The Shanbu Prefecture Right Saint and Gong Family Head had personally spoken. Gong Shaoci had no room to resist and obediently came over. Though they were grandfather and grandson, more than a thousand years separated them in age.
Even as his biological grandfather, Gong Xuan was not someone Gong Shaoci often saw. Unless there was a pressing need to meet, even his own grandson would have difficulty seeing him. The moment they met, Gong Shaoci respectfully kowtowed and saluted.
Gong Xuan sat upright behind his desk and scrutinized his grandson. He had to admit that the boy had grown well in both appearance and physique. He did not tell him to rise, instead asking slowly, “Why did Lei Ying disappear?
What exactly have you done behind the family’s back?” Gong Shaoci raised his head but did not dare to get up on his own. Trembling with fear, he said, “Grandfather, I’ve always behaved properly and observed the family’s rules.
I really haven’t done anything, Grandfather. Please see clearly—I truly don’t know why Lei Ying disappeared!” He was not exactly lying.
