"Shut up!"
Gu Kuange glanced at Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Do you think I want to punish Gu Chen? And you are pleading for Gu Chen?"
Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue were confused.
Gu Kuange didn't want to punish Gu Chen, so did he want to punish them?
But what did they do wrong? Why did Gu Kuange punish them?
"Are you confused? Don't you know where you went wrong?"
Gu Kuange slammed the table hard, and the new table that he had just built with iron-sinking purple-leaf wood a few days ago turned into powder again.
Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue both shuddered.
The last time the table made of iron-sunken purple-leaf wood was smashed into pieces by Gu Kuange was because Gu Kuange heard that Gu Zhi had fled the Northern Frontier, and he was so angry that he sent people to capture Gu Zhi and execute him.
At that time, Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue were watching from the side, feeling very happy, thinking that they had finally solved the problem of Gu Zhi, the troublemaker.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, the new table made of ironclad purple-leaf wood was smashed into pieces by Gu Kuange again, and this time Gu Kuange was no longer angry because of Gu Zhi, but because of them?
But Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue could never figure out why Gu Kuange did that?
"What did you do twelve years ago?"
When Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue were puzzled, Gu Kuange's cold but extremely angry question made them feel like they were struck by lightning. In an instant, they felt like they fell into an ice cave and were chilled from head to toe.
Twelve years ago...
The Gu family, based in Zhongzhou, was attacked by a joint force and their ancestral land was destroyed.
This has always been Gu Kuange's pain, because not long after he took over the Gu family, the Gu family almost perished, and he almost became the last head of the Gu family.
So after traveling to the northern border and rebuilding the Gu family, the incident twelve years ago became a taboo topic in the Gu family.
Not to mention their three daughters, even Gu Chen, who was the most favored by Gu Kuange, was furious when he accidentally mentioned this topic once before, and he couldn't help but want to take action.
Although Gu Chen was protected by Chu Yunxi in the end, this was enough to show how profound an impact the incident twelve years ago had on Gu Kuange.
Over the years, Gu Kuange never took the initiative to mention what happened twelve years ago.
But now, Gu Kuange not only suddenly brought up what happened twelve years ago, but also questioned them in a cold tone.
Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue knew that there was a high probability that Gu Kuange knew about that matter.
"You won't say it?"
Gu Kuange stood up with a sullen face and cold eyes:
"Twelve years ago, Zhi'er was stranded outside because of you!"
"You still don't admit it, do you still want to hide it?"
Gu Kuang's singing was as loud as a huge bell, making Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue's heads buzz and feel dizzy. Their faces turned pale and blood came out from the corners of their mouths.
"Father, calm down!"
Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue didn't care about that. They immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves.
"Father, please listen to our explanation."
"Explain? Fine, I'll listen to your excuses today!"
Gu Kuange flicked his sleeves, and a terrifying aura filled the air, enveloping the entire conference hall.
The pressure was raging, and Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down, not only on them, but also on their souls!
Gu Qingshuang was still gritting her teeth and thinking about how to explain, but Gu Qingyue was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and was a talisman array master who was not known for his own combat power. How could he withstand the pressure from Gu Kuange?
Gu Qingyue's psychological defenses collapsed, and she cried and confessed everything:
"Gu Zhi has a keen intuition about danger and often senses it coming early."
"Twelve years ago, when the Gu family's ancestral land was attacked, Gu Zhi also had an intuitive warning."
"Gu Zhi didn't know what the danger was. He just felt that he should tell his parents as usual, but..."
"When Gu Zhi went to look for his parents, I discovered him and knew what he wanted to do."
"I know that if Gu Zhi finds his parents and lets them know that danger is coming, he will definitely be praised and will receive more love."
"I want to be praised and I want to be favored more, so I want to take the credit from Gu Zhi."
"So I locked Gu Zhi in the room and took my elder and second sisters to find my parents. I wanted to tell them that danger was approaching, but before I could even say anything, the enemy had already taken action..."
Bang!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the meeting hall.
Gu Kuange was furious and slapped Gu Qingyue hard in the face.
There were suddenly five bright red finger marks on Gu Qingyue's face, and her whole face felt burning with pain.
"Father……"
Gu Qingyue covered her burning face and looked at Gu Kuange in disbelief.
This was the first time Gu Kuange hit her in so many years.
And he beat her for Gu Zhi!
"Shut up! I don't have a daughter like you!"
Gu Kuange was extremely angry:
"Gu Qingyue, if it weren't for your selfishness and greed, how could Zhi'er have been stranded outside for twelve years?"
Gu Qingshuang immediately pleaded:
"Father, you can't blame my third sister. She was still young at the time..."
Bang!
Gu Kuange slapped Gu Qingshuang in the face with his backhand:
"You shut up too! Do you think you're a good person, Gu Qingshuang? As the eldest sister, not only did you not stop your sister's selfishness and greed, but you also acted willfully with her. You are as hateful as your sister!"
Gu Qingshuang was also confused.
Apart from Gu Chen, she is Gu Kuange's most beloved daughter.
For all these years, Gu Kuange had never even scolded her, let alone hit her.
But now, Gu Kuange actually slapped her face so hard that it became red and swollen.
Gu Qingshuang knew that ever since Gu Chen was crushed by Gu Zhi, Gu Kuange began to pay attention to Gu Zhi.
But Gu Qingshuang still didn't expect that Gu Kuange would value Gu Zhi to this extent. Not only did he ignore Gu Chen and slap Gu Qingyue, he even hit her!
Why?
She and Gu Qingyue were wrong, but twelve years have passed. What's the point of still dwelling on this matter?
Can't we just let the past be the past?
Why does Gu Kuange insist on dwelling on this matter?
Gu Qingshuang frowned and roared in her heart, but in the end she didn't dare to really talk back to Gu Kuange.
"If you make a mistake, you must be punished. If you do something wrong, you must pay the price!"
"Qingshuang, Qingyue, you must go to the Southern Wilds, to the Shiwan Mountains, to the gate of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect, and kneel down to apologize!"
"Admit your mistakes to Zhier, apologize, and kowtow!"
"I believe that Zhi'er is kind by nature. As long as you are willing to confess your crimes and the resentment in Zhi'er's heart dissipates, Zhi'er will forgive you and return to the Gu family."
Gu Kuange's words were like a bolt from the blue, which stunned Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue.
No, it would be better to let them go to the Southern Wilderness to lure Gu Zhi, and then take the opportunity to capture Gu Zhi.
But asking them to go to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect and kneel down to apologize, isn't that asking them to die?
