The Great Elder's meaning is very clear. Since they have feelings, even if his ability is not as good as Ming Siyan's in the past, he will give her the opportunity to enter Gongsun's family.
It’s just that what I’m thinking of now and then is another person——
Today’s expedition.
She had too many questions in her mind and wanted to ask them clearly in front of him.
When she thought of him, her emotions couldn't help but surge.
Not only can I think of his kindness in recognizing Gu Niannian as his daughter in order to protect her, but I can also think of his indifference in betraying their mother and daughter.
What kind of person is he now?
[He has changed. He is no longer the uncle he was before. Don’t have any illusions about him anymore. 】
Jin Feng's words suddenly flashed through Jin Xi's mind, causing her to feel a tearing pain in her heart.
"What? You don't have confidence in yourself. Will Ouyang Ning give you the opportunity to enter the Gongsun family?"
The great elder looked at the frowning expression in the past, and a little smile flashed in his eyes: "The feelings of young people may seem very beautiful, but they cannot withstand any test. He will not even give you a chance, and you still Do you think he loves you?"
The "bang" sound made the elder narrow his eyes.
Jin Xi pushed the bowl in front of him and stood up directly: "I will enter Gongsun's house with him, and you don't need to care about our affairs."
"you……"
The great elder's face suddenly changed. He wanted to say something else, but Jin Xi had already turned around and left.
Those eyes that have become a little cloudy with age bring out a bit of sinisterness.
He will never allow anyone to prevent the Shangguan family from becoming the largest family!
…
When Ming Siyan entered the past and present room, she was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
There was no expression on his face, and his eyes showed endless confusion, which was so hollow that it made people feel distressed.
He put the cake in his hand in front of her, sat next to her and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms: "What's wrong?"
Feeling his warmth, she reached out and hugged him: "Are you sure you want to go to Gongsun's house?"
"You've already asked."
"If you give up this opportunity, it will make the Shangguan family think that you really love me."
"Do I need to prove it to them?"
"unnecessary."
Feeling is the clearest thing about whether you love something like it or not.
If you need to ask someone verbally whether they love you or not, the answer is already obvious.
So many times, as long as you don't want to deceive yourself, it's difficult for others to deceive you.
Jin Xi looked at the box on the table, his nose twitching slightly: "Chocolate flavor?"
"yes."
"You feed me."
Ming Siyan was obviously very happy to pamper his little girl. He opened the box and fed her one bite at a time.
Seeing her satisfied look made her feel very happy.
After eating the cake, he wiped her mouth with tissue paper: "Three days later, we will go to Duanmu's house with Duanmu Ci and begin to accept the test of the Gongsun family."
"Let's make it clear, I want to verify some things, and you don't need to help me all the time." Jin Xi said.
Ming Siyan paused with his hand, wiped her mouth clean, and threw the paper into the trash can: "I can't possibly watch you get hurt in front of my eyes."
She knew there would be such an answer.
But sometimes, how can you get the answers you want without getting hurt?
Jin Xi looked at him and said seriously: "I will be very careful not to get hurt, but if there is any conflict between Jin Zheng and I, please don't interfere."
Ming Siyan: "..."
Can he intervene?
One is his biological treasure, and the other is his future father-in-law. What conflict can there be between these two people?
Just thinking of Jin Zheng's unknown identity, he nodded and admitted: "I won't interfere until you take action."
"you……"
"This is my last condition."
Meeting his serious eyes, I could only take a step back and nod in agreement.
…
The Gongsun family can become the largest family in S continent, so it naturally has certain advantages that others cannot match.
For example, in the selection of talents, every aspect is extremely demanding, and it is completely a state of survival.
Those who can survive the selection process of the Gongsun family will definitely surpass more than half of their peers in ability.
No matter in the present or in the Ming Dynasty, Si Yan dare not take it lightly.
In three days, they allowed their bodies to get the most adequate rest, leaving them in an extremely full state both physically and mentally.
On the day chosen by Gongsun's house, Ming Siyan picked up Jin Xi and went to Gongsun's house together.
Walking in the antique courtyard gives you the illusion of time and space changing.
However, Jin Xiang did not have time to pay attention to the carved beams and paintings in this house. They were quickly taken into the hall.
