Gongxi Xiaoyang's ancestors were once very powerful and were ranked among the eight major families in the Demon Empire. They were prominent for a time, but later in a war with the spirit world, the head of the Gongxi family and his wife died in battle. They entrusted their only son to their most loyal servant on the battlefield.
The servant's name was Gong Xiyu, and he was a servant of the Gongxi family.
At that time, Gong Xiyu had already shown potential far beyond his status and age.
The head of the family entrusted the Gongxi family to Gongxiyu, and at the same time entrusted his only legitimate son Gongxiquan to him.
Later, Gong Xiyu rose as expected.
He raised Gong Xiquan safely, but turned him into a good-for-nothing waste.
He himself became an imperial hero and a high-ranking official!
In the end, Gong Xiyu used a legitimate and high-sounding excuse to drive away all of Gong Xiquan's descendants.
Then, he, a house-born slave, inherited everything the Gongxi family owned.
Tens of thousands of slaves, endless fiefdoms, countless wealth, and the power of the Gongxi family, he, Gongxi Yu, took them all away.
Why didn't he kill Gong Xiquan's descendants to prevent future troubles?
Because the head of the family back then was very smart.
He knew that Gong Xiyu would be very great in the future, so he forced Gong Xiyu to swear to protect Gong Xiquan and not harm Gong Xiquan's descendants, otherwise, Gong Xiyu's descendants would suffer the most vicious curse from generation to generation.
Unless one day, Gong Xiyu's descendants can find the wooden token representing the Gongxi family.
The moment Gong Xiyu's descendants get the wooden token, the entire Gongxi family will completely belong to Gong Xiyu's lineage.
Other families have side branches replacing the direct line, but in the Gongxi family, it is the servants who replace the master.
This is a very secretive matter. Almost all those who know about it in the empire are now in high positions, and they all keep their mouths shut. After so many years, there are not many people who know about it now.
"Wait." Su Luo's heart skipped a beat when she heard about the wooden token. "Are you saying that the Gongxi family found the wooden token, so the curse was broken, and the Gongxi family can wantonly slaughter your direct descendants?"
Uncle Biao looked at Su Luo with sorrow and closed his eyes in pain: "After so many years of reproduction, there are thousands of direct descendants. However, these thousands of people have been purged over there since ten years ago. Now, the only direct descendant of the entire Gongxi family is this young master."
"Ten years ago?" Su Luo looked at Uncle Biao in confusion, "The wooden token that the Gongxi family found ten years ago?"
Uncle Biao nodded and said with certainty, "Ten years ago, when they besieged us, they excitedly said that the fifth young master Gong Xining brought back the original wooden token from the spatial turbulence, and also brought the end of the world to our direct lineage."
"Does that wooden token look like this?" Su Luo took out a pen and paper and quickly drew on it. A token exactly the same as the one in Gong Xining's hand appeared on the paper.
"Yes, it is this token. That group of people used this token to surround and kill us!" Uncle Biao shouted excitedly!
Su Luo: “…”
She now finally understood why Gong Xining was so ecstatic when he found this wooden token; she now finally understood why Gong Xining would rather give up other treasures and only want a wooden token.
