Bulwark of Light

Chapter 409 Xu Yan, Really Disgusting
Surname Gong?

The Grand Duke of Duanyang's heart sank, thinking that the world is always like this, he is afraid of what will happen... The person who came is probably from the Gong family, but he came all the way to Beizhou, and he didn't even say hello in advance of it?
This is bad.

Grand Duke Duanyang quickly ordered the servants to treat the guests well, find a stable place for the time being, and he will arrive later.

The Grand Duke closed the door and took a deep breath.

"The Gong family...someone is here!"

He looked back at Lin Sheng, and asked coldly: "Are you going to kneel down here all the time? At least you have to go with your father to receive him?"

got no response.

Grand Duke Duanyang sighed lightly.

He came back to his daughter, "Tell me... who is that man you fancy?"

Lin Sheng said softly: "He is also a small person, you must have never heard of him."

The word also is intriguing.

Because Meng Xizhou from the Meng family fell in love with a small person.

Meng Xizhou is extremely talented, and her cultivation talent can be called a monstrous evildoer. She even had the opportunity to worship under the divine seat of Guangming City. Such a woman bears the hope of the entire Meng family. She wants to regret her marriage, and the whole Xizhou is shaken by it.

Grand Duke Lin Yu of Duanyang looked at his daughter with complicated eyes.

Obviously, my silly daughter regards her as "Meng Xizhou". No matter how you look at it, she is far from Meng Xizhou... and I, of course, cannot be compared with the Meng family.

The title of Duanyang has been conferred for a hundred years, and the three generations of ancestors have won the favor of His Majesty the Beizhou Emperor, but even so, they have paid unimaginable painstaking efforts and made great contributions in exchange for today's peace and tranquility.

Lin Yu had been stationed at the front line of the fortress for nearly ten years when he was young. He was in charge of guarding the Gubao Fortress at the apex of the main wing.

In Gubao, he met Gong Qing, the head of the palace family who was also young.

The transcendents of the five continents are all proud of arriving in Beizhou to perform missions... At that time, [Deep Sea] had not yet been created, and many transcendents would come to the fortress and apply to join the legion.

Lin Yu became close friends with the boy surnamed Gong. At that time, neither of them knew that one was the heir of the Gong family, and the other was Duanyang Lord. The two families had a long-standing and profound friendship for a century. It was fate, until the end of the first year of staying in Gubao, the two "unnamed" young people became celebrities, and they discovered each other's true identities when they chose to continue to stay.

Later, Beizhou ushered in the most turbulent war era in the past 50 years. Lin Yu blocked a deadly bullet of strong logic for Gong Qing, and Gong Qing carried Lin Yu on his back when the source energy armor was fragmented. Across the battlefield for tens of miles, the two young people thought that they would die for sure. Lin Yu smiled and cursed as his last wish. He was the only child in the family. If he hiccupped, no one would inherit the title. Too early to have a son yet.

Gong Qing said, if you live, you can live.

Lin Yu cursed again, but unfortunately, even if he had a son, he couldn't get rid of the cabbages of the Gong family.

Gong Qing said, if you survive, you can do it.

Then... this doll kiss was settled.

Then, the two of them really lived.

In the bullets that shuttled one after another, the war in Beizhou ushered in the end, and Her Majesty the Queen calmed down the flames of war and brought the final peace.

And Gong Qing and Lin Yu also ushered in the final farewell after the completion of the residency period.

The fate of life is fickle.

At that time, the two young people thought that even if they were separated, there would still be opportunities to get together often.

It's just... many things can often only be guessed at the beginning, but not the end.

From that day on, the two families were still in contact, but they rarely got together.

A few years later, Lin Yu and Gong Qing were no longer young, and the two of them were very drunk, only to find out that something unexpected happened to their baby relatives back then. Lin Yu had a beautiful daughter, while the Gong family had a beautiful daughter A big fat boy.

Lin Yu was so angry that he slapped the table.

But actually... in the final clink, both of them had a good laugh.

They all remembered the desperate scene of lying in the heavy snow when they were dying, and being able to survive was the greatest luck.

Lin Yu was very lucky in the first half of his life.

And now.

