After a while, Elder Xue suddenly turned around and said to Gong Shangjue on the side: "Since Shangjue has also reached the age of marriage, why not also choose it too."

Gong Shangjue did not object, and was more foresighted: "That's fine. This selection of relatives was originally designed for the former young master. In recent years, the affairs of the palace have been heavy, and I had no intention of marrying. But recent events have made me reconsider. The bloodline of Gongmen has always been weak, and judging from various recent signs, Wufeng has begun to make plans to encircle and suppress Gongmen..."

Elder Hua nodded slightly: "Well... this is a good thing. Good things come in pairs."

Gong Shangjue turned around and asked Gong Ziyu for his opinion: "Brother Ziyu, what do you think?"

He did not shout out the word "sword wielder", and denied his identity with a calm word.

Gong Ziyu knew his intention and endured his displeasure, saying: "Brother Shang Jue wants to get married, which is of course a good thing. But you have always had a unique vision and high requirements. I don't know who among the girls I will choose left. Is there any that brother who is willing to choose?"

He deliberately emphasized the tone of the second half of his sentence. Gong Shangjue did not look irritated at all and said calmly: "Brother Ziyu, I never give in to anything." Before Gong Ziyu could say anything first, and just left one sentence, "Help me keep Miss Shangguan Qian here."

Gong Ziyu gritted his teeth. Elder Xue saw the difference in his expression and asked tentatively: "Sword wielder, do you also want to choose the Shangguan girl?"

The gauze curtain was lowered again in the hall of the ladies' courtyard, and all the brides-to-be were now kneeling on both sides of the hall.

Everyone was very nervous when they learned about the new marriage selection, but in this serious atmosphere, they did not dare to discuss it. They could only be dignified and look forward to winning the election.

They saw Jin Fu, the bodyguard of Gong Shangjue, walking in from the door. He glanced at all the female relatives, and then said loudly: "Miss Shangguan Qian is invited to go to the sword-holding hall."

As soon as these words came out, others couldn't help but whisper.

A bride couldn't help but asked in frustration: "The sword-wielder has chosen Shangguan girl? What will we do?"

Another female guest replied to her: "Don't be stupid, look at this guard, it is obvious that he is not Jin Fan beside sword wielder."

While everyone was wondering, Jin Fan walked in from outside the door. He looked at Jin Fu, and then his eyes fell on Yun Weishan.

"Miss Yun Weishan is invited to go to the Blade Holding Hall."

The brides all showed surprised expressions, some were silent, and some were unwilling. In any case, they already knew in their hearts that there was no hope anymore. In their sad eyes, Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian stepped out of the threshold at the same time.

The servant put new spices in the incense burner, and the green smoke spread softly.

Jin Fan and Jin Fu escorted Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian into the Blade Holding Hall.

Shangguan Qian raised her eyes and saw Gong Shangjue. Her eyes were unfathomable, and when she looked at people, she always gave people a feeling of nothing to hide. If she is an ordinary woman, she will still be afraid even if she has a good family background and education. Only Shangguan Qian just bowed her head and was shy.
