However, Tang Yu and Gong Ziyu were not too disappointed, as they had not placed their hopes on these assassins in the first place.
Even though Lady Kirihime has already explained the misunderstanding, and is even still playing along.
However, there is only one way to deal with Wufeng: improving one's strength is the most important thing.
Therefore, after figuring out that Yun Que's matter was related to Yue Gongzi, Gong Ziyu immediately requested to begin the second trial.
"I won't go with you this time. That place in the back mountain is very special to me."
Gong Huanyu had explained the matter of Wuliang Liuhuo and also mentioned the special circumstances of the back mountain.
Tang Yu had wanted to find out the specifics before, but at that time Gong Ziyu needed to improve his martial arts skills more.
Therefore, Tang Yu did not go to the back mountain to find out the secret first.
“But those mutated people sound terrifying. I’m afraid you’ll get hurt if you go there alone.”
Gong Ziyu gripped Tang Yu's hand tightly, unwilling to let her leave.
Unknown dangers are frightening.
About a hundred years ago, the first generation of the Palace Gate's Blade Master and the four great families of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon made a blood oath to protect the back mountain for generations to come.
It is said that deep in the mountains behind the palace gates live extremely terrifying mutated people. If these people are allowed to leave the mountains, they will bring devastating blows to the entire world.
Therefore, the people of the major families in the back mountains could not leave the palace gate, and the people of the palace gate were also imprisoned in the valley for generations.
Even if the poisonous miasma here will ravage the women's bodies and cause the palace's descendants to become fewer and fewer.
However, the palace gates remained firmly in place, refusing to leave.
After all, protecting the back mountain means protecting all living beings.
As for the Boundless Flowing Fire, it was a massively destructive weapon developed by the Palace Gate and the Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon family using meteorite iron that fell from the sky in the valley.
The weapon was supposedly developed so that one day, if they could no longer control the mutated people in the back mountain, they could take the Boundless Flowing Fire with them and perish together.
Gong Huanyu's reckless actions and Wu Feng's persistent attacks on the Gongmen were all for the sake of obtaining the Boundless Flowing Fire.
However, the palace gate felt that the power of the Boundless Flowing Fire was too great, so it stopped the research on the Boundless Flowing Fire a long time ago and sealed its existence.
This is the biggest secret of the palace gates.
When Gong Huanyu revealed this secret, he asked her in great pain.
Given such a powerful weapon, why not use it against Wufeng?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to do so many things.
Tang Yu was not concerned about Boundless Flowing Fire after hearing this; she was only curious as to why there were mutated people deep in the back mountain.
It doesn't sound like something you'd find in the normal world.
Unfortunately, the people at the palace gates didn't know the reason; they only knew that they had been guarding the back mountain.
Now that he had some free time, Tang Yu naturally decided to go to the back mountain to explore the secrets.
Guo's books never have a proper ending. He used to like to wipe out the entire cast and end the story abruptly. Anyway, all the main and supporting characters were dead, which was equivalent to the ending.
The world setting of Cloud Feather is really speechless, it's so incoherent.
Chapter 18 Cloud Feather 18
After repeatedly assuring himself that he would be alright, Tang Yu went directly to the secret hidden behind the palace gate.
It was a surrounded valley, engulfed in flames all around. No one could go in, and no one could come out.
So, is that mutated person inside?
After taking out a fire-avoiding pearl from his own space, Tang Yu flew directly to the center of the valley engulfed in flames.
Then, she saw a dense mass of corpses.
These corpses were not decomposed; instead, their pale faces were clustered together, making them look rather terrifying.
Even more deadly was that Tang Yu's appearance caused all the corpses to turn in her direction and attack her.
"Xiao Qi, what is this? I don't remember anything, but I feel like I've seen it before."
"Zombies, they carry corpse poison that can infect people."
If someone dies here, they will only become a new zombie. So, to ordinary people, this is an immortal, mutated being.
You can't kill them, and if you are killed by them, you'll become a new zombie.
Upon hearing this explanation, Tang Yu instantly recalled the concept of zombies.
It seems that human methods are simply ineffective against these things.
No wonder the palace gates can only be guarded here; after all, human tricks can't kill zombies.
Using all our strength to fight back will only turn everyone into zombies.
