My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 991 - 547: Wherever the Heart Leads (Double Release)
From the very beginning, Xu Chang’an wanted Yun Qian to be Li Zhibai’s disciple. This idea had never changed, from when he studied in Sword Hall, to when he was kicked out by the teacher and went to sweep there daily, to later when Zhu Pingniang told her that Li Zhibai was actually a very capable person.
To Xu Chang’an, Li Zhibai was an excellent teacher. Even with his foolishness, he learned from the teacher’s hands what cultivation meant and its essence.
Thus, in Xu Chang’an’s heart, Wen Li was Yun Qian’s guide, but if it came to choosing a teacher, a master, Li Zhibai had always been the primary choice.
Especially after realizing his teacher was indeed a remarkable Hidden Immortal, this idea was no longer suppressed.
However, the past Xu Chang’an would not speak of such things to Li Zhibai, because he knew with the teacher’s personality, he couldn’t bear to hear these things, at least... when it comes to how she chooses students, or even taking on disciples, absolutely no one can interfere.
Didn’t see that when he went to Muyu Peak initially, Zhu Pingniang didn’t recommend him to Li Zhibai, it was only by a stroke of luck that he acknowledged this teacher.
Even Zhu Pingniang knew not to meddle with Li Zhibai’s choices, so how could he be a fool?
However...
At this moment, Xu Chang’an seized this rare opportunity.
Firstly, Li Zhibai’s subtle, gentle change added to his courage.
Thinking that the teacher was this gentle today, her mood must be exceptionally good... she even helped him tidy his clothes, so... when he brings up this matter, the teacher should not be angry.
Then there was Li Zhibai telling him to follow his heart.
He really seized the opportunity well.
The teacher told him to say whatever was on his mind and not worry too much... Xu Chang’an felt he was an exceptionally obedient student, and so he didn’t worry about possible displeasure from Li Zhibai but spoke his mind.
With multiple factors combined, Xu Chang’an felt even if he was rejected, it wouldn’t truly anger Li Zhibai, so... he could indeed call it a rare opportunity.
But, all of Xu Chang’an’s little thoughts were really written on his face; he wouldn’t hide his thoughts in front of the teacher, so...
Li Zhibai felt helpless.
Take Yun Qian as a disciple?
This kid’s plans were ticking loudly, she could be said to hear them clearly.
She wanted the child to follow his heart and be carefree, but never expected... she herself became the first target?
Was she angry?
Not at all.
Li Zhibai sighed helplessly.
What’s there to be angry about, at least Chang’an daring to make a request means he has grown bold... even to his teacher, hence there’s no need to worry that he’d be weak to outsiders.
Li Zhibai: "..."
The problem is, she indeed hadn’t intended to take Yun Qian as a disciple... but, if she rejected Chang’an in such a place, would she... would she hurt his hard-earned courage?
Li Zhibai hesitated.
The always straightforward Daoist Nun, at this moment, turned into a hesitating person.
"..."
The sight of Li Zhibai’s slightly furrowed brows entered Xu Chang’an’s eyes, and he froze.
Is the teacher... in a dilemma?
Is it truly Li Zhibai?
If not for the familiarity of the woman before him, Xu Chang’an would really believe the woman was Zhu Pingniang transformed.
He... actually put the teacher in a dilemma?
For what reason?
Just because... it’s his request?
His original thought was that if the teacher could agree, that would be best, if not, he would at most suffer a hit from the ruler.
He had considered too many possibilities, yet alone hadn’t thought Li Zhibai would hesitate.
Because his teacher always agreed or disagreed directly...
He had previously thought, who in the world could interfere with the teacher’s choice?
Now he knew.
Turns out it’s himself.
Never at any moment before did Xu Chang’an see more clearly... turns out, he holds such importance in Li Zhibai’s heart.
Even though it was for Yun Qian, still, a wave of guilt surged in his heart.
He is requesting, not threatening by leveraging the teacher’s affection.
Xu Chang’an softly said: "Teacher, are you in a dilemma?"
"Dilemma?" Li Zhibai sensed Xu Chang’an’s discomfort, reached out to gently tap his forehead, her tone calm with a hint of reproach: "Who do you think it’s for?"
If not for the worry about possibly dampening Xu Chang’an’s hard-earned information, she’d have used the ruler on Xu Chang’an’s face long ago, would she be this gentle?
"Teacher, you’ve somewhat changed." Xu Chang’an said truthfully.
"Wishing for you to change, naturally I must also change." Li Zhibai said, waving her hand: "Tong Jun has changed, the Sect Leader has changed, it’s nothing major."
People do change, don’t they?
"Wishing for me... to change?" Xu Chang’an blinked.
Is there anything wrong with him?
There shouldn’t be.
However, these are teacher’s considerations, he need not inquire further, there’s more important matters now... for instance, whether Miss Yun can be the teacher’s disciple, or... not to rely on favor to put the liked person in a dilemma.
"Teacher, you haven’t considered taking a disciple, right?" Xu Chang’an asked.
This is quite possible, after all, at Muyu Peak, heritage is crucial, the difference in relation between master and teacher is like heaven and earth, and in these years, indeed, hadn’t heard the teacher mention having any disciple.
"I’ve thought about it." Li Zhibai looked at the young man in front of her.
The disciple she wished to take is just standing right in front of her, isn’t he?
