CHAPTER 105: 086 TAIPING CHANG’AN (2-IN-1)

Miss Yun’s thoughts are always unpredictable and difficult to grasp, but what she’s thinking at this moment is not wrong. As long as her husband is alive and willing to let her stay by his side... then everything is fine.

This is the stability that no amount of effort can surpass, this is Chang’an.

"Hmm..." Yun Qian mused for a moment, staring at Wen Li.

Moreover, even though she deliberately tried to link Wen Li and Xu Chang’an together, she still couldn’t feel a trace of the sourness described in the books.

"..."

Wen Li, seeing Yun Qian’s gaze fixed on her, was a bit puzzled.

Junior Sister Yun was asking about the meaning of cultivation.

She responded with her own meaning, and then Yun Qian appeared as if she was deep in thought... it had to be said, in Wen Li’s eyes, Junior Sister Yun seemed not very clever.

I suppose that’s only natural.

If Wen Li herself did not have many worldly experiences, someone suddenly saying that cultivation was for long-term peace would also seem like empty talk to her, unable to practically motivate her cultivation.

The impression Yun Qian gave her was that she spoke whatever came to mind, straightforwardly, so Wen Li felt she could speak frankly with Yun Qian.

——

"Junior Sister."

Wen Li interrupted Yun Qian’s thoughts, and when Yun Qian looked over, she said, "There are many meanings to cultivation. Simply put, if cultivation can achieve your purpose, then it is the meaning of your cultivation."

The purposes of others’ cultivation cannot be used as one’s reference; this is especially important on Muyu Peak, where countless minor paths of cultivation exist.

"I understand." Yun Qian responded, her eyes narrowing slightly.

If so, her main purpose of cultivation would be to make her husband happy, and then... have a child?

And Miss Wen.

"..." Wen Li said nothing, her gaze slowly drifting to a piece of calligraphy hanging in the room.

She recognized the handwriting; it was Xu Chang’an’s. However, compared to his matured script now on Muyu Peak, the strokes here were slightly young, yet still exhibited an elegant and delicate distribution of ink.

[Live in utmost peace, enjoy the rising tides of the blue sea.]

As Wen Li looked over, her Sword Heart gradually peeled away the meaning contained in the ink words, feeling the intent of "Chang’an" and "peace" pour out, as if the writer had witnessed a peaceful era themselves.

Chang’an, Chang’an...

Slowly Plan Chang’an.

Recalling Xu Chang’an’s gentle eyes, Wen Li’s eyes fluttered slightly, thinking perhaps what Junior Brother seeks... is similar to what she seeks.

Perhaps not exactly the same, but at least there would be overlapping areas.

If there truly is a peaceful Chang’an, if she could touch Chang’an, then for her... would the path of cultivation reach its end?

——

Yun Qian noticed Wen Li’s quivering eyes, thinking that she indeed really liked Xu Chang’an’s writing. In this regard, Miss Wen had better taste than Miss Qin, who also loved Xu Chang’an’s scripts.

Yun Qian didn’t particularly care which Chang’an Wen Li pursued, but still... Wen Li daydreaming at Xu Chang’an’s writing and enjoying the tea he brewed made Yun Qian like her more.

Her husband’s writing should indeed be the most treasured thing under heaven.

To know that these words could even captivate her, making her spend entire nights copying them.

Something that can keep Yun Qian copying tirelessly until fatigue takes her under the desk... not many could comprehend the significance contained within.

——

In this world, what does it mean for someone besides Xu Chang’an to make Yun Qian feel good?

Suddenly, in Wen Li’s eyes, the ink on the wall changed form, each stroke and line transformed into entities leaving strange traces in the air, subtle yet unfathomable.

The brush fell into Yin and Yang, dispersing and transforming into an intent of Qiankun, as if stardust flowed.

Wen Li stared blankly at the wall, carefully observing, as if rivers of ink flowed within her bright eyes, exactly following the trails of the writing on the wall.

The world in Wen Li’s eyes took on a new form, with the sound of evening rain against the window lattice crisp and clear, the moonlight gently pouring down, the weeds in the courtyard brushing against the walls leaving slight marks.

Wind moving, soil moving, objects moving.

In a daze, Wen Li’s body grew lighter and lighter, unconsciously activating her cultivation, countless crystal-clear pear blossoms formed entirely of Sword Qi appeared eagerly around her, like raindrops hitting water lilies.

Among the several pear blossoms, some were already blooming, crystal-clear, like flawless jade, exquisite and magnificent, with every petal’s texture visible in detail.

Surrounded by petals, Wen Li appeared otherworldly.

Enlightenment.

From looking at the words, she achieved enlightenment.

——

Women always love things that are crystal-clear and beautiful.

Yun Qian didn’t particularly fancy gemstones or jewelry, but she thought the scene of Wen Li surrounded by sword blossoms enhanced her charm as a woman.

If she could also be openly encircled by "Sword Yuan" in front of Xu Chang’an, perhaps she would become more beautiful and more appealing to Xu Chang’an.

Seeing the Sword Qi surrounding Wen Li reminded Yun Qian of something important—Xu Chang’an had said his favorite female protagonist in a book was a girl named "Ah Qing."
