Chapter 1126: [(831)] Are your people from the Old Gods Association or from Star Ring? (First release, asking for monthly votes) Chapter 1126: [(831)] Are your people from the Old Gods Association or from Star Ring? (First release, asking for monthly votes) Chen Gongfei left.

Initially, he had planned to leave secretly, but after realizing that he was recognized by Fu Xueyi, he simply went into hiding.

He hurriedly sent a message to the Fu family.

Although he didn’t specify what exactly happened to Song Jifeng that night, his message clearly emphasized Pei Jinye’s power.

The implication was clear: Do not provoke him.

But obviously–
The Fu family, accustomed to their pride, sent two Ninth Rank, quite forcefully, only to be pressed into the ground by Pei Jinye himself.

From that moment, the entire Dragon City knew of Pei Jinye’s prestige.

…
“What’s the use of crying?”

A voice rang in Fu Xueyi’s ear, she trembled even without looking towards the speaker.

“Grandfather, I was wrong.”

Fu Xueyi began to sob.

In the past, whenever she cried, the elderly man behind her would comfort her with the gentlest words and then deal with the culprits.

But this time, her usual tricks didn’t work.

The old man’s expressionless face delivered a message that pierced Fu Xueyi’s heart like a knife, a pain mixed with fear.

“What you did today was utterly disgraceful, it seems that being spoiled regularly has made you forget your own status…”

“Grandfather!”

Fu Xueyi quickly raised her head, attempting to plead for another chance.

However, the coldness of the old man caught her completely off guard.

“Starting today, I am taking back all subsidiary cards I gave you. A child’s mistakes are a parent’s failures–your father’s position also needs adjustment. He will be stripped of his corporate rights, remember, this is all because of your ignorance.”

Fu Xueyi stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.

The fear inside her dissipated somewhat as the dust settled.

But she couldn’t accept it!

“Why?”

She looked up.

If she had been older, such an action might have been seen as terribly disrespectful.

But she was Fu Xueyi.

Such words from her were not surprising.

The old man looked into her eyes.

He remained silent.

Three seconds later, Fu Xueyi nervously averted her gaze.

Lowering her head, her expression mournful, filled with resentment and grievance, she said, “What exactly did your granddaughter do wrong? Only a side member of the Wang family, only a Ninth Rank, even if he were Star Space level, isn’t the Fu family capable as well?”

The old man was not angry but simply said calmly, “Do you think I am punishing you because I fear that Ninth Rank?”

Fu Xueyi was taken aback, her heart skipped a beat, “Isn’t that the case?”

She didn’t even realize the confusion in her own tone.

“Ninth Rank… What is there to fear?” The Head of the Fu family turned around, pointing to a banner hanging on the wall, “Generations of Ninth Ranks in my Fu family number in the hundreds! The Ninth Rank is not a lofty presence, nor is it invincible! The prestige of the Fu family today is even greater!”

He suddenly looked at Fu Xueyi, like a furious lion, “I am punishing you because you forgot the true glory of the Fu family! The disgrace you brought was not just to yourself but to the whole Fu family! Using the same methods you use on the younger generation against a Ninth Rank is arrogance and foolishness! Have all the teachings I gave you gone to the dogs?”

Fu Xueyi trembled all over.

She finally understood.

“Grandfather, I was wrong.”

The old man turned his back on her.

“Leave now. Before I decide to disinherit you, just go.”

Fu Xueyi knelt on the ground, bowed deeply, and left disheartened.

She didn’t even know how she managed to get home.

There were already people at home, a towering figure turned and saw her, and immediately slapped her.

“Father?”

Fu Xueyi covered her face, in disbelief.

Fu Liancheng’s face was full of anger; he wanted to loudly scold, but seeing his daughter’s tearful eyes, his heart softened, and he turned away fiercely, throwing his sleeves back and roared, “Reflect on yourself!”

Before leaving, he threw down another phrase.

“Don’t think about taking revenge on that girl from the Wang family, she has already received the attention from those above!”

Fu Xueyi felt her heart ache once again.

How she hated it!

“Father.”

After meeting with his daughter, Fu Liancheng hurried to the old Fu family residence.

The elder picked up the teacup unconcernedly, as if the affairs of the outside world had nothing to do with him, and glanced sideways: “Why the panic? It’s not like someone has a knife to your throat.”

Fu Liancheng calmed his emotions a bit and quickly said, “Father, I have already scolded Little Yi, she…”

“Do you want to plead for her?” The elder lifted his head and looked over, seemingly a bit surprised.

Fu Liancheng was startled for a moment and shook his head. Since he was a child, he had followed his father through wars and campaigns. He might not fully understand the old man’s temperament, but he had some understanding of his habits.

“Father’s decision, as a son, I support it. Moreover, from the beginning, Little Yi did wrong; father punishing her is to temper her character. Since I was young, you taught me that the sons of the Fu family might not seek great wealth, but must possess the pride of the Fu family.”

“Get lost, am I just fooling you?”

“Uh.”

Fu Liancheng was shocked.

Had he guessed wrong again?

The head of the Fu family did not continue this topic and only said softly, “That Mr. Sun… did you find out his details?”

Fu Liancheng hurriedly said, “I found out. He’s from the North Continent, settled in Dragon City about eighteen years ago, and even gave Sky God International a lesson back then. His skills in Matrix Control are so profound that even Lu Su admires them.”

“North Continent… surname Sun?” The head of the Fu family shook his head: “It seems this identity might have some issues.”

“Problems?” Fu Liancheng didn’t know how many times his heart had jumped today, but somehow he didn’t feel numb.

“Yes, a Ninth Rank Matrix Controller, still keeping a low profile despite being Star Space level – such a prominent figure could hardly be an unknown nobody, right?”

The head of the Fu family glanced slightly, showing some disrespect due to age.

In front of him, Fu Liancheng appeared instead too rigid and obedient, he thought briefly: “But when I inquired, I heard Master Sun say that he had been traveling abroad in his early years…”
“Hah, what a convenient excuse.”

“Do you not believe it?”

“Do you?”

“…No.” Fu Liancheng couldn’t fathom the intricacies and asked blankly, “Father, do you suspect he is from that era?”

The head of the Fu family said indifferently, “Yes, or no, it doesn’t matter.”

“This…” Fu Liancheng was stunned.

What’s important then?

He wanted to ask, but feared his father would retort with, “Are you so dumb that you’re really my son?”

He would usually be punished in such instances.

So he simply shut his mouth.

The head of the Fu family sighed, “I heard the Song family lost face last night.”

“…That’s true. Chen Gongfei was also involved; should I ask him to come over?”

“An opportunist. Why bother seeing him!”

Scolded by the head of the Fu family, Fu Liancheng dared not speak further.

Suddenly, he heard him saying, “Challenge that Mr. Sun to a duel!”

“Eh?”

“Look at you, just invite him, three o’clock in the afternoon at Bamboo New Garden, and have tea with the old man.”

Fu Liancheng was even more confused, and he looked over inquiringly,
making a gesture of decapitation.

The head of the Fu family kicked at him, annoyed, “Are you so foolish? Bamboo New Garden was personally built by your mother; would you really bear to see it destroyed?”

Fu Liancheng felt wronged.

Then don’t jest with your son like this.

But he dared not voice this out.

After being scolded, he hurriedly left.

After the door closed.

The expression of the head of the Fu family finally eased a little bit.

“Xiao Shu, do you think he is from the Old Gods Association, or from Star Ring?”

“I don’t know.”

A faint voice came from the shadows.
