Gong Yue raised the wine cup in front of him and said to Feng Yi: "From Xue Yan, the two of you have saved the lives of the mother and son before. This palace has no way to repay you.
As he spoke, he drained the cup of wine in one gulp.
Feng Yi immediately stood up with his wine cup: "City Lord's words made us ashamed, it's just that we didn't know your true identity at that time, even if we didn't personally help, you would definitely be safe and sound."
Chu Yunge also agreed: "That's right, the name 'Asura's Dual Blades' is not randomly called out, big sister's martial arts is so much higher than mine!"
Nangong Xueyan smiled and said, "Yunge and I are very close. How about we become sisters of the opposite sex?"
Chu Yunge immediately slammed the table, "Alright, Feng Yi is Shaoshang's master. If we were to become sisters, wouldn't that mean we would be kissing? "Furthermore, it did not mess up the seniority, but …"
Nangong Xueyan saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated. She thought that she had some misgivings, so she casually asked, "Does Yun Ge have any misgivings?"
Chu Yunge glanced at Gong Shaoyang, and said: "If we were to become sisters, wouldn't Young City Lord have to call me Aunt? I'm afraid he won't! "
"He dares! The two of you have saved Xue Yan and taught Shaoshang. Why shouldn't I call you Aunt? " Gong Yue's face became serious, and he threw a glance at Gong Shaoyang.
When Gong Shaoyang saw the dignified gaze his father shot at him, he felt such hatred in his heart.
He had originally wanted to return to Kang City and take this opportunity to teach Chu Yunge a lesson. Coincidentally, Chu Yunge was also one of the candidates for the competition, so he could help her wear small shoes behind her back.
However, he didn't expect that before he could make a move to punish Chu Yunge, not only did he not take revenge, his position had even dropped a level.
What kind of logic was this?
Why did everyone in the world like Chu Yunge so much?
Was Chu Yunge really that likeable?
Gong Shaoyang thought indignantly, but because his father was present, he did not dare to reveal his emotions on his face, so he could only clench his teeth and sit on the chair expressionlessly.
Chu Yunge was overjoyed in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "If Young City Lord doesn't object, then I'll respectfully obey. It just so happens that I also have thoughts of becoming sworn brothers with my elder sister!"
"Really? "Then that's great, it's better to choose than to strike. How about today?"
It seemed like Nangong Xueyan was also an impatient person who did as she was told.
"Just what I want!" Oh, and that's right, and also the prince of Feng Lai. I think that our sisters' sworn brothers should actually have two overlords to testify! "
The more Chu Yunge spoke, the more excited she became. She grabbed onto Nangong Xueyan's hand and stopped talking.
Gong Yue quickly ordered the servants to prepare incense and other heaven worshipping items for the two to use as sworn brothers.
Very soon, the servants had prepared these useful items, setting up a sacrificial altar in the middle of the courtyard, and lighting incense candles.
Nangong Xueyan pulled Chu Yunge's hand and knelt down beside him, swearing an oath and kowtowing.
After kowtowing nine times, Chu Yunge grabbed Nangong Xueyan's hand and affectionately called her elder sister.
Nangong Xueyan replied with a smile and affectionately called out to her younger sister.
Gong Yue smiled and nodded at the side. Someone had said that the happiest thing in the world was to regain what he had lost, and that was probably what Gong Yue was feeling right now!
Back then, he had thought that he would never be able to see Nangong Xueyan again in his lifetime. However, he had never expected to see her again after the New Year with his own child.
Chu Yunge walked to Gong Yue's side and sweetly called out: "Brother-in-law —" Then she extended her small hand, "Brother-in-law, give me a red packet, right?"
Gong Yue quickly took out a jade pendant from his bosom. This jade pendant was entirely green, the rare emerald color of an Ancestral Mother.
"I was in a hurry and didn't have the time to prepare a gift. This jade pendant that I have worn for many years has the effect of repelling evil spirits. I hope I don't mind!"
Chu Yunge played with the jade pendant for a few times before stuffing it into her pocket. She knew what it meant, it was such a large piece of emerald, other than the three imperial families, only the owner of the Kang City could take it out.
"Shouldn't you change your mind?" Chu Yunge walked in front of Gong Shaoyang and said with a mischievous smile.
"You — —" Gong Shaoyang wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but then he saw his father look at her with a look of warning.
"Greetings, aunt …" Gong Shaoyang could only cry out softly.
"What?" "Didn't you hear — —" Chu Yunge deliberately covered her ears with her hands and said loudly.
This was simply going too far!
In his heart, Gong Shaoyang really wanted to ruthlessly beat Chu Yunge to the ground, then use his foot to ruthlessly stomp on Chu Yunge a few times. However, in the end, he still shouted out, "Aunt — — Mother!"
