They hadnt seen each other many times before, and even when they did, they didnt communicate much.

A scene flashed through Gu Qingluans mind.

In her younger days, Gu Qingluan had gone to the mountains to pick herbs to earn money. She had almost been a.s.saulted by several men when a bright and stunning girl in a red dress suddenly appeared and drove the men away, saving her.

Ah, it seems like that did happen! Tang s.h.i.+jun blinked her eyes. So, that girl was you!

Gu Qingluan nodded.

The original owner of her body couldnt cultivate and only knew a little martial arts. She couldnt defend herself in such situations, and even now, Gu Qingluan could vaguely sense the despair she felt back then.

Although Tang s.h.i.+jun only helped out because she couldnt tolerate such things, for the original owner, it was a deeper grat.i.tude than a lifesaving favor.

..

Tang s.h.i.+jun touched her own cheek. I didnt expect you to remember until now. Lets leave that matter in the past. You have become so outstanding now that no one can bully you anymore.

As they were talking, a female voice sounded.

Third sister, why are you walking with her?

Tang s.h.i.+jun looked up.

A young woman wearing a lotus-green pleated skirt with flowing mist-like patterns on it approached with an unfriendly expression.

Second sister! Is there a problem?

Tang s.h.i.+ Jiao glanced at Gu Qingluan disdainfully. Isnt she Gu Qingluan, the one who was expelled from the Gu family?

Second sister, please dont say that

Im stating a fact. Cant I even speak the truth? Tang s.h.i.+ Jiao interrupted Tang s.h.i.+jun and pulled her closer.

Second sister, what are you doing?

1 just went to Nirvana Pavilion. I heard that you were getting involved with her, and I initially didnt believe it, but it turns out to be true. You must come back with me immediately, and dont get involved with her anymore!

After speaking, Tang s.h.i.+ Jiao pulled her to leave.

Im not going! Second sister, please dont interfere with my friends.h.i.+ps. I

Tang s.h.i.+ Jiao interrupted her again. There are so many young ladies from prominent families in the capital. I wouldnt care whom you casually befriend, but Gu Qingluan is an exception! Dont you know about the grudge between her and the Gu family? Do you not understand the Gu familys current status? Its better for you to be friends with Gu Jinyue than with Gu Qingluan!

Second sister, please stop! Tang s.h.i.+jun loudly interrupted her, her gaze filled with anxiety as she looked at Gu Qingluan.

Qingluan, my second sister has a quick temper. Thats not what she meant.

Gu Qingluan naturally understood what Miss Tang meant.

It was quite easy to understand.

She smiled nonchalantly. I understand. Since your sister is looking for you, you should go with her.

But I

Come with me! What more is there to say?

Tang s.h.i.+ Jiao tugged at Tang s.h.i.+jun and led her away.

Tang s.h.i.+jun worried that her second sister might say more hurtful words, so she could only leave with her. Qingluan, Ill go back first.

Gu Qingluan nodded.

Soon, the two figures disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Qingluan didnt pay much attention to Tang s.h.i.+ Jiaos att.i.tude.

She understood the reason behind her actions. After all, in the eyes of those who were unaware, the Gu family had risen to a higher level, and no prestigious family in Chengyuan Kingdom could afford to offend them.

The conflict between her and the Gu family was well-known, and making friends with her meant having a falling-out with the Gu family. At this crucial moment, anyone with some wit wouldnt do such a thing.

She had helped Tang s.h.i.+jun to repay a debt of grat.i.tude. If it made the other person feel troubled, she wouldnt force this friends.h.i.+p.

She should hurry and choose a pet for Xiaonan.

Gu Qingluan asked someone for directions and headed straight to the Spirit Pet Shop.

Spirit Pet Shops mostly sold first to second-tier spirit beasts that were cute and beautiful.

As soon as she entered, her eyes were greeted with a dazzling array of cages. Gu Qingluan felt overwhelmed and didnt know what to buy.

Miss, what type of spirit pet do you prefer? a female attendant approached and asked.

Gu Qingluan pondered for a moment. Bring out the smartest, most beautiful, and loyal spirit pet you have here for me to see..
