About this ebook

Yin Xu was the most talented demonic cultivator in history. Once he failed his tribulation and became a mortal, he was still a reputed good-for-nothing.

But so what if he was born useless? I'm cultivating a demonic art!

So what if he couldn't ascend? I am still above everyone else.

Under this man …

Yin Xu said, "Next time, I want to be up there!"

Teng Yong replied, "Sure, if you don't want to pick the sun to replenish your yin energy."

Yin Xu said, "Then forget it, my demonic arts are more important."

    CHAPTER 101 - CATACLYSM

    After Huo Yiloong escaped Yin Xu, he went into the deep mountains. He had investigated beforehand, and knew that as long as he didn't enter the deep forest, there wouldn't be much of a risk.

    There were not many monks out there, and many animals ran into the depths after being frightened. That was why he didn't want to fight with others on the outskirts.

    Leading his horse by himself, Huo Yiloong traversed the forest quickly.

    This time, everyone only shot a quiver of 50 arrows, Huo Yiloong reckoned that he would definitely get first place with a hundred arrows.

    His opponent this time was only a group of youths around the same age, and the situation was much better than he had expected.

    Roar … A brown bear appeared in his line of sight. He wondered if it was following the scent of blood.

    You came at the right time! Huo Yiloong looked at the other party's sturdy body that was as tall as himself standing up, and excitedly licked his lips.

    He counted the remaining arrows. There were still eight left, which was enough to take care of this big stupid bear.

    He slapped the horse hard on the bottom and pushed it aside. Then he pulled out an arrow and nocked it, aiming for the brown bear that was dashing toward him.

    Aiming the arrow at its eyes, Huo Yiloong suddenly let go of the bow and released a sharp arrow, which released a sound of wind.

    Sensing danger, the brown bear leaped forward to avoid the arrow.

    Huo Yiloong's brows twitched, He's quite sensitive, but unfortunately he met me! He pulled out another arrow and nocked it. This time, he did not aim too meticulously. Instead, he shot out an arrow at random.

    Without waiting for the arrow to land, Huo Yiloong swiftly pulled out three arrows and nocked them. In a flash, he shot out, and flew towards the brown bear in three different directions.

    Roar … A furious roar shook all of the trees around them. Huo Yiloong's arrow had hit the enemy's forelimbs.

    This result was somewhat out of Huo Yiloong's expectations, Good fellow, you really have some skill.

    Looking at the brown bear that was rushing towards him, Huo Yiloong did not fight back. Instead, he jumped up onto a big tree and shot out another arrow.

    The arrow pierced into the bear's body and the bear had already crashed into the large tree he was standing on. Huo Yiloong jumped onto another tree in the midst of the shock.

    Just like that, the man and the bear started to play a game of chase in the forest. Huo Yiloong admired the bear's stamina very much.

    As the last arrow was nocked, Huo Yiloong was not careless this time. Instead, he aimed at the center of its forehead and calculated the time. After releasing his hand, he watched as the arrow shot towards the direction he had planned for.

    Roar … With the last roar, the brown bear finally fell. Huo Yiloong waited on the tree for a while before he went to retrieve its corpse.

    Looking at his empty quiver, Huo Yiloong kicked the corpse on the ground, With you, I will definitely be first in this hunt!

    However, he knew that there were a lot of people waiting outside for meat to eat, so he put all the prey together and covered it up with a tree branch. When he returned, he would call his guards to come and carry it away, and he would let them see the power of his Huo Family descendant.

    Turning around to look for the horse that ran away due to fright, Huo Yiloong wondered: If it was his father's lion steed, would it have been scared away so easily?

    Following the footprints to the east, Huo Yiloong silently calculated his gains, feeling extremely confident in himself.

    Hmph, he didn't believe that there would be someone in the team who would hunt more prey than he did!

    Hearing the shrill cry of a horse from far away, Huo Yiloong's heart tightened, Not good! Could it be that the prey on the horse lured the beast out?

    He should have thought that there would actually be a blind bear. Naturally, there would be other ferocious beasts that would appear as well.

    He quickened his steps and dashed towards the source of the sound. By the time he reached the place, it was already too late. A pack of wild wolves were nibbling on the corpses on the ground.

