Chapter 1470

"You..."

"Enough!!!"

Suddenly, a cold, low voice rang out.

Swish!!!

The tightly closed door opened.

Then a man in black robes walked out of the house.

This person was Gongye Gui's father—Gongye Gui's father—Gongye Xiong.

"Father, you... how did you come out?"

Looking at his father, Gongye Gui's expression froze, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"If I hadn't come out, wouldn't I have to watch you, this unfilial son, anger your old father to death?"

Gongye Xiong's face was ice-cold, his gaze sharp, and he shouted with a majestic tone.

"Father, you misunderstand."

Gongye Gui's expression appeared very complex.

"Misunderstand? Do you think what you just said was a misunderstanding?"

"You unfilial son."

"Back then I should have strangled you, to spare you from becoming what you are now!!!"

"You are simply a disgrace to the Gongye family; how could I have such a rebellious, unfilial, inhuman son!!!"

Gongye Xiong pointed at Gongye Gui and cursed angrily.

"Father, do not blame me."

Gongye Gui spoke with a cold expression.

His gaze swept toward Lady Li:

"Mother, from now on, the Gongye Manor is the only place for you and your sister to stay."

"I will absolutely not allow you to take Ling'er away."

"Unless I die."

After saying this, Gongye Gui turned and left the place.

"Sigh."

"Why must you do this? He is your son after all."

"This child has followed you since childhood; we owe him much. Why must you tear them apart?"

Lady Li sat by the bed and sighed.

"Mother, this matter is not for us to decide. Have you forgotten Ling'er's constitution? Do you think she can live until her wedding day?"

"Once her talent is tested and found to be a wasted vein, the Gongye family will face utter destruction."

Gongye Gui spoke with a sorrowful face.

"Could it be that we just let it be?"

Lady Li spoke with a worried expression.

"Rest assured, you and Mother will not die."

After Gongye Gui finished speaking, he vanished right before their eyes.

The next day, the Gongye family.

Inside a courtyard, a clamor sounded.

In this courtyard, various flowers, plants, and trees were arranged, all cultivated to be very lush and exquisite.

Gongye family, inside a room.

A stone table carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes stood here, upon which were placed abundant wine and dishes.

And on this wine table were several pots of strong wine.

"Gongye Gui, come, cheers! Today is your coming-of-age ceremony; congratulations on successfully entering the Imperial Royal Academy."

"Your future is destined to be brilliant and soaring."

At this moment, Gongye Xiong held a wine cup, spoke with a smile, and drained it in one gulp.

Then Gongye Gui also picked up his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

Crash!!!

At this time, Gongye Gui's body suddenly fell to the ground, spitting blood.

"You... you..."

Gongye Gui stared with wide pupils at Gongye Xiong, his eyes opened extremely wide.

"Hmph, I originally wanted to wait until your strength was strong enough before expelling you from the Gongye family, but since you show no repentance and dare to be rebellious and unfilial, I can only send you down now to accompany my son."

Gongye Xiong looked at Gongye Gui and said with a cold expression.

"Why do this to me?"

Gongye Gui looked at his father and roared with great unwillingness.

Pfft!!!

As a result, the wine cup in Gongye Xiong's hand turned to powder.

He stabbed a sword through Gongye Gui's chest.

This eldest Young Master of the Gongye family's main line thus died miserably in his own father's hands.

Seeing Gongye Gui killed, Lady Li's face turned pale, her expression dazed; her eyes suddenly opened extremely wide, and her whole body seemed to lose its soul, collapsing onto the ground.

"Someone come, clean this place up, and bury him."

"As for Lady, you shall stay here for now; I will immediately send someone to arrange for you and Young Lady to depart for the Gongye Empire!!!"

Gongye Xiong said this directly to Li Shi.

"Gongye Xiong, you are truly ruthless!!!"

Li Shi said through gritted teeth.

"Ruthless?"

"Compared to what you have done these past years, what do I amount to?"

Gongye Xiong spoke with a indifferent expression.

"Hmph, I tell you, if you dare let Ling'er marry Seeing Gongye Gui, do not blame me for being unkind to you!!!"

Li Shi snorted coldly.

"I am well aware of this; you need not worry. You only need to stay here peacefully."

Gongye Xiong said with a calm expression.

"Hmph, I shall see what tricks you can play!!!"

Li Shi gave a cold snort and returned directly to the room to continue resting.

Meanwhile, Gongye Xiong's expression appeared extremely solemn, as if pondering something.

Half a month passed quietly.

During these half a month, Seeing Xiao Yifeng spent every day with Ling'er.

And through Ling'er's account, he came to know their story.

It turned out that Seeing Gongye Gui and Ling'er, those two little ones, had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, because of this matter, Ling'er had almost been forcibly sent to the royal family by her father.

Fortunately, Gongye Xiong discovered it; otherwise, it would have been disastrous.

If he had not appeared this time,

these two would probably never have had a chance to be together.

And at a Shanzhuang on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

"Gongye Feng, you old thing, on what grounds do you do this?"

"I am your son-in-law; Ling'er will sooner or later be my wife."

"On what grounds do you expel Ling'er from the family? Treating me this way, can you live up to the bond between us two brothers?"

Inside a villa.

A middle-aged man, dressed in splendid attire, with a beard and wearing a jade crown,

with an imposing appearance, was angrily shouting at an old man standing nearby.

This middle-aged man was none other than Gongye Junjie, the son of Gongye Feng.
