Emperor Liang was sowhat weary, it was now the perfect opportunity to remove the Gu worm.
The Miao King shalessly followed along.
Half an hour later, he was being dragged out of Bixia Hall by two stout matrons holding his arms.
Miao King: ... Dog Emperor! I will co back—
-
Gongsun Yanming took a carriage back to the Thousand chanism Pavilion.
Xiao Chen remained unconscious all the way after being beaten up by the Miao King.
Gongsun Yanming did not use the main gate, instead he went around to the western side door and entered the residence from there.
"Big Brother!"
Gongsun Yu hurried forward, he had been waiting here for a long ti, "I heard Chen’er got into trouble..."
Just as he spoke, he noticed his big brother’s injured left hand.
He was shocked and worried, "Big brother, your hand..."
"Carry the person inside."
Gongsun Yanming instructed.
"Carry..." Gongsun Yu looked behind Gongsun Yanming, suspiciously lifted the curtain.
Seeing the disfigured Xiao Chen, he almost didn’t recognize him, "Big brother! Who injured Chen’er like this?"
Gongsun Yanming said, "The Miao King."
Gongsun Yu was dumbfounded, "Wha-what?"
"Find soone to take a look at him."
After saying that, Gongsun Yanming walked away on his own.
Gongsun Yu stared at Xiao Chen and took a breath of cold air, "Who hit this hard... Soone! Take the young master back to the courtyard and go invite Elder You."
After settling Xiao Chen, he caught up with Gongsun Yanming, and they walked together towards Mingxin Hall.
"Big brother, I have sothing to tell you."
His expression was very grave.
Gongsun Yanming said faintly, "Let’s talk another day."
Gongsun Yu hesitated to speak.
As soon as Gongsun Yanming entered Mingxin Hall, he sensed sothing strange.
The red lanterns with the festive character had been removed, and even the servants were all gone.
Mingxin Hall was deserted.
Imdiately after, he saw footprints spreading from the front yard to the entrance of the corridor.
He walked down the corridor.
Every stone gate was open as if specially waiting for him.
Suspiciously, he went to the courtyard at the very end.
He arrived at the door of the guest room with the Ice Bed.
Xiao Rong’er was sitting in front of the Ice Bed, her back facing him, she didn’t turn around, just said in a hoarse voice, dejectedly, "You’re finally back."
After entering the room, Gongsun Yanming imdiately saw Gongsun Ziyu lying on the Ice Bed.
She was dressed in a bridal gown stained with blood, an arrow pierced through her chest, she was long gone.
At this mont, Gongsun Yu arrived outside the door.
His expression was complex as he spoke, "Big brother, Ziyu is gone, this is what I wanted to tell you just now..."
Gongsun Yanming frowned tightly, his hands clenched into fists.
Xiao Rong’er had a pale face, mocking laughter, "So you didn’t want to listen at all when the second brother ntioned Ziyu’s matter."
Gongsun Yanming asked, "What on earth happened?"
Xiao Rong’er raised her hand, wiped away falling tears, and laughed sadly, "You’re asking what happened?"
She stood up, turned around, and said fiercely, "After all these years as husband and wife, I gave birth to two children for you, and yet you colluded with an outsider to kill your own daughter! Gongsun Yanming, can you justify yourself to !"
Gongsun Yanming stared straight at her, "Did you go to kill Yan Xiaojiu?"
Xiao Rong’er laughed, "Yes! I went to kill her! If you hadn’t swapped her with Ziyu behind my back, Ziyu wouldn’t have died..."
Her smile vanished, pointing at Gongsun Yanming in anguish and hatred, "You killed Ziyu! Give back my daughter! Give back my daughter!"
Gongsun Yu, shocked and terrified, quickly entered the room and stopped Xiao Rong’er from drawing her sword on Gongsun Yanming, "Sister-in-law, let’s talk this out! Put the sword down first!"
