Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Feng Tianlan’s eyes were dim and unclear: “Five years ago, on Yunuo Mountain…”

Yunuo Mountain? Isn’t that where she was reborn?

Gu Qingluan was taken aback.

Seeing her reaction, Feng Tianlan’s gaze turned fierce, as if he wanted to devour her. “You finally remember?”

Gu Qingluan’s mind raced.

This man was saying that she abandoned someone, but at that time, she had just crossed over. How could she possibly have abandoned…

Suddenly, Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered, her heart pounding.

If she had to think about who she might have left behind, there was only one person: the child taken by Gu Lingxue.

Could it be him?

How could this man know about his existence?

Wasn’t that child refined into a pill by Gu Lingxue?

Could something unexpected have happened along the way, causing Gu Lingxue to lose that child?

However, without the divine pill, how could Gu Lingxue have gained special admission to the Qiankun Academy and become a disciple of the Revered One?

Gu Qingluan lifted her radiant eyes and looked at Feng Tianlan. “Where is the ‘he’ that you mentioned?”

Feng Tianlan sneered. “You gave up pretending?”

“Where is the child? Tell me where he is!” Gu Qingluan grabbed his arm and asked forcefully.

Feng Tianlan was taken aback by her disheveled and frantic appearance. Immediately, he let out a cold snort and brushed her away with a flick of his sleeve, his tone icy, “Don’t ever expect to know who he is in your lifetime.”

Since she chose to abandon him in the beginning, she no longer has the qualification to be Yuanxi’s mother.

Gu Qingluan was pushed back several steps and stumbled, colliding with a table. She steadied herself by gripping the edge of the table, disregarding the pain in her waist from the impact. Her voice grew stern as she asked, “Feng, where is that child?”

In response, Feng Tianlan gave her a sarcastic smile.

Gu Qingluan thought back to his words just now. She knew he had misunderstood. Suppressing her anger, she explained, “I never abandoned that child. He was taken away by someone!”

Feng Tianlan dismissed her explanation as a lie.

“My child, how could I abandon him? He was taken by Gu Lingxue!”

Feng Tianlan’s expression froze.

Gu Lingxue?

That young lady who protected Yuanxi?

Feng Tianlan furrowed his brows and asked, “Why did she take your child?”

To uncover the child’s fate, Gu Qingluan had to patiently respond to his inquiries. “Driven by her own selfish desires, Gu Lingxue insisted that the child I carried was extraordinary, capable of being used as an ingredient to refine a divine pill. When I was eight months pregnant, she forcibly opened my belly and snatched the child away.”

Gu Qingluan’s eyes reddened, her voice full of strength, almost tearful.

Whenever she thought of that scene from that day, her heart ached intensely.

Having merged with the memories of the previous inhabitant, the anguish of being cut open paled in comparison to the agony of losing a child. This sorrow was deeply imprinted in her mind and heart.

Feng Tianlan’s figure trembled violently. His eyes brimmed with intense killing intent. “She dares!”

To actually target his son!

Yuanxi was his blood, with a special constitution. He was born with divine power, capable of commanding countless beasts. If someone with malicious intentions discovered this, they could indeed use him as an ingredient for pills.

He recalled the scene from five years ago in the mountains.

Countless beasts gathered, and in the center, a baby in swaddling clothes cried incessantly.

A young lady in luxurious clothes sat nearby, her eyes filled with fear.

The spiritual beasts all protected the baby, while their gazes towards the young lady were fierce.

It turned out he had been deceived all along!

Truly, a woman’s heart is the most treacherous!

And he had actually regarded her as a benefactor…

If Gu Lingxue were here right now, Feng Tianlan would surely kill her.

No, he would make her wish she were dead!
