Chapter 1569: Chapter 1570: Can’t Be Wrong By Half

Upon hearing this, Gong Juechen was deeply shaken, but his expression remained unchanged, sneering, ”Have you grown so wary of me that you blame those men in black on me? What, do you want to use this as a pretext to kill me? Then just go ahead and kill me, I’m right here.”

After a pause, his words became even more mocking: ”Don’t worry, even if your martial arts aren’t as good as mine, it doesn’t matter. I won’t resist, I’ll just sit here and let you kill me. Go on, kill me.”

”I won’t kill you, I promised Father, and I swore it, that I would never kill you.” Pausing, Su Chengyu looked directly into Gong Juechen’s eyes and continued, ”The reason I’m telling you this today is just that I hope you won’t become my enemy.”

Gong Juechen did not avoid it, his peach blossom eyes gazed steadily at Su Chengyu, without fear or retreat, and he coldly said, ”If the day comes when we truly are enemies, it’s because you forced it.”

He forced it...

Su Chengyu was instantly filled with complex emotions and didn’t know what to say, he just murmured the name of the person in front of him: ”Chenglin...”

Gong Juechen, however, said nothing more and got up to leave.

He didn’t care if Su Chengyu believed him or not; in any case, he had already spoken his mind in front of Su Haoyu in the heavens, making it clear to Su Chengyu. As for where he and Su Chengyu would end up in the future, it all depended on Su Chengyu’s own choices.

It was evident that Gong Juechen had never really intended to be Su Chengyu’s enemy.

As Gong Juechen got up to leave, Su Chengyu didn’t call him back, but instead watched him go, his eyes growing increasingly complex, softly murmuring to himself: ”Chenglin, can I trust you?”

Those men in black could very well be yours. Can I really trust you? Chenglin...

...

Ye Zhi was no longer the Deputy General and didn’t have to go to the military camp. She also wasn’t short of money, so she naturally didn’t need to do any hard labor to earn a living. Moreover, Gong Juechen wouldn’t let her work anyway, and she didn’t know what she could do, but being idle was boring, so she decided to assist Gong Juechen in his work as a doctor.

Like helping Gong Juechen grind herbs, sun-dry medicinal ingredients, and go up the mountain to collect herbs together.

Gong Juechen was very pleased with Ye Zhi assisting him, feeling a sense of harmony like a husband and wife working together.

Their simple life went on in this way, ordinary yet fulfilling. Both were content and very satisfied, each feeling that their days were particularly beautiful.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the twenty-eighth of the first month, the day of Qi Gaoda and Du Aya’s wedding.

Xiao Changyi, as the King of Xiyun, was actually not supposed to casually attend people’s weddings, standing equal with the emperor.

Although Qi Gaoda had been conferred the title of General, there were still hundreds if not thousands of generals in Xiyun, the rank wasn’t high enough for the King of Xiyun to personally come and offer congratulations.

However, because Du Aya had a good relationship with An Jing, and An Jing insisted on attending Du Aya’s wedding, Xiao Changyi had no choice but to accompany her. An Jing was very likely already pregnant, and Xiao Changyi certainly didn’t dare leave An Jing’s side now for even a moment.

With the King and Queen of Xiyun attending the wedding, Qi Tengfei and the Qi Old Madam, who were the honored guests, naturally did not dare to sit at the main seats. Feeling extremely honored, they quickly ceded the seats to Xiao Changyi and An Jing.

An Jing originally didn’t want to sit, but their status was undeniable. And since Qi Tengfei was now a Marquis, the wedding at the Marquis’ Mansion couldn’t be as casual as those held at Gong Juechen’s place where relatives and friends could create a ruckus. Everything here had to strictly adhere to the rituals of marriage, with special attention to detail, as any mistakes would attract criticism, so she had no choice but to sit with Xiao Changyi.
