"Cough cough" Gong Yuanzheng and the others might not be able to see it, but Gong Ruanruan, who was sitting in a safe area, could see it clearly. A bride coughed, reached into her hand, pulled out a knife from the head of her hand, and walked forward. Suddenly, she felt a strong pull on her hand and was pulled down. The person opposite her cried out, "Am I really going to die? I'm scared, please save me."
The man's gaze swept across the room unintentionally, and one of the brides opposite looked up, glanced around, and then frantically stood up and ran towards Gong Ziyu, shouting, "I won't die here, will I? I don't want to!" Although she spoke in a panic, her eyes were remarkably calm.
Gong Ziyu felt sorry for the girl. Seeing the bride running towards him, he reached out to help her without thinking. In just a moment, the bride put her hands into claws and pressed them against Gong Ziyu's neck.
[My goodness, weren't they just making those moves a little bigger? Seriously though, Sister Zhong has arrived! Hooray!]
Gong Yuanzheng heard Gong Ruanruan's thoughts and looked at the woman in front of him. Because he knew in advance that a daughter of the Hunyuan Zheng family would participate in the selection, his brother showed him a portrait.
"Congratulations, the bug has fallen into the trap."
"Bring the antidote to save his life." Zheng Nanyi said this calmly, her face serene.
[Xiao Kou, you have to admit she looks absolutely stunning right now. If she could maintain this appearance, she'd definitely be a career-driven leading lady. It's a shame she's just someone else's stepping stone now.]
【Yes, Xiao Kou, I completely agree with what you said, An An. From this angle, she looks so much better than when she was hugging that buzz-cut guy.】
It's strange, really. It's supposed to be an ancient martial arts world, so why is there a man with a modern hairstyle? He looks quite out of place among all the long-haired people.
"You can try and see who dies first, you or him." Gong Yuanzheng said, raising an eyebrow at her.
"What are you saying!" Zheng Nanyi was somewhat taken aback. She was holding Gong Ziyu in her hand, yet he said such a thing, as if he didn't care at all.
Gong Yuanzheng flicked a pebble that hit Gong Ziyu's leg. At that moment, Gong Huanyu flew out from not far away, rescued Gong Ziyu from Zheng Nanyi, and punched him against the wall, knocking him unconscious.
With the word "take away," two guards dragged the person away, while the remaining bride followed them.
"Brother Yuanzheng, you were reckless."
“Young Master, I was just trying to save Brother Ziyu. The acupoints below the knee connect to the elbow. With the elbow numb, Brother Ziyu should be fine.”
"Besides, Brother Ziyu was so eager to set up this scheme that I couldn't let his bitter smile go to waste. Didn't we catch him?"
Gong Ziyu listened to him saying he couldn't let him waste his efforts, and thinking of when he had attacked him earlier, she said, "Nonsense! You clearly intended to kill me!"
"Little brother Yuanzheng, don't be so reckless next time."
"Yes, young master." If it weren't for saving face, he wouldn't have wanted to give the position to this person who was not as strong as his brother and had even taken his brother's place.
Just then, Gong Ruanruan walked up to Gong Yuanzheng's feet, "Meow~"
Upon hearing the call, Gong Yuanzheng bent down and hugged Gong Ruanruan into his arms.
Gong Huanyu felt a little disgusted when she saw the raccoon dog.
[Brother, why don't you mention Jin Fan's insubordination and beating of you? He's just a guard, and you're the Palace Master of the Conquest Palace. It's obvious who's superior. We can't let them take advantage of us!]
