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

Jingfeng closed the door and approached Feng Tianlan to explain, “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 remained composed.

However, a slight furrow appeared on Feng Tianlan’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 a.s.sumed his mother might be nearby?

Feng Tianlan’s expression grew slightly somber.

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

During a visit to Chengyuan Kingdom for business, he pa.s.sed 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 Tianlan followed the beasts, only to discover a bundle surrounded by them.

Within the bundle lay a newborn baby.

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

His own unique const.i.tution 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 Tianlan’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 Tianlan found Yuanxi, there was a woman by his side who claimed 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 Tianlan concealed the truth and only told his son that his mother had pa.s.sed away.

He didn’t know where that woman was now and had no intention of letting her come 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 flashed in Feng Tianlan’s eyes.

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

“Yuanxi, come 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 glanced and replied, “I don’t particularly have any preferences. Father, you go ahead and look. I’ll play with Xiao Bai.”

Feng Tianlan observed his son, sensing his hesitation.

“Is there anything else, Father?”

Feng Tianlan shook his head.

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

Seeing this, Feng Tianlan had no choice but to temporarily s.h.i.+ft his attention back to the auction.

Two items had been successfully 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 Tianlan. Having seen many remarkable things before, he had come to this auction specifically for the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills from the Island of No Return.

That day, Feng Tianlan accompanied the Crown Prince of Chengyuan Kingdom in an attempt to meet with Mr. Liu. However, their request was unsuccessful, and they were denied an audience. As a result, Feng Tianlan had no alternative but to take part in the auction to compete 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 st.u.r.dy, impervious to water and fire. Even divine weapons cannot leave a mark on it. This auction item has been cla.s.sified as a Fourth-Grade item, starting at a hundred pieces of Xuanling Stones. If any esteemed guests are interested, you are welcome to bid and take a closer look.”

The Lus.h.i.+ Auction House categorized its items from First to Ninth Grade, with the starting price increasing accordingly.

Fourth-Grade auction items were relatively common in the Lus.h.i.+ Auction House.

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

It was a fist-sized black 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 flames?”

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

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 black 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’s composure faltered, and she rose from her seat upon seeing the black stone on the raised platform..
