"The War King has arrived? Which War King?"
"You're from the Abyss? Who else could it be? Of course, it's the War King of the Northern Territory, Gu Qingfeng!"
"What? You mean that pillar of the empire? That legendary figure! Why is he here?"
"I don't know. Judging from the direction, he seems to be heading towards the Li family."
A floating warship, a flag with the inscription "Gu" on it!
Gu Qingfeng hadn't even appeared, but the tens of thousands of Lincheng citizens below were in an uproar.
Excitement, excitement!
This is the King of the Seven Northern Cities!
His unexpected appearance in Lincheng today filled everyone present with a sense of immense honor.
Soon, the floating warship landed above the Li family.
Beneath the flag, warriors in black armor stood proudly like javelins, their iron-blooded, murderous aura rising to the sky, almost making everyone afraid to look directly at them.
Gu Qingfeng walked out of the command room, stood before a group of personal guards, and gazed down at the Li family below.
At his side were Qin Yun and the butler, Gu He.
"It's Gu Qingfeng!"
"Oh my god, it's the War King himself!"
"What the hell just happened? How could such a powerful figure come to Lincheng?"
"The floating warship landed above the Li family. Is it heading for the Li family?"
"What do you think? Is there a possibility that Gu Chen is Gu Qingfeng's son?"
"Do you think I'm from the Abyss? Gu Qingfeng only has one son, Gu Ci. Not only did he awaken a rare class early, he was also accepted into the Shangjing Academy. How could Gu Chen be his son?"
"Forget it, guessing is pointless. Let's go to the Li family."
At this moment, Lincheng was practically deserted, everyone rapidly moving towards the Li family.
Outside the Li family manor, a sea of people thronged shoulder to shoulder.
The streets, trees, railings, eaves, rooftops...everywhere, whether they could stand or not, was filled with people.
The floating warships blocked out the sky, attracting almost half of Lincheng's population.
Lin Yuan, Lin Qingqing, and Su Ran also arrived near the Li residence. Watching the Gu royal flag fluttering in the wind, Lin Yuan suddenly had a bold idea.
Gu Chen, Gu Qingfeng
? Could it be that Gu Chen was Gu Qingfeng's son?
In the shadows, the floating warship, like a ferocious steel beast, completely enveloped the Li family estate.
Meanwhile, feeling the sudden and powerful pressure from the outside world, a distraught Li Xiao left his study and entered the courtyard.
Looking up, he saw a majestic figure disembark from the warship, stepping through the air and slowly descending toward the courtyard.
At that moment, Li Xiao's eyelids jumped, and he felt as if his blood was about to flow backwards. A shudder that penetrated his soul made him weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"War... War King!"
"Li Xiao, you're so foolish! You didn't know the War King was here in person. Please forgive me!"
Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back and demanded in a cold voice, "Li Xiao, hand over my son! If you don't see my son today, I will wipe
out your entire Li family!" As he finished speaking, hundreds of black-armored warriors quickly descended from the floating warship and instantly surrounded the Li family manor.
Gu Qingfeng's words were resounding, clearly declaring Gu Chen his son.
Outside, those who had previously speculated about Gu Chen's identity suddenly burst into exclamations.
This was shocking!
He was right!
"Gu Chen? He's from the Northern Royal Family?!" Lin Qingqing turned and looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.
"Don't look at me. I was fooled too! I thought he was so poor he couldn't even afford food, but who would have thought his father was the Northern War King!"
Lin Yuan's face was filled with a complex expression. He had been deceived by his best brother!
They agreed to be commoners together, and you're actually the son of the Northern War King?
This feeling...was wonderful!
His brother actually came from the most powerful family in the land!
From this moment on, he would embrace a whole new identity.
Lin Yuan, brother of the son of the Northern War King!
Isn't this just taking off?
A world of wealth, finally his turn.
At the same time, a violent storm enveloped the entire Li family estate, threatening to reduce everything to ash in an instant.
Li Xiao was terrified, lying on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding. I guarantee on my life that the young master is not from my Li family!"
Li Xiao racked his brains, unable to understand why Gu Qingfeng would go to such great lengths to demand his help.
Wasn't Gu Qingfeng's son, Gu Ci, enrolled in the Shangjing Academy? Why would he come to the Li family to demand his help?
While his Li family was the most prestigious family in Lincheng, with his status, even if he tried to curry favor with Gu Ci, they wouldn't necessarily give him a chance.
That young master possessed immense status and connections. Even if Li Xiao had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare disrespect such a figure, let alone become his enemy.
"Li Xiao, you're so bold! I warn you, if my son is harmed in the slightest, your Li family will be exterminated!"
Qin Yun disembarked from the warship and stood behind Gu Qingfeng, sternly scolding him, her anger evident. With
Gu Chen's fate hanging in the balance, she dared not entertain any subtle schemes at this critical juncture.
Gu Qingfeng stood by, his face sullen, his whole person like a storm poised to erupt at any moment.
Gubei City and Lincheng were tens of thousands of kilometers apart. He had rushed all the way since receiving the news last night, arriving in Lincheng by daybreak.
This meant his son had been stranded in the wilderness all night!
It was a wilderness!
Dangers lurked everywhere, aliens were rampant, and if he strayed into the abyss, he would be in great danger
. Gu Qingfeng's face hardened, his fury rising.
His own son was actually bullied to this extent in a small Lincheng, hunted down, fled into the wilderness, and has been missing ever since.
The crowd outside was talking about it, lamenting that the Li family had hit a wall this time.
Gu Chen killed your son, and you hunted him down, and even set up a territory-wide bounty, making it known to everyone in the entire Northern Territory.
Now that Gu Qingfeng has been provoked, your Li family is definitely doomed!
Li Xiao's body trembled violently, and his face turned pale with fear at Qin Yun's words.
Qin Yun is Gu Qingfeng's wife, and her words, to a certain extent, also represent Gu Qingfeng's will.
Li Xiao had no doubt that as long as Gu Qingfeng gave the order, those War King's guards outside would really kill his entire family without a single one left.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, his liver and gallbladder were broken, and every muscle in his body was shaking violently with fear.
Afraid!
He was terrified!
But Gu Ci really wasn't at the Li family manor!
Gu Qingfeng and his wife came to look for their son. The entire northern border knew that they only had one son, Gu Ci.
Gu Ci wasn't at the Li family! He
really wasn't!
This was really going to kill him!
"Please forgive me, Princess. I swear to heaven that the young master is really not at the Li family. I have never seen Young Master Gu Ci! Please understand! Please understand!"
"Asshole!"
Gu Qingfeng was immediately furious when he heard this.
Gu Ci?
Who said he was here to look for Gu Ci?
After talking for a long time, Li Xiao still didn't realize who he came for!
