Obligations of the elderly

The Gong family sent an invitation letter to Xiliu, that's right, it was the Gong family, the Gong family they had often heard about since they came to Puzhou.

It was delivered by the other party's big housekeeper, Xie Kai signed for it, and then handed it over to Xiliu's case.

The other party obviously did some research on Xiliu, because the invited guests stated on the invitation letter were the two names of Xiliu Ji and Gongsi.

Most people only think that Xiliu's surname is Xi or Liu. If you know the Ji surname, you must investigate it. But being able to write the name of the palace can only show that the other party has investigated in more detail, and even his weapon has been investigated by the way. .

"Did it take so long? I thought it would be faster." Glancing at the invitation, Xiliu casually handed it to the palace who was doing homework.

Seeing the invitation letter, Gong Si also understood, pouted: "They're checking you."

"It's not surprising. The amount of my investment is almost the same as that of the Puzhou Economic Promotion Bureau. They will naturally want to investigate." Xiliu laughed.

Glancing at him sideways, Gong Si grumbled in his heart: He said it was a small investment before, but it looks like it's not small at all!

"How to say?" Gong Si looked sideways at him without revealing what was on his mind.

"Of course I want to go. The reason why I increased my investment is actually because I want to see him..." Xiliu said, looking forward with deep black eyes.

"Him?" Gong Si frowned.

"Yeah." Xiliu smiled, as if he saw a person in the opposite air. He looked at "that person" calmly, and said softly to Gong Si: "It's not from the Gong family, but from the beginning. The new energy went to the man from the Gong family."

***

"That's right, as you said, some adventurers found that new energy in the Black Soil Continent, and then they came to the Gong family..." Gong Si recalled what Xiliu had said to him, and at that time he just listened casually Listen, however, no matter at that time or later, when it comes to new energy, people always mention Gongjia first, so he cares more about Gongjia, and ignores the person who first discovered new energy.

Gong Si is now sitting in the car with Xi Liu, A Qiang drives the car himself, and Xie Kai sits in the front passenger seat, there are several identical black vehicles at the front and back, and their convoy is now on the way to Gong's house.

The mansion where the Gong family entertained them was on a floating island three hours away from where they lived. At first, there were other vehicles around them, and gradually they were the only ones left.

"From the beginning, I have been very concerned about the adventurers they mentioned." Sitting beside Gongsi, Xiliu said quietly: "Especially after they took out the so-called new energy carrier..."

Gong Si frowned: "After coming here, people have mentioned new energy all day long. Even if it's not this word, it's other words with similar meanings. What exactly is new energy?"

"It's the energy of the devouring system." Xiliu said suddenly, "If I'm not mistaken."

"Huh?" Gong Si turned to look at him——

"Are you surprised? When I first touched the so-called new energy carrier at the Economic Promotion Bureau, I was also surprised." Xiliu said.

"It looks like a solid, and it contains extremely concentrated devouring energy, which is very similar to my ability, but it seems to be even more intense..."

"The moment I felt that energy, I suddenly felt that very dangerous."

Xiliu spoke plainly, his black eyes quietly looking at the car window in front of him. A warning sign of "private road" appeared in front of him, which means that this road has been built by private people from the beginning, and no one can enter without permission.

Next to the private road, there is a big word "Gong", which means that this is the road of a family surnamed Gong.

"You mean...the new energy they found is the energy of the devouring system?" Gong Si was still in shock: "They used the method of devouring to refine weapons?"

"I don't know exactly how to do it, but if the Gong family is using this kind of energy to refine their weapons, then they are indeed using the energy of the devouring system to refine their weapons."

"But..." Frowning, Gong Si opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"It's amazing, isn't it? So... I'm very interested in the person who discovers this kind of energy." Xiliu said, his eyes were still looking ahead, their speed had slowed down, and they had already landed on the island before they knew it. On a large floating island, a straight road stretched out in front of them. On both sides of the road were neatly manicured green lawns. The afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the lawn and on a white mansion at the end of the road. The courtyard wall, the edge of the entire floating island is the outer wall of this mansion. Two rows of waiters in uniform are respectfully waiting on both sides of the gate of the mansion. On the steps, the palace first saw the old man who had sent the invitation letter to them The butler, then, he saw a young man standing beside the old man——

He was about the same height as him, a little thinner than him, with short brown hair hanging neatly by his ears. The boy was standing there. This person should look good, right?Gong Si is not very good at describing his appearance, he just thinks he is cold and serious.

Indifferent and serious, the young man stood tall and tall on the top floor of the steps. He stood guard in front of the gate, and he seemed to be here to welcome guests, but with this murderous aura...

Ah Qiang opened the car door for him.

Gongsi came out from one side of the car door, and at the same time, Xiliu also came out from the other side. Accompanied by the housekeeper, the young man walked towards them. I shook hands.

This was the first time that Gong Si was shaken by someone in such a formal way. The strength of the other party's handshake was a bit strong. Gong Si couldn't help but look at the palm of the other party's hand. He saw layers of scars on the boy's hand.

Densely dense, with new wounds and old wounds, this is...

Gong Si was watching, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in the palm of his hand. He instantly felt as if he was surrounded by sharp blades, and then his hand instinctively turned into fire.

The feeling of the sharp blade disappeared in an instant, and the palm was still burning. Gong Si raised his head to look at the other party, and when he bumped into those indifferent black eyes, he heard the other party introduce himself in a cool and clear voice:

"Hi, both of you, the current Patriarch of the Gong Family is my grandfather, and I am Gong Si."

Gong Si thought to himself: Sure enough——

As early as the moment he saw the other party, he realized that the other party was probably the young master of the Gong family whose name was similar to his own. However, when he heard the other party introduce himself, the pronunciation that sounded exactly the same made Gong Si feel a little strange for a moment.

