Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

As the Sword Master, Gong Shangjiao's first order was to postpone the succession ceremony and not to inform the outside world that the Sword Master had been replaced for the time being. Then he returned to Jiao Palace and admitted his mistake in front of Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin was just stretching out her hand and letting Yingchun help her draw patterns on her nails. As soon as Gong Shangjiao came in, Yingchun naturally stopped.

Seeing that Gong Shangjiao was in a bad mood, Jiang Xinxin gave Yingchun a look, and then she took the others and went downstairs first.

"What happened again?"

Gong Shangjiao just felt it difficult to face Jiang Xinxin's concern at the moment, although he was indeed very happy in his heart.

Sitting opposite Jiang Xinxin, Gong Shangjiao's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry at any time. Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but start to speculate all kinds of extreme situations.

Gong Shangjiao calmed down, but still couldn't help but pull Jiang Xinxin's hand, and then asked: "Nanyi, if you can never go out again in your life, no matter how beautiful the lanterns at the foot of the mountain are, you can't go to see them, will you hate me one day?"

Jiang Xinxin didn't understand what the palace official meant at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she answered seriously: "I think my kung fu is not bad. The palace gates may be well guarded, but for a martial arts master, many things are indeed very convenient. Maybe I can't go out openly, but who knows what's going on in secret?"

As she spoke, Jiang Xinxin shook Gong Shangjiao's hand back and said with a smile, "Besides, you're so nice, how can I bear to hate you?"

Although he knew that Jiang Xinxin just had a slight crush on him, Gong Shangjiao still couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He couldn't suppress the curled corners of his mouth, and he even hoped that time would stop at this moment.

After a while, Gong Shangjiao shyly let go of Jiang Xinxin's hand and honestly explained that he had inherited the position of Sword Wielder.

"According to the palace rules, those holding swords can only guard the palace gates for life and are not allowed to leave. Nan Yi, you are my fiancée, and after we get married, you can only accompany me to guard the palace gates..."

Jiang Xinxin didn't feel anything when she heard this, but she quickly raised a question: "I heard that Lao Zhiren and Madam Lan met outside, and later when Madam Lan came to the palace to choose a husband, Lao Zhiren chose Madam Lan. So it seems that Lao Zhiren has been out of the house, so why can't he go out when it comes to you and Gong Ziyu?"

Gong Shangjiao also remembered that it seemed to be just as Jiang Xinxin said. Old Zhiren was able to go out before, otherwise how could he meet Madam Lan outside? And it seemed that Old Zhiren had openly taken Madam Lan to the town at the foot of the mountain to watch the lanterns, so Gong Ziyu often sneaked out.

Seeing Gong Shangjiao also looking thoughtful, Jiang Xinxin knew that Shi Wufeng must have done something wrong, so she suggested: "You can see that Gong Ziyu, who has not experienced the world, has no idea how dangerous the palace gate is now. In addition, the back mountain seems to be guarding something very important, which requires a higher level of strength, brainpower, and character."

“If you don’t go out and gain more experience, I’m afraid that your offspring will sooner or later follow Gong Ziyu’s path. So I suggest that after you kill Wu Feng this time, send the bloodline of the palace gate in the front mountain and the descendants of the three palaces in the back mountain out to venture into the world first, so that they can see more of the world and suffer more losses.”

Gong Shangjiao really didn't expect that Jiang Xinxin would view some of the palace rules in this way.

But as a man who had followed his father in the martial arts world since childhood, he also admitted that if the palace gate was no longer threatened by Wu Feng, it should really send all the young men from the front and back mountains out to travel more.

Let’s talk about Gong Yuanzheng, he also lost his parents when he was young, and then slowly learned to take on the heavy responsibility of Gong Zheng. Even though he has never been in the world now, there are many people outside who know his name, Gong Yuanzheng, and many medicines made by him are very popular in the world.

As for letting the people from the back mountain come out, this matter is not something that can be relaxed after solving the problem of Wufeng. It was only after Gong Shangjiao took on the title of Blade Bearer that he realized that in addition to miasma and endless flowing fire, the back mountain also guarded a lot of alienated people and animals.

The miasma in the back mountain is becoming more and more serious because there are more and more alienated people in the back mountain.

After thinking about it, Gong Shangjiao decided to tell Jiang Xinxin something: "Nanyi, there is indeed a powerful infinite fire in the mountain behind the palace gate, but in fact, there is also a group of alienated humans and animals guarding the mountain. Those alienated people and animals are extremely powerful and can't be killed. They also emit poisonous gas all over their bodies, so the miasma in the mountain is getting worse and worse. What's more terrible is that once those alienated people and animals smell the smell of flesh and blood, they will riot. Normal people and animals will also be alienated if they are exposed to it."

"Since the ancestors of the palace found those alienated people and animals, they have been unable to do anything for hundreds of years. They can only sacrifice a large number of descendants to lock those alienated people and animals in caves as a means of disposal. If those alienated people and animals are ever to appear in the world, the palace will truly be the sinner of the world."

Jiang Xinxin knew early on that this world had not been restarted, and it was certainly not an illusion arranged by heaven, let alone a parallel time and space. As for the alienated people and animals in the back mountain, they should be just illusions, and the miasma was naturally not real miasma.

But she couldn't tell Gong Shangjiao about this, so she could only pretend to guess, "Since swords can't kill him, burning him should be fine, right?"

Gong Shangjiao felt as if he had been enlightened, but at the same time he was also worried about the brains of the palace's predecessors. It seemed that no one had ever thought of using fire on those alienated people and animals!

Jiang Xinxin continued to pretend to casually point out: "Even if those alienated people and animals are really invulnerable, there will always be relatively soft places, just like a turtle, even if the back is a hard tortoise shell, the abdomen is relatively soft."

The more Jiang Xinxin talked, the more Gong Shangjiao felt that the predecessors were indeed a little rigid in their thinking, but he immediately became excited again. Not to mention Wufeng for the time being, the layout had already begun anyway, and it was only a matter of time before Wufeng was destroyed.

But if the disaster in the back mountain can be really solved, the combat effectiveness of the back mountain can be greatly released, and we will have at least half more confidence to fight against Wufeng.

Gong Shangjiao walked over and took Jiang Xinxin into his arms, "Nanyi, it's a great fortune to have you in the palace. It's even more of a blessing for me, Gong Shangjiao, to have you after several lifetimes of cultivation!"

Gong Shangjiao is not willing to let Jiang Xinxin walk around at night in fine clothes. He can of course silently give everything for the palace, but Jiang Xinxin cannot. Any contribution of Jiang Xinxin must be remembered by everyone in the palace, otherwise it would be a shame for Jiang Xinxin's hard work for the palace.
