My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 747 - 0424 Xu Chang’an Thinks His Talent Is Inferior (Two-in-One)_2
He is feeling uneasy.
Why.
Yun Qian put away all her little thoughts, her gaze swept over with no fluctuation, seemingly indifferent, yet she held his hand and said seriously.
"What’s wrong with you... Did something happen that I don’t know about?"
"It’s nothing." Xu Chang’an looked away.
Yun Qian looked at him.
Her husband named Chang’an seldom hesitated, but he rarely felt this kind of unease.
Yet he said he’s fine.
"Are you lying to me?" Yun Qian asked.
"I wouldn’t dare." Xu Chang’an retreated.
"Well, actually..." Xu Chang’an held Yun Qian’s hand and sighed helplessly, "I’m just a little bit uneasy."
"Why."
"I don’t quite understand either." Xu Chang’an shook his head.
Ever since Zhu Pingniang sensed his talent and demonstrated sword techniques for him, Xu Chang’an felt a slight unease, and this anxiety grew to its peak when Yun Qian rushed over wanting to enter the kitchen.
"Don’t understand?" Yun Qian looked into Xu Chang’an’s eyes, saying calmly, "You should understand."
Xu Chang’an: "..."
After a moment of silence, Xu Chang’an finally gave in with a bitter smile, "I really can’t hide anything from you, Miss."
"Yes." Yun Qian nodded as a matter of course.
Xu Chang’an stopped hiding and asked, "Miss, do you still remember the reason I persuaded you to cultivate back then?"
"Because you asked me to." Yun Qian replied.
"No, I mean the reason I gave you." Xu Chang’an said helplessly.
"Hmm..." Yun Qian thought for a moment and said, "It was to have a path to walk in the future."
At that time, Xu Chang’an told her cultivation was to have a path to walk in the future. Yun Qian didn’t understand then, and she doesn’t understand now.
For Yun Qian, whose name is "Yun Qian," the starting point and endpoint of the road are already determined, so when her husband isn’t around, she likes to sleep and rest rather than walk.
"Indeed, for a path in the future." Xu Chang’an sighed and then softly said, "Miss, you’ve seen the girls at Flower Moon Building along the way."
"Yes." Yun Qian nodded, she naturally saw them.
"Does Miss think these girls have a path to walk?" Xu Chang’an asked.
Yun Qian blinked without speaking.
The girls appear to live happily and merrily, with protection, but living satisfactorily doesn’t mean it’s the path they willingly choose.
"So, I was thinking... if I wasn’t lucky enough to be chosen by Senior Zhu." Xu Chang’an turned, gently hugged Yun Qian’s waist, and whispered in her ear, "Then, Miss following me out would truly be for hardship."
Back then, Yun Qian had no choice, and if he had to go out to earn a living... Yun Qian would be forced to learn how to cook, forced to learn how to be a good wife.
Thinking of this made Xu Chang’an uneasy.
Because if his luck was worse back then and was not favored by Zhu Pingniang, the path laid before him and Yun Qian would be pitiably few, likely forcing them into passive choices.
If Yun Qian were really to follow him out to suffer hardship, even if Yun Qian accepted it gladly, he couldn’t accept it himself.
The only thing that makes Xu Chang’an uneasy is the possibility of not being able to give Yun Qian a better future.
"..." Yun Qian listened to Xu Chang’an’s words and blinked.
Her husband, who occasionally thinks deeply about such trivial matters, is truly lovable in her eyes.
"So?" Yun Qian asked.
"So, I’m a bit worried if I achieve nothing in cultivation and can’t provide Miss with more choices...what to do." Xu Chang’an said this, taking a deep breath.
The thought of becoming useless in the future, forcing Yun Qian into a future where she has to passively accept choices instead of making her own, made him a bit anxious.
Perhaps this is why he doesn’t want Yun Qian to cook.
Girls coming out from the island shouldn’t follow him to suffer.
"Achieve nothing?" Yun Qian thought for a moment and earnestly said, "You are very capable, you won’t be like that."
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Listening to Yun Qian’s words, the bitter smile on Xu Chang’an’s face grew wider, and he remained silent for a long time before saying, "But... my talent really isn’t good; everything now is false."
It’s all given by the system.
"I don’t understand." Yun Qian shook her head.
Xu Chang’an tightened his hold on Yun Qian slightly, as if only this could reassure him a bit.
Previously, one remark from Zhu Pingniang that his sword technique carried the breath of Wen Li awakened him.
In sword dao, he really has no talent, merely mimicking the sword techniques of Senior Wen, drawing a tiger into a cat.
And his inherent talent, all of it is derived from the system; without the system’s help, he’d still be struggling in the Qi Refining Realm. How could he enter Muyu Peak with talent alone?
Without these, Xu Chang’an stripped away some of the halos and discovered an exceedingly mediocre self.
How could he choose a path for the girl like this in the future?
So he looked like he had a heavy heart.
Yun Qian: "..."
At this moment, Miss Yun’s eyes showed slight disorder and... lack of confidence. She softly asked, "Who said your talent is no good at all, why say that."
"I know my own talent well." Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh.
The gap between genius and ordinary people, Xu Chang’an is painfully aware of.
Like the chasm between him and Wen Li.
In the cultivation realm, a world where the strong prey on the weak, only by gaining power can one control their destiny—Xu Chang’an realized this before entering the Chaoyun Sect.
But his talent was always average, that daily diligent cultivation only retained one-tenth of spiritual qi, making Xu Chang’an realize his inherent talent is quite mediocre.
The only barely entry-level swordsmanship was just mimicking the sword shadow from Senior Wen.
Then the system appeared.
A product of the system made Xu Chang’an overnight understand the gap between geniuses and ordinary people. After taking the primordial energy given by the system to change his aptitude, he could clearly feel the previously repulsive spiritual qi now felt intimate, as if the world and all its wonders were inviting him, eager to reveal themselves to him.
The once narrow road now opened its doors wide for him, allowing him to sense its mysteries.
Since then, Xu Chang’an understood why geniuses are different from ordinary people.
This terrifying gap is the insurmountable chasm between geniuses and ordinary people, and Wen Li... this gentle world even has such a gap between herself and those paragons of excellence.
After realizing the gap in talent, Xu Chang’an knew what kind of bright future Wen Li possesses.
And himself?
If there were no system, he’d still be in that muddled state; without Senior Wen, he’d struggle to grasp even the basics of the sword dao taught by the instructor.
The vast majority of ordinary people in the cultivation realm, and he is ordinary...
But Yun Qian...
She is not even average.
Born unable to cultivate, her elixir field can’t hold spiritual qi...
So, without the gifts, in the future he and Miss Yun—one being a talentless cultivator, the other an ordinary person unable to cultivate—this sense of falling is enough to make Xu Chang’an feel the crisis and unease desiring to provide Yun Qian a better life.
Yun Qian: "..."
She now rarely wants to speak.
Xu Chang’an’s talent might be to the extent of being able to cultivate by merely absorbing the remnants after the spiritual qi are extinguished by her aura.
As for sword techniques, Wen Li’s sword intent is not so easily glimpsed and mimicked.
But these can’t be said by Yun Qian.
Yun Qian wrapped her arms around Xu Chang’an’s waist, her gaze drifting.
"Miss, I’m not telling you these things because I feel inferior or think I’m a useless person." Xu Chang’an suddenly said.
He was never one to belittle himself.
Even if blessed by the system and Zhu Pingniang, these are still his opportunities.
His words are merely an encouragement to himself.
