Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi sat on stools, positioned as if they were guarding the entrance to the alchemy room, much like two little sentinels.
That was the scene Bo He saw when she arrived.
“Xiaonan, has the mistress not come out yet?”
“Not yet.” Gu Xiaonan shook his head. Seeing that something was amiss with Bo He’s expression, he inquired, “Sister Bo He, is something wrong outside? 1 think 1 heard someone calling for Mother.”
Bo He’s face displayed a hint of anger. “Indeed, someone is calling for the mistress. Those people are truly foolish and ignorant. They were easily swayed into thinking that the Dingbei Army’s rebellion was because of the mistress. Now many people have gathered outside the Jun Residence, pressuring the mistress to show herself.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi immediately stood up, their two cute and delicate faces expressing anger.
“What do they want?”
Gu Qingluan had released the two of them from the Stellar Space and had instructed them to stay at home and not wander around.
They only knew that the Dingbei Army had rebelled, but they didn’t know the specifics.
Bo He’s face turned grim. “They want the mistress to take responsibility and appease the anger of the Dingbei Army.”
“What nonsense! What crime has Mother committed?” Gu Xiaonan clenched his small fists.
“If you wish to accuse someone, there’s always a pretext.” Feng Yuanxi’s beautiful dark eyes flashed with a hint of maturity beyond his years. “They only want someone to bear their wrath.”
Just as they were speaking, a deafening boom resounded.
They all looked up.
The formation barrier that enveloped the Jun Residence was slightly shaking.
Someone was attacking the Jun Residence.
“Oh no, they’ve started!” Bo He’s expression changed.
“Don’t worry, Sister Bo He. As long as it’s not a Saint, they won’t break through Mother’s formation barrier in a short time,” Gu Xiaonan reassured her.
Mother was a Grandmaster in formation techniques. After the protective barrier around the Jun Residence had been breached by that old man Gu Zhicheng once before, she reinforced the formation. Even if Gu Zhicheng himself tried to attack the barrier, it wouldn’t be a simple task.
However, now that people had come to confront them, there was no reason to stay hidden!
Gu Xiaonan picked up Xiaobai and said, “Let me see who’s outside.”
Feng Yuanxi immediately said, “I’ll go with you!”
Xiaomei flew out of her cage and followed closely behind them.
Bo He cast a concerned glance at the firmly sealed door of the alchemy room. Fearing for the safety of the two young masters, she hastened to join them.
“Gu Qingluan! Come out!”
“Do you really believe you can hide like a coward in there? Weren’t you acting all high and mighty before? You’ve shown your prowess, so why not confront the Dingbei Army outside? Hiding won’t benefit you at all!”
“Don’t think you can stay safe by hiding in there!”
“Come out! Come out now!”
All sorts of clamor were directed at the Jun Residence.
The people who had come were throwing vegetables, eggs, and stones towards the Jun Residence in order to vent their anger.
A pile of spoiled vegetables and broken eggs had already accumulated outside the Jun Residence.
When Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi arrived and saw this scene, their faces turned red with anger.
“All! I’m going to beat them up!”
Xiaobai squealed along with them.
Xiaomei circled above Gu Xiaonan’s head, noisily shouting, “Beat them up! Beat them up!”
Feng Yuanxi grabbed Gu Xiaonan’s hand firmly and said, “Don’t act impulsively!”
“Yuanxi, don’t stop me! 1 have to teach them a lesson! How dare they insult Mother? They’re all bad people!”
“There are too many of them. If you rush out like this, it could be dangerous. 1 have a way to deal with them.” Feng Yuanxi’s anger was no less than Gu Xiaonan’s.
In his eyes, his mother was perfect, and anyone who insulted her was a villain.
Gu Xiaonan turned to him and asked, “What’s your plan?”
Feng Yuanxi took out a jade flute and said, “Just watch and see..”