Xiao Rong’er broke down crying, "I can put down my sword, but can I get my Ziyu back?"
Gongsun Yu advised, "Sister-in-law... big brother didn’t want this either... how could big brother harm his own flesh and blood?"
Xiao Rong’er turned her head and scolded him fiercely, "So you’re saying it was who killed Ziyu?"
Gongsun Yu quickly waved his hand, "No sister-in-law... I didn’t an that..."
Xiao Rong’er said mockingly, "Of course, it’s always the Gongsun family, but when sothing happens, you only side with your big brother! I had planned everything perfectly!"
Gongsun Yanming looked at the arrow in Gongsun Ziyu’s chest, "Was this arrow shot by you?"
His words, like a cold arrow, struck Xiao Rong’er’s forehead.
Xiao Rong’er froze instantly.
After a mont, she lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.
Gongsun Yu looked at her worriedly, then at his big brother, helplessly covering his forehead and turned away.
He wiped his reddened eyes and said to Gongsun Yanming, "Uncle Xiao is waiting for you at Tianshou Pavilion."
Gongsun Yanming t Xiao Mubai, clad in Mystic Robe, at Tianshou Pavilion.
"Father-in-law."
He bowed respectfully.
Although Xiao Mubai was nearly seventy, he was still robust.
However, the unfortunate death of his granddaughter had dealt a significant blow to this elderly man.
He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the scenery outside the window.
"Was Liuying’s wedding smooth?"
Gongsun Yanming replied, "The ceremony was completed."
Xiao Mubai slowly turned around, looking at him with deep eyes, "I don’t want you to bla Rong’er for Ziyu’s matter."
Gongsun Yanming said, "I understand, father-in-law."
Xiao Mubai asked, "What was that girl’s na?"
Gongsun Yanming answered, keeping a straight face, "Yan Xiaojiu."
Xiao Mubai asked sternly, "What’s her background?"
Gongsun Yanming t his father-in-law’s sharp gaze, "She is the orphan of the Shang Family."
Xiao Mubai frowned, "Wasn’t the Shang Family only left with Changle and Wuyou? How is there another orphan?"
Gongsun Yanming sighed, "I am also investigating."
Xiao Mubai’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent, "The orphan of the Shang Family cannot be kept."
Gongsun Yanming said, "I will avenge Ziyu."
Xiao Mubai said coldly, "Ziyu’s revenge must certainly be avenged, but I an... those two bastards must also be killed together! Dare to harm my granddaughter, I want all the Shang Family’s bloodline to be buried with her!"
Gongsun Yanming walked to his father-in-law’s side, "Changle is at Witch Mountain, can’t move her for now, as for Wuyou, his life belongs to dicine King Valley, if I kill him, I won’t be able to explain it to dicine King Valley."
Xiao Mubai looked at him heavily, "Whether you explain it or not is your business, all I want is for everyone to be buried with my granddaughter! Rember, your position as Sect Leader, how did it co about. Back then, your master passed the Thousand chanism Pavilion to Zhongli Yuan’s daughter. If it weren’t for intercepting his letter, could you have the position you hold today?"
Gongsun Yanming responded calmly, "Your great kindness, father-in-law, I will never forget."
Xiao Mubai patted his shoulder, "I know you’re reluctant, fifteen years, even if you raised a dog, you’d develop feelings. But since you’ve benefited from the Xiao Family, you must make so sacrifices, don’t you think?"
...
"Big brother!"
Gongsun Yu had been pacing behind the rockery at Tianshou Pavilion for a long ti, finally waiting for Gongsun Yanming, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Uncle Xiao didn’t bla you, right?"
In Gongsun Yanming’s eternally calm eyes, there was finally a trace of killing intent, "I really underestimated her."
Having lived for so long, it was the first ti soone had set him up so ruthlessly, not only ruining his major plans but also making him personally destroy his daughter’s life.
With a single palm strike, he smashed the mountain stone!
