My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 784 - 0442 Barrier Concealed (Two in One)_2

But... why did Master suddenly say something like this?

Wen Li was a bit confused.

"Whether it’s people or demons, ultimately under the Dao, they’re all mere mortals, but immortals are different." Zhu Pingniang shrugged her shoulders. "In an era of great strife, who knows what might happen? Maybe the barrier in Qing Province will suddenly collapse. In this world, is there any barrier that can last forever?"

Collapse?

Upon hearing this, Wen Li’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

If the barrier of Qing Province really collapsed and the Demon Race rushed in...

Wen Li took a deep breath and seriously asked, "Master, have you... received any information?"

"Of course not, I’m just talking nonsense." Zhu Pingniang said earnestly.

The barrier is in perfect condition, still as solid as ever, and feels like it could stand for ages.

"Then... you..."

Wen Li didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Even someone as good-natured as Wen Li was temporarily rendered speechless by a few words from Zhu Pingniang.

Why had her own Master Tong Jun suddenly taken on such a senseless manner?

"Do you think I’m talking nonsense?" Zhu Pingniang smiled.

"Somewhat." Wen Li nodded, still quite earnest. "The barrier is a critical matter, it is not something to joke about."

"Ah Li, do you know?" Suddenly, Zhu Pingniang put away her smile.

"Know what?" Wen Li asked in confusion.

Zhu Pingniang glanced at the rain outside the window, then a water mirror appeared in her hand, her fingers penetrated it as if through a thin membrane.

"Nowadays, the rain from the sky can pass through any Spiritual Power... so this time when you came down, you used an umbrella... right."

"Yes."

Wen Li nodded.

Now the Lingyu above Chaoyun has become something strange across the entire cultivation realm.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Everyone thinks... this rain is related to the Sect Leader, but Master said..."

"Said it’s related to Chang’an, right." Zhu Pingniang continued Wen Li’s words.

"Yes."

Zhu Pingniang was surprised to see Wen Li’s calm gaze: "You’re not surprised? Chang’an is just an Open Source Realm."

"Master Xu is destined to be extraordinary." Wen Li gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and softly said, "It’s not strange at all."

Even though others often praised her talent, Wen Li always felt that Master Xu was much more formidable than her.

Whether it was his invincible Sea of Consciousness or the way his words could effortlessly disturb her Mental Realm, Wen Li felt truly inferior in comparison.

"You seem to have high regard for him." Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but feel curious.

Even if Wen Li liked Xu Chang’an, she was not the type to see Xi Shi in a lover’s eye. If she thought Xu Chang’an was formidable, there must be a reason.

"So, when everyone said he had poor talent, did you prepare the Source Opening Pill for him because you believed in his exceptional ability?" Zhu Pingniang pressed on.

"Yes." Wen Li nodded.

She was probably the only one in the Chaoyun Sect who noticed Xu Chang’an’s extraordinariness before he opened his Source realm or showed any signs of prominence.

"Why?" Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but ask.

"Master Xu watched my Sword Dance." Wen Li began, only to be interrupted by Zhu Pingniang.

"You danced for him?" Zhu Pingniang’s eyes widened.

Wen Li: "..."

"...Sorry, Ah Li, please continue." Zhu Pingniang said sheepishly.

"Master Xu watched my Sword Dance and managed to learn some of its Realm." Wen Li said, "At that time... he had just begun Qi Cultivation."

So, rather than saying Xu Chang’an’s talent was lacking, Wen Li found it stranger that Xu Chang’an had been tirelessly cultivating but remained stagnant.

"Your... Sword Intent?" Zhu Pingniang was taken aback, her eyes wide with disbelief saying, "How could it be? I’ve never heard you mention it, and... the techniques Chang’an knows are only two, even if they have traces of your Swordsmanship... where does his Sword Intent come from..."

Zhu Pingniang suddenly had an epiphany.

"Right, I forgot."

This was Wen Li, after all.

Many sought to learn her Sword Techniques, but Wen Li’s sword was always accompanied by Sword Intent. Without the skill, others couldn’t even learn the "form" due to the obstruction of the Sword Intent.

