Chapter 107 Deliberately Provoking
Gongzhou frowned and seemed unwilling to answer this question.
Ling Chan just wanted to mention this matter in front of him, "Ama, Ama? This doesn't sound like a person's name at all."
“It seems like it was just taken casually…”
"She doesn't have a last name? Or is her last name Hai? Her given name Nu?"
Anyway, Ling Chan has been staying in the backyard of the Ling Mansion for more than ten years and is not familiar with worldly affairs.
It was normal to ask such unreasonable questions, and Gongzhou didn't dare to lose his temper.
Gong Zhou suppressed his dissatisfaction. When he saw Ling Chan yesterday, he felt that although the Ling family treated her harshly, her behavior was still decent.
But today...
"Princess, my mother is also your grandmother. As a younger generation, we should respect her... and not make such irresponsible remarks." Gongzhou said.
Ling Chan pretended not to understand and asked, "Does it count?"
"What?" Gongzhou was so angry that his reaction was slow.
"My uncle's biological mother was my grandfather's concubine. How can she be considered my grandmother?"
"My mother is the legitimate daughter of the Gong family."
Did she realize that Gong Lele's tablet was newly made and placed in the ancestral hall?
I think Gongzhou guessed that she would come to the ancestral hall, so he made preparations in advance.
Ling Chan walked towards the sea girl's tablet and reached out to grab it. "If my uncle loses his position as the leader of the martial arts world this time, should her tablet be removed?"
Gongzhou clenched his fists and was about to explode, but Ling Chan put the tablet down.
"I'm just asking casually. Uncle won't be angry with me, right?"
"After all, the competition in this martial arts tournament is quite fierce."
Her movements were casual. "Uncle, I've never been to the Gong family. Why don't you tell me what has happened in the Gong family over the years?"
"My maternal grandfather had one wife and four concubines, and a total of seven children. Besides my mother and you, my uncle, there were two aunts and three uncles."
"Why... did you let your uncle become the leader of the martial arts world?"
She looked at the shrines, among which were those of her other three uncles, "How did they die?"
"There are two aunts, why were they married off to other places?"
"How did grandpa die?"
"uncle..."
Ling Chan looked at Gong Zhou, who was on the verge of getting angry.
She knew what to do and stopped talking, then continued to look at the shrines.
Her hand stroked Gong Lele's shrine, and at the moment of passing, she stuck a button-sized camera on the Gong family's ancestral tablet behind Gong Lele.
Why not stick to Gong Lele’s tablet?
Ling Chan glanced at Gong Zhou, who was looking annoyed. With all her provocation, there was no guarantee that Gong Zhou would not vent his anger on Gong Lele's tablet, so it would be safer to stick the camera on other tablets.
"Uncle, I need to stay at the Gong family for a while. How about we invite the two aunts to come back and stay at the Gong family for a while?" Ling Chan made another request.
Gongzhou's face darkened. "Your aunt and the others are in Lanzhou, which is more than ten days away from Qingzhou. It's too far to go back and forth, and it's a long journey..."
"Then why did my uncle marry my two aunts so far away?"
Gong Zhou raised his eyes, "It seems that the princess is not completely ignorant of the Gong family."
The two who married to Lanzhou were Gong Churui, the fourth child, and Gong Chuying, the sixth child.
They got married after Gongzhou became the leader of the martial arts world. Gongzhou must have done it on purpose to marry them so far away.
The key point is that these two aunts are both sisters from the same mother as Gongzhou, and are both children of the concubine named Ama.
The other wives and three concubines only gave birth to one child for my grandfather, but this concubine named Haenyeo gave birth to three. It seems that my grandfather loved her very much.
If the deaths of the three uncles were related to Gongzhou, then the two aunts were able to survive only because they were children of haenyeo.
"Okay, Princess, now that you are here, you should pay your respects to the ancestors of the Gong family." Gong Zhou didn't want to say anything more to her.
Ling Chan looked at the tablets again. Of course she had to pay homage to them, but she didn't want to pay homage to Hai Nu, a concubine with an unknown identity.
Especially since her son is a traitor.
"Let's talk about it next time." Ling Chan left a word, glanced at the tablet of the mermaid, and then left the ancestral hall.
She's like this... isn't her meaning obvious enough?
Gongzhou took a deep breath on the spot. He knew why Ling Chan didn't want to worship. It was simply because of his mother's tablet. She didn't want to worship a concubine.
"So what if I'm a concubine?" he said angrily, but in a low voice.
"So what if I give birth to a child?"
"If he hadn't kidnapped my mother to Floating Cloud Villa, she wouldn't have become his concubine."
