"Liu Xiyao..." Gu Qici's mind went blank when he saw the girl.

Even if it was just a glimpse of her back, Gu Qici couldn't possibly mistake her for someone else.

And it was at this time.

Gu Qici's arrival also attracted a great deal of attention.

Gu Qici wore an elegant black dress, yet beneath that serene color lay an undeniable, perfect figure. Her face was stunningly beautiful, but her aloof and unapproachable aura added to her mysterious beauty.

Her presence was like an opposition to Liu Xiyao, and she immediately attracted countless eyes.

Liu Xiyao had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold and disdainful as she looked at the infatuated gazes of those people.

Suddenly noticing that those people had shifted their gaze, Liu Xiyao seemed to realize something and looked behind her.

So, that one instant of eye contact left Liu Xiyao frozen in place.

For Liu Xiyao, Gu Qici's appearance was like a bolt from the blue.

"Oh no!" "Why is she (this guy) here!" Almost simultaneously, these thoughts flashed through both of their minds, because they were both quite certain that the other had seen them. At this point, it was impossible to leave. On the contrary, if they tried to run away, they might sense something was amiss and the other would chase after them.

Liu Xiyao and Gu Qici stood at a distance, silently gazing at each other. Both of them were in turmoil, but they tried their best to remain calm, not letting themselves reveal any flaws in this eye contact.

"Could this guy (she) have followed the trail left behind by his senior brother (who was busy with sect affairs) while he was away on sect business?"

"However... she probably didn't find out what happened before, otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely have come to question (or cause trouble) directly."

The two of them had this thought in mind, and at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with this prior arrangement, as long as the previous "date" (eating alone) with the senior brother (meal ticket) wasn't discovered, there was still a chance to salvage the situation. Moreover, neither of them wanted the other to ruin the beautiful things that followed.

"So, what should we do now?" x2

In the thick, viscous atmosphere, the two were thinking rapidly, and it seemed as if everything around them had come to a brief standstill.

They both knew that if their plans were discovered by the other party, it would be very difficult to carry out such plans again in the future.

However, now that they've been seen, it's unlikely they can fool the other party.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but grind their teeth in resentment. Damn it, why is it that every time we get to such a crucial moment, something unexpected always happens?

The two girls are most grateful that Huang Quan is not around, giving them time to take action.

So both girls had the same thought in their minds: they absolutely couldn't let her (this guy) find out about their senior brother (meal ticket)!

However, as if fate were playing a cruel trick on them, just as the two of them had this thought and simultaneously pressed the communication stone that could connect them to the underworld, a handsome young man with a refined and otherworldly temperament slowly walked out from a teahouse on the side.

Upon seeing Huang Quan appear, Liu Xiyao and Gu Qici both subconsciously looked at the boy and noticed his gaze. Immediately afterward, their hearts sank to the bottom.

Oh no. Today's date (eating alone) is probably going to fail.

Just as Liu Xiyao and Gu Qici's heads were burning hot and about to explode.

Huang Quan was also extremely nervous.

"??? What the hell..."

However... the boy remained calm and walked towards him.

He tried his best to hide his gaze, but out of the corner of his eye, he still looked at the two girls with a faint expectation.

This wave, this wave, is a fight to the death to survive.

The key to their success lies... in themselves.

Don't give up! Both of you, your happiness today is entirely in your own hands...

"Why did Senior Brother (Meal Ticket) come at a time like this?!" Upon seeing Huang Quan, Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao's eyes widened, and their hearts trembled violently. Their original plan, which had just taken shape, was declared a complete failure.

"If our senior (meal ticket) notices her (this guy) first, there will definitely be problems! Someone as dense as our senior (meal ticket) has no idea how to cover up the lie at this time, so the previous date will be exposed!!" Both of them were a little on the verge of collapse.

I was just thinking it was lucky that Huang Quan hadn't appeared, but then the worst happened.

Although the situation was sudden, both of them knew that the next few words they spoke would be the key to the entire battle.

