Gu Xiaonan said, “I feel like she’s a bit strange.”
At this moment, Feng Yuanxi chimed in, “I feel the same.”
They both had the bloodline of the Phoenix, which meant they had a keen instinct.
Both of the little ones instinctively concealed the fact that they had seen the sword.
Xiao Bai, on the other hand, had a simpler perspective.
It would answer in line with its young master’s response.
Facing the girl named Bai, Gu Qingluan also felt a slight sense of strangeness.
She hadn’t expected that both of her sons would have similar feelings.
So she asked, “What’s strange about her?”
Gu Xiaonan replied, “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I don’t really like the aura around her.”
Feng Yuanxi agreed, nodding along.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai also nodded.
Gu Qingluan found the sight of the two little boys and the little fox nodding together quite adorable and couldn’t resist reaching out to pat their heads.
“Even so, this sword originally belonged to someone else. We shouldn’t just take it for ourselves.”
“But we found it, and the man is already dead, so the sword has no owner now,” Gu Xiaonan said, not understanding why they couldn’t take it.
“That’s true in a way, but if Miss Bai’s words are true, how can we take advantage of someone else’s desire? For sword cultivators, their swords are like their wives. 1 believe that if that man were still conscious, he would hope that his sword would rest with him in his eternal slumber. Furthermore, what if this sword doesn’t belong to him but to his family? If he has family members, we should return the sword to them.”
It wasn’t that Gu Qingluan had a particularly kind heart.
In the Tianjing Continent, actions like treasure hunting were not generally frowned upon.
It was just that she wanted to teach her son that they shouldn’t take advantage of every opportunity that came their way.
Not knowing was one thing, but since it now involved the deceased knowing other people, Gu Qingluan wanted to take this opportunity to give Xiaonan a good lesson.
In the past, on the Island of No Return, Xiaonan had very limited exposure to people and events.
She noticed that sometimes his thoughts could be dangerous.
“Alright, but let’s not give the sword to the woman in the blue dress. 1 think she wants it too,” Gu Xiaonan agreed after being convinced by Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan smiled and patted his head. “Okay.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Bo He’s voice followed immediately.
“Madam, the hot water is ready.”
Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “Let’s put that aside for now. Both of you take a good bath and soak in the hot water.”
After giving her two sons a bath and dressing them in clean clothes, Gu Qingluan looked at their nearly identical little faces. Her heart was filled with warmth, and at this moment, she felt truly content.
“You don’t have to wear masks now. We’ve left Tianjing, and no one here knows you.”
Looking at the freshly flushed, tender faces in front of her, Gu Qingluan couldn’t resist rubbing their heads.
Just as she had imagined, their skin was smooth and soft, just like peeled-boiled eggs.
The two little ones exchanged glances and then nodded together.
“Being away from home, having an extra face is an extra layer of insurance.”
Hearing Gu Xiaonan’s solemn words, Gu Qingluan gave him a sidelong glance and asked, “Where did you hear that?”
“I and Yuanxi look too good; they say beauty can bring disaster. Since we look so good, won’t we bring about a big natural disaster? Let’s not harm others with our looks.”
Gu Qingluan chuckled at his quirky logic. “That’s twisted!”
“Alright, if you want to wear masks, wear them back.”
Gu Qingluan actually did not want her sons to attract too much attention.
The little ones wearing masks were already eye-catching enough, and their true faces would definitely bring more impact. One identical face was enough to cause a stir, but two would undoubtedly draw a lot of attention.
Especially when they reached the Qiankun Academy, Feng Yuanxi’s identity would be hard to conceal, and Gu Xiaonan might also attract too much notice.
With an enemy lurking there, Gu Qingluan didn’t want Gu Lingxue to focus on them.
After her sons put on their masks, she took them out.
They ran into Feng Tianlan on their way downstairs, and they all went down together.
The inn had prepared dinner for them, and they sat around a table.
Everyone enjoyed a hearty meal, seemingly forgetting that they had unearthed a corpse not far from the inn.
After dinner, Gu Qingluan noticed that Feng Tianlan had something to discuss, so she asked Elder Wei to keep an eye on Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi while she went inside with Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan spoke calmly, “What the woman said is true. Yeyu City has been restless lately..”