Gongsun Yue was sitting on the main seat in her iconic red dress, with a seductive look on her charming face.
Jin Zheng is sitting under her right head, which shows his status.
Gongsun Yue's trust in him was earned by him with his own wife.
This made Jin Xi clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed a chilling coldness.
Jin Zheng saw Jin Xiang's hanging hands clenched into fists, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said quietly: "Everyone is here, let's start."
"My dear, let them start the test directly?" Gongsun Yue looked at Jin Zheng, her eyes full of love.
He didn't look at her and said in a cold voice: "It's still too early. Since they want to go to the Gongsun family, they still need to understand the necessary rules."
As he said that, he looked at the past and present. Ming Siyan and Duanmuci were three people.
"You are the heirs of the three major families. You are all the same people in your family, so you naturally have your own character. But since you have arrived at the Gongsun family and will serve the Gongsun family in the future, you must restrain your temper. You must understand absolute obedience here.”
Jin Xi looked at the past with cold eyes: "Even if it is wrong, we must obey?"
"yes."
"This is unreasonable."
"Here, you have no right to question. If you want to withdraw, you can do so now."
Jin Zheng's cold words had no intention of retaining the past and present.
Jin Xi pursed his lips slightly, feeling that his expectations were being disappointed little by little.
"Answer me, do you want to quit?"
"I'm not quitting."
She came here not only to ask Jin Zheng for an answer, but also to see her mother!
The words of the great elder are very clear. Jin Zheng sacrificed her mother to Gongsun Yue back then and got the opportunity to stay in Gongsun's family.
Then Yan Foxue must be at Gongsun's house at this time.
No matter what the price, she will save people!
"Okay, ten lashes."
What?
Not only did Jin and Xiang have a look of astonishment in their eyes, but Ming Siyan and Duanmu Ci also looked a bit surprised.
You just said two words, why did you start beating someone?
Gongsun Yue asked with some curiosity: "Dear, what's going on? Did you hit someone at the beginning?"
"During the training, they not only have to learn absolute obedience, but also follow orders and prohibitions. They cannot speak unless they are allowed to speak."
"It makes sense, my dear, you still know the rules."
Gongsun Yue was very satisfied with Jin Zheng's explanation, but Jin Xi felt that Jin Zheng was deliberately trying to embarrass her!
Soon someone handed the whip to Jin Zheng, and he whipped it at Jin Xiang without any hesitation.
The whip struck Jin Xi's arm, breaking her clothes with a swipe, revealing a bloody streak.
"Oh, it's really heartbreaking, it's bloody."
In Gongsun Yue's soft voice, she didn't feel distressed at all. Instead, she was observing everyone's reaction.
She had turned a deaf ear to this, but the burning pain on her arm made her realize clearly that her father not only failed to help her, but also whipped her with a whip, and for an almost ridiculous reason!
She met Jin Zheng's eyes and asked silently, why do you treat her like this?
Jin Zheng naturally did not answer, but Gongsun Yue next to him said "Huh".
"She has really beautiful eyes. I have seen Shangguan Lin before, so why didn't I notice it? Besides, her eyes are so familiar."
By the end of the sentence, Gongsun Yue's voice had become a bit colder, and his eyes fell on Jin Zheng.
Jin Xi's eyes were stubborn and cold, very much like a certain woman in his memory, and that woman happened to be Jin Zheng's wife!
How could Jin Zheng not know what Gongsun Yue meant?
His expression was cold, but there was a hint of disgust in his voice: "I just feel disgusted."
As the words fell, another whip fell, hitting Jin Xiang's thin body.
In an instant, her skin was torn open and her blood flowed like a prodigious amount of blood, but she didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, she felt that her recurring emotions calmed down instantly.
She had seen the photos of Yan Foxue, so she naturally understood how imaginative their eyes were.
Now when Jin Zheng said this, he was showing his loyalty to Gongsun Yue, and he also revealed his betrayal to their mother and daughter!
No matter what he had to do, he just betrayed Yan Foxue and abandoned the past and present!
As for recognizing Gu Niannian as my daughter at that time, was it just because of the guilt in my heart?
After all, he had done something wrong to their mother and daughter, so he randomly found someone as a scapegoat to give the past and present a way out.
