Chapter 254 - Then You Can Amuse Yourself
Teng Yu changed into an indigo colored gown with a jade belt around his waist. Carved on the belt were the jade pendants that Yin Xu had carved himself, he set off in a beautiful mood, but just as he stepped out of the house, he was stopped by someone.
Chief Minister Qu laughed and asked: “Your Highness, are you going out? “It seems like our family came at the right time. His Majesty has summoned you to the palace.”
Teng Yu wanted to punch him in the face, “Why is Royal Father looking for me?”
The smile on Chief Minister Qu's face froze, and his voice dropped to an octave, “This … “How would I know?”
Teng Yu looked at the sky. If he entered the palace at this time, it would definitely be very late. However, the emperor wouldn't let him stay the night.
He jumped on his horse and lashed it, leaving the men far behind.
After finishing the dinner in Huo Family, Yin Xu watched the battle between the Huo Yiming and Xiao Feng on the arena and explained it to his little disciple.
This master of his was casual, but Wang Ren this disciple learned seriously and diligently. Usually, other than waiting on Yin Xu, he would only train.
Huo Yiming originally wanted to spar with Yin Xu, but rumours said that his Seventh Brother was powerful, and he had never personally experienced it before.
And from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to know how big of a gap there was between him and Yin Xu.
Unfortunately, the other party wasn't interested in fighting him, so he simply pointed to the person beside him and arrogantly said, “If you can beat him, then I'll come again to give you some pointers.”
Huo Yiming didn't know the left Right Protectorate from the Evil Sect, he only thought of Xiao Feng and Xiao Feng as guards from the Third Prince Mansion, or Dark Guard s from the Third Prince.
Fortunately, the Huo Yiming had never underestimated his opponent, and with Xiao Feng's biting cold temperament, he could not help but go all out at the beginning.
“Flame Yang Spell…” Xiao Feng avoided the wind created by the Huo Yiming's palm attack but was still burned by the scorching heat wave.
The Flame Yang Spell s of Huo Family were considered top tier skills even in the martial arts world. Almost all the disciples of Huo Family knew it, and it was only of a high level.
Xiao Feng had seen the Third Prince use the Flame Yang Spell before, and it was definitely of a higher level than the Huo Yiming. As the eldest son and grandson of the, he must have started to practice martial arts the moment he started to walk, and he did not know when the Third Prince started to practice this technique.
Furthermore, he had a feeling that the Third Prince's technique must be related to their Sect Leader. Strangely, their Sect Leader did not know about the Flame Yang Spell.
Xiao Feng had been using his killing techniques since primary school, and the Huo Yiming had also fought on the battlefield before.
The two fought to their hearts' content. Inevitably, they were injured. However, neither of them paid much attention to it, nor did they even furrow their brows.
It was unknown when Huo Zhengquan had arrived at the drill grounds, but he had his hands behind his back as he watched the duels carefully.
“Is he from the Dark Guard Camp of Third Prince Mansion?” Huo Zhengquan turned to ask Yin Xu.
Yin Xu didn't say much and only replied with two words, “No.” It was unknown if Huo Zhengquan believed him or not.
“Just by looking at his moves, you can tell that this person practices martial arts for the sake of killing people. Furthermore, his body is filled with an intense baleful aura, I wonder how many lives he has on him. If all the Dark Guard s are at this level, then that is truly terrifying.”
“You're thinking too much.” Although the strength of the Third Prince s had greatly increased after they obtained the Flame Yang Spell, it would probably not be easy for them to be on the same level as Xiao Feng in every single one of them.
Practicing martial arts depended on one's Innate Ability and also one's diligence. Both were indispensable. The latter wasn't too different from each other, but the difference between their Innate Ability and Innate Ability was already a fundamental difference.
Ever since Huo Zhengquan had appeared, Zuo Shaotang had been trying his best to reduce his presence. As martial artists, they were somewhat afraid of Marshal Huo.
Huo Zhengquan's gaze swept across Zuo Shaotang's body, then landed on the young Wang Ren. Seeing him pour tea for Yin Xu and peel peanuts for him later, Huo Zhengquan was extremely busy and had his eyes fixated on the competition.
“He's the last disciple you took in?”
“Right.” Yin Xu turned Wang Ren's face towards Huo Zhengquan while pinching his chin, “Look, he's not bad looking, right?”
The corner of Huo Zhengquan's eyes twitched, and his gaze landed on Wang Ren's large eyes which were distinct black and white.
This was the first time he heard that accepting a disciple depended on one's looks, if it was in a normal situation, he would definitely reprimand them, but today, seeing that Yin Xu was in a bad mood, he could not be bothered.
But looking at Yin Xu's expression, it was impossible to tell that he was in a bad mood.
Marshal Huo discovered another virtue of his son.
“What's your name? What did you learn? “
Yin Xu patted the back of his head as the other party replied obediently, “Wang Ren, I only learned a little.” His Master had said that no one could say anything about him knowing how to cast a spell. This couldn't be considered a lie, right?
