When she got tired of shopping, Jiang Youning found a stall and ordered a bowl of wontons. While eating, she kept looking around.
Suddenly, a red figure appeared next to her, "Do you mind if I sit here?" With that, the girl in red had already sat down.
Seeing this, Jiang Youning nodded, it was just sharing a table, which is very common in this small stall.
The wontons here have thin skin and large fillings. You can pack some to take away when you leave, Jiang Youning thought while eating the wontons and ignored the girl in red's plan.
However, she noticed that the girl in red had been looking at it intentionally or unintentionally. She kept stirring the chaos in the bowl with her chopsticks, but she never took a bite.
Jiang Youning could feel that there was a trace of disdain in the eyes of the girl in red. She thought she had very little to hide, but Jiang Youning was very familiar with this look, so naturally she couldn't escape her eyes.
The girl is dressed in red, and her accessories are all very exquisite, showing off her extraordinary status.
Look at her again. Her disguised appearance is at best delicate, and she is dressed in plain clothes. She has such an appearance that you would never find her in a crowd.
Jiang Youning subconsciously felt that the girl in red had some plans for her, but what exactly was she planning?
Thinking of this, she decided to wait and see what happens. If the girl in red really has intentions for her, the initiative is in her hands. Of course, there is no best.
"Hello, my name is Gu Mengyi. You should also be here to attend the auction in a few days." The girl in red spoke first.
Jiang Youning glanced at Gu Mengyi and nodded gently, "My name is Ning You, excellent You."
Gu Mengyi smiled with curved eyebrows. Anyone who looked at her would think that she was a warm, cheerful girl who loved to laugh. If Jiang Youning hadn't noticed the clues before, she would have thought so too.
"Youyou, I just arrived in the Imperial City today, and there are still many places I'm not familiar with. Can you show me around?"
Jiang Youning originally thought that Ye Sisi was the most familiar person she had ever met, but she didn't expect that every mountain is higher.
But this also played into her heart. Rather than letting Gu Mengyi hide in the dark and not know when to bite her, it would be better to put the person under her nose and discover the purpose of her approach.
"Of course, but I only arrived yesterday and don't know many places." Jiang Youning said truthfully.
"It's okay, I just want to find someone to accompany me. You don't know, it's so boring to go shopping alone."
In this way, after eating Chaos, Jiang Youning and Gu Mengyi walked into the market again.
"Youyou, this hairpin is so beautiful and suits you so well. How about I buy it as a gift?"
Jiang Youning looked at the finely crafted hosta in Gu Mengyi's hand, shook her head slightly and said, "If you like it, buy it, but you don't have to give it to me, I don't like it."
No matter how fine the workmanship of this hairpin was, it was just an ordinary hairpin. She never liked having messy things stuck in her head.
Moreover, if someone gives you something, you must reciprocate it. The most taboo thing for cultivators is to owe karma.
Seeing Jiang Youning's refusal, Gu Mengyi's smile froze, but soon returned to normal, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, let's go to the next stall."
Next, every time he went to a stall, Gu Mengmengyi would choose to ask Jiang Youning, and the answer he got was always rejection.
Jiang Youning found that Gu Mengyi seemed to be very obsessed with giving her things.
Although many people had given her gifts before, it was all because those people wanted to ask her brother for something, but because they couldn't find anyone, they sent the things to her over and over again. But Gu Mengyi, they just came today Just the first meeting.
Instead of making random guesses here, it's better to ask directly.
After hearing Jiang Youning's question, Gu Mengyi gave a forced laugh and explained: "You did me a big favor today, so I just want to give you a gift you like."
Although this explanation was reluctant, it was reasonable, but Jiang Youning always felt that something was wrong.
"People who cultivate immortality don't talk about such nonsense, and what I'm helping you with is just trivial matters, so you don't need to take it to heart."
To be honest, Jiang Youning didn't really feel that she had helped. She just led Gu Meng around the city again and again. Even without her, anyone could help.
So, what does this Gu Mengyi want to do?
It was getting late, but the market was still crowded with people, but Jiang Youning had lost interest in shopping.
"It's getting late, let's say goodbye." Without waiting for anything else, Gu Mengyi turned around and walked into the crowd, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Gu Mengyi, who was left in the same place, was unwilling to take more steps.
"I didn't expect this person to be so difficult to deal with. Do you have to choose her?" Gu Mengyi frowned, as if she was talking to someone, but there was no one around her except the people coming and going.
"I can feel that that person is the most suitable candidate. As long as I succeed in seizing the body, I will be able to recover 80% of my strength. Then I will be able to help you take revenge."
A bewitching female voice sounded in Gu Mengyi's consciousness.
"But she still refuses to take my things, what can I do? You have already seen what happened before." Gu Mengyi said with a frown.
This time it was the woman's turn to be silent. This was indeed a problem, but she was unwilling to give up.
Although she couldn't see the person's details clearly, she finally came across a container that could hold her soul, and she didn't want to miss it.
"If it doesn't work this time, try a few more times. Think about your enemy. Don't you want to take revenge? Do you have to watch your enemy climb up to a high place and look down on you like an ant?"
Hearing the woman's bewitching voice again, Gu Mengyi said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Okay, I'll help you, but don't forget your promise."
At this time, Jiang Youning didn't know that someone was interested in her body and wanted to take it away.
After she left Gu Mengyi's sight, she turned around and turned into a hidden alley. Because there were so many people coming and going around, it was too dangerous to change her appearance, so she took out a certain curtain hat and put it on.
Returning to the stall selling hairpins again, Jiang Youning bought the hairpin that Gu Mengyi had chosen, but did not touch it directly.
The stall owner looked at Jiang Youning's leaving figure with a strange look on his face. This was probably the strangest customer he had ever encountered.
The jade box used to hold the hairpin is probably more valuable than the hairpin.
