Feng Yuanxi looked at him expectantly.

“Your father may have said we can’t actively search for Mother, but he didn’t forbid us from ‘accidentally’ crossing paths with her!”

Feng Yuanxi’s mind also lit up, and he understood immediately, “Xiaonan, will you help me?”

“Of course! Since you look so much like me, I’ll definitely help you!” Gu Xiaonan patted his chest.

“Xiaonan, you’re really great!” Feng Yuanxi was grateful.

Gu Xiaonan grinned, “That’s settled then! When we go back, I’ll ask Mother when she’s free and take her out to play. Then I’ll have Xiaomei pass the message to you.”

Using Xiaomei was the safest option.

Although Xiaomei could be a bit talkative at times, she was reliable when it came to delivering messages. She would only pass the message to the intended recipient and wouldn’t blabber around, ensuring the message’s safety from interception.

“Great!” Feng Yuanxi nodded eagerly.

“Oh, one more thing. I’ll give you this bottle of elixir.”

“For me?” Feng Yuanxi took the bottle he handed over, looking confused.

Gu Xiaonan puffed up his cheeks and told him about the Heavenly Heart Qin.

“The Heavenly Heart Qin was bought by your father for you. I’m giving you the elixir, so it can be considered that I bought the Heavenly Heart Qin from you. That way, I didn’t lie to my mother. But don’t tell her, I’m afraid she’ll get angry.”

Feng Yuanxi promised, “I’ll keep it a secret.”

“That’s good!” Gu Xiaonan resolved a worry and smiled happily.

He came with Briquette, SteamBun, and left with Xiao Bai and Xiaomei.

The servants dutifully reported what they saw to Feng Tianlan.

A hint of doubt flashed in Feng Tianlan’s eyes, but he didn’t delve into it.

As long as that woman wasn’t involved, he didn’t plan to meddle in his son’s friendships.

Little did Feng Tianlan realize that, despite the mutual agreement between his son and Gu Qingluan not to actively search for each other, Gu Xiaonan had found a clever way to “accidentally” orchestrate their meeting.

In the afternoon, the opportunity arose.

Gu Xiaonan sent Xiaomei to the palace to deliver the message.

He then took Gu Qingluan in a carriage to Yunhai Tower.

“Why do you suddenly want to go to Yunhai Tower?” Gu Qingluan looked at her excited son curiously.

“The food at Yunhai Tower is delicious, I want to dine there!” Gu Xiaonan made up an excuse.

Gu Qingluan scolded him with a glance, “The chefs in our residence were hired from Yunhai Tower. Isn’t it the same?”

“It’s not the same. They have more chefs there, and the restaurant is lively. The food tastes even better!” Gu Xiaonan casually found an excuse.

Gu Qingluan glanced at him displeased, thinking that her son enjoyed the lively crowd.

In the past, the Island of No Return was quiet on the sea.

It was rare to leave the island, so it was normal for her son to be drawn to crowded places.

Yunhai Tower, the grandest restaurant in Tianjing, had swiftly expanded its influence across the Cloud Plains Continent within a few short years. Its reputation for exquisite cuisine and breathtaking views had captivated the hearts of countless diners. Outshining its competitors, both big and small, it had ascended to the pinnacle of the culinary world, claiming the title of the foremost restaurant.

When Feng Yuanxi first came to Tianjing, he was entertained by the crown prince of Chengyuan Kingdom and had dined there once. Therefore, he wasn’t unfamiliar with this place.

However, last time he was in a private room, while today he sat in the main hall.

Jing Feng had to constantly pay attention to the surroundings to prevent anyone from harming him.

“Young master, what are you looking at?” Jing Feng found it strange that Feng Yuanxi kept glancing towards the entrance. Was the young master waiting for someone?

“Nothing.” Feng Yuanxi pretended as if nothing was amiss. “Yunhai Tower is really busy, bustling with people.”

Jing Feng nodded, “Yunhai Tower is indeed busy.”

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost..
