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

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

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

nWang Shi took the portrait and looked down at it.

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

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

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

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

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

nNot long after Gu Qingluan left the Jun Residence, she sensed that someone was following her.

nShe smiled coldly and walked straight to a crowded place.

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

n“Master, why are you here?”

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

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

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

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

nNot long after, a man walked into the Hundred Herb Hall, casually scanning the surroundings.

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

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

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

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

n“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!”

n“This…” The shopkeeper hesitated.

n“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.

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

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

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

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

nOnce 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.

nIn the main courtyard.

nGu 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!”

n“Let’s go to the Hundred Herb Hall!’

nThe 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!

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

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

n“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.

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

nThat was not surprising!

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

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