When this sentence came out, everyone felt it.

There's something wrong with these two people.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Qingsui blinked his big eyes, poked Gu Shen, and asked curiously: "What's going on with these two...?"

Is this little girl’s gossip soul starting to burn brightly again?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and took a sip of wine: "Children worry all day long, don't ask so many questions..."

Li Qingsui puffed up her cheeks and took a long sip of juice.

If you don't say it, don't say it. I'm not a fool.

Besides... even a blind person can see the general relationship between these two people!

"About a year ago, I noticed something was wrong." Mu Nan sighed and said meaningfully: "As for when did these two start, I'm afraid it must be earlier, right?"

There was a burst of laughter at the table.

Shen Li quickly raised his glass and laughed loudly: "The person named Gong hides it really well!"

According to Mu Nan, the "underground romance" between these two people should have been developing in secret before, hiding something from the family forces of both parties...

Gong Zi coughed, waved her hands in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Actually, it's not that I'm hiding it, it's just that things are not as simple as everyone thinks..."

Luo Yu was startled.

"I have told the head of the family that the Council of Elders is discussing it." Gong Zi looked at Mu Ya and chuckled: "But... I have won the rookie battle this time, so I think they will respect my wishes."

Mu Ya lowered her head and smiled, but said nothing.

The two of them just said a few words.

Everyone at the table heard some unusual information.

If you think about it carefully, maybe this matter... is indeed not that simple.

For ordinary people, free love has no worries and can be brought to the table openly. However, for behemoths like the Five Families, it is not child's play and they are not so free.

Gong Zi is the eldest son and successor of the Gong family.

His identity, from the moment he was born, determined that future "marriages" would take into account the interests of the family.

The situation faced by Mu Ya is actually similar. She is also an important direct member of the Mu family.

The reason why the two did not announce their relationship is also very simple.

Only with enough "power" can we have the real "right to speak."

Gong Zi knew very well that as the eldest son, if he could not sit in the corresponding seat... he would have to make corresponding sacrifices, so he practiced hard and worked hard not only to win the "Dream of Fire"

, also in order to be worthy of the name of "eldest son".

The reason why the five great families are able to stand on the top of Nagano.

This is because only the strongest person in the family is qualified to become the "head of the family".

This has been the case for six hundred years.

…

…

The topic became a bit serious.

Shen Li suddenly didn't know what to say.

Luo Yu quickly drank the glass, changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "I just heard that Brother Gong is going out for training, what are your plans next?"

"I want to go to the tundra to practice. Or go further, maybe leaving Dongzhou, maybe."

Gong Zi lowered his head and smiled, saying: "After the battle with Bai Xiu... I understood the gap between myself and found the direction of my next practice."

Although Nagano Castle is warlike.

However, due to the existence of the Federal Security Council, except for a very small number of containment missions that are out of control and have high risks... most missions and operations are carried out under strict supervision.

A large number of extraordinary geniuses have been cultivated here, and it is the cradle of the title of the Eastern Continent Federation... But one thing is undisputed.

Those strong men who have truly achieved great things are those who walked out of Nagano, went to the battlefield, and returned home full of honors. They experienced desperate situations and faced life and death.

In a sense, this is indeed a "greenhouse".

A "greenhouse" that is closely protected by [Wind Boy] and [Earthworm], creating a "fighting arena" environment.

I want to truly become stronger.

Staying in the Snow Forbidden City... is not enough.

Luo Yu, who has always been good at human relations and sophistication, felt a little regretful after asking this question.

He saw Gong Zi's eyes.

The look in those eyes was extremely determined... He had seen it once when he challenged Baixiu.

It has to be said that after comprehending the "Dream of Fire", the temperament of the eldest young master of the Gong family has indeed undergone a huge change.

Luo Yu could tell.

Gong Zi is not just talking about traveling far and gaining experience.

He is serious.

Everyone at the table looked at each other.

Mu Ya spoke.

She asked softly: "How long...are you going to go this time?"

"A year, a month, a day?"

The moment Gong Zi raised her head, the firm look in her eyes disappeared instantly. She did not dare to look directly into Mu Ya's eyes. Instead, she looked around and said with a bitter smile: "Everyone at the table knows me...I am not

What kind of person with perseverance, what kind of experience in life and death, just talk about it, maybe go to the tundra, freeze to the point of peeing, and come back the next day."

Very funny joke.

Normally, everyone would have laughed.

But this time, no one laughed.

Li Qingsui, who was sipping on a juice straw and couldn't help laughing, saw the solemn look on the table, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

She looked a little confused.

Originally, this celebration banquet was a happy one... Gong Zi finally won the newcomer battle. According to the story plot that I usually see, he should have successfully embraced the beauty in the end.

How come things are different from what I imagined?

She looked at Gu Shen in confusion.

Gu Shen silently took a sip of wine and said softly: "You will understand this matter when you grow older."

The eldest son of the Gong family has great freedom in many things.

Gong Zi can "freely" mobilize the [Wind Boy] in the Snow Forbidden City and command the [Earthworm]. As the confirmed next head of the family, he has most of the privileges of the Gong family.

However, in very few things, he just doesn't have that much freedom.

"Twenty years ago, the Gong family had a marriage with the royal family from Qianjin City in Beizhou." Chu Ling's voice sounded a little regretful, "According to the agreement, Gong Zi will marry the daughter of Duke Duoyang of Qianjin City, although I can't understand it.

The binding force of something like this engagement contract... But judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for the Gong family to respect Gong Zi’s personal wishes."

I see.

No wonder, after the rookie battle ended that day, this woman sat alone in the corner, waiting for everyone to leave before she dared to look at Gong Zi more.

This is a love affair that lives underground.

The more Gong Zi shines, the more so.

The engagement contract and Gong Zi's true crush were actually matters tacitly understood by the two families.

There are no secrets in the Snow Forbidden City.

Not to point it out is actually the greatest "respect".

The atmosphere at the table was a little tense.

The next moment, Mu Ya raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"You just said...a year, a month, a day?"

She looked at Gong Zi, smiled and said: "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

The voice was a little shaky.

At this moment, the gun salute sounded.

On the main stage of the celebration banquet, the good news that Gong Zi was about to become the next head of the family was announced.

The five families are very strict in selecting "successors".