    Huo Yiloong saw that half of the fruits of his hard work had fallen into the wolf's stomach, his eyes were so red that it seemed like blood was going to drip out.

    Bastard! Huo Yiloong grabbed a tree beside him and threw it at the wolves! Daring to steal my spoils, you're courting death!

    The wolves were scattered by the falling trees, then quickly retreated ten meters away, hesitating whether to attack or not.

    The temptation of the food on the ground was too great. It was rare to find so much food in such a cold winter.

    More than a dozen wolves gathered together and gave Huo Yiloong a threatening howl, and then carefully moved closer to the food step by step.

    Huo Yiloong pulled out the dagger he brought along with him, similarly eyeing the wolves covetously. There was not much time left, there was not enough time for him to find more prey.

    It's not scary to face a single wolf, but facing a pack of wolves, he can't afford to be careless. Wolves are a classic example of teamwork. Their combat prowess isn't as simple as one plus one equals two.

    Huo Yiloong calculated the probability of his success and discovered that unless he had a bow and arrow in his hand, it was very unlikely for him to fight against more than ten wolves in close combat.

    Gritting his teeth, he grabbed his dagger and jumped up. He grabbed a tree branch and swung it above the wolf pack. Then, he loosened his grip and kicked at the nearest wolf. At the same time, his dagger stabbed towards the back of a wolf.

    After being hit by Huo Yiloong's attack, the wolves were forced to scatter. Their eyes turned red from the stimulation of the blood, and they surrounded Huo Yiloong with their fangs bared.

    Huo Yiloong pulled out his dagger and kicked the dead wolf corpse aside, wiping the blood off his face.

    Being surrounded by a group of wolves was definitely much more terrifying than facing off against a single bear. Even with Huo Yiloong going all out, he would only be able to kill three wolves by the time he was hit.

    We can't go on like this! Huo Yiloong tore off a piece of cloth and tied up his arm that was scratched by a wolf.

    It was probably because of the wolf's death that stimulated these beasts. Huo Yiloong realised that they seemed to have the intention of not giving up until they were dead.

    He had indeed underestimated the fighting strength of this pack of wolves, being able to turn him into such a sorry state in just an hour.

    Huo Yiloong glanced at the messy prey bodies on the ground again, steeled his heart, and ran away with the spoils of war.

    However, he discovered that no matter which path he took, the wolves would relentlessly chase after him. Thanks to their keen sense of smell, he would have a way to find his trail no matter how far he ran.

    Although Huo Yiloong had trained in the Martial Arts since he was young, he had never participated in real life or death battles.

    Compared to these animals that were not afraid of death, he clearly lacked the determination to not be afraid of death.

    Huo Yiloong didn't know how far he had run, he could only try to run in the direction he had come from. As long as he met people, he was not afraid, even if two people could not defeat the wolf pack, he could still pull someone to buy time for him.

    A faint sound came from in front of him. Huo Yiloong was overjoyed as he shouted loudly for help, Who is in front? Someone come quickly …"

    This sound... That sounds familiar. Yin Xu lazily said as he laid in Teng Yu's embrace.

    Let's go over and take a look? Teng Yu smiled and wrapped the cloak around Yin Xu's shoulders properly. Previously, this man had directly said he was sleepy and had already slept on top of him.

    Wait a moment, why does it sound like Huo Yiloong's voice to me? Yin Xu sat up straight and looked into the distance. Unfortunately, there were trees everywhere and his line of sight was blocked.

    It is indeed him. From the sound of it, he must have met with trouble.

    Then let's go take a look and see what kind of trouble it is. If possible, let's send him off on his way.

    Haha … Teng Yu pinched Yin Xu's nose, If Huo Zhengquan knew that you were not going to save me, he would probably tear you apart.

    How would he know if you didn't tell me? And would I be afraid of him? The two of them slowly walked towards the direction of Huo Yiloong's cry for help. Before long, they saw Huo Yiloong running very fast in the forest.

    From the way he was looking back while running, there seemed to be something chasing after him.

    To be able to make the immediate son of Huo Family into such a state, he was most likely no ordinary beast.

    But in the next moment, the answer was obvious, a group of angry wild wolves chased closely behind Huo Yiloong.