A second or two felt like an eternity to them. After the initial panic, Liu Xiyao had entered a phase of rational thinking. As for Gu Qici, she too had undergone countless trials and remained calm in the face of danger.

The two girls' strong mental fortitude was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Moreover, this is a crucial battle for my senior brother (who was hoarding food), how could I possibly give up like this!

Even when faced with a "desperate situation," no one wanted to admit defeat.

"Meal ticket...?" But one of them had the upper hand. Before Gu Qici could speak, Liu Xiyao's face showed surprise as she looked at Huang Quan.

"How did you get here?" Liu Xiyao ran up and instantly threw herself into Huang Quan's arms. At the same time, the girl quickly sent a telepathic message to Huang Quan: "...Don't say anything! Your junior sister is here too! I'll deal with that guy."

Liu Xiyao was extremely serious, showing her reliable side.

When Huang Quan heard Liu Xiyao's words, he knew that his plan was basically in place.

The boy frowned slightly. Although it was a subtle movement, it was very obvious to Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao.

Is this Huang Quan's reaction somewhat surprising?

"As expected! I didn't expect to see that guy here either," Liu Xiyao thought to herself.

Gu Qici was also secretly annoyed. She had been beaten to it by Liu Xiyao. Especially after seeing Huang Quan's surprised expression, the girl blamed herself even more: "That girl Liu Xiyao, she suddenly jumped out, she must have startled my senior brother!"

"We can't let our senior brother deal with this situation alone." This thought flashed through Gu Qici's mind. She had also clearly heard what Liu Xiyao had said earlier, so she had a complete guess in her mind.

Clearly, this girl may have sensed something was wrong and followed him all the way here, hoping to find something to use against him so that Jiang Wanyu would reward her with a good meal.

As it happened, she saw her senior brother go to the photo studio. A brilliant idea flashed in her mind, and she immediately set a "trap" there to catch him.

Gu Qici thought to herself that if she encountered such a coincidence, she would never give up such a wonderful opportunity.

However, thinking of all this, the girl couldn't help but grit her teeth. That brat had ruined the opportunity she had finally arranged to have a date with her senior brother today.

Just as the girl was smiling and hugging Huang Quan, Gu Qici smiled, but his figure appeared from behind the girl as if in a flash, and pulled her out of Huang Quan's arms amidst Liu Xiyao's exclamation.

"You little brat..." Gu Qici ignored the girl's resentful gaze and said calmly, "Weren't you at Tongfu Inn? Can you tell me why you suddenly appeared here?" While speaking to Liu Xiyao, Gu Qici did not forget to send a telepathic message to Huang Quan, telling him not to worry and that she would take care of the situation.

The two girls, one big and one small, stared at each other, sparks flying between them. Neither of them noticed that Huang Quan, who witnessed this scene, looked on with satisfaction.

The young man gazed tenderly at his two reliable girls. Sure enough, these two girls were exceptionally considerate.

In this respect, Jiang Wanyu is far inferior. Of course, if Jiang Wanyu were to get involved, he might not make this decision.

Gu Qici's accusatory tone made it sound like I had ruined her date.

As for Liu Xiyao, she became increasingly dissatisfied upon hearing Gu Qici's words. What else could she be doing here? She must have come out to find something delicious to eat.

However, Liu Xiyao was filled with resentment, but still looked at Gu Qici with a smile on her face, and retorted sharply: "...When you asked this question, it seems that you did not consider how you ended up here."

As she spoke, Liu Xiyao stared at Gu Qici with resentment in her eyes.

Gu Qici appears cold and aloof on the outside, but her inner thoughts are anything but proper. She even went so far as to follow someone, even though it had been half an hour since she went to do sect business. Yet she still managed to find her by following the trail!

Of course I made the appointment well in advance. This shameless little girl came over and even dared to question me.

However, just like Liu Xiyao, Gu Qici had similar thoughts upon hearing this, and was even angrier inside.

However, in order to cover up what had happened before, Gu Qici forced herself to hold back and snorted coldly, "Didn't I say that I had to come out for the sect's procurement task? Isn't it normal for me to be here..."

