    Feng Tian turned his gaze towards Gu Xiaonan and then raised his head, silently seeking rification from Jingfeng.


    Jingfeng closed the door and approached Feng Tian to exin, “Earlier, the young master followed Xiao Bai and said he wanted to find his mother.”


    This wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened, so Jingfeng remainedposed.


    However, a slight furrow appeared on Feng Tian’s brow.


    Previously, Yuanxi rarely sought out his mother, but since they arrived in Tianjing, he had run off multiple times in search of her.


    Could it be because Yuanxi was born here that he assumed his mother might be nearby?


    Feng Tian’s expression grew slightly somber.


    Memories flooded back to the first time heid eyes on his son.


    During a visit to Chengyuan Kingdom for business, he passed through a dense forest near Tianjing. There, he sensed unusual activity as numerous wild beasts rushed in a specific direction.


    The sensation seemed to emanate from a familiar source.


    Driven by curiosity, Feng Tian followed the beasts, only to discover a bundle surrounded by them.


    Within the bundley a newborn baby.


    With just one nce, Feng Tian recognized the child’s connection to him through their shared bloodline.


    His own unique constitution allowed him to sense such familial ties.


    Additionally, the child possessed purple irises, identical to his own.


    Surprisingly, the beasts did not attack the infant, likely recognizing the powerful lineage within their blood.


    Filled with immense joy upon confirming the child as his own, Feng Tian’s thoughts turned to the child’s mother…


    He felt no affection for her. In fact, he harbored a deep sense of aversion.


    When he arrived in Chengyuan Kingdom, his pre-existing illness had recurred, making him unable to move freely. During that time, an unknown woman had forced herself upon him. When he woke up, he couldn’t find that woman anymore.


    When Feng Tian found Yuanxi, there was a woman by his side who imed to have found Yuanxi. She believed that the wild beasts intended to harm the child.


    In other words, that despicable woman not only abandoned her own son but also threw him into a pack of wild beasts, intending to kill him!


    Afraid that it would hurt Yuanxi, Feng Tian concealed the truth and only told his son that his mother had passed away.


    He didn’t know where that woman was now and had no intention of letting here near Yuanxi.


    A woman so heartless and cruel did not deserve to be Yuanxi’s mother!


    If she were to appear before him, he would not hesitate to deal with her. He would never let her disturb Yuanxi!


    A cold glint shed in Feng Tian’s eyes.


    His gaze then fell upon his son, and warmth filled his heart.


    “Yuanxi,e here,” he called.


    Gu Xiaonan looked puzzled, watching Xiao Bai’s gestures.


    Upon hearing his father’s call, Xiaonan obediently walked over.


    “What’s the matter, Father?”


    “The auction has started. See if there’s anything you like.”


    Gu Xiaonan casually nced and replied, “I don’t particrly have any preferences. Father, you go ahead and look. I’ll y with Xiao Bai.”


    Feng Tian observed his son, sensing his hesitation.


    “Is there anything else, Father?”


    Feng Tian shook his head.


    “No, then I’ll y with Xiao Bai!” Gu Xiaonan held Xiao Bai and found a chair to sit on.


    Seeing this, Feng Tian had no choice but to temporarily shift his attention back to the auction.


    Two items had been sessfully auctioned off in a row, and the atmosphere in the room was buzzing with excitement.


    However, most of the auction items seemed ordinary to Feng Tian. Having seen many remarkable things before, he hade to this auction specifically for the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills from the Ind of No Return.


    That day, Feng Tian apanied the Crown Prince of Chengyuan Kingdom in an attempt to meet with Mr. Liu. However, their request was unsessful, and they were denied an audience. As a result, Feng Tian had no alternative but to take part in the auction topete for the Fourth-Grade item, the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills.


    “Next up is a very unique auction item. Our appraiser has determined that it is a meteorite, but unlike typical meteorites, its surface is extremely sturdy, impervious to water and fire. Even divine weapons cannot leave a mark on it. This auction item has been ssified as a Fourth-Grade item, starting at a hundred pieces of Xuanling Stones. If any esteemed guests are interested, you are wee to bid and take a closer look.”


    The Lushi Auction House categorized its items from First to Ninth Grade, with the starting price increasing ordingly.


    Fourth-Grade auction items were rtivelymon in the Lushi Auction House.


    As Lu Yao spoke, she pulled away the red cloth covering the item on the tform, revealing its contents.


    It was a fist-sized ck stone that appeared unremarkable on the surface. If thrown on the ground, it would probably go unnoticed as an ordinary stone. Guests in the audience asked, “Is it impervious to all types of fire? What about heavenly mes?”


    Lu Yao smiled faintly, “Indeed, it cannot be melted even by heavenly mes.”


    The audience members inquired, “Is it resistant even to the cutting of divine artifacts?”


    “That’s right!”


    “That is indeed a remarkably hard stone!”


    “But if we can’t break it down and refine it, what practical purpose does it serve? Are we meant to bring it home as a mere decoration? There’s no need to worry about damage or thieves attempting to steal this inconspicuous ck object!”


    “Ha ha ha, then what’s the point of buying it? Is money no longer a concern?”


    Meanwhile, in the VIP room on the third floor, Gu Qingluan’sposure faltered, and she rose from her seat upon seeing the ck stone on the raised tform..
