Clang!

The iron ring fell to the ground, rolling several times before slowly coming to a stop.

Feng Yuanxi was a bit annoyed.

Stupid Briquette, its actually slacking off, so there will be no dinner for it tonight!

Through Feng Yuanxis eyes, Briquette understood his meaning, and its stomach growled.

It was close to dinner time.

It, it wouldnt bow for a measly meal!

With a twist of its head, it struck a posture of unwavering determination.

Having failed to intimidate it with his gaze, Feng Yuanxi then addressed Gu Qingluan, explaining, Beautiful Sister, Briquette is a bit stupid. Ill train it more and showcase its performance to you next time.

Gu Qingluan nodded with a smile.

In terms of intelligence, that seemingly lively and clever SteamBun couldnt compare to Briquette.

This tiny creature may seem dark and unremarkable on the surface, but within it hid remarkable qualities.

Nevertheless, observing it on this particular day, she felt a.s.sured that Feng Yuanxi wouldnt be at a disadvantage.

Yet, in response to Feng Yuanxis statement, Briquette grew visibly agitated.

Which part of it is stupid?

Its about having principles!

Its about having pride, do you understand?

After playing with Yuanxi for a while, Gu Qingluan got up to take her leave.

Yuanxi was reluctant to part.

Influenced by him, Gu Qingluan also felt a hint of melancholy upon parting.

Jing Feng was speechless.

Its not like its a life-or-death separation; its just a few streets away. Was there a need for this?

Gu Qingluan suddenly turned and asked him, Jing Feng, I have a question Id like to ask you. Can we go out for a moment?

Jing Feng was puzzled. What did Miss want to ask him?

Beautiful Sister is calling you, go quickly, Yuanxi urged.

Jing Feng could only follow Gu Qingluan outside the wall.

Five years ago, did your master bring back a child from Tianjing? Gu Qingluan asked abruptly.

Jing Feng was taken aback by the question and looked at her warily. 1 dont know what youre talking about.

Gu Qingluan gazed at him, not missing the fleeting surprise in his eyes. He indeed knew!

I already know. Your master brought back an illegitimate child five years ago. Theres no need to pretend you dont know.

Jing Feng didnt understand how she could know about this matter. They had concealed their ident.i.ties when they came to Tianjing, and no one should know that His Highness had brought back an illegitimate child to the capital back then.

Gu Miss seemed so certain Could it be that she had discovered their ident.i.ties?

Even so, why was she asking about this?

Did it have anything to do with her?

Jing Feng, lets not beat around the bush. Im bringing up this matter because Ive already confirmed that the child is the one my friend lost. My friend is critically ill now and just wants to see the child one last time.

Gu Qingluans words were earnest, and Jing Feng was left dumbfounded. Really really?

Of course its true. Why would I lie to you? Gu Qingluan shot him a glance. Jing Feng asked with excitement, Whos your friend? Where does she live? If what she said was true, wouldnt His Young Master soon have a mother!

Ah!

His Young Master is about to have a biological mother!

How touching!

He had to tell His Young Master this good news.

No, he had to tell Master first.

Master didnt seem to like His Young Masters mother. If he rashly told His Young Master, Master would surely be furious.

But no matter what, this was good news after all!

They had searched for five years, nearly six. They were finally going to succeed. Suppressing her excitement, Gu Qingluan calmly said, Because my friend is being pursued by enemies, shes currently hiding in a secluded place. 1 cant tell you where. First, tell me where the child is, and Ill take him to see my friend. The child is Jing Feng suddenly stopped.

Gu Qingluans breath caught in her throat. Seeing he wasnt speaking, she almost couldnt breathe. Just say it!

I will report this matter to Master. Miss Gu, why dont you wait inside for a while?

At this critical moment, Jing Feng didnt forget his ident.i.ty and duty.

Gu Qingluan was almost driven to death by him.

d.a.m.n, is it that hard to say it?

Would it kill him to say speak up?

Do you want to say it or not? My friend is on the brink of death. If you delay them from meeting for possibly the last time, youll be a sinner.

With those words spoken, she departed, her sleeves swis.h.i.+ng as she went. Wait!

Jing Feng hurriedly called out to her.

He couldnt bear the weight of such a grave accusation.

Gu Qingluan walked away, leaving him with a cold and indifferent silhouette, not bothering to glance back.

As she was about to disappear, Jing Feng panicked and blurted out, Its Young Master!
