Before the three children could huddle together, Gu Ling and Su Liang quickly rushed over, grabbing Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu into their arms.

Gu Xiaonuan’s little face was puzzled, waving her small hand in confusion, wondering where her toy blocks had gone.

“Master, my little sister can control that magic treasure!” Zhengzheng thought Gu Ling hadn’t seen it.

Ji Xiaoshu was very excited, “Master’s wife, just now my little sister made a toy block disappear out of thin air! That magical treasure doesn’t even need blood to recognize her as its master! I knew my sister could do it! I want her to take me inside the magical treasure to play!”

Su Liang and Gu Ling exchanged a glance. They had both seen it, and the reason they were holding the two children back from interacting with Gu Xiaonuan was to prevent them from disappearing into thin air.

Seeing Gu Xiaonuan make the toy block disappear, Gu Ling and Su Liang were actually quite excited as well, but they quickly calmed down, realizing there was a new problem: Gu Xiaonuan was too young to understand what was happening and didn’t know how to use the space. What just happened was purely accidental.

Of course, the fact that Gu Xiaonuan was able to use the magical treasure was a great thing, a major turning point for the problems they were facing at the moment.

However, Gu Ling and Su Liang needed to guide Gu Xiaonuan first and have her release the people trapped in the space before they could allow more people to enter.

“Great God, if I hold her, will she make me disappear too?” Su Liang asked Gu Ling.

Gu Ling nodded, “It’s possible.”

“Little sister still doesn’t know what’s going on. Master and Master’s wife, please tell her how to let Auntie Yan out!” Ji Xiaoshu said happily.

Su Liang shook her head, “How could we possibly know that?”

“So we can only let my little sister discover it for herself?” Zhengzheng frowned, “But my little sister is too young to understand this.”

“I’ve got it!” Ji Xiaoshu’s eyes lit up. “Since my little sister doesn’t know where Aunt Yan is, let her take me in, and then she’ll look for me. When she finds me, she’ll let me out!”

Zhengzheng shook his head, “But what if she can’t find you, or it takes a long time to find you? It’s not appropriate.”

“Anyway, Auntie Yan is inside, and Master and Master’s wife said there’s food there, so I’m not scared!” Ji Xiaoshu expressed his faith in Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Ling rubbed Ji Xiaoshu’s head, “There are no vegetables inside, only coarse grain porridge.”

“Ah? Then I’ll bring some vegetables and meat with me to eat with Aunt Yan! Aunt Yan has learned how to cook before!” Ji Xiaoshu said, thinking it was a simple solution.

Su Liang received Gu Ling’s eye signal and took the two young disciples to sit at the table.

Gu Ling went over by himself, sat next to Gu Xiaonuan, and held her in his arms.

By now, Gu Xiaonuan had found a new game: making toy blocks disappear. When she discovered her toy block had gone missing, she played around with the process of making it disappear, finding it quite magical. She grabbed the toy blocks, touched the “water droplet”, and when the toy blocks disappeared, she shook her small hand, showed Gu Ling, and laughed happily, saying in a clear voice, “Magic!”

Zhengzheng held his forehead, “My little sister thinks she’s playing magic tricks.”

Ji Xiaoshu’s eyes widened, “I think Master could disappear at any moment.”

Gu Ling had learned a few magic tricks based on Su Liang’s description, occasionally amused the children with them, and even taught the two little disciples how to play. The most common trick involved making objects in their hands disappear.

Gu Xiaonuan had seen her two brothers play many times, but she hadn’t remembered the name of the trick – just the word “magic.” At this moment, she thought she could do magic tricks too.

Gu Ling didn’t stop her, and Gu Xiaonuan continued to play with the toy blocks, happily making them disappear one by one.

Every time she succeeded, Gu Ling would kiss Gu Xiaonuan’s cheek to praise and encourage her, which made her play even more enthusiastically.

Watching the items disappear in Gu Xiaonuan’s hand, Su Liang suddenly had an idea, and took out her writing materials.

“What does Master’s wife want to write?” Zhengzheng skillfully ground ink for Su Liang.

Ji Xiaoshu glanced at them and continued to stare at Gu Ling and Gu Xiaonuan, wanting to see if Gu Ling would disappear.

Seeing Su Liang start writing, Zhengzheng suddenly understood, “I get it. Master’s wife is writing a letter to Aunt Yan, so my sister can take it in, and Aunt Yan can see it. This way, she’ll be reassured that we’ll be able to rescue her soon.”

Ji Xiaoshu said in response, “Master’s wife can write it in the letter and ask Aunt Yan to call out to the little sister in the space, maybe she can hear it. I think for now the little sister can only take things in, but we haven’t seen where those things have gone.”

“Right!” Zhengzheng nodded.

Su Liang quickly wrote a letter to Yan Shiba, not bothering to put it in an envelope, and directly handed the paper to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling then gently passed the paper to Gu Xiaonuan with a smile.

Gu Xiaonuan took it and continued her previous action, successfully making the paper disappear.

“Nuannuan, close your eyes, do you see anything?” Gu Ling guided her kindly.

But Gu Xiaonuan wasn’t sleepy, and seeing Gu Ling close his eyes, she didn’t imitate him but leaned in to kiss him instead.

Gu Ling reached out and covered Gu Xiaonuan’s eyes.

Gu Xiaonuan thought they were playing hide and seek, temporarily lost interest in the “magic tricks”, loosened her grip on the “drop”, threw it to the side and laughed, “Where is big brother?”

