The small hall has become Zhang Xueming's home court.

With the three elders protecting him, not to mention that Gong Shangjiao didn't want to speak and make things difficult for himself, Gong Yuanzheng didn't even dare to continue to commit crimes and trip up Zhang Xueming just because of his unhappiness.

But Gong Yuanzheng's silence doesn't mean he will do nothing.

He stared at Zhang Xueming with burning eyes, holding the cup for a long time without taking a sip. Like a sunflower, he faced the light firmly. He would not take a sip until Zhang Xueming glanced at him, and then he would continue to stare.

After finishing his tea, he gently placed the cup in front of Zhang Xueming and waited for her to pour it for him. If she didn't pour it for him, he would pout and look at Zhang Xueming eagerly, completely disregarding his image.

Gong Shangjiao glared at him several times, but he pretended not to see it. Gong Shangjiao could only lower his eyes and ignore it. The corners of his mouth showed a bit of helplessness of an old father, out of sight, out of mind.

The three elders saw it and laughed in their hearts. They felt that the rumors were not entirely untrue: Gong Shangjiao was not cold-hearted and arrogant, and Gong Yuanzheng was not cold-blooded and cruel. It seemed that with the addition of Zhang Xueming, the two brothers had broken the unbearable image in the rumors and became flesh and blood, as if they were truly alive.

Of course, the elderly will not interfere in the affairs of young people. It is quite interesting to watch them fight the lawsuit in secret.

The two brothers remained silent, but the three elders were happily chatting with Zhang Xueming.

Zhang Xueming had a cheat in hand and had learned a lot. She had traveled all over the northern and southern parts of Dayan, killed the barbarians and Wufeng, and could steadily respond to whatever the old men said. The gold medal salesperson's habit of never letting the words fall through was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Occasionally, she would ask Elder Yue for medical advice, Elder Hua for forging techniques, and Elder Xue for swordsmanship. The examples she gave were specific and vivid, and the questions she asked were just right to scratch the old man's itch. She was also a good student. She could remember what she learned once, and it was not too easy to draw inferences from one example. This made the teacher feel particularly accomplished, and the audience also benefited a lot.

Gong Shangjiao was fine, as we had long known that she had a wide range of interests and hobbies, a strong learning ability, and mastered an astonishing number of skills.

This was the first time that Gong Yuanzheng had seen someone say "I know a little bit" while seeming to be able to handle any problem.

He listened with great interest, his puppy eyes shining frighteningly.

Gong Shangjiao had an illusion that the word "awesome" would pop out of Gong Yuanzheng's eyes at any time, and he would pounce on Zhang Xueming's face and hold on to it.

The teaching was very pleasant and the communication was quite enjoyable. If it weren’t for the bloating from drinking too much tea, the three elders would not have wanted to end the meeting.

This time, Gong Shangjiao didn't need to speak, Elder Yue took the initiative to invite Zhang Xueming to take the pulse of the old swordsman Gong Hongyu.

The words sound nice, but who can't see that he intends to use the old blade as a teaching prop to instruct the best successor in his mind on how to treat stroke patients?

The upright Elder Hua couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Elder Yue: So you are this kind of Old Yue. You said you were kind and soft-hearted, weren't you very close to Old Zhiren before? You also loved Gong Ziyu, the uneducated and dissolute boy, and you would always support Old Zhiren by saying that the boy was kind-hearted, kind and tolerant.

Elder Yue's eyes flickered, and he avoided his sight calmly, smiling without saying anything, but thinking in his heart: If the former young master Gong Huanyu really lost his power and Lao Zhiren's stepmother Ming Wuji really was bedridden due to the recurrence of an old illness, then he would still find an opportunity to take the little girl to see these two typical cases. Unfortunately, only Lao Zhiren's illness was real, ah~

Zhang Xueming declined politely, "I have received Grandpa Yue's kindness. I know this opportunity is rare, and Grandpa Yue really wants to teach me something. But I'd better not disturb Old Zhiren."

She "carefully" reminded: "Grandpa Yue, I'm just staying at the palace gate temporarily. Housework like this... well, it's not good if I know the secret."

The elders didn't take her suggestion of staying temporarily seriously.

Old Zhiren had mentioned to them not long ago that the Hunyuan Zheng family had received Wufeng's ultimatum. The father coaxed his daughter to come to the palace under the pretext of temporary residence, just to preserve the last bloodline of the family just in case.

Alas, even if the Hunyuan Zheng family can escape this disaster, it is probably seriously injured, and the head of the Zheng family will not come to pick up the little girl... So, choosing Gong Yuanzheng has its advantages. Only children understand the thoughts of children. With friends accompanying them, they won't be too sad if they can't go home.

"It's not a big deal. If you don't leave the palace today, you will know it sooner or later." Elder Yue smiled, still with a kind look on his face, and his tone of voice was still very gentle, but it made people feel inexplicably a sense of disobedience.

He also educated Zhang Xueming earnestly: "Zhao Zhao, it's wrong for you to think like this. Since we know that the opportunity is rare, how can we, as medical students, let it go easily? You have to think like this, if you learn a little more and gain more experience today, you may be able to save patients with the same disease tomorrow, and maybe more than one. Think about it yourself, isn't this the truth?"

Elder Hua did not pursue the root of his old friend's avoidance. If he wanted to say something, he would say it naturally. If he didn't want to say it, there was no point in forcing him.

He put aside his doubts and said with a smile, "Old Yue is right, Xiao Zhaozhao doesn't need to worry so much. Since Lao Zhiren was young, the Gongmen and the Zheng family have never stopped communicating. The Zheng family has always stood at the forefront of the fight against Wufeng. Lao Zhiren once praised Master Zheng as a man of iron in front of us. The friendship between Gongmen and the Zheng family for many years is not an exaggeration to say that they are 'friends of both factions'. Since your father is confident in letting you stay at Gongmen temporarily, he trusts us and truly regards us as a family. We are one family, so why should Xiao Zhaozhao be so reserved?"

Gong Yuanzheng scratched his right cheek in confusion. Strange, why does this sound so familiar?

Zhang Xueming couldn't help but glance at him. The palace's rhetoric was too monotonous, from the old to the young, they all spoke the same tune. Before, it was a friendship between the whole family, but now it has risen to a friendship between the whole faction.

Gong Shangjiao raised his eyes and glared at the two little ones. The elder is speaking, be quiet and listen carefully!

The elders pretended not to see anything.

Soon, the "persuaded" Zhang Xueming, led by Elder Yue, entered the side hall where the old master was. After getting the permission of the old master Gong Hongyu and taking his pulse, he followed Elder Yue back to the small hall.

Elder Xue first took Gong Shangjiao to the Elders' Council to get the succession documents.

Elder Hua wanted to wait for Elder Yue to speak in private, while Gong Yuanzheng wanted to wait for Zhang Xueming. The old and the young sat staring at each other for a while, but when they felt bored, they started talking about hidden weapons, and they did get along quite well.

Elder Deng Yue examined Zhang Xueming's pulse and the prescription he had written for the old man, and did not let the two younger ones go back.

The two elders went out to talk, leaving the two younger ones in the hall to continue drinking tea and chatting to kill time. After a while, Gong Shangjiao and Elder Xue came back, and the old Palace Master of Shang Palace, Gong Liushang, arrived. A simple ceremony of succession of the sword was to be carried out, and then a message was sent to all the strongholds.
