After pondering for a moment, Gong Shangjiao decisively summoned a guard from outside. Once the guard entered the room, Gong Shangjiao immediately instructed him to check if there was a mark on the back of Shangguan Qian's neck and to confirm whether it was related to the Gushan Sect.
After careful examination, the guard confirmed that the mark on Shangguan Qian's neck was indeed from the Gushan Sect, and that it was undoubtedly a unique symbol of the sect. While Gongmen bore significant responsibility for the tragedy that befell the Gushan Sect years ago, this did not mean he would easily believe the person before him. After all, the truth still needed further investigation and verification.
After careful consideration, Gong Shangjiao decided to temporarily imprison Shangguan Qian in a room near the dungeon, and assigned several highly skilled guards and maids to watch over her.
Forbidding people from going out is a disguised way of locking them up. Although they know she is Wufeng's assassin, they cannot tell them that they heard it in Gong Ruanruan's inner voice.
Besides, keeping them around is still useful, since they don't know where Wu Feng is hiding, and they'll need someone to help relay messages. There are currently three Wu Feng assassins in the palace. Ming Wu Ji and Gong Huan Yu are unlikely to self-destruct in front of them, nor would they cooperate with them. That leaves only Yun Wei Shan and Shangguan Qian.
If they are wise enough, they might be able to save their lives, but if they are ungrateful, they have no one to blame but themselves.
"Brother, do you think it's true or false that she said she's the last descendant of the Lonely Mountain Sect?" It's an undeniable fact that he's the Wufeng Assassin, but the Lonely Mountain Sect is another story. Besides, there's another Lonely Mountain Sect descendant in their palace who's pretending to be dead.
Gong Shangjiao took a sip of tea, his eyes remaining completely unmoved, and simply replied, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Whether it was true or not was completely unimportant to him. If he didn't need her, Shangguan Qian would already be dead. Those without ambition deserve to die.
Even if she really is the last descendant of the Lonely Mountain Sect, it doesn't change the fact that she is a member of the Wufeng Sect. So what if she has no choice in the matter? Who hasn't stained their hands with blood after entering the Wufeng Sect? He's not a three-year-old child; he doesn't believe such nonsense.
"Meow~~" [You guys are incredibly fast! You caught Shangguan Qian so quickly. She really is the last surviving member of the Lonely Mountain Sect, and you're not lying about that. After all, there's no need for her to lie about that.]
Speaking of which, Gong Huanyu and she are related by blood, at least as cousins. These two are ruthless, one capable of killing her adoptive father who raised her for so many years, though she ultimately failed. Plus, Gong Hongyu isn't exactly a good person either; when he gets ruthless, he's willing to give up everything and is incredibly patient.
[But I'm curious? Both the leader of Wufeng and Gong Hongyu were poisoned by Songxianchen. Isn't this kind of poison supposed to kill someone with a heart rate of 200 beats per minute? How did the leader of Wufeng manage to hold on so long? Or is it that evil lives on for a thousand years? It's amazing that he survived until the antidote returned.]
I have no idea...
【Whoa!】 The sudden sound startled Gong Ruanruan. Xiao Kou hadn't been online much lately and was usually as quiet as if he were dead. Today, he gave her quite a fright.
[Xiao Kou! You never come out unless I call you desperately, why did you suddenly have a change of heart today?] She remembered perfectly clearly that you said you were overjoyed to see her, and all you said was how wonderful she was.
Not long after, meeting an online love interest felt like being kidnapped by human traffickers, with no news of them whatsoever.
"My partner's been too busy lately, and there are still several targets to meet. It's not that I don't want to come out, it's just that nothing's happening here, and you guys are living much better lives than me. If I come out, there's nothing I can talk to you about." The slime stretched out its two tiny hands, revealing an innocent and pitiful look.
【Oh, right, there's something extremely important I need to tell you!】 And it can imagine that if it didn't tell you this, the days that followed might be... no, no, no, definitely not easy, but what can you do when every animal has this?
Gong Ruanruan blinked, her heart filled with curiosity. She thought about it for a moment, just a moment, what could possibly make Xiao Kou talk so much? [Tell me quickly! Stop keeping me in suspense! What is it?]
"An'an, as you know, animals generally have breeding seasons. Cats usually breed in spring and autumn (I'm not sure how accurate that is, I found it online), but I'm not sure exactly when."
But I can guarantee it will be before winter arrives.
"Of course, you said it's spring and autumn. Many animals hibernate in winter." Gong Ruanruan remained remarkably calm about entering her breeding season, showing no particular emotional fluctuation. She thought to herself: It's just having a baby, right?
She scanned all the free items; they had everything. It would have been even better if there was something that helped a boy conceive.
【Alright, alright, I know, this is none of your business, you can leave now.】 Now it was Little Kou's turn to be dumbfounded. This was different from what it had heard from its senior. Not a single shy expression? (? ???ω??? ?)?. The key point is, not even a tiny bit.
When Xiao Kou left, it was still in a daze, flapping its two little wings and huffing and puffing as it flew to find someone.
