#46 - Xiao Li secretly fell in love

The Great Elder Xu Tianhai didn't dare to utter a word.

Normally, his authority and status as the Great Elder in the Xu family were higher than Xu Fengqiu's.

But because Xu Fengqiu had been too aggressive recently,

it caused him, the Great Elder, to subconsciously not want to interfere.

Although he thought Xu Fengqiu's behavior just now was too reckless,

he just didn't quite dare to stop him.

"Ahem, Qiu'er ah."

"Great Elder," Xu Fengqiu cupped his fist in greeting.

"I won't say much more, this Elder believes you can make the right judgment yourself. If anything comes up, discuss it more with the Family Head."

Xu Fengqiu nodded: "Please set your mind at ease, Great Elder."

"Mm."

Xu Tianhai glanced at Xiao Li, then walked out of the main hall.

Xu Fengqiu ruffled Xiao Li's hair: "It's okay now. In the future, if anyone bullies you, remember to tell this Emperor. If you can handle it yourself, then kill them. You have this Emperor behind you."

Xiao Li softly said with a slight tremor in her voice: "Thank you, Young Master..."

"Let's go."

"Mm..."

Xiao Li obediently followed behind Xu Fengqiu.

Xiao Li really never expected that Xu Fengqiu would discipline Gu Changsheng so harshly for her sake.

Gu Changsheng wasn't just some small fry.

Xu Fengqiu's actions made Xiao Li feel overwhelmed by favor and extremely touched.

Especially when Xu Fengqiu said they could get married tomorrow.

It made her heart flutter like a little deer.

Both shy and nervous.

"Ding... Xiao Li's affection for you has reached 50 (secretly harboring feelings)."

The higher the affection, the more difficult it becomes to increase it.

And Xu Fengqiu's kindness to Xiao Li wasn't just purely for the sake of increasing affection.

It was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

...

"Xu Fengqiu!"

In a mountain cave.

Gu Changsheng, covered in blood, opened his eyes, filled with resentment.

He, Gu Changsheng, had the same status as Xu Fengqiu.

In terms of background, his Gu family was much stronger than the Xu family.

However, he was treated like an ant by Xu Fengqiu.

This was how he, Gu Changsheng, should have been treating Xu Fengqiu.

He almost lost his life in the Xu family.

But he, Gu Changsheng, couldn't even tell others about being bullied like this, nor could he easily tell the Gu family.

At least not openly seek revenge from Xu Fengqiu.

Why?

Because his weakness was in Xu Fengqiu's hands.

Gu Changsheng, in the eyes of the world, was a perfect gentleman.

If they completely broke face, and Xu Fengqiu announced this matter to the world,

he, Gu Changsheng, would become the shame of the Gu family, a laughingstock to the world.

His halo would be gone.

This was also one of the reasons why he had to comply with Xu Fengqiu's wishes in the Xu family's main hall.

Crack, crack, crack—

Gu Changsheng clenched his fists.

"You wait for me! This Young Master will have his own way to return today's humiliation a hundredfold!"

No!

His injuries were too severe.

He had to return to the Gu family, otherwise he might die.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Emperor Clan, the Gu family.

A group of experts came to the Young Master's Peak.

Gu Changsheng's father, the Gu family's head, Gu Fangzhou, hurried over.

"Family Head."

The crowd saluted.

"How are Changsheng's injuries?" Gu Fangzhou asked anxiously.

An old man shook his head: "His life is not in danger, but..."

"But what?"

The old man: "The Young Master's injuries should have been caused by prolonged beating. The other party didn't intend to take the Young Master's life, but just wanted to torture him. It seems to have been done by someone who deeply hates the Young Master or my Gu family."

A murderous intent flashed in Gu Fangzhou's eyes, and he quickly walked into the room.

"Changsheng..."

"Father..." Gu Changsheng said weakly, his face pale.

"Who did it!" Gu Fangzhou asked.

"This..."

Gu Changsheng really wanted to say that it was Xu Fengqiu who did it.

But, he didn't dare.

His wings, his reputation, he cared too much about them.

Gu Changsheng shook his head slightly: "This child doesn't know."

