Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 246 Gong Yuanzheng 33

After thinking for a moment, Miyazaki added.

"By the way, now that Yuanzheng's younger brother has also chosen a bride, he should officially succeed to the position of Palace Master of Zheng Palace. Let him go to the back mountain with Gong Ziyu to participate in the Three Realms Trial!"

Although Gong Yuanzheng is currently the master of Zheng Palace, he is the only official heir.

To become the official Palace Master, one must also pass the Trials of the Three Realms.

"With Gong Ziyu as an exception, the fact that Yuanzheng's younger brother is still a month away from coming of age can also be considered another exception. What do you think?"

Gong Shangjiao gave a fake smile as he looked at the three elders on the high platform.

The Trials of the Three Realms can only be participated in after reaching adulthood, mainly because it is related to the body being fully developed and healthy. The damage inside must be endured.

Elder Hua nodded to Elder Xue, which could be considered as calming down Shang Jiao's arrogance.

Elder Yue saw that both elders agreed, and after thinking about it, he also felt it was feasible.

"That's good, at least they'll have someone to look after them."

Gong Yuanzheng looked disgusted and muttered under his breath, "Who wants to take care of him!"

Gong Shangjiao, who was standing next to him, heard everything clearly: "Yuanzheng, why don't you thank the three elders?"

Gong Yuanzheng reluctantly clasped his hands in greeting to the three superiors.

"Thank you, three elders."

Gong Ziyu hadn't forgotten her promise to Ye Zihan to pick her up today, so she quickly bowed and withdrew.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng were left behind with other matters.

"Shangjiao, what was the reason you left the palace gates back then?"

Elder Hua was puzzled by Shang Jiao's sudden departure from the palace gates so soon after his return, having no idea what urgent matter required Shang Jiao's haste to handle.

"Infinite Flowing Fire."

Gong Yuanzheng had a few question marks popping into his head, but he didn't say anything, afraid that if he spoke, the elders would notice him and prevent him from listening.

The three elders knew he was there because he was about to participate in the Three Realms Trial, and also because he was the rightful heir to the Zheng Palace.

We'll find out when he gets out.

They were confident that Gong Yuanzheng could pass the Three Realms Trial, after all, he was raised by Gong Shangjiao.

Their abilities go without saying.

"Boundless Flowing Fire?" The three elders were all surprised. This matter indeed needed to be dealt with immediately.

"Yes." Only then did Gong Shangjiao understand his doubts from that night.

"That night, Lao Zhiren came to me and said he had something to tell me. We were having tea at the time, and then Gong Huanyu came and told me that Zheng Nanyi's family knew about the Boundless Flowing Fire."

“I became suspicious of Gong Huanyu at that time. Apart from the old master of the Gong family, the three elders, and Gong Huanyu and me, how could outsiders know about the Boundless Flowing Fire?”

"Later, Gong Huanyu suggested that I go out to investigate personally, and Lao Zhiren agreed."

“I understand that this matter concerns the immeasurable flow of fire and cannot be delayed. Even if there are doubts, we must wait until we have investigated it thoroughly before making a decision.”

"But right after I left the palace, news came that there was no information about the Boundless Flowing Fire from Zheng Nanyi's family."

As he spoke, Gong Shangjiao let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to go out at the time, and he never expected things to turn out this way.

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the news itself was wrong. Gong Huanyu's goal was to lure me out of the palace, kill Lao Zhiren, then fake my death so that Gong Ziyu could succeed to the throne."

After thinking for a moment, Miyazaki voiced his guess.

"Why did Gong Ziyu succeed to the throne? Perhaps it was because after Gong Ziyu's fake death was exposed, he was not capable of taking on this important task and would choose to step down. In the end, he would still be the one to succeed to the throne."

The three elders felt that Gong Shangjiao's words made a lot of sense, and they also understood why he had left the palace.

Now that things have come to this point, there's nothing that can be changed; all we can do is take precautions against what might happen next.

Now that they know about Gong Huanyu's plot in advance, there's absolutely no way he can succeed in whatever he wants to do.

Gong Shangjiao: "I suspect that Gong Huanyu plotted all of this for the sake of Wuliang Liuhuo."

"That's weird."

Elder Xue couldn't understand it.

"If it's for the Boundless Flowing Fire, Gong Huanyu will soon be able to succeed to the throne and naturally obtain specific information about the Boundless Flowing Fire. Why resort to such a desperate measure?"

Gong Shangjiao shook his head; these were just his guesses.

"We will only know the whole truth once we capture Gong Huanyu."

The three elders said, "That's the only way."

"Then let's take our leave first."

Gong Shangjiao lowered his head, followed closely by Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng followed Gong Shangjiao to Jiaogong and then inquired about the Boundless Flowing Fire and the Three Realms Trial.

Gong Shangjiao smiled but did not answer: "After you go there, everything you want to know will be clear."

"Oh!" Gong Yuanzheng pouted.

Miyazaki suddenly changed the subject.

"Your bride has been taken back, but my bride is still in the women's quarters."

"Brother, are you going to pick her up?" Gong Yuanzheng asked reluctantly. "Just let her stay in the women's quarters."

Gong Shangjiao: "Gong Ziyu also went to pick her up. Leaving her there might arouse suspicion."

Gong Yuanzheng: "There's no need for you to go in person!"

"I'm not going, are you going for me?" Gong Shangjiao retorted.

"I'm not going. What if Yueqing finds out and gets angry with me!" Gong Yuanzheng muttered to himself.

He already has a bride. If he goes to pick up another bride, who knows how that delicate young lady will view him? What if she dislikes him?

No future.

Miyazaki barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

“I’ve already sent Jin Fu there, how could I let you and your sister-in-law misunderstand?”

"Hehe." Gong Yuanzheng chuckled foolishly.

The next moment, Jin Wu walked in: "Madam is here. She asked if you are going back for lunch, young master."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng immediately stood up from his seat.

"Brother, I'm going back now."

"Let's go, let's go." Gong Shangjiao waved his hand, looking like he couldn't bear to watch.

Gong Yuanzheng immediately ran to the entrance of the corner palace and saw Qing Yue standing next to the pavilion. She had listened to what he said and was accompanied by a maid.

"Just have someone call me next time."

Qingyue: "I was just browsing around when I stopped by to ask."

...

The two sat at the dining table and ate.

Thinking it best to explain, Gong Yuanzheng swallowed the food in his mouth.

"I'm going to the back mountain in a few days to participate in the Three Realms Trial, and I might not be in the front mountain for a few months."

Qingyue knew very little about what was inside the palace gates, and the amount of information she could find out was even less.

What is the Trial of the Three Realms?

Gong Yuanzheng didn't know how to explain it either, as he himself was still only vaguely aware of it.

"It is an examination that each palace master and blade wielder must pass."

Qingyue asked in confusion, "Aren't you already the Palace Master?"

“It’s different.” Gong Yuanzheng shook his head slightly: “I am the only one left to inherit the rightful line of the Zheng Palace. Although I am called the Palace Master, I still have to make up for the assessment.”

Qingyue: "Why do we suddenly need to make up for it now? Why didn't we make up for it before?"

Gong Yuanzheng honestly replied, "The Three Realms Trial requires men to reach adulthood, that is, to be 20 years old, to participate."

"Wait, how old did you say?"
