C5 – Peel off a Layer of Their Skin

Young Master Chen unwillingly knelt on the ground, his waist was very straight, he did not have any intention to kowtow, not only that, he even took the chance when County Magistrate Chen was not paying attention to him, and fiercely glared at Yin Xu.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Yin Xu stared at the pair of round eyes for a while, and recalled the spirit pet he had tamed. It was a young, young leopard that liked to stare at him like this before taming, as if it wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Since young master Chen is unwilling to let it go, it’s a good thing that I don’t have any missing arms or legs. It’s just that I’ve suffered a little, so I’ve lost a little flesh.

County Magistrate Chen rolled his eyes. He hurriedly took a step forward and kowtowed to his eldest son, then clasped his hands and said: “No wonder Seventh Young Master has lost so much weight. There are even some top-grade Blood Swallows in the Residence of lower officials.

Yin Xu accepted it indifferently, then got up and said: “County Magistrate Chen is very busy, this young master’s Huo Family is so poor that it has nothing to welcome, so I will not keep any food here.”

“I dare not, I will take my leave now.” After County Magistrate Chen finished speaking, he pulled his son’s hand and quickly left.

In less than four hours, a horse carriage had stopped outside the Huo Family Manor. It said that it had come under the orders of the county governor to deliver a gift.

This time, County Magistrate Chen really gave him a huge sum of money. Other than two packs of top quality Blood Swallows, there was also a ginseng that had been here for hundreds of years, a huge pile of food and clothes. Furthermore, he gave County Magistrate Chen a hundred silver taels as compensation.

Yin Xu made the dumbstruck Wu Sheng bring the things into the warehouse, Xue Yan and the ginseng were brought into the kitchen, and the silver was kept by the butler.

When the things were done, Old Housekeeper still acted like he was dreaming. From time to time he would go into the warehouse to take a look, or touch the silver bills on his chest, his face flushed red.

From a Demon Elder with supreme authority and power to a useless trash that had nothing at all, Yin Xu could not accept this kind of change. After losing his goal of a thousand years, he suddenly did not know where to go.

The moon outside the window was bright and clear. In the past, this hour was the best time for him to cultivate. But now, he could only stare blankly at the moon, completely bored out of his mind.

After getting off the bed, Yin Xu walked around the room, found a toy bow and a dagger that was made from an unknown amount of years, and went out to take a breather.

“Young Master, it’s so late. Are you going out?” Old Housekeeper quickly stopped them.

“Mm, let’s go for a walk. You don’t need to follow me.”

“This... Let Little Wu follow you. ” In the event that he encountered another bad person who was bullying his young master, at least one of them would be able to block him.

“No need, even useless people will be a burden if they follow us!” Yin Xu went around him and left directly. Behind them, Wu Sheng was like a dejected eggplant, his face dejected.

He also knew that he knew nothing other than how to work, that no one taught him in this remote manor, and that no one had ever wanted him to learn anything before.

Wu Sheng bit his lips, contemplated for a moment, then asked loudly: “Uncle Wu, tomorrow, can you bring up the matter with young master, and invite a coach here?”

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?” If you knew a bit of martial arts, you would be able to protect the young master.

The more Old Housekeeper thought about it, the more he felt that this proposal was better. He touched the silver bills on his chest and lamented, “This is still not hot enough, I’ll have to spend it.”
