Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Early the next morning, Xue Zhongzi told Jiang Xinxin: "The Blade Master and the Young Master were assassinated last night. Now Gong Ziyu of Yu Palace has become the new Blade Master according to the rules of the palace."

Jiang Xinxin didn't know how to react for a moment. These things had nothing to do with her.

Xue Zhongzi frowned and explained, "But Gong Ziyu really got the position of the Blade Master by chance. I'm afraid Gong Shangjiao, who is the most capable among his peers, will not accept it. Moreover, the Blade Master and the Young Master both died of poisoning. Gong Ziyu directly suspected Gong Yuanzheng and wanted to throw Gong Yuanzheng into the dungeon for interrogation."

Although Jiang Xinxin felt that the mastermind behind the incident was obviously not Gong Yuanzheng, she also felt that it was not unreasonable for Gong Ziyu to simply send the person to the dungeon, but if he interrogated him, that would be really wrong.

Sure enough, Master Xue took over the conversation and said, "Everyone in the palace knows that Gong Yuanzheng is Gong Shangjiao's weak spot. Gong Ziyu took advantage of Gong Shangjiao's absence to take over. If Gong Yuanzheng is tortured without any reason, I'm afraid Gong Shangjiao will turn the front mountain upside down after he returns."

Jiang Xinxin directly asked her question: "Why is Gong Shangjiao, who has the best ability, deprived of the qualification to succeed the sword just because he is away?"

Xue Chongzi said: "There is a rule in the succession rules of the Palace Gate Master: The Palace Gate cannot be without a master for a day. In other words, when the previous Master dies, the Young Master will immediately inherit the position of Master. If the Young Master dies with the Master, the vacant succession system will be activated."

"It means that the adult disciples who have passed the trials in the palace will be substituted in one time. Gong Shangjiao is the only adult disciple who has passed the trials besides the young master, but he is not lucky and is not in the palace, so Gong Ziyu has to be the substitute. Even though Gong Ziyu did not participate in the trials, the fact that he is an adult and in the palace is enough for him to succeed..."

Jiang Xinxin felt that the rule of "at the palace gate" was obviously meant to trap Jiao Palace, because Jiao Palace was the department responsible for handling the palace's external relations and making money, and needed to be out and about all year round. This was not a good thing, so Master Jiao went out, and everyone saw the result. He lost his position as the wielder of the sword because of such a ridiculous rule, and Jiang Xinxin really didn't know what to say.

However, these things had little to do with Jiang Xinxin, so she just listened and let it go.

However, there are some things that Jiang Xinxin is happy to remind: "The palace gate itself is hidden, and even Wufeng took a long time to find this Old Dust Valley, which shows that many of the palace gate's rules are useful."

"But now the palace gate has been exposed to Wufeng's eyes, and Wufeng's spies have even successfully lurked inside the palace gate twenty years ago. You must know that the best way to defeat a force that looks powerful from the outside is to break it from the inside. And because of the matter of choosing the blade this time, Yugong and Jiaogong and Zhenggong are already clearly in opposition, and the future of the palace gate is really hard to say."

Xue Zhongzi and Master Xue were also worried about this, but Master Xue didn't know what he was thinking, and some words came out of his mouth: "Master Ke Jiao has always been very righteous. Even if he is really dissatisfied with Master Yu becoming the Blade Master, under the persuasion of the elders, he should not make trouble to the point of alienation among the three palaces."

Jiang Xinxin was stunned when she heard this. She really didn't expect that Mr. Xue could say such a thing!

"Oh my god, do you want to listen to what you just said?!"

"Just because Gong Shangjiao is more righteous, you guys are bullying him?"

"But you have to know that he is such a smart man, he must know that you are overly partial to Gong Ziyu behind his back. If you hurt Gong Shangjiao's heart, he might leave the palace with Gong Yuanzheng one day and establish his own independence."

"Both Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng are capable of making a career on their own, but if Gongmen were to leave Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng, the consequences would be disastrous."

"The most important thing is that you clearly know that you have wronged Gong Shangjiao too much, but you still want to be partial to others. Not only are you not upright, but you are also too shameless..."

Jiang Xinxin's words were so impolite that Xue Chongzi blushed and Xue Gongzi also felt very ashamed.

Originally, Master Xue wanted to say that the elders had more pity on Gong Ziyu because his parents and brothers had passed away. But after hearing what Jiang Xinxin said, he remembered that the palace gate was invaded by Wufeng ten years ago, and Gong Shangjiao's parents, brothers and Gong Yuanzheng's father had also died in that accident.

It’s just that the losses in the front and back mountains were quite serious at that time, so the brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng did not seem so pitiful.

Master Xue stood up with red eyes and walked out: "I'll go tell dad that we really can't bully an honest man like Gong Shangjiao."

Xue Chongzi also agreed. Gong Ziyu and Gong Shangjiao were both descendants of the palace. They could sympathize with Gong Ziyu for losing his father and brother in a short period of time, but they could not break some rules for Gong Ziyu. Otherwise, as Jiang Xinxin said, once Gong Shangjiao was unwilling to compromise for the palace, they would really become sinners of the palace.

Young Master Xue arrived in time and told Elder Xue what he heard from Jiang Xinxin and his own thoughts. Elder Xue felt that Gong Shangjiao had indeed been overly wronged in all these years in terms of the young master's affairs and in sending Gong Ziyu to the position of swordsman, so he assured Young Master Xue that he would not continue to favor Gong Ziyu, and would not continue to break the palace rules for Gong Ziyu.

The Moon Palace in the back mountain is also known for its medical skills, so when Elder Xue wants to send people to cut wood, he first has to inform the Moon Palace and ask them to prepare enough medicine to prevent miasma.

Elder Yue is an old man who is even more soft-hearted than Elder Xue. Even when Young Master Yue fell in love with a spy sent by Wu Feng to steal medicine, he only helped to conceal it and even personally helped Young Master Yue to make the spy fake his death and escape.

Therefore, he is the person who pities and favors Gong Ziyu the most in the back mountain.

But Elder Xue also said that Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng both lost their parents when they were young, and the two brothers were able to take on the responsibility of a palace at such a young age. They should not always ignore the hardships others have endured just because they are too capable.

Although Elder Yue took these words to heart, he still did not give in in supporting Gong Shangjiao in wielding the sword.

"Brother, it's not that I ignore the efforts of Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng for Gongmen, but Gongmen should play it safe at this time. Since the change of the blade position has been notified, we'd better not make any more changes in the short term, otherwise it will easily leave too many opportunities for Wufeng."

Elder Xue also felt that this made some sense, but she still advised Elder Yue: "But from now on we can't continue to ignore the palace rules for Gong Ziyu, otherwise we will really be slapping ourselves in the face."

Elder Yue nodded in agreement, and the two of them focused their attention on ventilating the valley and began to get busy, actually forgetting about Gong Ziyu's new blade.
