Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
The Green Simurgh Sword, which even the Phoenix Girl could not draw, was unexpectedly pulled out by an obscure junior sister.
Before today, they had never even heard of her so-called name.
Even her entry into the palace today was by riding on the coattails of Elder Yan.
Did Gongsun Yanming know about this?
He sent Elder Yan into the palace to clean up Gongsun Liuying's mess, only to strip his own daughter of all her dignity and credibility.
Now, there was truly no room for argument.
He couldn't possibly once again blame his failure on an injured finger.
How bad could the injury have been?
It had healed long ago, to the point where even a pinprick scar was undetectable.
What's more, her right hand was injured, not her left — hadn't she just tried with both hands?
She had even used her inner strength.
"There's something wrong with the sword!"
Consort Hu snapped out of her daze and declared decisively.
