“Here, take this.”

She handed a crystal orb to Wang Siying.

“What is this?”

“It’s a memory stone, recording the scene where Song Lun threatened Wang Wu and the others just now.”

Wang Siying infused her consciousness into it.

Viewing from a bystander’s perspective, she could clearly see how hideous Song Lun’s face was.

She regretted ever having any interest in someone like him.

“After you return, they’ll likely try to deceive your father, twisting the truth. Give him this memory stone, and he won’t be swayed by their lies.”

“Sister Gu, you’re so clever, you even prepared this in advance! You’re truly kind to me!” Wang Siying was moved to tears and hugged her tightly.

Gu Qingluan pushed her gently, smiling. “Alright, I haven’t finished talking.”

“Sure, go ahead, I’m all ears!”

“In the future, don’t apply makeup haphazardly on your face. You’re naturally beautiful, and excessive cosmetics will only hide your beauty.”

Although Wang Siying’s makeup was smudged from crying, even without tears, Gu Qingluan could imagine how horrifying her previous makeup was.

“No more makeup! 1 used to do it because I heard Song Lun liked it. Hmph! Now that I’ve seen his true face, I won’t make myself look like that ghastly again!”

“So, you do know it didn’t look good,” Gu Qingluan chuckled.

She had thought Wang Siying had an unconventional sense of aesthetics.

Wang Siying wrinkled her little nose. “Even though 1 made a mistake by falling for Song Lun, 1 haven’t lost my ability to differentiate beauty from ugliness! Someone like you, Sister Gu, is a true beauty. Even 1, as a girl, can’t help but be charmed.”

Such bold words!

Gu Qingluan tapped her forehead gently. “You talk too much.”

“I’m serious! I really want to bring Sister Gu home! Or how about coming back to the capital with me? Our family is well-off, and we can take care of you!”

As she thought about it, Wang Siying’s eyes lit up, eagerly looking at her.

Gu Qingluan shook her head. “1 have other matters to attend to. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll visit you.”

“Okay.”

Wang Siying drooped her shoulders in disappointment. “Then, Sister Gu, please finish your business quickly and come find me as soon as possible!”

“Sure.”

Gu Qingluan then gave her the rest of the Snowy Lotus Dew Cream and told her to use it twice a day. In just two weeks, her face would be as good as new.

“The Death Mountain Range is full of dangers. You shouldn’t linger any longer. I’ll have Fei Yi escort you to the edge of the Death Mountain Range. Return as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected incidents on the way.”

Wang Siying was deeply moved and hugged Gu Qingluan, sobbing uncontrollably.

Wang Wu and the others kept glancing at them, wondering what had happened to make their Second Lady cry so heartbreakingly.

They wanted to go over and check, but they hesitated out of respect for Gu Qingluan, so they could only watch with concern.

“Don’t cry. I’ll go to the Holy Heaven Dynasty before long, and whenever 1 have the chance, I’ll come to find you.”

“Please do it quickly! Just the thought of being separated from Sister Gu makes me feel so sad.” Wang Siying cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Upon hearing her words, Gu Qingluan felt a warm sensation in her heart. She couldn’t help but find it both amusing and endearing. They had only known each other for a short time, yet this girl seemed so attached.

“I promise. Alright, stop crying. If the cream gets washed away by tears, your wounds won’t heal.”

After comforting Wang Siying, Gu Qingluan called for Fei Yi to safely escort them out of the Death Mountain Range.

Then, she swiftly ventured deeper into the Death Mountain Range.

Subtle, vigilant gazes observed her from every angle.

Gu Qingluan remained unfazed.

As long as they didn’t attack her, she had no intention of initiating conflict.

After covering several hundred miles, the number of mystical beasts grew scarce. Suddenly, the view ahead opened up, and the dense forest gave way to a massive crater. It was evident that a great battle had occurred, leaving behind a ruinous landscape..