But when the past and present conflict with his interests, he will give up the past and present without hesitation.
For example, now, he personally carries out the punishment, whipping it down, showing no mercy at all.
Even after Gongsun Yue said that her eyes were familiar, he became a little more ruthless.
Are you so eager to show your loyalty?
Jin Xi, who was naturally rebellious, couldn't help but want to reach out and grab the whip.
But before she could hold her hand, two whips hit her arm one after another, causing her to be unable to move in an instant.
"The caning is over."
Jin Zheng said coldly: "Shangguan Lin, if you want to enter the Gongsun family, you must follow the rules of the Gongsun family. If a young lady like you can't stand it, then go back as soon as possible."
Before the past and present could return, Gongsun Yue spoke up: "My dear, why do you always advise her to leave? The Gongsun family is not a dragon's den and a tiger's den. Besides, don't you value her very much and give her special guidance?"
The transformation into Shangguan Lin has made Shangguan Lin's abilities develop by leaps and bounds.
When she couldn't explain it, she just said it was Jin Zheng's appreciation and gave her some advice.
Jin Zheng did not deny it before, but now...
Since he has betrayed them, there is no guarantee that he will not betray her now!
Jin Xi suddenly regretted that the ten lashes he received just now should not have been in vain.
If her identity is revealed now, her strength will be greatly reduced.
Just when she was feeling a little worried, Jin Zheng's indifferent words sounded: "If I had known she was so disobedient to discipline, I shouldn't have ignored her at that time."
He did not look at the past and present again, nor did he give any response to her eyes. Instead, he glanced at Ming Siyan and Duanmu Ci lightly.
"The same goes for you. Don't think that just because you are the head of each family, you have a place in the Gongsun family. Today is the first day. The training intensity should not be too intense. You can rest after doing a complete set of ten sets of training."
In the end, he did not forget to look at the past and present: "Including you."
He was beaten all over and had to go through a full set of training. What I felt in my heart was not aggrieved, but a completely calm mind.
Because she was injured, even basic training was extremely strenuous for her.
Ming Siyan looked distressed: "Let me help you with a simple bandage first..."
"Need not."
She pushed him away, her whole body exuding a gloomy aura.
At the indoor training ground, everyone is not wearing bloated coats, but ordinary sportswear.
The blood stains on the girl's fair skin were clearly visible. As she sweated and mixed with the blood, it dripped down and soaked through her clothes, making her look a little more terrifying.
But she didn't seem to notice it. She kept completing one action after another with a cold face.
After Ming Siyan and Duanmu Ci finished their training, they stood aside and watched.
Duanmu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly: "She was beaten to pieces by the high priest on the first day. I really can't see that the high priest values her. Could it be that you were deceived? Ouyang Ning, think about it carefully, maybe she is not the one you should kill. The person who pays attention.”
Ming Siyan ignored him and stared at the past and present with his eyes.
Even though she knew the injury, training so intensely meant nothing to her.
But seeing her covered in blood, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Duanmu Ci, who didn't get a response, turned his head and saw Ming Siyan's tense expression and his eyes that never left the past and present, and he raised his eyebrows.
"Ming Siyan, you don't want to tell me that you really love her, right?"
With that said, he turned around and stood in front of Ming Siyan.
But this time, before he could speak again, Ming Siyan pushed him away: "Get out!"
A cold and stern aura spread all over his body instantly, especially the way he looked at Duanmu Ci, which was so gloomy that if Duanmu Ci dared to make another unnecessary move, he would immediately kill someone.
Duanmu Ci, who was pushed to the ground, licked his lips, with a half-smile expression on his face: "Interesting, is it possible that these two people really have feelings?"
After Jin Xi completed a complete set of training, Ming Siyan immediately stepped forward and hugged her sideways.
"I'm fine..."
She still wanted to stop her, but Ming Siyan had already carried her out and said, "Don't make trouble. I'll help you apply medicine and clean your wound when you get back."
His voice was very calm, without the slightest hint of persistence.
However, his actions were unquestionably domineering, especially his dark eyes, which showed his attitude very clearly.
Jin Xi was leaning in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and it seemed that all the resentment was slowly dissipating at this moment.
She buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice: "He really abandoned us, and I will never let him go."
