Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

The three most elegant places in JX3 are Wanhua Valley, Changge Sect, and Qixiu Pavilion.

The establishment of the Seven Show Pavilion is related to the Gongsun sisters. During the Shenlong era of the Tang Dynasty, there were twin sisters, the elder named Gongsun You and the younger named Gongsun Ying. They looked identical, and when traveling the world, they both claimed to be Gongsun Da Niang. Their whereabouts were also unpredictable, so outsiders might mistake them for the same person.

Although they look alike, their personalities are completely different. The elder sister, Gongsun You, is gentle and generous, always letting her younger sister have her way with anything new and interesting, allowing her to choose first. The younger sister, Gongsun Ying, is lively, energetic, and arrogant.

Her younger sister, Gongsun Ying, possessed extremely sharp swordsmanship, which perfectly matched her temperament. Before she was even twenty years old, she had already made a great name for herself in the martial arts world.

Compared to her younger sister, Gongsun You's swordsmanship is more graceful and elegant, more like a dance. Her swordsmanship is beautiful and refined, more like a dance of swords.

In the first year of the Divine Skill Era, there was a powerful family called the Overlord Blade Manor. They held their seventh Blade Showdown, attracting masters from all over the country. Gongsun Ying, the younger sister of Gongsun Ying, also participated in the tournament. It was there that she met Liu Fenggu, the young master of the Overlord Blade Manor.

At this time, Liu Fenggu was also young and spirited, with a wild and unrestrained personality. He and Gongsun Ying were kindred spirits, and their thoughts were often surprisingly similar. Therefore, the two became close friends and often visited each other's homes. Liu Fenggu also became acquainted with Gongsun You through this, and the three gradually began to address each other as brother and sister.

Hongfei paused here, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "I'm so thirsty."

"What's next?" Lu Xiaofeng urged.

"Can't you let me have a sip of tea and catch my breath?" Hongfei retorted to Lu Xiaofeng in an annoyed tone.

"During the time the three of them knew each other, the younger sister, Gongsun Ying, secretly fell in love with Liu Fenggu, who shared a similar temperament. Although Liu Fenggu got along well with Gongsun Ying, he had no romantic feelings for her, only regarding her as a confidante. On the contrary, he developed a fondness for the older sister, Gongsun You, finding her gentle and graceful demeanor deeply appealing to him."

In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Holy Calendar, Liu Fenggu sent a messenger with lavish gifts to propose marriage. His younger sister, Gongsun Ying, was overjoyed, believing Liu Fenggu was proposing to her. However, she never expected it was a proposal to her sister; her beloved loved her own sister. Suddenly struck by this blow, she angrily rebuked Gongsun You, stormed out of the house, and drew her sword, storming the Ba Dao Manor. Liu Fenggu, also surprised that Gongsun Ying loved him, felt deeply guilty about the situation. Even as he watched Gongsun Ying wreak havoc at the manor, he did not intervene. After leaving Ba Dao Manor, Gongsun Ying never returned home. Although her sister, Gongsun You, also had feelings for Liu Fenggu, she loved her younger sister dearly and thus politely declined his marriage proposal.

After this incident, Gongsun You, the elder sister who didn't like going out, had no choice but to leave home to search for her younger sister. While searching, she encountered many destitute people and helped them. She also devoted herself to helping orphans and upholding justice. Because her swordsmanship was graceful and elegant, like dancing, the name "Gongsun Sword Dance" became increasingly famous. Since Gongsun You and her younger sister Gongsun Ying looked exactly alike, people in the martial arts world, unaware of the truth, attributed the fame previously earned by Gongsun Ying to Gongsun You. Unable to find her sister Gongsun Ying, the elder sister couldn't explain herself and from then on could only refer to herself as "Auntie."

Gongsun Ying, the younger sister, had been away from home for several years, often disappearing without a trace. At first, she was filled with resentment, feeling that fate had been unjust. She felt that her confidants, her fifth brother and her older sister, had both deceived her. As time passed, her emotions gradually calmed. Four years had gone by. So she found a place to live in seclusion, never to set foot in the martial world again.

In the second year of Zhou Chang'an, the elder sister, Gongsun Youcai, finally found her younger sister, Gongsun Ying. Although the younger sister still harbored resentment over what happened years ago, she found living alone unbearable. So she followed her sister home. Back home, reflecting on the years the sisters had been apart, she couldn't help but sigh. Upon returning home, Gongsun Ying discovered that all the fame she had built up had been attributed to her sister by outsiders. Her own name, Gongsun Ying, was no longer known.

