“You didn’t know about this? The one in black is called Gu Xiaonan, he’s the son of the Guardian Princess, incredibly bright for his age. He’s only five years old but won in the selection tournament, and he’s about to start studying at Qiankun Academy. As for the child in white, he’s also exceptional. I don’t know his exact background, but 1 had the fortune of seeing him at the tournament. Even the Crown Prince showed great respect to him. I wonder which prominent sect he comes from.”
In the Cloud Plains Continent, martial prowess held a high status, and some top sects even surpassed the influence of the nation.
The power structure in all of Cloud Plains could be summarized as one city, one dynasty, two palaces, three nations, and four sects.
One city referred to Cloud Central City, one dynasty was the Holy Heaven Dynasty, two palaces were the Azure Sea Palace and the Glacial Ice Palace, three nations included Chengyuan, Dingyang, and Nanqing, and the four sects were prominent martial sects.
Above the Chongyang Kingdom, there were both royal dynasties and renowned orthodox sects.
People who understood the significance of knowing someone more esteemed than the Crown Prince suddenly realized, “I see! No wonder she’s the Guardian Princess; she can associate with such prestigious individuals!”
Gu Qingluan spoke loudly, “My two children are concerned that there are impoverished people in the city who can’t afford food and medical care. They organized this charity event specifically for them. Please, those not in need, step aside and don’t obstruct those who require assistance.”
The onlookers willingly moved to the outskirts upon hearing her words.
Some who paid attention to the first half of her statement were left puzzled.
“The Guardian Princess’s two children? Did 1 hear wrong or misunderstand something? Wasn’t the Guardian Princess supposed to have only one son?”
“Well, maybe we misunderstood.”
While Gu Qingluan held Feng Yuanxi’s hand, his eyes widened as he heard what Gu Qingluan openly revealed to everyone. He quickly tilted his small face upward to look at her.
Gu Qingluan happened to be looking down, smiling at him.
“Mother?”
Feng Yuanxi’s watery eyes sparkled.
Just a moment ago, he had heard those people discussing his identity.
They didn’t know he was his mother’s son, and it was false to say that he didn’t feel sad about it.
He also wanted to be openly recognized as his mother’s son but didn’t want to trouble her. He was afraid that revealing his identity would lead to misunderstandings about her.
Usually, they only called each other in private.
Unexpectedly, his mother had spoken it out loud herself, whether by accident or…
“You are my son, there’s nothing to hide. I wish I could announce it to the world that I have such an incredibly clever and obedient son.” Gu Qingluan squeezed his little hand, her eyes radiating a gentle light.
Then, she lifted her head to face everyone. “Well, everyone knows 1 have a son named Gu Xiaonan, but you may not know that 1 also have another son, Feng Yuanxi, my biological son. Today’s charity porridge event was his idea. Come on, Yuanxi, say hello to everyone.”
She cast an encouraging look towards Feng Yuanxi.
Revealing Yuanxi’s identity as her son to the public meant potential risks, as anyone with ill intentions could target him.
However, Gu Qingluan could sense Yuanxi’s sensitivity, and apart from a few individuals, no one else knew he was her son, which inevitably made him feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t bear to see him distressed.
She had already missed five years of his life and was determined to make up for it in every way possible.
As for the potential dangers, she would do her best to eliminate them at their root.
Even if it proved challenging to prevent all threats, she was committed to creating a peaceful world for her son.
If it weren’t for wanting to hear Gu Qingluan’s words, the scene would have already erupted with excitement.
Being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, Feng Yuanxi felt shy but resisted the urge to hide behind his mother. He pursed his rosy little lips, mustered his courage, and addressed everyone, “1 am my mother’s son. You can call me Yuanxi. My mother is the best mother in the world. When I said 1 wanted to give food to hungry grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, my mother immediately agreed and gave me her full support. I hope everyone can eat to their heart’s content today!”
After finishing, he looked up at Gu Qingluan with shining eyes, seeking her affirmation.
Gu Qingluan felt the dampness in the small hand she was holding and couldn’t help but laugh softly. “You did great. You’re also the best son in the world.”
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes instantly brightened even more, as if brilliant stars had fallen into them.
From the side, there came a teasing voice from Gu Xiaonan, “Mother, what about me?”
“You’re the same.”
Gu Qingluan smiled.
Gu Xiaonan’s pouting lips finally relaxed.
The people below the stage were deeply moved by Feng Yuanxi’s words, finding him not only cute but also kind-hearted.
“Wow, how can there be such an adorable child in the world? Could he be a celestial being in human form?”
“Oh, 1 love him so much. 1 want to take him home.”
“We should ask Guardian Princess if she’s willing.”
“Well, I’m just saying, 1 wouldn’t dare to steal Guardian Princess’s child.”
“Aren’t you curious about who the child’s father is?”
