Gu Zhicheng was taken aback. “Xiaobai is…”

Gu Xiaonan reached out and patted the little white fox in his arms. “This is Xiaobai! Xiaobai, say h.e.l.lo to Grandpa.”

The little white fox lazily waved its paw in response.

To give his cherished jade to a mere animal?

What would that make him?

Gu Zhicheng’s mouth twitched.

“Is it not allowed?” Gu Xiaonan frowned, his little face showing disappointment.

To appease Gu Qingluan and her son, he had already gone to great lengths, even giving away the precious jade. Should he now jeopardize everything because of a simple request?

Of course not!

Gu Zhicheng forced a smile and said, “1 gave you the jade, so you’re its owner. You can give it to anyone you like.”

“Wow, that’s great! Thank you, Grandpa.”

Gu Xiaonan cheered and then put the black string attached to the jade around the little white fox’s neck.

To think that such an invaluable treasure ended up being used as a pet accessory.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ couldn’t even maintain her smile anymore.

Gu Zhicheng also felt mentally exhausted dealing with this child. He was afraid the boy might come up with another outrageous request. He said, “You’ve been here for quite a while, you must be tired. Why don’t you rest in the guest rooms for now, and I’ll call you over for the banquet later.”

Everyone agreed.

So, Gu Zhicheng had someone show them to the guest rooms.

The Gu family had just moved back here, so there were no rooms prepared for Gu Qingluan. They would have to stay in the guest rooms for now.

After sending them away, Gu Zhicheng felt relieved.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ immediately said sourly, “You are so good to this mother and son. You even let them use the jade as a pet pendant.”

Gu Zhicheng snorted in anger. “Do you think I wanted to? If it weren’t for Qingluan’s outstanding talent, becoming a Saint at such a young age, would I tolerate her unruliness?”

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ sneered. “Lingxue is no less talented than her. When I visited her at the Qiankun Academy, she was already at the ninth stage of the Heavenly Realm. Her master said he would find her top-tier treasures for her advancement to the Saint Realm. Does she not compare favorably to that brat? Lingxue has always been filial to you, devoted to the Gu family. Just look at Qingluan’s recent actions. Don’t raise a wolf in sheep’s clothing for yourself.”

“It’s not just because she’s a Saint. I value the backing of the Island of No Return behind her! If we can connect with the Island of No Return, Lingxue only needs a Universe Stabilizer to advance to the Saint Realm. Why should we bother searching for treasures?” Gu Zhicheng explained.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was taken aback, “So, that’s your plan. It seems I misjudged you.”

“Just know your place, and don’t provoke that girl and her son before we establish a connection with the Island of No Return. Don’t cause any more problems for me!” Gu Zhicheng warned.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ nodded submissively, “Do you still doubt me? As long as I understand the interests involved, I won’t act recklessly.”

On this point, Gu Zhicheng did trust her.

Over the past twenty years, this was the one aspect of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ that he appreciated the most.

After reminding w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, Gu Zhicheng went outside the hall and also gave some instructions to the people waiting outside.

No one dared to defy his orders.

However, now that they knew Gu Zhicheng was only pretending to be good to Gu Qingluan, everyone felt relieved.

Once Gu Qingluan lost her usefulness, they could deal with her.

At the backyard.

Servants led Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan to a quaint guest building.

Gu Qingluan dismissed the servants.

Curious, Gu Xiaonan asked, “Mother, why did you come back?”
