"What are you holding?" Gong Ziyu called out to Gong Zishang in confusion. The moment she turned around, she saw the raccoon dog nestled in Gong Zishang's arms, with only its little white head peeking out. In that instant, Jin Fu's eyes seemed to light up when he saw Gong Ziyu.
"Where did this... come from?" Gong Ziyu was also curious. He had never seen a raccoon dog in the palace before. He was so excited that he danced around and reached out to take it from Gong Zishang.
All he saw was Gong Zishang dodging the outstretched hand, grinning at him meaningfully, "This is Gong Yuanzheng's raccoon dog. If he finds out you've hugged it, you're in big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu paused, his mind racing. He thought of Gong Yuanzheng's sour face and Gong Shangjiao's arrogant gaze.
Gong Ziyu's enthusiasm for the cat in front of him immediately diminished by more than half. If the two brothers found out, especially Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Ziyu shuddered at the thought.
"But speaking of which, when did Gong Yuanzheng get a cat? How come I didn't even receive any news about it?" This can only be explained by the fact that Gong Ziyu is always running outside the palace with nothing to do, and knows nothing about what's happening inside the palace.
Standing to the side, Jin Fan couldn't help but sneer, "Young Master Yu, this little fox has been at the palace gate for almost two months now. You're probably the only one in the entire palace who doesn't know about it."
"Jin Fan, why didn't you tell me!" Gong Ziyu only found out today that the cat had been staying at the palace gate for two months. He immediately thought of his father, who always said that he was idle and didn't even know what was happening at the palace gate.
Looking back now, it seems my father was right; otherwise, how could he have only found out about this now?
Jin Fan shrugged, spread his hands out, and said helplessly, "You didn't even ask me."
"Jin~Fan~, why don't you take a look and let's get a raccoon dog of our own?" Everyone present shuddered and got goosebumps when they heard Gong Zishang's high-pitched voice.
Seeing that Gong Zishang's face was almost touching his, Jin Fan immediately reached out and gently stopped her, glancing to the other side. "Miss," he said, "please mind your manners."
Jin Fan originally wanted to say this, but he realized that even if he did, it would be no different from not saying anything at all, as Gong Zishang wouldn't listen at all.
"Ziyu, Zishang, why are you all standing at the door?" Gong Huanyu, who had just returned from the Blade-Holding Hall, was already in a very bad mood. He had originally wanted to use his father to obtain the Cloud Lotus cultivated by Gong Yuanzheng, but he hadn't expected that Gong Yuanzheng would allow the Cloud Lotus to produce seeds.
His plans were disrupted, and he had to rethink everything.
As she walked towards the Feather Palace, she saw Gong Ziyu and Gong Zishang standing at the entrance, and also saw the Green Jade Servant beside Gong Shangjiao. She watched as the two of them talked about something, but because of the distance, she couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Brother, you're back. We were talking about the cat that Gong Yuanzheng is raising. It's beautiful, but why did Gong Yuanzheng get to raise it?" It would be so much better if he were the one to raise it. Can he even take good care of it?
"Ziyu, watch your words." Gong Huanyu gave Gong Ziyu a look. Only then did Gong Ziyu realize that they weren't the only ones present. Gong Shangjiao's Green Jade Servant was still there, and he had spoken ill of Gong Yuanzheng in front of them.
If Jin Fu reports this to Gong Shangjiao, he'll be finished.
[Huh? Wasn't it said that Gong Huanyu was at a crucial moment in his training? How come he was forced to stop at this critical time and come out for a stroll?]
[An'an, have you forgotten? He already broke through a barrier a long time ago. This is just a lie.]
[Yeah, maybe my brain got a little messed up from all that typing just now.]
Gong Ruanruan hadn't been thinking anything in her head; she'd been sizing up Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan. They were indeed quite handsome, but unfortunately, they seemed to have some issues with their brains—a love-struck genius, no less.
It's not that they dislike those sent by the rival of the Palace Gate. When they learned the true identity of the person, their first thought wasn't to tell everyone, but to keep it a secret. If everyone in the Palace Gate were like Gong Ziyu, Wu Feng wouldn't even need to send anyone; he could bring down the entire Palace Gate on his own.
Gong Ruanruan nodded; she believed that Gong Ziyu definitely had the ability.
"She can even nod." Gong Ziyu, who was watching her, happened to see her nod, which made him even more envious. If this were his pet cat, he wouldn't leave the palace for a month.
Gong Zishang looked at the extremely excited Gong Ziyu as if he were an idiot, "I've heard that Ruanruan is very intelligent."
"Ruan Ruan, is her name Ruan Ruan?"
“My brother Yuanzheng did give her a good name. Her surname is Gong and her given name is Ruanruan.”
Gong Huanyu looked at Gong Ruanruan in Gong Zishang's arms. She looked quite cute, but when she thought that she was raised by Gong Yuanzheng, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.
