Chapter 190 Cloud Feather (Viewing Mode) 1
(Many friends have asked for a review of "Cloud Feather" these past few days, so I tried to write one. Please forgive me if it's not very well written!)
Within the Old Dust Valley, clouds and mist swirl, blending into the dark blue sky like a veil. Thin, ethereal shadows are cast on the branches, inspiring contemplation yet remaining elusive.
The palace selection of brides should have been a joyous occasion, but because one of the brides was an assassin without a blade, the palace guard Hongyu ordered them all to be imprisoned in the dungeon and subjected to severe interrogation with poison.
Gong Ziyu felt a pang of pity and attempted to release the brides through the secret passage, but little did he know that it was all a scheme orchestrated by his father, Gong Hongyu. Enraged, Gong Ziyu had a big argument with his father and decided to go to the Wan Hua Lou to find the girl in purple to relieve his distress.
Just as he led Jin Fan to the door, everything suddenly went black, and he heard Jin Fan's exclamation. Before he could respond, he found himself in an unfamiliar, enclosed room.
The room was laid out in a stepped pattern, with a row of seats arranged on each step, and he was sitting in the first row, in a seat near the middle.
Gong Ziyu panicked and instinctively called out, "Jin Fan? Jin Fan? Where is this?"
However, instead of Jin Fan, he was met with a scolding from his father, Gong Hongyu: "What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorderly! Can't you see everyone here?"
After being scolded, Gong Ziyu looked in the direction of the voice and found that her father, elder brother, and Jin Fan were all there, which made her feel a little relieved.
He turned his head and looked around, and saw that Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and his aunt were all there, as well as four other people he didn't recognize sitting in the back.
Upon seeing familiar faces, Gong Ziyu felt much more at ease, but her curiosity also arose: "Father, what exactly is this place? I was just at the gate, and then everything went black, and suddenly I was here."
Such teleportation is something that cannot be done by human beings. Could it be that they were captured by monsters?
Gong Hongyu glared at him, feeling extremely annoyed with his good-for-nothing son, who always brought up the most sensitive topics.
If he knew where he was, would he still be sitting here doing nothing?
In fact, before Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan arrived, Gong Hongyu and the others had already arrived at this room. They tried everything they could, but they couldn't get out of this hellish place.
Left with no other choice, everyone took their seats according to the names on the signs and prepared to play it by ear.
Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan were the last to arrive.
Gong Hongyu was filled with worry. Now, the people from the four palaces on the front mountain and the three palaces on the back mountain had all been drawn into this mysterious space. What if the person behind it all had some evil intentions...?
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the lack of response, Gong Ziyu smiled and began introducing the four young masters from the back mountain: "We all arrived here suddenly..."
Before the words were even finished, the room suddenly went completely dark. Before anyone could panic, a clear electronic voice rang out in the darkness.
Welcome to the Multiverse Broadcast Hall! In a short while, this broadcast hall will guide you through the future development of the Palace Gate in other parallel worlds!
The timeframe for this broadcast is the day after the mysterious deaths of Gong Hongyu, the wielder of the palace gate, Gong Huanyu, the young master, and Zheng Nanyi, the assassin without a blade, in the study.
The list of moviegoers is as follows:
Elders' Council: Elders Flower, Snow, and Moon.
Front Mountain: Gong Hongyu, Gong Huanyu, Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, Gong Ziyu, Gong Yuanzheng, Wu Ji, Jin Fan.
Back Mountain: Flower Prince, Snow Prince, Snow Prince, Moon Prince.
Friendly reminder: Loud noises and any form of violence are prohibited in this screening room! Violations of these rules will be subject to appropriate penalties. Please be a respectful viewer!
As the electronic sound disappeared, the opposite wall instantly lit up with white light and began to play a clear picture.
The scene shown is the view inside the Old Dust Valley. The scene changes rapidly and finally settles on the main hall of the Feather Palace.
The crowd observed the scene closely and saw white banners fluttering inside the Feather Palace, the entire courtyard covered by a plain white curtain, and a sorrowful atmosphere permeating the vast Feather Palace.
In the open main hall, two coffins were placed quietly, and the names of Gong Hongyu and Gong Huanyu were clearly written on the memorial tablets in front of the coffins.
Gong Ziyu, dressed in mourning clothes, stood to the side, her expression one of utter despair.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression instantly changed.
He quickly turned to look at Gong Hongyu and Gong Huanyu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were sitting there alive.
Only Gong Huanyu, after her initial surprise, seemed to recall something, and a bead of cold sweat unknowingly rolled down her forehead as she silently listened to the whispers of the crowd.
Why are Zhi Ren and the young master's mourning hall shown in this scene?
"Why did Zhi Ren and the young master die so suddenly?"
Gong Hongyu and Gong Huanyu, as the current and future heirs of the Gong family, are not only physically strong, but also protected by guards. How could they possibly die suddenly and inexplicably?
How did they die?
Did Zheng Nanyi, mentioned in the subtitles, kill them?
With both men suddenly dead, who will succeed Gongmen as the Blade Master? Gong Shangjiao?
Just as everyone was wondering, the previously frozen scene started moving again. Everyone could only suppress their doubts for the time being and patiently wait for the further development of the event.
[The movie screening has officially begun.]
Jin Fan walked to Gong Ziyu's side with a worried expression: "Did you stay here all night, or did you come early this morning?"
"...Now that you're a wielder, there are still many things to handle. Don't overwork yourself."
Gong Ziyu looked devastated, seemingly still grieving the passing of her father and brother: "I need to go back to my room and calm down. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."
...]
wow——
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Jin Fan actually asked Gong Ziyu to wield the blade?
Gong Ziyu? Wielding a blade?
Gong Ziyu can still be a wielder?
Everyone looked at Gong Ziyu in disbelief.
Gong Ziyu was also somewhat bewildered. After his father and elder brother died, he became the successor to the Blade Master.
The three elders also frowned and analyzed:
"Logically speaking, if the Blade Master and the Young Master were to pass away, the most likely successor to the Blade Master should be Young Master Jiao, right? How come it was Young Master Yu who became the Blade Master in the end?"
"The only possible reason for this is that when Zhi Ren and the young master passed away, Jiao Gongzi was not at the palace gate, so Yu Gongzi made a new Zhi Ren according to the ancestral rule of succession in the absence of a successor."
"But with the wedding ceremony just around the corner, why isn't Young Master Jiao at the palace gate?"
Gong Shangjiao vaguely guessed why he wasn't at the palace gate at the time. He pursed his lips and said, "If Zheng Nanyi really is the Wufeng Assassin, then I must have been investigating the Hunyuan Zheng family at that time."
Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then they understood what Gong Shangjiao meant.
Gong Shangjiao had a relationship with Zheng Zhongyi, the head of the Zheng family. The fact that the Zheng family sent Zheng Nanyi to participate in the Gong family's marriage selection must have been with his approval.
