The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 162 Cloud Feather 21

Gong Huanyu tried his best to remain calm, but he had just been surrounded and beaten by the crowd and had not yet recovered from the chaos. While he was still thinking about how to defend himself, Gong Ziyu accused him of being his father's murderer. His heart was immediately filled with turmoil.

Not to mention, he really did kill the old man. Now that this secret has been exposed by Gong Ziyu in public, Gong Huanyu's heart felt like it was tightly bound by an invisible net.

Guilt, panic, fear, resentment, disgust, and even regret—these complex and contradictory emotions intertwined, almost suffocating him, and a look of panic involuntarily appeared on his face.

Gong Huanyu was currently in the center of everyone's attention, so his every little move was clearly seen by everyone, and the panic and unease on his face were naturally presented to everyone without any concealment.

Seeing his behavior, Gong Ziyu couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt. With such poor adaptability, he dared to try to be a mastermind behind the scenes.

What a joke!

Initially, he had some doubts about whether Gong Huanyu was the murderer of Lao Zhiren. However, considering that it was too much trouble for Gongmen to investigate anything, and that he might not even find the right thing after struggling for a long time, he thought it would be better to take a different approach and catch Gong Huanyu off guard.

Gong Huanyu has never been good at hiding his emotions. In the past, as long as Lao Zhiren praised Gong Shangjiao in front of him, he would show displeasure. He was as petty as a pinhole.

Therefore, if Gong Huanyu is indeed the real culprit who killed Lao Zhiren, he will definitely reveal his flaws when faced with the sudden accusation.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he didn't kill Lao Zhiren. I can just pour him a cup of herbal tea afterward as an apology!

But now it seems he made the right bet!

The three elders, Hua, Xue, and Yue, who followed Gong Ziyu out, initially wanted to dissuade him when they heard his accusations, since there was no evidence to prove that Gong Ziyu was the murderer.

But when they saw Gong Huanyu's panicked expression, they instantly understood—

Gong Huanyu actually killed the old wielder!

Gong Huanyu actually dared to kill his father!

Killing one's father is utterly heinous!

Upon realizing this, the three elders were instantly enraged.

"Gong Huanyu, Old Blade has been incredibly kind to you! How dare you commit such an unforgivable act as patricide, which is condemned by heaven and earth and angered by both gods and men?"

Elder Hua's chest heaved violently with anger, his eyes glaring fiercely at Gong Huanyu.

They chose Gong Huanyu as the young master instead of the more talented and promising Gong Shangjiao because he was gentle, polite, filial to his elders, and loving to his brothers, similar to the old master, and thought he could inherit the old master's will and continue to make the palace family live in peace.

To everyone's surprise, Gong Huanyu turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not only did he ruthlessly kill the old Zhiren who treated him like his own son, but he also secretly colluded with Wufeng.

Faced with the angry and contemptuous gazes of the crowd, Gong Huanyu knew that the situation was not good. He thought to himself: I absolutely cannot admit to such a heinous crime as patricide, otherwise there is only death waiting for me!

“Three elders, how could I have killed my father? This is all just Gong Ziyu’s side of the story. He must be coveting the position of wielder, so he conspired with Wu Ji to frame me.”

In a moment of desperation, Gong Huanyu had a sudden inspiration and quickly pointed at Gong Ziyu to explain.

Having said that, ignoring the sword at his neck, he knelt down with a sorrowful expression, crawled straight to Elder Yue, grabbed his leg, and wept uncontrollably:

"Elder Yue, you know me best. How could I possibly commit such a heinous act as patricide? Gong Ziyu has no evidence whatsoever and is clearly slandering me without any evidence."

As he spoke, he pointed angrily at Gong Ziyu and said, "Gong Ziyu! You used to idle away your days, indulging in pleasures and debauchery. Father disliked this and often scolded you. I was always the one who spoke up for you. I never expected that you would now try to smear me for the position of Blade Master."

Gong Huanyu spoke earnestly, her expression sorrowful, as if she had truly been wronged.

However, Elder Yue remained unmoved, her face ashen. She even took a step back with a cold expression and broke free from his arm.

Elder Yue was kind-hearted but not foolish. Although Gong Huanyu did not admit to killing Lao Zhiren, his panicked expression just now said it all.

Moreover, if he were truly innocent, he would have argued his case and cried out for justice when faced with Elder Hua's angry rebuke. Instead, he chose to grovel and beg for sympathy, attempting to shift blame onto Gong Ziyu. His underlying intentions were all too obvious.

"Since you say that Zhi Ren framed you, then tell me in detail how Zhi Ren joined forces with Lady Wu Ji? And why did you fake your death? Most importantly, who killed Old Zhi Ren? Did you ask the pharmacy manager to switch the Herbal Essence that Old Zhi Ren was taking?"

Gong Huanyu's eyes flickered: "Father was naturally killed by Wu Ji, and the reason I faked my death was because I discovered the secret collusion between Gong Ziyu and Wu Ji, so..."

At this point, a sinister glint flashed in Gong Huanyu's eyes, and he suddenly sprang up, charging straight toward Gong Ziyu beside him.

Gong Ziyu is the weakest in martial arts among those present, and he is also the wielder of the Gong Clan. Once captured, his life can be used as a bargaining chip to force everyone to submit, thus giving oneself a chance to survive.

Gong Huanyu moved like a ghost, rushing to Gong Ziyu's side in the blink of an eye. At the same time, he used all his strength to swiftly and fiercely strike Gong Ziyu with a palm, intending to deprive him of his ability to resist in an instant and subdue him quickly.