“Be good, Nuannuan, say ‘Second Brother, come out,’” Gu Ling patiently taught her.

Gu Xiaonuan then shouted out loud, “Second Brother...come out!”

Zhengzheng’s small face was tense, but no miracle happened, and the room was still devoid of Ji Xiaoshu.

Gu Xiaonuan buried her face in Gu Ling’s embrace, cried a few more times, and fell asleep after a while...

Zhengzheng sighed, “If Little Tree knew that he lost his little sister and could still sleep, he would definitely be heartbroken.”

“Nothing will happen,” Su Liang reassured Zhengzheng, and herself as well. “The droplet” is fine, so there shouldn’t be any problems with the space, it’s just maintaining its original state.

In just one day, the emotions of Gu Ling and Su Liang have risen and fallen. Gu Xiaonuan was already asleep, and they couldn’t force her to wake up and continue to learn how to open the space and release people. She was just an innocent child, who couldn’t understand or grow up to the point of being able to communicate instantly.

Gu Ling carried Gu Xiaonuan back to their room, placed her on the bed, gently wiped away her tears, covered her with a quilt, and sighed, “Let’s deal with it tomorrow.”

It was late at night, and Su Liang let Zhengzheng sleep in their room as well.

With both children asleep, Su Liang and Gu Ling sat on the bed, looking at each other in silence.

After a sigh, Gu Ling said, “It’s all my fault.”

Su Liang frowned, “Great God, what are you talking about?”

“If I had confessed my feelings to you earlier, Nuannuan would probably be three years old by now and we could communicate better,” Gu Ling said.

Su Liang held his forehead, “What does that have to do with anything?”

Gu Ling held Su Liang’s hand, pressed it to his face, “Is it a good thing? I mean, in the future. ” He didn’t doubt that Gu Xiaonuan could definitely release the people inside. It was just a matter of time, and it shouldn’t take too long. Gu Xiaonuan could actually understand many of their instructions, but the space was too mysterious, and there was no way to make her comprehend it intuitively. But maybe more time and patience would suffice.

Su Liang knew what Gu Ling was asking. After all the problems were solved, Gu Xiaonuan would possess that space, which would inevitably have a significant impact on her life.

“It’s a treasure. It’s a blessing to have received it, and Nuannuan has been chosen for it. Of course, it’s a good thing,” Su Liang said, “It will be interesting, and that space can also protect her.”

Gu Ling nodded, “You’re right.”

The two couldn’t sleep, discussing how to inspire Gu Xiaonuan to discover the space the next day. Suddenly, the sleeping Gu Xiaonuan raised her hand and slapped Zhengzheng’s face!

Zhengzheng woke up instantly, sat up, and subconsciously looked at Gu Xiaonuan, “Little sister.”

“Water Droplet” was under Gu Xiaonuan’s pillow. Gu Xiaonuan opened her eyes in a daze and called out to Zhengzheng, “Second brother...”

“I’m your big brother. Did you dream of your second brother?” Zhengzheng held Gu Xiaonuan and patted her gently.

“I saw... second brother...” Gu Xiaonuan rubbed her eyes.

Su Liang’s expression changed, Gu Ling quickly asked, “Nuannuan, where is your second brother?”

Gu Xiaonuan closed her eyes and called “Second brother,” then opened her eyes again. She couldn’t help but feel confused, “Huh... where is the second brother?”

Su Liang guessed that their daughter was currently experiencing a stage where the world she saw with her eyes open and the world she saw with her eyes closed were completely different. Perhaps Ji Xiaoshu was calling Gu Xiaonuan in the space?

“Little sister, close your eyes and say, ‘Second brother, come out,’ and he will,” Zhengzheng earnestly taught Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Xiaonuan closed her eyes again, “Second brother! Second brother, come out!”

The next moment, Ji Xiaoshu fell head down onto the bed.

Gu Ling and Su Liang both heaved a sigh of relief and were delighted.

Ji Xiaoshu rolled over and sat on Gu Ling, looking at everything in front of him with a surprised and excited expression on his little face, “Haha! Success! I knew it, little sister would definitely find me!”

The three children happily rolled around together.

Gu Ling pulled Ji Xiaoshu over, “What about the others inside?”

Ji Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly, “I saw them! I saw Aunt Yan! But Aunt Yan didn’t get Master’s letter because the space is too big and the letter and blocks were too small. Little sister probably threw them somewhere. The treasure tree just happened to hit Aunt Yan on the head and gave her a big bump, haha!”

Unable to hold back his laughter, Su Liang said, “Good, Ji Xiaoshu has made a great contribution today. Now quickly teach your little sister and let her release the others.”

“Let’s go to the next room,” Gu Ling said. He couldn’t tolerate others falling on his and Su Liang’s bed.

“No problem!” Ji Xiaoshu patted his little chest, indicating that he had already experienced the new world.

Zhengzheng was envious, “When little sister is skilled, I want to go in and play too.”

The next moment, Gu Xiaonuan took out the “Water Droplet” from under her pillow and grabbed Zhengzheng with a smile, who disappeared from Gu Ling and Su Liang’s sight...

Then Gu Xiaonuan raised her little face and smiled brilliantly at Gu Ling and Su Liang, as if showing off her special ability.

Su Liang said in a faint tone, “Your daughter really knows how to do it now.”

Gu Ling nodded, “Let’s go in and play tomorrow.”
