Chapter 442 - 0273 I See God (2-in-1)_2

Liu Qingluo was slightly taken aback, looking at the small figure in front of her, her lips curled up, her eyes gentle.

"...?"

Xu Chang’an watched Gu Qiancheng lower his head and begin to organize his words obviously, feeling strange but unsure of what to say.

However, he noticed Liu Qingluo’s expression and remembered some things about Beisang City.

Back then, when Liu Qingluo occasionally talked to him about the "sister" she needed to care for at Flower Moon Building, she had the same gentle expression.

It seems they got along well.

He was truly happy for this Miss Liu; after all, having Gu Qiancheng’s care is certainly a good thing.

However, Xu Chang’an also thought that one was Zhu Pingniang’s junior, and the other was the girl Zhu Pingniang raised as her "daughter," so it’s normal for them to have a good relationship.

"Um..." Gu Qiancheng had organized his words and seriously said: "I... I heard there are people from the Profound Sword Bureau following Ms. Yun and... you, they’re likely looking to make trouble for you, so I came over with Sister Liu."

She actually had many things she wanted to say, but only managed to voice these.

Looking at Xu Chang’an’s calm expression, Gu Qiancheng added: "We agreed before, if anything comes up, come to Tripod Heart Peak to find me. I also said I’d help you... In short, it’s not about you, it’s about Ms. Yun."

She was, of course, not worried about Xu Chang’an but about Yun Qian.

"I understand." Xu Chang’an looked at Gu Qiancheng’s flushed face; for a moment, he found it hard to associate her with the domineering, unruly figure from Beisang City.

But seeing Gu Qiancheng occasionally glance at Yun Qian, he knew what she was thinking.

In front of someone she likes, she can’t even speak clearly.

After all, she’s just a child.

——

After all, she’s just a little girl.

Liu Qingluo thought so too.

She felt that fortunately, Gu Qiancheng was still young; if she were older and still behaved like this in front of a man she liked, she would be really exposing her heart, and that wouldn’t do.

Beside him, Xu Chang’an listened to Gu Qiancheng say a few more things before understanding.

It turns out, the trouble with Sikong Jing was solved by her, or rather, by the senior sister at Tripod Heart Peak?

Sure enough, just like last time, there was friction between the senior sisters and those from the Profound Sword Bureau.

"Thanks." Xu Chang’an didn’t refuse Gu Qiancheng’s forcibly given kindness.

"Miss Gu, do you know what Senior Sikong wants with me?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"Sikong Jing? Who knows, I’m sick of him." Gu Qiancheng gritted her silver teeth, looked up at Yun Qian, but found Yun Qian completely uninterested in their topic, still staring at the scenery Xu Chang’an spoke of... so she could only continue talking to Yun Qian’s "proxy."

Gu Qiancheng carefully advised: "In short, Sikong Jing is not a good person, you should be careful, and... make sure Ms. Yun is careful too."

Gu Qiancheng still remembered the annoying way Sikong Jing looked at Liu Qingluo...

Liu Qingluo: "..."

Sikong Jing?

Previously, Gu Qiancheng had asked if she knew this person; at the time, she didn’t take it to heart... Now, hearing Gu Qiancheng’s meaning, it seems Sikong Jing was looking to trouble Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian?

She decided to remember this name.

——

"Really...?"

Xu Chang’an looked at Gu Qiancheng’s earnest face, feeling momentarily confused.

He trusted Gu Qiancheng, after all, whether it’s from Zhu Pingniang or from Mu Yu Peak’s perspective, she was completely an "insider."

Was Sikong Jing really looking to trouble him?

"Anyway, thanks, Miss Gu, for making this special trip." Xu Chang’an looked at her, considering next time... inviting her for a meal?

She should be happy about that.

Xu Chang’an still remembered the tasks given to him by the senior sisters.

"I told you not to call me Miss Gu." Gu Qiancheng also came to her senses; she had been quite shy but calmed down after chatting for a bit.

With her fair fingers pointing at Xu Chang’an, she earnestly said: "Call me Qian Cheng."

"...?" Xu Chang’an was stunned for a moment.

Qian Cheng?

This title... seemed a bit intimate.

