Gu Xiaonan had striking black and white eyes that were as clear as crystal. He said, “Mom, I didn’t see it.”

Feng Yuanxi also said, “Mother, I didn’t see it too.”

Xiao Bai shook his head vigorously, like a tambourine.

Gu Qingluan looked up at the girl in blue and said, “Unfortunately, we haven’t seen it either.”

“Oh, is that so? It might still be buried in the snow. Let’s continue searching.” The girl in blue smiled faintly, her gaze lingering on Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan’s faces for a moment. “Are you all from out of town? You look unfamiliar.”

“Yes.”

“Are you staying at the Prosperous Guest Inn?”

Gu Qingluan nodded.

The girl in blue pursed her lips and whispered, “Recently, our city has been unrestful, and many inns have gone missing. Since you’re newcomers and you have children with you, it’s quite dangerous. 1 can tell that you’re kind-hearted people. If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place.”

“No need, we’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

“Oh, so soon?” A hint of gloom flashed in the girl in blue’s eyes, too quickly for the others to notice.

She whispered, “Even though it’s just one night, it’s still dangerous. If you change your mind, you can find me at the Bai residence in the south of the city. 1 can arrange a few rooms for you without any trouble.”

“Thank you, Miss Bai. We appreciate your kind offer.”

Gu Qingluan smiled at her and led her son towards the inn.

The girl in blue, who was actually Bai Mengning, watched them as they walked away, her eyes glistening with an unusual expression.

“Madam, it’s snowing heavily outside, why did you come back so late? Who were those people?”

Bo He approached and glanced at the people standing at the street corner.

“We encountered some trouble. Go ask the inn staff to heat up some water and bring it up to our rooms. These two little ones have their clothes all wet.”

The snow had melted on their clothes, turning into icy water, making their attire damp.

Gu Qingluan playfully flicked Gu Xiaonan’s forehead with her finger.

Gu Xiaonan winced in pain and rubbed his forehead. “Mother, I can use arcane power to dry our clothes.”

“But you still to shower.”

Gu Qingluan led the two children upstairs, with Xiao Bai bouncing along beside them.

Before going upstairs, she exchanged a glance with Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan understood her signal and stayed downstairs, saying to Jing Feng, “Go and find out what’s been happening in Yeyu City recently.”

Jing Feng replied, “Understood!”

Upstairs, Gu Xiaonan, Feng Yuanxi, and Xiao Bai stood in a row.

Gu Qingluan stood opposite them.

“Xiaonan, you go first. Did you find a sword?”

Xiao Bai had a nose more sensitive than a dog’s.

Even if a dead body was buried in the snow, it could still detect the scent.

However, based on her knowledge of Xiao Bai, it wouldn’t actively dig for something.

It generally had an aversion to the smell of corpses and wouldn’t willingly dig for them.

So, if it were to dig, it was likely for a treasure.

They dug so vigorously; it couldn’t just be a dead body they unearthed.

Gu Xiaonan blinked his big eyes in surprise and asked, “Mother, didn’t you already ask this before? Why are you asking again?”

Gu Qingluan snorted softly, “Don’t think I’m easily fooled. Be honest and confess!”

“Hehe, Mother, you’re really clever!” Gu Xiaonan didn’t hide his intentions and took out the sword they found in the snow from his storage space.

As the sword emerged, a chilling aura enveloped it.

It was a sword made of frost iron, its entire body crystal clear, emitting a faint blue light.

The hilt was carved in the shape of a dragon’s head, and the dragon’s mouth held a blue, transparent bead.

When Gu Qingluan saw that bead, her eyes narrowed slightly. “Is this a Sea Dragon Pearl?”

“Mother, what’s a Sea Dragon Pearl?” Gu Xiaonan asked curiously.

He knew that this sword was valuable but didn’t know its details.

Gu Qingluan explained, “A Sea Dragon Pearl is the inner essence of a sea dragon, containing abundant water elemental energy. When it’s embedded in a profound artifact, it can amplify the artifact’s power several times. Just like this sword, it was originally a spiritual weapon, but with the Sea Dragon Pearl, it has become a divine weapon.”

“Oh, so this sword is indeed valuable?”

Gu Qingluan nodded. “Of course, this Sea Dragon Pearl contains extremely potent arcane power. With its enhancement, this sword’s power is boundless. It’s a rare sacred-grade treasure, and it would fetch a pretty good price on the market.”

She paused for a moment and asked, “Why did you lie when that girl in blue asked earlier?”
