Compared to the necklace Feng Yuanxi gave her, his hairpin was dark and not pleasing to the eye. However, he firmly believed that when evaluating things, one should not judge solely by appearances, and this hairpin was definitely not ordinary.
Gu Qingluan infused her divine sense into the hairpin.
Suddenly, a trace of imprint that was accumulating in her mental realm for a long time moved.
Gu Qingluan couldnât help but freeze and slightly widen her eyes.
Before she could react, the hairpin in her hand suddenly lit up.
More precisely, it was the radiant red gemstone embedded on it that emitted a brilliant light, and then a beam of red light shot towards Gu Qingluanâs forehead.
Gu Xiaonan was greatly alarmed, âMother!â
He wanted to stop the red light, but it was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it dove into Gu Qingluanâs head and disappeared without a trace.
Feng Yuanxi was also worried, but he saw that Gu Qingluan didnât display any signs of pain, so he stopped Gu Xiaonan. âMother probably wonât be harmed. Letâs not disturb her.â
Gu Xiaonan calmed down a bit and kept his eyes fixed on Gu Qingluan.
âXiao Bai, are you sure this hairpin wonât harm Mother?â
âChirp chirp!â
Xiao Bai shook its head.
âDefinitely not. How could a mere hairpin harm Mother?â
Feng Yuanxi reassured him with words while keeping a close watch on Gu Qingluan, fearing that something might happen to her.
In fact, everything had happened very quickly, and Gu Qingluan had only been in a daze for a moment.
She blinked and found herself looking into the anxious eyes of two young faces, her heart melting with tenderness.
She smiled and touched their little faces, saying, âIâm fine. Both of you must have worried.â
âMother, what just happened?â
Gu Xiaonan lowered his head to look at the hairpin and noticed that the red gemstone had disappeared, leaving behind a hole. He furrowed his brow in confusion.
This hairpin originally had only the gem to make it somewhat eye-catching, but now it not only lost the red gem but also gained a hole, making it look even more unsightly.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldnât have listened to Xiao Bai and bought this hairpin for Mother.
A mother knows her child best.
Upon seeing Gu Xiaonanâs expression, Gu Qingluan immediately guessed what he was thinking.
Gu Qingluan praised, âThis time, I have to thank Xiaonan. The hairpin you gave me was a big help!â
Gu Xiaonan looked at her in bewilderment. âHuh?â
The children and pets in the carriage were all very surprised.
âIs it related to the red light just now?â Gu Xiaonan asked.
Gu Qingluan nodded, âThatâs right. This hairpin is indeed extraordinary. Itâs not made of ordinary wood; itâs made from the sacred phoenix wood, and the red gemstone embedded on it is a fragment of a phoenix spirit soul. Someone sealed the phoenix spirit soul inside the sacred phoenix wood and made it look old, so no one could sense its extraordinary nature. And that phoenix spirit soul is none other than a part of the spirit soul of my contracted life beast, the Blood Phoenix. Although itâs only a part, itâs already quite impressive. Iâve been searching for it for many years, but I couldnât contact the Blood Phoenix. So this time, itâs all thanks to Xiaonan.â
Gu Xiaonan didnât expect that the gift he gave would actually be of such great help to his mother. He was immediately delighted, his eyes curving with happiness.
If he had a tail, it would surely be wagging joyfully right now.
He patted the little white fox on his leg and didnât take all the credit for himself. âXiao Bai also deserves credit. If it werenât for Xiao Bai telling me, I wouldnât have known how extraordinary it was.â
Xiao Bai, feeling comfortable with Gu Xiaonan petting it, made a few chirping sounds towards Gu Qingluan, as if saying, âItâs what I should do; itâs nothing.â
Gu Qingluan was in a very good mood. âYes, Xiao Bai is also a great contributor. I should reward it properly.â
Upon hearing this, Xiao Baiâs two pointed ears quivered, and its round eyes looked at her with anticipation.
Gu Qingluan was generous and, with a simple motion, took out a bottle of spirit pill from her storage space and gave it to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Baiâs eyes instantly lit up, and it held the bottle containing the spirit pill, hiding it in its embrace.
Gu Qingluan also rewarded Gu Xiaonan.
Of course, since Feng Yuanxi gave her a gift, she reciprocated by giving him a present.
Both adults and children, along with their pets, were very satisfied.
This pleasant atmosphere continued until they reached the gate of the Jun Residence.
âBig Sister, youâre back!â
Gu Qinâer had been waiting outside the Jun Residence for some time. When she saw Gu Qingluan getting off the carriage, her face was filled with joy as she hurriedly approached.
Gu Qingluan hide the smile on her face and asked, âIs Miss Fifth Lady Gu looking for me?â
