    Qitian Yu’s heart was filled with embarrassment and annoyance as he cursed Gu Qingluan’s ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.


    Suddenly, a de of sound from a qin attacked.


    Qitian Yu’s movements were sluggish, failing to evade the strike, and he was blown away.


    Gu Qingluan retrieved the Heavenly Heart Qin, descending from the roof gracefully like a swift swallow.


    “Mother!” Feng Yuanxi rushed towards her, his little face flushed, and his bright eyes sparkled with excitement.


    The icy demeanor on Gu Qingluan’s face instantly melted into a warm smile. She opened her arms and embraced her son.


    “Yuanxi, are you okay? Are you hurt?”


    Feng Yuanxi shook his head, “No, thanks to Mother’s timely arrival. Mother, you’re amazing!”


    He looked at her with admiration, his eyes gleaming.


    Gu Qingluan suppressed augh. “Yuanxi is amazing too!”


    Mother and sonplimented each other, leaving Feng Tian on the sidelines.


    Feng Tian didn’t feel left out. He looked at the mother and son embracing each other, and for the first time, he found such a scene not displeasing.


    “You stand beside your father first, and let Mother avenge you!”


    After a brief moment of tenderness, Gu Qingluan pulled Feng Yuanxi out of her embrace.


    Feng Yuanxi left her fragrant embrace, his eyes revealing reluctance. He obediently nodded.


    Gu Qingluan soared into the air,nding next to Qitian Yu. She grabbed the back of his clothes, then turned around and flew back.


    Smack!


    She threw Qitian Yu onto the ground as if tossing a sandbag.


    Qitian Yu groaned, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.


    “Gu Qingluan, what… what do you n to do?”


    Clutching his injured thigh, he struggled to move backward.


    Gu Qingluan’s lips twitched into a half-smile as she said with a touch of mockery, “You were just thinking of using my son as a sacrifice? Well then, I’ll use you as an offering to the heavens!”


    “You dare! I am the esteemed Fifth Prince! Do you not realize that killing a prince is equivalent to annihting a whole lineage?” Qitian Yu’s heart trembled with utmost fear, and he hastily threatened, his voiceden with panic.


    Gu Qingluan casually hooked a strand of hair that fell before her chest with her finger, herughter carrying a hint of nonchnce. “Do you take me for a fool? In the current court, where does such a charge evene from?”


    Qitian Yu’s eyes darted around anxiously, trying to find a chance to escape.


    Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he looked incredulously at Feng Tian and Feng Yuanxi not far away.


    “Mr. Lan? How did you end up here? And that child… isn’t he Gu Xiaonan?”


    Although Qitian Yu was unsure of Feng Tian’s identity, he knew that the other party had a significant background. Even his father showed deference to him. Such a person was not someone he could afford to offend.


    And the boy standing next to Feng Tian… clearly he was Mr. Lan’s son! If he weren’t mistaken, the little boy’s attire was unmistakably that of Gu Xiaonan.


    Could it be that he had captured the wrong person from the beginning?


    Qitian Yu was a mixture of shock and anger.


    He realized he hadn’t only offended Gu Qingluan; he had also offended the remarkable Mr. Lan!


    Recalling the numerous people from his mansion who had surrounded the boy earlier, and how Yan the Old Ghost had even used the Soul-Stealing Banner to try to capture the child’s soul, he trembled uncontrobly.


    How could this be happening!


    Damn it, it was his subordinates’ fault for not rifying the identity and recklessly bringing someone into the mansion!


    His mind raced, and Qitian Yu’s thoughts quickly ran through numerous potential scenarios.


    He understood that Gu Qingluan was ruthless, and it was unlikely she would show mercy now. If he wanted a chance to survive, he could only plead with Mr. Lan.


    In a split second, Qitian Yu made a decision. He got up and kowtowed to Feng Tian, “Mr. Lan, I am the Fifth Prince of the Chengyuan Kingdom, Qitian Yu! This is all a misunderstanding; I had no intention to harm your son. It was a mistake made by my subordinates, who wrongly captured your son. Please, Mr. Lan, spare me this once, for the sake of the Chengyuan Kingdom and my father’s dignity..”
