My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 701 - 0400 Zhu Tongjun’s Guess (Two-in-One)_2
If it weren’t for her ruthless methods, today’s Qing Province would probably be no different from Purgatory.
Zhu Tongjun gazed at the clean array hub, expressions of confusion, doubt, suspicion, and surprise constantly flickering in her eyes.
So, Dao Rhyme is exceedingly important.
Even more important than the Chaoyun Sect itself, then... why?
Why?
Why... did the Sect Leader dismiss the duty of collecting Dao Rhyme with the Mountain Protection Array?
Indeed, just now, after the Sect Leader integrated Spiritual Power, she casually removed the technique central to the array for Dao Rhyme... now, the Mountain Protection Array is no longer a facade, but genuinely serves to protect the realm of the Chaoyun Sect one hundred percent.
Zhu Tongjun seemed calm, but only she knew the shock in her heart at this moment.
The Sect Leader actually doesn’t need to collect Dao Rhyme anymore?
Has the sky fallen? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
It might as well be the sky falling.
After all, if the original intent of founding the Chaoyun Sect is no longer needed... how should Qing Province proceed?
And what of the Demon Sect and Chaoyun Sect?
What about the two Qiankun Realm masters...
"...Phew."
Zhu Tongjun gently exhaled a breath of clarity, tossing away the mixed thoughts.
Such a major issue is not something she should be pondering; as Zhibai said, she should simply trust the Sect Leader.
Moreover, this change in the Sect Leader should be a good thing for the Chaoyun Sect.
Who in the world would want to be a pawn, even if it’s the pawn of someone they admire?
"So, the Sect Leader’s previous concern for me..."
Was it genuine?
Zhu Tongjun lowered her eyelids, unable to help but furrow her brows.
Collecting Dao Rhyme for elevation leads to an incremental loss of emotion.
Now the Sect Leader’s emotions have returned, but she abandoned that Dao Rhyme.
Does this indicate that this path is wrong?
She couldn’t understand, so she didn’t think about it.
After conveying the core message that the Sect Leader doesn’t need Dao Rhyme to Li Zhibai, Zhu Tongjun cleared away the gloom in her eyes, donned the usual smile belonging to Zhu Pingniang, and surveyed the numerous top-grade Spirit Stones once left for collecting Dao Rhyme.
So many Spirit Stones—if that Chang’an boy saw them, he’d surely be dying of envy.
Hmm, next time there’s a chance, she’ll bring him here to have a look, and also tell him that these Spirit Stones can only be admired, not touched.
Watching him with that greedy look would certainly be amusing.
Hmm.
Zhu Tongjun’s figure flickered, and the Ice Blue Gilded Immortal Skirt vanished, replaced by the pitch-black glossy gown that Zhu Pingniang often wore in the Flower Moon Building.
Time to track down that rascal and settle accounts.
Damn it, being so heavy-handed with his sister, he should be mindful of his skin.
——
"Ms. Qing, why are you so restless?" The yellow-clothed maiden stood behind Ah Qing, her deft hands softly massaging Ah Qing’s slender shoulders, speaking gently, "Sister, don’t be nervous; it’s merely a Sword Dance... I trust you, and besides, Pingniang is here, Young Master Xu is here too."
"Young Master Xu is here?" Ah Qing sighed lightly, "Indeed, he’s here... then what has been the meaning of what I’ve done all these years?"
The yellow-clothed maiden observed the inexplicable emotions in Ah Qing’s eyes, not understanding, but obediently refrained from questioning, merely quietly doing what she should.
Ah Qing looked out the window.
Shi Qingjun’s actions, others might not see, but could she not see?
That woman actually really dismantled the technique and disregarded Dao Rhyme?
After Xu Chang’an could so easily disperse the Dao Rhyme Cage and perform "hero saving beauty," Dao Rhyme, which once mattered most to her, fell from its divine pedestal.
Finding an upward path from Dao Rhyme?
Yes, it can be found.
In these years, she indeed elevated quite a bit by collecting Dao Rhyme from beneath the Abyss Sea, but as a Half-Demon, her feelings gradually disappeared as well.
But in order to find an upward path, she must do so.
