"Actually, I find it a bit strange. We are all martial arts practitioners, but you seem unable to discern the depth of other people's internal strength."

This is quite simple for me. Do you want me to teach you?

To determine Gong Ziyu's current level, a fight can be held to check his internal energy.

However, the people here don't seem to care about this kind of thing.

"Can you even judge such a thing? You want to exchange martial arts manuals with me? I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

Hearing Xue Zhongzi's tone—clearly yearning for it yet ultimately resolutely refusing—Tang Yu chuckled softly.

"No, I'll teach you for free, and you can teach others later."

Even after saying this, Yukishigeko was still confused.

Gong Ziyu emerged from the pool water in an instant.

"I succeeded!"

Gong Ziyu was very excited as he carried the box out. After climbing ashore, he quickly opened the box that was testing him.

There was nothing inside, and he immediately questioned the Snow Child.

"Are you kidding me? There's nothing in here!"

"This trial was not originally meant to test whether you obtained the secret manual, but to test your courage and perseverance. You have succeeded. Congratulations, Lord Blade Master."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu excitedly ran to Tang Yu's side, then hugged her and kissed her hard.

Xue Chongzi coughed a few times in embarrassment, and Gong Ziyu then showed an embarrassed expression.

He was definitely too excited just now.

The feeling of being recognized is what he has always longed for most deep down.

After that, Gong Ziyu spoke alone with Xue Chongzi, the young master Xue, and the Gong family passed on the Three Styles of the Snow-Sweeping Sword Technique to him.

Tang Yu did not disturb Gong Ziyu's study of the Snow Palace's martial arts manuals; she simply walked curiously to the Snow Prince's side at this moment.

"You have the Snowflake Moon Clan and the Three Great Clans in your back mountain, so theoretically the Wind Clan should be there too, right?"

This question made Young Master Xue nod.

"There used to be."

"If one day, Gong Ziyu has the ability to reform the palace and grant everyone freedom, would you want that kind of future to come?"

This question surprised Xue Gongzi, who didn't answer for a moment. Tang Yu gave him a gentle smile.

"Reform is something that an incompetent person would do, bringing disaster to the old system. That is an overestimation of their abilities."

But if this person possesses the power of reform, he will break down the old system, bringing freedom and light to those who have been imprisoned.

"Ziyu doesn't actually agree with many of the palace's rules, but he used to want to stand by and watch because he didn't have the power to change them."

But now he has the confidence to change things. The scenery on the back mountain is the same day after day. Actually, Ziyu has always felt that you shouldn't be living this kind of life.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Young Master Xue smiled and said something like this.

"Actually, he accidentally wandered into this place when he was a child. At that time, he did say that he wanted to take the people here out to see the lanterns and the scenery outside. He was different from others since he was a child."

After learning the basics of the Snow Palace Sword Technique, Gong Ziyu finally led Tang Yu away from the Snow Palace, marking the successful completion of the first test.

On their way back, Gong Ziyu asked curiously.

"What weapons is Yu Yu good at? In the previous few battles, you didn't seem to need to use any weapons at all."

"When martial arts skills reach a certain level, even flying flowers and fallen leaves can be used as weapons."

But if you ask me what I'm more used to using, it would probably be a sword.

Anyway, she has quite a few swords in her own space, some of which she forged herself.

There are also some powerful weapons that are not suitable for use.

Gong Ziyu felt somewhat disappointed when he realized that he had studied swordsmanship.

"The people in the palace are more focused on using knives, and what I need to learn now is knife skills."

"Weapons are not distinguished by high or low status; when the mood strikes, I can hurt people by playing the zither."

"Ziyu, if you want to learn swordsmanship, I have quite a few martial arts manuals on this subject, and I'll teach you when the time comes."

Gong Ziyu held Tang Yu's hand and started to act coquettishly.

Have you ever taught others martial arts before?

"No, you're the only one. Would you like to call me 'Master'?"

Gong Ziyu's ear tips turned bright red instantly.

He hadn't thought about what this meant before, but as soon as he said "Master," he suddenly felt a strange sense of taboo about their relationship.

