Xu Chang'an was here introducing the Heaven-Reaching Mountain Peak to Yun Qian when he heard a little girl's coquettish voice from behind.

"You men shouldn't talk nonsense, tarnishing the Sect Leader's reputation, what is this about... If the Sect Leader were to act, would toppling a mountain be where it ends? You're underestimating people."

"This Heaven-Reaching Peak was just because the Elders used the Sect Leader's command token to set up a Spirit Gathering Array and didn't control the Spiritual Power left by her, which caused this unintentionally... It wasn't the Sect Leader who personally acted."

Hearing the crisp sound of a bell behind him, Xu Chang'an thought she finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

However...

So it was just a leak of Spiritual Power...

Sect Leader Chaoyun is indeed worthy of being an immortal among people.

"So that's how it is, thank you, miss, for clearing up the confusion."

Xu Chang'an turned around, holding Yun Qian's hand, and saw Gu Qiancheng in a black dress, her long hair cascading down.

At this moment, Gu Qiancheng was looking at him with big, bright eyes, reminding Xu Chang'an of the Li Hua in the Flower Moon Building.

And the person standing beside Gu Qiancheng caused Xu Chang'an's expression to change slightly.

Liu Qingluo.

So it's really her... Indeed, as Miss Yun said, she also received an Immortal Fate.

Liu Qingluo was in a long dress, quietly following behind Gu Qiancheng, stopping as she did, the ruby on her ear gently swaying.

Xu Chang'an was just about to speak when he saw Liu Qingluo bow with joy, "Qingluo greets Young Master Xu."

Liu Qingluo's delighted demeanor upon seeing an old friend was genuine, her emotions well-contained, with nothing inappropriate spilling over.

"Miss Liu also received an Immortal Fate, congratulations." Xu Chang'an said, "I heard from my wife earlier and thought of... finding a chance to congratulate the young lady."

"It's all thanks to Ms. Zhu." Liu Qingluo looked at Xu Chang'an and Yun Qian's interlocked fingers, then slightly stiffened her body after lifting her head.

Miss Yun has become even more beautiful.

Though wearing a veil, standing there a bit dazed, yet she was like a lotus, carrying a quiet yet breathtaking beauty.

Liu Qingluo instinctively shrank back a little, bowing, "Greetings to Ms. Yun."

Yun Qian blinked, suddenly feeling Xu Chang'an squeezing her hand a bit tighter, then nodded slightly to Liu Qingluo, as a way of acknowledging.

And that was it.

If she were alone, Yun Qian might have wanted to talk to Liu Qingluo, but now that Xu Chang'an was by her side, she would be quieter, giving this young girl more opportunities to face the "God."

The jealous Miss Yun, who wanted her husband to learn to be flirtatious, was exactly like this.

But she was destined not to have her wish fulfilled. Though Xu Chang'an and Liu Qingluo were acquaintances, they didn't interact much. Being from the same Beisang City was fate, but after a greeting... naturally, they moved on to the main issue.

Gu Qiancheng was the main issue.

Her little bell was too loud.

"Hey, I'm still here." Gu Qiancheng waved her hand slightly.

"Miss Gu, we meet again." Xu Chang'an lowered his head.

"Don't call me that." Gu Qiancheng mumbled, "Auntie, auntie... it doesn't sound good."

"Then how would the young lady like to be addressed?" Xu Chang'an said gently. He was now dutifully fulfilling the task given to him by his senior sisters—taking care of children.

Liu Qingluo, who was watching from the side, clearly saw that Xu Chang'an's attitude toward Gu Qiancheng was somewhat subtle.

"?"

Gu Qiancheng wasn't dumb. She could sense the look in Xu Chang'an's eyes, and after being stunned for a moment, she bit her lip slightly, "What did the senior sisters tell you?"

"I'm also a person from Mu Yu Peak." Xu Chang'an shrugged.

"I'm not a child anymore." Gu Qiancheng stared at him.

"Miss Gu, before I went up the mountain, Senior Zhu also told me some things about you." Xu Chang'an said.

"Aunt Tong is always like this." Gu Qiancheng pouted slightly, then secretly glanced at the quiet Yun Qian, desperately wanting to speak to her, but with Xu Chang'an, this "boss," in the way, she was anxious, grinding her embroidered shoes on the ground, yet not knowing what to say.

Earlier, it was she who was eager to talk to Yun Qian, but now that she'd approached, she didn't even have the courage to look directly at Yun Qian.

Unable to help it, watching even Liu Qingluo, Yun Qian's "friend," take a long time to get a response after greeting Yun Qian, Gu Qiancheng backed down... If she went up and Yun Qian really didn't recognize her, that would be embarrassing.

Besides...

Looking at Xu Chang'an's handsome face, Gu Qiancheng thought, "A smiling face does not get slapped."

It was clear that she was somewhat awkward and didn't know how to communicate with people.

Clearly, her issue was minor, yet when words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn't get them out and turned to Liu Qingluo for help.

"Alright." Liu Qingluo shook her head lightly, then explained to Xu Chang'an, "Young Master, just now, Gu knew you..."

Hearing Liu Qingluo start explaining, Gu Qiancheng subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

After Sister Liu's explanation, she would be able to speak with Ms. Yun under the guise of concern...

However.

When Gu Qiancheng raised her head and saw Liu Qingluo and Xu Chang'an having a calm conversation, an image of Liu Qingluo watching his back in a daze flashed in her mind.

Sister Liu... how would she feel now?

Clearly, she was the one insisting on coming over to talk, clearly, she knew that Sister Liu shouldn't be feeling well, yet...

Talking calmly with the person one secretly loves, could it be happiness?

She didn't know, but instinctively felt that perhaps it wouldn't be a joyful thing.

"No!" Gu Qiancheng suddenly leaped forward, blocking between Liu Qingluo and Xu Chang'an, interrupting Liu Qingluo's words, and seriously said, "I'll say it myself."