Without any hesitation, Tang Yu flew out.
Killing these zombies now will definitely cause a disturbance.
After all, she was a human being in this life, so she definitely needed a magical artifact to deal with zombies.
After leaving the center of the valley engulfed in flames, Tang Yu began to observe the surrounding flames.
Is this the Boundless Flowing Fire?
It was forged from meteorite iron that fell from the sky; it must be a magical artifact with divine power from some other world.
This magical artifact can generate special flames, which are perfect for dealing with zombies.
Indeed, the great way is balance; everything has its counterpart.
Since mutated beings have appeared, there will naturally be flames to deal with them.
Therefore, the poisonous miasma in this valley seems to be due to the spread of corpse poison.
Having figured out the secret of the palace gate, Tang Yu stopped lingering and quickly returned to the Feather Palace.
A few days later, Gong Ziyu, who had passed the second stage of the experiment, also returned.
Before they could even get a proper rest, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng started causing trouble.
To make the drama of the brothers in the palace suspect each other more realistic.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao directly brought up the matter of their doubts about Gong Ziyu's bloodline.
This matter had already caused quite a stir in the palace, and many people did not agree with Gong Ziyu, largely due to this rumor.
Although this play was staged to mislead Wu Feng's people.
However, puncturing the abscess and completely proving the rumors false is crucial for Gong Ziyu to solidify his position as the wielder of the blade.
Therefore, Lady Kiri played an extremely important role in this scene.
Finally, she earnestly clarified Gong Ziyu's bloodline in front of the three elders.
After everything was over, Gong Ziyu returned to the Feather Palace and lay in Tang Yu's arms.
"Although this scene was planned, I have been troubled by this matter since I was a child. I don't know who I am and I always feel that I am not worthy to live in the palace."
It's kind of funny, but because of this rumor, I would make malicious assumptions every time my father scolded me.
Is it because he also suspects my identity that he dislikes me so much as his son?
Tang Yu gently stroked Gong Ziyu's palm and spoke thoughtfully.
"If there were a pair of parents who were always gentle and considerate towards their daughter, and would give her whatever she wanted."
However, after their daughter grew up, they demanded that she be married off to a wicked and heinous villain, as only in this way could the family be preserved.
Do you think these parents ever loved this child?
Gong Ziyu was stunned; he had never considered such a complicated issue.
Did these parents always know that their child would marry a wicked and heinous man when she grew up?
Is that why he's so gentle and considerate towards his daughter, knowing she'll have a terrible future?
Tang Yu smiled and shook her head.
"No, they don't know what the future holds. They even chose an obedient and sensible son-in-law for their daughter, hoping that she could live a peaceful and prosperous life under their protection."
But the world is changing, and as their daughter grew up, the parents found they could no longer protect her.
Only by marrying their daughter to that utterly wicked villain could their family survive.
So they had no choice but to force their daughter to marry him.
Gong Ziyu had a vague idea of what Tang Yu was saying. He reached out and hugged the person next to him tightly, and his voice was already somewhat hoarse when he spoke.
"Is this story about your cousin? Gong Men is an utterly wicked villain."
Tang Yu smiled, then slowly lowered her head and kissed the other person.
At this moment, Gong Ziyu's eyes were red, and Tang Yu found the young man's aggrieved look rather cute.
She took the opportunity to hug Gong Ziyu even tighter, and her soft lips pressed against his cheek again and again, like the fine spring rain, gentle and tender.
Gong Ziyu was taken aback by this sudden act of intimacy, and her burning body instantly became hot.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly, his arms unconsciously tightening.
“Yu Yu, I know what you mean. My father doesn’t hate me, but his concern for me isn’t as deep as I imagined.”
That's just his personality. He won't change his way of protecting me just because I'm upset. He's just protecting me in this comfortable way, without caring whether I can accept it or not.
Gong Ziyu's voice carried a hint of a sigh.
The way parents and children get along is not simply a matter of caring for each other to achieve a loving and filial relationship.
He loves you, but he doesn't love you very much.
Because everyone is an independent individual, is he supposed to change himself for his son? That's not normal.
Just like your mother, she has her own helplessness and pain. She won't forget those pains just because she gave birth to you, and she won't be able to focus on being a loving mother.
She can only be happy if she is herself.
