Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Ha!”

The marriage of the Jun Family, what a splendid occasion it was!

The dowry they gave was the talk of the town, surpassing even that of a princess.

If one were to inquire casually, they would soon learn about the grandeur of the event back then.

How could they have the audacity to claim that the dowry was gone?

Under the weight of her probing questions, Gu Zhicheng’s face turned crimson, his eyes avoiding direct contact as he struggled to find the right words. The air around them seemed to grow heavy with an unspoken sense of guilt and discomfort.

While still yearning for Gu Qingluan and the Island of No Return behind her, he struggled to steady his emotions and revealed a remorseful and helpless expression. “Luan’er, in the past, 1 did wrong by you. It’s true that the dowry… is indeed gone. You also know how much the Gu family spent to purchase the Universe Stabilizer. In the end, we used the last bit of our resources to save your mother… to save the First Madam.”

“Whoever spent it should take responsibility! 1 don’t want to hear any excuses,” Gu Qingluan said with a faint glance at the two of them. “Tomorrow at noon, I will come to collect it personally. If I can’t retrieve my dowry by then…”

She didn’t finish the sentence, but the threat was clear.

Gu Zhicheng and his wife couldn’t help but freeze in their tracks.

They watched as Gu Qingluan led Gu Xiaonan’s hand and boarded the carriage, gradually moving away.

Wang Shi’s face darkened, and she said, “Old Master, in my opinion, you should stop trying to please her! Just look at how cold-hearted and ruthless she is. Does she show any willingness to reconcile with us? Don’t let your desire to achieve one thing lead to losing something else.”

Gu Zhixin stepped down from the carriage and nodded in agreement. “Sister-in-law is right. Big brother, you shouldn’t remain obstinate. While the Island of No Return is indeed formidable, it’s not just Mr. Liu who holds power there. If Gu Qingluan managed to climb up, we can also find ways to connect with other influential people on the Island of No Return. Then, we won’t have to worry about pleasing Gu Qingluan anymore. Your current approach only lets her lead you around by the neck, and you gain nothing but being deceived over and over again!”

“Uncle, both she and you are Saints. There’s really no need to be so deferential.” Gu Jinrong also got off the carriage, his face swollen like a pig’s head, with patches of blue and purple, looking remarkably ugly.

Having been harmed by Gu Qingluan and her son, he could clearly see that Gu Qingluan had no intention of reconciliation.

Under the persuasion of the group, Gu Zhicheng finally relented.

“You guys are right. That girl is just too much!”

The others were overjoyed.

As long as the family head stopped trying to please Gu Qingluan, the Gu family had no need to fear her!

Inside the moonlit carriage adorned with golden edges, Feng Yuanxi raised his head and glanced back at Feng Tianlan.

The man’s eyes slightly lowered as he held a book, deeply immersed in his reading.

From the moment they got on the carriage until now, he hadn’t looked at Feng Yuanxi once.

Feng Yuanxi felt puzzled.

Is his Royal Father angry or not?

Why doesn’t he say a word?

Feng Yuanxi pursed his lips and leaned towards Feng Tianlan, trying to break the silence, “Royal Father, what book are you reading?”

Feng Tianlan put down the book, raised his eyes, and his cold gaze met his, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

Feng Yuanxi blinked his eyes, “I have nothing to say.”

“That’s good,” he replied, then closed his eyes and rested.

Unable to fathom his thoughts, Feng Yuanxi decided not to bother him.

The carriage’s anti-vibration effect was excellent, and it traveled smoothly to the palace.

Feng Yuanxi was the first to jump off the carriage and run towards the main gate.

“Pack your belongings, get ready, and return to the Holy Heaven Dynasty tomorrow.”

Feng Tianlan’s deep voice came from behind.

Feng Yuanxi suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Feng Tianlan, and asked, “Are we leaving so soon?”

“The selection tournament is over, so it’s time to go back,”

Feng Tianlan’s main purpose for coming to the Kingdom of Chengyuan this time was to preside over the selection tournament, ensuring fair and just competition.

In addition, he had one private matter to attend to, which was to find Yuanxi’s mother..
