Chapter 704: Chapter 704: I Can Call You Sister if I Have To
Yue Lan raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Xiyue with great interest, "So, you’re planning on befriending her on your own initiative? Let me tell you, that girl has a cold nature, it’s not easy to..."
"You’re overthinking it, I just want to give her a thank-you gift." Gu Xiyue interrupted Yue Lan, and then, glancing sidelong at Yue Lan, spoke without much emotion, "After all, she is now my ’Little Master,’ isn’t she?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lan paused, and then couldn’t help but snort with laughter.
After laughing enough, Yue Lan stroked his chin and said, "I don’t know what kind of thank-you gift she’d like, but there is one thing that she would definitely appreciate."
Gu Xiyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of inquiry in her eyes as she looked at Yue Lan.
Yue Lan: "She likes money."
Gu Xiyue: ?
"Don’t doubt it, she really does like money," Yue Lan said. After pondering for a few seconds and stroking his chin, he continued, "Although you two aren’t related by blood, you could still be considered her sister, right?"
"Let me tell you, later on, give her a big red envelope, and getting her to call you ’sister’ wouldn’t be out of the question."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s eyes showed a flicker of emotion.
The thought of Gu Zhiqi calling her ’sister’ seemed rather nice.
As she thought about it, images began to form in her mind.
"Cough." Gu Xiyue coughed discreetly, but she made a mental note of Yue Lan’s words.

The Imperial Capital.
In the study of the Jin Family, Jin Cengran sat in front of the computer, having a video call with someone.
Jin Cengran’s eyes were downcast, his expression bore a trace of frailty, and he showed no obvious emotions, nor did he have any noticeable killing intent. He asked the person on the other end in a flat tone, "Has someone been tracking Ah Lv for a long time?"
"Yes," replied the person on the other end, who was Jin Cengran’s subordinate, the Ever Winning Army Commander Jin Hua.
Jin Cengran: "Have you identified who it is?"
There was a silence on the other side, before Jin Hua hesitantly said, "...It seems to be someone from the Yun Family."
"Someone from the Yun Family?" Jin Cengran repeated softly, then asked in an indifferent tone, "What are they after Ah Lv for?"
"The specifics haven’t been made clear yet. It looks like Yun Jhin is the one who sent them, and they don’t know about Miss Ah Lv’s identity, so..." Jin Hua didn’t finish her sentence but instead suggested, "Should we send a warning?"
"No need, just ensure Ah Lv’s safety." Jin Cengran said, eyes slightly lowered, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest of his wheelchair.
"My lord, this..." After hearing Jin Cengran’s decision, Jin Hua sounded somewhat troubled, "Miss Ah Lv, she moves in mysterious ways, we can’t keep track of her. We’ve already switched more than thirty people out, and not a single one has been able to follow her for more than twenty-four hours."
Because after twenty-four hours, they would invariably lose track of her.
Some, in fact, lost her trail after just ten minutes.
Jin Cengran was silent on hearing this.
"It’s really too difficult. Even Jin Xue has tried and only lasted twenty-four hours."
Jin Xue was a fourth-order peak ancient martial artist, the only person who had managed to follow Jin Cenglv for a whole twenty-four hours.
The rest, they were shaken off within ten minutes to a few hours.
"Before university, it was somewhat easier as she would appear within our sight voluntarily after handling private matters, but now... we can only find her at school." Jin Hua continued with a sense of difficulty.
After hearing this, Jin Cengran raised his hand to rub the center of his forehead, fell into a long silence, and then finally spoke, "Let it be, perhaps she is tired of it. Withdraw everyone."
"Ah? Withdraw everyone? But what if..."
"She has grown up and can protect herself now," Jin Cengran said with a slight lowering of his eyes and a hint of a smile on his lips, "It’s time to let go."
