In the past hundred years, there had been no Gu Humans in the Xu Clan. Even though some people had consumed Gu worms while pregnant to give birth to Gu Humans, none of them had succeeded. Unexpectedly, Feng Xiao had one.
"So, you're saying that you're not going to cure Xiao 'er?" Feng Cang caught on immediately.
Good smiled embarrassedly when Feng Cang pointed it out. "Regent, you're straightforward. That's what we meant. You're here to cure the Gu, but Little Crown Prince is a rare Gu Human. Moreover, we've checked carefully and found that the Gu poison in his body is not harmful to him at all. Instead, the Gu worm has been with Little Crown Prince since he was in his mother's womb and is very protective of him. "
Feng Cang recalled that Feng Xiao was indeed different after he was born. He did not have the symptoms that he had after being poisoned. Instead, he was able to eat and sleep like a normal baby. Could it be because of what Good said?
"What we mean is that we want to keep Little Heir Apparent here …" The second elder's words made Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi's expressions change. The second elder quickly explained, "We won't harm Little Heir Apparent. We just want to impart the best Gu Arts to him. After all, Gu Masters are hard to come by in a hundred years. If Little Heir Apparent is interested, we're willing to impart all of our Gu Arts to him."
Even though Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi did not understand the importance of Gu Humans to the Xu Clan, they could roughly guess that Gu Humans were a kind of spiritual leader based on the expressions of the five people in front of them.
It seemed impossible for Feng Xiao to stay in the Xu Clan and learn Gu skills. That would mean that they would have to separate from Feng Xiao. Moreover, Feng Xiao might not like the little worm in his body and might not be willing to learn Gu skills.
After a moment of silence, Feng Cang looked at Feng Qiqi. Feng Qiqi could read the meaning in Feng Cang's eyes and nodded at him.
"Since the Gu worm is not harmful to Xiao 'er, we'll bring Feng Xiao back." Feng Cang's reply extinguished the sparks in the elders' eyes. They had been hoping that Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi would keep Feng Xiao, but now that his father was unwilling, they could not snatch him away. After all, Feng Xiao was not a Xu Clan member and he was still so young that he could not leave his parents.
"But …" Feng Qiqi said when she saw the disappointment in the elders' eyes.
The First Elder seemed to see hope when he heard the word 'but'. "But what? We can agree to any conditions the princess has! "
Hearing the First Elder's words, the other Elders nodded vigorously. "Right, right, right! We will agree to any condition! "
Feng Qi Qi shook her head with a smile. "I can tell that you won't hurt Xiao 'er, so I'm relieved. But I won't use my son's happiness as an exchange! Although Cang and I are Xiao 'er's parents, we have no right to decide Xiao' er's future. Our decision was to wait for Xiao 'er to grow up and let him make his own choice. If he is willing to learn Gu and stay in the Harm Clan, Cang and I will not stop him. "
Feng Qiqi's words had reassured the people around her.
Good thought that people of high status like Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi would never allow their children to learn Gu. After all, Gu was a terrifying existence in the eyes of others. He didn't expect that these two people were actually so open-minded and left the choice to Feng Xiao.
"Princess, do you and the Prince Regent really think so?"
Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi's open-mindedness was beyond the Elders' expectations. If Feng Xiao were to choose, the child would definitely choose Gu and the Harm Clan. He had a Gu in his body, and as long as the Gu and the child developed a good relationship, he would not reject the Gu and Gu. Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi had allowed their son to make his own choice, and the four elders had already expected this outcome.
"Yes. We will let our child choose his own future. As parents, we won't interfere. "
"Thank you!" The First Elder's eyes reddened with emotion. "Since the two of you are so open-minded, we won't say anything else. We will also respect the little heir's opinion. No matter when he wants to learn, he can come to the Harm Clan. The doors of the Harm Clan will always be open to him! "
"That's right! He can come anytime! "
Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi were reassured by the four Elders and Good's promise. As for Feng Xiao's future, it would be up to him when he grew up.
"Cousin-in-law, are you really going to let Xiao 'er choose? Why do I feel that he likes it here? "Wan Yankang teased Feng Xiao, causing the latter to giggle.
Surprisingly, Feng Xiao's body didn't change because of the drowning in the Dragon Pond. Instead, after a good night's sleep, he returned to the same state as before. If it was an ordinary infant, he would have been sick for a few days, but this child was very tough.
"Yes! If Xiao 'er likes it, we won't stop him. "
"Cousin-in-law, you and cousin are too open-minded!"
While Wan Yankang and Feng Qiqi were talking, Feng Cang walked over with a dark expression.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Wan Yankang stood up when he saw the letter in Feng Cang's hand. For some reason, Wan Yankang had a bad premonition. Before he could figure out what was going on, Feng Cang's next sentence shocked him.
"Wan Yanjie is dead."
"What?!" Not only Wanyan Kang, but Feng Qiqi and Su Mei were also shocked when they heard the news from Feng Cang.
"How did Jie 'er die?"
Feng Qiqi snatched the letter from Feng Cang's hand and read it from beginning to end. When she saw Dongfang Lan's handwriting about Wanyan Jie's death, Feng Qiqi burst into tears. That little child was gone, just like that? Before she left, Wan Yanjie was still holding onto her hand, asking her to bring his younger brother back to play with him. Who would have thought that they would be parted forever after just a few months …
"Wanyan Hong, that bastard!" Wan Yankang cursed through gritted teeth after he finished reading the letter.
It turned out that Wanyan Hong's maids were Wanyan Hong's mole. After Wanyan Hong was defeated, he was not willing to accept it. As if he knew what would happen to him, he asked the mole to feed Wanyan Jie poison.
"That man deserves to die! I hate myself for being so merciful and sparing his life. "
Feng Qiqi's eyes were filled with sorrow. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Wanyan Hong's perverseness was beyond the realm of a normal person. How could he kill his only son? What was wrong with his heart?
