Chapter 45 (1/2)

Book 1 - What Is A Genius Chapter 45 - Xu Family's Technique.

Translated by: toomuchnoob

The feast eventually concluded. Both He Quanxin and He Quanming although had been beaming with smiles during the feast, after arriving few hundred meters away from the Cheng residence, their faces turned grave.

Everybody knew that one of the reasons Lin family sent people and even delivered such a gift was to exhibit their strength. Henceforth, anyone who wished to fight Cheng family must consider Jadeting’s Lin family’s existence first.

This was indeed an enormously tyrannous clan. Perhaps they would not interfere in Tai Cang county’s trivial affairs, but when the matter would concern the destruction of the Cheng family, they would not just sit and watch.

As the two brothers thought how Cheng family indescribably managed to obtain such a strong a.s.sistance, their hearts turned heavy.

Silent along the whole journey, upon returning back to the clan, He Quanxin commanded everybody to rest and opted not to discuss Cheng family’s matter before returning and informing his father.

Even in the county town, the young generation had independent residences for them.

After entering his room, He Yiming immediately blew off the lamp and laid down on the bed with his clothes on. After a short while, as the activity outside died, he quietly opened the door and left.

His actions were exceedingly limited, and he specifically avoided the residences of his elders, so that n.o.body could discover him.

He gently climbed over the wall and went to the woodshed where he dumped the corpse before.

As he expected, n.o.body could be seen at such a time. Not daring to delay even a second, He Yiming grabbed the corpse and dashed away as fast as he could, aiming for the outskirts of the city.

Although he didn’t have a superior agility technique, relying on his formidable Internal Energy, covering the long distance was not a problem.

Soon, he found himself in a mountain woods. He dug out a hole and buried the corpse. After settling the last heap of dust, he pondered for a few moments and decided to give his respects to the signless tomb in front of him.

After accomplis.h.i.+ng all this, he felt relaxed as he hurriedly returned home following the same path.

Although he crossed over the city wall two times, in He Yiming’s opinion, such a low wall simply wasn’t an inconvenience. He was only slightly apprehensive of the guards that occasionally patrolled on the city wall.

However, these guards all had sleepy faces and even their eyes seemed half closed. He even doubted that if he walked past them, they might ignore him even after spotting him.

By the time he returned back to the clan, the color of the sky had already brightened. As he closed the door and laid down on the bed, he heard the voices of his eldest uncle and others.

He Yiming, as if having a spring under his feet, jumped from the bed and hurriedly ate breakfast. His eldest uncle, Yitian, Yihai left for the manor

While he, his elder brother, and younger sister grabbed the rare opportunity and remained with their parents. He Quanxin gave them special permission to stay a few more days.

The days when the whole family got together were extremely rare. He Yiming also set aside everything that occupied his mind and enjoyed the familial love and joy with his parents and siblings.

At night, everybody left for their residences.

After returning to his room, He Yiming eventually brought out the things he had received from the black-clothed man.

As compared to the former times, he was much calmer this time. This was also the reason he was able to suppress his curiosity and waited until this moment to examine his harvests.

The black-clothed man naturally wasn’t short of money on him. However, this was actually not what He Yiming was concerned about.

Apart from the money, He Yiming found three tiny bottles. These bottles seemed to be carved out of some jewel. They didn’t seem much expensive, but were quite st.u.r.dy. Even if one accidently dropped one of these on the floor, it would not break easily.

In addition, there was a book. He Yiming opened it. It actually explained about how to change one’s appearance; the Appearance Altering technique.

He Yiming didn’t know whether the methods mentioned in the book were good, but they seemed extremely rare. He Yiming had never heard about such appearance changing techniques before. Some techniques even mentioned the use of herbs. If the words written in the book were true, the worth of this book couldn’t be too shabby.

After sorting out these things, He Yiming eventually picked up the object he was most concerned about.

It was, of course, the object wrapped in the used oilskin. He carefully unfolded the cloth. It was indeed a copied scripture.

He Yiming’s emotions slightly stirred as he opened the first page. On the top, two big words could be seen; Blaze Technique.

He Yiming’s wrist slightly trembled, almost dropping the book, while his heart palpitated.

Prior to this moment, he never expected that this book could contain this technique. His complexion changed countless times instantaneously as joy flooded his insides.

He was quite fortunate to have waited this long before taking a look at this book. If he had hurriedly looked at this book yesterday, his face would have certainly betrayed his emotions; thus, attracting the attention of others.
