My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 907 - 503: Father and Daughter

She was silent for a moment, "The women of Muyu Peak also mostly drink fruit wine, which is common enough."

At that moment, Li Zhibai’s thoughts began to muddle, and she could only ponder the meaning behind the Sect Leader’s words piece by piece.

Simply put.

She had never thought about how to respond in this kind of casual conversation with the Sect Leader.

What should she say?

Perhaps talk about... Chang’an?

The two were in a high place, and their gaze naturally fell on the colorful lights by the lake shore. As the rain and clear light fell, the chill in the air gradually rose, and the temperature began to drop.

Although the lights around were not dim, Li Zhibai kept thinking that the atmosphere here... seemed a bit too oppressive.

Ultimately, it was because her mood was somewhat scattered.

There was no way not to feel disordered. After all, the girl she admired was holding a wine cup with slender fingers, sipping lightly as if she were savoring some precious treasure.

But in fact, it was just the most ordinary yellow wine, to warm the body.

If Xu Chang’an were by her side, he could probably sense the awkward atmosphere between Shi Qingjun and Li Zhibai, and what kind of déjà vu it evoked.

As strange as it sounded, it indeed felt somewhat like the awkwardness of a conversation between a father and child—though both people meant well and wanted to speak, once they did, it just didn’t feel right, always a bit off.

But Li Zhibai had no way out. Even though she should have been accustomed to Shi Qingjun’s presence, she had never considered how to respond in this kind of casual conversation with the Sect Leader.

Especially when discussing such matters in a brothel...?

Her mind was somewhat overloaded now.

Hmm.

Imagine if a father and son coincidentally appeared in a place of wind and moon... the speechless feeling after meeting each other is pretty much the atmosphere now.

The Sect Leader approached her voluntarily, yet had nothing serious to discuss... Li Zhibai didn’t know how to begin, so she could only respond passively.

The key was that after Shi Qingjun praised her for being beautiful and mentioned Zhu Pingniang, she fell silent, as if leaving the topic to Li Zhibai.

This made things difficult. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Asking her to find a topic was not fair to her.

Li Zhibai was never the most diplomatic girl. Thinking it through... she found that mentioning Xu Chang’an was the only way to go.

Only matters related to Chang’an could allow her to speak without feeling so awkward. After all, Li Zhibai truly wasn’t good at casual conversation, and Chang’an... being someone with peculiar powers, reporting her student’s recent activities to the Sect Leader was barely considered as proper business, which could alleviate the tense atmosphere a bit.

Li Zhibai quietly apologized to her student in her heart.

She had to use Chang’an; otherwise, her heart felt like it was pressed down by a boulder, leaving her breathless.

Li Zhibai recalled the piece of Glazed Jade hanging on Xu Chang’an’s waist from the Sect Leader. She briefly mentioned Xu Chang’an’s recent situation and his cultivation realm, then observed Shi Qingjun’s thoughtful expression, and let out a slight breath of relief.

It seemed that the topic was not wrong.

The Sect Leader was indeed very concerned about Chang’an.

But what Li Zhibai did not expect was when Shi Qingjun suddenly asked, "For him, is cultivation necessary?"

"Cultivation?" Li Zhibai was slightly startled and meant to nod.

For Chang’an, cultivation was certainly necessary. Hadn’t she witnessed that child doing anything for cultivation?

But when a wisp of rain fell on her face, the chill on her face opened her eyes slightly. She watched the rain similarly fall on Shi Qingjun’s snowy neck with the wind.

She fell silent.

Despite earlier suspicions, when she truly saw Shi Qingjun being unable to handle even this Lingyu, the shock and confusion within her still took over.

After a long pause, Li Zhibai’s expression became complex.

Indeed.

For Chang’an, were cultivation or cultivation realm truly meaningful?

Even Li Zhibai, who had personally led Xu Chang’an into the door, had to consider this question.

Based on her speculation, whether it was the earliest Heaven-Reaching Tribulation Thunder, the later Great Sun Soaring, or today’s Xiao Xiang Night Rain, none were limited by cultivation realm. It seemed that in the face of such mystery, like the Heavenly Dao above the high heavens, everyone was treated equally under its gaze.

All beings are equal.

Whether you’re a novice in the Qi Refining Realm or an empress residing high on a Holy Mountain, when that Purple Thunder appears, all extraordinary means will be banned, rendering everyone an ordinary mortal.

Whether you’re a brothel girl or a king of the Qing Province, under such rain, if you don’t wish to be drenched, you have to hold an umbrella.

All beings as one, indistinguishable, what use is cultivation?

After a simple statement, Li Zhibai realized that the Sect Leader actually didn’t care about Xu Chang’an’s cultivation realm at all. After a moment of silence, Li Zhibai softly said, "I also don’t know if his cultivation is necessary, but Chang’an currently believes that cultivation is very important to him."

At every stage in life, there are things one needs to do, and whether they are meaningful is not something an outsider can answer.

"Is that so." Shi Qingjun neither agreed nor disagreed, only gently swirling the crystal clear liquid in the wine cup, as if reluctant to drink it all in one go.

She glanced in Xu Chang’an’s direction: "Maybe it’s like that, so... one must cultivate well."

Li Zhibai didn’t understand, but she thought, perhaps the Sect Leader meant that even such an extraordinary being like Xu Chang’an was still cultivating well, so people like them should not give up either.
