If this were the modern world, and Jinghong had come from the ancient past to tell her his origin in such a way, would she believe him?

Without questioning, anything is possible in the realm of cultivation; she wouldn’t doubt it for a moment and would believe it outright.

But this isn’t the cultivation world, and Jinghong isn’t a person from the modern era…

Worried!

She looked up at the sky, and suddenly, the face of a beautiful woman with a goose-egg-shaped face came to mind.

This face belonged to a girl who had descended with her to experience emotional tribulations in another world. She wondered which world her friend was in now and how she was doing.

She then thought of the other girls who had descended with her. It seemed none of them had ever been in a romantic relationship.

It looks like being in love truly is a part of cultivation.

For instance, her good friend, who was utterly destroyed because of a relationship. Even after she defeated the scumbag responsible, her friend couldn’t be brought back.

However, there are also good aspects to being in love, as long as one remains rational.

Thinking too much, Chu Qingzhi quickly gathered her thoughts.

Chu Qingyue gently knocked on the door, “Little sister, it’s me, your second sister. May I come in?”

Chu Qingzhi walked over to open the door, “Second Sister, what brings you here?”

Chu Qingyue placed a bundle in Chu Qingzhi’s hands, “I heard you’re attending a banquet tomorrow. I’ve specially made a dress for you. Try it on to see if it fits.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Thank you, Second Sister.”

Chu Qingyue tenderly said, “Try on the dress first. If there’s any issue, let me know. I’ll alter it immediately. I want you to dazzle everyone tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Alright, I’ll try it on right now.”

After Chu Qingyue smiled and patted Chu Qingzhi’s head, she returned to her own room.

Chu Qingzhi opened the bundle to reveal the dress inside.

It was a light purple winter gown adorned with dark purple seasonal begonias, decorated with pearls and gemstones, both exquisite and luxurious.

“Second Sister is so thoughtful!” Chu Qingzhi gently touched the cloud brocade, which is produced only a hundred yards each year, truly fine material.

She retrieved her jewelry box, which unlike others that use boxes, she uses a chest, filled with an extensive collection.

Opening the chest, she took out a set of light purple jewelry that matched the dress perfectly.

“This will be my outfit for tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi wondered if Chu Qingshuang had prepared her outfit and accessories for the banquet tomorrow.

Thinking this, she headed towards Chu Qingshuang’s room.

Inside, Chu Qingshuang was sighing in frustration, with her two close friends, Chu Huirong and Chu Lingling, present.

Chu Huirong enviously said, “Qingshuang, you’re going to attend the school’s banquet with your fifth sister tomorrow?”

“Yes,” Chu Qingshuang nodded reluctantly, flopping onto the bed, “I’m actually worried right now.”

Chu Lingling, puzzled, looked at Chu Qingshuang, “Why are you worried? We don’t even have the chance to take a peek.”

Chu Qingshuang turned her head, resting it on her hands, “I’m not worried about attending the banquet; I’m worried because I don’t have suitable clothes. Anything too casual will embarrass my fifth sister.”

Chu Huirong agreed, “Right, your fifth sister is such a prominent figure; you can’t let her down.”

“So, what do I do?” Chu Lingling went to open Chu Qingshuang’s wardrobe, attempting to help her choose an outfit. The clothes were many and beautiful, but none seemed appropriate for the occasion.

Chu Qingshuang thought for a moment, “I’ll go to the city to buy a dress. Do you want to come with me?”

They both said, “Sure, we’ll help you choose.”

As Chu Qingshuang opened the door, Chu Qingzhi was about to knock, “Where are you planning to go?”

Chu Qingshuang looked a bit guilty, “Fifth Sister, I don’t have a dress for tomorrow’s banquet, so I’m going to the city to buy one.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll come with you to help you pick a few nice ones.”

Chu Qingshuang immediately hugged Chu Qingzhi, rubbing against her like a kitten, “Thank you, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi called out to the two girls in the room, “Huirong, Lingling, come with us.”

“Okay.” They were Chu Qingzhi’s little fans, eager to go out and play with her.

Taking the carriage, the four of them headed straight for the city’s best ready-to-wear clothes shop.

Chu Qingyue’s shop catered to the common people and didn’t carry high-end clothes, so they had to shop elsewhere.

There was hardly anyone in the city who didn’t recognize Chu Qingzhi. When the shopkeeper saw her entering the shop, he felt honored, “Miss, please come to the VIP room. Whatever you need, just say the word, and I’ll have someone bring it over.”

Chu Qingzhi, draping an arm over Chu Qingshuang’s shoulder, said, “This is my youngest sister. She will be attending the Yunfei School banquet tomorrow. Please bring some outfits that would suit her.”

The shopkeeper immediately showed respect, “Of course, of course. I’ll have someone bring them right away.”

Once inside the VIP room, the four young ladies took their seats, and the attendants brought over fine tea and snacks, treating them with utmost hospitality.

Chu Huirong and Chu Lingling had never experienced such treatment before and unconsciously sat up straighter.

The shopkeeper had the attendants bring five of the shop’s finest outfits that would suit Chu Qingshuang, “Young Miss, please take a look. Which ones do you like?”

Chu Qingzhi encouraged Chu Qingshuang, “Go ahead and choose. If you like them all, we’ll take them all.”

Then, she gestured to Chu Huirong and Chu Lingling, “You two also pick out a dress you like. I’ll buy them together.”

Chu Huirong and Chu Lingling were flabbergasted, “Really, Sister Qingzhi? Can we?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Yes, go ahead and choose.”

“Thank you, Sister Qingzhi!” They were thrilled, holding hands as they went out to pick their dresses. The store was filled with beautiful garments that had them dazzled the moment they entered.

The attendants displayed the dresses, each unique in style and color but all luxurious and exquisite.

Chu Qingshuang scanned the dresses, conflicted, “Fifth Sister, what color is your dress?”

“Light purple,” Chu Qingzhi replied.

Chu Qingshuang immediately pointed to the light purple dress, “Then I’ll wear purple too.”

Chu Qingzhi, with her generous spirit, suggested, “How about we take all five? ”

Chu Qingshuang hesitated, “Fifth Sister, that’s too expensive.” Each of these dresses cost at least twenty silver taels, and five would amount to over a hundred.

“It’s fine, if you like them, we’ll buy them all,” Chu Qingzhi waved her hand nonchalantly. “Shopkeeper, please pack all of these and bring them to the counter for checkout.”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed at the prospect of such a big sale, “Yes, yes, right away. I’ll have everything packed for the young miss.”

When they arrived at the main hall of the shop, Chu Huirong and Chu Lingling were still choosing dresses, each one as lovely as the next, making it hard to decide.

Chu Qingzhi approached them, “Haven’t found the right one yet?”

Chu Huirong shook her head, “It’s all so dazzling; it’s hard to choose.”

Observing their attire, Chu Qingzhi picked out a dress that matched each of their temperaments from the myriad of options, “These dresses will look good on you.”
