Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 236 Gong Yuanzheng 23

Gong Yuanzheng: "I'll go with you, let's go."

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng." Qingyue squatted down slightly.

"Stop with all that fluff."

Gong Yuanzheng gently lifted her elbow to help her up; she was too weak, and he didn't want her to break her bones by bowing too many times.

He followed Qingyue's small steps, afraid that if he walked too fast, a small stone might trip her up.

"You've only known each other for such a short time, yet you've already developed such a deep friendship?"

Qingyue looked straight ahead and explained, "At first, everyone was just putting on a show."

"The very next day, when Gong Ziyu barged into the female guest's courtyard, he and Manman confronted him together. They found each other agreeable and often spent time together chatting."

"Now that she wasn't selected and is leaving, I don't know if I'll ever see her again, so I thought I'd go see her off and say goodbye."

Gong Yuanzheng listened attentively.

Brother is probably overthinking it. Song Yueqing's explanations all seem reasonable; she doesn't seem like the type to lie.

Gong Yuanzheng spoke up: "Miss Lin was selected from the beginning."

"Eh?"

Qingyue's eyes widened slightly as she turned her head to look at Gong Yuanzheng, who was half a head taller than her.

"Gong Ziyu knew that Miss Lin didn't like him, but he still chose her. Later, I said a few words, but the elder disagreed and made Gong Ziyu choose someone else. So he chose Miss Ye."

When a certain person's name was mentioned, Gong Yuanzheng's expression showed great disdain.

I didn't expect there to be this layer.

Fortunately, Gong Ziyu's idea was dispelled, otherwise she was sure that Lin Manman would definitely cause trouble in Yu Palace and make Yu Palace restless.

"Thank you." Qingyue said with a smile, "Manman would be very grateful to you if she knew what you did."

Gong Yuanzheng: "I did that to cause trouble for Gong Ziyu."

"Speaking of which, I noticed earlier that one side of your face was red." Qingyue paused. "Is it convenient for you to say?"

When Gong Yuanzheng came up to her, she noticed that one side of her face was normal while the other side was slightly red.

Even if it's hot or you're shy, you can't possibly get one side of your face flushed.

Upon hearing Qingyue's concerned words, Gong Yuanzheng paused, then pretended nothing was wrong and continued walking.

"It's nothing. I had a few words with Gong Ziyu in front of the elders, and he got beaten up too."

As long as he wasn't the only one being punished, and Gong Ziyu was there to take the fall for him, he didn't feel like he was being taken advantage of.

“No matter how much you hate someone, if you just pretend, even if they get beaten up later, no one will suspect that person,” Qingyue said meaningfully.

Gong Yuanzheng: "Are you very skilled at these things?"

Qingyue seemed oblivious to Gong Yuanzheng's occasional probing, and smiled.

"The courtyard is not as simple as you think."

Smiling tigers, two-faced people, inconsistent in their words and actions—there are countless people like this.

Gong Yuanzheng didn't quite understand. He couldn't imagine it. He just thought that Qingyue had a hard time at home because she was weak and had to deal with a large group of people.

...

"Miss Lin, please board the ship soon."

Jin Wu was the first to run to the outside of the palace wall and call out to Lin Manman, who was about to board the boat.

Lin Manman turned around and withdrew her foot: "Is there anything else?"

"My wife wants to say goodbye to you."

Fearing they were walking too slowly, Gong Yuanzheng directly ordered him to stop them, lest they arrive and then leave.

Seeing that their master cared quite a bit about Song Yueqing and was even willing to accompany her personally, they knew that this lady was about to be married, so they naturally treated her with great respect.

"Your wife?" Lin Manman tilted her head. "Yueqing?"

Kim Moo-do: "Yes."

Lin Manman asked, "Whose guard are you?"

Jin Wu: "I am Jin Wu, the bodyguard of the Palace Master of Zheng Palace."

Lin Manman understood. Fortunately, it wasn't Gong Ziyu who chose Yueqing. But wasn't Gong Yuanzheng not yet of age to come of age?

How can you even choose?

After waiting for a while, they arrived.

Qingyue quickened her pace, putting some distance between herself and Gong Yuanzheng, and walked up to Lin Manman.

Gong Yuanzheng, who was behind him, pouted.

Who is he walking so slowly for? She, on the other hand, just saw him and was left behind. Humph!

Lin Manman smiled relaxedly: "I didn't expect that the Palace Master of Zheng Palace would choose you. The situation is much better than I imagined."

"I was a little surprised too."

Qingyue really didn't expect that she would be chosen, let alone by Gong Yuanzheng.

From the moment she entered the palace gates, Gong Yuanzheng had been suspicious of her. He even thought he couldn't wait for her to leave the palace, since there were indeed suspicious points about her!

"We can't leave the palace together." Lin Manman said in a low voice, "How could I possibly know who you are?"

Qingyue smiled and shook her head.

Lin Manman lowered her head in disappointment: "Then I'll wait until you leave the palace and tell you."

Qingyue: "Would you tell me your secrets back then?"

The two whispered to each other, their voices so low that only the two of them could hear them.

Gong Yuanzheng pouted his lower lip. What were they saying? And so much!

Lin Manman hummed in agreement: "A reasonable exchange."

"Perhaps I can guess," Qing Yue said calmly. "Your secret is that you know martial arts, isn't it?"

Lin Manman's eyes narrowed slightly; she had actually guessed it!

"That's so unfair! I never would have guessed it." She didn't deny it: "I'll wait for you to leave the palace."

"it is good."

Qingyue briefly explained why Gong Ziyu initially chose her.

Lin Manman's eyes widened as she listened. When she heard that it was Gong Yuanzheng who had helped her in the end, preventing her from being chosen by Gong Ziyu, her goodwill towards Gong Yuanzheng increased significantly.

Gong Yuanzheng no longer harbored resentment towards her sister Song Yueqing for leaving her at the palace gates.

Good man!!

Lin Manman bowed respectfully to Gong Yuanzheng: "Thank you, Young Master Zheng."

Gong Yuanzheng pouted when he saw that Qing Yue hadn't noticed him.

"I'm not helping you."

Regardless of his motives, he ultimately helped Lin Manman by preventing her from being chosen by someone she disliked.

I've thought about what I'd do if Gong Huanyu chose me. If I were chosen, I would behave myself and not have any other thoughts. I would focus on cultivating our relationship. After all, Gong Huanyu himself is quite capable.

But she never imagined being chosen by Gong Ziyu; she simply couldn't bring herself to like that type of man.

She didn't think she had enough charm to make a prodigal son turn over a new leaf. Besides, she wasn't that tolerant and couldn't accept a man who frequented brothels before marriage, let alone after marriage.

It just so happens that Gong Ziyu hit every nerve with her, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Manman waved to Qing Yue from the boat.

Goodbye!

Qingyue raised her hand and waved it gently, her sleeve sliding down to reveal her slender wrist.

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at it and then looked away.

He squeezed her wrist behind his back; it was so thin, it felt like he could break it with just a gentle squeeze.

Everyone's already gone, why are you still waving? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?

He roughly pulled up her sleeve, then realized it wasn't right and let her hands hang naturally.

"Everyone's gone, stop shaking it."

Qingyue blinked as she watched his series of actions.

"...Um."

"I'll escort you back to the women's quarters."

"it is good."
