In the front hall of the mansion, a young man wearing brocade clothes was sipping tea, with a somewhat heroic look on his eyebrows.
"Haha, I was refining elixirs before, so I neglected the distinguished guests of the Prince's Mansion." Gongsun Mo walked quickly and saw a young man. His eyes became more confused, but he still said with a smile.
When the young man in fine clothes saw Gongsun Mo, he also stood up, cupped his fists and saluted Gongsun Mo: "Junior Liu Yu, pay my respects to senior Gongsun Mo."
"No need to be polite, I just don't know why nephew Liu Yuxian came to my Gongsun Mansion?" Gongsun Mo asked.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "On behalf of His Royal Highness, I am here to give Senior Gongsun a gift."
Gongsun Mo showed curiosity: "For no reason, why did His Highness the Crown Prince give me a gift?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Senior, let's take a look at the gift first and then talk about it."
With that said, he took out a jade slip from his arms.
"Senior, please accept it." Liu Yu offered the jade slip with both hands and said respectfully.
Gongsun Mo didn't hesitate, he took the jade slip and inspected it.
This sight immediately made Gongsun Mo look shocked.
This jade slip actually records an ancient alchemy technique that has been lost for a long time. For an alchemist, the value of this ancient alchemy technique is simply unimaginable, and it would not be replaced by any city.
Even though Gongsun Mo was well-informed, he was also shocked by this gift. As an alchemist, this lost ancient alchemy master immediately made Gongsun Mo feel like he couldn't put it down.
However, Gongsun Mo was not dazzled by this great gift. Prince Zhou Yishui had someone send this ancient alchemy technique for no reason. He must have had his intention, and it was not just a gift.
"I wonder if Senior Gongsun is still satisfied?" Liu Yu was good at observing words and expressions. Seeing the look on Gongsun Mo's face, he knew that this ancient alchemy technique must have aroused Gongsun Mo's interest.
Gongsun Mo nodded, looked at Liu Yu, and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness give this gift to me?"
Liu Yu said bluntly: "His Royal Highness wants to borrow one of the Tianxing Ancient Scrolls."
Hearing this, Gongsun Mo's expression changed immediately. He didn't expect that Prince Zhou Yishui had this plan. This was a big deal.
The Gongsun family has the Ancient Star Scroll passed down from generation to generation, which records many powerful martial arts and magical powers, as well as several rare secret techniques.
This Tianxing ancient scroll originally had seven volumes, which have been passed down to this day. Two volumes were lost due to a family turmoil, and now only five volumes remain.
Even people from the Gongsun family, not everyone is qualified to read the Ancient Scrolls of the Star. Geniuses like Gongsun Xiao and Gongsun Long have only read one of the volumes.
As for outsiders, it is impossible to see the Ancient Star Scrolls. However, Zhou Yishui took out an ancient alchemy technique and wanted to borrow one of the Ancient Star Scrolls in exchange. This actually touched the Gongsun family. Bottom line.
"Go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that there is no room for negotiation on this matter." Gongsun Mo said angrily and returned the jade slip to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu seemed to have anticipated Gongsun Mo's reaction and said with a smile: "Senior, there is no need to be angry. His Highness the Crown Prince said that this is just the first gift. As long as the Gongsun family can let him read the Ancient Scroll of the Star, there will be others." Gifts are offered.
With that said, Liu Yu took out another Jiugong bag.
Gongsun Mo glanced at the contents of the Nine Palace Bag, and his pupils shrank again. There were actually three thousand-year-old ancient medicines in the Nine Palace Bag, which exuded an extremely astonishing aura. They were obviously at least two thousand years old.
The three ancient medicines were all at least two thousand years old. This was really a generous gift, which made Gongsun Mo sigh. As expected of the Prince's Mansion, with its profound heritage, he could just give away this thousand-year-old medicine casually.
Three thousand-year-old medicines and an ancient alchemy technique made Gongsun Mo unable to remain calm.
The two gifts sent by Zhou Yishui were very right. As an alchemist, Gongsun Mo had little resistance to alchemy, ancient medicine, and elixir recipes.
Even if it were another alchemist, it would probably be the same.
However, Gongsun Mo still shook his head and refused. Although he wanted these things very much, the Tianxing Ancient Scrolls were extremely important to the Gongsun family and could not be read by outsiders. Moreover, Gongsun Mo alone could not make the decision in the Gongsun family. Even if he agreed, Other senior figures in the family would not agree either.
"Take it back, this is indeed impossible." Gongsun Mo said.
Liu Yu did not show any sign of frustration, nor did he take the things back. Instead, he placed the jade slips and the Jiugong bag on the table.
"Senior Gongsun, don't be too busy refusing. Maybe senior will change his mind in a few days." Liu Yu said something meaningful, bowed to Gongsun Mo, and then left the front hall.
"By the way, I heard that Gongsun Xiao of your mansion is very close to that Fang Lin?" Liu Yu suddenly said this when he was about to leave the front hall.
Gongsun Mo turned around, frowned and said, "So what?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Senior, let Gongsun Xiao keep a distance from that Fang Lin. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like this person."
After saying that, Liu Yu left.
Gongsun Mo looked at the jade slips and nine palace bags on the table, his brows furrowed deeper. He heard a lot of meaning from Liu Yu's words. Prince Zhou Yishui was very persistent about his own Tianxing Ancient Scroll, and there might be more. Other means must be used.
Liu Yu's last words were a warning to the Gongsun family not to get too close to Fang Lin to avoid getting burned.
"Huh! What a domineering prince!" Gongsun Mo said. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the prince Zhou Yishui, he also felt helpless. As the prince of Daxuan, Zhou Yishui had the qualifications to be domineering.
Although the Gongsun family is also a first-class family in the Xuan Kingdom, they still have to bow to the royal family in many cases.
After Liu Yu left, Gongsun Xiaocai brought Fang Lin to the front hall. After learning Liu Yu's intention, Gongsun Xiao also showed dissatisfaction.
"This is too much. You actually want to get your hands on the Heavenly Star Scrolls of my Gongsun family. Do you really think that my Gongsun family is so easy to bully?" Gongsun Xiao said angrily.
Fang Lin listened on the side and said nothing. He was just an outsider and had no qualifications to speak.
Gongsun Mo looked worried: "I'm afraid Zhou Yishui won't give up. I just don't know what he will do next."
"How about I go to the Prince's Mansion to make him give up this idea." Gongsun Xiao said.
Gongsun Mo shook his head: "No, Zhou Yishui will not change his mind once he has decided to do something. If you try to persuade him, it will be useless."
Fang Lin saw the sad faces of the two of them and knew that it was not convenient for him to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye immediately.
After Gongsun Xiao sent Fang Lin out of the house, Fang Lin returned to Danmeng alone.
On the way back to Danmeng, Fang Lin noticed something was wrong as he walked. Why did he feel like someone was secretly watching him
