Chapter 378: Grievance

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qi Tianyous lips twitched, and he waved his hand, saying, 1 can manage it myself, no need to trouble Miss Gu.

As he took the bowl from Liu Mengs hand, Gu Qingluan couldnt help but be puzzled.

She had offered it, so what difference did it make?

Just as she was about to return the bowl to Liu Meng, she suddenly felt a scorching gaze on her.

Turning her head, she saw Feng Tianlan wordlessly looking at her, his deep eyes seemingly filled with a hint of grievance.

Gu Qingluan:???

What was he feeling aggrieved about?

Liu Meng seemed to sense something and coughed lightly while covering his mouth. Miss, Ill go attend to my tasks first.

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Qi Tianyou also said, Ill check if theres anything 1 can a.s.sist with.

Gu Qingluan asked Feng Tianlan, Do you need it?

Feng Tianlan kept a stern face and replied, Do you think I need it?

Fine.

Gu Qingluan handed the bowl of medicine to him.

Feng Tianlans gaze s.h.i.+fted to the side, and he said, 1 dont want what others have left.

His tone carried a hint of coyness.

Gu Qingluan couldnt help but burst into laughter.

Are you trying to imitate Xiaonan? If you dont want it, just say so. Then, she halted a nearby soldier and inquired, Have you had your medical soup? Beside them, Feng Tianlans expression immediately grew as icy as a winter night.

The soldier, feeling favored, replied with grat.i.tude, No, I was just about to go drink it.

Perfect, here you go.

Thank you! Thank you, Miss Gu! The soldier received the bowl with both hands, his face filled with grat.i.tude.

The soldier, feeling the icy gaze directed at him, s.h.i.+vered and almost dropped the bowl in his hands. He hastily stammered his thanks to Gu Qingluan and quickly departed, not daring to linger.

It wasnt just him; Gu Qingluan could also feel a chill radiating from her surroundings.

She turned her head and met Feng Tianlans pitch-black narrowed eyes.

Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow and asked, But didnt you say you didnt want it?

Feng Tianlan gritted his teeth. You did it on purpose!

This woman Was she intentionally trying to annoy him?

Gu Qingluan couldnt help but curl her lips into a smile. On purpose? Youre overthinking it. 1 have other matters to attend to. Feel free to do as you please. Feng Tianlan really wanted to ignore her and just leave in a huff.

However, as he glanced at the continuously burning city towers, he pursed his lips and still followed behind her.

But this time, it wasnt as close as before; there was some distance between them.

He wanted to make her understand that he was now angry!

Gu Qingluan sensed the man not too far behind her, following at a distance, his resentful gaze almost materializing on her back.

She muttered softly to herself, Childis.h.!.+

Unbeknownst to her, a subtle smile had appeared on her own face.

While the brewing and consumption of the medicine were in full swing, Gu

Qingluan remained active. She established a substantial Wind Gathering Formation beneath the city tower, using the tower as its central point.

After some thought, she added an enhancing formation to the Wind Gathering Formation.

Once Gu Qingluan had arranged the formation, she went up to the city tower. Under the intense enemy attack, the Imperial Guards suffered heavy losses. Qi Tianyou, wearing armor, stood on the city tower and directed the defense. However, even with his presence, the morale of the Imperial Guards remained low.

Looking into the distance, the Dingbei Army seemed to stretch endlessly, their numbers beyond sight.

They took turns, with one group fighting and then the next, giving the Dingbei Army a significant advantage.

A commander rushed to Qi Tianyou, looking disheveled. Crown Prince, were running out of weapons, and we have too many wounded soldiers. We wont be able to hold off the Dingbei Army charging up much longer!

How much longer can we hold out? Qi Tianyou asked.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Qi Tianyou turned to Gu Qingluan with a questioning look.

Gu Qingluan nodded and said, Its enough!

Qi Tianyou turned to the commander and said, Hold on a little longer; there will be a turning point very soon..
