“As the saying goes, it’s more effective to be flexible and accommodating rather than rigid and resistant. Instead of cutting off Yuanxi’s contact with women, it’s better to let him experience it firsthand and learn from it. If he encounters a cunning woman, he can see for himself. The more he sees, the better he will become at discerning. If you’re not around in the future, he will be able to judge for himself, isn’t that better?”
Feng Tianlan pursed his lips. “You’re quite eloquent.”
“I take that as a compliment,” Gu Qingluan said, curling her lips into a faint smile.
Her beautiful face radiated charm, her eyes filled with water-like brilliance, and her smile was captivating and unmatched.
Feng Tianlan lost himself in her presence.
After a moment, he snapped out of his daze and regretted his previous actions. To conceal his embarrassment, he spoke through gritted teeth, “The antidote!” “Soak it in a solution of fish mint for two hours, and you will be cured,” Gu Qingluan replied.
Feng Tianlan stared at her intently.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me you still want to kill me?”
“You’re right, I did use the wrong approach. From now on, I won’t stop Yuanxi from seeing you. I want him to see for himself what you’re up to!”
Feng Yuanxi exclaimed, “Dad, are you serious? Can I really see Beautiful Sister in the future?”
“Yes.” Feng Tianlan nodded, looking down at him with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He had indeed made a mistake before.
The more he opposed it, the further his son would be driven away.
It was better to let Yuanxi interact more with her.
Distance lends enchantment to the view
As Yuanxi spent more time with her, he would naturally see that she wasn’t as good as he imagined.
At that time, it would be effortless to sever their relationship.
“Now, do you want to stay or go back to the palace with me?”
With eyes wide open, Feng Yuanxi found it hard to believe that happiness had arrived so swiftly.
Dad actually agreed not to stop him from seeing Beautiful Sister!
Naturally, he wanted to be with Beautiful Sister.
But-
Looking at his father’s bruised and swollen face, Feng Yuanxi felt a pang of sympathy.
Well, there would be plenty of opportunities to see Beautiful Sister in the future. For now, he should accompany his injured father back.
Upon hearing Feng Yuanxi’s choice, a faint smile appeared in Feng Tianlan’s eyes.
Indeed, retreating was the best strategy.
“Let’s go.”
Feng Yuanxi nodded and turned to bid farewell to Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan.
“Beautiful Sister, Xiaonan, I’ll visit Jun Residence another day. Goodbye!”
Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan waved goodbye.
Feng Tianlan slowly lifted his foot and walked out.
“Master, let me support you.” Jing Feng offered when he saw his difficulty in moving.
“I’ll do it myself!”
Feng Yuanxi hurried to Feng Tianlan’s side, holding his hand. “Dad, take it slow, watch out for the doorstep.”
Feng Tianlan gave Jing Feng a disdainful glance.
Jing Feng tactfully stepped aside, watching as the young master supported the towering figure with his small body.
After they left, the innkeeper of Yunhai Tower approached. “Miss, arc you okay?”
The private room on the third floor was specially arranged for Gu Qingluan, and the staff of Yunhai Tower always treated her with great caution.
When the man intruded and forced open the door, the staff of Yunhai Tower were startled and wanted to drive him away, but they were stopped by several guards.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from the door of the private room, the staff of Yunhai Tower were deterred and couldn’t approach.
“We’re fine. We’re going back now. Forget what happened today,” Gu Qingluan said, dismissing the innkeeper’s question.
The innkeeper held back the questions he wanted to ask.
“Miss, Young Master, have a safe trip back.”
Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan left Yunhai Tower.
Even after they got into the carriage, Gu Xiaonan couldn’t shake off his worries.
“Mother, are you just going to let him go? What if he comes back to cause trouble for you?”
He could tell that the Demon Lord’s strength far surpassed his mother’s.
This time, his mother had successfully poisoned him unexpectedly.
But next time, they might not be so lucky.
Today, the Demon Lord had been beaten. Once the poison was cured, he was likely to seek revenge.
“After all, he saved my life. Can I really kill him? Not to mention, he’s Yuanxi’s biological father. For Yuanxi’s sake, it’s not good to kill him. I think he won’t easily come looking for trouble again.”
“But he originally wanted to kill you! Letting him off like this is too kind to him! You should have made him suffer more and not told him the antidote.”
Gu Qingluan revealed a wicked smile at his words.. “Do you think I let him off so easily?”