However, Xu Chang’an’s appearance made her realize that the so-called Heavenly Dao Aura and Heavenly Dao Rhythms were no big deal, nothing compared to the faint rouge scent on Young Master.
Celestial Dao Prison, is it formidable?
Formidable, but the Heavenly Dao Rhythms, when encountering Xu Chang’an’s aura, were like mice seeing a primordial beast, breaking to pieces and scattering.
Thus, from that moment, realizing Dao Rhyme was no longer supreme, she lost her reverence for it in her heart.
Seeking a path upward from Dao Rhyme?
What a joke.
Why not directly seek it from Xu Chang’an?
Dao Rhyme cannot be seen or touched, but the young master is different.
Shi Qingjun withdrew her gaze, thinking that since she could discover these matters, Shi Qingjun with cultivation suppressing her, and better understanding Dao Rhyme, probably would discover as well?
Therefore, Shi Qingjun abandoning Dao Rhyme now could only be because of that Young Master Xu.
Could it be that Shi Qingjun was also saved heroically?
At that moment, Ah Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed; Dao Rhyme or not, instead seemed less important.
Shaking her head.
She didn’t know what the future held.
Shi Qingjun abandoned that track, and herself—is she to continue merging with Dao Rhyme, pursuing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions route?
Glancing at the obedient maiden beside her, Ah Qing thought that staying here now, shamelessly performing a Sword Dance for Xu Chang’an later... probably is the answer she chose.
"...Finally, it’s fair." Ah Qing whispered.
Seeing that Shi Qingjun only now relinquished Dao Rhyme, she realized that Xu Chang’an’s uniqueness wasn’t evident for long, so... the two finally rarely stood on the same starting line in pursuit of a new path...
She wouldn’t lose.
With a smile and a lazy stretch, she glanced up at the High Heaven’s Immortal Sect.
Has Shi Qingjun descended the mountain?
Hard to say. But just retracting the technique for Dao Rhyme in the array... doesn’t mean she personally went to Beisang City.
Yet it does not hinder.
Rather, losing the central conflict, she wanted to peacefully talk with that woman.
Not that she wanted to be friends.
After competing for so many years, the grudges are intricately bound, not easily resolved.
Her wish to find a man for Shi Qingjun remained her heart’s desire.
...
Ah Qing was unaware that, at this moment, donning the veil anew, she sat in a pavilion in Beisang City, quietly watching the direction of the Demon Sect Holy Mountain.
Shi Qingjun: "..."
Dropping her eyelids.
At this moment, she pondered whether to have a proper talk with that woman.
Once, she viewed that woman as an enemy, for the path of Dao, you block me, I block you, until death.
Even Shi Qingjun, given the chance, would surely press her down completely, granting no chance of recovery.
Thus, upon finding her own cultivation diminishing by two levels, she would worry about that side.
But now, freed from Dao Rhyme’s influence, regaining feelings, she no longer single-mindedly pursued Dao, her heart surprisingly at peace.
Originally, it wasn’t such a big deal.
And embracing Dao Rhyme was clearly not a good path... with Demon Race encircling and future calamities arising, she may need her assistance after all.
Hence, Shi Qingjun contemplated reconciliation with her.
But how could that woman, after competing against herself for so many years, suddenly believe that Dao Rhyme wasn’t important?
Shi Qingjun knew very well how that girl disliked her.
So, Shi Qingjun considered one thing.
Whether to bring Young Master Xu along to visit the Demon Sect, showing herself?
If she dared to act against Young Master Xu, after suffering a setback, she would naturally believe.
"Hmm..."
Meditating.
Perhaps letting that girl suffer a loss would be quite interesting?
"Should be... more amusing than eating petals." Shi Qingjun murmured.
——
——
When Zhu Pingniang’s gaze fell on the painted boat’s kitchen from afar, she gently twitched her eyes...
Is this trouble?
Why did that dead girl show up at such a crucial moment?
In the chaotic kitchen, Miss Lu was crying loudly while clutching her "corpse," eyes swollen from crying so much in a short time.
And Xu Chang’an stood there, unsure what to do, as if stunned.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
Seeing her girl crying so terribly, she suddenly felt some guilt, wondering whether to go over...
Always using a fake body with the girl, how could she explain? She felt quite faceless.
Maybe...
She should not go?
