Chapter 149: 0109 Yun Qian Won’t Have Obsessions (Two-in-One)

After the Dao Discussion Arena collapsed, Xu Chang’an planned to wait until the hour to go to Celestial Bright Peak to find Yun Qian, so he returned to his residence on Muyu Peak first.

He carefully tended to the Spirit Fruit in the courtyard, and sorted out the somewhat chaotic Spiritual Qi from the Beauty Fruit. Xu Chang’an looked up, squinting his eyes.

Although the previous Celestial Tribulation seemed to have passed, it actually affected many things.

Like the collapse of the Dao Discussion Arena.

Like the temporary closure of the Outer Sect Steward Hall on Muyu Peak.

This was just the level he could get in touch with; there must have been many things that happened beyond his reach.

But Xu Chang’an didn’t care about other matters; he was only thinking that according to his senior sister, the collapse of the Dao Discussion Arena was caused by unstable Spiritual Power due to the influence of the Celestial Tribulation. Then… wouldn’t this unstable Spiritual Power affect Miss Yun’s cultivation?

Xu Chang’an had personally experienced how difficult it was to absorb unstable Spiritual Power.

Moreover, this morning’s Celestial Tribulation took place on Celestial Bright Peak, so close to Yun Qian’s residence.

“…”

Fingers scraped against the tree bark, Xu Chang’an squinted his eyes slightly.

The Tribulation Thunder occurred on Celestial Bright Peak.

It’s said that the Sect Leader was undergoing the tribulation.

In that case, wasn’t the Sect Leader, who only existed in rumors, actually on Celestial Bright Peak at that time?

While Xu Chang’an was thinking, a small figure quietly lurked behind him and then launched a thunderous attack, pouncing towards his neck.

“Meow!”

“Retract your claws.”

With a cat’s yowl, Xu Chang’an reached back with one hand, cupped the soft belly of the Li Hua cat in his palm, and smoothly hugged it into his arms, then kept poking its head with his finger.

“You little thing, practicing treating me as a hunting target again, huh.” Xu Chang’an glared at it, thinking that if he turned his back on it for a while, it would pounce on him.

“Meow~”

After being caught by Xu Chang’an, Little Li Hua behaved much more docilely, licking his hand, appearing well-behaved.

“…You’ve really got it.” Xu Chang’an sighed lightly, petting Mao’Er’s head, and casually said, “Do you think… if the Sect Leader wasn’t just happening to be undergoing tribulation on Celestial Bright Peak, but actually residing there… then, would living on Celestial Bright Peak be better than Muyu Peak?”

If one could meet the rumored Sect Leader once, the opportunity gained would surely far surpass Yun Qian entering Muyu Peak.

“Meow?” Little Li Hua’s fluffy ears twitched, indicating complete incomprehension.

“Didn’t expect you to understand.” Xu Chang’an shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking, considering too far. Is the Sect Leader someone ordinary people can meet?

He should quickly get Yun Qian to Muyu Peak to secure the opportunity there, which is already sufficient for her.

Seeing Xu Chang’an’s scornful look, Little Li Hua gently bit his hand to express its dissatisfaction.

“Are you a child?” Xu Chang’an helplessly picked up Li Hua by the scruff of its neck, lifting it into the air.

“Meow.”

“Regardless of your age before being found, even over a year old, you Li Hua cats are hardly considered young.” Xu Chang’an said, carrying Li Hua into the house, placing it on the table, and unwrapping the bandage on its leg.

The once bloody wound from earlier in the morning had completely disappeared, leaving only some dried blood marks.

Seeing this, Xu Chang’an faintly breathed a sigh of relief, and much of the worry in his eyes dissipated.

He gathered water vapor in his hand, carefully washing away the scabs on its hind legs, meticulous and attentive in his actions.

“Alright then, this Qi Replenishing Pill wasn’t wasted on you; it worked quite fast.” Xu Chang’an said, “Next time, don’t go fishing again, understood?”

“Meow.”

“Xiaohua.”

“Meow.”

“Xiaohua.”

“…”

Seeing Xu Chang’an starting to call its name for no reason, Li Hua cat stopped responding, merely raising its paw to indicate its understanding.

“You really recognize this name, huh.” Xu Chang’an smiled.

He had given this little creature a whimsical name like “Xiaohua,” yet this little being with spiritual intelligence didn’t mind at all, whereas many senior sisters on Muyu Peak felt that he lacked any realm in naming.

Xu Chang’an believed a name was very important; a being must have a name, even a whimsical one like “Xiaohua.”

It’s a rule, a meaning of existence.

Names inscribe cultural beliefs and leave a trace of lineage. No matter how, they subtly influence one’s life, whether for good or bad.

So he abandoned his previous name and chose “Xu Chang’an” over “Gu Chang’an.”

A whiff of breeze came from outside the window, carrying the sunset, sweeping across the remaining water vapor on Xu Chang’an’s hand, sending a chill through his spirit.

Looking towards the direction of Celestial Bright Peak.

“Xiaohua, would you like a different name? This time I’ll take it seriously.” Xu Chang’an said.

Li Hua cat glanced at him and then very humanly shook its head.

Clearly, it liked this name just fine.

“Your requests aren’t high.” Xu Chang’an said helplessly.

Well, since it’s using the name he gave it, naturally it is his family.

Xu Chang’an is cautious, he rarely gets too close to others, but it is rare; this Li Hua cat has accompanied him since he ascended the mountain, and he genuinely cherishes it.

So knowing it fought with the red-tailed fish in the lake to bring him a congratulatory gift for breaking through to the Open Source Realm, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of disapproval and genuine heartache.
