Beautiful Master “Lan Lan, a guest has arrived at home.” As soon as he entered the courtyard, Grandpa Yue bellowed into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the voice, a beauty walked out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty was slender and wore a green cheongsam, her hair done up in a bun secured by a pearl hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, weren’t you going down to the fields?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did you end up bringing back a young girl?” The woman’s voice was warm and gentle, carrying an indescribable charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the woman turned her gaze to Gu Zhiqi, looking her over for quite a while before adding, “What a beautiful girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The second daughter from the Gu Bo Household, here to buy medicinal herbs.” Grandpa Yue spoke leisurely while puffing on his pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Lan’s smile faded slightly upon hearing Grandpa Yue’s words, “Oh, it’s her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned her attention back to Gu Zhiqi, “So you’re the one who bullied my Yue girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhiqi “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here to purchase medicinal herbs.” Gu Zhiqi raised her eyes lazily, her brows expressing a cool disinterest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Zhiqi lifted her gaze, their eyes met, and Yue Lan momentarily lost herself in the girl’s profound and hazy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, such beautiful eyes,” Yue Lan suddenly exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was so gentle and soothing, even her exclamation sounded pleasant to the ear, not startling at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although born wicked, you do have a pair of beautiful eyes.” Yue Lan said as her smile returned, and she took a few steps closer to Gu Zhiqi, eyeing her from head to toe, “Being born this beautiful, you are not inferior to Yue girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother doing bad things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhiqi “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too wanted to ask the original owner of this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gu Zhiqi was wondering whether Yue Lan might start a fight with her to avenge the female protagonist, a voice reached her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lan Lan, Xiao Qi is here to buy medicinal herbs.” Grandpa Yue interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, look at me, I forgot about the business at hand.” Yue Lan said as she cheerfully took Gu Zhiqi’s hand, leading her into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Technically, since you bullied my Yue girl, I shouldn’t sell you any medicinal herbs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, seeing how beautiful you are, I’ll sell them to you on the sly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhiqi “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is truly the female protagonist’s mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely a close mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Lan pulled Gu Zhiqi into the herbal shop, where the scent of medicinal herbs was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several large medicine cabinets lined the walls, labeled with various herb names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the door, there stood a wooden cabinet with several ledger-like books on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, girl, tell me what herbs you need.” Yue Lan sat in front of the counter, holding a writing brush, flipping through the books while addressing Gu Zhiqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhiqi scanned the cabinets in the shop and started naming the herbs and their quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Lan listened while writing, but as she did so, the depth in her eyes grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gu Zhiqi finished naming the herbs, Yue Lan set down the brush and lifted her gaze with a gentle smile, “Girl, did you perhaps leave out a few herbs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows and looked at Yue Lan with a laugh yet spoke no words, the laughter cool and faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yue Lan clicked her tongue lightly but didn’t press further, instead, she picked up the list and began to gather the herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing the herbs, Yue Lan leaned slightly over the counter, resting on it and looking at Gu Zhiqi with a brimming smile, “Girl, are you really sure you don’t need the other herbs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yue Lan, “Do you have them here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she glanced around the herbal shop again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had noticed earlier that the remaining herbs she needed were not there, which is why she hadn’t mentioned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just because they’re not for sale in the shop doesn’t mean I don’t have them stashed away,” Yue Lan said with a meaningful smile, looking at Gu Zhiqi, “So, do you want them?”\u003C\u002Fp>",704,"2026-05-30T15:29:41.396Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","d43bb439db327dd7aca8702f1b53d62910f8fc7374c27c3b64bf4c56562bea9a","sensational-fake-noble-vs-real-genius-chapter-40","sensational-fake-noble-vs-real-genius-chapter-38",1836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsensational-fake-noble-vs-real-genius-cover.jpg"]
