“Master Gu, please wait!”
Gu Zhichengwas stopped in the middle of the street.
Upon seeing the person approaching, Gu Zhicheng raised an eyebrow. “Fifth Prince, why are you stopping me? If your matter is not urgent, we can discuss it another day. I have an important matter to attend to and must leave now.” “Is Master Gu going to find Gu Qingluan?”
Gu Zhicheng nodded. “That’s right!”
“Is it to teach her a lesson?”
“You seem to know quite well, Fifth Prince. So, do you want to stop me?”
In the past, when he was only at the Heavenly Realm stage, Gu Zhicheng would never have dared to speak in such a tone to the Fifth Prince.
Now that he had become a Revered One, his status had elevated, and even in front of the Fifth Prince, he had gained confidence.
Qitian Yu nodded. “However, Master Gu, please don’t be hasty. Allow me to say a few words.”
“If the Fifth Prince intends to intercede for that girl, then let it be forgotten! Today, I shall impart upon her a lesson that will etch in her memory for eternity. I will not allow her to grow arrogant and disregard her origins.”
“Master Gu, calm down. I know that you’re angry at Miss Qingluan. She has indeed made many mistakes this time, even causing some trouble for me.”
As he recalled the humiliation of kneeling before her that day, a dark glint flashed in Qitian Yu’s eyes.
“Then why are you stopping me?”
“It’s not convenient to talk here. Can Master Gu please come with me?”
Gu Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, then considering Qitian Yu’s position as a prince, he dismounted and followed him into the nearby house.
After a while, two figures rode past on their horses.
Soon, the two individuals returned on their horses and stopped in front of the house.
“That’s Master Gu’s horse. I told you that you were wrong. How could Master Gu lower his status to cause trouble for Gu Qingluan?” The woman on the black horse had a noble appearance and a cold voice. She was Tang Shijiao, the second young lady of the Tang family.
The woman in the red dress sitting on the white horse beside her was Tang Shijun, the third young lady. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, “Just now, I witnessed Master Gu’s visage filled with anger as he passed by. It appeared as though he intended to unleash havoc upon someone! Rumors have circulated that when Master Gu emerges from seclusion, Gu Jinyue will discipline Qingluan. Although Qingluan is formidable, Master Gu is a Revered One, so she’ll definitely suffer in his hands!”
“Why do you care about Gu Qingluan’s life and death? Let’s go!”
“Sister, how can you say that? Qingluan is my friend. She even gave me a big gift last time!”
“It’s just a set of jewelry. As a young lady of the Tang family, haven’t you seen all kinds of good things?” Tang Shijiao dismissed it.
“But that is a unique set from Nirvana Pavilion! Ever since Nirvana Pavilion introduced its membership system, the noble ladies of Tianjing have been rushing to join. The threshold for Nirvana Pavilion has greatly increased. Even if I were a special VIP, I wouldn’t be able to grab a set like what Gu Qingluan gave me. Sister, you usually don’t pay attention to dolling up, so you don’t know about these things.”
Tang Shijiao grew impatient with her talk. “All these are just for attention seekers! It’s only women like you who will spend money on these useless pieces of jewelry.”
Tang Shijun pouted. “You say that as if you’re not a woman. But Sister, you really don’t seem like a lady.”
Tang Shijiao glared at her, about to say something.
Suddenly, the gate beside them opened.
Both of them fell silent.
Gu Zhicheng recognized the two young ladies as members of the Tang family.
Tang Shijiao clasped her fists towards Gu Zhicheng. “We were passing by here and unexpectedly met Master Gu. Nice to meet you.”
Gu Zhicheng nodded. “Please convey my regards to your father when you return home.”
“We will definitely do so. Master Gu, we bid you farewell!”
Tang Shijiao exchanged a glance with Tang Shijun, and the two of them rode away on their horses.
After a while, Qitian Yu walked out from inside the gate.
Gu Zhicheng asked, “Does anyone know that you bought this property?”
Qitian Yu shook his head. “No one is aware. Master Gu, please rest assured.”
“That’s good.” Gu Zhicheng didn’t pay much attention to the two women. “I’ll go ahead according to the plan.”
“Very well!”
Gu Zhicheng mounted his horse and headed straight for the Jun Residence.
Qitian Yu turned and returned inside the gate.
After about the time it took an incense stick to burn, Gu Zhicheng appeared outside the Jun Residence.
The guards at the gate immediately tensed up, gripping their long spears and watching him warily.
Gu Zhicheng gazed at the familiar gate before him, then looked up at the plaque hanging high above. His chest surged with blood and excitement.
Today, he would finally be able to wash away his past shame!
