Ordinary households spent only a few dozen silver taels in a year.
Ten Xuanling Crystal Hearts were worth more than the entire fortune of many wealthy families!
“Mother, I didn’t lie to you. I really earned the money to buy it,” Gu Xiaonan pouted, feeling wronged.
“Alright, then tell me, how did you earn the money?” Gu Qingluan demanded.
“I… I…”
“Gu Xiaonan! Tell the truth!” Gu Qingluan’s voice became stern.
Gu Xiaonan’s small body trembled, tears welling up in his eyes. “I earned it by selling spirit pills.”
He didn’t dare mention being the son of the Great Demon King, or his mother would be even angrier.
Gu Qingluan was taken aback. “Selling spirit pills?”
“Yes, I sold the pills I refined to others. They love them when they hear they’re pills from the Island of No Return.”
Gu Xiaonan pondered, deciding to give the pills to Feng Yuanxi tomorrow. That way, it wouldn’t be a lie, would it?
“Is it true?” Gu Qingluan’s expression eased slightly.
“Yes, Mother, are you still angry with me?” Gu Xiaonan cautiously looked at her.
Gu Qingluan gently touched his little face. “I’m sorry. I got angry without understanding the situation. Did I scare you?”
Gu Xiaonan shook his head. “I know you’re worried I might go astray. Mother, you’re doing it for my own good.”
“You clever little devil,” Gu Qingluan pinched his soft cheek and smiled again.
Gu Xiaonan smiled too, secretly relieved.
Thank goodness Mother believed him; otherwise…
Gu Qingluan took out the Heavenly Heart Qin and ran her fingers lightly across the strings.
This was indeed a good qin. The body of the qin was smooth and glossy, radiating a l.u.s.trous l.u.s.ter. The sensation on her fingertips was extremely comfortable.
“Mother, try it,” Gu Xiaonan urged.
Gu Qingluan curved her fingers and plucked a short melody on the strings.
The beautiful sound of the qin resonated along with the trembling of the strings.
Gu Xiaonan propped his chin on his hands and listened intently.
The fish in the small pond in the courtyard forgot to swim, and the birds in the sky perched on the roofs and treetops…
Even the servants outside the courtyard involuntarily stopped to listen.
The sound of the qin carried far.
However, the estate of the Jun Family was vast, and by the time the sound reached outside the estate, it was already faint. Nearby people could only vaguely hear the sound of the qin.
They also closed their eyes to enjoy the wonderful qin music.
After playing a short piece, Gu Qingluan stopped.
Gu Xiaonan applauded enthusiastically. “Mother, you’re amazing!”
Gu Qingluan’s lips curled into a smile, satisfied with the qin. She couldn’t help but play with it lovingly. “Thank you, my son. I really like it.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaonan’s face lit up with a radiant smile.
“Mother, this is a sacred-grade artifact. If you drip a drop of your blood on it, it will recognize you as its master and can be stored in the realm of your mind, making it unstealable by others.”
Following his suggestion, Gu Qingluan dripped her blood onto the qin.
The fresh red blood fell onto the silver-white qin body and immediately seeped inside.
At the same time, the Heavenly Heart Qin emitted a dazzling white light.
In Gu Qingluan’s realm of the mind, an image of the Heavenly Heart Qin appeared.
After a successful contract, she became mentally connected with the Heavenly Heart Qin and understood its power. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
This Heavenly Heart Qin could actually influence a person’s consciousness, giving a significant advantage in battles, especially in group battles. It was practically the most powerful cheat!
Gu Qingluan plucked the string with her thumb.
A resounding sound and a flash of white light followed.
Immediately after, the nearby tree trunk was severed, startling the birds perched on the treetops, causing them to fly into the sky together.
Gu Xiaonan’s mouth formed an “0” shape in astonishment.
Gu Qingluan smiled, satisfied with the outcome.
“Mother, you’re so amazing!” Gu Xiaonan snapped back to reality and started showering her with praises.
Gu Qingluan didn’t know how to respond to her son’s exaggerated compliments.
Gu Xiaonan had a sudden idea. “If such an amazing qin accompanies me while I sing, it would definitely be a powerful combination. Why don’t I sing a song and you play the qin, Mother?”
Gu Qingluan’s smile froze for a moment.
Thinking of her son’s singing ability that most people couldn’t appreciate, she felt it was unnecessary.
She quickly put away the qin and patted her son’s shoulder. “Your singing ability is extraordinary. Save it for crucial moments..”
