"Could it be that you are martial artists?"

The two of them quickly let go of their hands and laughed. Shangguan Qian chuckled, but it was a forced laugh.

"How could that be? I've always been weak, as you know. How could I possibly go and practice martial arts? But it's getting late, and I'm tired of sitting, so I won't bother you anymore."

Jiu Ning reached out and grabbed Shangguan Qian, refusing to let go no matter what.

"You've only been here for a short time. You should sit down for a while longer."

"We'll come back another day."

Yun Weishan also tried to persuade them, and Jiu Ning let them go and sent them out the door.

She returned to the living room, sat in her original seat, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"What a pity, Gong Yuanzheng is injured and can't drink."

Not everyone can drink her tea, so just wait and see!

Not to mention Jiu Ning, Shangguan Qian left the Zheng Palace and did not return to the guest house, but went to the clinic. At this time, her internal energy was running wild, but she still had things to do, so she had to endure it and suppress her internal energy first.

After entering the clinic, he first found a random doctor and was prescribed some very cold herbs. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gong Yuanzheng basking in the sun in the yard.

"Master Zheng, I heard you were injured yesterday. Are you feeling better?"

Hearing unfamiliar footsteps, Gong Yuanzheng opened his eyes, put the medical record covering his body aside, and stood up.

"Oh! Miss Shangguan, who told you that?"

"I hear..." Shangguan Qian pointed to the location of Zheng Gong, but hid her hand halfway.

"No, the servants' rumors are not credible."

After seeing Gong Yuanzheng's suspicious look, he said goodbye and left, but the moment he turned around, he pounced on Gong Yuanzheng.

Just as he was about to pounce on Gong Yuanzheng, he took a step back and dodged it, without even trying to reach out to help.

bang——

Shangguan Qian lay straight on the ground, looking up at the person in front of him with resentment.

Gong Yuanzheng took a step back, and then another step back, and finally, he brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.

"Miss Shangguan, are you okay? I need to find a doctor to check you out. You're too weak. How are you going to give birth to children for your brother in the future?"

Shangguan Qian was filled with hatred, but she gritted her teeth and endured, not only the other party's venomous tongue, but also the chaotic internal force.

"Once we get married, we will be a family. It's right for Mr. Zheng to avoid suspicion."

"Who is your family?"

Gong Yuanzheng's face was full of displeasure, but Shangguan Qian was still lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up, which could easily lead to misunderstanding.

"Miss Shangguan, you'd better get up. It's not proper to lie on the ground like this."

Shangguan Qian frowned in embarrassment and gently moved his leg bones, and then a hissing sound was heard.

"I think I twisted my ankle, but it's not serious. Could you lend me a hand, Master Zheng?"

"It's really troublesome—"

Gong Yuanzheng impatiently handed over his sleeve. Shangguan Qian smiled, pulled it, and stood up with the help of the other person, but was about to fall down again the next moment.

"oops!"

Gong Yuanzheng wanted to hide, but his sleeve was pulled by the other party and he was still approached by him. Fortunately, he immediately regained his balance.

"Thank you, Master Zheng... I will be leaving now."

Watching Shangguan Qian limping away, Gong Yuanzheng didn't realize what the other party was going to do. Was she really just coming to say hello?

Suspiciously, he called the doctor from the clinic and asked him about Shangguan Qian's purpose.

She also took out the medical record and looked at some of the medicinal herbs prescribed by the other party, which made her even more confused. Why were they all very cold things? If a woman ate too much, it might be difficult for her to conceive.

Are you trying to slander him?

The back mountain, the place of trial, is covered with snow all year round. It is completely different from the front mountain. Gong Ziyu, who has been afraid of cold since childhood, has an extremely difficult life here.

"Sir, are you still going to get off?"

Jin Fan looked very impatient. He shouldn't have come to the back mountain. He came out of the back mountain and made a vow when he came out that he would not reveal the things about the back mountain and he would never go back to the back mountain.

If Gong Shangjiao had not interceded for him this time, he would have been allowed to protect Gong Ziyu as a Green Jade Guard, on the condition that he would not interfere with the trial.

Guards were not allowed to interfere with the trial, and he knew the rules, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Don't talk, I'm just getting ready!"

"I really want to push you down so I can find someone else to serve you."

"You, you, you've wanted to do this for a long time!"

Jin Fan rolled his eyes, and Gong Ziyu simply left the cold pool and retreated directly.

Jin Fan was even more speechless. The cold pool was indeed cold, so cold that it could freeze the blood and heartbeat.

The first level of the test is to take out a box from the bottom of the cold pond, which is considered a success.

Although it was cold, there was no need to try, so I just watched it for a few days! Really, he was tired just looking at it.

"Give me a day, I'll figure it out."

"Hey! That's what you said yesterday. Don't forget, when Gong Shangjiao was fourteen, he passed the first level in just twelve days."

"He, he, he's a pervert. How can I compare with him?"

"Whatever you want! It's not me who's embarrassed anyway."

Gong Ziyu stared at the cold pool. His originally heavy mood was relaxed a lot by Jin Fan's teasing words, but he still didn't know how to dive down.

He had tried it on the first day he came here, and he almost died in there. Fortunately, Master Xue saved him. I don’t know how Gong Shangjiao got through this level back then...

In the guesthouse in the front mountain, Yun Weishan's face was pale, and he covered his stomach with one hand. He came back anxiously from outside, went straight to Shangguan Qian's room, and grabbed Shangguan Qian's collar.

"Are you crazy? How dare you steal Gong Yuanzheng's weapon bag?"

Shangguan Qian used force to knock away Yun Weishan's hand that was holding her, and gently adjusted her collar. Her physical discomfort made her weak and she quickly sat down to talk.

"Why, do you have a better idea? Don't forget, the Half Moon Fly's deadline is approaching. If we don't get the antidote, you and I will both die."

"But if you do this, we'll die now. You know, there are people watching us in the guest house, huh~"

Yun Weishan couldn't bear it any longer, groaned, and fell to the ground.

"Why did Jiang Jiuning give us that tea? What was her purpose?"

"Just be content! This tea is indeed improving my internal strength. It is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts. I just didn't expect that the palace gate would have such a powerful thing."

The two of them could only hold on and couldn't even use their internal energy. They couldn't help but feel sorry for it. At this moment, they just hoped that this internal energy would dissipate quickly.

"Is it really just to show off to us?"

The two of them had no time to worry about it, nor did they have the energy to think about anything else, because another internal force surged up in their bodies.

"Someone, search for me—"

"Yes--"

In the yard, Gong Yuanzheng's angry voice and the voices of the guards were heard.

"Where is Shangguan Qian's room? Mother Fu, take me there."
