Gu Qiancheng wanted to protect Yun Qian.
Perhaps it wasn’t about Yun Qian’s safety, but rather for her own happiness.
But who doesn’t like win-win situations?
At this mont, Gu Qiancheng wasn’t aware of who she was supposedly protecting or shielding from trouble.
In this world, everyone wants to protect the "System", but only Xu Chang’an, the host, is always slacking off.
He watched Gu Qiancheng, who held the Little Bell, and felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
Then he figured it out.
Senior Wen.
The idea of Gu Qiancheng having Yun Qian wear a bell and stroll outdoors was just like Wen Li having him carry Sword Qi to the Hundred Herbs Garden... identical thinking.
Xu Chang’an’s expression turned odd.
Should it be said, no wonder girls raised on Muyu Peak think alike?
However, Xu Chang’an had long thought that expressing one’s stand didn’t necessarily have to be done that way.
For instance, going to the morning market together would also demonstrate a good relationship.
Alternatively, spreading word not to bother her would work too; there’s no need to have a girl wear a bell to go out.
Hmm...
Xu Chang’an could sowhat guess the bell’s true na, but he had nothing to say about Gu Qiancheng’s willful thinking.
As for why Senior Wen took such actions, Xu Chang’an believed he could understand.
Senior is busy and naturally has no ti to travel with him, so using Sword Qi was convenient.
Gu’Er and Senior Wen are naturally not to be compared.
It seems Xu Chang’an underestimated Gu Qiancheng; what he can think of, Gu Qiancheng naturally can as well.
Of course, she wanted to explore the Chaoyun Sect’s market with Yun Qian, and not only that, she wanted to show her sister around the many beautiful spots, to play, and even to go boating.
However, Gu Qiancheng temporarily lacked the courage to travel with Yun Qian... just thinking about it, she would cling to Yun Qian’s leg, blushing, unable to speak three sentences in an hour.
If such a timid appearance were seen by others, how could she ever mingle within the Chaoyun Sect?
As for making requests, Gu Qiancheng never believed in words; she thought action was truth, which was the source of her initial misunderstanding of Liu Qingluo — that liking soone ans pursuing them.
Moreover, she understood the importance of the Hehuan Bell, as long as Miss Yun complied... then for a long period, she’d bear the mark of Muyu Peak and Tripod Heart Peak.
After all, relationships so close that one would wear a Divine Artifact just to go out have never existed before.
The little girl was eager to let everyone know she had a sister she liked, though aware this was just her wishful thinking... yet even so, she wanted people to misunderstand her good relationship with Miss Yun.
It’s not vanity; just a bit of inner insecurity being stirred. After all, Miss Yun is ultimately a cold person; her indifferent deanor can only be tolerated by soone familiar like Xu Chang’an. anwhile, Gu Qiancheng was beginning to wonder if her sister disliked her.
"Ms. Yun."
Gu Qiancheng lowered her head, glancing at her toes, softly speaking to Yun Qian: "Sister... don’t you like these things?"
Yun Qian just looked at Xu Chang’an.
’Alright, I’ll handle it.’
Xu Chang’an nodded at Yun Qian, then cleared his throat and walked over: "Gu..."
Gu Qiancheng abruptly raised her head, her shy deanor towards Yun Qian vanished, and she stared intently at him.
She hadn’t heard her sister call her Qiancheng yet.
If she couldn’t overco Xu Chang’an, how could she talk about liking Miss Yun?
’...’
Xu Chang’an stiffened for a mont, helplessly saying: "Qiancheng."
"Mm, speak." Gu Qiancheng turned on tiptoe to face him.
Xu Chang’an as tactfully as possible requested her to pack up the treasures scattered on the ground, expressing that Yun Qian doesn’t need them at the mont.
"Does sister think so too?" Gu Qiancheng knew her good intentions were sowhat scary, but she was unwilling to give in: "At least this Celestial Robe Pavilion outfit..."
Seeing this, Xu Chang’an gestured for Yun Qian to say sothing quickly.
"Outfit?" Yun Qian tilted her head.
Finally hearing her speak up close, Gu Qiancheng felt a mix of happiness and disappointnt.
She’d been performing here for ages, yet Ms. Yun hadn’t said a word; Xu Chang’an made just a glance...
Indeed, if she wanted to get close to Ms. Yun, overcoming this man was necessary.
"Isn’t the outfit nice? Doesn’t sister like it? But this is already the best-looking style."
Yun Qian glanced at her skirt, "I prefer Piluo Residence’s clothing."
"Piluo Residence? What’s that?" Gu Qiancheng was puzzled, "Is there sothing better than Celestial Robe Pavilion’s Immortal Robe Tower?"
"Piluo Residence is Beisang City’s clothing shop." Liu Qingluo ca over and, seeing Gu Qiancheng’s bewildered look, bent down and patted her shoulder, whispering, "Sister, enough... stop here."
She lowered her voice, speaking into Gu Qiancheng’s ear: "It’s going too far."
She’s such a perceptive person; noticing Xu Chang’an struggling to deal with Gu Qiancheng, she stepped forward to help him.
Not just helping, when thinking from Yun Qian’s perspective, she certainly wouldn’t accept Gu Qiancheng’s gifts either. Not considering the trouble, just the fact that the girl’s mood changes daily — today she might like you, but who could know if she’ll like you tomorrow?
Gu Qiancheng wasn’t foolish, she knew this of course, yet she still wanted to make one last effort.
