Gu Qingluan smoothly left the cloak-wearers’ line of sight and entered the teleportation portal.
She exchanged some Xuanling Stones and, in the blink of an eye, returned to Tianjing City.
Gu Qingluan rushed back to her residence,nding at Shallow Clouds Residence.
“Why are you sitting there, Xiaonan?”
Seeing the little figure sitting on the steps in front of the house, Gu Qingluan asked in surprise.
Gu Xiaonan looked up in pleasant surprise, hesitating as he saw the
silver-faced man in front of him. “Mother?”
Gu Qingluan wiped her face with her hand, removing both the silver mask and the human skin mask.
Gu Xiaonan was now sure it was her and joyfully threw himself into her arms.
“Why are you still awake at thiste hour?”
“I was worried about you, Mother, so 1 wanted to wait for you toe back.” Gu Xiaonan said softly and obediently.
Hearing his caring words, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but soften, reaching out to touch his little face. “I’m fine. What about Yuanxi?”
“He’s already asleep.”
Gu Xiaonan understood his mother well. When he learnt that Gu Qingluan went to the ck market, he couldn’t fall asleep and had to wait for her return.
“You should go to sleep too. Children who stay upte won’t grow tall.”
Gu Xiaonan nodded obediently and tugged at her sleeve.
“What’s the matter?”
“Mother, bend down a little.”
Gu Qingluan bent down as he requested, and their eyes met at the same level.
Gu Xiaonan tiptoed and nted a kiss on her forehead. “Mother, please rest early.”
After saying that, he happily went back into the house, carrying Xiaobai with him.
Gu Qingluan was slightly stunned, but after a moment, she chuckled softly.
Where did this little one learn such tricks?
Gu Qingluan went to rest in her room after washing up.
The next day, she was awakened by a child’s tearful voice.
She opened her eyes and saw Yuanxi leaning over the edge of the bed, his eyes red.
“Little Yuanxi, what’s wrong?”
Gu Qingluan’s heart tightened instantly as she sat up.
“Mother, Daddy has gone missing.”
Feng Yuanxi pouted with panic in his eyes.
Gu Qingluan was greatly surprised. She reassured him, “Don’t worry for now. Tell me how you found out he went missing.”
“Uncle Jing Feng said that Father went to the ck market for an auctionst night and hasn’t returned yet, and we can’t contact him either. I tried to sense Father’s location, but I couldn’t sense anything at all. It’s as if he’s disappeared into thin air.”
Feng Tian also went to the ck market for the auction?
Gu Qingluan thought for a moment but couldn’t recall seeing him there.
She spected that he might have changed his appearance as well.
However, it was strange for him not to return after a whole night.
The seal on Shadow Tower had been lifted, so unless something unexpected had happened, he should have returned by now.
“Mother, could Daddy be in danger?” Feng Yuanxi held onto her hand, his eyes filled with helplessness.
While their father was very powerful, it was also the time when his old illness was likely to resurface.
During these times, he couldn’t use his arcane power.
If he encountered enemies now, he would be in great danger.
Gu Qingluan held his small hand in return,forting him gently. “No, he won’t be. Your father is very strong; who could harm him?”
Suddenly, several images of cloak-wearing figures attacking the masked man shed through her mind.
If Feng Tian had also encountered a group of Revered Ones, there might indeed be a danger.
However, she couldn’t say such things in front of her son, for fear of scaring the little one.
Feng Yuanxi blinked his dark eyes. “Really?”
“Absolutely. Perhaps your father is just held up by some other matters. Is he apanied by any of his associates?”
Feng Yuanxi nodded. “Uncle Jingfeng mentioned that Uncle Jingyu went with him, but there’s been no word from Uncle Jingyu either..”
