Qingxiao looked around with doubt in his mind, wondering if there was anything he didn't know?

Gu Liyue paused, looked at the woman carefully, and found that her figure was very familiar. She felt something strange in her heart, which was hard to explain, and ripples were faintly reflected in her heart.

She had some guesses in her mind, but she calmed herself down and said slowly, "My last name is Gu. May I know your name?"

When the woman heard Gu Liyue's words, her hand holding the handkerchief clenched tightly and trembled slightly. She felt as if struck by lightning, her lips trembled but no sound came out, and her face gradually turned pale.

The maid Xiaoju saw that the young lady had not responded yet, so she replied, "You are a member of the Dongfeng family, but you don't know that my young lady is the head of the family."

Gu Liyue said calmly, "Excuse me, it turns out to be Miss Dongfeng."

Although Hao's tone was calm, it was not difficult to hear a hint of sarcasm in her words.

The woman lowered her head tightly, suppressing the urge to look up and take a closer look at the other person.

Gu Liyue took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "I have something else to do, so I'll withdraw now."

After saying that, Gu Liyue left with her friends.

The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Liyue, but her figure was blocked by her friends and she could not be seen at all.

"Xiaoju, who are these people? Why are they at Dongfeng's house?"

Xiaoju noticed something was wrong with the young lady, and she said, "It must be a guest invited by the mansion! Because of the recruitment, there have been quite a few guests in the mansion recently."

Xiaolan noticed that the young lady looked strange. She walked over to her, pushed Xiaoju aside, and took her hand. "Young lady, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little tired. Let's go back."

Miss Dongfeng glanced at Xiaolan and nimbly dodged Xiaolan's hand. Xiaoju took the opportunity to step forward and support her.

On the way, she glanced at the other maids and whispered to Xiaoju, who was supporting her, "Go and find out which courtyard the female cultivator surnamed Gu lives in."

Xiaoju looked at the young lady in surprise. She opened and closed her mouth, but didn't say a word. Finally, she nodded slightly.

At this moment, Gu Liyue and his group had returned to the guest house and they gathered together.

Gu Liyue asked Xiaoxuan, "Did you get any news this morning?"

Xiao Xuan left the space and said solemnly, "The eldest daughter of the Dongfeng family, Dongfeng Xiyue, went out for training more than ten years ago. She has not been heard from for five or six years. Ten years ago, she quietly returned and has stayed at the Dongfeng family ever since. I heard that she is in seclusion training. She may be in public during this recruitment."

Dongfeng Xiyue and Dongfeng Xi are the same person, right?

Everyone looked at Gu Liyue and found that she looked frighteningly calm.

In fact, Gu Liyue's heart was really calm. She had no feelings for Dong Fengxi. She was only tied to the blood of this body.

To her, it was a very insignificant matter and had no effect on her mood at all. She just wanted to understand the whole story and what it had to do with the black cloak and Qing Xiao Xiaoxuan.

Now she let Dongfeng Xiyue know that her surname was Gu. If she was really Dongfeng Xi, she would come to find her.

She just waited quietly for the other person to appear.

Yun Lizhi looked at Gu Liyue's expression and felt a little worried: "Liyue, are you okay? You can't be too worried!"

Gu Liyue sighed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Nie Hengzhou knew Gu Liyue's situation in the Gu family. Thinking of what Gu Mutian had done, he felt very sad. Why would such a beautiful girl have to deal with such a thing?

"The truth will eventually come out. You still have us...we will all support you."

Gu Liyue smiled at him and said seriously, "I'm really fine. I haven't been with her for a long time. We are only connected by blood."

Yun Lizhi patted her shoulder and said indignantly, "I don't know why she wanted to escape by pretending to be dead. Now that she's gone, we don't need to worry about her."

Li Xiuyuan's face also showed indignation. He knew what kind of life Gu Liyue had lived after Dong Fengxi left. Her reputation was ruined, and she was always clinging to the Third Prince. He was said to be ugly and difficult to deal with. In the past, he only thought that there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

But after spending some time with Gu Liyue, he also knew her character. He knew how hard it was for a little girl who couldn't practice cultivation and had no one to protect her in an aristocratic family.

What kind of reason would make a mother abandon her young child and leave?

Either she has unavoidable reasons, or this person is too cold-blooded and unfit to be a mother.

Gu Liyue looked at everyone: "You don't have to feel sorry for me. I'm grown up and don't need a mother anymore. My mother is dispensable to me. I just want to know the truth and give myself an answer."

Everyone felt relieved when they saw that she really wasn't sad.

Xiao Xuan tilted his head and looked at everyone, then continued, "Over the years, Dongfeng Xiyue has been guarded by the Dongfeng family. It wasn't until this year when they wanted to recruit new members that they relaxed their guard a little."

"..."

Everyone's expression changed again, and they all realized that Dongfeng Xiyue might not be able to help herself.

They all looked at Gu Liyue again.

Wen Qinnuan said, "Xiaoxuan, could you please stop panting when you speak? You've been pausing for so long."

Xiahou Jingrong said: "Maybe she really has her own difficulties!"

Qiao Zhiwen said: "Yes, let's not jump to conclusions too early."

Nie Hengzhou said, "No matter what, just remember that you still have friends like us. I'm always on your side."

Su He said, "Actually, it's not that important whether you have a mother or not. It's good enough to have someone who truly loves you around you."

Qing Xiao listened for so long before finally understanding the general situation. It turned out that Dongfeng Xiyue might be Gu Liyue's mother. Now mother and daughter met but didn't recognize each other. The emotions of human cultivators were really puzzling. If they were mother and daughter, why didn't they recognize each other?

They were divine beasts born and raised naturally, so she felt it was unimportant whether they had a mother or not.

Gu Liyue said, "Let's leave this matter at that for now. Now let's talk about Xiao Xuan Lingyu. What do you think?"

Xiao Ju said: "If it were you, I would just break it open and be done with it."

Su He said: "The people of Suzaku City will attack us in droves, and we still have to return to Qingxuan Continent. It would be bad if we cause trouble for Qingxuan Academy."

Xiao Ju murmured, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Su He looked at everyone with questions in his eyes.

Xiahou Jingrong said, "We will secretly take it out at night, and try not to alert the people from the four major families."

Gu Liyue said, "Since it's Xiaoxuan's, it makes sense for him to take it. But how can we convince them that Xiaoxuan is Suzaku? And how much of his cultivation can he recover after getting the feather?"

As she spoke, she looked at Qing Xiao, who replied, "I don't know either. I can't guarantee that I can recover everything, but I will definitely recover some of it."
