Chapter 168: The Moon Palace Father and Son Finally Capsized

At midnight, Elder Yue finally felt exhausted and went back to his small hall in the Elders' Council to rest.

Elder Hua was worried about him, so he would go to his door to listen for any noise almost every half an hour.

Around 2 a.m., Elder Hua hurried into the side hall and said, "Xiao Yuanzheng, go check on Lao Yue, she has a fever!"

So punctual? Gong Yuanzheng had only seen Zhang Xueming take action three times so far, and she refused to admit the incident in the secret passage. But the remaining two times were enough to surprise him.

The two elders saw his expression and felt that the young palace master's medical skills were still not as good as those of Elder Yue and his son. But now that the other two had fallen, the only one who could do it was Gong Yuanzheng, so they had to make do with him.

Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao looked at each other, and Gong Shangjiao knew that Zhang Xueming's method was effective.

A group of four people rushed to the small temple.

Gong Yuanzheng took Elder Yue's pulse, and with the help of the two elders, he untied the bandage on Elder Yue's wound. After checking the wound, he couldn't help but frowned: "The wound is festering? That shouldn't be the case. Elder Yue used the best wound medicine in the palace, which contains Jinzhicao powder, which has excellent hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects."

He acted very well and even asked Elder Hua and Elder Xue: "Has the knife that the former young master used to injure Elder Yue been brought to the Elders' Council? I need to see if there is anything coated on it."

"If the knife was coated with medicine, Lao Yue wouldn't be able to find it?" Elder Hua said angrily.

Elder Xue tried to smooth things over and asked the guards to go to the Moon Palace to see if the knife that Gong Huanyu used to injure people was at the scene. If so, they should send it to the Elders' Council.

Gong Shangjiao took the opportunity to say, "I heard that Master Yue was also seriously injured. There is no doctor in the Moon Palace right now, and it is not a suitable environment for recuperation, so we might as well send him to the Elders' Council. Once we catch him... let Elder Yue and Master Yue stay in the Zheng Palace or the clinic temporarily, and it won't be too late to return to the back mountain after they have recovered from their injuries."

"No!" Elder Hua rejected it outright, "People from the back mountain are not allowed to enter the front mountain..." Suddenly remembering what happened to Mr. Hua, his voice weakened and he could only say vaguely, "In short, this is against the rules."

“Elder Hua, rules are dead, but people are alive.” Gong Shangjiao imitated Zhang Xueming’s way of persuading others and said sincerely, “Someone once said something to me that I think makes a lot of sense, ‘Instead of regretting after losing something, it is better to cherish it from the beginning.’

Two elders, I know that family rules and ancestral teachings are the foundation of the palace. But for me, nothing is more important than the safety of the bloodline of the Gong family. Not to mention, compared with the four palaces in the front mountain, the three palaces in the back mountain have paid more.

If I am the Blade Master, and due to family rules and ancestral teachings, I can only turn a blind eye to the plight of Elder Yue and Young Master Yue... then I would rather not be the Blade Master!"

Gong Yuanzheng got anxious when he heard this: "Brother! How could you..."

"Gong Yuanzheng, shut up!" Gong Shangjiao glared at his stupid brother and then continued to say to Elder Hua and Elder Xue, who had complicated expressions, "This matter has been settled. The responsibility is all mine. No matter what decision the Council of Elders makes, even if it requires me, Gong Shangjiao, to step down and let others take over, I will not regret it."

Elder Hua and Elder Xue did not ask Gong Shangjiao whether he was serious. Even though Gong Shangjiao had a bad reputation in the palace, one thing was recognized: Gong Shangjiao would definitely do what he said.

They also didn't think that Gong Shangjiao might be putting on a show.

Having your efforts seen, recognized, valued, and spoken of so bluntly and honestly... is undoubtedly a shock to these people who are destined to be trapped in the mountains.

Only Gong Yuanzheng's previous anxiety was swept away. He stared at Gong Shangjiao hesitantly for a while, then lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought: Why do I always feel that my brother is possessed by Zhao Zhao?

