Chapter Seventy-Four: Divergence
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Jing Qiushui woke up.
She saw that Jin Jiao and Ming Xiaozhi were still asleep, so she didn't disturb them, but walked out of the room alone, and the palace maids in the main hall went to rest, and she came to the empty courtyard alone.
"Feng Palace...... Sure enough, it's a big place, like a labyrinth. Jing Qiushui said to himself.
"Where do you start?" Jing Qiushui said to himself, making a choice in his heart.
The main hall where Sha Sa lives must be heavily guarded, and it may not be easy to explain her time to go.
Feng Gong must have some secrets, which will not be shown to outsiders like her and Jin Jiao, if she discovers those secrets, what can she gain? Magic weapon? Cheats? Artifact? Or is it a bigger hassle?
"If you want to explore, you should start where it is forbidden." Jing Qiushui found that he was not small.
She decided to take a risk and walked alone in the opposite direction that Ming Xiaozhi had led last night.
Jing Qiushui felt that with his own intuition, he could always find something.
She walked all the way north, through a long corridor, where she encountered a number of flying creatures that attacked herβall of them looked like little red birds, the five elements belonged to fire, and they would spit out flames from their beaks.
Jing Qiushui naturally used a double-headed sword to repel them one by one.
Finally, at the end of the corridor, she saw a huge door.
The doors are carved with ornate and intricate patterns.
It was a phoenix.
There are also many small phoenixes gathered around.
"What is this place?" Jing Qiushui stepped forward curiously, and the phoenix door opened automatically.
Jing Qiushui looked around: "It seems that there is only one way." β
She stepped inside the Phoenix Gate, and the door closed automatically.
In front of her, she saw a beautiful high-rise building.
Jing Qiushui walked to the door.
The door is locked. She tapped gently.
"Is it Miss Ming? Come in. A beautiful female voice came from inside.
Jing Qiushui stood outside the door and heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
The moment the door was opened, a woman with short brown hair appeared.
"Miss Ming, I'm ......" She raised her head, only to realize that the person in front of her was not Ming Xiaozhi.
"Who are you? Why does it appear in the Phoenix Palace? β
"Miss Gongyu, have you forgotten me?"
Gong Yushan's blue eyes showed horror, and then she immediately calmed down, "Are you ...... Jing Qiushui? β
Gong Yushan's sword is unsheathed. She glared at Jing Qiushui hatefully: "The paralysis you used on me last time, let me return it to you!" β
Jing Qiushui turned to one side, and Gong Yushan, who was attacking forward, pounced into the air, and immediately turned around and raised his sword.
Jing Qiushui used her double-headed sword to block her attack.
"You! Are you coming to Fenggong now to send you to death? I will fulfill you! β
"Gongyu girl, slow down, I'm not here to be a bad guy this time." Jing Qiushui smiled, "I'm a distinguished guest invited by Sha Gongzi, so it's better not to hurt me." β
"What did you say?" Gong Yushan said angrily.
"Please take back your sword."
"Why should I trust you?"
"If you hurt me, it will naturally irritate Sha Sa's them." Jing Qiushui knew she was gambling, but she still said so.
Gong Yushan glared at Jing Qiushui for a few seconds, and then withdrew the sword, but did not put it in its scabbard, but held it in his hand.
"What are you coming to me for?"
"I want to know something about Feng Palace."
Gong Yushan sneered: "What, you didn't know enough about the last time we met?" β
"Nope." Jing Qiushui said, "I want to see how you and Wu Yue are going to defeat Sha Sa and get the throne of the Palace Master of Feng Palace." β
ββ¦β¦ Aren't you the one Sha Sa invited in? Why should I help you? β
"Ah Shan, who's out there?" Wu Yue's voice came from the inner room.
"That's Wu Yue, right?" Jing Qiushui said to Gong Yushan, "Could it be that Gong Yuxuan is also there?" It's time to be with the three of you again. β
"Brother Xuan is not here." Gong Yushan stared at Jing Qiushui tightly, "I advise you to go." Don't let us see you. β
"I am a guest of the Feng Palace. You can't do anything to me. β
"How long do you want to pester us?" Gong Yushan asked.
"Gongyu girl," Jing Qiushui said in a serious tone, "I know you are an upright person, why let the corrupt intrigues of the Feng Palace ...... you"
"Don't talk as if you know everything!" Gong Yushan yelled.
"Ahsan!" Wu Yue immediately appeared, and when he saw Jing Qiushui, he immediately pulled out his sword.
"Wu Gongzi," Jing Qiushui said, "I'm a distinguished guest invited by Sha Sa, you better put away your sword." β
"What else do you want to do to Ashan?" Wu Yue said angrily.
"Do nothing." Jing Qiushui said, "I'm here this time to learn about the games of your Feng Palace. β
"Games?" Wu Yue smiled contemptuously, "You are just an outsider, so don't make trouble for yourself." β
ββ¦β¦ I was staying in Ming Shinozhi's room. Jing Qiushui said.
Wu Yue and Gong Yushan's eyes widened at the same time, surprised.
"It seems that you didn't expect our relationship to be so good." Jing Qiushui said deliberately, "If you want me to say, don't let me eat closed-door soup, let's go in and have a good talk, how about it?" β
Wu Yue held the sword in one hand and Gong Yushan's shoulder tightly with the other, and struggled for a while before saying, "Come in." β
"Ah Yue......" Gong Yushan looked worried.
