Tang Yu wasn't angry; instead, she stopped and questioned him.
"do you hate me?"
Tang Yu shook her head.
"Then what's the meaning of your smile? Am I that funny?"
"It's not that you're funny, it's that you look really good when you smile. Don't you know you're good-looking?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu's mind went blank for a moment.
All thoughts and all perceptions are occupied by the person in front of you in this instant.
By the time he came to his senses, Tang Yu had already taken several steps forward, and Gong Ziyu could only hurry to catch up.
"What's the girl's name?"
"It's better not to know, because I'm about to leave here."
This answer made Gong Ziyu feel upset.
"My name is Gong Ziyu. Have you heard of me before?"
It seems like they're not very famous.
However, seeing Gong Ziyu's expectant expression, Tang Yu nodded and praised him.
"Rumors say you're very good-looking, and seeing you today confirms it."
"You are very beautiful too."
Gong Ziyu replied shyly, and Tang Yu smiled and spoke up.
“But this batch of brides is for your brother to choose from.”
After saying this, Tang Yu continued walking forward, leaving Gong Ziyu completely stunned.
He caught up with her, wanting to say something more, but those words reminded him of the current emergency at the palace gates.
And so, silence began to spread.
After many twists and turns, the group was finally led to a city gate.
Gong Ziyu opened the city gate without hesitation.
"This is the secret passage that leads out of the Old Dust Valley. It's full of traps and mechanisms, so be careful when you get out."
After saying this, the brides lifted their feet and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, someone on the roof laughed.
"Gong Ziyu, have you forgotten to send someone here for me to test the medicine? What are you doing here?"
Tang Yu could tell that it was a boy a few years younger than Gong Ziyu.
His tone and attitude were anything but polite; he must be a member of the Gong family.
Even after being caught red-handed, Gong Ziyu remained calm and spoke with absolute certainty.
“I am acting on the young master’s orders and do not need to explain myself to you.”
"Whether you were acting under orders or giving false instructions, you know the answer in your heart!"
As soon as the tense atmosphere emerged, Tang Yu knew she was in trouble.
Sure enough, Gong Ziyu had just urged them to leave quickly.
The boy on the roof flew down and used a hidden weapon to close the door to the secret passage.
Then, the two of them started fighting.
Tang Yu sighed on the spot.
If I run away now, wouldn't that be admitting that I'm an assassin without a blade?
This is clearly a setup.
The two of them seemed to be having a lot of fun acting.
To prevent the brides from causing trouble, the troublemaking teenagers even released poisonous smoke.
Tang Yu followed a group of brides and pretended to collapse on the ground, waiting for the two boys to finish their act.
After the fight ended, Gong Ziyu spoke angrily.
"Gong Yuanzheng, they are all brides to be chosen. Do you know what you're doing?!"
It turns out that the troublemaking boy is named Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng completely ignored Gong Ziyu's accusations and instead mocked her.
"Young Master Yu is as tender-hearted as ever!"
It's a pity they were unlucky. Since they infiltrated the Wufeng spy network, they should all be executed!
Now, all these brides are poisoned; without my antidote, they will all die!
Tang Yu looked around and saw that all the brides around her were having adverse reactions to the medication, with severe rashes all over their bodies.
But nothing happened to her.
This...this is truly unexpected.
Chapter 3 Cloud Feathers 3
Tang Yu, who thought he was about to face a fierce battle, never expected that the Assassin Wufeng would self-destruct.
No one noticed that Tang Yu was not poisoned.
Instead, while a group of brides were crying in panic, one of them took Gong Ziyu hostage.
Gong Yuanzheng congratulated Gong Ziyu on successfully setting up the trap and capturing the assassin. The assassin, Wufeng, threatened Gong Yuanzheng to hand over the antidote.
The assassin's attempt to self-destruct was unsuccessful; his mediocre skills were quickly overpowered.
Tang Yu didn't have a chance to observe what happened next before being taken away by the guards.
Wow, this imposter managed to sneak in so easily.
The palace gates are probably finished.
In the latter half of the night, Tang Yu and the other brides were arranged to stay in a comfortable courtyard.
Each bride has her own room.
The servants also brought bathing and toiletries, and everyone took a bath and changed into new clothes. The so-called antidote was also delivered.
It seems no one cares whether she has been poisoned or not.
The comfortable and warm room, the brand-new clothes, and the scented quilt instantly improved Tang Yu's mood.
Therefore, Tang Yu slept soundly and comfortably in the second half of the night.
The next day, the whole courtyard became lively as the brides-to-be who had escaped the ordeal came out to make friends.
The servants who served the courtyard also brought more daily necessities, even rouge, face powder, jewelry, and hairpins.
Tang Yu focused on examining the breakfast, and it tasted pretty good.
As expected of a top-tier sect in the martial arts world, their food, clothing, and treatment are indeed top-notch.
However, Tang Yu was not poor.
The generous treatment wouldn't make her want to marry into the family.
The brides selected through the palace gates had no freedom; they were confined there for life.
So, we still need to find a suitable opportunity to leave here.
However, Tang Yu's plan changed after Gong Ziyu arrived.
How did you know I was in this room?
After Gong Ziyu knocked on Tang Yu's door, she opened it and asked curiously.
"Aside from the brides waiting outside, only three people were still resting in the room."
I knocked on each door, and the second one was the right one.
The method was clumsy, but it worked.
Tang Yu felt no aversion towards Gong Ziyu. After observing him all night, she was certain that he genuinely cared for women.
Therefore, Gong Ziyu genuinely wanted to find the assassin, as this was the only way to save the lives of the other innocent brides.
Therefore, she had a fairly good opinion of Gong Ziyu's character.
"Young Master Yu, since you've come all this way to see me, is there something you need?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu became conflicted.
He clenched his fists, and the tips of his ears turned red.
"I...I just wanted to ask you, what's your name?"
Listening to that stuttering voice, and looking at Gong Ziyu's shy eyes.
Tang Yu really wanted to say that this group of people were Gong Huanyu's chosen brides.
"My name is Wufeng."
Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu snapped back to reality and looked at Tang Yu in shock.
"Huh? Did I just hear something wrong?"
"You heard me right, this name is quite interesting, at least I can see your shocked and bewildered expression."
Gong Ziyu laughed immediately, because he knew the person in front of him was joking.
"You don't want to tell me your name, do you? But I can ask around if I go out. I want you to tell me yourself."
Tang Yu made a teasing decision.
“My name is Tang Yu, but if you ask someone else, I’ll say Yuan Xin.”
