Chapter 406: Things Touched By Trash Are Dirty to Me

They both realized it clearly in their minds.

This woman is incredibly powerful, and they can’t defeat her!

Didn’t Junior Sister Lingxue say five years ago that she was just a powerless waste?

What kind of encounter could have turned her into such a formidable force?

They couldn’t help but regret the false information that Gu Lingxue had passed on to them.

If they had known that Gu Qingluan’s strength was unfathomable, they wouldn’t have acted so impulsively.

Seeing Gu Qingluan’s current demeanor, if they didn’t apologize, they might not be able to leave unscathed.

After a fierce internal struggle, the two martial brothers finally lowered their noble heads.

“Sorry, we were wrong!”

“Not to me, but to this gentleman here, his friend, and the owner of the tea stall,” Gu Qingluan said with a smiling gaze that sparkled like scattered starlight.

But at this moment, neither of them had the heart to appreciate her beauty.

Their expressions stiffened, and then they reluctantly apologized to the three individuals.

Shen Fule stepped out from behind Gu Qingluan’s back and, with a smirk on his face, said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly; it was too soft!”

The two men glared at him with a cold and fierce look.

Shen Fule was taken aback but then realized that he had Gu Qingluan’s support. His courage immediately swelled like a bull, and he continued, “How dare you glare at me? Do you not want to apologize or not?”

He then turned and complained to Gu Qingluan.

The two men seethed with anger.

This chubby guy!

He was clearly abusing his power!

Gu Qingluan’s cool gaze swept over them. “Do you want to forfeit your eyeballs?”

Their hearts skipped a beat.

For years, Gu Lingxue had instilled a belief in them that Gu Qingluan was wicked. Today, they had experienced it firsthand, and they had no doubt that Gu Qingluan was capable of gouging out their eyes. They immediately retracted their hostile gazes, suppressed their resentment, and raised their voices to apologize to the three of them once again.

The tea stall owner and Shen Fule’s friend didn’t say much. Shen Fule extended his chubby hand and gestured to them. “Compensation.”

Yuan Jincai, his face dark with anger, pulled out a silver ingot and tossed it to him.

Shen Fule weighed the silver in his hand and sneered. “Is this all you can give to settle this matter?”

“You…” Xun Yixuan was so furious that he wanted to take action.

Yuan Jincai quickly grabbed him and said, “Forget it!”

They had embarrassed themselves enough; it was best to resolve this and leave as soon as possible.

Yuan Jincai took off his money pouch and threw it to Shen Fule.

Shen Fule opened it to take a look.

Oh my, it’s gold!

He smiled and presented the gold to Gu Qingluan. “Miss Gu, take a look at these. Are they enough? We apologize for wasting your precious time. Consider this compensation. If you feel it’s not sufficient, ask them to contribute more.”

Xun Yixuan, seeing Shen Fule’s words and actions, nearly lost his mind.

That chubby guy was actually using their money to win over Gu Qingluan!

Gu Qingluan was momentarily stunned, then chuckled. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Xun Yixuan and Yuan Jincai, who had grim expressions. She said calmly, “No need, things touched by trash are dirty to me.”

Trash?

Of course, Shen Fule didn’t think First Lady Gu was insulting him.

So, it must be those two stinky brats!

He nodded in agreement. “First Lady Gu is right. It was my oversight. You’re so noble; how could you touch such filthy stuff? In that case, let’s split this gold between the three of us, and I’ll compensate you separately.”

On the side, Xun Yixuan angrily shouted, “Gu Qingluan, don’t push it too far!” Daring to call them trash!

They were the pride of Qiankun Academy!

However, in their current sorry state, they couldn’t reveal their identities.

Otherwise, it would be a source of ridicule for Qiankun Academy.

They simply had no face to do so.

Gu Qingluan didn’t bother with Xun Yixuan’s futile outburst. She turned to Shen Fule and said, “No need for the trouble. If you don’t want the money, just give it to the beggars in the city.”

“No problem! Miss Gu is so kind and generous.. I’ll definitely give this gold to the neediest beggars!”
