Chapter 61: The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wi

The distance between the two people was so close that all her breath fell on his ears, and he could clearly feel his own ears burning.

"No." He denied, without looking at her.

Gu Jiao’s gaze never left him. His ears and cheeks were flushed, and his also slightly reddish slender neck under the black hair was full of youth and charm.

"I don't care, I heard it."

After saying that, Gu Jiao went out of the room contentedly.

Xiao Liulang glanced at her at that moment and found that she grew a bit taller. Although she was still as slim as before, she had gained some flesh where they were supposed to grow.

Where was he looking?

Xiao Liulang retracted his gaze in shame.

That night, Xiao Liulang had a fairly good sleep.

When he got up the next morning, he caught a glimpse of a little foot atop his chest.

With both arms and legs stretched out, Little Jing Kong was sleeping in an arrogant manner.

Xiao Liulang took his little foot away, and fell silent for a while. Then, he took out the sachet that Gu Jiao gave him, put it in the most conspicuous position on the pillow, and then went to light up the lamp and copy books.

As soon as Little Jing Kong woke up, he saw the sachet on the pillow. He rubbed his big eyes and wondered, "Hm? What is this?"

Xiao Liulang casually replied while copying books, "Sachet."

Little Jing Kong had never seen a sachet before; he looked at it over and over again, "Who made it? It's really beautiful!"

"Your big sister did it." Xiao Liulang replied.

"Is it for me?" Little Jing Kong grabbed the sachet, got up briskly, and jumped up and down excitedly on the bed.

Xiao Liulang looked at him without changing expressions and said, "You’re overthinking, it's for me."

"..." Little Jingkong suddenly stopped jumping.

Little Jing Kong didn't believe him, so he took the sachet and went to find Gu Jiao, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, for verification.

What else could Gu Jiao say? Of course, she admitted it.

Little Jing Kong felt very wronged.

He wasn’t an insatiable and greedy child, but the child’s nature made him question why his bad brother-in-law had one while he didn’t!

His wronged little appearance bought Gu Jiao once again.

Gu Jiao had never raised a child, so she didn't consider that this incident might affect him psychologically. The main reason was that she didn't know Xiao Liulang would be so childish that he would unexpectedly show off the sachet to Little Jing Kong...

Gu Jiao explained to Little Jing Kong the whole story of the sachet. Little Jing Kong was a very sensible child. When he learned the meaning of the sachet, he was no longer sad.

He valiantly returned to the room and returned the sachet generously to Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang narrowed his eyes at him, "You’re not angry?"

Little Jing Kong lifted his chin and gave him a pitying look, "I heard your grades are so poor! You actually have to be rewarded after getting first place in the exam for the first time! I’m always the first place in the temple every exam. I'm used to it, so I don't need a reward!"

Xiao Liulang：“…”

Today was another day when he wanted to throw the smelly little monk out. [T/N: Hahaha!]

After a while, Gu Xiaoshun came to the house for breakfast and met Little Jing Kong, a new member of the family.

Only then did Little Jing Kong realize that there were not only two men in the family; Gu Xiaoshun was yet another man in the family, he just didn’t live at the same house as them.

Compared with Xiao Liulang, who could always dig pits for Little Jing Kong, Gu Xiaoshun's fighting capacity wasn’t enough to arouse Little Jing Kong's vigilance. Thus, Little Jing Kong happily became a good brother with him!

After Xiao Liulang and Gu Xiaoshun went to the academy, Gu Jiao prepared to go to town.

After the elderly woman arrived here, her winter clothes were made by Xue Ningxiang. At that time, Xue Ningxiang wasn’t wrapped up with anything. However, after the beginning of spring, Xue Ningxiang became busy farming and had no time for needlework. Hence, Gu Jiao planned to go to town to buy some ready-made clothes for the elderly woman.

She also needed to buy clothes for Little Jing Kong. He was abandoned in the temple when he was half a year old, and never went down the mountain again. His bundle was full of little monks' clothes.

Hearing that Gu Jiao was going to town, Little Jing Kong’s eyes immediately glowed green. He asked, "Can I go? Can I go?"