He felt Gu Qiancheng probably didn’t like him that much.

Even Liu Qingluo cast a strange glance at Gu Qiancheng.

"Ah..." Gu Qiancheng saw Xu Chang’an hesitating and said: "Just call me like that... At worst, I won’t hold you responsible for killing my little tiger."

"...Sorry." Xu Chang’an chuckled bitterly and took out the Spirit Stone given by the Profound Sword Bureau earlier.

"Who wants your Spirit Stone?" Gu Qiancheng, feeling Liu Qingluo’s strange gaze, stomped her foot: "You, man, truly dawdling and not straightforward, if I ask you to call, then call."

Looking at the little girl who inexplicably threw a tantrum, Xu Chang’an felt helpless.

Clearly, he and Gu Qiancheng were not particularly familiar.

He indeed wasn’t good at dealing with little girls, so he simply said: "Qian Cheng?"

"Hmm." Gu Qiancheng responded with satisfaction, then sneakily glanced at Yun Qian.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Chang’an address her intimately, the previously absent-minded Yun Qian glanced at her.

Gu Qiancheng immediately laughed.

She was indeed a clever person.

Ms. Yun only had eyes for this man; if she wanted her attention, she had to find a way via this man...

And in practice, it worked quite well.

Thinking about it, Xu Chang’an calling her Qian Cheng meant surely Ms. Yun would call her the same, compared to the latter, a mere intimate address was bearable for her.

"Xu... Chang’an, right." Gu Qiancheng stepped closer, unafraid, tugging at his sleeve, saying pleadingly: "Young Master Xu, can you call me once more?"

Xu Chang’an: "???"

At that moment, Gu Qiancheng resembled Li Hua after a satisfying meal, flipping over its belly waiting to be stroked, her bright eyes shining.

What happened?

Is this... acting spoiled?

If she had eaten his cooking as usual, that would be one thing, but what was she up to suddenly?

Liu Qingluo watched closely, guessing Gu Qiancheng’s thoughts.

She turned her head, the gemstone on her earrings gently shaking.

This... is indeed a bold, daring little girl.

Xu Chang’an realized the senior sisters had told him to be more patient with such a clingy child...

He was completely unsure what was in her head.

Initially, she was so shy she couldn’t speak, yet now she changed immediately?

Is this how kids are?

If he and Yun Qian have a daughter in the future, will she have this temperament too?

Seeing Xu Chang’an dazed, Gu Qiancheng in Yun Qian’s blind spot lightly kicked Xu Chang’an’s calf, dissatisfied: "I came specially to help, what’s wrong with calling me Qian Cheng."

In her heart, she thought, although she hadn’t helped, Senior Su was from Tripod Heart Peak, indirectly meaning she’d helped too.

"Qian Cheng." Xu Chang’an could only comply with her wish.

However, his gaze increasingly mirrored looking at a daughter.

"Ah..." Gu Qiancheng’s spine tingled, her hair stood on end, waving her hand at Xu Chang’an: "Don’t look at me like that, it’s gross."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Beside, Liu Qingluo, initially feeling complex, covered her face and smiled seeing them, but felt it was enough and said: "Sister, we should go back."

They agreed not to delay Young Master Xu’s business.

"Eh? I haven’t spoken to Ms. Yun yet," Gu Qiancheng reflexively said, immediately catching Xu Chang’an’s gaze.

Oops, why did she let that slip?

"I see." Xu Chang’an smiled, almost forgetting this little girl openly confessed to him that she instantly fell for Yun Qian.

"Laugh at what."

Gu Qiancheng thought she came all this way, and yet... Ms. Yun hadn’t directly looked at her, the only time being when he called her Qian Cheng.

Indeed, she had forgotten her.

Gu Qiancheng pouted, suddenly feeling very wronged, waving her hand: "Laugh if you want, Sister Liu... let’s go."

Just as Gu Qiancheng was about to leave, Xu Chang’an’s voice came through.

"Miss Gu seems to have something to say to you."

"Say what?" Yun Qian heard, looking at Gu Qiancheng.

"..."

Meeting the gaze of the person she liked, Gu Qiancheng thought Xu Chang’an looked quite handsome, very likable.
