"...Ahem!!! Don't worry, he will be back in a few days."

"Sister Zishang, please don't lie to me. I know he's going to the trial, and I'm worried he's in danger. Can I go and accompany him?"

"Can't--"

"no--"

Gong Zishang and Jin Fan spoke up at the same time to stop them.

"How can an outsider go to the back hall?"

Jin Fan's blurt out of the word "outsider" made Yun Weishan's face change drastically, and instantly his face was filled with sadness.

"It's not outsiders, it's us idlers who are not allowed to go."

Gong Zishang hurried out to smooth things over.

"I...I'm just worried...is the trial dangerous?"

Jin Fan frowned and said nothing. He couldn't tell the other party what happened in the back mountain. Unexpectedly, the other party guessed it the next moment.

"It's dangerous, isn't it? I know you probably swore not to tell anyone, but when I ask, can you just nod or shake your head? Okay?"

Jin Fan nodded.

"It's dangerous... life-threatening, right?"

Jin Fan nodded.

"What will the first level be about? Strength? Intelligence? Martial arts skills..."

Jin Fan just shook his head. Finally, he couldn't bear to see the other party guessing any further, so he could only take two steps back, gather his luck and internal energy, wanting to show it directly.

"Guard Jin... Young Master Jiao wants you to go to the Jiao Palace."

Jin Fan immediately stopped practicing his skills and looked into the distance. He saw a man wearing the same guard uniform walking towards him.

"I wonder what Master Jiao wants to see me about?"

The man shook his head, but his eyes revealed urgency and confusion, which made Jin Fan even more confused.

"I'll go to the Corner Palace later."

"It's urgent. Please leave immediately."

Jin Fan looked at the guards, then turned back to look at Gong Zishang, and finally decided to go.

Jin Fan's actions were interrupted, and Yun Weishan felt a little annoyed as he had not yet received any information about the back mountain.

"Jin Fan, I'll go with you!"

"What did Miss Yun go there for? Did she want to listen to Master Jiao's arrangements, or did she want to arrange things for Guard Jin?"

The guard was not polite and started to confront the man directly.

"Jin Fu, although you are Gong Shangjiao's personal guard, she is the future Lady of the Blade, so you should speak with respect."

Jin Fu didn't say anything, but looked at Jin Fan. Jin Fan gave Gong Zishang a reassuring look and left with him.

After Jin Fan left, Gong Zishang became bored and looked at Yun Weishan.

"Miss Yun, do you want to go to Shang Palace for some fun?"

Shang Palace, where weapons and hidden weapons are manufactured, has very strict defenses. However, the truly high-end and powerful weapons are made by Gong Yuanzheng, which Shang Palace cannot compare to.

For example, the gunpowder of the Shang Palace is still sometimes effective and sometimes not, but Gong Yuanzheng not only successfully developed it, but also mixed it with poison and put it in his hidden weapon.

The gap between the two is not small.

"Forget it, I won't go."

Yun Weishan felt a little disappointed. Ever since she came to the palace, she had been frustrated everywhere. The matter in the back mountain had finally made some progress, but it was cut short again.

Seeing that the half-moon fly's deadline was already halfway over, she had to get information about the palace gate as soon as possible.

On the other side, Jin Fan followed Jin Fu to Jiao Palace, looked at Gong Shangjiao who was sipping tea with a calm expression, and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Horn!"

Gong Shangjiao ignored it and added a small piece of dendrobium into the boiling teapot.

"Jin Fu, continue monitoring. If necessary, send Gong Zishang away. Hmm... just say the elders are looking for her. Go!"

Jin Fan's body tensed up and he even took a step back.

"You are monitoring Yu Gong... No, you are monitoring Miss Yun..."

Gong Shangjiao raised the corner of his lips strangely, his eyes full of teasing...

Afterwards, when Yun Weishan went to Yu Palace again, he did not find Jin Fan, nor did he learn about his whereabouts. He had no choice but to go to Shang Palace to find Gong Zishang.

In Gong Zishang's bedroom, there is a huge wooden sculpture with a mechanism. There is a hole for a mechanism at each acupuncture point on the body. The surrounding area is full of materials used for weapon research. It is a mess and everywhere.

"Sister Zishang, do you know where Jin Fan went?"

"Where to go? Gong Ziyu is not here, so he can only stay in Yu Palace. Where else can he go?"

Gong Zishang added ore to the pot with excitement, stirring it while shaking his head.

"Sister Zishang, I've asked around, but no one in Yu Palace knows anything. It's said that Jin Fan went to Jiao Palace yesterday and hasn't come back since."

"What? Jin Fan is missing?"

Bang! ! !

When Gong Zishang got excited, her subordinates lost their composure and a cloud of black smoke accompanied by sparks exploded in front of her.

Cough cough cough! ! !

His face and body were covered with smoke and dust, as if he had just come out of a coal pile. Gong Zishang was choked and coughed non-stop, but he had not forgotten about Jin Fan.

"With Jin Fan's skills, how could he suddenly disappear? No, I have to go to Jiao Gong to ask."

After saying that, Gong Zishang was about to walk out, but was stopped by Yun Weishan, who pointed at her current appearance.

"You're going this way?"

Gong Zishang raised his hand, which was so black that the color could not be seen, and smiled...

"Gong Shangjiao, come out..."

In the corner palace, guards tried to stop them all the way, but no one dared to actually take action, so Gong Zishang was allowed to break in.

Gong Shangjiao heard the sound, came outside the hall, and looked at the two people who broke in gently.

"Gong Shangjiao, tell me... where did you hide Jin Fan..."

Gong Zishang, who had been arrogant all the way, couldn't help but lose his breath and his voice became smaller and smaller after seeing Gong Shangjiao's cold face.

"Oh! You mean Jin Fan? He's not here with me!"

"You fart..."

He swallowed the last word in the end, Gong Zishang said hatefully.

"I asked, no one saw him leave your place, and no one saw him return to Yugong. Did you do something to him?"

Yun Weishan just watched from the side without arguing. At this time, Gong Yuanzheng also walked out of the hall.

"You can go to the Elders' Council and ask. Perhaps he was called away by the elders!"

Gong Yuanzheng crossed his arms over his chest and looked down with amusement. When he saw Gong Zishang glaring at him, he smiled mischievously.

"Okay, I'll ask. Just wait for me."

After saying that, he swung his sleeves, pulled Yun Weishan away aggressively.

"The big dead fish face and the small dead fish eyes are both so annoying."

After the two of them left the Jiao Palace, Gong Zishang complained all the way and Yun Weishan couldn't even get a word in. As the road became more and more familiar, he realized that they were heading back to the Shang Palace.

"Sister Zishang, aren't we going to the Elders' Council? Why are we back to the Shang Palace?"

"When did I say I was going to the Elders' Council? No."

The last time she went to the Elders' House, she was completely exhausted before she came out. She was scared just thinking about it.

"Not going? Then we won't save Jin Fan?"

Yun Weishan's eyes were dark and his face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, the palace is not a place for indiscriminate killing, and they won't use torture privately. When Gong Ziyu comes out of the trial, he will naturally appear... Woo woo woo! But, I haven't seen him recently."

Gong Zishang pretended to wipe away her tears and walked quickly forward, leaving Yun Weishan behind.

In the Corner Palace

As soon as Gong Zishang and Yun Weishan left, the two returned to the hall and sat opposite each other.
