Seeing Gu Qianluo's anxious expression, Zhuying suggested a plan, "If you're worried, why don't you go and see for yourself tonight?"
"Tonight?" Gu Qianlu asked in surprise, a hint of doubt creeping into her mind.
"Yes! I know how to use light-body skills. At midnight, I'll take you flying to the Gu family's place, how about that?"
Gu Qianlu's brow twitched slightly, a surge of emotion welling up within her. She nodded repeatedly, saying firmly, "Alright! Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Zhuying! Consider this repayment for Miss Gu saving my life!"
Gu Qianlu remained silent, cupped her hands in a respectful bow to Zhu Ying, and the two exchanged a smile before walking up the stairs together.
Before we even reached the side room, Qiao'er was already pacing back and forth in front of the door, greeting us as she approached.
"Senior Sister Qiao'er! You're back!"

"We were able to complete the mission successfully thanks to Senior Sister Qiao'er!"
When Qiao'er first saw the bounty hunter, her eyes sparkled like stars, and her lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"Wow! I'm going to become a rich woman! Hehe!"
"Haha! Senior Sister Qiao'er, doesn't half of this reward money have to be handed over to the sect?"
"Who said that! According to the sect's rules, sect disciples can keep all the reward money for their first mission."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo's eyes lit up with joy. "Is it true?"
Why would I lie to you?
"My two junior sisters, tomorrow is the Qixi Festival."
I've heard that the lantern festival in the capital is famous throughout the land. How about we return to the sect the day after tomorrow?
Upon hearing Qiao'er's words, Gu Qianluo and Zhuying exchanged a smile and nodded in tacit agreement.
"Yes, yes! Are you hungry? I just ordered wine and dishes for the manager of Zuixiang Pavilion."
"Or, I'll go and ask them to bring it up."
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister!"
