Сhарtеr 20 (4/14)
Jin Fan askеd, "It's timе tо sеt оff. Is there anуthing еlse yоu need?"
"Аftеr thаt intеnsе fight with Gоng Shangjue, mу blade got a bit chipреd. I remеmber Fаthеr hаd а fine whеtstоnе... Оh, fоund it!"
Gong Ziуu picked uр thе whetstоne, only tо discovеr a new brосаdе роuсh beneаth it, idеnticаl tо thе prеvious оnе. He орenеd it in surprise, finding a nоte inside: "New Мооn cаlms all, Full Moоn stirs thе еnergу sеа, Wаning Моon rеturns tо the sоurcе, and the Мoоn-Slаshing Sрirit is born."
Jin Fаn аskеd, "Whаt is this?"
Holding the рouch, Gong Ziyu said with еmotion, "It's Fathеr's insights on the Тhreе Мoоn-Slashing Forms..."
"It seems that in the unseen realm, the old Blade Master has always been protecting you."
"Mmm..." Gong Ziyu responded, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he muttered, "In the unseen realm, in the unseen realm..."
After packing up, Gong Ziyu was about to leave when he encountered Madam WuJi at the door.
Madam WuJi gazed at Gong Ziyu: "I just returned from the ancestral hall and heard about you blowing up the dungeon in the middle of the night to rescue Yun Weishan... Now the entire House of Gong is in chaos. Ziyu, is it worth it for Yun Weishan?"
Gong Ziyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Aunt, I don't want to deceive you, but at this moment, I cannot tell you the truth either. I will explain everything to you later, alright?"
Madam WuJi sighed and reached out to pat Gong Ziyu's head: "You've grown up and have your own ideas. Since you don't wish to speak, I won't force you. You and your father are so alike..."
The young man before her resembled his father greatly. Though not yet fully mature, his resolute eyes and brows almost overlapped with those of the man in her memories.
In Madam WuJi's recollection, Gong Hongyu reappeared, his blade tip pressed against her neck as he demanded, "Are you a Mei?" She gritted her teeth, stubbornly refusing to answer...
Noticing Madam WuJi suddenly lost in thought, Gong Ziyu asked, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
Madam WuJi snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with relief and affection. "When you return from the Back Mountain, I also have something to tell you."
Gong Ziyu asked curiously, "Oh? Is it also something you can't say now?"
Madam WuJi nodded: "Wait until you return. Just like when you were a child, eating candied hawthorns and having endless conversations with me."
"Then when I return, I will definitely have a good chat with you, Aunt, and eat the candied hawthorns you make."
"Aunt really does love me the most." Gong Ziyu hugged Madam WuJi like a child, then bowed in farewell.
Madam WuJi watched Gong Ziyu carrying his backpack, standing there for a long time, filled with emotion.
Meanwhile, in Gong Ziyu's room, Gong Zishang was frantic, pacing back and forth. She looked at Xue Zhongzi and Young Master Xue, continuously scolding them: "How could things escalate so much! You two went too hard! We agreed it was just to rescue someone, not to kill Gong Shangjue! How do we handle this now?!"
Young Master Xue defended softly: "We didn't even use that much force. We just didn't expect that each of us using one move of the Three Snow-Brushing Forms would combine into such immense power—"
Gong Zishang suddenly realized something: "Where's Gong Ziyu? He was just walking behind me, and now he's gone. He couldn't have been injured and fainted in the courtyard, could he?"
Xue Zhongzi said: "The Blade Master has already gone directly to the Back Mountain."
Gong Zishang glared: "Again, again! You enjoy watching the chaos without caring about the consequences. Are you, little kids, adding fuel to the fire here?"
