My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 56 - 050 The greatest thing in the world is none other than the sea (two-in-one)_2

Chapter 56: 050 The greatest thing in the world is none other than the sea (two-in-one)_2

The night of cultivation left him feeling refreshed.

Xu Chang’an performed an introspection and couldn’t help but be amazed.

The amount of Spiritual Power in his Elixir Field had noticeably increased... He finally understood what it felt like to experience daily progress in cultivation.

Because he was in such a good mood, Xu Chang’an found himself with time to greet the System.

"Good morning, System."

System: "..."

Receiving no response, Xu Chang’an wasn’t bothered, as the System didn’t always react to everything he said.

Tsk.

Xu Chang’an suddenly felt a bit unambitious, being shocked by his own talent with every cultivation session... but after being suppressed for a full year and a half, it was hard for his mind to shift away.

It must be Miss Yun’s lack of ambition affecting him.

Thinking of Yun Qian, Xu Chang’an curved his lips into a smile.

If there was anyone he wanted to share his current feelings with, it would be Yun Qian. Although he had just said he would meet her every three days, seeing her in his dreams made him miss her even more.

Just as he was thinking, Xu Chang’an suddenly saw something, and he immediately opened the door and stepped out, pausing in his steps.

In front of the fruit tree in the yard stood a woman in a pale skirt, staring blankly at the plum blossom he had cultivated.

Her body and hair were mostly wet, perhaps from the dew.

"...?"

An imaginary question mark popped above Xu Chang’an’s head.

Who could this be?

Having never seen the person, it was strange to find her in his place.

However, Xu Chang’an quickly noticed the embroidered mark on the woman’s shoulder, causing his eyes to widen.

Even though there were various positions in the Chaoyun Sect, only those with certain qualifications could have such embroidery on their clothes... he had only seen it once from afar on the White Jade Platform on the sect’s main peak.

The woman not only had embroidery but also a waist token from Muyu Peak.

The woman standing before him held a much higher position than he’d imagined, no less than a Guardian of Chaoyun Sect, which was the superior of his superior’s superior’s superior...

With such a senior’s cultivation undoubtedly being very high, why was she dazing in his courtyard, looking so disheveled as if she had fallen into a lake?

"..."

Xu Chang’an was unavoidably confused, but people from Muyu Peak are not typical, and so he shouldn’t look at them with conventional logic; perhaps their cultivation required staying wet.

What should he do now?

Since this senior wasn’t speaking, should he... wake her up?

Xu Chang’an thought for a moment and then coughed lightly.

"..."

The woman’s delicate eyebrow twitched, and she turned her head to look at Xu Chang’an, pausing slightly.

Is it already dawn?

Has the night already passed?

She spent the entire night analyzing the Water Attribute Spiritual Qi attracted by Xu Chang’an, but still hadn’t found anything unusual.

Her clothes were wet, but she didn’t mind; turning her body caused all the moisture to dissipate.

"Xu Neizhi." The woman said.

"Greetings, Senior." Xu Chang’an respectfully saluted her, averting his gaze politely to the left.

"Here, take this." The woman handed the Glazed Jade given by the Sect Leader to Xu Chang’an without hesitation.

Although Xu Chang’an was full of questions, he could not refuse since she was a senior among seniors.

Xu Chang’an looked at the luminescent object in his hand, crafted into a Jade Pendant. Its surface shimmered colorfully, mesmerizingly beautiful, with a cloud-like aura within, making it very appealing.

This is... jade?

"You have opened the source, this jade will stabilize the Spiritual Power environment around you during cultivation. Remember to carry it with you." Seeing Xu Chang’an’s confusion, she added, "Your talent is good; continue to work hard."

Her words were few, but Xu Chang’an quickly understood, showing surprise.

Does this mean... he caught the attention of Muyu Peak’s top officials? Is that why they gifted him a Magical Artifact?

Why?

Xu Chang’an suspected it was due to the changes brought by Jade Splendor Primordial Qi that drew the higher-ups’ attention.

He bowed in gratitude, and when he looked up again, he saw the woman turning to leave after bidding farewell.

"Such a thing..."

Watching as the woman disappeared, Xu Chang’an snapped back to reality.

Indeed, life was moving in a good direction.

Receiving benevolence from a senior with embroidery and a purpose-gifted Jade Pendant for cultivation assistance, was something Xu Chang’an had never imagined before.

Yet unexpectedly, he wasn’t as excited or delighted as he thought he would be, because he still needed to cultivate, and the other party merely expressed some attention towards him.

Still, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

Xu Chang’an closely examined the Glazed Jade Stone in his hands, lingering on the ever-changing cloud patterns within.

Chaoyun Sect.

☁️.

Anything related to clouds was undoubtedly something good.

Yes, and Yun Qian.

At this moment, Xu Chang’an realized one thing: he was always under someone’s "surveillance."

The moment he just opened the source, consumed Jade Splendor Primordial Qi, it was discovered.

Yet it couldn’t exactly be called surveillance since he was a disciple of Chaoyun Sect; receiving attention was natural.

Rather, as a disciple without a background and who hadn’t shown any talent, getting attention in itself indicated that Chaoyun Sect valued its disciples... or more accurately, that Zhu Pingniang discreetly assisted him.

...

"To maintain the stability of the surrounding Spiritual Power environment during cultivation... what does that mean?" Xu Chang’an pondered the woman’s words, looking puzzled.

Although unsure, he knew it was something valuable... After all, wearing it while cultivating a few times should reveal its effects.

Without hesitation, Xu Chang’an attached the Glazed Jade Stone to his waist.

Question.

Who is more trustworthy, the seniors of Chaoyun Sect or the System?

Undoubtedly, the seniors from Muyu Peak of Chaoyun Sect were more trustworthy, for all his current cultivation was thanks to the teachers in the Sword Hall and the opportunities Zhu Pingniang provided.

Without the Immortal Sect, he might find himself working a nine-to-five to support his wife in Beisang City, just as he initially feared.

Shaking his head.

He would even use things given mysteriously by the System, so how could he refuse genuine assistance from his sect’s seniors?

Although... that senior was a bit odd.

Xu Chang’an walked to the yard and looked at the tree he cultivated where the senior had previously dazed, but he didn’t know what she saw.

...

Putting aside distractions, Xu Chang’an organized the needed items for several girls from Muyu Peak into his Storage Pouch and then changed his clothes.

His boots clattered on the stone ground, kicking up some dust.

Heading out into the morning sun.

He had many things to do.

Today, he planned to see Senior Wen and then select the Open Source Realm cultivation technique, as it was best to switch techniques early to prepare for joining the Inner Sect.

However.

Halfway through his journey, Xu Chang’an changed direction toward the Teleportation Array.

He was heading to Celestial Bright Peak.

Though Yun Qian wasn’t the first to know he had successfully entered the Open Source Realm, Xu Chang’an hoped she would be the first person he visits after opening the source.

All these good things, he still wished to share with Miss Yun.

...

Xu Chang’an dressed in his formal attire walked on Muyu Peak, slightly frowning.

Today’s atmosphere felt a bit strange.

Many senior sisters were watching him, whispering amongst themselves. While such occurrences happened before, they were related to his work. But now, so many were looking at him with strange gazes, the last time it happened... was when he had just come up the mountain and wasn’t accepted by others.

Xu Chang’an scrutinized himself, noticing nothing unusual.

Then finally, a girl couldn’t hold back any longer and gently called out to Xu Chang’an, looking at his face and asking, "Junior Brother, have you... worn makeup?"

"?"

Makeup?

Even Miss Yun doesn’t wear makeup; as a man, why would he wear any?
