When they arrived at the Gong family, Su Fei and Tang Xueyan were warmly welcomed by the Gong family, at least on the surface.
The head of the Gong family, Gong Chusheng's grandfather, Gong Wenliang, personally greeted him at the door. Behind him were hundreds of disciples and descendants of the Gong family. The grand scene made Su Fei couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to the Meng family when he was treating Mr. Meng.
Su Fei's thoughts suddenly drifted away at this point. He wondered how Mr. Meng, Meng Lin and Meng Fan were doing. He was too busy these days and hadn't visited them for a long time.
"Brother Fei, this is my grandpa."
The voice of Gong Chusheng's introduction brought Su Fei back to reality from his thoughts. Su Fei pulled Tang Xueyan forward and bowed to Gong Wenliang in accordance with the etiquette of the world: "Junior Su Xiaofei, this is my sister Su Xueyan, see you
Passed Mr. Gong."
"There is no need to be formal. You are Gong Chusheng's benefactors, and naturally you are also the benefactors of our Gong family. It is we who should thank you."
Gong Wenliang raised his hands in the air with a smile. Su Fei and Tang Xueyan immediately felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable aura lifting their bowed hands, and their bodies unconsciously followed the force of this aura and stood up again.
Su Fei and Tang Xueyan were both surprised, and Su Fei observed carefully through his piercing eyes. The aura exuded by Gong Wenliang was exactly the same as that of his master Fukang. There was only one explanation for this, and that was that Gong Wenliang was a
Kaiyuan realm strong man!
"This old man is in the Kaiyuan realm." Tang Xueyan's voice quietly reached Su Fei's ears. As the saint of Huntian Cliff, she naturally had this knowledge.
The two people's eyes became more and more respectful. Su Fei stepped forward to chat with Gong Wenliang with a smile. He was really suitable for dealing with the elderly. Within a few words, Gong Wenliang started laughing.
Under Gong Yang's guidance, everyone walked into the hall and sat down one by one.
Gong Wenliang is an old man who looks quite kind, but there is a scar at the corner of his eyebrow, which may have been left when he was young, which is a bit glaring.
Gong Wenliang smiled and said, "Where are you two friends from, and what do you do for a living?"
Su Fei knew that Gong Wenliang was talking about it. Su Fei smiled and cupped his hands: "Junior and sister are both alchemists. This time we happened to meet the gangster who kidnapped Chu Sheng while traveling, so we came to rescue him.
."
"Oh, both of them are actually alchemists! How disrespectful!" A middle-aged man who was about the same age as Gong Yang and looked somewhat similar came forward and said with a smile: "I am also an alchemist of the Cangji Provincial Branch of the Alchemy Alliance.
I wonder what your grades are, and where did you learn from in Dan Alliance?"
Su Fei and Tang Xueyan had already reconciled their confessions before they came back. Tang Xueyan stood up and responded with a smile: "I am the ninth grade, and my brother is the eighth grade. However, my brother and I are used to being idle and like to travel around, so we did not register with the Dan Alliance.
."
"Oh, it turns out he's not registered, haha." Gong Sui immediately lost interest in the two of them, and the original enthusiasm on his face quickly faded, especially the last two "haha" sounds, which were obviously looking down.
of arrogance.
"Gong Sui, step back." Gong Wenliang was obviously a little dissatisfied with Gong Sui. He frowned and turned around to teach Su Fei and Tang Xueyan a warm smile: "I heard that the two little friends are from
You came from the neighboring Dongjiang Province, are you coming to Cangji Province also for traveling this time?"
"They are from Dongjiang, tsk tsk tsk, the level of alchemy over there is not very good." As if he was a little dissatisfied with being reprimanded by Gong Wenliang in public, Gong Sui couldn't help but hummed a few words with a smile on his face, and couldn't even speak.
With a hint of sarcasm.
Su Fei ignored it and nodded with a smile: "Yes, we don't have a particularly good place to go. It would be great if Mr. Gong could recommend it to us."
"So I want to have a relationship." Before Gong Wenliang could say anything, Gong Sui suddenly spoke first, with a bossy look that didn't seem to regard Su Fei and Tang Xueyan as guests of the Gong family at all.
"Gong Sui, the head of the family has your say here! Stand down!" Gong Yang couldn't help but scolded him. Gong Sui was obviously lower than Gong Yang's family status, so he immediately restrained himself, but looked at Gong Yang.
Yang's eyes showed no respect for his brother at all, instead he looked unconvinced.
Su Fei sensitively tasted something from it, and he sent a message to Tang Xueyan: "When Gong Yang taught Gong Sui a lesson, he was talking about the head of the family, not his father. It seems that Gong Sui is not Gong Wenliang's son."
"It's obvious that Gong Sui and Gong Yang are not dealing with each other." Tang Xueyan also sent a message and replied: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. The Gong family is not monolithic and there are no insiders. How could Gong Chusheng's whereabouts be exposed so easily? Hehe.
"
The two looked at each other silently, understanding each other tacitly.
Gong Sui's pretentious appearance was obviously to disturb the relationship between the Huang Gong family and Su Fei and Tang Xueyan. The two of them had to take a closer look to understand the stakes behind this.
The strangest thing is Gong Wenliang's attitude. Regarding Gong Sui's outrageous words just now, he just said it indifferently and didn't scold him. Most importantly, he didn't stand directly on his son's side.
That's intriguing.
Gong Wenliang seemed to have heard nothing just now, and said with a smile: "You two children have worked hard, our Gong family is hosting a dinner tonight, firstly to thank you two, and secondly, to cleanse the dust for you two children.
