Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’d be the best if he were to die of frustration!” Gu Xiaonan was full of resentment. Wasn’t his stupid father supposed to be very clever? He still hadn’t recognized him until now; he deserved to die of frustration.
Feng Yuanxi looked at Gu Xiaonan’s angry and aggrieved appearance, his lips moved a few times, but he didn’t try to stop him anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Xiaonan thought about arranging a marriage for his mother. Surely there had to be some kind of competition?
Well…
Why not first find out how Xiaonan planned to arrange a marriage for his mother and then have his father participate in it?
He believed his father could definitely defeat the competition and win the heart of his beautiful mother.
So, he asked, “Have you thought about how to find a husband for Mother?” “Mother is so beautiful and powerful, she’s the best woman in the world. Of course, she should be matched with the best unmarried man in the world! At the very least, he should be good-looking, have profound cultivation, be wealthy and influential, and most importantly – have a good temper! He should dote on Mother, and of course, both of us too. 1 heard that many stepfathers are bad, so first, he must treat us well, otherwise, there’s a problem with his character, and he can’t marry Mother.”
Feng Yuanxi silently thought: Good looks, cultivation, wealth, and influence, Royal Father checks all those boxes. The only thing left is the temper.
But Royal Father’s recent behavior had been pretty good; he wasn’t harsh at all. He should barely pass, right?
Meanwhile, Gu Xiaonan had no idea what he was thinking. Once he had this idea, he couldn’t control his wandering thoughts.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Suddenly, he sat up, raised his fist and said, “I’ve decided! I’m going to organize a grand martial arts competition to find a husband for Mother!”
Feng Yuanxi, upon hearing this, felt even more reassured.
He had confidence in his Royal Father’s strength.
“What kind of martial arts competition?”
Just at that moment, the door opened, and Gu Qingluan walked in from outside.
“Mother!” Gu Xiaonan heard her voice, looked at her excitedly, and was about to tell her his plan. But when he saw Feng Tianlan following her, all the words he was about to say were swallowed back.
Hmph!
He wouldn’t let this idiot man know!
Otherwise, he would definitely cause trouble!
“Mother, you heard wrong. Yuanxi and 1 agreed to have a martial arts competition and start training early.”
He moved to the edge of the bed, jumped to the floor, and ran towards Gu Qingluan. “Mother, have you finished refining the pills?”
“Yeah, it’s almost done.”
Gu Qingluan had refined thousands of pills in one go. Although their grade wasn’t high, she had managed to refine so many in just half a day. It was simply abnormal, and if word got out, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the continent.
She was also forced to do so.
Fighting was not child’s play.
Once a battle started, the number of casualties wouldn’t be just a few dozen or a few hundred.
This time, the Dingbei Army came prepared and caught Tianjing City off guard. The casualties would be even more severe. All she could do was to contribute her part by providing healing and life-saving pills to the soldiers defending the city.
“I heard you and Yuanxi settled the troublemakers, that’s impressive.”
Gu Xiaonan replied with excitement. “Mother, you know about it too.”
Feng Yuanxi also got off the bed and walked up to her. He looked at the martial attire she was wearing and asked in surprise, “Mother, are you preparing to go out?”
Gu Qingluan changed into a white suit, looking heroic.
“Yes, your father and 1 are going to help at the city gates. You two brothers stay at home. If you encounter danger, hide in the secret chamber, okay?”
“I want to go with Mother! I can fight bad people too!” Gu Xiaonan immediately hugged her leg, afraid she would leave him behind.
Gu Qingluan furrowed her brow and said, “Be good and listen! You’re both still young, and it’s not safe for you to be involved in such situations. Stay at home so 1 can be less worried.”
“Home isn’t safe either. There might be troublemakers again.”
Gu Qingluan hesitated.
This was indeed a problem.
If someone wanted to harm her and took the opportunity to break into the Jun Residence and kidnap Xiaonan and Yuanxi, it would be disastrous.
Feng Yuanxi looked at her with bright eyes. “Mother, if you’re worried, you can let us hide in the Stellar Space.”
That was a good idea.
Without further ado, Gu Qingluan sent her two sons into the Stellar Space.
Then, she left the Jun Residence with Feng Tianlan.
A horse galloped towards them and stopped outside the Jun Residence’s gate.
It was Qitian You!
“What’s going on…” Qitian You was surprised to see them come out.
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “You’re here to let us join the battle, right? Which city gate is under the most pressure?”
“The North Gate.”
“Then let’s go.”
With that, she pointed her toes and flew into the air.
Feng Tianlan followed closely behind.
Qitian You watched their rapidly departing figures and couldn’t help but marvel.
Such incredible speed! Truly befitting of Saints!
He quickly tightened the reins and urged his horse towards the North Gate..