He thought Ling Chan had left and no one had heard what he said, but he didn't know that the camera behind him had recorded all his voices.
As Ling Chan guessed, Gong Zhou became angry and swept Gong Lele's tablet to the ground.
This was not enough to vent his anger, so he stepped on it a few more times.
This scene was also seen by Ling Chan.
After venting his anger, Gong Zhou put Gong Lele's tablet back to its original place and left the ancestral hall as if nothing had happened.
"Is he suffering from schizophrenia?" Ling Chan murmured.
The reason for this suspicion is that the scene of Gongzhou getting angry was so weird.
His expression completely changed, and his eyes became like a different person.
He should have been staring at her, right? But his eyes looked as if he wanted to kill her to vent his hatred.
"It seems that this has really touched the point that he cares about."
When Gongzhou said the word "concubine", he emphasized it particularly. It seemed that he cared a lot about the fact that his mother was a concubine and about his status as a bastard's son.
besides...
What does it mean to kidnap Floating Cloud Villa?
What is the identity of this female divers?
"Do you know who Gongzhou's mother is?" Ling Chan asked Gong Lan and Gong Yu.
The two of them had just declined many requests from the masters to visit outside the courtyard and had just entered the house.
Faced with Ling Chan's question, the two were stunned for a moment.
Then everyone shook their heads in unison, "I don't know."
"Aside from the young lady's mother, we don't know anything about Mr. Gong's other four concubines."
"The master never mentioned it before."
Gong Lan suggested, "But Cheng Feiyu and the two seniors might know."
They have always been in the arena...
"Go there for me," Ling Chan instructed Gong Lan. "First, ask about the Ama."
"Let my uncle go to Lanzhou again to find out about the two aunts who married to Lanzhou that year." The reason why Gongzhou didn't let the two sisters come back was probably not as simple as the long journey.
Gong Lan didn't have to leave Fuyun Villa secretly this time.
She swaggered straight to the mountain gate and said she was going out to buy some local delicacies from Qingzhou for the princess. The guards at the gate let her go.
Gong Lan took a carriage to Qingzhou City, where she met a medical fairy and bought two bottles of medicine from her.
I bought some dim sum at Fengyinlou, some pancakes on the street, and a chicken at the market...
"You only went to these places?" After listening to his disciple's report, Gong Zhou still doubted the purpose of Gong Lan's departure at this time.
"Leader, this girl has only been to these places," the disciple replied.
He stared at the girl beside the princess the whole time, not letting her out of his sight for a moment.
"Keep watching them." Gongzhou said.
In fact, Gong Lan had already passed the news to Gong Zi.
Gong Zi returned to Yangshanjian with the letter Gong Lan gave her.
"You want me to go to Lanzhou?" Cheng Feiyu paced back and forth. "It will take at least twenty days to go there and back."
This is assuming that he has extraordinary lightness skills. If it were someone else, it would take at least more than 30 days.
"The host is impressed by your outstanding Qinggong skills, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to come here." Gong Zi took the letter from Cheng Feiyu and handed it to Di Ming and Zhi Xuanzi. "The host also has something to ask you two seniors."
After reading the letter, Di Ming and Zhi Xuanzi exchanged puzzled looks.
"The mermaid that Chan asked about..."
They also had no impression of the name.
"When Mr. Gong took a concubine, we were still young. Feiyu might not have been born yet. I really have no impression."
Di Ming held the letter in his hand and said, "I can go back and ask my master."
Her master, now retired at the Iron Blood Sect, was once a martial arts hero, but later sustained internal injuries in a duel...
"Gong Zi, can you give me a few bottles of elixir? I want to go back and honor my master."
Gong Zi took out ten bottles of elixir without saying a word. The host said that he could grant any request from the three seniors Cheng Feiyu, Di Mingzhi and Xuanzi.
Zhi Xuanzi's honest eyes lit up, "I can also go ask my master... hehe."
Gong Zi understood and went back to the house to get out ten bottles of elixir.
She looked at Cheng Feiyu, who waved his hand, "I don't need it. My master has been buried for a long time."
He curled his lips and said, "If it had been a few years earlier, maybe I could have saved him."
As it got late at night, Cheng Feiyu, Di Ming, Zhi Xuanzi and others left Shanyangjian together.
After Ling Chan provoked Gong Zhou, she did not appear in front of him for several days and just wandered around in Fuyun Villa.
He also brought Hongdou, Gong Lan and Gong Yu.
That day, they came to the back mountain.
Ling Chan didn't know before that this area of the back mountain also belonged to the scope of Floating Cloud Villa, and this part was not included when the drone was drawing the map.