."
"I'm so sorry." Su Fei suddenly grinned. The smile on his face reminded people of those philistine people. Gong Chusheng was a little puzzled, but Gong Sui started to sneer, as expected.
Such an expression.
Gong Wenliang asked his servants to arrange for the two of them to go to a room to rest first. Originally, Gong Yang planned to arrange two rooms for the two of them, but at Su Fei's strong request, it was changed to a room for two.
The room is an apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration is quite luxurious. The white floor-to-ceiling windows are opened, and the lush greenery outside is exposed. The Gong family manor is directly connected to the mountains. Not to mention the fresh air, the scenery is also first-class.
good.
After locking the door, Tang Xueyan pursed her lips: "Aunt Jin, you don't want to stay here at the Gong family, do you? We don't want to go to our destination?"
Along the way, Gong Chusheng lobbied for the two of them to stay in the Gong family, but Su Fei had always maintained an ambiguous attitude. Just now, his attitude suddenly changed, and Tang Xueyan was sensitively aware of something.
Su Fei closed the curtains, with a look of seriousness in his eyes: "Xueyan, our focus this time is not where to go, but to hide."
"Brother Chen and Brother Yang chose that destination. Although I don't doubt them, can their people really be trusted? What if the news is leaked?"
"So I think we might as well change the opportunity temporarily and stay with the Gong family for a while. We should do whatever we need to do. In the end, we will not participate in the Gong family's affairs."
"But that Gong Sui seems to be hostile to us." Tang Xueyan was a little angry when she recalled Gong Sui's arrogance just now: "This guy obviously wants to drive us away. The days ahead will not be easy."
Su Fei suddenly snickered as he had everything under control: "Believe me, with Gong Chusheng's background, he can't drive him away even if he wants to. If we want to stay, he will do his best to give it to us.
Arranging an idle position, or simply keeping us captive, isn't this exactly what we want?"
"But what will happen to our alchemy plan like this!" Tang Xueyan said anxiously: "You promised me that you would cover all the elixirs for improving my realm! And I haven't learned how to let flowers fall into my hands, so you have to teach me!"
"I know, I know, just watch it with peace of mind. If it doesn't work, we can just leave. It's no big deal."
…………
The dinner was officially held. After the main meal, there was a small party. In addition to the Gong family, some representatives of the surrounding major families and business partners were also invited. Several popular little stars were even specially invited to accompany the guests.
Each and every one of them dressed in beautiful clothes, becoming a beautiful scenery in the party.
At the party, only Su Fei and Tang Xueyan were wearing the simplest sportswear, but even so, Tang Xueyan's natural beauty instantly overshadowed these little stars who were dressed up delicately and enchantingly, even though Tang Xueyan simply put on light makeup.
Gong Wenliang was tired after only staying for a while. The venue was full of young people, and he was not having fun among these people. Gong Yang and Yu Qian personally sent Gong Wenliang away from the venue. After Gong Wenliang left, the excitement of the venue
It has obviously increased a lot.
As VIPs of the Gong family, Su Fei and Tang Xueyan naturally became the focus of this visit, but they sensitively discovered that although the people in the Gong family were very friendly and chatted with them, in fact some of them only exchanged polite greetings.
He just found excuses to leave, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from them.
"It seems that Gong Sui has a lot of power in the Gong family. Everyone is selling him off." Su Fei lowered his voice and said in Tang Xueyan's ear: "I always feel that Gong Yang is not favored. I can't understand him.
But he is the son of the head of the family."
"Ask me and I'll ask who to go with!" Tang Xueyan rolled her eyes at Su Fei.
At this time, Gong Chusheng, who was dressed in fine clothes, also came over. The three of them went to a corner and sat down. Su Fei asked Gong Chusheng about his doubts. After getting along with each other these days, everyone has already become friends.
Gong Chusheng smiled bitterly and said, "I can't explain this clearly in just one or two sentences."
"My grandfather is my only son, but I also have a second grandfather, and my second uncle is his son."
"Due to some family changes, the second grandfather was killed by the Zhang family for my grandfather. My grandfather felt that he owed something to his second uncle. He wouldn't say anything about ordinary trivial matters."
"In addition, my second uncle passed the Alchemy League's eighth-grade alchemist assessment half a year ago and is the only registered eighth-grade alchemist in our Gong family. Naturally, grandpa is becoming more and more fond of him."
When Su Fei heard this, he understood and immediately sneered: "That's why your second uncle is so unscrupulous at home. He doesn't even want to listen to his eldest brother. He even likes to fight against his own eldest brother. This is why you know that the two of us are
After becoming an alchemist, the reason why you tried your best to keep us in the Gong family is to help your father and restrain your second uncle?"
Gong Chusheng did not shy away and nodded directly: "Yes, I have this plan."
"That's why Gong Sui doesn't want to see us so much." Tang Xueyan nodded. As a saint of Huntian Cliff, she already understood this deeply: "Your grandfather is really worthy of treating Wen Liang. If he hadn't been so indecisive, he would have treated Gong Sui in every possible way.
Tolerance, why did your Gong family become like this?"
Su Fei also appreciated Gong Chusheng's outspokenness, but there was one thing he didn't say, that is, Gong Sui was probably not simply confronting him, but wanted to use Gong Wenliang's favor to continuously weaken Gong Yang's power. As for what happened next
It’s self-evident what else I want to do!
Gong Yang is the perfect candidate for the next generation of family head!
"Chu Sheng, just watch. If nothing happens, your second uncle will attack the two of us tonight and drive us out of the Gong family, and your grandfather will definitely pretend not to know anything."
