Chapter 67
Chapter 67 - It Has Nothing to Do with Me Anyway
Teng Yu did not bother to ask about what was happening in the palace. The palace feast was nothing more than a scheming, scheming, and contentious scene. It was better to use it for cultivation than to waste time and idle chatter with a bunch of annoying people.
He had been salivating over the Flame Yang Spell for a long time.
After dinner, Teng Yu dragged Yin Xu into his bedroom, told him that no one should disturb them tonight. He then closed the door, and took them to the training room through a secret passage.
“Could it be that the entire underground of the Third Prince Mansion has been opened by you?” Yin Xu asked after a series of twists and turns.
“That won't be the case. There are some places that cannot be opened if they don't have any use for it. Furthermore, it will be easy to be discovered if there's more exits.” Teng Yu explained a few important routes to him, telling him to keep them in mind.
Yin Xu was a little complicated in his heart, the reason Teng Yu was able to tell him such an important secret was probably because of the cultivation technique he gave out, he had clearly sensed that Teng Yu was holding back before.
After exiting the secret passage, Yin Xu looked around and asked curiously: “Where are we?”
Teng Yu closed the door to the secret passage, then turned and walked forward, “Guess.”
Yin Xu walked over to the window and looked at the scenery outside, and felt that it was a little familiar. He had only walked around this mansion once, and that must be the place he had walked through before.
An idea came to his mind. He asked tentatively, “It's very quiet around here. This shouldn't be the front courtyard right?”
Teng Yu sat cross-legged on the praying mat in the middle and took out a thin piece of paper from his bosom. As he read, he said, “The front yard of Third Prince Mansion is mostly empty, why can't it be the front yard?”
“Based on the distance that we've just taken, it doesn't seem like we're still in the front courtyard.”
“Maybe I took you around?”
Yin Xu walked to his side and sat down, supporting her chin with his hand as he looked at him, “This young master's memory is very good.
“Haha …” Alright, Seventh Young Master is indeed very smart, this is only the backyard. Teng Yu raised his head and gave him a look of praise.
“Oh? “Northern Courtyard?”
Teng Yu exclaimed, and said in surprise: “How did you know?”
Yin Xu did not answer and instead asked: “It's said that the people living in the Northern Courtyard are all concubines that the Third Prince despised, and that are probably fake, right?”
“Then guess again, why did I choose this training room?”
“In the entire Third Prince Mansion, you should be the one with the least amount of people entering the backyard. Although a lot of the concubines come with other goals, their goals should be all on you and very few people would pay attention to the courtyard where the unfavoured are kept. Even if someone were to come and see the cold and cheerless place ahead of them, they wouldn't think too much about it.”
“It's exactly like this, in the entire Third Prince Mansion, only this part is a pure land. Even those concubines that aren't favored are members of this hall. This courtyard is even safer than the Scenic Garden.”
Yin Xu recalled what he felt when he walked into the Northern Courtyard and suddenly realized, “So that's how it is, this should also be the place where you cultivate your Dark Guard, right?”
“You're really smart!” Teng Yu sighed, “This is the residence of the Dark Guard, but they are not here for their daily training.”
Yin Xu nodded in understanding. There were a lot of people in the Dark Guard, if they were to train here, then it would be too big of a commotion.
Seeing that Teng Yu was immersed in studying the Flame Yang Spell, Yin Xu also meditated at the side, maintaining a safe distance, so as to not disturb each other.
Teng Yu had already memorized the formula by heart, but to train in a consummate technique, it was obviously hard for him to understand it by heart. He needed to understand every single word thoroughly, if not he would be very easy to be in the wrong direction right from the beginning.
To be able to become one of the world's top techniques, the Flame Yang Spell must not be something that everyone can learn just by looking at it. Secret arts passed down from Huo Family to generation must have a set of experiences from senior cultivators.
Teng Yu read the words on the piece of paper over and over again a hundred times, but he still could not find a suitable place to start.
Yin Xu had said it before, the Flame Yang Spell was the strongest and strongest mental cultivation method, it walked the unyielding and tyrannical path, and after cultivating it, one would have immense power, moreover, it had the effect of strengthening the bones, and could change the physiques of humans.
Teng Yu closed his eyes, Qi sinking into his dantian, he silently recited the chant, eliminating all distractions and tried to find the true meaning behind the chant.
Time slowly passed. When Yin Xu opened his eyes, he discovered that it was already past midnight.
