Inside the Emperor Phoenix Palace, the moment Gong Shaojun left, several pairs of eyes snapped in unison toward Gong Qi.
Gong Qi tactfully hid behind the old clan chief and looked at her own father, asking with utter sincerity, "Are you really my father? You still want to kill me at a time like this?"
"What good would my death do you?"
Gong Qi was genuinely beginning to suspect that she might not share any blood ties with Lin Jue.
To her surprise, Lin Jue said confidently, "Little Qi, your fortune runs deep. They won't be able to take your life. Your father only came today to make up the numbers."
Gong Qi: "...Oh, so you secretly formed an alliance with Gong Xi, and now you're here to complete your mission?"
"More or less."
Clearly, the moment Lin Jue finished his first sentence, Gong Si's expression turned somewhat ugly.
Gong Xi had always kept his anger and joy hidden from his face, making his exact emotions impossible to read. He was probably not very pleased either.
Seeing Gong Si and Gong Xi charge toward Gong Qi, neither showed the slightest intention of holding back.
Two wild gusts came sweeping in, nearly blowing Gong Qi away.
The two gusts tore through every corner of the Emperor Phoenix Palace. Screams rang out one after another as the cultivators Gong Xi and the others had brought were sent flying in succession.
At last, the two gusts dissipated before Gong Qi, revealing the two figures concealed within.
Gong Qi's eyes lit up. "Master, Third Sister! They're both trying to kill me!"
Gong Qi shouted especially loudly, lodging her complaint with complete righteousness.
Gong San gave a cold laugh, as though she had been sharpening a blade for years and could finally bring it down