Chu Yunge scratched her ears and nodded her head in satisfaction, she then took out a 'candy', "Good nephew, Aunt doesn't have anything good here, only this bean is good, do you want to eat it?"
Feng Yi, who was at the side, shuddered and quickly snatched away the candy, "How can you take out this? I have prepared a greeting gift for you. "
Feng Yi took down a snow-white jade ornament from his waist, and handed it over to Gong Shaoyang: "This is not some valuable thing, but you can take it to any Moon Pavilion to request for them to do anything, this jade ornament is the only one in the world, now you have one in your hands."
Chu Yunge lowered her head to look at the jade ornament on her waist. This was something Feng Yi had casually given him, but he had never said that the jade ornament had such uses!
Gong Shaoyang took the jade ornament and hung it around his waist, the displeasure on his face finally subsided.
In this way, the atmosphere became more lively. The few of them exchanged cups and unknowingly drank a few more cups of wine.
What made Gong Yue feel gratified was that Gong Shaoyang actually loved his little brother who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Furthermore, Gong Shaoyang was extremely respectful to Nangong Xueyan, and his tone was respectful and humble.
But he didn't know that Gong Shaoyang had his own intentions for treating this little brother well.
Because of Gong Shaoyang's carefree nature, he was not very diligent in training, but his martial arts were mediocre at a young age. And what he usually liked the most was to roam the mountains and water, to sing poems, to taste all the delicacies in the world, and to find a beautiful woman to be his companion, to join the world and roam freely in the martial arts world.
To Gong Shaoyang, the thing he was the most proud of and the most glorious thing in the world was not necessarily being the master of some Kang City, or being the chief of some martial arts alliance.
To him, the happiest thing in the world was to be a free and unfettered young master from a rich family, free from any worries regarding food and clothing.
See the beauty of the world, appreciate the spring color of the world.
This was the life that Gong Shaoyang wanted.
However, what made him feel helpless the entire time was that, although his father was a city lord of Kang City, he only had one son, and he didn't have any other brothers or sisters. In the future, when he would inherit his father's inheritance, the heavy burden of becoming the next city lord of Kang City would inevitably rest on his shoulders.
But he also knew that in terms of martial arts, his potential was mediocre. Normally, they didn't like to think too much. As the mayor, he could not help but to make profits for the people of the city by seeking a place to live in the gaps between the three kingdoms.
All these aspects were related to extremely meticulous strategies and tactics, and he was not good at them at all.
Let alone playing with power, even if he were to become the city lord and be sold to his subordinates, he would probably have to foolishly help count the money.
For example —
It was the same when Chu Yunge sold him off …
Therefore, when he became the next City Master of Kang City, he would be forced into a corner.
Now, of course, it would be a good thing to suddenly have a half-brother! In that case, wouldn't the burden on his shoulders be lifted?
Isn't it enough for the young little brother to be the one to handle everything?
This way, Gong Shaoyang could continue his dream life and become a relaxed Rogue Immortal who roamed the world.
This little brother had come at the right time, of course Gong Shaoyang liked him a lot.
Gong Yue was unable to see through Gong Shaoyang's thoughts. He only thought that Gong Shaoyang was born magnanimous and not a person who liked to fuss about things, then he let go of his worries and looked at his eldest son happily. In a deep voice, he said, "Shaoyi, your husband sees that you seem to really like this little brother of yours, perhaps you grew up by yourself, and are indeed a little lonely compared to the other children."
"Father is right!" Gong Shaoyang's gaze was never as sincere as it was now. He looked at his father with extreme seriousness, and said with a clear voice: "From the time I was a child until now, when I grew up alone, to see other families' children accompanied by brothers and sisters, I am extremely envious. Now that I have a little brother myself, of course I would like it! "
"Young lady, but..." Don't be mad at your father for not telling you anything about your brother. Actually, your father only found out yesterday that you have a younger brother. When your mother was still alive, I had received the snow swallow's favor while I was away. "But we lost contact later on, so …" Although Gong Shaoyang did not show any displeasure, Gong Yue still wanted to express his guilt.
"Father, what are you saying? Your son has a brother now, so it's equivalent to having another relative. Your son will definitely be happy." Furthermore, our mother has long passed away and our father lives alone. It is indeed time for us to remarry and marry a new mother. " Gong Shaoyang was someone who had seen a big scene before, so of course he would say these words casually.
Moreover, these words were half true and half false. He did not have a good impression of Nangong Xueyan, but he truly liked his new little brother from the bottom of his heart!
With this little brother, as long as little brother works hard, even though he is the second son, in the future, he can also inherit the position of City Master of Kang City, and will be able to live a carefree life!
Chu Yunge, who was sitting opposite to Gong Shaoyang, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing his words. Gong Shaoyang's little thoughts couldn't be hidden from her eyes.