"You are upright, support the weak, and are kind-hearted, never making enemies, it is impossible that you provoked any enemies." Gu Fangzhou pondered for a moment.

Torturing him like this, and not wanting to kill him.

What was the purpose?

The purpose was to threaten his Gu family, to give his Gu family a show of force.

Or to give someone in his Gu family, such as him, Gu Fangzhou, a show of force.

"What are the characteristics of this person?" Gu Fangzhou asked again.

Gu Changsheng casually made up: "Wearing a black robe, wearing a mask, this child really doesn't know."

"Not daring to show his true face, then it must be someone familiar to you and me, hmm, rest well."

After Gu Fangzhou finished speaking, he walked out.

Gu Changsheng clenched his fist.

Even if his father spent manpower investigating, it wouldn't matter.

He would find an opportunity to take revenge for this matter himself.

After Gu Fangzhou walked out, his face was full of anger.

"Pass down the order of this Family Head, gather the Gu family, and destroy the Shi family."

The Ten-Thousand-Year Emperor Clan, the Shi family, was his Gu family's enemy for many years, with many grievances.

Resource competition, worldly grievances.

Also.

The Shi family's head, Shi Sandao, pursued the same woman as him, Gu Fangzhou, and also became mortal enemies.

In the end, this woman was pursued by him, Gu Fangzhou, and gave birth to Gu Changsheng.

But these years, in order to develop, they naturally wouldn't clash head-on,

Just a few days ago, in an auction.

Gu Fangzhou and the Shi family's head, Shi Sandao, competed for a treasure, frequently bidding.

In the end, it was still taken by him, Gu Fangzhou.

After the auction, Gu Fangzhou led people to humiliate Shi Sandao.

Saying that he couldn't compete for a woman in the past, and even the child was born.

He couldn't compete for resources, and he naturally couldn't compete for auction items in the auction.

Then Shi Sandao became angry out of humiliation and wanted them to wait.

Now that he thought about it, wasn't this Shi Sandao retaliating against him?

Not daring to kill his son Gu Changsheng, fearing that he, Gu Fangzhou, would directly act regardless of everything.

But now, Gu Fangzhou wanted Shi Sandao to know that he had provoked the wrong person.

...

The Shi family.

"Family Head! It's not good, the Gu family is crazy, Gu Fangzhou is leading thousands of Heavenly Dao cultivators, more than a hundred Immortal Emperors, even the Gu family's ancestor has come out of the mountains, heading straight for my Shi family!"

"What!" Shi Sandao stood up: "Is Gu Fangzhou crazy?"

Although the two families had feuds, they were also clear that once they fought, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

"What happened?" Shi Sandao frowned.

"Why would the Gu family suddenly attack my Shi family? Aren't they afraid of mutual destruction?"

"What exactly is going on? Does anyone know?"

"..."

Gu Fangzhou led more than a hundred Immortal Emperors of the Gu family, aggressively arriving at this place.

It also caused tremors on the continent.

Xu Fengqiu had just turned the Eighth Heaven upside down, how come the Gu family and Shi family were about to fight again?

"Shi Sandao! Get out here for me!"

Gu Fangzhou roared.

The Shi family's sect-protecting formation had already been activated.

Shi Sandao led a group of experts, looking down at them from above.

"Gu Fangzhou, what medicine did you take again?" Shi Sandao scolded angrily.

"Shi Sandao! What a good name, Two-faced Shi Sandao, do you still have any face? You beat my son Changsheng half to death, do you think that if you don't kill my son, this Family Head won't touch your Shi family? I'll make you regret it today!"

Shi Sandao frowned: "Gu Fangzhou, what do you mean? When did I attack Changsheng? Don't spout nonsense."

"You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, right? Today, I, Gu Fangzhou, will definitely wash your Shi family in blood!"

Shi Sandao gritted his teeth: "Good, you Gu Fangzhou, you want to condemn me without any grounds. If you want to attack my Shi family, you should at least find a plausible excuse. You mocked me in front of everyone at the auction, I haven't calmed down yet, and now you're coming to attack my Shi family, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Hearing this, Gu Fangzhou was furious: "It really was the auction! I knew it, kill them for me!"

"Kill!"
