Watching the Young Master leave, the Gu Family disciples couldn't help but stop Gu Qianjun.
In a hushed voice, one asked, "Brother Qianjun, why did the Young Master go out and bring a little girl back?"
"Picked her up," Gu Qianjun answered casually.
"Picked her up?"
"What kind of joke is that? We've been in Duanbei City for years and never heard of anyone picking up little girls outside the city!"
"If you don't want to tell us, just say so. Why lie to us?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
A group of Gu Family disciples immediately waved their hands dismissively, implying that Brother Qianjun, now following the Young Master, was no longer being honest with them.
"Fine, she's the Young Master's child bride."
Gu Qianjun rubbed his forehead and retorted in frustration.
"Ah, that explains it!"
"Oh, now I get it!"
"See? I knew it wasn't just picking up a random girl. So, she's the Young Master's child bride!"
The crowd suddenly wore expressions of enlightenment.