He is old and has retired from the front line. Her Majesty has given him the greatest sympathy and respect so that he can enjoy his life in the manor. In the final turbulent battle, there are too few lucky people, and the The "Grand Duke" confers the title, and there are only so few people in the entire Beizhou, and they can be counted on the fingers of a wrench.

Lin Yu had nothing else to ask for now.

He only hopes that his daughter can live happily.

……

……

Gong Zi was taken to a side hall of Duanyang Manor.

He was in no hurry.

For this visit, I didn't say hello in advance, and didn't reveal my identity directly. I just said my surname, and it was reasonable to be taken to the side hall... No matter what, just relying on the surname of "Gong" , the Grand Duke will also meet with him, and at that time, he can tell about the divorce.

Gong Zi took a sip of tea.

He looked calm and composed, but in fact... he was quite nervous in his heart.

According to Gong Zi's knowledge, Grand Duke Duan Yang and his father are life and death friends.

Back then on the battlefield, they owed each other several lives.

This marriage is the link between the Gong family and Duan Yang's title.

Now that she hastily came to the door and announced the divorce, it might misunderstand Grand Duke Duanyang. Gong Zi silently thought about how to explain it so as not to hurt the relationship between the two families.

And...not to hurt the heart of that girl from the Lin family.

If I remember correctly, in the early years, when I came to Beizhou as a guest, I still played with Lin Sheng, and the girl's face was already a little blurred in my impression.

Later, Gong Zi didn't have time to come to Beizhou again.

The connection between the two... is becoming less and less.

He rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

In any case... When the news of the divorce reached Dongzhou, his father must have been furious.

Waited for a while.

Gong Zi finally waited for Grand Duke Duanyang to come. In the side hall in the distance, there was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, and he came quickly with his daughter.

Gong Zi and Grand Duke Duan Yang were startled when they saw each other.

"Gong Zi?"

Grand Duke Duanyang never expected that the person who came to the door this time was not the messenger of the Gong family.

It was Gong Zi herself!

The reason why Gong Zi was startled was...he saw the face of the girl from the Lin family, the pear blossoms were covered with rain, and there were still tears. It was obvious that she had just cried.

"Uncle Lin."

Gong Zi hurriedly got up to greet her, and then saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite..."

Lin Yu's eyes were a bit complicated, which was really unexpected... All the rhetoric he had thought in his mind, after seeing the person who came, all of a sudden became useless.

I stayed in the hall for a while before.

He planned... When he saw a visitor from the Gong family, if the other party did not mention the marriage contract, he would not mention it, and let the matter be shelved for the time being. After he finished dealing with it, he would find a good time to contact Gong Qing and think about it.

just.

Gong Zi is no ordinary person.

It is almost certain... that he came to Beizhou for the "marriage contract".

The two parties drank tea in the side hall.

First, I exchanged a few words of pleasantries. If anyone was listening in the side hall, they would definitely be able to detect that both sides were thinking about each other and were absent-minded.

Finally... Gong Zi couldn't hold back anymore.

After toasting tea several times, he straightened his body and said cautiously: "Uncle Lin... I took the liberty to visit this time because of the 'marriage contract'."

Lin Yu let out a long sigh in his heart.

really.

What should come, will always come.

He assumed a posture of listening carefully.

next moment.

Gong Zi took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, and said in a low voice: "I came to Beizhou... to withdraw from the engagement..."

Lin Sheng, who had been hanging his head in silence, suddenly raised his head.

She looked into Gong Zi's eyes, becoming surprised and stunned.

Grand Duke Duanyang was also stunned.

"For this matter, I forgive the junior for being presumptuous and rude. This visit is also the intention of the junior."

After Gong Zi opened his mouth, his expression was dignified. He no longer hesitated, and said all the words he had held back, and said solemnly: "It's not about belittling Duanyang's title, let alone Miss Lin Sheng..."

The latter words are no longer so important in Duke Duanyang's mind.

Probably.

This time the divorce was done by him alone, he already had his own heart, and he hoped that the Grand Duke would make it happen.

Besides.

I hope that the relationship between the Gong family and Duanyang will not be interrupted... This time he is retiring the engagement, he will do things alone, so don't ruin the friendship between his parents.

