The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 160 Cloud Feather 19

Gong Huanyu grew increasingly anxious, her heart burning as if on fire, each moment of waiting becoming unbearable.

Reason told him he had to leave immediately to avoid any accidents or revealing his presence.

But a voice inside him kept urging him to find out what was going on. After all, with his martial arts skills, even if he was discovered, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

In the end, he quickly changed into light night clothes and, taking advantage of the moon and stars being hidden, silently headed straight for the Feather Palace.

Gong Huanyu was, after all, the future heir of the palace gate, so he naturally knew the terrain of the palace gate like the back of his hand, and he also knew the location of all the guards and sentries very clearly.

And so, he arrived at the Feather Palace without any trouble, and found a corner near the study that was not easily noticed by the guards. He held his breath and prepared to eavesdrop on the conversation between Gong Ziyu and the others inside.

……

The atmosphere in the study was heavy, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The people present were not fools, and they all had some guesses about Gong Huanyu's faked death.

After the old master of the Blade Master's death, Gong Huanyu, as the young master, will naturally succeed him as the Blade Master.

But he gave up such an opportunity, and even went so far as to fake his death to hide his whereabouts. Who would believe there was nothing fishy about it?

what?

Gong Huanyu doesn't want to wield a blade?

Forget it!

Gong Huanyu's face was filled with desire, and his eyes shone brightly, silently proclaiming, 'I want to be the Blade Master.'

To say that Gong Huanyu didn't want to be a blade-wielder would be impossible, unless the sun rises in the west.

So here's the question: Gong Huanyu clearly wanted to be the Blade Master, so why did he give up the readily available position and fake his death to escape?

Everyone couldn't help but recall the night Old Blade Master died; besides the assassin, it seemed that only Gong Huanyu was present...

After a long silence, the three elders spoke up: "There are still doubts about the young master's faked death. His parents both died at the hands of Wufeng. How could he still cooperate with Wuji knowing that she was an assassin of Wufeng?"

"Moreover, whether the young master really faked his death still needs to be verified. After all, Wu Feng is treacherous and cunning. Wu Ji has been infiltrating the palace for twenty years, so she must have a bigger scheme. It is very likely that she is deliberately trying to confuse the public and divert the attention of everyone in the palace."

"Not to mention what she said about Shangjiao and Yuanzheng swapping the old wielder's Herbal Essence. It was clearly a deliberate attempt to instigate infighting within the palace so that Wufeng could reap the benefits."

Gongmen and Wufeng are mortal enemies, and their grudges are deeply rooted and ingrained.

Once something involves Wufeng, regardless of the truth, the people of the palace will subconsciously blame Wufeng for everything.

Therefore, after Lady Mist Princess revealed her true identity as Wu Feng, the beautiful image she had painstakingly cultivated over twenty years collapsed in everyone's eyes in an instant.

The kindness and affability she once displayed, those seemingly sincere smiles and gentle gestures, were interpreted as a carefully woven disguise, and every bit of goodwill she once showed was shrouded in the shadow of ulterior motives.

Compared to the obviously problematic Lady Mist, who has already been confirmed as the Unsharp Assassin, everyone completely ignored Lady Mist and focused their attention on Lady Mist.

Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, Gong Ziyu turned directly to the three elders and said sincerely, "I am young and ignorant and not up to the task. I would like to ask the three elders to teach me how to handle the current situation."

Elder Hua, still in a state of excitement, instinctively thought that they should deal with Lady Wuji first, and then find the young master as soon as possible.

But just as he was about to speak, Elder Yue suddenly tugged at his sleeve, interrupting him.

He turned his head in confusion and saw Elder Yue and Elder Xue looking at him with disapproving eyes.

Then I turned to look at the three younger people opposite me.

Gong Zishang sat there silently, seemingly still grieving over the fact that Lady Wuji was Wufeng, unusually quiet for him.

The brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng, who had been speaking so eloquently just moments before, now sat back down in their seats, their eyes slightly lowered, remaining silent.

Elder Hua suddenly realized that Gong Ziyu had now become the Blade Master, and all matters, large and small, within the palace should rightfully be under his control.

Previously, Elders Xue and Yue, along with others, saw that Gong Ziyu was not doing his job properly and were afraid that he would not change his nature even after becoming the Blade Master. Therefore, they thought of keeping a closer eye on him in important matters to prevent any mistakes from happening.

However, judging from Gong Ziyu's change in the past two days, it is clear that he does not need their 'care'.

Judging from his actions today, this person is not only decisive and resolute, but also seems to want to make decisions unilaterally.

It should be noted that although the four palaces are under the command of Zhi Ren, each palace is still independent in its daily operations. Zhi Ren only needs to pass on the tasks to be carried out, and the specific execution of the tasks is planned by the palace master of each palace.

But now that Gong Ziyu has become the Blade Master, he demands that the other three palaces submit an action plan to him before taking any action and discuss the details of the operation. This is clearly an attempt to seize power from the three palaces.

How could such a strong-willed person tolerate others making decisions on their behalf?

Even if it's correct, it won't work!

People are now asking them questions humbly, simply out of respect for their status as elders and to maintain basic etiquette.

The reason Gong Ziyu called them all over tonight wasn't because he genuinely wanted to hear their ideas, but rather to unilaterally inform everyone that Lady Wu Ji was the Wu Feng assassin and that the young master was not dead.

That's it!

As for Wu Ji's accusation that Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng switched the old wielder Baicao Cui, he probably didn't believe it at all. Otherwise, judging from his behavior these past two days, he would have already taken them down. Why would he allow them to make excuses here?

His decision to bring this up publicly was probably because he wanted to bestow favors upon the two of them in front of everyone.

At the same time, he declared to those inside the palace who still had doubts about his ability to wield the blade that he not only possessed the skills and temperament expected of a palace guard, but also the demeanor and vision of a leader.

In doing so, they not only consolidated their position but also won the hearts of the people.

He also turned his former most formidable rival, Miyazaki Kaku, into his own camp.

That's killing several birds with one stone!

Having figured this out, Elder Hua's gaze towards Gong Ziyu changed. He thought to himself: This kid has too many hidden agendas. If I'm not careful, I'll fall into a trap.

But on second thought, the palace was in a precarious situation, and having a strong and skilled wielder could greatly soothe people's hearts and stabilize the situation, which might not be a bad thing.

Elder Hua smiled slightly: "Now that Zhi Ren is in charge of the palace, he can make all decisions on his own."

After he finished speaking, the others chimed in, nodding in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Gong Ziyu's gaze softened instantly.