"Sorry, the surname Gong is quite rare. It was the first time I met someone with the same surname and the same pronunciation as me since I was a child, and I was dazed for a while." Gong Si first apologized for his short distraction, Then he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is also Gongsi, and I am Xiliu's partner."

Then, Gong Si felt those glass-like black eyes glance over his face again——

"Me too." The cold voice sounded again: "The name Gong Si, even if it is a name with the same pronunciation, is the first time I have heard it, including before I was born, this place has not appeared for a long time."

His tone was very ordinary, but Gongsi always had a feeling of deep hostility from the other party, and this strong feeling of being targeted made him feel very uncomfortable, so his tone of speech was also a bit blunt:

"Hehe, is that right? I thought it was a common name. When I was born, my dad was lazy and easy. The first name he gave me was Gong Si. When I registered for my account, my uncle said that Gong Si's strokes were not good. It was changed to a palace for me..."

"Ah..." As if he suddenly remembered something, the eyes of the kitchen knife slanted down: "Things like strokes are feudal superstitions, just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

Then, he saw that the other party looked at him with more "cold" eyes.

It was obviously a very cold look, but coupled with the other party's restrained anger, Gong Si always felt that he saw a raging flame that was quietly burning in the other party's glass bead-like eyes.

Yo!In the end is he a fire device or he is a fire device!The opponent's eyes were burning, but he didn't know this kind of skill.

After finishing speaking, Gong Si shrugged and moved to the side of the stream.

Seeing the other party suppressing his anger and returning to the front to lead the way for his party, Gong Si secretly said to Xi Liu in his heart: "What's the matter?What I did just now won't cause you any trouble, will it?For example, people don't want to do business with you anymore...』

Even though he said that, he didn't feel guilty at all in his heart. The other party's attitude towards him was fundamentally problematic. Treat him like a face!

Gong Si never thought of himself as a good-tempered person.

Xiliu just smiled slightly: "It's just right for you, I've never been interested in being regarded as a good gentleman." 』

"oh?Not interested?I think you have always been a good gentleman, you were so kind to me the first time you saw me..." Gong Si raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"You said it too, it's right for you!" 』Xi Liu said with a smile in his heart.

"..." x, I feel like being molested again—cheeks are inexplicably hot, Gongsi is silent, but Xiliu continues to chat with Gongsi in his heart while following her in the luxuriously decorated corridor——

"In business, although some people say that harmony makes money, you can't make money even if you are gentle. 』

"The reason why I can successfully participate in this investment project is not only because of my money. It is useless to have money alone, but if you have money but are weak, it is better. The other party only uses money and does not communicate with you further. One point, maybe they will take the money and kill the investors directly. 』

Seeing Gong Si looking at him in surprise, Xi Liu just smiled slightly, and then continued to say in his heart: "I guess, the reason why they invited me was not because of my money, although having money to a certain extent can indeed become a kind of Super power, but my investment amount this time is not comparable to super power; it is not because of my surname. Look for Sheyun, they will invite me to further open up this project to me, the main reason is because of you—”

As the stream spoke, it stopped in its tracks.

"I? 』Gong Si was surprised, and suddenly saw that everyone had stopped. He looked around, only to realize that he had arrived in a spacious room with windows on all sides, and the last ray of skylight was covered by heavy curtains , in this room, the most eye-catching arrangement is a huge long table, which is filled with exquisite meals, and there are three chairs on both sides. Then, at the end of the long table, he saw an old man.

It was an old man with a fair beard and eyebrows, but his hair was not sparsely gray, with a small... braid on top of his head?Gong Si only thought of this adjective, with a strange braided hairstyle on the top of his head and a long snow-white beard on his chin. He was wearing a set of strange clothes. Although he didn't know much about Puzhou's traditional costumes, he had discovered it now. : In a rich family, the older the older the more he likes the tradition. He is probably wearing the traditional clothing of Honshu, but it is not as gorgeous as the traditional clothing of Jizhou that She Yunji wears. The old man is wearing short clothing, no The pattern, the fabric is clean, and it looks quite strong. After a few more glances, I think this outfit is easy to work in...

Just as Gong Si was thinking this, the old man had already stood up with a smile: "You are finally here, come on, please take a seat, and serve tea quickly."

The first half of the sentence is to the stream in Gongsi, and the second half is to the waiters.

The three waiters came out from the screen behind the old man, pulled out the seats for the three of them, and then poured tea for the three of them.

Picking up the tea in front of him, the old man shifted his gaze to the palaces and streams: "I am the Patriarch of this generation of Puzhou Gong Family, Gong Sanyue, the new generation of Fire God Zhu Rong, I have wanted to see you for too long, our Gong Family "It's been so long since I've wanted to see you!"

Saying that, the old man looked at Gongsi, his eyes seemed to be full of water, and when an old man looked at him like this, the tea in Gongsi's hand was hard to drink, until the old man finally had enough of seeing it, and poured the tea in his cup After drinking it all in one gulp, Gongsi drank up the tea in his cup.

Well, it seems that the other party's investigation is really comprehensive. Not only did they find out the relationship between Xiliu and Ji's family, but they even found out that he is a new generation of Zhu Rong. No wonder Xiliu said that the main reason why the other party invited him was herself.

Is it because he is Zhu Rong, the god of fire that the craftsmen like most?

Gong Si thought in his heart that the teacup he just drank was quickly filled by the waiter at the side, and then, new waiters came in one after another to serve them. The old man just introduced Puzhou to them. The special meal, unexpectedly did not mention the Vulcan Zhurong, nor did it mention the new energy.

Seeing whether it was the stream or the glass-eyed Gongsi on the opposite side, both of them were eating, Gongsi simply began to seriously enjoy the food in front of him.
