Feng Tianlan said, “As long as you behave, 1 won’t send you back early.”
Gu Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s good.
“Master, the carriage is ready.” Jing Feng entered from outside.
“I’m not leaving!” Gu Xiaonan waved his hand.
Jing Feng looked surprised as he glanced at Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan said, “Let him stay for now. During this time, you stay with Yuanxi.”
…..
Jing Feng didn’t understand why his master suddenly changed his mind, but he was still happy to hear the news. His master had always been busy, and they rarely had the chance to spend time together. It was a rare opportunity for them to go out together, and he hoped they could bond as father and son.
Jing Feng happily agreed.
Gu Xiaonan curled his lips.
What’s there to be happy about?
Just to keep an eye on him?
Gu Xiaonan would make sure Jing Feng couldn’t find him later which would make Jing Feng cry!
Hmph!
After giving his instructions, Feng Tianlan left and returned to his room.
He took out the Chaos Stone, and a fleeting gleam of light flashed in his slender, deep eyes.
He didn’t expect that there would be a Chaos Stone in the Cloud Plains Continent. It was even rare to find one in the Tian Ji Continent.
It seemed that he needed to send someone to search for more Chaos Stones. Perhaps he could find a larger supply.
With the Chaos Stone, his injuries would heal faster.
Feng Tianlan placed his hand over his chest and pondered silently.
He originally intended to immediately absorb the energy from the Chaos Stone, but suddenly, Gu Qingluan’s face flashed through his mind.
Why did she want the Chaos Stone? Did she recognize it?
The Chaos Stone was so precious. If that woman truly knew its value, she would surely come back to find Yuanxi.
Thinking of his agreement with his son, Feng Tianlan murmured, “It seems necessary to warn that woman to prevent her from bewitching Yuanxi again.”

“Master!” Su Lie’s voice came from outside the carriage.
He had been sent by Gu Qingluan to handle some tasks after the auction.
Now that he had returned, it was apparent that he had news to share.
“Come in,” Gu Qingluan said.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Su Lie entered.
“Mr. Liu, you’re here too!” Su Lie greeted both Gu Qingluan and Liu Meng.
Liu Meng smiled and gave him a simple reply.
Su Lie’s gaze shifted to Gu Qingluan and he said, “Master, your speculation was correct. The Gu family has indeed been targeted. Unfortunately, those people were not skillful enough, and Gu Zhicheng ended up consuming the Universe Stabilizer!”
Gu Qingluan was taken aback. “He directly consumed it?”
“Yes, with so many experts watching, I’m not sure when he managed to consume it. The high-level experts who originally surrounded him became his prey instead. The two men who died were foreigners, and countless others were injured. Fortunately, 1 quickly slipped away, or 1 wouldn’t have the chance to return to share with you the news.”
Su Lie detailed the situation to Gu Qingluan, his eyes filled with concern. “You have a conflict with Gu Zhicheng, and now that he has become a Saint, he will soon come looking for trouble. Should we take precautions and avoid any confrontations?”
The territory of Chengyuan Kingdom was vast, but at that time, there were only two Saints. One resided in the imperial palace, while the other had chosen seclusion. Neither of them would have easily shown themselves.
Gu Zhicheng’s ascension to the rank of Saint gave him unparalleled power within Chengyuan Kingdom. As for Gu Qingluan, she was just one step away from reaching the Saint Stage. However, that one step seemed like an insurmountable gap.
“Whatever is bound to happen will happen. Since I chose to return this time, I have no intention of running away!” Gu Qingluan smiled proudly. Her bright black eyes gleaming with a mischievous light.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Su Lie’s tightly wound heart eased slightly.
His master was so intelligent, she must have anticipated the possibility of this situation and surely had a way to deal with it.
Su Lie respectfully asked, “Have you figured out how to handle it? Is there anything I can do?”
Gu Qingluan shook her head. “No.”
“What?” Su Lie was dumbfounded.
Had the master not thought about it? Or did she simply have no plan in mind?