"Don't be afraid, we are in the Feng Palace, she doesn't dare to do anything."
Jing Qiushui thought to herself: You really think of me as a bad person.
Jing Qiushui successfully entered the residence of Wu Yue and Gong Yushan.
Wu Yue and Jing Qiushui sat down face to face, and Gong Yushan sat next to Wu Yue, a little absent-minded.
"Since you're a guest and want to talk to us, let's talk." Wu Yue said listlessly.
"You want the position of palace master, don't you?" Jing Qiushui gets straight to the point.
Wu Yue frowned, and said in a complaining tone: "It's not that I want to be the palace master, but this position can't be inherited by that little ghost, otherwise wouldn't our Feng Palace become the laughing stock of the world?" β
"Sha Gongzi is not a little devil." Jing Qiushui said.
"Even so, Feng Gong should be led by someone more mature and powerful."
"Just like you?" Jing Qiushui said, "Are you more mature and powerful than Sha Sa?" β
"Listen...... Miss Jing," Wu Yue said impatiently, "if you come all the way to us, just to repeat something that Miss Ming can tell us...... You'd better give up. β
"I'm sorry, but I didn't use it properly."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Yue's eyes, obviously he didn't expect Jing Qiushui to apologize.
Jing Qiushui continued: "Is there no more peaceful solution? β
Wu Yue shook his head: "What, don't you want to watch our Feng Palace make a big fuss?" β
"I really don't want to." Jing Qiushui said, "Now that the new forces in the martial arts are rising, not to mention the Lingshuang Sect, do you know about the Jingkong Gate and the Dragon Palace joining forces?" β
Wu Yue and Jin Yushan looked at each other, and then Wu Yue said, "I've heard a little bit. So what? β
"If the Jingkong Gate and the Dragon Palace form an alliance, it will break the balance of the three palaces. Do you want to put Feng Gong in a weak position? β
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment.
Gong Yushan suddenly opened her mouth: "No, we never wanted to let Fenggong fall into a crisis." β
"However, isn't your so-called battle for the palace master exactly splitting the Feng Palace?"
"For the sake of power, this is a matter between men, and a girl like you won't understand." Wu Yue said.
Jing Qiushui glanced at Gong Yushan, who was obviously a little uncomfortable.
"If it is to take care of the overall situation, Feng Palace should also make alliances, instead of watching the country he has laid down fall into the hands of the Dragon Palace and Jingkong Gate." Jing Qiushui said.
"The Dragon Palace also has a profound blood relationship with the Feng Palace," Wu Yue said, "How can you help the outsiders in Jingkong Gate?" β
"Here's the problem," Jing Qiushui said, "Judging from the current situation, you Feng Gong are outsiders who have been excluded. β
"Hey, even if you're a guest, you can't talk like that." Wu Yue said angrily.
"I'm telling the truth," Jing Qiushui looked at Gong Yushan, "Gong Yu girl, you know what I mean, right?" β
Gong Yushan's face turned pale and she didn't answer.
"What's wrong, Ashan? Would you believe this guy's words? Wu Yue looked at Gong Yushan unwillingly, as if expecting her reply.
"Ah Yue...... You have some places...... Isn't it too extreme? After a long time, Gong Yushan spit out this sentence.
"What did you say!?" Wu Yue slammed the table, and all the cups on the table jumped up, scaring the two girls.
"Wu Gongzi, you better control your temper first, and then talk about being the palace master," Jing Qiushui said, "I have good words to persuade and be loyal to my ears, otherwise even if you become the palace master of the Feng Palace, I bet that within three months, the Feng Palace will have an enmity with the people of the world." β
"Hah! Do you think that the current Feng Palace has no enmity with the people of the world? Wu Yue laughed proudly.
"If the power of the Feng Palace falls into your hands, the Feng Palace will only be even more disgusted." Jing Qiushui said.
"Bold!" Wu Yue pointed his sword at Jing Qiushui, "What a crow's mouth!" I think you're here to provoke, right? β
Jing Qiushui brushed aside the tip of the sword pointed at him with his fingertips. Wu Yue secretly marveled at how strong her internal skills were.
"Young Master Wu, let me say it bluntly," Jing Qiushui said, "The reason why I came here is because the future of the Feng Palace also determines the direction of the Qilin Palace and even the Imperial Palace, and the future of the Feng Palace is in the hands of you and Sha Sa. β
"Then are you here for the Qilin Palace, or for the Imperial Palace?" Gong Yushan asked.
Jing Qiushui said lightly: "...... Naturally, it is for the Kirin Palace. I live with Jin Jiao of Qilin Palace, and we both live in Ming Xiaozhi's room. β
Hearing this, Gong Yushan and Wu Yue looked at each other.
"The ...... of the Kirin Palace Jin Jiao? Is it Kim Song's granddaughter? Gong Yushan frowned slightly.
"It's still a well-informed girl." Jing Qiushui said, "So, can you not only see the interests of the Feng Palace, but ......?"
"You want to add to our concerns," Wu Yue interrupted her and looked at Gong Yushan, "but we have our own solutions. β
"That's right." Gong Yushan said, "I just assassinated a foreign prince. β
Qiushui was shocked: Could it be ......