In Xu Chang’an’s sword, however, the shadow of Wen Li gradually appeared, meaning he had naturally understood the Intent.

"But in the end, only a small amount of Intent can be transformed into form; that’s the limit." Wen Li sighed softly, her eyes filled with a brilliance that Zhu Pingniang couldn’t understand.

Wen Li lowered her head and whispered, "If Master Xu’s cultivation was higher, maybe he could see things I can’t... perhaps."

"Ah Li, why didn’t you tell others about Chang’an’s Sword Dao Talent?" Zhu Pingniang asked angrily, "Why keep it a secret?"

If they had known earlier, the Sect Leader might have paid attention to Xu Chang’an sooner, and he wouldn’t have had to be ’bullied’ up to the Open Source Realm on the mountain, which was vital for keeping his spirit intact.

Being cared for when one’s down is different from being noticed after showcasing talent, these are two different concepts.

By the time Xu Chang’an was finally noticed due to his mysterious Sea of Consciousness Spirit Platform, he had already endured enough hardship.

"A secret?" Wen Li shook her head: "I didn’t keep it a secret, I told Master Li."

"Master Li is who..." Zhu Pingniang said, pausing and covering her face.

"Ah Bai..."

Li Zhibai.

That made sense.

If it was Li Zhibai, she probably didn’t care at all, since she didn’t even pay attention to the Profound Sword Bureau and Immortal Swords.

Back then, Xu Chang’an had nobody who wanted him, and he could only go to the public Sword Hall to listen to lessons. Given that Li Zhibai was Xu Chang’an’s teacher... it made perfect sense for Wen Li to report this matter to Li Zhibai.

In fact, since Wen Li was also taught the basics by Li Zhibai, she knew Li Zhibai’s status, so in Wen Li’s mind, Xu Chang’an’s extraordinariness had already been reported to the higher-ups... She never paid attention after that.

In simple terms, if Wen Li thought Xu Chang’an’s talent was poor or merely average, why would she often perform Sword Dances in the courtyard and give him pointers?

Does she look as fond of beauties as Miss Lu?

This is also part of the responsibilities of Muyu Peak’s Senior.

However, Zhu Pingniang understood now. No wonder Li Zhibai tacitly recommended Xu Chang’an to learn swordplay and taught him the basics of Swordsmanship.

"Ah Bai..." Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but clench her fists: "Indeed, how could someone of such prestigious status only start showing abnormalities after breaking through the Open Source realm? It seems she stifled it."

She had one more reason to settle scores with Ah Bai.

Wen Li glanced at the spontaneously angry Zhu Pingniang without any intention of pursuing the matter.

"Enough... since you know Chang’an’s talent is good, this Lingyu..." Zhu Pingniang calmed herself, pointing to the distance: "Ah Li, if this rain can’t be stopped by any Spiritual Power, if it rains near the barrier, could the raindrops reach outside the barrier?"

Zhu Pingniang asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Wen Li squeezed her fingertips with a little more force.

She frowned, taking a long time to shake her head: "I... don’t know."

"Right." Zhu Pingniang gave Wen Li a meaningful look and said nothing more.

There is one thing only the true higher-ups know.

That is, just like no matter what level of Inner Realm or Illusion Technique couldn’t affect Xu Chang’an’s mind, no array could obstruct him on the Chaoyun Sect, including the Sect’s core Array Barrier.

Then...

What about the barrier in Qing Province?

Zhu Pingniang gently shook her head.

In truth, she too wanted to go outside and take a look.

Just then, Zhu Pingniang saw Wen Li stand up suddenly.

"Master, do you mean that Master Xu’s existence might destroy the barrier in Qing Province?" Wen Li was now very serious.

"Huh?"

Zhu Pingniang was taken aback.

Did Wen Li not understand her ’meaningful’ look just now?

These are just speculations... just speculations.

"I-I didn’t say that, don’t talk nonsense." Zhu Pingniang waved her hands vehemently.

She was utterly exasperated with Wen Li.

Is this something one can easily discuss?
