“Haha!” Dongfang Yu laughed and she gently brushed her finger across Xiao Xun’er’s little nose. “You, little one, are really too cute. It’s definitely not proper for you to take your trousers off in front of maidens but I’m your maternal grandmother. Hugging you for a moment is fine. However, you must remember that aside from your mother, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, and uncle, no one else can hug you.”

Xiao Xun’er twiddled his little fingers and cocked his head to the side to look at Dongfang Yu.

“What about Father?”

“Your father certainly can hug you but he’s not here at the moment.”

Dongfang Yu was afraid that Xiao Xun’er might be deceived and taken away by someone else so she was teaching him diligently.

Xiao Xun’er blinked. He then saw Gu Shengxiao who had walked to Dongfang Yu’s side and called out in a childish voice, “Uncle.”

His voice was soft and light, causing Gu Shengxiao’s expression to melt into softness.

“Xiao Xun’er, tell me, how did you know that he’s your uncle?” Dongfang Yu stared at Xiao Xun’er indulgently as she asked.

Xiao Xun’er giggled. “Maternal Grandmother, you’re so silly. Uncle, Maternal Grandfather and Maternal Grandmother are so alike, how could Xun’er possibly fail to recognize you?”

Dongfang Yu was shocked.

This little fellow was only two years old but she was stunned at how well he could converse. She never expected him to be so clever. Instantly, her heart was filled with even more love towards Xiao Xun’er.

“Besides...” Xiao Xun’er looked around. “Godfather has always talked about Uncle. He says that Uncle is cold and grim and that out of everyone here, Uncle is the grimmest person. Xun’er had guessed that he’s my uncle because of that.”

“Godfather?” Dongfang Yu was shocked once again. “Who’s your godfather?”

How had a godfather appeared out of thin air?

“Xun’er’s godfather is Zuo Shangchen. Godfather likes Uncle. He always talks about Uncle.”

Xiao Xun’er was not aware of the implications of his words so he had blurted it all out.

Gu Shengxiao’s expression froze as his grim features turned awkward. ” Zuo Shangchen and I have a life and death friendship pact! ¹ ”

He meant that he has no romantic inclinations towards Zuo Shangchen!

“Yun’er, you’ve been living outside for so many years and you’ve finally returned after much difficulty. Follow us back to the Grand Lord’s residence and let me take a good look at you.” Dongfang Yu looked at Gu Ruoyun with heartache in her eyes.

Gu Ruoyun nodded. “Alright, let’s go back to the residence first. You can send people to find Xiao Ye after this. I want every corner of the mainland searched!”

At this moment, the group which had been discussing the search party had no idea how much of a storm their decision would cause on the East Peak Mainland!

Every cultivator from the First City gathered together and charged out in search of Qianbei Ye. No one on the mainland could figure out what was going on and which so many Martial Saints would suddenly appear.

Zi Yun, Chu Luo and the others that Gu Ruoyun had taken in did not remain idle either and sent all the Devil Sect’s disciples out. Lan Ge also sent word and everyone in the Cloudy Wind Empire, including its citizens, had gone out to search for Qianbei Ye.

Of course, Gu Ruoyun did not stay idle as well. Once she had sent her orders out, she left the Red Lotus Territory to look for Qianbei Ye. Xiao Xun’er, however, had remained in the Territory.

Unfortunately, even with the bustling crowds, there was still no news of Qianbei Ye...

Just as Gu Ruoyun was reaching the end of her limit, Zixie’s voice, which had not been heard for a long time, finally echoed within her soul.

Due to their contract, no matter how far away they were from each other, they could project their voices into each other’s heart. This was also the reason why Gu Ruoyun had asked Zixie to help look for Qianbei Ye...

“Little girl, I’ve found Qianbei Ye!”

Zixie’s announcement was like a lantern in the darkness and revived Gu Ruoyun’s ashen heart in an instant.
