Chapter 1465

Hearing there was food, Miss Gongye Ling's eyes instantly lit up; this child loved to eat, and ate everything quickly, which was also one of her weaknesses.

"You're welcome, go play with your brother quickly!"

"Hee hee~~"

The little girl, overjoyed, pulled Seeing Gongye Gui and ran outside.

"Gui'er, I heard you want to learn martial arts?"

After Seeing Gongye Gui sat down, his father, Master Gongye, spoke.

"Yes, Father."

"Then you must work hard!"

Although he was the eldest son of a concubine, this son was extremely intelligent; Master Gongye's other son, Gongye Yu, could not compare to him in learning martial arts, and Seeing Gongye Gui's strength had already surpassed Gongye Yu's. Moreover, since Seeing Gongye Gui was the legitimate son, the Gongye Manor would surely be passed into his hands in the future, so Master Gongye did not oppose Seeing Gongye Gui learning martial arts.

"This son knows."

"Also, Seeing Gongye Gui, the Gongye family is different from ordinary merchant families; you should also consider your marriage. Your mother and I have mentioned this matter many times. The seventh day of this month is a good day."

Master Gongye spoke slowly, and after finishing, he stared at Seeing Gongye Gui's expression.

"Father, this son's mind is made up."

Hearing Master Gongye say this, Seeing Gongye Gui frowned slightly; he knew this was the idea of his stepmother. She always felt she was not worthy of his sister, but this time he did not intend to compromise.

"Sigh~~"

Sighing, Master Gongye knew he could not persuade him; this son of his, though extremely wise, was also too stubborn.

"Very well, let this matter be postponed for now; go rest for a while!"

"Yes, this son takes his leave."

Seeing Gongye Gui clasped his hands and took his leave.

"Young Master, Master called for you."

Xia Yu came to Seeing Gongye Gui's room.

"Mm, I know."

Seeing Gongye Gui pushed open the door and walked in, but the moment he entered the bedroom, he froze, because the scene inside was completely different from what he had expected: a delicate girl in a pink silk skirt was kneeling on the carpet, holding a wooden puppet and playing with it happily.

"Ling'er, you are playing with the puppet again!"

Seeing Gongye Gui helplessly rubbed his temples; he could not stop her. He knew this was Miss Gongye Ling's favorite thing to do, but he also knew clearly that a daughter of the Gongye family could not marry a wooden puppet, or her life would truly be ruined.

"Brother~~ I am playing!"

"Brother, come look!"

Hearing Seeing Gongye Gui's footsteps as he entered, Miss Gongye Ling raised her head and said.

"Alright!"

Seeing Gongye Gui came to his sister's side, squatted down, and played with her. He also noticed the note on the table; the text written on it read: "Gui'er, Father asks you to go to the study at noon tomorrow for a discussion."

In the original story it was the same, but this time Xia Yu had arrived; he would not allow the mission to fail. Seeing Gongye Gui must marry and have children.

"Cousin Gui, you have arrived!"

Miss Gongye Ling, who was nearby, suddenly stopped the puppet in her hand and turned to look at Seeing Gongye Gui; a sweet smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Mm."

Seeing Gongye Gui replied with a single word, saying no more.

"Cousin Gui, I have brought you a gift."

Saying this, Miss Gongye Ling threw away the puppet in her hand.

"You little rascal."

Seeing Gongye Gui looked at the girl speechlessly; how could he dare to unwrap her gift? This was her treasured possession.

"Hee hee~~"

Miss Gongye Ling did not feel there was anything wrong with this at all; in her view, a boy's gift should be chosen personally by oneself.

On her finger was a delicate ring, exactly the one Xia Yu had specially helped her put on last night.

"Young Master, Ling'er's gift is right here!"

Before Seeing Gongye Gui could react, Miss Gongye Ling picked up the gift box on the table.

"Uh~, thank you, Ling'er."

Although he did not want to accept it, Seeing Gongye Gui still reached out and took the gift box.

"Young Master, I give you these sugar figures!"

Miss Gongye Ling placed the other sugar figures on Seeing Gongye Gui's left and right sides respectively.

"Thank you, Ling'er. Brother is going to practice martial arts."

Looking at these sugar figures, Seeing Gongye Gui's heart felt warm; he felt his sister seemed to have grown a little, learning to care for others. His current feeling was just like when he took care of his sister in childhood. Moreover, more importantly, his sister was ultimately his sister; the blood tie could never be severed, nor did he wish to sever it.

"Oh, by the way, Cousin Gui, are you free tonight? I am preparing to invite everyone to play by the lakeside; at that time, please do not forget!"

"Alright, I know."

Seeing Gongye Gui nodded; since Ling'er wanted to play, he would accompany her in going crazy once. Anyway, this group of theirs belonged to the bottom rung among the younger generation of the Gongye family; unless something unexpected happened, there was simply no chance to become the core of the next generation.

And above this group of theirs were a vast number of cousins, male and female; no matter how excellently they performed, they were merely making wedding clothes for others. As the saying goes, comparing people kills, comparing goods leads to discarding; these people deserved it.

…………

"Ding dong~ Ding dong~~"

The sound of striking a bronze gong rang out inside the Gongye Manor; Seeing Gongye Gui sat up from the bed.

"It is only the fifth watch; how could Father gather us at this time?"

Seeing Gongye Gui said in confusion; he usually slept until the sun was high in the sky. After all, the physique of a cultivator was different from that of ordinary people; ordinary people needed four or five shichen to recover, but a cultivator only needed half a ke.

However, at this moment he did not hesitate; instead, he rose, dressed himself, and hurried toward the training ground.

"Ding~ Ding-ding~~"

A melodious Zhong Sheng rang out within the Gongye residence, and immediately all the guards and servants stood up and converged toward the training ground.

After waiting a moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward onto the steps; he was Gongye Zan, the current helmsman of the Gongye clan.

"Everyone, you surely know why I have summoned you here today..."

Gongye Zan glanced indifferently at everyone below. Although there was no intent of decisive killing, the momentum he radiated still silenced everyone beneath the steps; they knew this head of the family, my lord, was serious.

"Very well, let us depart!"
