Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 167: Efforts of a waste

Gritting his teeth, "I am supposed to shut up! It's disrespectful not to honor her wish." Gao Shen said, ignoring how Gao Tsu was strangely looking at him.

If it was on a much more suitable time, he wouldn't have controlled himself from laughing at his old man's wrinkled expression. 

He couldn't just tell his father that he lost a bet, which is why he was not able to really refuse Gao Lan Mei's orders.

The Gao old man will surely seal him to cultivate for long, in an immortal cave. 'Nope! Will definitely not tell.' Gao Shen decided.

"Huh! I guess that's the second command since you lost to, her!"  Gao Qi declared gloating, to Gao Shen's discomfort. He will not allow his brother to get away just like that, for not telling them more on what's going on.

His eyes bulged, then threw daggers to Gao Qi, "Brother!" he exclaimed feeling betrayed. Give it to his brother who did not care about his future predicament. 

Then looked at Gao Tsu with despair, "Father, you know it's like this..." he started his hands doing a circular motion that did not fit his image.

Who cared about Gao Shen's image anyway?  Definitely not Gao Tsu.

"You will clean the ancestral home for a year and after that, you will be going to a closed-door cultivation. I am the only one who will be  allowed to get you out." Gao Tsu said seriously leaving no room for argument.

"Father! I did not lose with cultivation! Mei're was just smarter than me. You cannot force me to close door cultivation." Gao Shen reacted adamantly. Despite Gao Tsu's tone, as the youngest, he was already used to dealing with this sort of situations. 

Raising a brow, "Then you will stay under Scholar Nen as a helper for a year, and that's final!" This son of his was so afraid to go into closed-door cultivation. When he was young, he always followed the patriarch when training.

It's not that Gao Tsu felt bad for Gao Shen's loss.  The bloodline running in his granddaughter was exceptional. Perhaps it was inevitable for anyone to lose to her eventually. 

However, that did not mean he wouldn't take advantage of this situation to train Gao Shen, who most of the times just caused too much mischief in the Immortal Domain.  

'A thousand efforts of a waste will surpass a genius.' Gao Tsu always believed in this. So how many geniuses will a thousand efforts surpass if it was done by a genius? He also wanted Gao Shen to train to be able to take care of himself.

The Immortal Domain was a treacherous place. The weak serve the strong, and as much as possible his family will never bow to anyone. 

Nodding helplessly, "I understand." he said more relaxed. Enduring the scholar was a lot better than being confined in a closed-door cultivation. Who knew how long that will take? His father might even forget his existence.

Then he added, "How about you father? What made you go back to the Mortal Domain?" he asked, aside from trying to change the topic, he was also curious about this. 

There was no important event in the Gao Family as there was no date decided yet for Gao Lan Mei's marriage. 

Did his father learned about the marriage? He was not sure if he should tell everyone that Gao Lan Mei was staying at her fiance's place.

"Since you asked nicely, I will tell you," still eyeing Yin Fu with mixed emotions. "I am interested in helping the Divine Shen Yu Priest on capturing a fugitive," he said considering something. 

With a frown, "Do you even need to get involved with that simple thing?" Gao Shen said, sitting in the nearest chair, and immediately picked up a teacup not caring if it was used by another.