Hearing this, Lin Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, the tears that swirled in his eyes suddenly came out.

After kneeling in the hall for a long time before, my father didn't let go, but it could be seen that... his heart had softened.

It's just that this visitor to the Gong family is Gong Zi herself.

When she saw Gong Zi, she had already given up hope for the justifiable divorce, and was about to consider how to elope with her sweetheart next.

But I didn't expect...the peak turned around.

The tears of the girl from the Lin family startled Gong Zi.

He stopped quickly, his voice a little ashamed, and said: "Miss Lin Sheng... what's wrong with you..."

Did I break this woman's heart by retiring this time?

"She's fine."

Grand Duke Duanyang's voice sounded slowly.

Lin Yu rubbed the center of his brows, his gloomy expression slowly relaxed at this moment, but just looking at his face... it seemed that he had aged several years.

"Gong Zi... I know why you are here."

Lin Yu was silent for a long time.

He said softly: "It's hard work for you, a young man, who traveled thousands of miles to come to Beizhou to find me... If this matter is reported back to Nagano, your father will be furious. If I remember correctly, you won the Dream of Tinder last year , has become the future heir of the Gong family, right?"

If this matter is passed back to Nagano.

Xiaogong's position as Patriarch may be subject to many shocks.

Gong Zi was slightly taken aback.

"Let's do it... Let me talk about the divorce."

Grand Duke Duanyang looked at his daughter, sighed softly, and said slowly: "I will make it clear to Gong Qing, so that you will not suffer unjustly."

Having said so much, how could Gong Zi not understand?

He was not the only one who wanted to retire.

The Duanyang Lin family also wants to dissolve the engagement... Miss Lin Sheng must not shed a single tear at this moment, but shed it for herself.

The big rock hanging in Gong Zi's heart finally fell to the ground.

The scene in the side hall was a bit awkward at the moment.

Lin Sheng kept crying.

I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Your luck seems to be good?
Going to Beizhou, the most worrying thing has also been solved!
……

……

"Brother Gong?"

Gu Shen looked at the screen that appeared on the communicator.

"it's me."

A year away.

Gong Zi's face has changed a little bit. One day ago, he was still unkempt and unkempt, but because he came to the door to withdraw from the engagement, he shaved off his beard and carefully repaired his face. At this moment, he looks as handsome as ever. Compared with when he left Nagano, Can't see much change.

"How did you contact me?"

Gu Shen was a little surprised.

Going to the north, Gong Zi didn't tell the second person about Duan Yang's divorce... But if she wanted to visit her, she naturally wanted to avoid the gaze of the Gong family and find a good opportunity. There is no doubt that before returning to Dongzhou , Gong Zi should not use the deep water area network.

"you guess……"

Gong Zi tried her best to hide her smile, but the slight movement of raising her eyebrows still did not escape Gu Shen's attention.

Gu Shen laughed softly: "Congratulations, the divorce is successful."

"It's no fun talking to someone like you."

Gong Zi sighed with emotion, and asked, "Isn't this calculated by divination?"

"Where do you need to use divination for this kind of thing?"

Gu Shen asked back with a smile, and said slowly: "I don't think you have eaten and drank in Beizhou this year, and you should have luxurious clothes... If you hadn't come to the house to retire, you wouldn't have dressed as carefully as you are now."

Gong Zi touched her cheek, and said helplessly: "Okay, is it a sin to be handsome?"

Say it.

He lowered his voice, "Actually, this divorce was a little too smooth."

When he said these words, he hadn't recovered yet.

Gu Shen glanced at the background of the image emerging from the communicator.

He reminded: "You should still be in Duanyang Manor, right? Be careful what you say."

"It's okay."

Gong Zi smiled, "The Duke of Duanyang let me stay overnight, and I will leave tomorrow and return to Dongzhou..."

The two have a deep friendship, but they are too far apart.

Gong Zi finally came here.

The Grand Duke of Duanyang will definitely stay for one night, at least entertain him well.

Aside from the marriage contract, this is also the young man I admire the most.

"Grand Duke Duanyang's daughter also wants to withdraw from the engagement." Gong Zi sighed and said, "If it wasn't for my visit this time, this matter would have become very complicated..."

