My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 963 - 532: Xu Chang’an May Have Many Senior Brothers (Double-Length)

Li Zhibai, as a living fossil in the Cultivation Realm, theoretically speaking, there should be few things in the world that she doesn’t know.

Indeed, despite her dislike for going out and lack of interest in external matters, she cannot escape the fact that the closest circles of the top cultivators are intricately connected to her.

Before she ascended Muyu Peak, Li Zhibai didn’t need to know about the major events; they would naturally come to her.

Such as the confirmation of the next Sect Leader for several Major Sects... Li Zhibai was usually the first to know.

Anyone who could weave some fate with her would owe her a favor, and as the foremost beneath the Qiankun Realm... no one would pass up the chance to get close to her. After all, the existence of the Qiankun Realm is beyond logical understanding, and though this Hidden Immortal is somewhat reclusive, in the end, she still values personal relationships.

However, as time passed, the favors once held became increasingly faint. In the end, only Hehuan Sect and Profound Sword Bureau remained able to see Li Zhibai through personal ties.

These two seized the opportunity and sent their future successors to her Daoist Temple.

They were Zhu Tongjun from Hehuan Sect.

And Sikong Lixu from Profound Sword Bureau.

Li Zhibai recalled distant memories, thinking how quickly time passes. In the blink of an eye, Tong Jun is almost catching up with her in cultivation, while that child Li Su has become the trend-setting Leader of the Righteous Path, due to the Sect Leader’s absence.

But regardless of how time changes, when Li Zhibai thought of these two, her most vivid impression was of young boys sneaking peeks at a maiden cultivating.

She rubbed her temples.

Knowing too much has its downside... It’s worth noting that the name Sikong Lixu now carries a might unknown to her as a Hidden Immortal, yet... she knows too many people’s dark histories. No wonder Li Su was so uncomfortable after meeting her a few times as he grew older.

Which is normal.

Li Zhibai stretched lazily.

Back then, she actually favored Sikong Lixu over Zhu Tongjun, since her ties with Profound Sword Bureau were indeed deeper, and she did nurture Sikong Lixu for a while when he was young.

In hindsight, compared to the cold and stiff-faced Zhu Tongjun, she naturally preferred the endearing ’Auntie’ from Sikong Lixu.

But now, things have truly reversed.

All in all, many things happened during that period, and by chance, a young boy gradually began to admire an exceptionally talented young girl. Everyone noticed that passionate sentiment, except the oblivious Zhu Tongjun, while Li Zhibai saw it all.

At the time, she wasn’t yet dependent on Zhu Tongjun’s company, so she could watch as an onlooker, and frankly... she even thought there wouldn’t be any harm in Zhu Pingniang pairing with Sikong Lixu.

One was the successor of Hehuan Sect, the other of the Profound Sword, and with Immortal Chaoyun above them, naturally, others wouldn’t be worried they would merge into a giant entity, so long as the pair liked each other; it could even become a tale of romance.

Not to mention, the only two Immortal Artifacts in the Cultivation Realm are the Divine Sword of Profound Sword Bureau and the Hehuan Bell of Hehuan Sect.

This near-divine matchmaking made Li Zhibai once think... perhaps Zhu Tongjun and Sikong Lixu were exceptionally fated.

Then...

Then nothing more happened.

The pressure from Zhu Tongjun was immense. At the time, she was like clouds above Frosty Heaven, like Xue Mei standing firm against the biting winds of snowy peaks, and even Sikong Lixu couldn’t speak about matters of the heart facing her emotionless visage. Worse yet... he couldn’t even string together a coherent sentence.

Most likely, she left him with an impression of being ’not very smart.’

So, the brief period of joint cultivation came to an end like that.

One returned to Profound Sword Bureau.

One returned to Hehuan Sect.

The distinction is that Li Zhibai was still satisfied enough with Zhu Tongjun to give her the opportunity to occasionally visit her at the Daoist Temple.

Later, as Zhu Tongjun’s personality changed, gaining more notoriety for being a madwoman, while Sikong Lixu was universally known as an elegant gentleman, they never forged even the slightest connection.

Thus, there is actually no marriage fate between these two. If there were, it was only Sikong Lixu’s unrequited love.

Now, Tong Jun has become the absurd figure she is today.

Li Zhibai hadn’t paid much attention to Sikong Lixu later. Occasionally, when Tong Jun mentioned him, she spoke of his son, Sikong Jing, as a prodigious talent, able to compete fairly with the Immortal Sword of Profound Sword Bureau at just eight years old... Of course, he was still no match for Gu Qiancheng of Hehuan Sect, who had the Hehuan Bell recognize him as its master while he was still a swaddled infant...

Evidently, Zhu Pingniang, to this day, remains oblivious to the fact that a man once liked her.

And yet, youthful incidents cannot be counted... but Li Zhibai still remembers Sikong Lixu’s gaze.

That was definitely not the gaze one would abandon if faced with Qingyi.

Generally, if Zhu Tongjun hadn’t later developed an unreasonable personality, becoming entirely like a cultivation maniac at any mention of her... Sikong Lixu wouldn’t have given up.

Think about it, if he had really relinquished his feelings early on, why would he remain single for so long, only having Sikong Jing decades later?

Thinking about this, Li Zhibai suddenly paused.

Speaking of which, when did Sikong Lixu have a wife?

Perhaps precisely when Tong Jun ventured down... to the brothel?
