“I’m afraid that’s not good. Those unaware might think you still have feelings for Kang s.h.i.+!” Gao Zhuo suppressed his laughter and teased.

In the past, Ziluo, along with the Clan Leader of True Martial Race, had continuously warned Kang s.h.i.+. Gao Zhuo, having grown close to Kang s.h.i.+, now considered him a brother. Seeing Ziluo, he couldn’t resist venting some frustration.

While they allowed officials to set fire, commoners were off-limits. Ziluo could do as she pleased, yet she had numerous demands for Kang s.h.i.+.

Though others feared Ziluo’s status, some harbored thoughts against her.

Unfazed by the others, Ziluo directed her dissatisfaction at Gao Zhuo, pointing at him. “You’re from the Medicine Sect, right? Quite audacious!”

She then turned to the rest and asked, “What’s his name?”

“Gao Zhuo,” they responded, voices subdued but truthful. Though they disliked Ziluo, they understood her influential position as Kang Yan’s wife and potential future leader of the Anicca Clan.

Aware of their predicament, they cautiously avoided provoking her.

“Gao Zhuo from the Medicine Sect, right? You will pay the price,” Ziluo threatened with venom in her words.

Gao Zhuo remained indifferent, unafraid of the consequences.

Since he had asked, he was naturally unafraid.

Having antic.i.p.ated such situations since his a.s.sociation with Kang s.h.i.+, Gao Zhuo remained undisturbed as Ziluo departed after her harsh words.

The others cast guilty glances at Gao Zhuo. They all sought pills but were caught in an uncomfortable situation.

“Let’s go,” Gao Zhuo said, dismissing the incident. As he only regarded these people as customers for pills, he had no particular expectations.

Gao Zhuo left with his companions, leaving conversations to revolve around Ziluo.

In the room, Gu Chaoyan remained oblivious to the outside happenings, engrossed in a conversation with Little Junior Sister.

Having taken a pill earlier, Little Junior Sister’s cultivation had advanced to the ninth layer. Like others, she faced a bottleneck and sought a pill from Kang s.h.i.+.

Little Junior Sister offered a talisman left by her father to Kang s.h.i.+.

Unwilling to accept it, Kang s.h.i.+ insisted, “Little Junior Sister, keep it for yourself. Take the pills as well.”

“…”

“If you ever need pills in the future, just come directly. You don’t have to offer these items. Feel free to use the pills as you wish here, do you understand, Little Junior Sister?” Kang s.h.i.+ rea.s.sured.

Gu Chaoyan had intentionally excluded both her father and Little Junior Sister from the list of those needing to provide items as a gesture of grat.i.tude.

“Senior Brother Kang s.h.i.+, please accept it. If you refuse, I won’t come in the future. How can I take these without giving anything?” Little Junior Sister insisted, unwilling to compromise her principles.

Determined and principled, Little Junior Sister stuck to her beliefs.

Gu Chaoyan hoped that Little Junior Sister wouldn’t be overly polite. While she appreciated the gesture with the talisman, Gu Chaoyan wanted to emphasize that if Little Junior Sister accepted today, what about next time? She might not have anything to offer then.

“Little Junior Sister, don’t you consider me as one of your own? Back then…” Gu Chaoyan began, hinting at their shared past.
