C238 (1/2)

After Nangong Xueyan pulled on Gong Yue's hand, Gong Yue used his other hand to hold tightly onto her warm and gentle hand as he pulled her hand and walked into the main house.

The floor was covered with a hand-crafted carpet of peonies blooming, the two sides of the main hall were separated by carved slabs of fine Nanmu wood, and in the room on the left was a mahogany desk with a pen holder and inkstone top, and in the inkstone platform were freshly ground ink.

On the table, a large piece of paper, carved from white marble, was lying on top of a large piece of paper. A few lines of elegant sentences were written on the paper.

To the right of the room was a round table with several plates of snacks on the table. At the round table was a young man in a dark robe, a handsome man with golden hair and red lips and white teeth. He was sitting at the desk and reading a book.

When Gong Yue saw the youth, he immediately stopped in his tracks. It was as if his feet were rooted to the ground as he stood completely still, unable to move at all.

That youth …

From the profile to it really did look like he had when he was young, it was very similar to his brother Gong Shaoyang.

With just a single glance, Gong Yue was certain that this young man who was currently reading a book in front of him, was likely Nangong Xueyan's second child!

Looking at the child's back figure that was studying diligently, Gong Yue's mouth twitched. He wanted to make a sound out of his throat, but he was afraid that he would be startled by the sight of him reading.

Just as Gong Yue was feeling excited and unable to calm down, the young man seated at the round table seemed to sense someone coming in and out, the hand that was flipping open the book shook, and immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

”Mother?”

Shaoshang turned his head and saw that her mother was standing behind him. His guard immediately loosened, and he happily called out to her mother, about to get up to welcome her.

But when he stood up, out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that her mother was not the only person in the room. Beside her mother stood another dignified man in a black robe.

”Mayor Gong, why are you being so unreasonable to my mother!” After seeing Gong Yue holding her mother's hand, Shaoshang, who had stood up, impolitely circulated his internal energy, raised his palm, and struck towards Gong Yue's chest!

”Wait!” Shaoshang, you can't fight him! ” Just as Shaoshang stood up and raised his palm to hit Gong Yue, Nangong Xueyan, who was standing beside him, immediately let out a surprised cry. He instinctively raised his hand to meet Shaoshang's palm strike.

However, just as Nangong Xueyan raised his hand, Gong Yue had already raised his free hand and struck his palm towards the incoming palm.

”Bang!”

Shaoshang took Gong Yue's palm, Gong Yue's inner force was deep, his cultivation was extremely high, even without using strength, was pushed back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Shaoshang managed to stand firmly on his feet with difficulty. Although he knew that he was not Gong Yue's match, the aura emitted from his body did not weaken at all, but instead became more powerful, staring straight at Gong Yue as he roared: ”Don't think that your martial arts are impressive, this young master will be afraid of you. If you want to disrespect my mother, kill me first and then we will talk!”

”Hahaha, good boy, you're not afraid of death. Since you know that your martial arts cultivation is inferior to mine, aren't you afraid that I'll really kill you with a single palm?” Gong Yue saw that although this youth was a little reckless, he was still a hot-blooded man. He had his own bravery and bravery, and couldn't help but smile widely as he joked around and said these words.

”Even if you kill me, you may not be able to get out of the Kang City safe and sound! Even if I turn into a fierce ghost, I will still take my life from you! ” Shaoshang became even more furious, frowned, and stared at Gong Yue with wide eyes, wishing that he could cut out a piece of his flesh from Gong Yue's body.

”Whatever, what are you two doing? Why are you shouting for us to kill you the moment we meet?”

Nangong Xueyan, who was standing beside Gong Yue, could no longer listen to him. If these two people were allowed to continue messing around, with Shaoshang's personality, he would probably start fighting his own father.

Even though Shaoshang was young, he was not an idiot. When he heard her mother say these words, he obviously knew this man, and couldn't help but look at her own mother. His eyes were already filled with suspicion.

”Foolish child, the palace lord is no other than you …”

Just as Nangong Xueyan finished speaking, before she could spit out the last few words, she heard footsteps approaching from the corridor outside. Before Nangong Xueyan could finish her sentence, the tightly shut wooden door was knocked.

”Is the Madam in? Feng Yi pays his respect. ”

Outside, Feng Yi's gentle and deep voice floated into the room through the gap of the door.

At the same time, a clear female voice sounded out, ”Beautiful big sister, are you home? Feng Yi and I have come to visit you, and we even brought the famous Eight Point Tower's signature snack, ”Ah Gel Hardening Ointment”, which has the nourishing effect of beauty.

When Gong Yue, who was standing in the room heard the voices of Feng Yi and Chu Yunge, his thick black sword brows slightly raised as he looked puzzledly at Nangong Xueyan.

Nangong Xueyan immediately revealed a gentle smile, ”I came in a hurry, and I just spoke a few short words, so I didn't have the time to explain in detail to you. Let's invite the two of them in first. ”

As he said that, he let go of Gong Yue's hand and took the initiative to walk to the door, slowly opening it.
