Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 527

Young Master Xue gazed at Gong Yuanzheng expectantly, praying silently in his heart that after thinking for a while, Gong Yuanzheng would be able to come up with a clever plan to wake Young Master Yue up.

Gong Yuanzheng knew the poison he was researching very well, and every detail was deeply engraved in his mind. If he just wanted to wake someone up from a coma, there would be countless ways for him to try. The key was whether Xue Chongzi was willing to try these methods.

Gong Yuanzheng looked troubled, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem. After a while, he finally said, "There is a way to wake Master Yue up, but..."

Before he finished speaking, it was like an invisible hook that tightly hooked Master Xue's heart. Master Xue couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter? Is there anything that can make Master Yue wake up? Are there any missing medicinal herbs or something like that?"

Various possibilities flashed through Xue Gongzi's mind. He originally thought that there was some rare item that Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao could not get, but then he thought again and felt that something was not right. After all, he had heard from Hua Gongzi, who had been secretly heading to the front mountain, that Gong Yuanzheng's mother's family was a very powerful family, and there should be nothing they could not get.

"Mr. Xue, you are joking, right? No matter in this world or in the wilderness, is there anything that I, Gong Yuanzheng, cannot obtain?" Gong Yuanzheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, his eyes revealing his disdain for Mr. Xue.

Master Xue was a little unhappy when he saw this, but he suppressed his emotions and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by that, Master Zheng? Is there anything wrong with the method you mentioned?"

Gong Yuanzheng slowly put away the things in his hand, then looked at Master Xue with a half-smile, and slowly said: "Fighting poison with poison, this is my way. However, looking at Master Yue's current condition, even if he can wake up, I'm afraid he won't last more than seven days. But if he continues to sleep like this, maybe he can live peacefully for another three to five years."

After hearing this, Master Xue's face instantly became solemn. He obviously didn't expect Gong Yuanzheng's method to be so dangerous. Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, a childish but slightly cold voice came from behind the two of them.

"I agree with Master Zheng's method! Let Xiaoyue wake up!" Although the voice was childish, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Master Xue was very familiar with this voice. He turned around immediately and saw Xue Chongzi who came with Gong Shangjiao.

"Yuki Shigeko!"

Xue Zhongzi ignored Mr. Xue's doubts and walked straight to Gong Yuanzheng. "I agree with your idea. Let Xiaoyue wake up immediately, even if he dies the next moment after waking up."

Young Master Xue didn't understand why Young Master Yue had said before that it was fine to let him live like this, but after talking with Young Master Jiao, he agreed to Young Master Zheng's method of sending Young Master Yue to his death.

"Xiaoxue, please go back to the Snow Palace first! I will explain to you after I return!"

Mr. Xue originally wanted to explain a few more words, but when his eyes met with Xue Chongzi's, the cold and majestic look made him shut his mouth immediately, as if he was suppressed by an invisible force.

Master Xue sighed helplessly, and like a defeated rooster, he turned away dejectedly, his steps seeming a little heavy.

Master Xue was walking back to the Snow Palace in a depressed mood, still brooding over what happened just now. At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him. He looked up and saw Master Hua coming towards him, obviously to visit Master Yue.

"Mr. Xue, how is Mr. Yue doing?" Mr. Hua asked with concern.

Mr. Xue just looked at Mr. Hua listlessly, without even the mood to answer, and continued to walk forward silently. Seeing this, Mr. Hua's heart tightened. He had never seen Mr. Xue so depressed, so he hurriedly followed him and returned to the Snow Palace with Mr. Xue.

As soon as he entered the Snow Palace, the young man felt a bone-chilling chill. He looked around and saw that the place was still covered in white, with snowflakes falling all over the sky, as if they would never stop. At a glance, there was no other color except the white snow, and even a green plant was hard to find.

The playboy couldn't help but shiver, and he rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself up. However, even the hot breath he exhaled was instantly condensed into ice beads by the cold air, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"No matter how many times I come here, I just can't get used to your Snow Palace!" Young Master Hua complained. "It's too cold here, and there's no color at all. It's all white, or the snow lotus in the ice pond. There are very few other plants!"

