Chapter 168 Cloud Feather 27

Gong Ziyu instructed the other two elders to calm Elder Yue down, then waved for the guards to take Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian away. Only then did he turn his gaze to Young Master Yue, his calm tone carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Young Master Yue, we found the two assassins who were rescued from the dungeon in your room. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Faced with Gong Ziyu's questioning, Young Master Yue's face showed a helpless and bitter smile.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "It was indeed I who saved them."

Gong Ziyu's expression remained unchanged as he coldly uttered two words: "The reason!"

Young Master Yue took a deep breath, no longer wanting to hide it, and simply revealed the secret he had kept hidden in his heart for two years.

Two years ago, Yun Que, an assassin from the Wufeng Sect, sneaked into the palace gates in an attempt to steal the Hundred Herbs Extract, but was discovered by Gong Yuanzheng. Yun Que was seriously injured and collapsed in front of Young Master Yue.

Young Master Yue secretly took the unconscious Yun Que back to the Moon Palace in the back mountains. Later, when Elder Yue discovered this, he used the excuse of making Yun Que a medicine test subject to save Yun Que's life.

The two developed feelings for each other as they spent every day together. Their relationship progressed rapidly, especially after Yun Que learned that the Crescent Fly inside her was not poison and that she had a chance to break free from Wu Feng's control.

However, Wu Feng is ruthless. If Yun Que does not return for a long time, they will definitely send assassins into the palace to search for her, whether she is alive or dead.

In order for the two of them to be together forever, the clever Yue Gongzi came up with a plan.

He first had Yun Que take cicada grass to fake her death, and then, under the pretense of intimidating Wu Feng, he hung Yun Que's 'corpse' on the city wall to be exposed to the sun for three days, attempting to convey the news of Yun Que's death to Wu Feng. Afterward, he would find an opportunity to bring Yun Que back to the Moon Palace, so that the two could stay together forever.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the third day, Wu Feng silently took away Yun Que's 'body', and her fate has remained unknown ever since.

From then on, whenever Young Master Yue heard that the palace gates had captured the Unsharp Assassin, he would secretly go to inquire about the whereabouts of Sky Sparrow.

When he saw Yun Weishan yesterday, he immediately recognized her as Yun Que's sworn sister, so he rescued Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian together and brought them back to the Moon Palace without hesitation.

If the Half-Moon Fly inside them hadn't suddenly flared up, he probably would have already sent them out of the palace through the secret passage by now.

After hearing Young Master Yue's account, everyone present was furious, their anger erupting like a volcano, almost bursting through the roof.

However, having released the secret that had been suppressed in his heart for so long, Yue Gongzi felt a sense of relief and ease.

However, he also realized that his behavior was somewhat outrageous, and a bitter smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Gong Yuanzheng could no longer contain his anger and rushed forward to punch and kick him, cursing as he did so.

"You bastard! How dare you laugh!"

"Ten years ago, the palace suffered heavy losses because of Wu Feng, and how many innocent clansmen lost their lives? You clearly knew that Yun Que was Wu Feng's person, yet you still fell in love with her?"

"They even went so far as to try to 'love me, love my dog' and wanted to send Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian out through the secret passage."

"Do you know what kind of annihilation the palace will face once Wufeng finds out the location of the palace's secret passage?"

Young Master Yue knew his behavior was inappropriate, so he did not retaliate. He silently channeled his inner strength to protect his heart meridian and quietly endured Gong Yuanzheng's anger.

On the high platform, Gong Ziyu did not look at Gong Yuanzheng, who was fighting fiercely, but quietly observed the others in the hall, trying to capture their true thoughts from their subtle expressions.

At this moment, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Zishang stood aside, their eyes as cold as frost, showing no intention of stepping forward to stop Gong Yuanzheng. The expressions on their faces made no attempt to hide their anger and dissatisfaction towards Young Master Yue.

In contrast, the three elders' reactions were more complex. Although they were angry, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Young Master Yue when they saw him being beaten so badly.

If that's the case...

Gong Ziyu's gaze fell on the three elders, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he was thinking about something.

"Enough! Stop it, all of you!"

Gong Ziyu gave a cold shout, his voice as sharp as ice, piercing through the chaotic and noisy scene. His icy voice successfully drew everyone's attention to him.

Gong Yuanzheng was in the middle of a heated fight when he was interrupted by this cold shout, which made him feel a little displeased.

However, considering that Gong Ziyu was now wielding a blade, he managed to control his impulse. But before he completely stopped, he kicked Young Master Yue twice more in frustration before retreating back to Gong Shangjiao's side, still seething with anger.

Upon seeing this, the three elders almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Their reluctance to let go of Young Master Yue and their concern for the situation deteriorating further were temporarily relieved at this moment.

Gong Ziyu keenly sensed the subtle changes in the three of them, and without making a sound, she turned her gaze to Young Master Yue, whose face was already bruised and swollen, and asked directly, "When Yun Que faked his death, did he have any Hundred Herbs Extract on him?"

Young Master Yue was clearly surprised to be asked about this. He paused for a moment, thought about it in his mind, and then nodded to confirm that there was indeed such a thing.

What seemed like a trivial matter to him was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