If Gu Jiao were just buying clothes, she would certainly take him with her, but Gu Jiao had other things to do.

Gu Jiao rubbed his little bald head and said, "I'll take you there next time."

Gu Jiao could see that Little Jing Kong still wanted to go, but he didn't throw tantrums and obediently stayed at home.

This child was quite reassuring.

Gu Jiao headed to town with her back basket.

She wasn’t going to treat any patients or anything, she just had the habit of carrying her medicine chest with her. After all, the secret of the medicine chest was too big and she could only rest assured if she brought it with her. Furthermore, she might really need to use the medicines inside it for a while.

Gu Jiao went to the street full of gambling houses, brothels and martial arts arenas.

An hour later, Gu Jiao rubbed her right wrist and came out refreshed.

After sweating a lot, she took off her cotton-padded overcoat and wore only a thin little jacket.

"I haven't come for a few days, seems I’ve lost my touch a lot."

She sighed with emotion and turned around, intending to go to the shop in the east of the town to buy clothes for the elderly woman and Little Jing Kong. However, she had yet to take two steps when she noticed something was amiss.

Someone was following her!

Gu Jiao coolly hooked up the corner of her lips, not finding it surprising to be targeted by people.

All right, I haven't played enough. Let's train some more.

Gu Jiao stopped leisurely as she was about to get out of the alley.

The group that was chasing her also stopped at the same time, and looked at her warily.

Gu Jiao turned around slowly and looked at the people coldly, "The eight of you, just come at me together!"

The robust-looking man at the head of the group narrowed his eyes coldly and said, "What a big tone! Girl, do you know who we are?"

Gu Jiao looked at him willfully, "I don't care who you people are. If you want to fight, just fight. If not, then get lost."

The robust-looking man sneered, "Girl, Blackwater Alley is not a place where you should come. I’ll give you a chance to beg for mercy. As long as you cut off your right arm and promise not to disturb our business from now on, I will spare your life!"

Gu Jiao's patience wasn’t for these people. She had said everything and he still kept on chattering, which was really very annoying!

Gu Jiao quickly ran towards the other party, stepped on the wall and kicked the man's face with her foot. The robust-looking man didn’t even have time to react before his whole person was kicked away!

"Boss!"

The remaining people were all dumbfounded.

Gu Jiao wouldn’t give them a chance to react. She formed her hand like a knife, striking three people into fainting in an instant.

At this moment, only half of them left.

The remaining four people charged at Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao grabbed the first two men and slammed them on the latter two.

Four people vomited blood from having smashed into each other. They covered their chests, and simply doubted that this wasn’t real!

Gu Jiao clapped her hands to dust them off and turned to leave, but a shadow suddenly flashed over her head.

Another one?

And he was even using qinggong[1]?

This was thinking too highly of her!

Gu Jiao grabbed a random wooden pole from the ground, stepped up the wall in a few steps, and knocked down the black-clad man!

The black-clad man was struck dumb when he fell down.

Girl? Do you have a grudge against me?

Gu Jiao: "Oh, it's no use playing dumb."

Black-clad man: No, I really don't know you!

Gu Jiao smothered him with the wooden pole!

Black-clad man: "..."

After beating this one, Gu Jiao discovered that there was another one nearby, but the man was very vigilant. He immediately hid in the crowd at the moment when Gu Jiao noticed him.

"Quick! The assassin is there!"

The loud shout outside the alley was followed by several powerful guards rushing over.

They looked at the unconscious assassin, and then at the local ruffians who were lying all over the ground. They simply had no idea what had just happened. Could it be this assassin clashed with the local ruffians in town, and both sides suffered?

But this assassin was an expert, how could he be beaten by a mere few local ruffians?

"Girl, did you get hurt?" A guard asked Gu Jiao.

"No." Gu Jiao shook her head. She felt that the clothes of these guards were familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

While she was thinking, she saw a carriage stopped near the entrance of the alley.

The curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted by a pale jade-like hand, and a weak handsome young face was exposed.

Gu Jiao's eyes lit up. Little sickly beauty?
