Elder Hua: !!! My goodness, what is this thing that is so magical!

Hua Gong is mainly responsible for forging weapons in the back mountain, and also bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the Boundless Flowing Fire. Elder Hua has always been worried about whether his son can shoulder this responsibility.

But there was nothing he could do; Playboy was his only son, and no one else could replace him.

Elder Hua's eyes seemed to be shining, so bright that Gong Ziyu had to shield them with his hand. He spoke to Gong Ziyu in a gentler tone than usual, "Ziyu, could you please have the elder examine that iron thing?"

Elder Xue: Eek~yue~, where did this monster come from, that it can make Elder Hua make such a sound.

Actually, it's not surprising that they all think this way. It's mainly because Elder Hua's personality has been deeply ingrained in their minds. Elder Hua has a fiery temper and is straightforward. He says whatever he wants without considering anything else. Of course, in certain situations, it's better to remain silent.

His words sent chills down Gong Ziyu's spine. He turned and hid behind Gong Shangjiao. But then he realized that this thing was given to him by Gong Yuanzheng, and now he was returning it to Gong Shangjiao.

The two brothers wouldn't share these things. Gong Ziyu turned around and forcefully stuffed the magnet in his hand into Gong Shangjiao's arms, saying solemnly, "Young Master, this magnet was given to me by Yuanzheng. Please return it to Yuanzheng."

After saying that, Gong Ziyu shrank back like a quail that had just hatched from a quail egg, his whole body practically screaming, "You can't see me, you can't see me!"

Elder Hua, disregarding whose possession the magnet was, brazenly approached Gong Shangjiao, about to speak, when Gong Shangjiao interrupted him, "Elder Hua, this magnet belongs to Yuanzheng's brother, and I have no right to interfere. However, Young Master Hua stole it without Yuanzheng's consent."

This whole mess is going to lead to a distant expedition, and as the older brother, it's not really my place to get involved, is it?"

"That makes sense. Let's go find Yuanzheng first." Elder Hua thought Gong Shangjiao was right. After all, this thing belonged to Gong Yuanzheng, and his son had taken it without permission. He should at least go and apologize.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Hua dragged Young Master Hua and Gong Shangjiao to the front mountain, leaving behind a few people who hadn't said a word, silently watching their departing figures, wondering what the point of their coming along was.

Especially Young Master Xue; it was he who brought Young Master Hua to the Snow Palace. If he hadn't gone to the Snow Palace, he wouldn't have known about magnets, and without knowing about magnets, he wouldn't have had the audacity to try and steal them to take home.

Then things wouldn't be like this now. Xue Zhongzi noticed that Xue Gongzi was unconsciously rubbing his hands and knew what he was thinking. "A Xue, let's go back. This has nothing to do with you."

Yukiko spoke very softly for the second half of her sentence, so that only the two of them could hear her clearly.

Young Master Xue was stunned for a moment, then could only nod and follow Xue Chongzi back to the Snow Palace. The rest of the people returned to where they came from, except for Gong Ziyu, who stood there blankly, unsure whether to go back to the front mountain or back to the Snow Palace.

Fortunately, Jin Mu came to the Snow Palace and took the person away. Jin Mu was not in the Snow Palace this morning. He came back to rescue the person. Doing this job is really hard. I don't know how Jin Fan endured it.

Inside the palace, Gong Ruanruan dozed off for a while before waking up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Gong Yuanzheng standing in front of her on the soft couch. If he had been like this in the middle of the night, it would have probably given Gong Ruanruan a fright. Gong Ruanruan squinted, then blinked again, looking at Gong Yuanzheng and softly called out, "Good afternoon, brother~"

Gong Ruanruan deliberately dragged out the last syllable; even she herself was confused, so how could she not bewitch you and this little puppy? 【Hehe! With a voice like mine, you'd be completely mesmerized.】

Gong Yuanzheng: ...
