Chapter 488 Cousins Reunited
"I didn't reveal any flaws!"
“It was a great performance!”
"Do you think they will believe it?"
"It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Even if they find something wrong in the end, they won't be able to trace it back to us."
"That's right! But it's all true. We're not making it up, are we?"
Gong Yuanzheng stood beside Li Lun, looking calmly at Gong Shangjiao who was walking away and Gong Huanyu who had long disappeared.
"You are willing to do it!"
Li Lun looked down at Gong Yuanzheng who was eating candy beside him, "Aren't you afraid that he will get angry if he finds out?"
"Why should I be afraid of him getting angry?"
Gong Yuanzheng tilted his head and looked at Li Lun, "Is he someone irreplaceable?"
Gong Yuanzheng walked in front and Li Lun walked behind.
Gong Yuanzheng was jumping in front, with the silver bells ringing above his head, and he was walking towards Gong Yuanzheng in the moonlight. Li Lun kept turning the rattle in his hand to accompany the silver bells.
"As expected, you become different after spending time with your father, but why does Zhuo Yichen always look stupid?"
Li Lun looked at the twins Gong Yuanzheng, and thought of Zhuo Yichen, the famous commander of the Demon Collection Bureau.
"My second brother is a kindhearted person, and my father and the others have tried their best to prevent him from getting involved in these things."
"What about you? You can obviously live like Zhuo Yichen, why do you want to get involved?"
"No regrets on your move! There is always a loss if there is a gain, I am not afraid of anything."
"But if you make the wrong choice, you will end up losing everything, right?"
Gong Yuanzheng's face turned cold instantly, his eyes seemed to be swallowed by darkness, the cold light emitted from his eyes seemed to be able to freeze the person in front of him instantly, and murderous intent spread as his eyes changed.
"I never make the wrong choice. Even if he is wrong, I will make him right." Gong Yuanzheng raised his chin slightly, "Because I have the strongest backing behind me, right?"
Li Lun thought of His Highness behind Gong Yuanzheng and the divine beast guard beside His Highness, and chuckled, "Indeed! You have so much capital that you will never make a mistake."
The guards of the Corner Palace were on their routine patrol. The leading guard and his men were standing guard at the gate. As soon as he yawned, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing past.
"I think I saw something run in?"
The head guard rubbed his eyes and looked behind him, but he didn't see anyone. While he was still wondering if he was seeing things, he saw their young master running towards them with a lantern in his hand not far away.
The captain of the guards tidied his appearance and just as he raised his hand to greet Gong Shangjiao, he was directly ignored by Gong Shangjiao.
The captain of the guards had a stiff face and raised his hand.
"Am I someone insignificant?"
"Captain Jinshui, there are so many people coming and going around Master Jiao, and the one he sees the most is Commander Jin Fu. Maybe he has some urgent business to deal with, so Master Jiao didn't see you!"
Jin Shui lost his temper immediately after being bullied by his subordinates. "Go away! How could I not understand Master Jiao? Our Master Jiao is always cautious!"
The subordinates looked at him speechlessly. The captain of the guards, who was sulking just now, now had a happy expression.
Gong Shangjiao followed Gong Huanyu all the way to the gate of Shangguan Qian's courtyard. Jin Fu looked at the young master who had "come back from the dead" and found it hard to accept it for a moment. He pointed at Gong Huanyu and looked up at the sky.
Hmm! Very good, at night, it is indeed the time when evil spirits and monsters appear.
Gong Shangjiao looked at his always reliable and trusted bodyguard, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Send Jin Fu to the guest room, and send someone to the Zheng Palace to ask a doctor to come and check on him."
Gong Shangjiao ordered his servants to send Jin Fu to the guest room. He was still worried and asked someone to go to the palace to invite a doctor.
Gong Shangjiao dismissed all the people around Shangguan Qian's courtyard, "All of you retreat a hundred steps away. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach this place!"
Gong Shangjiao glanced at the treetops outside the courtyard and saw the leaves shaking twice, as if something had left.
Gong Shangjiao walked into Shangguan Qian's courtyard only after making sure that no one was nearby.
As soon as Gong Shangjiao walked into Shangguan Qian's bedroom, he saw Gong Huanyu and Shangguan Qian hugging each other tightly.
"It's my fault! If I had been braver, you wouldn't have been taken away by Wu Feng's men!"
"Cousin! It's not your fault! You were just a child at the time!"
"No! I have grown up. I dare not disobey the rules I have always adhered to. If I could break those rules, perhaps the Gushan Sect would not be strangled by Wufeng, and my uncle and the others would not have died!"
Gong Huanyu wished that he could rub Shangguan Qian into his body.
Gong Huanyu knew too well how many cruel things Shangguan Qian had gone through to grow into what she is now!
"At least, we are still alive, right?"
Shangguan Qian comforted Gong Huanyu, "We still have a chance to kill Wufeng and avenge our parents, Gushan Sect, and those who died because of Wufeng!"
Gong Huanyu stretched his arms and looked at his sister who had been so soft when she was little, but now had become an assassin with blood on her hands. His heart couldn't stop bleeding.
"I still remember when you were just born, your uncle and aunt brought you here, and I even held you in my arms!"
Gong Huanyu cried and gestured to the young Shangguan Qian, "You were so small and soft back then. When your aunt put you in my arms, I didn't dare to move at all. I was afraid that I would hurt you by accident!"
Gong Huanyu put his arm around Shangguan Qian's shoulders and slowly knelt down, "I swore to protect you!"
"It's my brother who is useless!"
"It's because of my weakness that you have become like this!"
Shangguan Qian's eyes were slightly moist and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Brother, at least it's not too late now!"
"You still have a chance to make amends!"
Gong Huanyu knelt on his knees, leaning forward slightly, as if bearing a heavy burden. He raised his head high, looking directly at Shangguan Qian, revealing a complex emotion of despair and desire.
Shangguan Qian stood there quietly, lowering her head and eyes, and her expression could not be seen clearly. She looked a little tall, and her moon-white dress fluttered in the wind, as if a fairy had descended to the earth.
Gong Huanyu's lips trembled slightly, and he finally uttered a sentence with difficulty: "Do I... still have a chance?" These words were like a candle in the wind, which could be blown out at any time.
His voice was filled with uncertainty and fear, as if he was asking a question he already knew but was afraid to face.
At this time, Gong Huanyu was like a believer with nowhere else to go, placing his last hope on the god in his heart - Shangguan Qian.
He didn't know whether Shangguan Qian would give him a positive answer, or just turn away indifferently, leaving him wandering alone in the endless darkness.
"Yes! As long as you are willing, there is always a chance to turn back! Brother, I have been stumbling forward alone all these years, and now I have you!"
Shangguan Qian slowly squatted down and stretched out her hand to stroke Gong Huanyu's cheek.
"Brother, I am no longer alone on this road."
