Because he’s about the same age as Yuanxi, right?
Even their voices sound very similar…
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so sure that the other person was disguised as Yuanxi.
“That’s it for today, I have to go home. Goodbye, Yuanxi! Goodbye, Uncle Feng!”
“I’ll have someone send you back.”
Gu Xiaonan didn’t refuse.
He wasn’t stupid. Why bother using his own two legs when there was a free ride available?
Feng Tianlan arranged for a carriage and personally accompanied Gu Xiaonan to the main entrance.
This made Gu Xiaonan have a different view of him.
In fact, the Great Demon King wasn’t that bad.
“You don’t have to escort me further. I’m leaving. Goodbye!”
“Xiaonan!” Feng Yuanxi called out to him.
Gu Xiaonan turned back, looking at him with inquisitive eyes.
“Remember our promise!”
“Don’t worry! 1 won’t forget!”
Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow.
Promise?
What kind of promise would children make?
The carriage departed.
Feng Tianlan returned to his usual life.
And Gu Xiaonan returned to the side of Gu Qingluan!
“Mother!”
Inside the Jun Residence, Gu Xiaonan saw Gu Qingluan and became excited, his eyes shining brightly. Like a firework, he rushed into her arms.
Gu Qingluan caught him steadily and smiled, asking, “What brought about such joy on your face?”
“I missed you so much!”
“Didn’t we just meet this morning? You miss me after half a day?”
Gu Xiaonan sweetly said, “Mm-hmm! One day without seeing each other feels like three autumns. It’s been half a day since we last met, so it’s like one and a half autumns!”
Gu Qingluan laughed at his quick wit. It seemed like he had completely recovered from his gloomy mood. She pinched his nose and said, “You and your sweet little mouth. Stop hugging me. I have some dirt on me, and 1 don’t wish for you to become dirty as well.” “Mother smells nice. Where’s the dirt? Even if 1 get dirty, I’m not afraid!”
Gu Qingluan chuckled.
He was indeed quite sweet with his words.
“What are you doing, Mother?” Gu Xiaonan jumped off her and curiously looked around.
Gu Qingluan’s clothes had some mud and water stains on them as if she had just come back from working in the fields.
“I planted some spiritual herbs in the back mountain. The spiritual energy there is quite rich, and the soil is fertile, which is suitable for cultivation.”
“Ohh!” Gu Xiaonan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said, “Mother, close your eyes. I have a gift for you.”
“What sort of gift is it? It’s quite intriguing, keeping it a mystery like this.”
“You’ll find out soon. Close your eyes quickly!”
Gu Qingluan closed her eyes helplessly. “Alright, they’re closed.”
Gu Xiaonan took out the Heavenly Heart Qin from his spatial storage.
“You can open your eyes now!”
Gu Qingluan opened her eyes and saw Gu Xiaonan holding a box in his hands.
“What’s this?”
“Mother, open it and see!”
Gu Qingluan glanced at him and lifted the lid of the box, revealing a radiant and colorful zither.
She couldn’t help but be amazed.
Her slender jade fingers gently plucked the strings.
A melodious sound echoed.
“This is… a sacred artifact?”
“Yes, it’s the Heavenly Heart Qin. Mother, do you like it?” Gu Xiaonan’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Such a precious zither, where did you get it?”
“I bought it!”
“Where did you get so much money?”
“Um, I earned it!” Gu Xiaonan grumbled. The Great Demon King lost his son, and he worked hard as his substitute son for several days. The Heavenly Heart Qin was bought by him with the money he earned, more or less!
Gu Qingluan looked serious. “Xiaonan, haven’t I taught you anything? This Heavenly Heart Qin is worth at least ten Xuanling Crystal Hearts. You’ve been with me these past few days.. Where did you go to earn so much money?”
