Gu Jinrong still hesitated.
Gu Jinyue urged him, “Don’t you want revenge? Think about it, we were both disfigured and disabled all because of them, that mother and son! Now they’re on the rise, and with Uncle unwilling to intervene, when will we get our revenge? Uncle may speak kindly, but with Gu Qingluan’s abilities, even if we wait another ten years, I’m afraid Uncle won’t be able to deal with her. If that’s the case, why not take this opportunity to strike? If that illegitimate child is crippled, it will hurt Gu Qingluan more than if we harm her directly!”
“This poison won’t be lethal, so don’t worry. Would I, as your younger sister, harm you?”
Gu Jinrong was swayed by her words.
The hatred from the past was still vivid in his mind.
Gu Qingluan was a Saint, and unless there was an accident, he couldn’t shake her.
Her weakness was her son, but he rarely had a chance to do anything himself. Today, however, presented a golden opportunity!
He quickly took the poison and concealed it in his sleeve.
Gu Jinyue’s face was elated as she gazed at Gu Qingluan walking slowly towards them, silently thinking, “Gu Qingluan, let’s see if that smile of yours will still last!”
At the entrance of the martial arena, Feng Tianlan entered with Feng Yuanxi.
Feng Yuanxi widened his eyes as he looked around, searching for the figure of his beautiful sister.
Not long after, he spotted a particularly eye-catching figure.
His eyes brightened, and he shook off Feng Tianlan’s hand, saying, “Daddy, I’m going to play with Xiaonan!”
Without waiting for Feng Tianlan’s consent, he dashed toward Gu Qingluan.
Feng Tianlan’s face darkened.
How could he not know who his son truly wanted to find?
This little guy was usually quite clever, so why couldn’t he see through that woman’s scheme?
Jing Feng felt the chilling aura emanating from Feng Tianlan and shrank his neck. “Master, I’ll go protect Young Master!”
Then he hurriedly chased after Feng Yuanxi.
It was safer to stay by Young Master’s side.
Feng Tianlan, now a lonely individual, stood expressionlessly in place, his narrow phoenix eyes gazing darkly in a certain direction.
Qi Tianyou stood not far away, uncertain whether to approach or not.
This master seemed to have a bad temper recently.
On the spectator’s stand, as soon as Gu Qingluan sat down, she felt an intense, scorching gaze. She looked up and saw the sc.u.mbag staring at her as if wanting to devour her.
What had she done to provoke him?
He was crazy!
Gu Qingluan scoffed lightly, turning her head away, refusing to pay him any attention.
It wasn’t until Feng Yuanxi came over that Gu Qingluan understood the meaning behind the sc.u.mbag’s gaze.
Naturally, she wouldn’t blame Feng Yuanxi for it.
He was the one who promised Feng Yuanxi that he could find her, so if he wasn’t happy, he could only blame himself.
Seeing Feng Yuanxi standing beside Gu Qingluan, having a close relationship with her, the Gu family members were astonished and curious about his ident.i.ty.
However, Gu Qingluan made no attempt to introduce him, and they couldn’t dig up any information themselves.
Soon, everyone’s attention shifted away from Feng Yuanxi.
The selection tournament began!
The first round was a draw-based compet.i.tion, where contestants faced off against each other.
Out of a hundred partic.i.p.ants, one didn’t show up, making Gu Xiaonan the lucky one who advanced to the next round without a fight.
The venue was s.p.a.cious enough, divided into ten smaller arenas.
The first round of the compet.i.tion quickly concluded.
Then came the second round.
When Gu Xiaonan took the stage, the entire arena erupted in murmurs.
After all, such a young partic.i.p.ant was unheard of!
The spectators were lively on the stands.
When Gu Xiaonan’s opponent saw him, he was also speechless, wondering if there was a mistake.
“Little kid, you’ve come to the wrong place. This isn’t where you should be..”