    As if feeling the deterrence of the wolves, the steed beneath Teng Yu became uneasy.

    There's actually a pack of wolves nearby. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if we were alone?

    There are guards patrolling the mountains outside the Shenlu Mountain. Logically, the wolves wouldn't come out, but today there are more prey and the smell of blood is dense. They must have come by smell.

    The moment they saw Huo Yiloong, the other party had obviously seen them as well. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face filled with hesitation.

    With this hesitation, the pack of wolves drew closer. The howls sent chills down their spines.

    If it was only normal hunting, the wolves would not have been so persistent. I'm afraid Huo Yiloong has done something bad. Teng Yu gloated.

    Who cares what he did. I only know that he came running towards us. Do you want to run? Yin Xu comforted his mount by patting its neck.

    Huo Yiloong hesitated for a while before he rushed towards Teng Yu and the rest. But he did not plan to ask for help.

    It was said that Third Prince's archery skills were poor, Huo Tian barely had some ability, and should be able to buy him some time.

    When he descended the mountain, he didn't believe that these beasts would dare to chase after him. If they did, then that would be even better.

    Teng Yu squinted and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, This brat is too malicious.

    Yin Xu could naturally see through his intentions, and with a snort, he pointed his bow at him. Stop! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.

    Huo Tian, what are you planning to do? Huo Yiloong stopped and looked at him anxiously.

    What for? Of course it's to save my life. You don't think I can beat these wolves, do you?

    Why not? We have three people, so we'll split them among ourselves, or you can throw your bow and arrow to me and I'll do it myself."

    Seeing that he was staring intently at his arrow quiver, Yin Xu laughed softly, I'll give you the bow and arrow, what do I need? The Third Prince is standing behind me. If something happens, who will be responsible?

    Huo Yiloong secretly scoffed, he was just a piece of trash, what was there to be responsible for?

    However, if he died, it would be troublesome, but Huo Yiloong was not so stupid as to think that it would have nothing to do with him.

    Seeing that the wolf pack was getting closer and closer, Huo Yiloong did not have time to bullshit with them and quickly ran towards the side of the small road.

    It was a good thing that there were quite a lot of roads on the mountain. Although some of them had not been abandoned for many years, it was still better than digging through bushes.

    Yin Xu did not care about him, with a twist of the arrow, he aimed at the wolf in the front and shot the arrow.

    He wrapped the arrow with a layer of Demonic Qi and shot it into the wolf's right ear. The originally light injury caused the wolf to fall to the ground.

    This sudden turn of events scared the rest of the wolves, causing them to stop in their tracks and stare at Yin Xu fiercely.

    Dead? Seeing this, Teng Yu asked in shock.

    I don't know. Yin Xu gave a simple three words of reply before he aimed at the next wolf.

    Wolves weren't completely unafraid of death. They only knew how to estimate the strength of their opponents, and if there was no chance of victory, they wouldn't fight to the death.

    The aura being emitted from Yin Xu's body made them feel very fearful, and the arrow he had shot out just now was too strange, causing the pack of wolves to be hesitant to go forward.

    Huo Yiloong did not run far, but instead stopped at a relatively safe distance to watch his movements.

    He even thought of a way to put it, if the two of them were to die by the claws of a wolf.

    But the next scene caused his heart to tremble. Yin Xu handed the bow and arrow over to Teng Yu and said: Come.

    Teng Yu glanced at Huo Yiloong, a playful smile on his face.

    He missed his first arrow, so before Huo Yiloong could mock him for his archery skills, he successfully nocked a second arrow. He thought that this arrow would not be any better, but he helplessly watched as that arrow hit a wolf, and then a miracle happened.

    The wolf that was shot fell back with a miserable cry, then it began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the inside out, until it turned into a pile of ashes.

    This... What kind of fire was this? Huo Yiloong's eyes widened as he looked at the two people on horseback in disbelief.

    When did these two pieces of trash have such ability? Not only were they not afraid of retreating, they even killed two wolves with ease.

    Even if he had a bow and arrow in his hand, he didn't dare guarantee that he would be able to kill one with one arrow.

    Huo Yiloong's gaze was fixated on the arrow barrel on Yin Xu's waist. It must be the arrow, it must be it!

