C7 (1/2)

Hong Yu was completely unaware of Old Eighth and Old Twenty-Nine's collusion. In the past three days, he had been consolidating his realm and adapting to the tremendous growth in his body. His cultivation progressed at a tremendous pace and even his temperament underwent a great change.

His aura was like a peerless battle spear, brimming with sharpness as he swept it in front of him.

Hong Yu walked with his hands behind his back, continuously pondering in his heart. Little Chunzi was carrying a large pile of clothes as he walked behind him. Although his steps were strenuous, his face was brimming with joy.

He and Haruko had just returned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with Dong Yi, and were heading for their own quarters.

Hong Yu was a prince, the son of the Celestial Emperor. Every month, the imperial government would allocate a sum of money to the Internal Affairs Bureau for distribution to the princes as monthly salary.

The princes who had the powerful clans and powers backing them felt nothing but contempt towards these things. Compared to the ordinary expenses, these things could not even be considered a drop in the bucket.

However, to a prince like Hong Yu, who had no one to support and no one to rely on, these things seemed especially important.

In the past, when he was pretending to be stupid, not only did his brothers look down on him in name, but even the eunuchs bullied him, and every month's case was heavily restricted. In fact, even in the late afternoon of the third month, not a single cotton garment was thrown down, and his clothes were not as thick as those of those eunuchs.

Everyone in the palace knew that he, Hong Yu, was just pretending to be crazy and play the fool, but the truth was that he was very secretive. The little eunuchs no longer dared to restrain his monthly tribute, so he went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to collect his winter clothes.

However, these principles were extremely simple. A foolish prince was ignorant and had yet to fully open his mind. No one would think that he was a threat and no one would care about it. In fact, everyone would think that he was weak and could be bullied.

However, one day, he suddenly said that the silly prince was just pretending to be crazy and was patiently enduring. Everyone would probably feel a sense of vigilance akin to 'five years of patience'.

According to the history books, the princes and aristocrats of the lower tier were to grind their teeth and grind their fangs against one another for three years. There were countless number of amazing feats.

Those eunuchs and palace maids that were brought up in the palace were all as crafty as devils and were adept at human affairs. As long as they thought for a moment, Hong Yu would even dare to kill the beloved dog of the 29th Prince.

However, if he revealed his background, there would be advantages and disadvantages. From now on, he would no longer be able to live in peace. All the princes and the various powers behind them would view him as a great enemy.

Hong Yu was currently in his mind, constantly weighing the pros and cons as he calculated his future path.

”Mistress, you've suddenly revealed your wisdom, it's like setting off ten thousand waves in a calm lake and completely messing up the situation in the palace.” Mistress, you've suddenly revealed your wisdom, it's like setting off ten thousand waves in a calm lake, completely disrupting the situation in the palace.

Little Chun Zi looked at Hong Yu's scrunched up eyebrows and continued to explain, ”However, Master has saved my life before. We two grew up together, master and servant. They don't understand our feelings, so I didn't leak out any of it!”

”Hmm? ”There's actually such a thing?” Hong Yu's eyes turned cold when he heard this. The aura of his entire body turned cold as the golden lance particles within his body suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura, scaring Little Chun into trembling.

He felt that his master's power was getting more and more unfathomable. He raised his hand and raised his foot, and between his brows, there seemed to be a decisive mass of iron blood. It was like a treasured blade that had been drawn out of its scabbard and dyed in blood.

Hong Yu's eyes flashed and he nodded his head: ”I know, in the future, if someone else takes out anything to tempt you to find out more about me, just take them and reveal some insignificant information to them. We are lacking in resources right now, so we will not refuse anything that comes our way.”

”Mistress, do you mean for me to take the money and not do anything, or just tell them the fake news?” Little Chunzi immediately understood what Hong Yu meant.

”Mn, not bad. We don't want the money that will be sent to our doorstep for nothing. Anyway, those people are quite well-off and do not lack the things that they gave you.” Hong Yu nodded and let out a light laugh. ”We want to show that the enemy is weak and continue to spread false information so that they won't be able to find out what is going on. That way, we can secretly accumulate information and prepare for me to participate in the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony and break through to the martial realm.”

”Mistress is wise!” Little Chunzi flattered him without leaving a trace, and as if he had thought of something, he continued, ”Master, today is the third day. On the side of the Central Academy, Young Fu and Wei Zheng are still waiting for you to turn in and confiscate them. What do you think?”

When Hong Yu heard this, he calculated for a while: ”Humph, Wei Zheng, that old fool, asking me to index this big part of the martial arts list and copy it a thousand times in three days, he's obviously trying to find a excuse to humiliate me in front of me. It would be foolish of me to come knocking on his door and humiliate myself.

I won't rush to see him. Wait until I participate in the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony and obtain the martial arts imprint, then I will become a true martial artist. Not to mention him, even I will not be afraid of Fourth Brother who is standing behind him.

As he spoke, the master and the servant walked to the northwest corner of the palace.

To the south was the harem where the emperor, Hong Po Ji, and a group of nobles lived. The place was high and had excellent lighting, while the northwest corner was a place where the lowliest eunuchs and maids lived. Because the terrain was low, a large amount of water would be piled up here every time it rained or snowed.

This was definitely the most remote place within the Imperial Palace. The eunuchs and maids with even a bit of status would not appear in the northwest corner of the palace, but the place where Hong Yu lived happened to be located in the northwest corner.

At this moment, if he wanted to return to the manor, he had no choice but to pass by.

From this, it could be seen that Hong Yu's status was even inferior to those favored servants.
