Chapter 1115: Chapter 612: Product of Reincarnation

Not long ago, a streak of light wrapped around the entire painted boat, stealing some of the time of those present.

At the banquet table, only Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian were unaffected.

Then, Xuchang saw the Senior who had given him the Jade Pendant conversing with Ah Qing on the stage for a while.

Although he heard the conversation between the two, he could sense that the atmosphere was not awkward, and in the end, Ah Qing respectfully bowed to the other party—

These were things Li Zhibai had just heard from Xu Chang’an.

"..."

She was silent for a long time, her fingers lightly pressed against her brow, and after slowly digesting this fact, she suddenly looked up at Xu Chang’an.

"Chang’an, do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Eh?"

Xu Chang’an was taken aback.

He didn’t understand why the teacher asked such a question, thinking that the teacher had been immobilized. Even if she wasn’t shocked, she should have been somewhat surprised... yet unexpectedly, Li Zhibai’s first words were actually about reincarnation.

"...?"

Xu Chang’an blinked.

Is reincarnation important?

Interestingly, he had just talked to Miss Yun about reincarnation earlier... but at that time, the teacher was immobilized and shouldn’t have been able to hear their conversation.

Li Zhibai’s mood at this time was somewhat gloomy, like the clouds raining down in the deep night outside the window, layer upon layer of black clouds pressing down, covering the bright moon, dyeing the sky, and gradually suppressing her originally high spirits.

Her mood was not good.

"Teacher, you... what’s wrong." Xu Chang’an keenly noticed Li Zhibai’s emotional fluctuation and couldn’t help but ask.

Compared to Shi Qingjun, the teacher’s mood is more important.

"It’s nothing, and... the fact that she set up a barrier isn’t surprising." Li Zhibai shook her head: "With that person’s ability, it’s normal for me and Tong Jun to have no reaction."

The abnormality was Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian not being immobilized by the Sect Leader with Yin Yang Qi... No, Yun Qian was affected, the abnormality is only Xu Chang’an alone.

Regarding this matter, Li Zhibai felt it was no big deal, instead, it confirmed her suspicions even more.

Ah Qing’s Sword Dance indeed received the Sect Leader’s blessing, and seeing Ah Qing’s bow, and the Sect Leader even using Yin Yang Qi in such a place... maybe Ah Qing weighs more heavily in the Sect Leader’s heart than she thought.

Then... there’s nothing else.

No more matters requiring her attention.

What truly perplexed Li Zhibai was not Shi Qingjun and Ah Qing, but Xu Chang’an.

The Sect Leader’s Yin Yang Technique could control even her and Tong Jun without any reaction, and even after being controlled, couldn’t detect any abnormality... yet was ineffective on Chang’an.

Looking at the worried young man in front of her, Li Zhibai lowered her gaze.

She always knew that Chang’an’s abilities were strange, even bizarre, capable of easily breaking Tong Jun’s Glazed Body, yet to her, she never directly faced his abilities until this moment when Li Zhibai clearly saw his anomalies.

She realized, a large part of her strong reaction was due to her admiration for Shi Qingjun, but Xu Chang’an increasingly strayed from her understanding, becoming more unfamiliar... indeed an undeniable fact.

This unfamiliarity allowed Li Zhibai to feel a bit uneasy for the first time in many years.

In Li Zhibai’s eyes, Xu Chang’an in cultivation should have been a blank canvas, where only she could initially leave her favorite colors.

But as time passed, Li Zhibai began to not understand this painting anymore, suddenly seeing colors she couldn’t comprehend on that canvas, even... perhaps there was already a painting on the canvas.

If that’s the case...

Is Chang’an still Chang’an?

Li Zhibai didn’t know, staring intently at the young man in front of her, noticing that sometimes he seems within reach, sometimes as distant as the Great Sun in the sky, and sometimes... wearing a tint of rouge.

Steady, youthful, with a personality as delicate as a young girl’s, making her feel inferior to him in culinary skills.

This is the impression Xu Chang’an gives her.

"I sometimes really envy Tong Jun’s open-mindedness." Li Zhibai whispered.

If it were Zhu Pingniang, regardless of how Xu Chang’an changes, she would accept it calmly and wouldn’t think of those initial colors on him.

But Zhu Pingniang is Zhu Pingniang, and Li Zhibai is Li Zhibai.

She would mind.

That’s why she asked Xu Chang’an about ’reincarnation’.

"Teacher..." Xu Chang’an scratched his head: "This student is foolish, doesn’t understand what the teacher means."

If the time pause was something he was fussing over and not worth the attention, then what’s causing the teacher’s worried expression now... why?

"Reincarnation, didn’t I ask?" Li Zhibai took a deep breath and smiled: "Do you believe in reincarnation, or how do you view reincarnation?"

Li Zhibai really wanted to know his perspective.

The reason, of course, is that she’s increasingly believing that Xu Chang’an is indeed the reincarnation of an Immortal.

Because he himself is the cause of the Immortal Reincarnation, allowing him to achieve these astonishing feats... thus naturally, Li Zhibai wants to know Xu Chang’an’s view on reincarnation. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Blink, Li Zhibai’s moist eyes closely watched Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

In her understanding, reincarnation and ascension are almost similar, just ’legends’, a nonexistent hoax.

"Teacher, asking like this... I also don’t know what to say." Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly.

Natural cycles, circulations, stars’ rotations, fate’s reincarnation...

The teacher probably means these things, right?

He doesn’t understand these profound truths.

"Just say what you know." Li Zhibai’s eyes are serious.

"Mm."

Xu Chang’an responded, then said: "The teacher asked if I believe in reincarnation... actually, I do not."

"Don’t believe... in reincarnation?" Li Zhibai’s fingers lightly pinched the corner of her clothes.

She thinks Xu Chang’an himself might be connected to reincarnation, yet he says he doesn’t believe?

"Strangely enough, even if I... should believe in reincarnation, I just don’t quite like this concept." Xu Chang’an showed such an expression in front of Li Zhibai for the first time, it’s his trust.

"...?" Li Zhibai frowned.

[Should believe in reincarnation.]

What does this mean?

Perhaps... only someone who’s seen reincarnation firsthand could say such things.

Yet Li Zhibai didn’t pursue, just deeply glanced at Xu Chang’an, asking: "Dislike the concept of reincarnation?"

"Mm, dislike the ideas of rebirth, future lives, even you could say I’m somewhat averse to them." Xu Chang’an shrugged: "Whenever reincarnation is mentioned, it always feels like unfinished tasks in this life are pushed onto the next..."

Thus dislike, and unwillingness to believe.

"Teacher..." Xu Chang’an smiled: "To speak of it, the person most likely to believe in reincarnation under the heavens might as well be me."

After all, he himself is the product of reincarnation.
