On the other side, in the Gao Residence.
The letter sent from Antler Pass was finally delivered to this place by the secret messenger of the Gao Residence.
"I'm relieved."
After reading the contents of the letter, Gao Shilian finally felt relieved.
From the moment Fearless left the Gao Residence to the time he was heading towards Antler Pass, he was worried that something might happen on the way.
"The two of you can stay in Antler Pass. The Zhangsun Clan and the Li Clan can't do anything to this old man for the time being.”
Gao Shilian took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"Ta Ta…"
Footsteps sounded, and Gao Shilian instinctively destroyed the letter.
"Old Master, the Zhangsun Clan has sent someone over.”
The person who came was just a servant of the Gao Manor.
"Let him in."
Gao Shilian waved his sleeves and said.
The servant took his leave and in a short while, he brought Zhangsun Qiang of the Zhangsun Clan over.
This person was merely a concubine's son of the Zhangsun Clan, and his status was only slightly higher than the Zhangsun Clan's servants. He was probably here to question them.
"Lord Gao."
After Zhangsun Qiang entered, although he bowed slightly, the arrogance in his eyes was not hidden at all.
"What is it?"
Gao Shilian naturally wouldn't give him a good look.
"Zhangsun Wuji has left for a long time, why hasn't there been any news?”
Zhangsun Qiang said bluntly, his tone carrying a questioning tone.
"How would I know? I have no news of him.”
Gao Shilian waved his sleeves with a cold face, his tone already carrying a trace of anger.
"Don't get into trouble in the Gao Residence. This is a matter that the Li Clan has requested.”
Zhangsun Qiang was reprimanded on the spot and said with a hint of threat.
"Men, send the guests out."
Unexpectedly, Gao Shilian stood up and ordered him to leave.
"Alright, let's see."
Although Zhangsun Qiang was dissatisfied with Gao Shilian's attitude, he could not flare up. After saying this, he could only leave the Gao Manor dejectedly.
"Young Master Li, please wait for me to report…"
"I can't wait. Where is Lord Gao?”
Not long after Zhangsun Qiang left, a commotion broke out as Li Shimin barged in.
One of the servants wanted to stop him, but Li Shi Min was too strong.
"Sigh, one after another.”
Gao Shilian only felt a headache and immediately dismissed the servants.
"Lord Gao, why is there still no news of Wuji?”
Li Shi Min walked in and asked anxiously.
"I don't know anything about them either, so I'm a little anxious.”
Obviously, Gao Shilian did not intend to tell the truth for the safety of the siblings.
"I will take my leave."
Li Shimin was very smart. He had some guesses from Gao Shilian's evasive gaze and unnatural body movements.
Therefore, knowing that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, he could only turn around and leave.
"This kid's observation skills are different.”
Gao Shilian looked at the departing figure and did not say anything.
"In what way am I inferior to Lin Changye?”
On the way out of the Gao Mansion, Li Shiming staggered, his eyes filled with endless grief.
There were still messages from his good friend, and with Lord Gao's unnatural behavior, he knew that his good friend and sweetheart had most likely chosen to stay in Antler Pass.
"In terms of talent, I'm both civil and martial. That fellow is just an ordinary man.”
"In terms of background, I am a noble with five surnames and seven Wangs. That guy is just a Jin merchant.”
Li Shi Min held onto the wall of the Gao Manor with one hand and slapped his chest with the other. He was so angry that he couldn't even breathe.
“………”
At the same time, Zhangsun Qiang brought the news back to the Patriarch's Residence.
"Are you going against me?"
When Zhangsun Chi heard the news, he slammed his palm on the table.
It was enough time to go back and forth from here to Jizhou. In addition, there was no news from him, so he could basically determine the final result.
"Without a family to rely on, you are just commoners.”
Zhangsun Chi's anger had yet to subside, and his face appeared somewhat red.
"Forget it, bring the news to the Li family.”
After a moment, Zhangsun Chi finally sighed helplessly.
If these hateful siblings didn't come back, what could they do?
It was impossible for him to bring people to Jizhou to look for them, right?
"Yes."
Zhangsun Qiang lowered his head and replied. Then, he turned around and left.
The news quickly reached the Li family. Zhangsun Qiang was afraid of being angered by the Duke, so he left in a hurry after bringing the news.
"Young Master Li?"
However, on the way, he bumped into the dejected Li Shi Min, but the latter ignored him and walked straight towards the prefect.
"Zhangsun Wuji, Zhangsun Wugou!”
Li Shi Min had just walked through the door when he heard his father laugh in anger.
His elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji were also trying to persuade him not to be too angry.
"Shimin…"
Seeing Li Shiming return as if he had lost his soul, Li Yuan knew that his second son had already found out about this.
"Since they won't come back, don't blame me for being heartless. From today onwards, these two siblings are enemies of our Li family!”
Li Yuan said coldly.
"Yes, Father."
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji both responded.
"Shimin, when we catch them, I will let you deal with them personally.”
Seeing that his second son's expression remained unchanged, Li Yuan added.
"Alright, Father."
When Li Shi Min heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
"Don't you think Lin Changye is powerful? Then I'll join the army and wipe out all of Lin Changye's forces before taking you back.”
Li Shiming clenched his fists. He knew that he couldn't continue to be depressed like this. He had to prove himself in another way.
"At that time, you will be at my mercy. I will personally bring my achievements to you and ask you if you regret it.”
Li Shi Min clenched his teeth and made up his mind.
"Good, good…"
Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his second son had pulled himself together.
"Second brother, please take it easy."
He couldn't pretend that he didn't see anything. Li Jiancheng, who was standing at the side, comforted him casually.
“………”
Li Shi Min ignored his elder brother completely. The two brothers didn't care about each other. They were already at odds with each other.
It wasn't the first time something like this happened.
"Trash, a person who can't even protect his own woman is still putting on airs?”
Li Yuanji muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disdain.
To a man, this was undoubtedly the most humiliating thing. The woman he loved was snatched away by his enemy.
Furthermore, he had willingly followed his enemy in the end. There was nothing more painful for Li Shiming than all these things added together.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had been scolded by his father before, he would have said it directly this time.
"Don't worry, I will uphold justice for you.”
Seeing this, Li Yuan patted Li Shiming's shoulder, indicating that the second son did not have to worry too much.
