"Your five older brothers?" Gu Li's face was filled with even stronger curiosity.

"They are not my brothers, they are my cousins. I have an older brother, and my father has two sons!" Su Yiyu's voice was steady and firm, as if emphasizing an indisputable fact.

There was a hint of warmth in his eyes, and when he mentioned his real brother, his originally cold expression softened a little, as if ice was beginning to melt under the warm sun.

"Then why do you become the young master?" Gu Li's curiosity grew stronger and stronger. In her understanding, isn't it usually the eldest son who inherits the family throne?

"Because of my talent in refining equipment, my father always wants me to manage the family, but my eldest brother is much better than me!" Su Yiyu's tone was full of dissatisfaction. He frowned slightly, seeming to have some complaints about this arrangement.

Seeing his expression, Gu Li guessed that he and his brother seemed to have a good relationship, so he didn't say anything else.

After all, from the subtle changes in Su Yiyun's expression, she could feel the sincere brotherhood.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You haven't been to the imperial city yet! I'll take you out for a walk." Su Yiyu decisively skipped the topic, with an excited look on his face.

"Okay!" Gu Li nodded gently. She was also quite interested in this place.

She has been here for so long, and this is the second imperial capital of a country she has visited. Before that, she was busy dealing with Gu family affairs and had never seriously gone out for a walk.

Su Yiyun happily took Gu Li out, but just as they walked out of the yard, they were stopped by a servant.

"Young Master, the head of the family wants you and this young lady to go see him!" the servant said respectfully, lowering his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Su Yiyu's eyes.

Su Yiyu frowned and asked, "Why is he looking for me?" There was a hint of impatience on his face, as if he was very disgusted with his father's call.

The servant replied respectfully, "I don't know!" His tone was humble, for fear of angering the young master.

"Got it. I'll be there soon. You go down first!" Su Yiyun waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Yes!" the servant responded and left.

Su Yiyun pulled Gu Li without hesitation and walked quickly towards another path.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at a remote wall.

"What are you doing?" Gu Li raised her eyebrows and asked Su Yiyu who was pulling her.

Her eyes were full of doubts. Aren't you going to see his father? Why are you here? It's so remote and it doesn't look like the place where the head of the Su family lives.

"Why go? Let's go out and play!" Su Yiyu's tone was filled with excitement and rebellion, as if he was challenging his father's authority.

In the past, whenever he made a mistake, he would sneak away and come back after the incident had passed.

"Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?" Gu Li said with some amusement.

Judging from the looks of it, his father actually seems to be quite good to him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do this.

As for what he said about how his father treated him, as the head of the family, he always cannot take care of everything and tends to overlook some things.

"What are you afraid of? The two of us have the fighting power to escape from him. We are not afraid of him!" Su Yiyun's eyes were full of confidence. He believed that he and Gu Li were strong enough to deal with any situation.

However, before Gu Li could speak, a voice rang out.

"Oh, really?" The voice was low and majestic, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

Hearing this voice, Su Yiyun's whole body froze, and he looked at Su Hai who was walking in the dark with disbelief. His eyes were full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that his father would find this place.

"How do you know I'm here!" There was a hint of guilt in Su Yiyun's voice, and his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.

"Hmph, I'm your father, how could I not know what you want to do?" Su Hai snorted coldly, his eyes full of blame and dissatisfaction.

His face was somewhat similar to Su Yiyun's, with a dignity and steadiness that came from years of experience.

Gu Li said nothing, just quietly looked at the middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Su Yiyu, guessing that this should be Su Yiyu's father.

She tried to feel Su Hai's strength, but found that she could not see it at all. She only knew that his strength was above hers.

"Follow me!" Su Hai glared at Su Yiyu fiercely. His eyes seemed to be able to shoot sharp arrows, with unquestionable majesty.

Then, he looked at Gu Li, and said in a slightly softer tone: "Come too!"

Su Yiyu noticed that Su Hai's gaze fell on Gu Li, and his reaction was almost instant. He reached out and pulled Gu Li behind him, took a step forward slightly, and blocked Su Hai's gaze with his tall body.

He looked unhappy, frowned, and shouted: "Hey! Why are you so fierce!"

Su Hai was so angry that he almost laughed when he saw his son's reaction.

If you didn't know him, you would think he had done something unforgivable. Wasn't it just a glance at that girl? Was he so nervous?

"Are you coming?" Su Hai asked again, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

If you don't come, don't blame him for being violent. He's just a little kid, but he has such a bad temper. If he hadn't been protecting him, Su Yiyun would have been out of the Su family long ago because of his stubborn character.

"I don't..." Su Yiyun was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Gu Li before he could finish his words.

"Go." Gu Li's voice was concise and firm.

Su Yiyun said with an unhappy look on his face: “Okay!”

Although he was reluctant, he still listened to Gu Li's words.

Seeing that his son listened to the woman so much, Su Hai couldn't help but look at Gu Li again.

He became more certain of their relationship, after all, he knew what had happened at the door before.

This is the first woman who can be protected by Su Yiyu like this.

Su Yiyun and Gu Li followed behind Su Hai, walking slowly. Along the way, Su Yiyun stayed close to Gu Li, as if he was afraid that she would get hurt.

They walked through the winding path and came to Su Hai's yard.

Su Hai strode to the main seat and sat down. Seeing this, Su Yiyun pulled Gu Li to sit next to him without hesitation, not caring whether his father allowed it or not.

Su Hai's gaze shifted from Su Yiyun to Gu Li. After taking a quick look, he said, "This girl must be the guest you brought."

Gu Li nodded slightly and responded politely: "Hello, senior."

Su Hai nodded slightly, and looked at Su Yiyun again, "You kid, you are becoming more and more unruly. Your father asked you to see me, and you dared to disobey."

Su Yiyun curled his lips and said, "Dad, every time you come to me, it's always bad news. I don't want to go."

Su Hai frowned, "What are you talking about? I am doing this for your own good and for the future of our family."

Su Yiyun said disapprovingly: "I don't care about being a young master. I just want to be free to do what I like."
