CHAPTER 260: 0173 THE MEANING OF COMPATIBILITY (2-IN-1)

Listening to Yun Qian’s words, Xu Chang’an only felt that his earlier hope for Miss Yun to find her "self" was extremely foolish.

Indeed.

The things she wanted, the places she longed to go, were all related to him.

"..."

Yun Qian sensed the abrupt drop in Xu Chang’an’s mood, and she asked, puzzled, "Can’t I go to the place where you live?"

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t take you there. After all, I was going there to prepare a few fruits and keep them preserved with Spiritual Qi for use downhill." Xu Chang’an stroked Yun Qian’s silky long hair, comforting her, and then said, "Miss, I was thinking we would go up the mountain together... In the future, there might not be a chance to return to Beisang City, but here we are, going back again so soon."

"Hmm." Yun Qian responded.

Xu Chang’an thought for a moment and asked, "My residence at Muyu Peak, your residence at Celestial Bright Peak, and our little courtyard in Beisang City... Miss, which do you like the most?"

Yun Qian didn’t understand Xu Chang’an’s meaning. She glanced at the bamboo bed under her and the simple room, hugged Xu Chang’an’s arm, and seriously said, "I like it here the most."

"You like the courtyard of the Sword Hall?" Xu Chang’an thought there was nothing much to see here, except for a few plum blossoms aside from the stakes.

Just as he was about to ask why, he suddenly understood and said with a helpless look, "You say you like it here, it’s probably because... I’m here, right?"

Without any surprise, Yun Qian nodded.

Wherever he was, was home. She naturally liked home.

"I guessed it." Xu Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate that he realized this before asking her directly. Otherwise... he would again be caught off guard by Miss Yun’s simple "words of affection."

——

The rain was falling outside, because Xu Chang’an said he enjoyed the tranquility of rainy days like this.

"Miss, just so you know, there’s nothing much to see in my courtyard at Muyu Peak." Xu Chang’an glanced at the curtain of rain outside the window and prepared Yun Qian: "Maybe it’s not even as nice as here at the Sword Hall... After all, there’s good scenery here."

Yes, there’s even a bed here to rest.

On the nights when he was alone at Muyu Peak, he would sit on his pillow, relying on cultivation and meditation to pass the night. Given his past talent, if he didn’t make good use of every moment... he might still be stuck at the Qi Refining Realm.

Yun Qian turned her head and glanced at Xu Chang’an, calmly saying, "I just want to take a look."

"It’s understandable if you like to take a look." Xu Chang’an coughed lightly and then whispered in Yun Qian’s ear, "It’s just that we showed off our affection in front of the senior sisters today, and in the future... I’m afraid the coming days won’t be easy for me."

"Show off our affection?" Yun Qian blinked, her fluttering eyelashes making Xu Chang’an’s heart itch.

"It’s what those men and women do by the lake in Beisang City." Xu Chang’an used an explanation Yun Qian could understand.

"The people boating on the lake kiss..." Yun Qian recalled something and said, "You just carried me to hurry on the road, it’s not the same."

"Miss, to the senior sisters, it’s all the same." Xu Chang’an shook his head helplessly, "We are a couple. If I take you back to my place at Muyu Peak and they see, who knows what they’ll say."

He knew the nature of the senior sisters.

They wouldn’t make things difficult, but Xu Chang’an was certain that if he encountered the senior sisters alone on the mountain in the coming days, he would definitely be teased mercilessly.

"Is it important?" Yun Qian noticed Xu Chang’an’s emotions were chaotic and asked, puzzled, "Can’t let them see?"

"Why not." Xu Chang’an curved his lips, "We are justified."

This is his wife.

Xu Chang’an cast away the miscellaneous thoughts and then, seemingly thoughtful, said, "It’s just that... if Miss also stays at Muyu Peak in the future, considering this matter, it’s about time I spruce up that courtyard."

She wouldn’t want to live outside, so the only option was for her to live with him.

That courtyard was too simple. It was fine for him alone, but if Yun Qian moved over... it would require some effort.

Let’s move some flowers over from the Steward Hall.

"I can live with you here." Yun Qian remembered this point and nodded seriously, "This is also why I want to come to Muyu Peak."

"Good thing I chose a place at the foot of the mountain, with no one around. Otherwise, just considering the cultivation techniques, it would be too inconvenient for us to live in a crowded place." Xu Chang’an sighed.

"Inconvenient? What do you mean?" Yun Qian turned her head in confusion.

"Nothing." Xu Chang’an, suddenly seeing the slightly scraped, soft-looking lipstick on Yun Qian’s lips, subtly loosened his embrace around Yun Qian’s waist and moved slightly in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing?" Yun Qian suddenly felt Xu Chang’an’s reproach and moved closer again.

"Miss, show some restraint." Xu Chang’an coughed.

"This isn’t something you can say anytime." Yun Qian glanced at the room and the bamboo couch beneath them.

"Alright, it’s my fault." Xu Chang’an sighed, feeling a bit of the difficulty Li Zhibai had when he couldn’t speak to him.

Miss Yun was too pure, to the point where he didn’t know how to talk to her about Yin Yang Dual Cultivation.

He knew that given Yun Qian’s nature, she wouldn’t mind such matters, nor find them strange... Yet, with such a simple difficulty, he couldn’t bring it up.

’Indeed... unlike normal couples.’

Xu Chang’an sighed once more, stopped avoiding, and embraced her again, saying, "It’s not that we’re abnormal; it’s me who’s unmotivated."
