The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 272. Rival
After Grandpa Man stopped the gentle elucidation in his head, Gou Long became dazed against the state plastered before his eyes at this moment. He himself was no less surprised and sad as well as Grandpa Man, after listening to the last words from Grandpa Man earlier.
Everything about Father-Mother to Gou Long was all very vague. Since childhood, he only knew their family lived in the Valley of Lightning Mountain, and lived farming and hunting.
When Manager Bei of the Heavenly Dragon Sect said his father was a swordsman from the Northern region, it was still one very small veil opened, it could be said to be just the starting point.
Right now, there appeared three people who even according to the three of them, his father was a Young Patriarch of the same surnamed Clan as him, the Gou Clan. This information is even the same as jumping from the first ladder continues beyond several steps, to the end of the stairs.
This fact, a little more has opened the veil of intentions Gou Long who wants to know the ins and outs of his family, although what he knows is still very little.
“His father used to be the Young Patriarch of the Gou Clan,” Inner Gou Long.
“Lantas how about Mom?” Gou Long wondered to himself.
“Refer from Grandpa Man's words, that father left the Clan by escaping from the Clan. Is this related to Mom?” advanced Inner Gou Long.
The four people continued to drift in each other's minds.
“Grandpa Man!” greeting from Gou Chen, reducing the sad atmosphere, as Grandpa Man looked towards him, Gou Chen said, “So! This Gou brother, our cousin?” he asked to confirm what he had heard.
The sadness that had stopped in Grandpa Man's heart began to diminish a lot, his shaky heart had been able to control, “According to what Long ‘er explained earlier, that his father was named Gou Han, who was the only one who had lost his heart, his mother was named Su Lan. Isn't it Uncle Han you've been looking for all this time, his father?”
Grandfather Man had already made a familiar greeting to Gou Long.
“Then, his face, gestures, and the familiarity you feel when you are with him, isn't this nostalgic for your closest family?” Grandfather Man reaffirms every fact that exists in Gou Long.
Gou Chen and Gou Ing-ing realized the truth of Grandpa Man's every word. Their eyes twinkled brighter and brighter, but then when they remembered Uncle Han had died, the look on his face again looked gloomy.
“The Patriarch's grandfather was exposed to poison from a powerful enemy, and fell ill for so many years, maybe these were the last years of his life, until now only one that he kept longing for, he said, namely the return of Uncle Han..” Inner Gou Chen, he shook his head slowly, remembering the life toyed by fate.
“Haaaah!” unconsciously Gou Chen let out a long sigh.
The atmosphere around where they were standing and conversing was indeed noisier, but for these four people, at that moment of silence, they were immersed in their own thoughts.
Gou Ing-ing, still glued to the spot, might just be what he thought was the same as what Gou Chen was thinking, he had been fully able to digest every conversation that had just taken place between Gou Chen, Grandfather Man and Gou Long. Common sense first comes to the mind of the girl, she more quickly realized from daydreaming.
Gou Chen came to a realization, after hearing Gou Ing-ing's words, it just so happened that the two of them saw each other one and the other, Gou Chen nodded lightly, a sign that Gou Ing-ing should continue his words.
“Kakek Man! Gou Twako both! Related to this we are talking about at length in the Klan, besides this concerns Klan policy since a long time ago, talking about everything in the crowd like here will only add to the ugliness and tarnish the good name of the Gou Clan in the Northern area.”.
Grandfather Man and Gou Chen, agreeing with what Gou Ing-ing said, the name of the Gou Clan had indeed been tarnished first, when Gou Han left the Clan just like that, he was a future Patriarch of the next generation.
Now that the great Patriarch had been poisoned by someone else, the name of the Gou Clan had only sunk further.
Gou Long also strongly agreed with Gou Ing-ing's opinion, let alone with the confidence Grandfather Man showed when staring and talking about him, Gou Chen and Gou Ing-ing, respectively, it has been asserted as an important part of the Gou Clan.
But, leaving just like that and not visiting the Spiritual Water Bath, it felt like it would be a waste to come here.
As Gou Long wanted to convey what he was thinking, another reprimanding voice rang out filled with ridicule, “Wah! Young miss, young Master, and Old Managers of the Gou Clan are again seen here.”.
“Ha ha ha..” laughed mockingly, the voice continued, “How about the young Miss of the Gou Clan to repeat the history that happened before… Miss Gou eloped and escaped from this Northern area with me.”
It was definitely not just a small innuendo, but a loud mockery that everyone could hear. So this group of four Gou Clan people in a single instant, became the sharpest highlight of all the eyes of the people who went to the Spiritual Water City, before those people resumed their respective activities.
Not willing to take a striking attitude, Gou Long tried to analyze the situation first, the ridicule was clearly very insulting, and very hurtful to hear it, “Married run!” these words are a disgrace that would be very shameful for the family, and it is possible that this was the work of his father.
However, to Gou Chen and Gou Ing-ing this would be a different thing, they were obviously very angry, although these kinds of ridicule had been heard very often in the mouths of the people of the Northern region, especially those who lived in the Spiritual Water City and its surroundings.
But still, it was Gou Ing-ing's degrading words that were the source of the overflowing anger.
Grandpa Man himself was also very angry, the three of them were hot, as if they were going to explode.
The three turned their heads towards the origin of the voice, they recognized, the one shouting and mocking it was the rival of the Gou Clan, that is, one of the members of the Lau Clan. The people from the Gou Clan also believed their old Patriarch was poisoned by the Lau Clan's men.
With a fiery gaze, Gou Ing-ing scolded a sniff, “Lau Clan Trash! Who does not know there gathered people cunning, cynical and justifying all means just for your pleasure.”.
“People like you in my eyes, let alone to be married, to be my bab only you do not deserve.”
Gou Ing-ing was furious, her screams were loud, even the mockery made the passersby stop and look towards them, and decided to watch this little commotion.
