Chapter 317: Entering the Silver Needle Sect

Matters concerning Silver Needle Sect were usually highly confidential, how could Yue Mingxuan know?

Yue Mingxuan raised his hand and pointed.

The figure he indicated was none other than Gongsun Xing.

At that moment, Gongsun Xing was accompanied by Wang Jian.

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Mingxuan had already appeared beside Gongsun Xing.

“Gongsun Xing!” Yue Mingxuan called out as soon as he spotted him.

Gongsun Xing stopped and looked at him. “Mingxuan, why are you here?”

“You knew I wasn’t dead?” Yue Mingxuan was surprised to see that Gongsun Xing showed no sign of shock.

He had already spread news of his “death,” yet Gongsun Xing seemed completely unfazed.

“Don’t you think it’s unbelievable that I’m alive?” Yue Mingxuan asked in return.

Gongsun Xing smiled. “That was a feigned death technique, wasn’t it? I could still detect faint signs of life. I believed you weren’t truly dead, but I couldn’t guess your plan.”

Yue Mingxuan clicked his tongue.

As expected of a miracle doctor, he could see through life and death so easily. Still, Gongsun Xing added, “Your feigned death technique is indeed remarkable. I’d say there are no more than five people in this world who could see through it.”

Yue Mingxuan stuck out his tongue and laughed. “No matter how impressive, it was still seen through by you. But this time you’ve come back… I’m afraid you’re planning something big, aren’t you?”

After saying that, Yue Mingxuan glanced meaningfully at Wang Jian.

Gongsun Xing fell silent for a long while before nodding. “I don’t want to keep living like this with him anymore. I want to make our relationship public.”

“Is there anything I can do to help you?” Yue Mingxuan ask.

“Mingxuan!” Shang Qinghua finally caught up.

Seeing him chatting so happily with Gongsun Xing, he sighed. “Why did you still come here?”

“Silver Needle Sect is about to go through a major change. I can’t just stand by and watch Gongsun Xing be punished,” Yue Mingxuan replied. “It’s already rare enough for two people like them to fall in love in this era. I can’t bear to see them separated.”

Shang Qinghua seemed to be moved by his words.

Perhaps he thought of himself, after a long silence, he said, “If you want to help, then do it. You may use any of my resources within Xieshang. This time, I won’t charge you.”

“Really?” Yue Mingxuan was skeptical at first, but seeing how serious he looked, he believed him.

“I’ll do my best to handle this properly. I refuse to believe that people who truly love each other can’t be together!”

Shang Qinghua looked at him with unmistakable affection.

Yue Mingxuan smiled. “With the support of the prince of Xieshang, this will be much easier.”

“Don’t be too optimistic,” Gongsun Xing said with a sigh. “Silver Needle Sect does not answer to the royal family of Xieshang. Even with Shang Qinghua’s power, you can’t change its rules.”

“I don’t believe that,” Yue Mingxuan replied firmly. “If the two of you truly love each other, why shouldn’t you be allowed to be together? I’m not some stubborn old fool. No matter what, I’ll enter Silver Needle Sect first and figure things out from there.”

Gongsun Xing nodded.

Yue Mingxuan added, “Even if you plan to reveal everything, don’t rush. This matter needs careful planning to achieve the best outcome.”

Gongsun Xing and Wang Jian exchanged a glance and nodded.

They had already hidden their relationship for so many years and waiting a little longer wouldn’t matter.

After all, in the end, they would be together.

No matter how difficult the road ahead might be, the two of them had no regrets.

This was something they had already decided when they first fell in love.

“However, even aside from this matter, the gates of Silver Needle Sect are always open to Mingxuan,” Gongsun Xing said, a rare trace of a smile appearing on his usually indifferent face.

He had always hoped that Yue Mingxuan would enter Silver Needle Sect, because Yue Mingxuan had solved the riddle left behind by his father.

He had always believed that his father could be brought back to life and after learning about Yue Mingxuan’s ability to enter a state of suspended animation, that belief had only grown stronger.

He had always firmly believed that his father was not truly dead.

It was precisely because of this belief that his father had never been buried.

Now that Yue Mingxuan had arrived, perhaps his father really could come back to life.

He did not know whether such a possibility truly existed.

Moreover, if it were his father, perhaps he would be able to understand him.

“Since you’ve already made up your mind, then follow your own plan. I will come find you when the time is right,” Shang Qinghua said with a few final instructions before leaving.

Although he was a prince of Xieshang, he was still, after all, a hostage in Beirong.

This time, escorting Yue Mingxuan back had naturally been done in secret.

As for Beirong, he had already arranged matters so that he would not return for the time being.

A hostage staying away for a long time due to homesickness was perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, with three members of the Beirong royal family having died in succession, his request to return to Xieshang at this time was entirely justified.

The emperor of Beirong had no choice but to grant permission.

After Shang Qinghua left, Yue Mingxuan followed Gongsun Xing into Silver Needle Sect.

It had to be said that Silver Needle Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a gathering place for the world’s finest physicians.

There were also many rare medicinal herbs to be found there.

Medicinal ingredients that were worth a fortune outside and nearly impossible to obtain could be seen everywhere within Silver Needle Sect.

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, Yue Mingxuan would never have believed that such a place could exist in the world.