Returning home, she was reminded of Liu Fenggu by the sight of familiar objects. Her younger sister, Gongsun Ying, felt that Liu Fenggu's shadow was everywhere. Feeling troubled, she had little to say to her older sister, Gongsun You.

In the first year of the Shenlong era, Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian wished to see Gongsun's sword dance. Within a year, he issued seven imperial edicts summoning Gongsun's elder sister to the palace to perform. Gongsun's younger sister, Gongsun Ying, was bored at home. She volunteered to go to the palace in her sister's place, partly to avoid her troubles and partly to leave her mark.

After entering the palace, her younger sister, Gongsun Ying, took a great liking to Princess Anle, the daughter of Emperor Zhongzong. She then took her as her apprentice and taught her the art of Gongsun sword dance. This teaching lasted for four years, during which time she also performed sword dance for Emperor Zhongzong.

In the third year of the Jinglong era, Gongsun Ying heard in the palace that the Famous Sword Tournament of Cangjian Manor had completely overshadowed the Yangdao Tournament of Badao Manor. Remembering her acquaintance with Liu Fenggu at the Yangdao Tournament, she bid farewell to Emperor Zhongzong and left the palace. Emperor Zhongzong saw her off with the Yangzhou Music Hall. Because the Famous Sword Tournament had overshadowed the Yangdao Tournament, Gongsun Ying was very dissatisfied. She then traveled to Cangjian and won the first Famous Sword Tournament's prized sword, Yushen, but this was blamed on her elder sister, Gongsun You.

In the fourth year of the Jinglong era, Gongsun You, the elder sister, officially established Yiying Tower in Yangzhou, signifying her longing for her younger sister, Gongsun Ying. She took in all the orphaned girls she had raised over the years, each a woman of exceptional beauty and talent, known as the "Seven Beauties and Thirteen Talents." The Seven Beauties were: the current head of the tower, Ye Zhiqing ("Qi Xiu"); the deputy heads, Xiao Baiyan ("Chu Xiu"); Xiao Qi ("Yan Xiu"); Su Yuluan ("Han Xiu" (also the "Qin Saint" of Wanhua Valley); Qu Yun ("Zhao Xiu" (also the current leader of the Five Poisons Sect); Wang Weilin ("Wei Xiu"); and Gao Jiangting ("Qin Xiu"). In just a few years, the name "Seven Beauties and Thirteen Talents" rivaled that of Gongsun You in her prime. High-ranking officials, scholars, and young talents from various sects all longed to catch a glimpse of their beauty.

Back then, when Empress Wei, the mother of Princess Anle, poisoned Emperor Zhongzong, Princess Anle, Li Guo'er, was injured by her fellow disciple Li Shangqiu. She fled to Qixiufang and found her master, Gongsun Ying. Gongsun Ying was not a deep or scheming person, but she still harbored resentment over the incident with Liu Fenggu. Thinking that her reputation and love had all gone to her sister, and that even her beloved disciple had been injured by her sister's successor, she found it even harder to forgive her sister. From then on, her resentment towards her sister, Gongsun You, deepened.

In the second year of the Tianbao era, Gongsun Da Niang, Gongsun You, renamed Yiying Tower to Qixiufang. Now, Gongsun Da Niang and Er Niang had long since retired from worldly affairs, and Qixiufang was entirely managed by Ye Zhiqing, the leader of the Seven Beauties. It was at this time that Qixiufang was officially named. For a time, Qixiufang became one of the three most elegant places in the Tang Dynasty, alongside Wanhua Valley and Changge Gate.

"That's the origin of the Seven Shows Pavilion." Hong Fei breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing one of her stories!

"Anything else?" Lu Xiaofeng interrupted Hong Fei, who hadn't quite caught up yet.

"Lu Xiaofeng, aren't you hungry?"

I'm not hungry!

"I'm hungry!" Hongfei said through gritted teeth.

"Let's eat then," Hua Manlou said at the opportune moment.

It turned out that Hua Manlou had already arranged for the meal to be served, and it was ready to eat at any time.

"Let's eat, let's eat. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Hongfei jumped off her chair and ran towards the dining table.
