Qiu Moyuan knew that Gu Qingluan was the future mistress, so he had someone investigate her. He found out that besides giving birth to a child for the lord, she also had a son.
So, it wasn’t surprising for him to see Yuanxi and Gu Xiaonan.
Considering the children’s interests, he suggested, “Crimson Flame City is adjacent to the Death Mountain Range, with frequent traffic of people, including a large number of mercenaries and traders from various countries. You can go to the West City’s mutual market; it’s the largest market in the city. If you’re going, I’ll have a carriage prepared for you, and it will take about half an hour to get there.”
Feng Tianlan nodded.
Qiu Moyuan immediately went to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the mutual market in the West City.
Noise and commotion poured in from all directions.
The family of four opened the carriage curtains and got off one by one.
The scene was bustling and lively.
Gu Qingluan said, “Master Qiu is indeed capable. Just a few days after encountering such a ma.s.sive beast tide, the city has already recovered to this extent. No wonder Crimson Flame City has been developing so well in recent years.”
Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow. “Beast tide?”
Gu Qingluan was about to speak when suddenly an excited burly man rushed over.
Feng Tianlan pulled Gu Qingluan behind him, his gaze coldly fixed on the man.
The burly man, feeling the pressure from his icy eyes, involuntarily took a step back, wearing a smile as he explained, “Please don’t misunderstand, sir. I was just too excited to see Miss Gu. I didn’t mean to offend.”
Gu Qingluan recognized the man as one of the mercenaries who had defended the city with her that day. She tugged at Feng Tianlan’s sleeve.
Feng Tianlan’s cold aura softened slightly, and he looked at her. “Did something happen a few days ago?”
The burly man, sensing their close relationship, didn’t mind and said loudly, “Haven’t you heard? A few days ago, Crimson Flame City faced an unprecedented beast tide, but the Guardian Princess single-handedly repelled the beast tide, saving the entire city.”
His voice was loud, attracting quite a few people.
Everyone was thrilled to learn that the Guardian Princess who had saved them was here. They gathered around.
“The Guardian Princess is our savior!”
“We never expected Guardian Princess, who not only possesses profound cultivation but also a compa.s.sionate heart, to be so beautiful! We regret not seeing her true appearance that day. It’s a blessing to meet her today. It must be the blessing of our ancestors!”
“Emperor Xuanzong made a wise decision. Only someone like the Guardian Princess, who cares for the people, would be concerned about our lives and protect us with all her might.”
“Yes, with the Guardian Princess here, we feel so safe!”
The crowd praised Gu Qingluan endlessly.
Feng Tianlan and his two sons finally pieced together what extraordinary deeds she had done behind their backs.
The father and sons all felt a sense of honor.
Feng Tianlan cast a deep glance at Gu Qingluan.
She always managed to surprise him time and time again.
However, this disaster in Crimson Flame City was caused by him.
He was happy that she had garnered the love and admiration of so many people, but he also felt guilty for bringing her trouble and even danger.
If he were stronger, she wouldn’t have to work so hard.
Feng Tianlan pondered how to become stronger quickly so that she could live freely under his protection.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi didn’t think so deeply; they simply thought their mother was amazing! She truly was an extraordinary woman who combined beauty and strength!
They looked at her with admiring eyes.
And the crowd continued to gather around.
“Guardian Princess, are you here to shop at the mutual market? If you see something you like, we’ll give it to you directly.”
“Guardian Princess, these are herbs I just collected from the Death Mountain Range yesterday. Please accept them as a token of our grat.i.tude for your great kindness.”
“Guardian Princess…”
Gu Qingluan protected her sons, preventing them from being jostled by the crowd, and raised her voice, “No need to be so polite, everyone. 1 just did what any normal person would do. Please take your belongings back.”
In this situation, they couldn’t continue strolling through the streets.
She held her sons’ hands and quickly made her escape..
