C12 (1/2)

The sky darkened as the day passed.

Hong Yu and Xiaochun Zi finally returned to the palace.

At this moment, as they walked within the palace, both master and servant could sense the tension in the air. Many eunuchs and servants hurriedly walked about, and some guards even looked on warily.

Some of the court ladies looked at Hong Yu and Hong Yu's figures and distanced themselves from them as if they were avoiding some savage beast. They pointed at the backs of the two and whispered to each other.

”Something big has happened in our palace! Do you know? At noon, the Emperor came out of seclusion. With a loud roar, he rushed into the ninth heaven. The entire Hongjing City was shocked by the strange phenomenon, scaring my little heart out! ” An old palace maid spoke vividly, her tone low and her face filled with lingering fear.

”Isn't that so!?” I heard that inside the shrine, the lamp of longevity had been extinguished. To my surprise, it turned out that the 29th Prince had perished, causing the Emperor to be furious. It is said that when the lamp of longevity was extinguished, the image transmitted over indicated that it was that foolish prince who did it! ” A palace maid even pointed at Hong Yu's back as she asserted.

”I heard that the foolish prince has always been hiding in seclusion and has a strong will. Previously, when he killed the dog of the 29th Prince, he revealed his wisdom, and now, he is highly regarded by the Ninth Master. Someone saw that the Ninth Master met with the foolish prince and gave him his secret plate, so the foolish prince was able to leave the palace and meet the 29th Prince outside and kill him!”

Right, right now, there are many princes who are secretly asking about the news of the foolish prince. Many secrets that he does not know about have been dug out, and some people saw him practicing martial arts in his own courtyard.

”Just watch, he has caused a huge mess! The noble Mu Family, the one hundred years old family, is standing behind the 29th prince, and their strength is unfathomable. Once the wrath of the heavens is brought down, he will definitely die a miserable death!”

”Not necessarily! After all, the person standing behind a fool was one of the Eight Dukes, Ninth Lord. If Ninth Lord wanted to protect him, the Mu Family had no choice but to swallow their anger! However, we still have to stay away from him. Otherwise, if we get involved, we're done for! ”

”You're right, I just saw the twenty-eight princes in the courtyard of the foolish prince. They say that they want to avenge their younger brother. They won't leave until the foolish prince returns!”

”Pui!” Idiot! ”Idiot!” A servant scolded: ”Facing the 28th prince, an expert of the Spiritual Martial Force, he is basically a dead end! Moreover, even if he is killed, no one will be able to pick a fight with him. After all, the twenty-eight princes are taking revenge for their younger brother. ”

Some of these servants were taking pleasure in Hong Yu's misfortune, while others were afraid that they had bullied him before and were afraid that he would investigate this matter. Some of them even cursed Hong Yu harshly, wishing that he would be killed immediately by the twenty-eighth prince.

Upon hearing this, Little Chunzi immediately turned around with a face full of brutality. His gaze was as sharp as a wolf's as he swept his eyes over the servants one by one.

”Oh my god, I know him. He's Xiao Chunzi, the personal eunuch by the fool's side. I've bullied him quite a few times in the past. ”I never thought that he would be a martial arts master now. Just a glance from him is enough to scare me to the point that I almost wet my pants!”

”This is called ascension of one man into the heavens. If the foolish prince reveals his wisdom, he will definitely do everything in his power to help the loyal servants.”

”...”

When the group of servants saw the terrifying wolf-like eyes of Little Chun Zi, they immediately went silent in fright. Their bodies trembled non-stop as they scattered in all directions.

Hong Yu and Little Chun Zi had long since changed. Their hearing was astonishing, and all their discussions were unable to escape their ears.

Hong Yu had been hibernating for five years and his ability to nurture his Qi was top-notch. He had simply not taken their discussions seriously at all.

Listening to their discussion, he wanted his master to vent his anger, to fight against the injustice, to display the might of the Heavenly Wolf, and to destroy the mental defenses of this group of servants with just a glance!

”Master, these eunuchs, how dare they talk about master so brazenly, how hateful! If I were to meet them in the dark, I would definitely whip them. I would want to cut off their tongues so that they would never be able to speak again. ” Looking at their fleeing figures, Little Chunzi's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, as if he was still indignant about what had happened.

”Don't be so extreme, learn to see the essence through appearances! They're talking about me, and that's a good thing. ”

When Hong Yu heard this, he had a thoughtful expression: ”In the past, even though we were bullied, we still kept our heads down. But now that I have revealed my wisdom, I have become stronger and more cowardly than before. I even killed old 29! It could be said that he attracted the attention of many forces in one fell swoop, and even my royal father started to notice me. Only when everyone thought I was not enough of a threat, would they look down on me.

Hong Yu was able to discern many things from the discussion of the group of servants that were extremely sensitive to the situation.

Even now, the Celestial Emperor Hongwu had yet to truly convict him of anything. It was still unclear how the matter developed as the palace was filled with complicated matters. Compared to him, the eighth brother of the Mu Clan, who was behind 29 years old, was the true target of fear for the princes.

Right now, Old 29 had fallen. Many people would speak up for him and beat up a drowning dog.

”Mistress, please consider carefully!” ”However, I still feel that the palace is very scary, that every action will attract the attention of others, that Master's cultivation technique, and even that Master's meeting with the Ninth Master and being rewarded with a tablet, these secrets can all be dug out by others, and that those servant spies are everywhere.”

”No matter, if I suddenly reveal my strength, others will think that it's because Ninth Brother helped me in the dark. On the contrary, it wouldn't cause people to become wary and impeach me for cultivating demonic arts.” Hong Yu waved his hand. ”These things are seen by others and are beneficial to us. Everyone will feel that one of the eight great dukes, Ninth Brother, is standing behind us.”

He suddenly turned from a fool into an expert of the 4th level of the Mortal Martial Arts. He even killed the elder of the 29th level who had the strength of the Sky Wolf. It had already attracted the attention of many people.

However, the appearance of Ol 'Nine was enough to explain a lot of suspicious points.

It was a good thing that he was labeled as the 'Ninth Party'. In the name of Old Nine, he could slowly accumulate strength by surviving through the cracks. As long as he could escape from this crisis, he would be able to soar into the sky after the Martial Arts Ceremony.

Moreover, Ol 'Nine had said that he would help him once. That way, it would definitely not expose his relationship with him, and might even help him to escape danger once and for all.

As they thought about this, the master and the servant swept away the gloom in their hearts. Their steps became lighter, and their faces became spirited.
