Several people left the room, leaving Tang Shijun alone.
After a while, Tang Shijun also came out and closed the door behind her.
Patriarch Tang and his wife expressed their gratitude to Gu Qingluan.
Patriarch Tang opened his hand, and a faint glow appeared, revealing a bracelet in his palm.
“Miss Gu, thank you for saving my daughter. This is a small token of appreciation. 1 hope you accept it.”
Tang Shijun’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “Ah, it’s the Starry Bracelet!”
She quickly grabbed Gu Qingluan’s sleeve and shook it, urging her to accept it.
“This is my father’s masterpiece, a middle-grade sacred artifact! Have you seen the engravings on its surface? There are twenty-eight in total, corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations. Using these constellations, the Starry Bracelet can absorb stellar power at night, allowing its owner to enhance their cultivation. I’ve asked my father for it for a long time, but he never gave it to me!”
“Do you like it? Then it’s yours,” Gu Qingluan said, not as attracted to the Starry Bracelet due to her Stellar Space.
Tang Shijun vigorously shook her head. “You saved my older sister, and this is my father’s gift to you. How can I accept it? If my father gave this bracelet to someone else, I would definitely protest. But if it’s you, I fully support it.”
Everyone chuckled.
“You really don’t want it?” Gu Qingluan asked.
Tang Shijun shook her head firmly. “No, no.”
Gu Qingluan, seeing no hint of reluctance in her eyes, accepted it herself.
Patriarch Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the most valuable treasure he had on him and his prized creation.
If even the Starry Bracelet couldn’t move her, he didn’t know what kind of gift he should give as a token of gratitude.
Tang Shijun suddenly turned to Li Yuhang and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to prepare a generous gift for Qingluan? Why are you still standing here? You’re not trying to skip out on it, are you?”
Li Yuhang’s face stiffened for a moment, and a shadow passed through his eyes. He smiled and said, “Third Sister is must be joking. Miss Gu is our benefactor. How could 1 renege on my promise?”
He asked Gu Qingluan to wait and hurried away.
After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Yuhang returned, holding a box in his hands.
He handed the box to Gu Qingluan. “Miss Gu, our Li Family can’t compare to the Tangs. 1 hope you won’t be disappointed.”
Tang Shijun urged Gu Qingluan to open it and take a look.
Li Yuhang’s complexion didn’t look too good.
Gu Qingluan opened the box, revealing a stack of silver notes and two gold ingots.
“You have the nerve to call this a generous gift?” Tang Shijun rolled her eyes at him and mockingly criticized him without reservation.
Li Yuhang awkwardly smiled, his delicate face showing no signs of anger. “I apologize; my stipend as a Hanlin scholar isn’t high, and this is most of the family’s assets.”
Madam Tang tugged at Tang Shijun, reminding her not to be too sharp-tongued.
They were well aware of Li Yuhang’s family background.
Sarcastic remarks would only hurt their relationship.
Three years of cold treatment had been enough; there was no need to further belittle him.
Tang Shijun shrugged. “With such a meager gift, do you think it’s worthy of Qingluan’s lifesaving grace? Forget it, you’re hopeless.”
She acted as if she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him any longer, then turned to Gu Qingluan, saying, “Once my older sister wakes up, I’ll give you an additional token of gratitude.”
“No need,” Gu Qingluan replied. “Rescuing First Lady Tang wasn’t too difficult for me. A sacred-grade artifact as compensation is more than sufficient.”
Gu Qingluan continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
“I’ll see you off.”
Before leaving, Tang Shijun instructed the guards to secure the room and prevent anyone from approaching.
Although Patriarch Tang and his wife didn’t understand why Tang Shijun issued such orders, they didn’t object.
Tang Shijun escorted Gu Qingluan to the entrance.
“Qingluan, I’m truly grateful to you this time. Once i catch Li Yuhang red-handed, I’ll properly thank you.”
Gu Qingluan smiled, not placing much importance on the gratitude mentioned by Tang Shijun. “I’m glad I could help. Go back in, keep your temper in check, don’t act impulsively, or it might raise his suspicions.”
“Don’t worry, i guarantee the plan will proceed perfectly!”
The two exchanged a smile.
Gu Qingluan waved her hand and leisurely descended the steps.
By now, it was already dark outside.
There were only a few sporadic pedestrians on the streets.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered slightly.
She didn’t know if Yin Qing was nearby.
First, she used the Communication Jade Technique to contact Feng Tianlan..