Young Master Xue rolled his eyes at Young Master Hua in annoyance, "The skills that Xue Chongzi and I practice are of cold attribute, so we can practice faster in this environment."

Flower Master was not offended by Snow Master's rolling his eyes at him, "But you can't keep looking at the snow like that! Haven't you become closer to Horn Master? Why don't you ask him to bring you something that can be planted in the snow when he goes out to do business, not white flowers or something else?"

When Master Xue heard Master Hua mention Gong Shangjiao, he once again sat unhappily in the place where he and Xue Chongzi usually sat.

"Master Jiao came here this time to discuss important matters with Xue Chongzi! Why would he listen to me just for a small request of mine?"

When Hua Gongzi heard about discussing important matters, he instantly became interested. "Master Jiao, what important matter do you want to discuss with Xue Chongzi? It's not about re-selecting a blade! Or revising the palace rules?"

Master Xue shook his head, "I don't know. Master Xue Zhongzi and Master Jiao didn't tell me. Master Zheng took me out of the Snow Palace and went to the Moon Palace to visit Master Yue."

Mr. Hua's thoughts were finally pulled back to the original track, "Did Mr. Zheng say when Mr. Yue would wake up?"

Mr. Snow opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again, leaving Mr. Flower stunned.

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly silent? Has Master Zheng not found a solution yet? Or will Master Yue just have to spend the rest of his life in a coma?"

Master Xue finally spoke, his head hanging in sadness, "Master Zheng said that he could use poison to cure poison to wake Master Yue, but Master Yue would only have seven days to live after waking up. After seven days, Master Yue would still die."

After hearing this, Mr. Hua was horrified, "What! It would be better to let Mr. Yue remain unconscious. At least he is still alive!"

Master Xue sighed and continued, "But Master Zheng also said that Master Yue will only last another three to five years in his current condition, so Xue Chongzi agreed to Master Zheng's request and has asked him to fight poison with poison."

Young Master Xue looked towards the Moon Palace, his eyes showing emotions that Young Master Hua could not fathom, "Young Master Hua, if you knew what Young Master Yue had done in the past, would you think he was not someone worth saving?"

Mr. Hua didn't understand what Mr. Xue meant.

"What's wrong? Did Master Yue do something wrong? Or did he violate some palace rules? But if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, and no one in our back mountain says anything, then no one will know, right?"

Although Young Master Hua had been taught by his father, Elder Hua, to remember the palace rules since he was a child, he still didn't want Young Master Xue and Young Master Yue, who grew up with him, to be punished by the rules.

Young Master Xue didn't know how to start his conversation to complain about the heinous crimes committed by Young Master Yue. In Young Master Hua's eyes, Young Master Xue looked as if Young Master Yue had woken up just to be punished.

"Could it be that Master Yue has violated all the palace rules? Then what should we do? Should we ask Xue Chongzi to go to my father and ask for mercy? My father and others would still listen to Xue Chongzi's words!"

Mr. Hua was so anxious that he turned around and saw Mr. Xue still sitting there. He said anxiously, "Mr. Xue, please say something! What on earth did Mr. Yue do wrong?"

Young Master Xue was surrounded by Young Master Hua and asked about Young Master Yue's affairs. In the end, he couldn't resist Young Master Hua's harassment and told everything.

"Master Yue once saved a female assassin from Wufeng, and even placed the secret medicine in the palace gate, Baicaocui, on the female assassin. The female assassin used the fake death medicine developed by Master Yue, brought Baicaocui back to Wufeng headquarters, and saved the leader of Wufeng!"

"What! Is Master Yue crazy?" Master Hua didn't know what was wrong with Master Yue. "He must have been poisoning himself while researching the medicine formula! Why did he save a sharp-edged assassin? And he even had Baicaocui taken away!"

Mr. Hua couldn't think of any excuse to excuse Mr. Yue at this time, "Do Mr. Jiao and Mr. Zheng know about this?"

Master Xue could no longer continue to conceal the truth for Master Yue, "They knew. They told Xue Chongzi after their investigation!"

Mr. Hua was biting his fingernails anxiously, "I'm afraid Mr. Yue has done more than just this one thing! Otherwise, Mr. Jiao would definitely make Mr. Yue confess everything he has done before letting him die. He would not let Mr. Yue lie there unharmed after committing such a serious crime!"