He looked at Teng Yu, and saw him sitting motionlessly as if he had fallen into a meditative pose, a hot air wrapped around his body, and he knew that Teng Yu had already started cultivating the Flame Yang Spell.
He stood up and stretched his limbs, knowing that Teng Yu would not finish his training in a short while, he sneaked out of the training room and flipped over the walls of the backyard, preparing to find himself some tonic.
He did not go too far, but followed behind two guards who came out of Second Prince Palace. After they left Chao Yang alley, he found a place with no people and made his move.
Originally, when they received the news that the Second Prince was not coming home tonight, they were overjoyed and went to bed early. However, they were unable to sleep, it was lonely and empty and cold.
Who knew that the moment he stepped out of the door, he would be targeted by the Demon Lord, dying to the point that not even dregs remained.
After all, they were at the foot of the imperial city. The two terrifying corpses would easily attract the attention of the officials, and although he could guarantee that he wouldn't be found, it would definitely alert the people around.
Sensing that his body was brimming with Demonic Qi s, Yin Xu returned with satisfaction. Passing by Chao Yang Lane, he discovered a few strangers' auras, and hid himself to wander around outside the palace, finding the hiding places of those strangers.
These people were sent by some unknown force, whether they were friends or foes, and from the looks of it, they were likely only under surveillance, and their targets were the Second Prince Palace and Third Prince Mansion.
He strolled around the First Prince's residence and did not find anyone who had the same goal as him. Thus, he speculated that these people were sent by the First Prince.
Teng Yu had cleaned up quite a few spies in the residence in this period of time, and among them, there were definitely people from the First Prince's faction. Even though there were sufficient reasons, they would definitely be on guard for a while.
When Yin Xu returned to the training room, he was still maintaining his condition. It was just that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, and the aura was getting stronger and stronger.
Yin Xu sat at a place not too far away from him, enjoying the heat he emitted, while staring at his handsome face.
Even in terms of Cultivation World, Teng Yu's face was eye-catching, and his Innate Ability was good, he was a good talent for cultivation, I think many large sects would be happy to accept him as their disciple.
If he could bring along his diligent and patient character, then his achievements would definitely not be small.
Yin Xu thought about it aimlessly, and he didn't even notice when Teng Yu opened his eyes, until the temperature around him had dropped and he was woken up by the cold.
“How do you feel?” Yin Xu looked into his eyes and asked.
Teng Yu looked at him deeply and answered with two words: “Very good.”
In fact, he felt more than just good. It was simply too wonderful. He hadn't intended to be able to enter the sect in one night. It was normal for such a high level cultivation technique to take one month two months to enter the sect.
When he thought back to that time, he probably thought about what Yin Xu had said. He thought about his evaluation of the Flame Yang Spell word by word, then inexplicably opened that door.
He looked at Yin Xu with a complicated gaze and said hoarsely, “You …”
Yin Xu stretched his body and yawned, then waved his hand: “Alright, we'll stop here for tonight, it's time to sleep too.”
Teng Yu's lips moved, he still did not voice the doubts in his heart. Actually, the thing he wanted to ask the most was one word: Who are you?
He had someone investigate Yin Xu's background more than once, but the results were all the same. The information on the youth that liked to eat meat and had a bit of inferiority complex was completely different from the one in front of him.
Teng Yu was not stupid. On the contrary, he was smarter than most people, it would be weird if he believed that the person in front of him was Huo Tian.
But if he wasn't Huo Tian, who else could he be? Teng Yu had even clearly investigated the two servants beside him, and had confirmed that they were without a doubt his servants. However, during this entire journey, he had watched the master and his servant get along with each other, and did not seem to be strangers in the slightest.
In other words, even the two servants beside him might not have noticed this young man's weirdness, or maybe they did, but they didn't want to say it.
Teng Yu walked to his side and pulled someone up, then helped him remove a dried up leaf from his hair. He remembered that Yin Xu didn't have this piece of hair before he entered the secret passage.
“Did you go out?” he asked firmly.
“En, you look like you're in good shape, walking out alone out of boredom.” Yin Xu told him about him discovering that there was someone monitoring him outside the manor and reminded him of something.
“Don't worry, I know who sent them …” Let's go, we should be able to recuperate and recharge our strength. There should be an esteemed guest knocking on our door today, and we won't be able to handle it if we lack the mental strength. “
“It has nothing to do with me.” Yin Xu shrugged and followed Teng Yu back.
