Gong Yuanzheng strode forward, carefully scooped Gong Ruanruan into his arms, then abruptly turned to Gong Ziyu and said fiercely, "Gong Ziyu, I'm lending you that thing. If you don't return it in time, just wait for me to poison you to death."
Faced with Gong Yuanzheng's fierce words, Gong Ziyu felt a chill run down her spine. Gong Ziyu replied with difficulty, "Okay..."
Actually, he had already discussed lending the items to Gong Ziyu with Ruan Ruan beforehand. After all, even if Gong Ziyu, that good-for-nothing, could pass the first hurdle, it wouldn't make much difference—his brother had said the first hurdle wasn't as difficult as the next two.
The next two tests assessed pharmacological knowledge and the skill of crafting a sword capable of cutting through special blades. Clearly, Gong Ziyu possessed no advantage or ability in either area. If it weren't for the need to use Gong Ziyu as bait, and the fact that the trial wasn't something that could be stopped at will, he would have preferred to keep Gong Ziyu in the back mountains forever, never to come out and harm others again.
Xue Chongzi showed no interest in their conversation. She turned and took the iron box from Xue Gongzi, then leaped into the icy pool, placing the box back in its original spot. Meanwhile, Hua Gongzi had quietly approached Gong Ziyu, his eyes fixed intently on the magnet Gong Ziyu had picked up and was holding in his arms.
He reached out his hands and grabbed at the air again and again, his facial expression gradually becoming ferocious. The main reason was that this thing didn't belong to Gong Ziyu, so trying to get his opinion was completely useless. However, after Gong Yuanzheng told Gong Ziyu that he would lend him the thing, he took Gong Ruanruan out.
Xue Chongzi emerged from the surface of the pool. Upon seeing this, Xue Gongzi rushed forward, grabbed him tightly, and quickly headed towards the room. When Xue Chongzi returned after changing his clothes, Gong Yuanzheng was sitting upright at the table in front of the house, surrounded by tranquility and peace.
The snowflakes falling from the sky were as light and delicate as feathers, one after another, gently landing on his hair and shoulders.
He sat quietly, his gaze piercing through the falling snow, fixed on the scene before him. He was as still as a statue, seemingly completely isolated from the world around him. His eyes exuded a profound and serene aura that captivated all who beheld them.
The two people who arrived saw him like this and thought to themselves: If only such a good young man didn't have that mouth!
At this moment, Gong Ruanruan, nestled on the soft cushion, was completely mesmerized by the beautiful scenery. Her big, round eyes sparkled with surprise, and even drool was about to drip down her furry cheeks.
"Brother! You look surprisingly handsome like this!" Hearing Gong Ruanruan's praise in his mind, a smug smile immediately appeared on Gong Yuanzheng's face. He leaned back slightly in his chair, striking a proud pose, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. That smug little expression once again stunned Gong Ruanruan.
'Hmph~ Of course~' Gong Yuanzheng replied smugly to himself.
“Young Master Zheng, let’s begin.” At first, Xue Zhongzi noticed that Gong Yuanzheng arrived empty-handed, while Jin Fu only carried a bundle containing the magical item called a magnet.
Now that I think about it carefully, it's clear that Gong Yuanzheng definitely planned to leave this place today. The Three Styles of Snowfall are unique martial arts techniques of the Snow Palace, and each of the three palaces in the back mountain has its own exclusive martial arts.
To learn these martial arts, one must pass the trials of the Three Realms one by one.
Gong Yuanzheng nodded in acknowledgment, then stood up and stretched his body before walking down to the snow with Xue Chongzi to begin practicing the Three Styles of Snowfall. Gong Ruanruan also stood up, from where she could see the two of them. The two moved gracefully across the snow, truly appearing to be learning dance rather than martial arts.
"You... your name is Ruan Ruan, right?" Taking advantage of the fact that Gong Yuanzheng had gone with Xue Chongzi to learn the Three Styles of Snowfall, Young Master Xue quietly sat down next to Gong Ruan Ruan and asked softly. Although animals generally cannot understand what they are saying,
But he still felt he should say hello. Hearing Xue Gongzi's question, Gong Ruanruan finally shifted her gaze from Gong Yuanzheng to Xue Gongzi beside her. Only then did Gong Ruanruan truly notice Xue Gongzi's appearance.
