They hadn’t seen each other many times before, and even when they did, they didn’t communicate much.

A scene flashed through Gu Qingluan’s mind.

In her younger days, Gu Qingluan had gone to the mountains to pick herbs to earn money. She had almost been assaulted 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 Shijun blinked her eyes. “So, that girl was you!”

Gu Qingluan nodded.

The original owner of her body couldn’t cultivate and only knew a little martial arts. She couldn’t defend herself in such situations, and even now, Gu Qingluan could vaguely sense the despair she felt back then.

Although Tang Shijun only helped out because she couldn’t tolerate such things, for the original owner, it was a deeper gratitude than a lifesaving favor.

Tang Shijun touched her own cheek. “I didn’t expect you to remember until now. Let’s 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 Shijun 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 Shi Jiao glanced at Gu Qingluan disdainfully. “Isn’t she Gu Qingluan, the one who was expelled from the Gu family?”

“Second sister, please don’t say that…”

“I’m stating a fact. Can’t I even speak the truth?” Tang Shi Jiao interrupted Tang Shijun 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 didn’t believe it, but it turns out to be true. You must come back with me immediately, and don’t get involved with her anymore!”

After speaking, Tang Shi Jiao pulled her to leave.

“I’m not going! Second sister, please don’t interfere with my friendships. I…”

Tang Shi Jiao interrupted her again. “There are so many young ladies from prominent families in the capital. I wouldn’t care whom you casually befriend, but Gu Qingluan is an exception! Don’t you know about the grudge between her and the Gu family? Do you not understand the Gu family’s current status? It’s better for you to be friends with Gu Jinyue than with Gu Qingluan!”

“Second sister, please stop!” Tang Shijun loudly interrupted her, her gaze filled with anxiety as she looked at Gu Qingluan.

“Qingluan, my second sister has a quick temper. That’s 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 Shi Jiao tugged at Tang Shijun and led her away.

Tang Shijun worried that her second sister might say more hurtful words, so she could only leave with her. “Qingluan, I’ll go back first.”

Gu Qingluan nodded.

Soon, the two figures disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Qingluan didn’t pay much attention to Tang Shi Jiao’s attitude.

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 wouldn’t do such a thing.

She had helped Tang Shijun to repay a debt of gratitude. If it made the other person feel troubled, she wouldn’t force this friendship.

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 didn’t 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..”
