“Hey, don’t go in!” In that moment, Lu Banian quickly turned around to stop the little fox from entering.

Gu Qingluan, standing nearby, was about to ask Lu Banian what was happening when she saw the little white fox rushing in, leaving her momentarily stunned. Lu Banian was surprised. “Do you know it?”

“Chirp chirp!” Xiao Bai, upon seeing Gu Qingluan, became filled with excitement and leaped towards her feet.

Gu Qingluan bent down and picked Xiao Bai up, asking with delight, “Xiao Bai, where have you been all this time?”

After her son, Gu Xiaonan, had secretly sneaked into Jun Residence, Gu Qingluan had sent a message to Bo He to keep her from worrying.

Bo He had also come to the Jun Residence but claimed not to have seen Xiao Bai.

Gu Qingluan thought that someone had captured Xiao Bai, but she never expected to see it here!

“Chirp chirp chirp!” Xiao Bai extended its little paws, pointing towards the outside of the door.

The young master has been captured!

Gu Qingluan didn’t understand its sounds and turned around joyfully.

“Xiaonan, look, Xiao Bai has come back on its own!”

“Chirp?” Xiao Bai, upon seeing the boy sitting behind Gu Qingluan, felt just as perplexed as when it first encountered Xiao Mei.

The young master?

Feng Yuanxi knew that Xiao Bai must be with Gu Xiaonan.

If Xiao Bai was here, would Gu Xiaonan also be here?

His heart tightened. Was he about to be separated from Mom?

“Xiaonan, what’s going on? Are you so happy that you’re acting silly?” Gu Qingluan approached and gently stroked Xiao Bai’s head, soothing the restless creature.

“Yeah! Xiao Bai has finally come back!” Feng Yuanxi suppressed the bitterness within and reached out to take Xiao Bai into his arms.

“Chirp chirp, chirp!”

Xiao Bai glared at him.

You’re not the young master!

You have a different scent!

Feng Yuanxi pressed his hand on its back, exerting an invisible pressure that made it difficult for Xiao Bai to breathe.

With its head lowered, Xiao Bai stared fixedly at him with its purplish eyes in the darkness. “Xiao Bai, 1 missed you so much.”

Xiao Bai couldn’t help but tremble.

Who is this person? Why is he pretending to be the little master?

Gu Qingluan smiled and then noticed that Lu Banian looked somewhat strange. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Banian asked, “Miss Gu, do you only have one son?”

“Of course, why do you ask?” Gu Qingluan smiled and inquired.

Lu Banian shook his head, thinking to himself: So, that child earlier has no relation to Miss Gu?

“If you need anything, just press the call button, and someone from the auction house will come to assist you,” Lu Banian said.

In consideration of guests’ privacy, the attendants were not kept inside the VIP room. They would only come in to serve if the VIPs requested assistance.

“Alright, you can go and attend to your duties.”

Understanding his role, Gu Qingluan knew that Lu Banian would be very busy today and didn’t want to delay him any further.

“Wait!”

Just as Lu Banian was about to close the door and leave, Gu Qingluan suddenly called out to him.

“What else can I do for you, Miss Gu?”

“You don’t need to worry about any misbehavior from the Gu family. Those from the Island of No Return won’t dare to abuse their authority, let alone listen to the Gu family.”

A look of surprise flickered in Lu Banian’s eyes.

Knowing that some things shouldn’t be pursued further, Lu Banian didn’t ask her how she knew. He simply nodded, expressed his thanks, and left.

As the door closed, Gu Qingluan turned her head and saw her son whispering something to Xiao Bai.

She smiled and didn’t give it much thought, directing her attention to the auction proceedings.

A stunning woman with a beautiful appearance and tall figure stepped onto the stage to introduce herself.

She was Lu Yao, the top auctioneer of the Lushi Auction House.

With the auction about to begin, Lu Yao’s eloquent opening statement ignited the atmosphere in the venue.

In a corner, Xiao Bai widened its eyes in surprise. “Chirp chirp?”

Do you understand what I’m saying?

Feng Yuanxi nodded his head. “I do!”

Since childhood, he understood the language of animals and could communicate with spiritual beasts.

His father said it was an innate ability that should not be easily revealed to others.

However, Feng Yuanxi felt that it was fine to tell this little fox.

Lowering his voice, he asked, “Is your young master here?”
