Gong Shangjiao thought to himself, "The Ghost Festival is just around the corner." Yun Weishan had said that as soon as they left the palace gates, someone would come to meet them. Aside from Gong Ziyu, who was always running outside, there was no one else inside the palace gates.
Besides, Yuanzheng's younger brother has never left the palace. He has been wandering outside the palace for many years. If those people see him with them, the people who come to join him probably won't easily expose themselves. But Gong Ziyu is different. He likes to bring people from Wanhualou with him all year round. Even if he doesn't come out for a while and then reappears, it won't arouse suspicion.
After all, their intelligence and abilities are undeniable. Right now, it seems only Gong Ziyu is truly useful. The problem is, in almost half a month, Gong Ziyu has only gone down a handful of times.
At this slow pace, it's practically impossible for Gong Ziyu to pass smoothly at this point. Moreover, leaving the back mountain during the trial means voluntarily giving up the qualification for the trial, which is a bit troublesome. Gong Shangjiao's gaze shifted to his younger brother beside him.
The two brothers had the same thought: he was completely unfamiliar with Old Dust Valley, and besides, he was going to take Yun Weishan out with him. It was definitely not enough for just the two of them to be alone. Those people from Wufeng also had a tiny bit of intelligence in their heads.
"My brother on the expedition..."
"elder brother……"
The two called out each other's names at the same time, their hesitant expressions making Gong Ruanruan, who was sitting in front of them, look left and right. [What's going on?]
“My brother Yuanzheng probably had the same thought as me, but Gong Ziyu is still undergoing trials in the back mountain and probably won’t be back for a while.” Gong Ziyu’s strength is indeed worrying. Judging from his current state, he may not be able to pass the trial smoothly even when Wufeng is defeated.
Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head slightly, his eyes darting around in their sockets. Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into his head: "Brother, let me go help Brother Ziyu!"
That good-for-nothing Gong Ziyu! It's been half a month and he still hasn't gone swimming much. It's a good opportunity for him to go to the back mountain and keep an eye on Gong Ziyu. He can also pick some snow lotus from the Snow Palace to try. He's also noticed that Ruan Ruan is always very sleepy lately.
Normally she would just close her eyes and pretend to sleep, but she was sleeping so soundly like this, that no amount of noise could wake her up.
"My brother Yuanzheng probably had the same thought as me, but Gong Ziyu is still undergoing trials in the back mountain and probably won't be back for a while."
[Little Kou, come help!] Hearing their conversation, Gong Ruanruan mentally summoned the missing 'Slime'. It had been quite a while since she'd heard its voice. She'd been incredibly bored lately, spending her days either eating or sleeping, or eating and then sleeping.
If this continues, she'll start to wonder if she's turning into a pig. She still wants to see the kid, and thinking about it, it's pitiful that the original adult form was so incredibly handsome. In the end, what was released was indeed 'incredibly handsome'!
【Coming~~, coming~~】 Little Kou finally emerged weakly from who-knows-where. Its feeble voice made Gong Ruanruan wonder if it had failed to steal a kidney, but then she thought, who would be so bold as to steal a system?
It's still a slime-like system, and whether it contains kidneys is still unknown.
Out of humanitarian concern, Gong Ruanruan was still very interested in this slime. [What's wrong with you?]
Don't even mention it! Lately, the main system has been making every department submit a plan for future career development, and it requires a PowerPoint presentation of at least 50,000 words with graphics. They even went so far as to make sure it's fair and impartial by requiring all departments to submit a copy.
Have the department's senior management choose the best one and send it up. During this time, other systems not only have to constantly monitor their hosts, but also complete the project plan within the stipulated time. Luckily, I, Xiao Kou, am different. An'an, hurry up and tell me what's up! My PPT is already 40,000 words long!
Hearing Xiao Kou's words, Gong Ruanruan fell silent for the first time. Had this guy completely lost his mind, leaving only nonsense inside?! What kind of kind person would ask someone to create a 50,000-word PPT, especially one with pictures and text?
If she were to write a thousand words on this, it would be quite an achievement. For a moment, Gong Ruanruan felt sorry for Xiao Kou.
Do you have magnets in the store?
"Oh, is that all?" Xiao Kou quickly found a magnet in the mall using the employee entrance. It was quite large, about the size of two bouncy balls. Xiao Kou simply swiped over it and extracted the magnet.
[I've extracted the magnet. I'll log off now.]
Before Gong Ruanruan could finish saying the two words, she already felt Xiao Kou go offline. That was really fast.
At this moment, Gong Ruanruan secretly rejoiced: [Hahaha! I'm so smart! The thing hidden at the bottom of this icy pool is made of iron. This thing is the essential equipment to suck it up. Little Blackie, let Ruanruan teach you what it means to have luck as part of your strength!] Gong Ruanruan laughed wildly in her heart, almost uttering the epithet of a villain.
'Magnet? What's that? I've never heard of it before?' Three questions in a row. Gong Yuanzheng racked his brains, trying to recall what it was, and made sure he really had never heard of or seen the word before.
After thinking about it, he realized it was quite normal. He had never been outside the palace gates before, so he was naturally unfamiliar with things outside the palace. However, he did not expect that this thing came from outside the world.
I don’t know how they discussed it, but the next day, Gong Yuanzheng put on a very thick coat and put a new thick coat on Ruan Ruan as well, plus a very thick cloak. After packing his things, he took Jin Fu up the mountain. As for why Gong Shangjiao’s Green Jade Attendant would follow Gong Yuanzheng into the back mountain.
This isn't entirely the fault of the palace gatekeepers who broke the rules and insisted on waiting until a person came of age before assigning a personal jade attendant.
