Someone I like, huh?

Is it because I like her?

He had never been so captivated by any woman before.

At first, he thought he just wanted to make his son happy, that’s why he went to propose to her.

But if he felt nothing, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

Even when faced with danger, despite his old ailment flaring up, he instinctively shielded her from the hidden weapons.

Seeing him agree, Gu Qingluan touched her chin regretfully. “Well, forget it then.”

Feng Tianlan asked, “You can make other requests.”

Gu Qingluan, lacking enthusiasm, replied, “Let’s talk about that later. For now, you should stay here to recover; they won’t be able to find you.”

Seeing her about to leave, Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going?”

“To check on the man who came with you; he’s quite badly injured.”

Badly injured?

Does that mean she’ll have to undress to treat his wounds too?

Feng Tianlan’s expression changed instantly. “Just give him some medicine; no need to undress him.”

Gu Qingluan turned to look at him, amused. “You seem to be quite concerned about this. Is he as shy as you?”

Feng Tianlan’s expression stiffened slightly. “Just do as I say. My bodyguards can be stubborn; if anyone sees his body, they’ll kill them.”

“I thought your bodyguard was going to offer his body to me as a repayment for a moment. He’s not a woman; what a strange quirk,” Gu Qingluan muttered to herself, glancing at him with a hint of amusement. She urged him to rest and not overthink things before she left.

After she departed, Heaven Star looked at Feng Tianlan and then flew after her.

“Mistress, wait for me!”

Watching them disappear into the distance, Feng Tianlan spread his hand, cradling a dark stone in his palm.

The burly man, despite appearing much worse off than the masked man from earlier, wasn’t as severe of a case for Gu Qingluan.

His injuries were primarily internal, and with the spirit pills she administered, he would recover in less than three days.

After instructing Heaven Star to escort the burly man back to his master, Gu Qingluan went to find Su Meng.

The flow of time in the Stellar Space was ten times faster than outside.

Several hours passed, and Su Meng’s body had nearly fully recovered.

When Gu Qingluan approached, he respectfully bowed to her.

She gestured for him to rise and inquired about the situation.

Su Meng wanted to enter the Boundary Wall Space to search for a rare herb known as the Dragon Phoenix Vine.

It was said that this vine could only be found when the Boundary Wall Space had just opened. He needed it to save his sister.

Gu Qingluan asked, “Do you still have the key?”

Su Meng produced the key and showed it to her.

“There should be more than just this one key. If you go in, there’s a good chance they’ll figure out that you took the key.”

“I’m not afraid. As long as I can find the Dragon Phoenix Vine to save Yingying, I’m willing to face any danger.”

“Where is your sister now? Can you let me see her? Perhaps I can help her.”

Su Meng, who had formed a soul contract with her, was pleasantly surprised. “Is that possible?”

“What’s impossible about it?” Gu Qingluan smiled. “If 1 can heal your sister, you won’t have to venture into the Boundary Wall Space. Isn’t that better for both of us?”

“Thank you, Master!” Su Meng grinned, and his innocent expression was genuinely endearing.

Even with the mask, his eyes were pure, tempting others to reach out and touch.

Gu Qingluan sighed, understanding why so many people coveted and envied the spirits.

Beautiful things always drew admiration and jealousy; they were either treasured or destroyed.

Su Meng held his palms together, one on top of the other, creating a bright white light between them.

When the light faded, he cupped his hands in front of Gu Qingluan.. “Master, could you please take a look at my sister?”
