nThe Gift of the Sunflower Manual

nGu Qingluan was shocked.

nHow did this man know?

nWhat did he want by asking this question?

nCould he have discovered the existence of Xiao Nan?

nBut she didn’t know him, so what did it matter to him whether she had a child or not?

nFor a brief moment, a sense of panic surged within Gu Qingluan, but she managed to control her expression perfectly, raising an eyebrow with a subtle smile. “May I ask what’s your concern?”

nFeng Tianlan scrutinized her, unable to discern any hint of peculiarity from her delicate face.

nCould it not be her?

nIf it wasn’t her, why would she be involved with Yuan Xi? Was it really as simple as a chance encounter?

nBut over all these years, has he ever seen his son treat any woman differently? Within such a short time, Yuan Xi has become so attached to her. It must be this woman who has used some kind of manipulation!

nA fleeting cold gleam flashed in Feng Tianlan’s eyes. “From now on, make sure I never find out that you have any contact with Yuan Xi.”

nGu Qingluan crossed her arms and scoffed. “Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?”

nWith that, she turned and walked away.

nBefore she could take two steps, the man full of hostility flew towards her, his movements swift as lightning. He grabbed her chin tightly in an instant.

nThe man approached her and his cold breath landed on her face. His thin lips parted slightly. “If you dare to get close to him, I’ll kill you.”

nAt that moment, a chilling sensation surged through her body, from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

nHow long had it been since she last experienced this trembling feeling?

nGu Qingluan licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with a cold light. Being threatened was something she despised the most.

nA golden light flickered at her fingertips.

nDelicate as strands of hair, the golden threads swiftly coiled around the man’s body.

nWith a determined thrust, she targeted the man’s abdomen and swiftly retreated.

nFeng Tianlan let out a stifled groan as his body involuntarily convulsed.

nPerched upon the wall, Gu Qingluan looked down upon him with an air of superiority, her long hair dancing in the wind, and a wicked smile playing on her lips. “Ugly man, if you want to go after my life, you’ll need another hundred years of practice!”

nShe maliciously swept her gaze downward and remarked, “If you ever need it, as a favor to you being Yuanxi’s father, I can send you a copy of the Sunflower Manual. Let me know when you’ve mastered it, and I’ll be sure to present you with a string of firecrackers.”

nWith a scornful laugh, she gracefully departed.

nHer white dress fluttered in the night, resembling a white lotus blooming on the water’s surface.

nFeng Tianlan’s face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He wanted to chase after her, but the golden threads tightened around him, leaving him no choice but to watch her disappear into the distance.

nAfter a while, the golden threads released on their own, dissolving into a beam of golden light.

nHe leaped into the air and headed straight for the palace.

n“My lord, you’re back!” Jingfeng noticed that his expression was off and secretly wondered if it was that Gu girl who had angered him.

n“Where is Yuanxi?”

n“He’s in his room.”

nFeng Tianlan strode into Feng Yuanxi’s room.

nHis fingertips hovered in the air.

nFeng Yuanxi jumped off the bed, asking, “Father, what did you do to Sister Beauty?”

nHis father left them after they had departed shortly.

nKnowing his father well, Feng Yuanxi was certain that Father had discovered Beautiful Sister and went back to find her!

n“I killed her!” Feng Tianlan said expressionlessly.

nIt was a shocking news!

nFeng Yuanxi’s eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he fiercely launched himself at his father. “Father, you’re wicked! Why would you kill Beautiful Sister? She saved my life. How could you do that to her?”

nFeng Tianlan allowed his son’s fists to strike him, his gaze icy.

nIt had only been half a day since they met, and already his son’s heart was entangled. If they were given more time together, what would the outcome be?

nWitnessing Yuanxi’s increasing heartbreak as he cried and fought, Feng Tianlan’s heart was struck hard, and he finally softened his tone. “She’s not dead.”

n“Fa… Father, what did you say just now?” Yuanxi raised his tear-stained face, looking at him with joy, his wet eyes shining brightly.

nFeng Tianlan spoke in a deep voice, “She’s not dead, but you can’t see her anymore from now on! Otherwise, I won’t show her any mercy!”

n“Why?” Yuanxi felt deeply wronged.

nHe couldn’t comprehend why his father opposed his connection with Beautiful Sister. Was it simply because Beautiful Sister was a woman?
