Under the influence of the Love-Severing Gu, Gu Fei became increasingly indifferent, slowly losing all his emotions. If he were in the world of cultivation, his talent would be a perfect match for cultivating the Path of Heartlessness.

He seemed to know that it wasn't good to keep ignoring Xiaoli, so he still came to Xiaoli's room two days a month. The two of them would just sleep in bed under the covers and do nothing.

He didn't explain to Xiaoli, but Xiaoli didn't ask either, as if they had always been like this.

Xiao Li certainly didn't care. She even gave Gu Fei a few acupuncture needles, and from then on they were sisters. What bad intentions could she possibly have towards her sister?

She is very satisfied with her life now. Her husband is ambitious and works hard to support the family. Her son is smart, sensible and obedient. Her mother-in-law doesn't cause trouble and treats her like her own daughter. She is simply a winner in life.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and tribute bearers arrived from Miao territory.

The procession was long, and many people came this time. It is said that the Miao prince also came, intending to form a marriage alliance with the Taihe Dynasty.

One of the carriages was particularly eye-catching because its curtain was made of light gauze.

The semi-transparent gauze could not conceal the view inside at all; a young woman was seen holding a two-year-old baby, drinking water.

They wore brightly colored Miao costumes, which gave them a unique charm.

The convoy went directly into the imperial city, stopped in the square, and after inspection, everyone walked into the palace.

Lan Lingjing looked at the bustling street in front of her and tightened her grip on the child. This was where Gu Langjun was.

She did not enter the palace, but stopped outside. She had begged the wizard for a long time before she was able to come to the capital.

Because her child had no father, she was ostracized by the other saintesses. If it hadn't been confirmed that she was pregnant, she might have already been stripped of her sainthood.

This time, she was determined to bring Gu Langjun back to Miao territory; no one could resist the power of the love potion.

She had already found out about Gu Langjun's situation. He was young and promising, and for the past three years he had only stayed with his wife and had no concubines. He was a rare talent in the capital.

Lan Lingjing smirked triumphantly; she was determined to have this person.

After court, Gu Fei walked home. Since his home was close, he didn't take a carriage. Now, he basically goes to court and goes home every day, living a very simple life, and rarely goes out for social engagements.

Even the emperor praised him, saying that he was capable of getting things done, and began to value him more.

Two people walked towards him from the opposite direction. A woman was holding a child's hand. He didn't pay attention to her, but then the woman stood in front of him and blocked his way.

Gu Fei frowned. There had been women who blocked his way in the street before, just to become his concubine. He found such behavior extremely disgusting.

He thinks one wife is too many; he wouldn't want to create trouble for himself.

He looked up and was surprised to find that the person looked somewhat familiar.

He blinked, silently pondering, "Who is this?"

"My dear Gu, it's been three years since we last met. Do you still remember me?"

Gu Fei's mind went blank. There was only one person who could call him that, and that was the Miao Holy Maiden.

As for his name, he couldn't quite remember it either.

He looked at the child, and his mind went blank again. He and Gu Qingpei looked so alike that he couldn't ignore the possibility that the child was his son.

"This is……"

Gu Fei heard his own voice, ethereal and uncertain, seemingly both distant and close.

Lan Lingjing shed tears, her tearful appearance would make any man feel a pang of pity.

“Young Master Gu, this is your son. I discovered I was pregnant after you left.”

Gu Fei's mind went blank. What should he do? The Gu family mansion was bound to be blown up.

He seemed to be able to foresee the coming storm.

"I……"

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing Gu Fei's dazed and silly expression, Lan Lingjing assumed he was overjoyed.

She chuckled playfully, "Silly boy, are you overjoyed? Me too, I haven't thought of you for a single moment."

Gu Fei felt a chill run down his spine. He was terrified by these words. Women were too troublesome, and he had no desire to get involved with them.

Seeing Lan Lingjing's happy expression, it was obvious that she wanted to cling to him, which gave him a headache.

"What's your name again?"

Lan Lingjing was stunned. He didn't even remember her own name?

That's impossible! Something must have gone wrong.

Lan Lingjing's heart skipped a beat, realizing that things might not be as she had estimated.

She activated her mother Gu, and easily sensed the child Gu in Gu Fei's head.

Lan Lingjing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Gu worm was fine, so there wasn't much of a problem.

"My name is Lan Lingjing."

Gu Fei nodded. He couldn't refuse to acknowledge his child. He made up his mind to take the child back.

“Miss Lan, our relationship is just a fleeting one. You should go back to Miao territory. Leave this child to me, and I will raise him well.”

Lan Lingjing was completely stunned. She never expected that Gu Fei only wanted the child and not her.