After moving in, I noticed the disciples changing shifts and discovered that there were also disciples guarding here.
There is a mountain behind the mountain, which is covered with dense forests. Why does someone need to guard it?
You can't be afraid that people will get lost if they walk in, right?
"Princess, this is the back mountain. It is overgrown with weeds and is full of dangers. There are also ferocious beasts. You cannot go in." Ling Chan was stopped as soon as she arrived here.
Going further in is the area behind the mountain...
"What kind of beasts are there?" Ling Chan asked.
"have..."
There were bursts of roars coming from inside, the sound was very far away, and if Ling Chan hadn't been paying attention, she wouldn't have been able to hear it.
"There's a bear." The disciple said, "Princess, do you hear the noise inside? That's the sound of a bear."
"Roar..." Another different roar.
"I heard it." Ling Chan pointed inside in surprise, "There are two bears."
The disciple nodded and said, "Yes, there are two bears. The princess heard it clearly."
"Princess, it's too dangerous inside, please go back."
A bear's voice? It's clearly a human voice...
"Okay, since there's danger inside, let's go back." Ling Chan turned around, "Let's go somewhere else."
That night, Ling Chan was in her room when a drone flew out of the window. A moment later, all the spies around her yard were anesthetized.
After changing into black clothes and carrying a flight backpack, Ling Chan flew out of the room.
He arrived at the back mountain with ease. Several disciples were still guarding there, but they were obviously tired.
In another hour, it will be time to change shifts, and this is the time when they are most careless.
Ling Chan flew directly into the back mountain not far from them.
The so-called back mountain refers to half of the mountain behind the entire Floating Cloud Villa, which is an undeveloped wilderness.
Ling Chan landed in the woods and turned back, "Come out."
A person walked out from behind the big tree. It was Xiao Jin without a mask.
After using the elixir for a few more days, the scars on his face had faded.
Ling Chan hadn't seen him for several days. When she first saw him under the moonlight, she felt that if his scars healed, he would be quite handsome.
At this moment, in Xiao Jin's eyes, she was as charming as a goddess under the moon.
Xiao Jin even felt that every time he saw Ling Chan, her appearance changed a lot.
The most obvious thing is her face, which becomes fuller, whiter and smoother, and more...stunning each time.
"You're not asking Jiuzhen to keep an eye on my yard all the time, are you?" Ling Chan raised her eyebrows and stood there waiting for him to come over.
Xiao Jin slowly approached, "No need for him. I will personally keep an eye on Sister Wanyue's yard and ensure her safety before I feel at ease."
Wanyue...sister...your sister.
Ling Chan rolled her eyes. "You've been here for so long, and you haven't been to this back mountain before?"
Xiao Jin shook his head, "I haven't been here."
Not to mention him, those sect leaders may not even know the situation in the back mountain of Floating Cloud Villa.
Ling Chan made a hushing gesture at him, and Xiao Jin fell silent and his steps became lighter.
The wind rustled in the forest, and there were some insects chirping, but the human shouting she had heard during the day...wasn't there.
"Strange... Could he have fallen asleep?" she said.
"What sound did you hear during the day?" Xiao Jin asked in a low voice.
He knew she came here during the day.
"I heard a bear's roar..." As Ling Chan spoke, her ears moved as she listened to the sounds around her, and she walked firmly in one direction.
The sounds heard during the day came from this direction.
Xiao Jin accidentally stepped on a branch, making a loud noise.
Ling Chan was angry and slapped his hand, "Be careful."
Although her hand had clearly left, Xiao Jin felt a burning sensation where she had slapped him.
The two of them walked for a cup of tea, but Ling Chan still didn't hear Bai Ri's voice.
"Strange, could it be that I heard it wrong during the day?" Ling Chan was a little unconfident.
No matter what, she squatted down, took out the drone from her waist, and directly controlled it to fly into the air.
I forgot about this mountain behind last time, so this time I’ll let the drone fill in the gap.
"You're not leaving?" Xiao Jin squatted beside her, looking at the drone taking off. "What is this?"
"Don't talk." Ling Chan didn't want to answer his question.
Xiao Jin thought that what he said might have some effect on the black box above, so he shut up.
In front of Xiao Jin, Ling Chan couldn't enter the space to print the map, so she put on her glasses and checked the electronic map.
Xiao Jin had seen these glasses many times before. "Can this thing of yours help you see the road clearly at night?"
"Yeah." Ling Chan saw the person she was looking for through the glasses.
Those are two thermal images of human bodies... deep underground...
