Zhang Xueming heard the conversation and tone of the two people clearly, and after a little thought he understood what was going on.

Gong Shangjiao left the palace for some business. Before leaving, he arranged for Qingzhi to greet his designated "fiancée". He wanted to skip some steps that he thought were unnecessary, and he might have reported it to Gongmen Zhiren.

At that time, Gongmen Zhiren should have agreed, but no one knows why he changed his mind later.

But Qing Zhi had already mentioned Gong Shangjiao, and the commander of the guards still acted in a businesslike manner in public. I'm afraid he was trying to curry favor with his superiors and deliberately save face for Gong Shangjiao.

Quite ridiculous.

Gong Shangjiao has been running around in the martial arts world for ten years to make money to support the palace. He has encountered assassinations by Wufeng more than once or twice. He is like a diligent old ox, but in the end, the palace guards refused to give him even a little face. Even the commander of the guards could step on him...

Oh, forget it. Don’t meddle in other people’s family affairs. You should know that if you meddle in other people’s business, you will get into trouble.

What exists now between the Zheng family and Gong Shangjiao is nothing more than a deal. The injustice that Zhang Xueming suffered at the palace gate because of Gong Shangjiao can be deducted from the balance when the time comes. There is no need to feel really sorry for him.

If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?

He might even be enjoying it.

Under the veil, Zhang Xueming lowered her eyes and looked at the slightly damp bluestone slabs with indifference in her eyes. She would follow Qing Zhi wherever he led her.

But I still feel a little unhappy about this.

Gong Shangjiao was not at the scene. No matter how the messenger describes what happened tonight to him, since he has not experienced it personally, there is no guarantee that he will let it go easily. He might even think that the person who reported it is making a fuss out of nothing and trying to sow discord among the Gong family.

But she was there, and she was being bullied in front of everyone!

Did the Zheng family trade so many resources to Gong Shangjiao just to let her come to the palace and suffer grievances?

But dream on!

After standing still, Zhang Xueming held his head high and chest out, stretched his shoulders and back, and folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, his aura fully open and his momentum awe-inspiring.

She was conscious of the arrogance and unattainable attitude that the daughters of wealthy families often used to implicitly fight back when faced with provocations. However, she did not realize that because of the blessing of her extraordinary temperament after reaching the seventh level of her mind method, in the eyes of others, even if she was just standing or with her back, she would give people a sense of transcendence that could not be contaminated by the mundane world and was above all things.

The transcendence belonging to the gods.

In front of the city gate, except for the ten brides to be chosen, everyone's eyes and attention were undoubtedly drawn to her.

The whole place was strangely quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, something fell from the cliff next to the city gate, rapidly falling with a whistling sound.

Finally, with a "bang", it hit the bluestone ground not far from the city gate, breaking into pieces and scattering fragments.

This extremely crisp sound, like the sound of a huge bell, awakened the crowd who seemed to have lost their souls and only knew how to stare at Zhang Xueming. It also startled Zhang Xueming so much that he quickly released his spiritual sense to check for clues.

Countless yellow-brown fragments lay quietly on the ground, and the larger pieces could barely be distinguished as noses and mouths...

It is roughly a mask, and the color is not ordinary oil paint or paste, but a very thin layer of glaze specially fired by highly skilled craftsmen.

Unfortunately, it was broken so completely that it can no longer be put back together.

Zhang Xueming's spiritual consciousness moved upwards, and he "discovered":

On the cliff next to the city gate, a young man, wrapped tightly in a sable cloak with a large black fur collar and gold embroidered patterns, was looking down at the place where the brides to be chosen were gathered.
