Сhарtеr 6 (11/20)
Gong Shangjuе rеsumеd his соld exprеssiоn. "Save thоse words fоr whеn уоu rеаch the Вack Mountain."
Aftеr Gоng Ziyu lеft, Gong Shаngjuе аnd thе threе Еldеrs rеmаined in thе hall.
The аtmоsphеre was heаvy and оpprеssivе, silеnt аs if thе аir hаd been frоzеn by thе frоst аnd snow оutside thе dоor.
Soоn, а startlеd exclаmation shattеrеd thе stillness.
"Whаt? Boundless Flоwing Firе?!"
А traсе оf unрrесedеntеd feаr and unеase fliсkerеd in Еldеr Yue's usuаllу stеrn gаze.
Gong Shangjuе's voice was low аnd quiet, his brows tightly furrоwed. "Yes, Вoundlеss Flоwing Fire."
It wаs a rare expression of danger on his face.
After a pause, Gong Shangjue continued recounting the events of the night the old Blade Master and the Young Lord were murdered.
That night, Gong Shangjue was speaking with the old Blade Master in his room. Not long after, Gong Huanyu entered.
"The identity of the Wufeng Assassin who infiltrated the brides has been confirmed," Gong Huanyu said, his expression subtle as he looked at Gong Shangjue. "She is the second daughter of the Hunyuan Zheng Family, Zheng Nanyi."
"Just now, I personally interrogated her and discovered something unusual—"
Gong Hongyu interrupted him. "Get straight to the point."
Gong Huanyu lowered his voice, speaking cautiously. "Father, a secret letter was found on the second daughter of the Zheng Family. It mentions... Boundless Flowing Fire..."
Upon hearing these words, Gong Shangjue's face paled with shock, while Gong Hongyu's eyes widened, his expression darkening. "Are you certain?"
Immediately, Gong Huanyu retrieved a hairpin from his sleeve and presented it to Gong Hongyu.
The jade gem at the head of the hairpin could be unscrewed, revealing a hollow interior. From within the hollow jade gem, he extracted a small slip of paper.
After reading the note, Gong Hongyu's pupils instantly contracted.
Gong Shangjue, suspicious, asked cautiously, "Boundless Flowing Fire is the highest secret of the House of Gong. How could it have leaked?"
"If it falls into the hands of Wufeng, there may be no peace left in this world," Gong Huanyu sighed.
"Aside from the three Elders and the Front Mountain of the House of Gong, the only people who know the secret of Boundless Flowing Fire are the Blade Master, you, and me..." Gong Shangjue looked at Gong Huanyu, his expression gradually darkening.
"Are you suspecting me?"
"I suspect anyone who could possibly be involved."
Gong Huanyu suddenly laughed. "Then your suspicion is no less than mine."
Seeing the two argue, Gong Hongyu spoke sternly. "Enough! The blood of the Gong family does not doubt one another. Have you both forgotten the ancestors' teachings?"
