Ouyang Qinglin noticed Gu Qianying's expression and understood her meaning, so he said no more.
He simply withdrew silently and informed the person before him.
"You two haven't seen each other for many days, and I imagine you miss each other dearly. I won't stay here and waste your time. You mother and son should have a good talk."
After saying this, he turned and headed towards the door.
Just as he stepped over the threshold, he turned back and made a gesture towards Gu Qianying.
Gu Qianying saw his hint.
She nodded silently.
After Ouyang Qinglin left, Gu Qianying turned to look at her son, doing her best to dispel the weariness from her face, and smiled gently, "How have things been these past few days? Have you missed your mother?"
Little Yi Hao grinned, revealing a row of very nice white teeth. His eyes held innocence, but also a hint of sadness.
His hand suddenly reached out to caress Gu Qianying's slightly thinner cheek, a touch of surprise and worry in his voice as he asked,
"Mother, you seem to have lost weight these past few days. I remember when you left, your cheeks were a little plump, much fuller than mine. Now, you've become so thin you're just skin and bones."
Seeing the little fellow speak so earnestly, Gu Qianying looked at her own elbow and let out a chuckle.
Her eyes instantly welled up with a hint of moisture.
This child truly had her in his heart.
Gu Qianying rubbed her cheek with her hand, "That's too exaggerated. If I have lost weight, it's only because I missed you so much."
Little Yi Hao instantly grinned, proudly raising his head and clapping his hands in delight. He raised an eyebrow at Gu Qianying, "I knew it. I missed mother, so mother must have missed me too."
"Of course."
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Little Yi Hao was in a talkative mood, pulling Gu Qianying along and telling her many things he had experienced these past days.
Gu Qianying did not speak, merely cupping her chin and listening to the little fellow speak with increasing animation.
She felt that such days were what a person should live for.
Having family, doing whatever you want, they would indulge you and put you first.
Not like the environment in the Shengyu family.
Hypocritical and deceitful, no one knew when they might die somewhere.
As Little Yi Hao spoke, his energy gradually waned, and he began to show signs of drowsiness. He gently patted his mouth and then stretched out his arms.
Closing his eyes slightly, he said, "Mother, I need to go to sleep now. We can talk more tomorrow."
Gu Qianying's lips curved slightly, her face still holding a smile. She gently raised her hand and waved forward, nodding slowly.
"Alright, go to sleep quickly! Tomorrow, mother will make you something delicious."
Little Yi Hao clapped his hands happily, "Okay, I knew mother was the best to me."
After saying this, he quickly hurried back to his room.
Seeing the candlelight in the room slowly extinguish, Gu Qianying finally supported her weary body and walked out, one step after another.
Under the night sky.
Ouyang Qinglin, dressed in green, stood alone beneath the peach blossoms.
As the night breeze stirred, peach petals fell onto Ouyang Qinglin's shoulders, making him appear somewhat ethereal.
She walked up to him, "You've been waiting for me for so long?"
She had been talking with Little Yi Hao for at least an hour.
There was no sound from outside, it was completely silent.
This meant that Ouyang Qinglin had been standing under the tree, unmoving, since he left.
He wore a gentle smile, his lips curved upwards, and he beckoned to Gu Qianying, "You have something to ask of me now, so naturally, I will wait here. Let's first discuss where we are going."
He asked tentatively.
Gu Qianying pursed her lips and walked forward, "You'll know when we get there."
Their figures flashed, disappearing into the night, and they rushed towards the cliff.
When they landed at the cliff.
Because the trial period had passed, the Shengyu family had long since set up a barrier here.
Before them, a bird, seemingly without fear of death, rushed towards the barrier on the cliff.
Moments later.
The smell of burning filled the air, along with the lightning-charged barrier on the cliff.
Ouyang Qinglin gently stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said,
"This place looks very dangerous. What good things are hidden below?"
Gu Qianying's gaze was indifferent, and she slowly said,
"I saw someone who felt very familiar, yet I felt like I had forgotten him!"
"What did you say?"
Ouyang Qinglin's expression turned grim.
Just as Gu Qianying was moving forward, he instantly grabbed her arm and said cautiously, "Who was that person?"
Gu Qianying's eyes flickered, and she shook her head with a look of confusion.
"I don't know, but I know that if I don't go today, I will regret it."
Hearing Gu Qianying's words, Ouyang Qinglin could not refuse and could only follow her.
They both possessed powerful spiritual energy.
They did not need to fear the barrier on the cliff.
So, they entered it silently.
The tragic scene of the underground palace had not yet faded, and the coffin containing Bai Xianhua lay peacefully in the center.
They approached.
Even though Gu Qianying had seen this person once before, every time she saw his face, she couldn't help but gasp in admiration.
He was truly handsome.
Upon seeing this person, Ouyang Qinglin's body stiffened instantly. A flicker of darkness crossed his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.
Gu Qianying said calmly from the side, "I want to take him to the Yi Jing Pavilion. He doesn't look dead; he's still alive. If the Shengyu family can't save him, I want to save him."
Gu Qianying had previously tested the power within this person.
Even though he had been unconscious for a long time, his power was surging, and with his bloodline power, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Ouyang Qinglin's eyes dimmed for a moment. He understood Gu Qianying's intention.
However, he was reluctant to part with her now. After finally seeing Gu Qianying, she was about to leave again, and this place was fraught with danger, certainly not a place to be at ease.
Gu Qianying sensed Ouyang Qinglin's emotions and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think this will take up too much of your time, and you're unwilling to go?"
Ouyang Qinglin quickly shook his head and shrugged slightly.
Though his heart was filled with a thousand reluctances, this was Gu Qianying's request, and it had to be done.
He smiled and teased, "You always ask me to do things, but have you ever remembered to repay me? Don't forget, you promised to celebrate my birthday."
Gu Qianying suddenly realized and smiled apologetically.
"Look at my brain; I've forgotten such an important matter."
Ouyang Qinglin pretended to be relaxed and removed the coffin from the chains.
"It's good that you remember."
When they returned, the two of them sat in the courtyard.
Gu Qianying took out the prepared jade pendant and handed it to Ouyang Qinglin.
"I had to act in haste, so I prepared this. See if you like it."