Elder Xue and Elder Hua did not bring up the family rules and ancestral teachings, and even consoled themselves in their hearts: Haven't the old Zhiren and Yugong made exceptions many times over the years? At least Gong Shangjiao did it for the people in their back mountain instead of for his own personal gain. How could the old Zhiren and Yugong be allowed to do so, but Gong Shangjiao, the new Zhiren, could not? There is no such reason in the world!

However, while waiting for the guards to go to the back mountain to pick up Master Yue and pack up the physical evidence at the scene, and while the servants went to make antipyretic medicine for Elder Yue, Elder Yue, who was feverish and unconscious, began to mutter incoherently.

Everyone present was a martial artist, and their hearing was good enough to hear those ambiguous words.

What are the things that Elder Yue regrets in his life, and what are the things that he considers regrettable?

Not many, just three.

But every one of them, if revealed, would cause a major earthquake in the mountains in front and behind the palace gate.

He did not see clearly the old swordsman Gong Hongyu, and easily followed his persuasion and assurance, helping Ming Wuji cover up the Wufeng Mei-level assassin for more than 20 years.

He failed to discover in time that Master Yue was in love with the Wufeng Chi-class assassin Yun Que, and also concealed the fact that Master Yue helped Yun Que fake his death and hung his "corpse" above the city gate in order to deceive Wufeng, which led to Yun Que's disappearance.

When he found out that Master Yue had brought Yun Que's sworn sister Yun Weishan, another Wu Feng Chi-level assassin, back to the Moon Palace, he did not deal with it decisively. He also concealed the real reason why Gong Huanyu murdered the father and son of the Moon Palace and Yun Weishan, which was another incident.

Elder Hua was so angry that his face turned blue. He deeply doubted whether Elder Yue, the so-called old friend, really regarded him as a friend.

He was tired of saying the word "absurd". In the end, he could only clench his fists and stare at Elder Yue who knew nothing about it, forcing out four words from between his teeth: "Shame on the palace!"

She walked aside and sat down, refusing to look at Elder Yue or speak again, feeling extremely sorry for Gong Shangjiao. She had thought so much about the two of them, even going against the family rules and ancestral teachings, but what did they do?

The families of Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng all died at the hands of Wufeng. When they heard about this... Master Yue even wanted to steal Gong Yuanzheng's Izumo Chonglian to feed the assassin Wufeng... Alas, Gongmen is unlucky!

Elder Xue closed his eyes and touched the Snow Palace token on his waist again and again. For the first time, his face was expressionless and as cold as a stone sculpture on an altar.

Thinking of his reluctance to put the top-quality snow lotus that he promised to Zhang Xueming into the box, and then thinking of the top-quality snow lotus that Master Yue took away and entered the stomach of the Edgeless Assassin, he had the urge to rush to the Snow Palace and pluck all the top-quality snow lotus and eat them.

Compared with the other two elders, Elder Xue is more like an ordinary person, with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary personality...

She would favor Gong Ziyu more because she often saw him, and would be more distant from him because of his unfilial and absurd behavior; she would be more indifferent to Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao because of the unbearable rumors she heard about them, and would be closer to them because of the more contact and understanding she had with them.

But the premise of all this is that there is no striker involved.

Wu Feng is the mortal enemy of Gongmen. This is not just a slogan, but the common understanding of the people of Gongmen.

During the ten-year catastrophe, many members of the three tribes and guards sent from the back mountain to the front mountain for support died. However, apart from Gong Hongyu, not many people in the front mountain knew about this.

Many of the younger generations in Elder Xue's clan had died, and he had watched them grow up. At that time, many of the younger generations in Elder Yue's clan had also died in the battle, and one of them was said to be more talented than Young Master Yue. So he couldn't understand Elder Yue's behavior even more.

Rarely, this time Elder Xue made a decision faster than Elder Hua: "The Moon Palace needs a new successor. The position of elder will be temporarily vacant until the new successor can be recognized by the Blade Master and the Elders' Council."
