Gu Qingluan suppressed her reluctance and said, “When 1 have the time, 1’11 come to find you.”
“Really?” Feng Yuanxi looked up from her embrace.
“Yes, just give me your address. Once I’ve finished dealing with matters here in Tianjing, 1’11 take Xiaonan with me to Qiankun Academy. Qiankun Academy is in the Holy Heaven Dynasty, and it might not be far from your home.”
Feng Yuanxi’s lips curled into a smile. “Sure, it’s not far. My home is…”
“Ahem Ahem!” Jing Feng coughed heavily, interrupting Feng Yuanxi.
The young master and his master had used false identities when they came to the Chengyuan Kingdom. Aside from Emperor Chengyuan and the Crown Prince, no one else knew their true identities.
Revealing their identities to outsiders could attract unwelcome attention.
Feng Yuanxi glanced at Jing Feng with a casual look. “Beautiful Sister isn’t an outsider.”
That one glance bore a striking resemblance to Feng Tianlan’s astonishing gaze.
Jing Feng felt his scalp tingle with an absurd notion.
Managing Feng Yuanxi was proving to be quite a challenge.
Yet, Feng Yuanxi refrained from disclosing the exact location of his residence. Not because he doubted Gu Qingluan’s trustworthiness, but due to the complex web of relationships and deceitful individuals surrounding his household. He didn’t want their influence to tarnish Beautiful Sister’s perception.
“Beautiful Sister, will both you and Xiaonan be attending Qiankun Academy?”
“Yes!” Gu Qingluan nodded. She wasn’t surprised by Jing Feng’s earlier interruption, nor was she angered by it. She understood his responsibilities.
Jing Feng couldn’t help but glance sideways.
It was certain that Gu Xiaonan would attend Qiankun Academy. As one of the top three in the selection competition and being so young, Qiankun Academy wouldn’t miss the chance to admit such an outstanding student.
But Gu Qingluan…
Qiankun Academy wasn’t somewhere one could enter based solely on natural talent. Except for a very few special admissions, everyone else needed to participate in selection competitions or entrance exams.
Gu Qingluan hadn’t participated in the selection competition and wasn’t eligible for the entrance exam. She couldn’t enter Qiankun Academy.
At Qiankun Academy, regardless of your origins in prestigious sects or noble families, once you became a student, you were simply a student. No personal attendants were permitted, let alone the inclusion of family members.
At that time, only Gu Xiaonan could enter by himself.
Jing Feng considered whether he should remind her.
Meanwhile, Feng Yuanxi joyfully raised his eyebrows. “That’s great! In a while, 1’11 have my father send me to the academy. Then I’ll be able to see Beautiful Sister and Xiaonan!”
Jing Feng’s attention was immediately drawn.
The young master was going to the academy?
Was that what he understood?
Before, the academy’s dean had repeatedly come to their doorstep, inviting the young master to join the academy. The young master had ignored them every time. Now he actually intended to enroll?
Gu Qingluan wasn’t surprised.
Feng Yuanxi was so clever and powerful that he was definitely qualified for the academy.
“Alright, we’ll meet at Qiankun Academy then!”
Feng Yuanxi nodded eagerly.
As they chatted, the sky gradually darkened.
Gu Qingluan invited Feng Yuanxi to stay for dinner, and not long after the meal, he left with Jing Feng.
Before parting, Gu Qingluan handed him a wooden box.
“Is this for me?” Feng Yuanxi asked, surprised. His young face was flushed, his eyes shining.
“Yes, time was short, and 1 couldn’t prepare much. I’ve selected a few elixirs that 1 personally refined during my free time to give to you. I’m not sure if you’ll like them.”
“I like them! As long as they’re from Beautiful Sister, 1 like them!” Feng Yuanxi immediately took it, hugging the box tightly to his chest.
It wasn’t just a gift from Beautiful Sister, it was a gift she had “made” herself. It was incredibly precious.
Jing Feng stood nearby, shaking his head with a sigh.
The young master’s infatuation with Gu Qingluan was so strong that he overlooked the fact that a handful of elixirs paled in comparison to the abundance of treasures he had gifted her in over a dozen boxes..
