Chapter 18 - Dear Sister! What a "Coincidence"!

Gu Qingyu froze and broke out into a profuse cold sweat, "Could it be that sh-she noticed me?"

Mo Bai grabbed her hands that were tightly holding onto his sleeves, "Calm down, she didn't recognize you."

Hearing Mo Bai saying so, she started to loosen up

For some reasons, Gu Qingyu always trusted in Mo Bai.

The woman talked to the owner of the pharmacy, then started to walk straight towards Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu wasn't afraid of her, but that she would tell the people back home. After all, the strength of the Gu Manor wasn't to be belittled, so it would be quite annoying if the other would recognize her.

"Young master." With a voice as gentle and soft as springwater, the woman slightly bowed in front of Gu Qingyu as a polite gesture.

Gu Qingyu maintained her composure, "May I ask what you need, my lady?" She couldn't lose in the opening momentum!

"I'm in an urgent need of Seven Colored Gra.s.s. Just now, Young master bought the last batch of Seven Colored Gra.s.s. I'm willing to compensate you with five times the original price, if Young master is willing to accept my offer?" The woman let out a smile.

Ah, she really could set up a play.

Gu Qingyu curled her lips, "Miss, do you think that money can buy everything?"

The woman was slightly stunned for a moment.

Gu Qingyu continued without giving her a chance to reply, "Money can buy herbs, but cannot buy lives. Everyone's life is valuable and unique, and should not be trampled on as one wishes, am I not right?"

Having said that, she just pulled Mo Bai away, leaving the woman alone in a daze.

"His voice, sounds so familiar……" Mumbled the woman to herself, "Who is he……"

Jia Qizhe turned around, and couldn't see Gu Qingyu or Mo Bai anywhere. He immediately went to find them.

So, at the entrance of the pharmacy, he spotted them walking out holding hands.

What's more, Gu Qingyu had an extremely relaxed smile on her face.

Jia Qizhe was very unhappy and asked, "What you doing?"

"We just met that girl who tried to kill me last time," Gu Qingyu frowned, she didn't even try to mask her loathing, "Thank goodness that Mo Bai bought the herbs, otherwise who knows what kind of bad thing she would do with them."

"I think you should change your name for now." Qi Jichen single-handedly supported his chin while rus.h.i.+ng here.

"Huh? Good idea, but what should I be called?" Gu Qingyu's eyes sparkled.

"Little Black?" Qi Jichen seemed to be in serious thoughts.

Jia Qizhe frowned, "What kind of name is that!"

Gu Qingyu lacked words to say and just nodded her head.

"In my opinion, we should call her 'Little White'!" Jia Qizhe followed up with another sentence.

"Puuah!!" Gu Qingyu couldn't hold in her laughter in anymore, "The quality of your naming abilities is higher than one another!"

"You flatter me." Jia Qizhe curled his lips, "If you're unsatisfied, why not think of one yourself."

"Mo Bai, what do you think?" Asked Gu Qingyu 'earnestly and wholeheartedly'.

"Mm……why don't you change your family name to 'Zhu'?" Mo Bai probed.

"Good, awesome." Gu Qingyu started to applaud by herself," What about the name?"

"Since 'Zhu' is a n.o.ble character, firm and unyielding, but also very common. Why about 'Zhu Fan'?" Mo Bai smiled.

Gu Qingyu nodded excitedly, "Yes! From now on, I'll be temporarily regarded as Zhu Fan!"

"Let's go, Zhu Fan." Said Jia Qizhe in a m.u.f.fled voice and walked ahead.

"Ey, ey!" Gu Qingyu hurriedly caught up, and smiled naughtily, "Brother Jia, wait for me~~~"

"Shut up!" And just like this, chitter-chattering and laughter followed as they progressed towards the palace.

"Um, how should we enter……" The ever neglected and ignored Little Qi finally spoke.

"I'll first go and survey the area, we'll infiltrate in the night." Jia Qizhe beautifully turned around, "Let's go and find an inn first."

"Ok……"

Gu Qingyu knitted her brows. Her feline intuitions and instincts told her that someone was trailing them! But also……the person……was very powerful.

Gu Qingyu ordered a couple of dishes when they arrived at the inn, "Come, let's eat! Only after eating will we get enough strength to move around!"

Well, this was the inevitable truth.

They sat down and proceeded with stuffing themselves.

After people had their fills of food and drinks, Jia Qizhe stood up and gracefully wiped his mouth, "I'll go first. You should rest and prepare for tonight."

"I'll come with you!" Gu Qingyu suddenly rose up.

"You?" Jia Qizhe raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah!" Gu Qingyu couldn't accept this and put her hands to her hips, like a hag on the streets, cursing, "What kind of att.i.tude is that? So despiteful? Heng! Don't forget that I am a……"

She suddenly stopped her mouth. What was she going to say? That I'm a cat demon? Qi Yichen and Mo Bai doesn't seem to know her true ident.i.ty yet, what if they start to treat her like a monster once they find out!

"You're a what?" Asked Jia Qizhe in an amusing tone. He already antic.i.p.ated that Gu Qingyu would say so, and he also knew what she was going to say.

Gu Qingyu frowned, she had an 'I am fully devoted into thinking how to pa.s.s this hurdle"-expression, "Umm……I'm the smart, kind, cheerful, cute, nimble, quick-witted and brave……Zhu Fan!"

"Mmhm, sure. Let's get going then." Jia Qizhe waved his hands, hinting for her to follow.

He actually……believed in this sort of explanation?

Aiyo~~ Gu Qingyu, you're just too smart!

"Baibai!" Gu Qingyu waved towards the others, "We'll be right back!"

"……" Qi Jichen was busy stuffing his mouth with one hand and waved with other, "Hurry up and leave, go~~!"

Hurry up and leave……

Should it be 'Hurry up and come back'……

Qi Yichen, you've let me down……

"Little Yu, hurry up and return safely." Little Qi smiled as she waved.

Mo Bai didn't say anything as he just smiled and pointed towards her small pocket.

A Hundred Whirling Leaf was placed inside……Yeah, he wanted her to play the Hundred Whirling Leaf whenever she encountered danger, then he would arrive to a.s.sist.

Sigh……Mo Bai and Little Qi are still the best.

Gu Qingyu returned their smiles and turned around……only to find that Jia Qizhe had disappeared already!

She immediately dashed out, using her exceptional speed, and quickly caught up to Jia Qizhe. She couldn't help but feel good about herself.

Seeing her being so cheerful, Jia Qizhe 'couldn't not bear to' but let out a breath, "Sigh, do you really believe you could catch up to me?"

"Eh? Didn't I?" Gu Qingyu's smiling expression faded away.

"If I didn't wait for you, how could you possible catch up? I mean, aren't you too slow? Even slower than you imagine." Said Jia Qizhe in a ridicule manner.