However, facing the Marshal whom Big Beam respected the most, Wang Ren was a little nervous.
“At your age… You just started to learn martial arts? “
Wang Ren said this more than once and told him to give up. He said that his master did not teach him how to become a disciple, and that must be because of this reason.
“Stand over here.” Huo Zhengquan waved to him, and when everyone was standing in front of him, he touched everyone up and down, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Wang Ren's face turned red, he knew what the Marshal Huo was doing. Actually, there was more than one person who had done it, and in the end, they were all shaking their heads and sighing as they left.
“I know my own bones.” Wang Ren carefully glanced at Yin Xu.
Huo Zhengquan was in a bit of a difficult situation. If this was a disciple of the Huo Family, he would definitely make the other party train for twenty hours a day, using their work to make up for their mistakes. However, he had no right to interfere with whether he was his son's disciple or not.
“Talent is only a part of success. You have to put in more effort and not be afraid of hardships.”
Yin Xu tugged Wang Ren, and pushed the empty teapot into his hands, “Alright, I will teach my disciple, go make some tea for my master.”
Wang Ren nodded his head, and ran off with the teapot in his arms.
Huo Zhengquan frowned, he obviously did not agree with Yin Xu's attitude, “Since you've accepted me as a disciple, then you need to teach me with all your heart, so as to not mislead others.”
“I know, I know. Just you wait and see. In less than ten years, he will surely surpass you!” Yin Xu said confidently.
Huo Zhengquan declined to comment, “You also have the qualifications to learn Huo Family's Flame Yang Spell. Back then, you … If you want to learn, I can teach you. “
Yin Xu curled his lips, and said coldly: “No need, I'm not even interested.” With his physique, training Flame Yang Spell s was simply courting death.
Huo Zhengquan was not angry either, everyone had their own fate, his son's meridians were blocked, and people who were deemed unfit to train in the martial arts, had their own unfathomable skills, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
The two people on the field were already exhausted from the fight and ended up with a draw.
Huo Yiming had not enjoyed this much in a long time. He cupped his fists and said, “This humble one has taken advantage of the cultivation technique. Otherwise, I would really be no match for Guard Xiao.”
Being mistaken as a guard, Xiao Feng did not explain and said indifferently: “Cultivation techniques are not the best part, there is no such thing as taking advantage of others.”
“Haha, Protector Xiao is truly open-minded! Let's compete again another day! ” It was rare for the Huo Yiming to find an equally matched opponent, and he was so happy that his mouth couldn't even close.
He walked in front of Yin Xu and praised: “Seventh Brother, your guard's skills are really not bad.”
Yin Xu thought to himself: Right Protectorate of Evil Sect controls half of the Evil Sect's power, their skills are definitely not bad, and praising Xiao Feng, isn't that the same as praising himself?
Huo Zhengquan was afraid that his eldest son's proud look would anger someone, and scolded him: “You have the advantage in cultivation technique, but have a draw with him. It can be seen that you are not as strong as him, and cannot be arrogant or complacent!”
“Yes, father. Your son is preparing to go into closed-door training to break through to the fourth level. What do you think?”
Huo Zhengquan thought for a while and shook his head, “Meditation is not the best way, you should go back to the Northwest, I will give you a mission, you won't be allowed to come back until you've broken through.”
The Huo Yiming promised very seriously, it was just that he was a little worried about his family's matters, especially Yin Xu's. With his help, he could at least help him out by saying a few words.
“Let's go and treat the wound first.” Huo Zhengquan opened his mouth to kick them out.
Huo Yiming pulled Xiao Feng along to go. Zuo Shaotang saw the two of them talking and laughing all the way. Although it was Huo Yiming who was joking and Xiao Feng was listening, he still wasn't at ease and followed along.
Only Huo Zhengquan and Yin Xu were left on the arena. After being silent for a while, Huo Zhengquan finally spoke: “In another two hours time, do you think he will still come?”
“Yes!” Yin Xu nodded with incomparable confidence.
“Hmph. You are deceiving yourself.” Huo Zhengquan did not tell him that the Third Prince was called into the palace. Furthermore, from the information he gathered, the Emperor did not seem to plan on letting him out.
It was really strange, as though someone was trying to trap him on purpose. However, only Huo Family knew about the agreement with Third Prince, so it shouldn't be spread out.
Yin Xu glanced at Huo Zhengquan indifferently, “You are such a strange person, do you wish for him to come or not?”
“You should ask yourself that. Do you want him to come or not?”
“Ugh …” If he comes, it means that he cares about me, which is good, but if he doesn't come, it means that he doesn't care about girls, that his career is more important, which is also good, don't you think? “
Huo Zhengquan was angered to the point of laughing, “Alright, then you can entertain yourself.” After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left the drill grounds.
Yin Xu looked up at the sky and muttered to himself after a long while: “The starry sky is beautiful tonight.”
