39 -39: The Protagonist’s Beautiful Master
“Lan Lan, a guest has arrived at home.” As soon as he entered the courtyard, Grandpa Yue bellowed into the house.
Upon hearing the voice, a beauty walked out of the house.
The beauty was slender and wore a green cheongsam, her hair done up in a bun secured by a pearl hairpin.
“Dad, weren’t you going down to the fields?
How did you end up bringing back a young girl?” The woman’s voice was warm and gentle, carrying an indescribable charm.
After speaking, the woman turned her gaze to Gu Zhiqi, looking her over for quite a while before adding, “What a beautiful girl.”

“The second daughter from the Gu Bo Household, here to buy medicinal herbs.” Grandpa Yue spoke leisurely while puffing on his pipe.
Yue Lan’s smile faded slightly upon hearing Grandpa Yue’s words, “Oh, it’s her.”
She then turned her attention back to Gu Zhiqi, “So you’re the one who bullied my Yue girl?”
Gu Zhiqi “…”
“I’m here to purchase medicinal herbs.” Gu Zhiqi raised her eyes lazily, her brows expressing a cool disinterest.
As Gu Zhiqi lifted her gaze, their eyes met, and Yue Lan momentarily lost herself in the girl’s profound and hazy eyes.
“Ah, such beautiful eyes,” Yue Lan suddenly exclaimed.
The voice was so gentle and soothing, even her exclamation sounded pleasant to the ear, not startling at all.
“Although born wicked, you do have a pair of beautiful eyes.” Yue Lan said as her smile returned, and she took a few steps closer to Gu Zhiqi, eyeing her from head to toe, “Being born this beautiful, you are not inferior to Yue girl.
Why bother doing bad things?”
Gu Zhiqi “…”
She too wanted to ask the original owner of this body.
Just as Gu Zhiqi was wondering whether Yue Lan might start a fight with her to avenge the female protagonist, a voice reached her ears.
“Lan Lan, Xiao Qi is here to buy medicinal herbs.” Grandpa Yue interjected.
“Oh, look at me, I forgot about the business at hand.” Yue Lan said as she cheerfully took Gu Zhiqi’s hand, leading her into the house.
“Technically, since you bullied my Yue girl, I shouldn’t sell you any medicinal herbs.”
“But, seeing how beautiful you are, I’ll sell them to you on the sly.”
Gu Zhiqi “…”
She is truly the female protagonist’s mentor.
Definitely a close mentor.
Yue Lan pulled Gu Zhiqi into the herbal shop, where the scent of medicinal herbs was strong.
Several large medicine cabinets lined the walls, labeled with various herb names.
Near the door, there stood a wooden cabinet with several ledger-like books on it.
“Come on, girl, tell me what herbs you need.” Yue Lan sat in front of the counter, holding a writing brush, flipping through the books while addressing Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi scanned the cabinets in the shop and started naming the herbs and their quantities.
Yue Lan listened while writing, but as she did so, the depth in her eyes grew.
After Gu Zhiqi finished naming the herbs, Yue Lan set down the brush and lifted her gaze with a gentle smile, “Girl, did you perhaps leave out a few herbs?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows and looked at Yue Lan with a laugh yet spoke no words, the laughter cool and faint.
Seeing this, Yue Lan clicked her tongue lightly but didn’t press further, instead, she picked up the list and began to gather the herbs.
After preparing the herbs, Yue Lan leaned slightly over the counter, resting on it and looking at Gu Zhiqi with a brimming smile, “Girl, are you really sure you don’t need the other herbs?”
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yue Lan, “Do you have them here?”
Then she glanced around the herbal shop again.
She had noticed earlier that the remaining herbs she needed were not there, which is why she hadn’t mentioned them.
“Just because they’re not for sale in the shop doesn’t mean I don’t have them stashed away,” Yue Lan said with a meaningful smile, looking at Gu Zhiqi, “So, do you want them?”
