The Indomitable Master of Elixirs
chapter-946

Following that, Gong Qiang turned back to Ji Fengyan with a chuckle. “Ji Fengyan, right? Young lady, there are some jokes that should not be made easily.”

Ji Fengyan shrugged. Her evil-vanquishing sword slid out of her sleeve with a shake of her wrist. With a sword in hand, she raised her eyebrows and said, “You will soon find out whether I am just joking.”

Gong Qiang’s expression shifted as his eyes narrowed. A sinister gleam shone in his eyes. He suddenly snapped his fingers and hundreds of men in black surged out from the two sides of the main hall, wrapping Gong Zhiyu and Ji Fengyan.

Gong Huiyu could hardly believe that Gong Zhiyu had the audacity to bring Ji Fengyan inside Zhai Xing Lou, despite knowing her intentions. It was clear from Gong Zhiyu’s action that he wanted to go against Gong Qiang!

“I want to see if you have the ability to destroy Zhai Xing Lou.” Gong Qiang chuckled. He didn’t appear at all nervous, but actually looked more relaxed. He propped up his chin with one hand and turned his gaze towards Gong Zhiyu.

“Yu, you have not disappointed father after all. Earlier, you let me down after failing to accomplish that matter with Fu Guang City. But I never realized how capable you are. You have actually brought their new ruler here today. You have truly redeemed yourself.” With that, Gong Qiang gestured at Gong Zhiyu.

“Come over here.”

Gong Zhiyu looked at Gong Qiang expressionlessly, but didn’t move forward.

Displeasure flashed across Gong Qiang’s eyes.

“Yu, you are father’s most beloved child. I know you are just under the influence of lust and beauty. I can forgive you if you just come over here now.” Gong Qiang said in a false act of magnanimity.

The only response he got was Gong Zhiyu’s bitter laugh.

“Child? When have you ever treated us as your children?” Gong Zhiyu stared at Gong Qiang as the many years of pain and suffering rushed to the forefront of his mind. “I have only one question for you. Where has my eldest brother gone to?”

Gong Zhiyu’s abrupt query stunned Gong Huiyu—he had absolutely no idea what was going on. Gong Zhiyu should have been battling Yan Luo Dian, but had suddenly brought Ji Fengyan back to Zhai Xing Lou. She was obviously here to stir trouble, but Gong Zhiyu remained resolutely by her side. Even more confusing was the fact that Gong Zhiyu… was suddenly asking about the eldest brother.

“Your eldest brother?” Gong Qiang raised his brows in amusement.

“Rui left the Free Valley long ago and has been touring the outside world ever since now, hasn’t he? I have no idea where he went.”

“You don’t know… you don’t know… hahaha…” Gong Zhiyu gave a low laugh. His voice was full of pain and anguish. He suddenly looked up at Gong Qiang with eyes full of hatred. Glaring steadfastly at that revolting face, he spat out the words.

“Gong Qiang, you deserve to die.”

“Second brother!” Gong Huiyu promptly stepped forward. “Have you gone crazy? This woman is Zhai Xing Lou’s enemy, but you are siding with her to go against us? What madness is this!”

“Huiyu.” Gong Qiang’s venomous eyes flickered between Gong Zhiyu and Gong Huiyu. “Your second brother has betrayed us. As the young master of Zhai Xing Lou, you know very well what you should do?”
