Chapter 253 - Mental Power Rune (2/2)

Hu Yicheng and Scholar Xu could not help but smile bitterly when they looked at each other.

They vaguely had a hunch when Ou Yangming requested to purchase those unique items earlier. Nevertheless, they did not expect the young fellow to carry out a test in this place. They wondered, ‘Isn’t he afraid that news will spread?

‘He should know that we’re not the only ones staying at this inn.’

Before long, excited people walked out and discussed it.

Scholar Xu instantly signaled with his eyes so that many cavaliers would join the crowd and express their shock.

Fortunately, the inn was not a place where hidden talents could be found. Since there were no martial artists who were above Yin Grade, the crowd could not identify the power’s source.

The next morning, Hu Yicheng and his people left early, leaving an incomprehensible legendary story at the inn, whose business ended up increasing by more than 30%.

Hu Yicheng and Scholar Xu entered Ou Yangming’s carriage. Seeing as they were hesitant to speak, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “What do you want to do?” “Brother Ou, did you ask us to purchase the special paper and brush yesterday to refine a rune?” Hu Yicheng asked embarra.s.sedly.

Ou Yangming was cheerful, and he knew he could not hide it from them, thus he answered, “Yes, I studied it for the whole night, and I finally gained something.” Hu Yicheng’s eyes lit up. He straightened his chest and a.s.sured the young fellow. “Brother Ou, can you sell a few runes to me? I won’t let you suffer a loss!”

“Big Brother Hu, if someone asks you where the runes came from, how are you going to answer?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought.

Hu Yicheng was dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

Previously, they promised that they would never talk about this matter. If they possessed the unique runes and used them, would that not mean that they were exposing it?

That said, they were unwilling to give up the treasure when it was right in front of their eyes.

Scholar Xu’s eyes wandered about, then he stated, “Young Ou, Brother Hu encountered a peculiar person when he carried out an inspection outside. The person became good friends with Brother Hu, and they had such an enjoyable conversation that the person gave Brother Hu three rune drawings before he left. What do you think?”

Hu Yicheng’s eyes became bright, and he looked at Ou Yangming with extreme eagerness.

“Okay, that’ll do,” Ou Yangming replied to the scholar with a smile, then he added after a pause, “But a huge consumption is needed for me to draw runes, so I’ll pa.s.s them to Big Brother Hu after we enter the capital.”

Hu Yicheng was elated, and he quickly expressed his grat.i.tude.

They initially did not have wild thoughts for the runes, but Ou Yangming released the power twice consecutively in a day, and it was obvious that he drew a rune during the second time. This was why the inspector and the scholar were moved, but they were not greedy, so they were content after they managed to ask for three drawings.

As Ou Yangming urged, the convoy traveled fast and arrived at the capital.

This was the Wu Dynasty’s capital city, where the walls around were nearly 16 meters tall. Not to mention a normal person, even a mighty spirit beast or an ordinary Yang Grade martial artist could not climb over it.

Since Hu Yicheng was an inspector, other than the capital, he had access to anywhere in the world, where even the officials in charge of the different counties had to treat him with respect. Nonetheless, his status seemed insignificant at the capital.

In fact, the convoy was spot-checked when they entered the gate, but Hu Yicheng and the other people were already used to it.

Hu Yicheng immediately explained when he noticed the strange look in Ou Yangming’s eyes, “Brother Ou, this is the capital, so it’s expected that the check is stricter.”

Ou Yangming nodded. He watched as the inspection was completed, then they entered the city together.

Sir Hu had a different look on his face once he entered the city. It was as if he carried a graceful blessing.

He laughed out loud and expressed, “After leaving the capital for a year and a half, I’m finally back.”

The other people around him were full of emotions too, but they appeared to be overjoyed.

Scholar Xu cleared his throat and reminded Hu Yicheng, Brother Hu, don’t forget about our proper business.”

Hu Yicheng stopped right away and said, “You’re right, Let’s send the materials to Master Wu’s residence first as it’s our priority.” Ou Yangming was struck dumb when he realized that instead of reporting to the government office, the inspector visited a blacksmith master first when he returned. It seemed like Master Wu Hongxi—the Fine Grade King—was not an ordinary figure.

With that, the convoy traveled slowly in the city and entered the never-ending stream of people.
