“He doesn’t look like Big Sister, but I heard that he has a good relationship with her.” Gu Qin’er said.

...

Gu Jinyue was deeply impressed by Gu Xiaonan, so she had someone draw a portrait of him with the intention to settle the score.

Gu Qin’er requested a copy of the portrait and handed it to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi took the portrait and looked down at it.

The child in the painting looked good, but there was not a single resemblance to Gu Qingluan.

What a pity. It would have been even better if it were the child from five years ago.

Wang Shi sighed inwardly and rubbed her eyes. “I’m feeling a bit tired. You may go back. ”

After Gu Qin’er saw Wang Shi take the portrait, she respectfully stood up and said, “Yes, Mother. Qin’er takes her leave.”

Once Gu Qin’er left, Wang Shi called her trusted aide over. “Investigate the whereabouts of this boy and find a way to capture him…”

Not long after Gu Qingluan left the Jun Residence, she sensed that someone was following her.

She smiled coldly and walked straight to a crowded place.

A man followed behind her at a discreet distance. Gu Qingluan walked into the Hundred Herb Hall.

“Master, why are you here?”

When the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter saw Gu Qingluan, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up to welcome her.

“You stay inside. Let’s cut to the chase,” Gu Qingluan said.

The shopkeeper became serious. “Please speak, I’m listening.”

“I’m being followed. I need your cooperation to stage a little act later…”

Not long after, a man walked into the Hundred Herb Hall, casually scanning the surroundings.

Seeing Gu Qingluan engaged in conversation with the shopkeeper, he walked to a nearby location, pretending to browse a shelf while keeping his ears open.

“Could you please expedite things, Mr. Wang? I’m in urgent need. If the

Zengxuan Pill isn’t available, it could seriously hinder my important matters! ”

The shopkeeper smiled and assured her, “Once the stock arrives, I’ll immediately notify you, Miss.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wang!” Gu Qingluan expressed her gratitude and placed a silver note on the table. “I’ll pay you in advance. Mr. Wang, please ensure the Zengxuan Pill isn’t sold to anyone else. It holds great importance to me!”

“This…” The shopkeeper hesitated.

“If you don’t accept it, I’ll just stay here and not leave, so you won’t sell the pill to someone else,” Gu Qingluan insisted.

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll take the money first. Once the

Zengxuan Pill arrives, I’ll notify you immediately.”

Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Thank you, shopkeeper! ‘

As if she had resolved a major issue, she left with light steps.

Once Gu Qingluan stepped outside of the Hundred Herb Hall, the smile in her eyes faded, replaced by a chilling sharpness that flashed momentarily. Before long, the man also emerged from the shop, glanced around, and hurriedly made his way towards the Jun Residence.

In the main courtyard.

Gu Zhicheng slapped his thigh. “I knew that girl’s cultivation progress was suspicious! Otherwise, how could she, a useless waste, become stronger than me in just five years!”

“Let’s go to the Hundred Herb Hall!’

The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, pondering which person might be causing trouble for his master when suddenly, a figure appeared before him. He looked up and saw the head of the Gu family!

“What brings the head of the Gu family here? I apologize for not extending a proper welcome,” the shopkeeper greeted with a smile.

If it weren’t for running a business, he wouldn’t have put on a pleasant face for this person who mistreated his master.

“Mr. Wang, I heard that my eldest daughter placed an order for some pills with you. I expect you to deliver them directly to me!” the head of the Gu family demanded.

The shopkeeper’s eyelid twitched. So, his master intended to deceive this head of the Gu family?

That was not surprising!

Excitement welled up inside him, but he maintained a hesitant expression.

“That might not be appropriate… After all, our customer is Miss Gu..”
