Chapter 31

It’s You?

Gu Qingluan touched her nose.

Was Yuanxi being too sweet-tongued? Was she really as good as he described?

“Heh!” Feng Tianlan sneered, “You’re hopeless. You can’t even handle two human traffickers, yet you want to go out and find women? Go back and cultivate in seclusion! You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”

Ah, he was going to be confined to the small dark room again!

Yuanxi sighed bitterly.

That meant he wouldn’t be able to see the beautiful sister anymore, right?

Would the beautiful sister forget about him?

No, that couldn’t happen!

He had to fight for it!

“Father, can I go and thank the beautiful sister first tomorrow, and then practice when I return?”

“No!” Feng Tianlan ruthlessly refused.

“Father, you can’t do this. Didn’t you teach me to be grateful and repay kindness?” Feng Yuanxi pouted unhappily.

Repay kindness?

Hah! Who knows if the woman who saved Yuanxi was just like the other women from the past, deliberately getting close to him!

It’s possible that the human traffickers Yuanxi encountered were working with that woman!

A glint of darkness flashed in Feng Tianlan’s eyes. “Jingfeng, take Yuanxi back!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuanxi immediately protested, “I’m not going! I won’t leave unless Father agrees!”

“Young Master, please leave!” Jingfeng whispered, standing by his side. Didn’t he see how angry Master was?

Feng Yuanxi clenched his fists stubbornly. “I’m not going!”

Feng Tianlan simply picked him up and swiftly headed into the distance.

“No, no! Father, let me go! I’m not leaving! I want to find the beautiful sister!”

Soon, the three of them disappeared from sight.

After a while, Gu Qingluan jumped down from the tree.

Right at this moment, a strong gust of wind attacked.

Gu Qingluan’s expression turned cold as she dodged to the side.

She did not expect the other party to move so quickly. He grabbed her throat and pushed her against the tree trunk.

His back slammed into a tree trunk with a loud bang.

Gu Qingluan gasped in pain.

“It’s you?”

The man sounded surprised.

Gu Qingluan looked at it.

Wasn’t this Yuan Xi’s father?

He didn’t leave?

Gu Qingluan looked behind him but did not see Yuan Xi and his guards. She understood that this guy had indeed discovered her just now, but he did not expose her in front of Yuan Xi.

Why did he ask someone to send Yuan Xi away and come back?

Little Yuanxi was right, his father really did have a strong aversion to women. Gu Qingluan could feel the sharp and chilling gaze projected onto her, like blades.

But did she care whether he liked her or not?

A glint of silver flashed at her fingertips as she aimed for the man’s chest.

Feng Tianlan swiftly grabbed her wrist, his eyes showing a glint of coldness as he saw the silver needle she held.

Failing to land her strike, Gu Qingluan raised her other hand and scattered poisonous powder towards his face.

Feng Tianlan immediately stepped back, a faint purple light shimmering around him, blocking the powder.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Qingluan stepped back a few steps. Without any guilt for using tools and poison, she questioned, “What do you want, sir?”

Feng Tianlan looked at the familiar little face in front of him, and his pair of deep phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously.

He had just seen this woman causing a ruckus in the Gu residence during the day, and that arrogant and domineering look was still engraved in his mind.

He didn’t expect to meet her again so soon.

Was she the ‘beautiful sister’ that Yuan Xi was talking about?

Thinking about the other person’s identity, Feng Tianlan’s gaze darkened.

His deep eyes were sharp as if trying to penetrate through her skin and see into her soul.

Gu Qingluan crossed her arms and wore a lazy and mocking smile on her face. “What? Are you thinking of killing me?”

Feng Tianlan didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “Have you ever given birth to a child?”