"I happened to run into my senior brother who had just finished dealing with the sect's commission while I was shopping. Miss Gu, you're really lucky today." Gu Qici looked at Liu Xiyao's smiling face and wanted to pin the girl down and spank her, but thinking that her senior brother was still by her side, she certainly wouldn't show such a "violent" side. The girl also knew that Liu Xiyao dared to speak to her like this because she was under Huang Quan's protection.

So he continued with a smile, "Well, you little rascal, your luck in appearing here doesn't seem to be much worse than mine, does it?"

"And you little rascal, it seems you haven't answered my question from before. Back at Tongfu Inn, didn't someone say they didn't have time today and wouldn't go even if they took you out?"

"It seems that the little rascal has forgotten what he said." Gu Qici said in a low voice.

"Yes, I did say that, but I didn't bother the meal ticket, did I? Now that he's finished dealing with his business, I can't just sit around in the restaurant all by myself, so can't I just come out for a stroll?"

Liu Xiyao remained calm and, after speaking, took out another ticket and waved it around: "Besides, I've been wanting to see the theater at the photo studio for a long time, and I was just planning to go today. I didn't expect to run into a meal ticket like this."

"That little brat! She really planned this all along, she even bought the tickets." Gu Qici groaned when she saw the tickets Liu Xiyao took out, feeling quite disappointed.

In the end, I miscalculated; I didn't expect this little brat to follow me...

What should I do?

Chapter 116 Let's Watch 4K Together

"Oh, really? I didn't expect you little rascal to have such leisure time and buy tickets so early. If you don't get to see your senior brother, are you planning to go to the theater alone? I didn't expect you to do something so lonely. Actually, if you need to, you can have Jiang Wanyu go with you." Gu Qici said calmly.

Liu Xiyao couldn't help but take a step back, completely unexpected that this guy could still fight back like this at a time like this. However... soon, a smug look flashed in the girl's eyes. She definitely didn't expect that the ticket wasn't bought by her, but given to her by a meal ticket!

She wasn't lonely at all: "You talk as if you go there all the time, but the truth is, before today, your understanding of photo studios was just from what you'd heard from other people. Actually, over the years, you've never received an invitation to go to a photo studio with anyone, so you probably feel lonely."

Gu Qici remained expressionless, simply looking at the girl and saying, "What do you know?"

"Just because I haven't gone doesn't mean I haven't been invited."

"But if it's your first time visiting a place like this, you should definitely go with someone important to you."

As Gu Qici spoke, she glanced at the boy with a wistful look.

As the girl grew up, she became top-notch in the Heavenly Demon Sect in terms of both appearance and talent. In the early days, many male disciples wanted to get close to her, but Gu Qici was devoted to Huang Quan and would never be interested in others. In order to avoid those troubles, the girl simply learned from the boy and used a cold attitude as her protective shell, once and for all.

"Really?" Liu Xiyao pouted. "Then why did you suddenly decide to come to the photo studio for the first time today?"

"I remember you. I think you were going to do some shopping. I won't bother you then. You should be free this morning, so you'll probably agree to go to the theater with me."

As Liu Xiyao spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked pitifully at Huang Quan.

If it weren't for Huang Quan being the mastermind behind everything, we would almost have been fooled by Liu Xiyao's acting skills.

...Indeed, none of them are simple.

So, is it possible for one's IQ to increase unreasonably by eating so much?

Huang Quan thought to himself with some emotion.

However, at the same time, I'm also somewhat relieved. This way, I don't have to face an overly difficult situation.

If Liu Xiyao were to do something foolish right now, even he would have a headache.

"Indeed, nothing much happened this morning..." Huang Quan thought to himself, his expression equally calm as he pondered.

"If you're interested in photo studios, I can go with you. I've already finished the purchasing."

At this moment, Gu Qici coldly spoke up: "Besides, the theater you bought may not be something your senior brother will like. Do you want to force your senior brother to waste his time watching something he doesn't like?"

She never expected that this girl would once again beat her to the punch, and that the girl would shamelessly prepare the tickets first.