Master Xue: "Lao Zhiren's successor, Madam Wu Ji, is also a Wufeng assassin! And when Wufeng pretended to be a Thunderbolt Hall and entered the palace gate to slaughter the palace clansmen at will, this was actually done by Lao Zhiren and Madam Wu Ji together! Madam Wu Ji has not revealed her identity for so many years, and it was Elder Yue who helped her get rid of the poisonous insect in her body that Wufeng used to control them."

Mr. Hua was so shocked by what Mr. Xue said that he was speechless. "Is Elder Yue crazy? Doesn't he know the relationship between Wufeng and us? Why did he help the Wufeng assassin? And Old Zhiren, was he bewitched by a Wufeng assassin?"

The Flower Prince was spinning around in the snow in a panic, "Has Old Zhiren forgotten the Gongmen clan members who died at the hands of Wufeng? How dare he? What was he thinking? He actually let Wufeng, who was pretending to be from the Pili Hall, enter the palace gate!"

Young Master Hua propped himself up and looked at Young Master Xue with a serious expression, "Besides us, Young Master Jiao and Young Master Zheng, who else knows about this? Do my father and Elder Xue know about it?"

Young Master Xue had asked Xue Chongzi before, and judging from his expression, I guess the two elders should know as well!

"Xue Chongzi went to the Elders' Council before. I don't know the details, but I think Elder Xue should know something. I don't know much about your father!"

Mr. Hua thought for a moment and said, "I know! I will go back to the Flower Palace now. If there is anything, please come to the Flower Palace to find me in time! I will go and find out about my father's background first!"

After Hua Gongzi finished speaking, his figure was as fast as lightning and he rushed straight towards Hua Palace at full speed.

There was silence in the Moon Palace.

After hearing what Xue Chongzi said, Gong Yuanzheng's mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile. His eyes were like torches, staring at Xue Chongzi with a smile, as if he was laughing at his ignorance. However, with a nod from his brother Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng slowly opened the medicine box that had been neatly packed.

The moment the medicine box was opened, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. Gong Yuanzheng carefully took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from the medicine box. The jade bottle was pure white and had exquisite patterns engraved on it. However, the liquid in the bottle had a strange color, which made people feel scared.

Gong Yuanzheng gently poured the liquid in the jade bottle into Master Yue's mouth, and the liquid slowly flowed down Master Yue's throat.

"I have never tested this medicine on humans before, so I can't guarantee whether he will wake up after taking it, and how long he can survive after waking up." Gong Yuanzheng said solemnly.

Xue Chongzi looked at Master Yue expressionlessly, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he seemed to not care about Master Yue's life or death. However, when he saw that Master Yue's body was gradually showing signs of awakening, a subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

"Even if he can only live one more day, it's enough for me." Xue Zhongzi's voice was as calm as dead water, without the slightest ripple. He stared at Yue Gongzi as if he was the only person in the world.

Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Shangjiao and Xue Chongzi stood quietly beside Master Yue's bed. The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere. Their eyes were all focused on Master Yue, watching his eyeballs begin to move slightly and his eyelids tremble as they opened.

The awakening of Master Yue made the whole room fall into a subtle silence. Gong Yuanzheng's face flashed with a subtle expectation, and he seemed to be full of curiosity about Master Yue's reaction after waking up. Gong Shangjiao seemed a little nervous, he clenched his fists, not knowing what would happen next.

Gong Yuanzheng's expression was somewhat playful, and the malice in his eyes was seen by the somewhat confused Master Yue who had just woken up.

"Since everyone is awake, I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked out of the room, leaving Xue Zhongzi and Gong Shangjiao behind.

Gong Yuanzheng was not interested in the possible dispute between them. He was more concerned about Master Yue's reaction to the medicine that had entered his mouth after he woke up, as well as the series of changes in Master Yue's physical and mental state after he woke up.

After bidding farewell to Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng left the Moon Palace without hesitation on a small boat. The boat drifted gently on the lake, and Gong Yuanzheng's figure gradually went farther and farther, disappearing in the moonlight.
