Next, the two went to the Feather Palace to find Gong Ziyu.

Upon entering the courtyard of the Feather Palace, one sees Gong Ziyu practicing martial arts, with Gong Hongyu sitting beside him supervising. "Holding the Blade"

Gong Shangjiao, leading Gong Yuanzheng, walked briskly to Gong Hongyu and extended his palm to greet her.

Gong Hongyu had noticed them when they came in. It had been a while since he had seen them. Seeing Gong Shangjiao's appearance, he couldn't help but think of how he had defied public opinion to choose Huanyu as the young master, and how he had wronged him for so many years. He immediately put on a calm smile and said, "Shangjiao is here, and Yuanzheng is here too."

"Keep practicing!" Gong Hongyu immediately spoke sternly when Gong Ziyu made any small movements, causing Gong Ziyu to freeze in place. It really is true that retribution sometimes comes late; his previous laziness in not practicing is now reaping the consequences!

Gong Ziyu: No, hehe, life is tough! We have to pay off the debts we owe, even if we have to crawl on our knees!

"Zhi Ren, Shang Jiao has something to discuss with Zi Yu."

Gong Ziyu looked up: "Hmm?" Is there something else he needs to do here?

Gong Hongyu knew about the recent events within the palace. He was aware of the collaboration between the two assassins without blades and the palace. Although he was injured and didn't leave the Feather Palace, he still knew what he needed to know. Moreover, Shang Jiao was always meticulous in his work.

Gong Hongyu immediately said, "Let's go inside. Ziyu can continue practicing later."

When her father spoke, Gong Ziyu stopped, feeling sore all over. She was glad to rest for a while. After they entered the house, the two guards outside the door closed the door behind them.

“Zhi Ren, the Lantern Festival is coming up in a few days. At that time, Zi Yu will need to take those two out of the palace for a trip. Zi Yu, please be careful. Wu Feng will contact them at any time.” Gong Shangjiao went straight to the point and did not want to waste time with preambles.

When Gong Ziyu heard that he was to take two assassins without weapons out, he immediately became anxious and blurted out, "Why should I! Why should I do something so dangerous!"

He admitted that he only knew some rudimentary skills, and while he could walk confidently out of the palace gates, he was still afraid of facing Wu Feng outside.

Gong Yuanzheng looked up at Gong Ziyu, who was practically jumping up and down in a panic, and couldn't help but scoff, stating a truth that was both true and deeply hurtful: "Gong Ziyu, you're the most, most, most suitable candidate. Everyone knows you often go out of the palace, so it's not surprising to see you there. My brother and I don't frequent the brothel like you do~"

My brother and I received word that the Unsharp Assassin is hiding in Old Dust Valley. Do you think they'll become suspicious if we show up? They might hide like turtles and not show themselves... Hmm~

Gong Yuanzheng immediately launched into a sarcastic remark about Gong Ziyu. If the old man hadn't been there, he would have poisoned Gong Ziyu right now, letting him experience a fate worse than death. His brother was the true protagonist of this world, the chosen one of destiny.

How dare someone who can't do anything and only causes trouble become the chosen one!

Little Poison Boy is undoubtedly the most vengeful and has a sharp tongue. In his heart, nothing is more important than Ruan Ruan and his brother. He has long disliked Gong Ziyu. If Gong Ziyu really becomes Zhi Ren, given his personality, he probably can't help but poison him to death.

This was indeed the truth, and Gong Ziyu couldn't open her mouth to refute it. She could only mutter to herself in defense, "I went to the Wan Hua Lou simply to appreciate it."

He spoke very softly, but Gong Yuanzheng, who was standing to the side, had his attention completely focused on Gong Ziyu and heard his mutterings. Without thinking, he immediately and loudly retorted to Gong Ziyu with a sarcastic tone and disdain: "Who would believe you just say you admire her? Besides, haven't you ever spent the night at the Wan Hua Lou? Haven't you ever been alone with a woman? Or haven't you ever discussed matters within the palace with that person?"

Gong Yuanzheng's series of questions made Gong Ziyu break out in a cold sweat. He had done every single one of the questions Gong Yuanzheng asked, but it was truly just a matter of appreciation and tea tasting.

He often spends the night at the Wan Hua Lou (a brothel in Taiwan), spends time alone with women, and has talked about palace matters. Yu, you must be sweating buckets, little blackie!

Seeing his son's guilty and unrefutable expression, Gong Hongyu frowned, his face darkened, and his expression became increasingly serious, his eyes turning fierce as he looked at Gong Ziyu.

He thought that Ziyu was just a little unambitious and mischievous, which was fine. He would correct him in the remaining time so as not to fail his ancestors. But he never expected that Ziyu could casually talk about things inside the palace with the Blade outside the palace.

"Thump!" Seeing her father's face growing darker and darker, Gong Ziyu swiftly and decisively knelt down on both knees. The speed and smoothness of her reaction would make even Dove shake her head.
