When Gu Yuan was competing with people from the Du family in the mandala, a big news broke out in the capital.
Kong Baihe, a student of the Martial Arts Academy who is known as the number one genius in the capital, actually offered to go to the Star Town Demon Division and become a member of the Demon Suppression Division.
This decision not only caused an uproar in the Kong family, but also shocked the entire capital.
After all, not only the Kong family, but almost everyone knew that as long as Kong Baihe graduated from the martial arts academy and the old man left, he would step by step become the next head of the Kong family.
And this is also the decision that Mr. Kong has made long ago, skipping his son and handing over the position of head of the family to his grandson.
This was originally an unreasonable decision, but because it was Kong Baihe, everyone felt that this kind of thing became reasonable again. After all, with Kong Baihe in the Kong family, everyone else would be overshadowed.
Moreover, Mr. Kong had health problems before. If Kong Baihe hadn't asked for medicine, the old man might have passed away by now.
For this reason, the position of the head of the Kong family must belong to Kong Baihe!
Just when everyone thought so, Kong Baihe actually wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division. Even if he joined the Demon Suppression Division, he went to Star City instead!
At this time, everyone was a little confused.
Kong Baihe is now leaving the capital, going to Star City, or joining the Demon Suppression Division. Isn't this voluntarily giving up the right to inherit the position of the head of the family?
No one can understand this operation, including the Kong family.
On the contrary, Kong Baihe, who was caught in the center of the storm, felt extremely calm at the moment.
When you are preparing to make a decision, you are most nervous before you speak, because you don’t know what kind of trouble it will cause, and everything is uncontrollable.
Install the latest version. 】
But when the decision is made, I feel calm inside.
However, life seems to have become noisy. Some people always ask him what he is thinking. Even the mobile phone cannot be quiet for a moment. The calls and messages come one after another.
There really is never a moment of leisure.
In the same way, the more times you deal with it, the more irritated you will be.
So Kong Baihe simply turned off his mobile phone and moved to a small yard in the backyard of Kong's house.
Kong Baihe still has a lot of affection for this small yard. When he was ignorant in the past, whenever he made a mistake, his grandfather would rush him here and send someone to guard it, as if he was grounded.
In the past, Kong Baihe felt terrified when he saw this small courtyard, but now, he felt a little bit enjoying it.
People seem to be like this. When they were young, they always liked to be lively, like to gather with relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and like to play childish games with a group of friends.
But at a certain stage of life, you suddenly like to be alone and enjoy the quiet time. Instead, you will be afraid of the New Year, afraid of the excitement, and even afraid of the sudden concern of friends you have not contacted for many years.
But not long after, the courtyard door was knocked open by a middle-aged man.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this middle-aged man's eyebrows are fifty or six similar to Kong Baihe's. He has gentle eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall and straight posture, but he looks a little more bookish.
"Dad." Kong Baihe welcomed the middle-aged man in with a smile.
The middle-aged man crossed the threshold, walked into the courtyard, looked at the tea and books placed on the small table in the middle of the courtyard, and looked at Kong Baihe with some surprise.
"Drinking tea and reading books were not your favorite things before." The middle-aged man said in a gentle tone.
"Well, I didn't like it before, but I don't like it now. Reading is just to pass the time." Kong Baihe said with a smile.
It's really unaccustomed to turn off the phone. Apart from reading, there seems to be nothing else to do.
As for drinking tea…
He just happened to find a bag of tea in this yard, thinking that it would be idle, so he brewed it.
Just now my father was here, so I quickly poured a glass.
After taking a sip of tea and looking at his son, Kong Kongshan suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.
As Kong Baihe grew up, there seemed to be some barriers between father and son.
Just like now.
Kong Baihe, as his son, had not discussed such a big matter before.
If this were spread, perhaps no one would believe it.
Oh no.
Stop talking about outsiders.
None of the Kong family would believe it!
Faced with his father's arrival, Kong Baihe was also a little nervous.
However, Kong Kongshan did not come to ask questions as he thought. After taking another sip of tea, he asked slowly: "Have you made a decision?"
"Well, I've thought about it." Kong Baihe said immediately.
After Kong Kongshan was silent for a moment, he nodded slightly.
"Now that you've thought about it, I won't ask you why you made such a choice."
Kong Baihe looked at his father in surprise.
This understatement seems a bit excessive.
Then, Kong Kongshan said: "Your grandfather has placed high hopes on you for so many years. Now that you suddenly make such a decision, the old man still needs to be comforted."
"Well..." Kong Baihe sighed.
After Kong Kongshan finished a cup of tea, he stood up and left.
Kong Baihe, on the other hand, was still sitting in the yard, dazed, thinking about what Li Siming had said to him before.
In this family, it is true that many people do not want to become the head of the Kong family.
Perhaps, his father is also one of them.
For Kong Baihe, leaving the capital means leaving the center of the storm. Moreover, he does not feel that he is suitable to be the head of the Kong family, but he has never thought about this issue before. It seems that he, like most people, thinks this It was something that was about to happen, but I never thought there was another option.
It was Li Siming who gave him a choice.
At this moment, a slight cough came from outside the courtyard gate.
When Kong Baihe heard the familiar coughing sound, he quickly got up and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he saw the old man walking in.
Mr. Kong seemed to be terminally ill before, but with the elixir donated by Gu Yuan, the old man has returned to his former glory, but everyone knows that the elixir is just to extend his life.
Birth, old age, illness and death are the laws of heaven. No one can circumvent them, and the same is true for the old man. Now he is just using pills to live longer.
However, now the old man's face is glowing, full of energy, and even his eyes have become much sharper, as if he has returned to a few years ago.
"Grandpa." Kong Baihe shouted tremblingly, without any place to move his hands and feet.
Although he felt very calm after making the decision, and he also knew that this decision was something that many people wanted to see, the only one Kong Baihe did not dare to face was his grandfather.
No one knows better than him how much effort this old man has put into him.
The old man looked at his beloved grandson with stern eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the teacup on the table and asked softly: "Who was here before?"
"My Father."
"Hmm...did he persuade you?"
Kong Baihe was speechless for a moment.
The old man sneered.
"guessed."
After saying that, he left Kong Baihe behind, strode forward, and then sat where Kong Kongshan had been sitting.
Seeing Kong Baihe still standing there stupidly, not daring to look at him, the old man said impatiently: "Why are you still standing? I don't deserve to drink your tea?"
Kong Baihe reacted, hurriedly walked over, opened a new cup, ironed it for the old man, and then poured another cup of tea.
"Grandpa, drink tea." Kong Baihe offered it with both hands.
The old man took the teacup, took a sip, and then gently put it down.
"sit down."
"yes……"
After Kong Baihe sat down, the old man said, "Have you really decided to go to Star City?"
"Um."
"You won't change?"
Kong Baihe was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked into the old man's eyes that could see through everything, and finally mustered up the courage to nod firmly.
"I won't change it."
The old man smiled and said quietly: "Is that the advice that bastard Li Siming gave you?"
Kong Baihe's eyes widened in disbelief!
