After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian went to the side hall to have the painter draw their portraits. After Shangguan Qian wiped her tears, she was calm and composed again, but Yun Weishan was not like that. When she thought that her identity might be exposed, she couldn't help but look bitter.

Shangguan Qian felt Yun Weishan looking at her, but she just curled the corners of her lips slightly and ignored him.

……

In the Elders' Hall, everyone had not left yet. Not only that, another guard went to invite Gong Zishang over.

Gong Zishang didn't understand why, but as soon as he entered the door, he instinctively stood on Gong Ziyu's side.

Seeing this, Yang Mei snorted lightly and said nothing.

Gong Shangjiao turned around and looked at his little lover and his other two younger brothers. He made a "please" gesture, and Yang Mei and the other two shook their heads like rattles.

Okay, as the big brother, he has become a substitute for his younger brothers.

"Then you will be responsible for the replenishment." As long as you cooperate with me.

The three of them began to nod like chicks pecking at rice.

Jin Jue looked at the adorable Yang Mei with a mysterious smile on his face, like a pervert!

The only one who saw it was Gong Shangjiao, who felt his eyes hurt, because it is obvious that Yuanzheng’s younger brother is the cutest!

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

Gong Shangjiao turned around and said seriously: "I would like to ask the three elders to stay for a while. I have something important to discuss with you."

Gong Ziyu immediately put on his sword-wielding manner and said in a calm voice, "The three elders are old, let them go back and rest first. If you have anything important to say, you can tell me directly. Although I am still young and inexperienced, I am already a sword-wielding master, so please be careful and modest, Master Shangjiao."

Gong Shangjiao looked at him with a smile, wow, he hasn't said anything yet, but Gong Ziyu couldn't wait to use his identity as a swordsman to put pressure on him.

Yang Mei and the others had the same expression as him.

Gong Ziyu said in all honesty that if only Gong Shangjiao looked at him like this, he would at most roll his eyes in response. He was already holding a blade, so how could he be afraid of Gong Er?! But it was different now. The whole row of people on the opposite side looked at him like this, so much so that he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, fearing that it would be stained with rice grains, vegetable leaves or something like that, and he wouldn't know it was over.

"This is exactly what I want to discuss. I'm sure you've noticed that from the time you took over the position of Blade Master until now, none of us brothers have ever saluted you, nor have we ever sincerely called you Blade Master, right?

It's not easy for us to shout "Draw the Blade" to you, brother Ziyu."

Who is Gong Ziyu? He is a person who is still stubborn even if he is dead now: "I think it is not difficult!"

Gong Shangjiao really couldn't help laughing this time. He looked at the three elders who were sitting there and said, "All the elders are here today. What I want to say is that I, Jiaogong, do not approve of and am opposed to Gong Ziyu becoming the new Blade Master of the Palace Sect."

"Shang Gong seconded the motion."

"Zheng Gong seconded the motion."

Yang Mei and Gong Yuanzheng spoke at the right time.

There was silence in the Elder Hall. The three elders looked at each other. They knew that they would not be able to escape this matter sooner or later.

As soon as Gong Zishang took a step, Yang Mei's eyes were cast on her, but she gritted her teeth and spoke despite the pressure: "There must be a reason to oppose Zhiren. According to the palace rules, if Zhiren and the young master die at the same time, the absent succession will be activated, but there is a document from the old Zhiren as evidence that before Gong Huanyu died, he was no longer the young master, and the new young master is Gong Ziyu. It is completely in line with the rules for the young master to further become Zhiren."

"Let's not talk about why Old Zhiren abolished Gong Huanyu's position as young master for no reason, and why he made Gong Ziyu, that useless fool, the young master without discussing it with our three palaces. At this moment, let's just talk about you, Gong Zishang. Shang Palace doesn't allow people with ulterior motives. If you do that again, you'll just go and live in Yu Palace!" Yang Mei didn't give her half-sister any face at all.

Gong Zishang's face turned pale, but he still stood there forcibly: "But the fact is that Gong Ziyu's becoming a blade holder did not violate the ancestral rules in the slightest. On the contrary, you, are you trying to challenge the ancestral precepts?!"

“Oh, Miss Zi Shang, if I were you, I wouldn’t mention the ancestors of the Gong family all the time. After all, you have supported a new swordsman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. With such behavior, aren’t you afraid that the ancestors will stand by your bed in the middle of the night to reason with you?” Gong Shangjiao’s voice was low and a bit eerie.

"I originally thought that the next Blade Master should be the top one among the four palaces in both civil and military tactics. However, when Gong Huanyu and I participated in the Three Realms Trial at the same time, and I completed it faster and better than him, he was appointed as the Young Master. From that time on, I knew that the ancestral family rules of the Gong family were bullshit!"

The faces of the three elders, Gong Ziyu and Gong Zishang looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

"That's fine. Although Gong Huanyu is not a talented person, he has done nothing wrong as the young master over the years. So, what made Old Zhiren dethrone the young master and appoint Gong Ziyu as the young master? What was he after? Can the three elders explain this to us all?"

The three elders could not explain the confusion. They said that the old master had discussed this matter with them before his death. It was just a fabrication of theirs, but the document really existed. They said that just to make Gong Ziyu's succession more legitimate! Why do you have to make a big deal out of it? Since the matter has been settled, why not just accept it? Anyway, there must be a master of swords in the palace!

The three old men's speechlessness was something that Gong Shangjiao and the others had expected.

"What about you, brother Ziyu? Do you think you have any shining qualities that can support the position of a sword wielder?"

Gong Ziyu opened his mouth weakly, he couldn't say what his strengths were.

"Saying that you have no talent or morals may still be a solution, but one thing is for sure, you must at least be a member of the Gong family, right?" Yang Mei's words came out lightly but seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds.

Gong Ziyu was the first to lose his composure: "What are you talking about? Have you explained it clearly?!"

"Gong Ziyu became the Sword Master of the Palace Gate. Do you think we are the only ones who have objections? There are so many servants and guards in the Palace Gate. They are basically the natives who have lived in the Palace Gate for generations. They know everything about the affairs of the Palace Gate.

Since Gong Ziyu was a child, there have been rumors in the palace that he is not Lao Zhiren's biological son. Many people in the palace know that Gong Ziyu was born prematurely before the tenth month of pregnancy. His mother, Madam Lan, has always been rumored to have a lover before she married into the palace, so it is hard to say whether Gong Ziyu was born prematurely or full-term.

"Gong Lingshang, don't talk nonsense!" Jin Fan immediately spoke up to protect his master.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak here!" Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were like a poisonous blade, blowing towards Jin Fan with a cold wind.

Yang Mei continued sarcastically: "It's the Yu Palace that has to keep the guards. They are so arrogant that they think they are the masters. I think guard Jin Fan will be able to wield a blade tomorrow!"
