Extra Chapter: Gu Pei and Qing Shuling

Gu Pei also thought Feng Jue deserved a beating, but he knew his martial strength was too weak for that. He glanced around, hoping to connect with others, but found himself shut out of the "group chat."

Qin Shuling rested her chin on her hand, swirling her red wine with a playful smile. She found Brother Gu Pei and his friends genuinely amusing.

"Brother Gu Pei, would you like some?" she asked, her smile sweet like that of a friendly neighbor.

Gu Pei took her wine glass. "You can't drink underage."

He then turned to Qin Xian. "Aren't you going to look out for Sister Lingling?"

Qin Xian shot back, "Why the heck would I dare to interfere?!"

Qin Shuling let Gu Pei take the wine glass from her without protest. She blinked playfully and smiled. "Brother Gu Pei, I'm an adult now."

Leaning in closer to his ear, her voice softened amidst the laughter, carrying a hint of youthful mischief. "We could date now. Want to give it a try with me?"
