Chapter 59 - The Mysterious Young Man
Seeing his constantly changing expression, Teng Yu's depressed mood finally eased up a little. He coughed dryly, “Alright, get to the point, the emperor will probably summon you tomorrow, let Han Sen teach you some simple court etiquette in a bit.”
“Not learning.” Yin Xu retorted without thinking. He had no interest in learning the etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing.
“...” “To see His Majesty in person, no matter how ignorant you are, you still have to kneel before him. Don't tell me you're talking about kneeling before your parents, unless you don't want to enter the palace.”
Yin Xu felt a little awkward, “Then I won't be going.”
Logically speaking, Demon Lord was also a model of power, even though he had knelt before when he was weak, it was still a bit unacceptable for him to kneel to a mere mortal.
Teng Yu facepalmed, thinking with a headache: He definitely found a way to cause trouble and came back.
“Listen up, even if Huo Zhengquan were to enter the palace, there is no reason for him not to kneel to a Sovereign King. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com
Yin Xu nodded with difficulty and replied, “Depends on my mood.” Teng Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
“I think that Royal Father is really suspicious of Teng Yi this time. I heard that a few officials of the Yun Family faction were cut down, and that Royal Father allowed Teng Ji to enter the Military Department. It is clear that he has intentions of nurturing Teng Yi.”
“He wants to change heirs?”
If my guess is correct, Yun Family will only be tidied up when he's on the verge of death, so that Teng Yi won't have a difficult time ascending to the throne in the future. “
“What a long way to go.”
“This is a must. How can I not be an emperor with foresight?”
“That's why being a mortal is so tiring.” Yin Xu muttered.
Teng Yu smiled, but did not think much about it. He said: “Although my Yun Family has lost a few people this time, they are unable to injure my core, and in the short term, they should be targeting Teng Ji. I was just carrying it along.”
Thanks to his years of hard work, he had slandered himself into the appearance of a hateful person. However, this reputation of being “mud on the wall” had brought him a lot of convenience.
“Then let them fight with each other. You can just be the fisherman.”
“Right now we can, but this is not a long-term plan. It's impossible for us to not leave behind traces when we want to expand our forces. There will be a day when we will be discovered.”
“Isn't that just right? You also need to change your image. Otherwise, even if all of the royal family's disciples die, no one will support you in your position.”
“You're right.” Teng Yu looked at him with praise, and said: “But now is not the time. Royal Father's health is good, with him here, the moment we discover that I have been lying to him all these years, the consequences will be severe.”
“You mean ...?” Yin Xu was sure that he heard a thick sense of conspiracy.
Teng Yu lowered his head, stroked the paperweight on the desk, and muttered to himself: “This piece of paperweight was given to me by my mother when I was five. I still remember what she said at that time, telling me to study hard and become an enlightened ruler in the future. There has to be someone who has a grudge or revenge to complain about. “
Yin Xu's face revealed a pleased look, he nodded: How is it?
“From where?” Teng Yu took a deep breath, he finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at Yin Xu with a sense of surprise.
“You don't have to worry about that. You only have to answer whether you want it or not. Your chants only have the first two layers, and I have the last two layers as well.” Yin Xu leaned back and rested his legs on the desk, smiling like a little fox.
Teng Yu carefully laid the paper flat on the ground and asked in a serious tone, “Tell me, what do you want to exchange this for?”
Yin Xu blurted out, “The permanent residence of the Third Prince Mansion!”
“...” “What?” No matter how calm and composed Teng Yu was, he was dumbstruck at this moment. He felt that his ten-odd years of experience had once again been refreshed by this youth.
“Did you not hear it clearly?” I want your right to live here, permanently! ” Yin Xu tiptoed and fiddled with the pen holder on the desk, his expression serious.
“Are you joking?”
Yin Xu rolled his eyes and answered the question with his eyes.
Teng Yu held back his laughter, and his face revealed a strange expression, “Just this? It's not like I'm going to chase you away.
“That's different. Now that I've paid the rent, I'm no longer a customer.”
Teng Yu felt that he would never see such a cute and foolish person in his life, using the famous Flame Yang Spell to pay the rent? And only Yin Xu could think of such a thing!
If these chants were auctioned off, not to mention a prince's mansion, even the royal palace would be able to buy half of them.
Teng Yu suddenly had the feeling that a pie dropped from the sky had coincidentally struck him.
“Change it to something else, I don't want to take advantage of you.” Teng Yu said rather sincerely.
Yin Xu glanced at him gloomily, “Didn't you already take advantage of me? This thing is useless to me, so I might as well leave it with you. “
“Huo Family... Do you know? ” Teng Yu was not afraid of this thing burning, but if Huo Family knew that this thing was in Yin Xu's hands, they would have to take precautions.
“I don't know. As long as you don't leak it, no one will know.” Yin Xu said full of confidence.
“Then the last two levels ...”
Yin Xu lowered his leg, leaned forward, grabbed Teng Yu's neck and bit him hard, leaving behind two words: “Watch your performance!”
It was only until Teng Yu felt a pinch on his face that he was sure that he was not dreaming, but had truly obtained the inheritance treasure of the Huo Family — — Flame Yang Spell. This thing had been coveted by the emperor for who knows how many years, yet it was so easily taken away by him? And he didn't have to pay any price!
Really ... This was too unbelievable!
Teng Yu's fiery gaze landed on Yin Xu's face, and he felt that this youth was an even more mysterious existence!
