Gu Qingluan thought this statement was spot on.

However, for the sake of the other person and the well-intentioned bystanders around, she definitely wouldn’t admit to it.

“No, not at all. With my abilities, which man could force me?”

The other person seemed to suddenly remember her capabilities and displayed an expression of enlightenment. “Oh, right, I almost forgot, the Guardian Princess is so formidable; who could ever pressure you? It seems I misunderstood.”

He breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with embarrassment.

The onlookers around them wore nearly identical expressions.

Gu Qingluan thought that the matter would be settled here, but what happened next almost made her lose her composure.

“Could it be, young sir, that you are the… confidant of the Guardian Princess?”

Gu Qingluan quickly glanced at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan stared at the person expressionlessly, as if saying, “Are you asking for trouble?”

“No, no!” Gu Qingluan denied hurriedly.

She felt that this person was daring and constantly provoking on the brink of death. Didn’t he realize that he had almost met his end twice already?

But the person continued, “Indeed, for a remarkable lady like the Guardian Princess, a man with such average looks is unworthy to be your confidant.”

Gu Qingluan could feel that Feng Tianlan was about to lose his temper. His hand that held hers couldn’t be retrieved, so she could only use her finger to gently poke his palm and transmit her voice, “Stay calm, stay calm. He’s just a bystander, unrelated to us. You are a noble member of the Feng Clan and the Royal Prince of the Holy Heaven Dynasty; there’s no need to stoop to his level.” The sensation of her finger brushing against his palm felt as light as a feather, faintly ticklish and tantalizing. Feng Tianlan’s anger was instantly pacified.

However, he still wore a cold expression as he fixed his gaze on the bystander as if he were looking at a dead man.

Gu Qingluan hurriedly explained, “It’s not what you’re thinking! I never intended to find a confidant.”

After saying this, she pulled Feng Tianlan away.

“Ah, so this man is…”

The voice of the bystander was left behind.

Gu Qingluan pulled Feng Tianlan into the crowd ahead, making sure that the person didn’t follow them, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Today was truly an unlucky day. Calming down a man was more tiring than getting into a fight.

Then, she caught sight of the man standing by her side and immediately became alert.

became alert.

“Um… don’t you have other things to attend to?”

“Are you trying to chase me away?”

His tone carried a hint of danger.

Alright, it’s better not to provoke him for now.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Gu Qingluan’s mouth. “No, what i meant is, if you’re not busy, would you like to come back to the Jun Residence with me? I’ve arranged a feast there, and I’d like you to stay and have dinner with us tonight.”

Feng Tianlan’s complexion cleared slightly, and he nodded with restraint. “Sure.”

Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. “Then, let’s go?”

Afraid that something might go wrong again, Gu Qingluan didn’t pay much attention to the fact that her hand was still held by Feng Tianlan. She walked briskly towards the Jun Residence.

The sooner they returned, the sooner she could shake off this man.

Feng Tianlan was unaware of her thoughts. When he saw that she didn’t bring up the matter of letting go of his hand again, the corner of his mouth curled imperceptibly.

The news of Gu Zhicheng’s cultivation being crippled quickly spread among the major powers.

Everyone was shocked and initially thought that it might be a mistake from their informants. They inquired repeatedly, only to confirm that the news was indeed true.

Initially, many suspected that Gu Hongkang might have gone mad to cripple his own son’s cultivation. After all, Gu Zhicheng was a Saint!

But it was evident that Gu Hongkang had not lost his sanity.

The old man was astute and had certainly weighed the pros and cons of his actions.

Those who knew the inside story had an elevated level of respect and awe for Gu Qingluan.

Previously, regardless of all her accomplishments and the storms she had caused, the prominent families in Tianjing City considered her to be talented and powerful. They labeled her as “impressive but approachable.”

However, Gu Zhicheng’s fate sent a clear message to them.

The labels affixed to Gu Qingluan shifted to “Cannot be provoked” and “best ally,” among others.

“Cannot be provoked” is the top priority; nobody should provoke Gu Qingluan.

Even Gu Zhicheng had his cultivation disabled. Provoking her would be courting death, wouldn’t it?

And “best ally” was a recognition of Gu Qingluan’s immense value.

A figure as formidable as her, if one could establish a friendship, their ancestors would turn in their graves with laughter.

At this moment, envy began to swell among many, and they couldn’t help but admire the Tang family.

Back when the Third lady of the Tang family had befriended Gu Qingluan, some had mocked the Tang family for not managing their daughter properly, allowing her to befriend Gu Qingluan at the cost of offending the Gu family.

Now, they regretted their words and wished they could turn back time to befriend Gu Qingluan along with the Third Lady of the Tang family.

Unfortunately, there was no remedy for regrets in life. Given the situation at that time and their lack of fortune compared to the Tang family, they seized the chance to befriend her before she departed Tianjing and strived to forge a strong connection with her.

Opportunities favor the prepared.

It was better to be late than to do nothing.

Those with younger generations in their families received advice from their elders to interact with Gu Qingluan when the chance arose, striving to become her friends.

As a result, invitations to the Jun Residence poured in like a flurry of snowflakes..
