Chapter 244 - You Have Such a Big Face

Yin Xu stayed in the palace until deep into the night, when the emperor finally advised him to go back and properly teach the five children.

It was also at this time that Yin Xu remembered that he had been forced to accept five more prospective disciples.

The moment Yin Xu walked out of the palace gates, he saw Teng Yu leaning on the carriage. It was not even summer yet and the night was a little cold, so Teng Yu had already draped the cloak he brought along with him.

“Why didn't you go back first?” Yin Xu felt that he was being warmly surrounded and asked in an amiable tone. He was not used to being escorted around by others as a person.

“Afraid that you will walk alone in the dark.” Teng Yu pulled him into the car and handed him a bowl of hot wontons.

Yin Xu rolled his elegant eyes, smelling the fragrant wonton belly began to cooed.

“Royal Father is getting more and more petty. He's called you in yet you're not going to prepare anything to eat?” Teng Yu touched Yin Xu's flat belly in pain, urging him to eat faster.

“It looks like you know your Royal Father quite well, and you even know how to prepare midnight snacks for me.” Yin Xu drank a mouthful of soup, the fragrance was rich and the temperature was moderate, it must have been specially made in the palace to send it over.

He scooped up a wonton and placed it next to Teng Yu's mouth, smiling as he said, “We share good fortune.”

Teng Yu did not stand on ceremony and took the spoon in his hand. The two of them finished the whole bowl of wontons in one bite, without even the soup remaining.

“He didn't make things difficult for you, right?”

“No, what's there to be embarrassed about? I helped him remove the hidden danger called the Duke of Qin, so he should be thanking me instead.”

Teng Yu caressed his face, tsk-tsk. “Your face is really big!” He dared to be grateful for the service of the imperial family. In his previous life, this person had grown up in who knows where.

“I just asked around. The Duke of Qin has been placed under house arrest. His wife and concubine have already been executed, and his son is being held in another place. It looks like the emperor doesn't plan on taking their lives for now.”

“Why did he keep these people?” Yin Xu thought that the Emperor would send these people to Caishikou and execute them immediately. After all, he could tell that the Emperor had a deep hatred for the Duke of Qin.

If the Duke of Qin had simply rebelled, then it would have been fine. But he had colluded with the emperor's trusted aides to drug him. This would have been a huge issue.

“Who knows? Maybe it was left to torture.” Teng Yu shrugged his shoulders, not paying much attention to it. The Emperor had been in power for many years, if he wanted to keep a watch on a single person, no one could think of saving him.

However, he thought that the reason why the emperor kept the Duke of Qin was because he wanted to get something from him. Otherwise, it would be too unlike his style.

“What about the Second Prince?” Yin Xu had not heard the Emperor mention this son of his. Compared to the Duke of Qin, this son of his had probably given him a huge blow.

“Him? There is no other way than death. ” Second Prince's actions were already a model of disloyalty, it was impossible for his to live.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Yin Xu jumped off the carriage and looked at the sealed Second Prince Palace, it was so cold that there was not even a hint of light at all. When the news of the Second Prince defecting to the Duke of Qin arrived, the Emperor killed all the servants in the prince's mansion, even the Yang family had nine generations of people within him, over a thousand lives were lost due to a decision of the Second Prince.

Yin Xu thought, in the heart of the Second Prince, these people were definitely not important, but as long as he had a little bit of loyalty in his heart, he would not ignore them.

Teng Yu naturally did not believe it. Previously, this person was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, and after being interrogated in the palace for a few hours, it would be strange if he could not fall asleep.

But what was there to look at in the backyard at night? Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, and thought about the tree that Yin Xu was so precious to.

The two walked forward, one in the front and the other in the back. Following behind the lanterns wearing guards, they soon arrived at the place Yin Xu wanted to go.

He waved his hand to signal the guards to leave. Although the backyard was not a forbidden area, it wasn't a place that just anyone could enter.

Yin Xu walked around the tree twice with eyes full of surprise.

“Isn't this growing too fast?”

“I've asked the overseer. There are some trees that grow really fast. What's more, don't you use some sort of formation? You can understand if your tree grows faster than any other tree.”

Yin Xu shook his head and did not say anything. In Cultivation World, the growth of the Fruit Tree was definitely not that fast.

Before reaching a clear conclusion, Yin Xu did not have much hope nor disappointment. It was just that occasionally thinking about having a descendant like him or Teng Yu would cause his heart to surge a little.

Yin Xu changed a piece of the Jade Stone that had no spirit energy, picked a leaf from the tree, and started chewing on it.

Seeing his actions, Teng Yu felt that the air around him had suddenly become fresh and pleasing. It must be the effect of the formation.

“What smell?” Teng Yu also picked a few leaves and chewed them. Other than the faint bitterness and flavor, there was nothing special about the taste.

Seeing that he was about to vomit, Yin Xu immediately covered his mouth, “Swallow it.”

Teng Yu did not understand, but he still followed the instructions. After he swallowed the leaf, Yin Xu told him to try circulating his Qi.

Teng Yu still did as he was told, a wave of Profound Spirit Qi that was even more fiery than before flowed through the meridians in his body, but the time was too short, so he was unable to feel the difference.

“This tree can increase my power?” Teng Yu asked curiously.

“The fruit can be used, but the effects of the leaves are only slightly inconspicuous. You can try it again when the results are out.” It was the day where he didn't know if Teng Yu would be able to see the results.

Teng Yu did not know that this thing had such miraculous uses, “Since it's such a good thing, then I will send more people to look for it.

Yin Xu patted the dirt on his palms and nodded: Do as you wish.

“Oh yeah, I'm preparing to call Wang Ren back. He should have had enough fun on the mountain.”

Teng Yu really wanted to retort: “Did that brat go to the mountain to play?” What did you call him back for? “

Yin Xu tapped the leaves in front of him, and said with a deep meaning: “After all he's my disciple, I have to teach him something, if not, this master of mine will not fulfill his duty.”

Yin Xu thought: If that brat doesn't come back, who will take care of this tree? You can't let me take care of it, can you?
