Only when Jiang Liluo’s hair was as short as other men would he look normal in the crowd.
People would only be attracted to Gu Ning’s beauty and some of them might recognize her.
Although several passers-by came to say hi to Gu Ning or take photos with her once in a while, Gu Ning wasn’t affected.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were curious about what they were doing when they took photos, but they didn’t ask about it in front of strangers. They knew it would cause unnecessary trouble.
After having a haircut, Jiang Liluo had a totally different air. He was more handsome now than when he had long hair. Even Si Jin was amazed by his change.
When Jiang Liluo saw that Si Jin was impressed by his new hairstyle, he was cheered up at once, since he actually felt a little sad after losing his long hair.
“Jin, what do you think?” Jiang Liluo asked. Although he already had the answer from her expression, he still wanted to hear the answer from her.
“You’re really handsome,” said Si Jin, feeling a little shy.
Hearing that, Jiang Liluo was happy.
After that, Gu Ning paid the money and took them away.
“Junior Gu, I’m sorry that you have to pay for everything for us.” Jiang Liluo was slightly embarrassed.
“It’s fine. You can pay me back in the future after you have money,” said Gu Ning. She was unwilling to hurt their pride or burden them.
If she said it was nothing and she didn’t need them to pay her back, it might hurt their dignity.
Hearing that, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin indeed felt much better. They didn’t think it was wrong that Gu Ning wanted them to pay her back in the future, and they didn’t think she was mean. She simply did it to protect their pride.
“Of course, we’ll pay you back once we make money,” said Jiang Liluo and Si Jin.
“Great,” said Gu Ning. She could feel their emotional change.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin didn’t work for her like Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, so she couldn’t treat them the same way.
Gu Ning gave Gao Yi and Qiao Ya money because they worked for it, so they wouldn’t feel burdened.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin would live with Shangguan Yang, and Shangguan Yang would accommodate them. In that case, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin would feel more relaxed. After all, they had a closer relationship with Shangguan Yang.
And after they learned more about modern society, they would find a job on their own.
In fact, she and Leng Shaoting could easily help Jiang Liluo and Si Jin get a job, but it depended on them whether they were willing to rely on Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning to make a living.
They had their pride after all, so they might feel hurt if Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning helped them too much.
Sometimes, it wasn’t a good thing for a person to have a lot of pride, because he or she could easily get paranoid. In that case, he or she would accept little help and live a difficult life.
Therefore, people could have pride, but should also learn to seek help when it was necessary. People built friendships with one another by giving and accepting help.
Anyway, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin weren’t in a rush to get a job right now.
…
Gu Ning took Jiang Liluo and Si Jin to the Huangdeng Hotel and booked a private room. She gave the menu to them and told them to order whatever they wanted to eat.
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin felt a little embarrassed, so they only ordered two dishes, then quickly returned the menu to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning understood that they felt embarrassed to order many dishes, so she ordered more.
“Junior Gu, there are only three of us. You don’t need to order so many,” said Si Jin. In fact, they could eat a lot of food and they were aware that Gu Ning ordered many dishes for them, but they only felt embarrassed because Gu Ning spent a lot of money on them.
“Don’t worry, we can eat more.” Gu Ning said, “I don’t want you to be hungry. We only have enough energy to deal with our business when we’re full.”
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin said nothing further. Gu Ning had already finished ordering, and they could indeed eat a lot.
“Oh, you’re going to take a plane to the capital, so I need you to learn about it now,” said Gu Ning and took out her phone. She showed Jiang Liluo and Si Jin photos of planes.
“See? This is a plane. It can fly in the air, but it’s very safe. You don’t need to worry about your safety,” said Gu Ning.
“It can fly in the air?”
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were shocked, because the plane was so large, but it was able to fly in the air.
“Is this faster than Uncle Shangguan’s flying sword?” Si Jin asked curiously.
She knew little about planes, but she was aware that Shangguan Yang’s flying sword was super fast, so she believed that planes weren’t comparable to the flying sword.
Jiang Liluo also had that opinion.
“The plane could fly two thirds faster than the flying sword! It only takes two and a half hours for us to get to the capital by plane, and it might take three hours and fifteen minutes by flying sword,” said Gu Ning.
“Wow, it’s so fast. It’s unbelievable.”
Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were astonished. They felt that Shangguan Yang’s flying sword should be much faster, but it turned out that planes were faster. Moreover, planes were a lot faster than the flying sword.
They felt this new world was full of unbelievable things.
Actually, people were always surprised by unknown things. People in modern society would also be amazed by monsters and ghosts because they didn’t think they really existed. However, it was very normal for cultivators.
“You think it’s unbelievable, because you weren’t born in this age. If you were born here, you wouldn’t think it’s unbelievable. It is like how people nowadays don’t believe in monsters or ghosts, but they’re very normal in your eyes,” said Gu Ning..