Oh no, he actually felt quite moved; an indescribable feeling quietly spread in his heart.

Gong Ziyu felt like something was wrong with her.

Chapter 17 Cloud Feather 17

After the two returned to the Feather Palace, Jin Fan immediately greeted them with a smile.

Then she talked about Yun Weishan's anxious mood over the past few days, and mentioned that Shangguan Qian had come to see Yun Weishan.

"It seems we can meet Yun Weishan."

Before leaving, Tang Yu dropped a bombshell on Yun Weishan, revealing that the latter definitely hadn't had a proper night's sleep in the past few days.

After the two finished a delicious lunch, they went directly to meet Yun Weishan.

“Holding a blade, Miss Yuan.”

The two of them appearing at the same time shocked Yun Weishan, but she also became more certain of one thing: the two of them trusted each other very much.

"Miss Yun, you have very dark circles under your eyes. Have you been thinking about whether what I said the other day was true?"

Yun Weishan remained silent. Once she admitted some things, she might not even be able to save her own life.

She did suspect that the other party had already confirmed her identity as an assassin.

But suspicion and evidence are two different things. She would rather remain silent than be sentenced to death.

But that statement was too persuasive.

If what the other party said is true, if the Yun family really has a woman who looks exactly like her, then who exactly is she?

In a place like Wufeng, they are perfectly capable of committing child trafficking.

Once she began to suspect that she might be another child of the Yun family, she seemed unable to remain silent.

"What do you want?"

After a long silence, Yun Weishan spoke in a hoarse voice.

Tang Yu chuckled softly, then mentioned a stranger.

"A year ago, I met a woman in a brothel in Jiangnan. She played the pipa very well and had a gentle and tender personality."

That night, while I was boating on the lake admiring the moon, I witnessed this woman jump into the lake and commit suicide.

I rescued her, but she said she didn't need to be saved, and that she would only hurt more innocent people if she stayed alive.

I was curious about what had happened to her, and offered to help, asking her to reconsider.

"She did not give up her desire to die, but she probably wanted to find someone to confide in, thinking that she would have someone to talk to before she died."

So she told me about her short eighteen years of life.

Then, I finally learned the identity of this courtesan; it turned out she was an assassin Wu Feng had planted in the brothel.

"In order to ensure the loyalty of its members, assassin organizations like Wufeng control all members of the organization by poisoning them."

"Miss Yun, that woman didn't die in the end because I helped her cure the poison."

Upon hearing this, Yun Weishan showed a shocked expression.

Everyone could understand Tang Yu's subtext.

Gong Ziyu had been standing by as a background figure the whole time, but at this moment, he took the initiative to speak.

"The palace gates possess the essence of hundreds of herbs, capable of neutralizing all poisons!"

Even if Wu Feng's poison is incredibly potent, the palace gates have the ability to develop an antidote.

Miss Yun, some opportunities are fleeting. If you can't seize them, you'll only be able to become a medicine man in the back mountains, or perhaps you wish to end your own life sooner?

Yun Weishan couldn't figure out what these two were up to. They had already confirmed her identity, so what value did she still have?

"What do you want me to do?"

"Isn't a killer organization like Wufeng something that everyone should kill? Miss Yun, you wouldn't be grateful to Wufeng for training you, would you?"

At this point, Yun Weishan began to hesitate completely.

That hardened heart had softened somewhat, but it couldn't let go of the matter of Hibari.

Yun Que, Yun Weishan's younger sister who depended on her for survival, had previously infiltrated the palace gates, but in the end, she only found a corpse.

She actually harbored some resentment towards the palace gates.

"I want to ask about someone..."

After a long while, Yun Weishan spoke in a hoarse voice.

She needs to know the answer, otherwise she can't make a decision.

Since we've already reached a dead end, let's take a gamble.

Gong Ziyu had only heard about the fact that someone had infiltrated the area.

He didn't pay attention to how the matter ended.

It seems we still need to investigate.

The two failed to persuade Yun Weishan to defect.