It's a coincidence!
Gong Zi came to the door this time to express her heart.

By chance, the situation was clarified, and at least the two families would not cause any misunderstanding.

This paper marriage was born because of the friendship between the fathers of the two families.

It is also because the two descendants have their own intentions and leave.

It would be the best ending for the Grand Duke of Duanyang to speak out in person.

"It's a happy event."

Gu Shen was really happy for Gong Zi, he smiled and said, "Do you need me to talk to Miss Mu Ya?"

"No need!"

Gong Zi was in high spirits, and said: "When I leave and return to Dongzhou, I will give her a surprise!"

It can be seen that Gong Zi is in a good mood now.

"Then I'll wait for you in Nagano."

Gu Shen smiled and shook his head, seeing that the other party hung up the communication.

I spent a day in meditation at Chunyu Temple.

Waiting for news from Gong Zi.

Should this be a good sign?

Before Gu Shen could think about it, there was a knock on the door outside Chunyu Temple.

Luo Yu looked dignified, he pushed the door in, sat opposite Gu Shen, and drank a big mouthful of tea.

"bad news."

Fatty Luo looked at Gu Shen, "Xu Yan... passed the review."

……

……

"The new S-rank—Xu Yan!"

"The most gifted dream interpreter ever in Nagano."

"No——the most talented spiritual transcendent."

Posts like this are constantly being refreshed in the deep water area forum of the Forbidden Snow City, like snowflakes. Today's tribunal Gymnasium opened up the permission of spectators, so that everyone can watch the screen of Xu Yan passing the S-level review.

A large number of extraordinary people poured in, and the seats were full.

It is comparable to last year's rookie finals.

And many people can only wait outside the gymnasium.

So after uploading the full video of Xu Yan Shenwu, it immediately attracted a lot of clicks.

The spiritual geniuses in the Forbidden Snow City expressed their emotions one after another...

Xu Yan set a new record!

It took him only one and a half hours to unlock the three nightmare-level sealed items of the review team, which was faster than Gu Shen's file. After completing three dream interpretations, Xu Yan applied to observe the interior of the tribunal "Awakening of Insects Scroll".

As the first volume of the breath of spring.

This is a secret scroll that shouldn't be taken out and randomly given to others for enlightenment.

But... Xu Yan's teacher's name is Zhu Wang.

Zhu Wang used the privilege of the "Grand Adjudicator" to take out the Jingzhe scroll, so Xu Yan started the second performance in front of everyone in the Forbidden Snow City. It took him five to 10 minutes to complete the participation in the Jingzhe scroll. Enlightenment!

Before that, the fastest enlightenment record was one hour and 45 minutes!
Comprehending the Awakening Scroll within two hours... In a sense, it is considered to have the potential of "S-level", and the record of comprehending within five to 10 minutes is simply unheard of.

This news is even more shocking than the previous continuous comprehension of three nightmare sealed objects!

Xu Yan's name successfully shocked the entire Nagano.

It also managed to draw attention to another long-lost name.

That name...is called Gu Shen.

"Everyone remembers how you got your 'S-rank'." Luo Yu looked a little annoyed, and he said angrily: "Because of Xu Yan's appearance, many people now think you are an 'unworthy' S-rank."

It's normal to have this thought.

The challenges that Xu Yan made were too targeted.

This is to set the standard against Gu Shen, he has done almost everything that Gu Shen has done... This is to follow the path that Gu Shen has walked!
He just needs to walk faster than Gu Shen!
People will only remember Xu Yan's name!

"I contacted my friends from the safety committee right away, but it's a pity... Du Wei told me that Xu Yan's mental state is very normal and extremely stable."

When saying these words, Luo Yu punched the table hard.

How he wished that this Xu Yan, like Zhu Wang's former disciple Lian Zhou, was a "pseudo-genius" who used illegal authority to break through forcibly!
Unfortunately……

The power that Xu Yan displayed was real.

Gu Shen smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He was about to say something.

"Brother Gu, you don't have to comfort me. I just find this Xu Yan not pleasing to the eye, no matter how I look at it, how angry I am..."

Luo Yu said sullenly: "Xu Yan, it's really annoying!"