    He had heard that there was a kind of stink bomb in the army that could blow people to death and set them on fire. Perhaps the arrows they carried were specially made.

    The wolves were also scared and retreated. After seeing Teng Yu shooting at them, they all ran away with their tails between their legs.

    These two humans were too terrifying …

    Huo Yiloong maintained his gaping mouth as he stared at the shock in his eyes. Then, he saw the arrow aimed at his head once again.

    Subconsciously, he took a step back and leaned against the hard tree trunk. He felt a little wet and a cold sensation spread out from his back.

    But after he retreated, he regretted his decision. He was just an incompetent prince who had the advantage of using weapons to show off his might in front of him. What was there to fear?

    Haha … Seeing that you're frightened, it turns out that Fifth Master Huo isn't that brave as well. Teng Yu kept his bow and arrow, and did not look at him again, he took his spoils of war and his beloved one and rode his horse away.

    Only Huo Yiloong was left standing there with a dark expression. After a long while, he moved his stiff legs and ran in the other direction.

    CHAPTER 102 - TIGER FATHER WITHOUT DOG SON

    The sky darkened very quickly, especially in the depths of the forest. Even though there was still some light coming from the outside, the forest had already become completely dark.

    Yin Xu and Teng Yu finished counting their prey and prepared to return. The results of today's battle was great, they couldn't finish all of the prey they snatched, thus they simply snatched back all the horses.

    In the palace at the bottom of the mountain, the emperor sat on the stage solemnly. Very quickly, a Young Eunuch ran over.

    Reporting to Your Majesty, Young Master Cao is fine now. The imperial physician said he just lost too much blood, so his injuries aren't serious.

    The emperor waved his hand to indicate that he understood. Then, he instructed the guards at the side, Bring a few men to the mountain and help them. Don't let anyone come back in the end.

    Imperial Consort Yun patted her chest and sighed: Thank God for your blessings. Luckily Ze Ming is fine, otherwise how would we explain to Master Cao?

    She glanced at the emperor reproachfully. These children are truly lacking in seriousness. They are about to cause someone to lose their lives. Why can't they wait until they return to let His Majesty decide? No matter what, the Cao family is Yi'er's Yue family.

    The official who stood at the head of the group sneaked a glance at Huo Zhengquan and thought to himself: As expected of someone from the Huo Family, even a trash bastard like him had the guts to do it, it's just that he's too ruthless.

    We'll ask them about it when they come back. Didn't they say that Jie Er was there as well? There's only two of them, look at these … The Emperor pointed at the kneeling youths, his expression still gloomy. I can't even win against two of them. I deserve to lose.

    Your Majesty, you can't say that. Although the other side only has two people, their statuses are not ordinary. How could you dare make these children act against them?

    The kneeling youths all raised their heads. They wanted to refute but were unable to say anything out. Did they have to admit that they had bullied the young master many times but still lost in the end?

    The words of the Imperial Consort were reasonable, after all their statuses are different. If it were the injured Third Prince, they would have died long ago. Yun Heran immediately added, and fiercely stabbed Teng Yu in the back.

    The two siblings looked at each other in the dark, a smile hanging on their lips.

    Imperial Consort Yun gave the Cao family a meaningful glance. How could they not use such a good opportunity? Unfortunately, Cao Zeming did not die. Otherwise, Teng Yu's reputation would have been completely ruined this time, and he would have had a hard time recovering.

    After getting the signal, Minister Cao shakily stood up, bent his knees and kneeled on the ground, Your Majesty … This old official has worked diligently for the future of the Cao family for dozens of years. As a third generation official, this old official has never committed any grave mistakes. This child is the only grandson of Old Cao's family.

    Emperor Dechang frowned, he had initially picked Teng Yi as one of the Yue Clan. It was only because the Cao Clan had a shallow foundation in the government, and had a simple network, and Minister Cao was a very honest and honest person.

    But in just a few short years, it had also changed?

    Forget about it, Emperor Dechang was a little disheartened as he scolded angrily: Since you care about your grandson's life, then don't let him learn how to use his blade and sword, and even more so, don't let him participate in any hunt. Won't he be safe and sound at home?

    Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old official was in a hurry. I naturally hope that my son will be able to master both martial arts and literature in order to live up to Your Majesty's hopes and nurtures.

    Mm, get up. The Emperor replied indifferently, unmoved by this.

    Imperial Consort Yun's eyelids jumped. She used the handkerchief to wipe her forehead and secretly peeked at the emperor's face. Then she smiled and poured a cup of wine for the emperor.

    Your Majesty, you have become a father. Don't these parents just want their children to live in peace? Lord Cao was just too worried. Please forgive his efforts as a grandfather.

    When the emperor heard this, his complexion finally turned better. He nodded and said, These children are the debts that their parents owed in their previous life. It would be difficult for them to make things difficult for Minister Cao. When those two brats return, I will definitely make them shut their doors and reflect on it.

    The emperor is too serious, you mustn't be like this. It's normal for children to be injured while making a ruckus. It's this old subject who's too nervous.

    Just as the emperor was about to console him, he heard someone report, Your majesty, the Third Prince and the Huo Seventh Young Master have returned.

    In a split-second, everyone's gaze uniformly turned towards the Shenlu Mountain. They indeed saw two people walking over slowly.

    It wasn't too late to come back, and in order to buy some time to hunt for prey, the people who entered the mountain would usually stay until nightfall.

    A day's time could be counted as long as they returned before midnight. It was just that the mountain was dangerous at night, and very few people dared to stay too late.

    Look, they've brought back four horses. Someone exclaimed, bringing everyone's gaze behind the two people.

    It really is … Oh my god, how many prey have we hunted?

    As they got closer, everyone finally saw their faces clearly. Logically speaking, after a day of hunting, even if they weren't exhausted, they should still be very tired, at least they should be sweating a bit. However, the two of them seemed to have just gone out for a walk and came back.

    Haha, good! Alright! The emperor was overjoyed. He stood up and walked down, patting Teng Yu on the shoulder while praising him non-stop, You are truly worthy of being my son!

    Teng Yu's face was filled with confusion, Royal Father, I don't understand what you mean.

    ... Ahem, weren't these prey hunted by Honorable Que? "

    Teng Yu looked embarrassed, and waved his hand: How can that be? Son's archery skills... Cough cough, these are Huo Tian's, I am only bringing them back.

    He hunted them all by himself? The emperor frowned and looked at Yin Xu in surprise.

    Teng Yu nodded and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

    Therefore, all the prey would definitely belong to Yin Xu. If one were to say that they were hunting, it would be hard to avoid the suspicion that they were deceiving the monarch.

    Your majesty, those are the prey that Huo Tian snatched from everyone! A youth could not help but shout out, his tone carrying a trace of anger and humiliation.

    Oh? Snatch it? The emperor thought of the Cao family's kid who was carried back. Could it be that this was the reason for the conflict?

    Before he could ask about the sequence of events, he pointed at the youth who had just spoken, You, come out and explain everything!

    However, since the Emperor had spoken, he naturally did not dare to say anything. Not only did he have to say it, he also had to say it in accordance with the truth. Otherwise, it would be deceiving the Emperor.

    However, his explanation could not help but have a tinge of personality, and he described Yin Xu as someone who would use any means possible to win.

    Your majesty, this is how things are. There are many people robbed along the way. You can send someone to investigate!

    What's there to check? Teng Yu rolled his eyes, and said with a pleased smile: Royal Father's rule is that whoever hunts more will win, it's not that you guys aren't allowed to snatch it, it's you guys who are stupid and useless, what's there to be wronged about?

    Third Prince, His Majesty's intention is to test everyone's shooting skills, not their fighting ability. Yun Heran reminded.

    Is that so? Teng Yu had an innocent expression, showing an expression that said I don't know.

    He looked at Emperor Dechang, What does Royal Father say? If your son understands wrongly, why don't you try again tomorrow?

    The emperor sighed helplessly, So what if the Royal Father gives you one more chance? Do you have the ability to take the top spot?

    Teng Yu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained in a low voice: This son has a helper, wanting to win is very easy.

    The emperor looked at Yin Xu who had been silent the entire time, and said with an expression of praise. As expected of a disciple of Huo Family, very good!

    He pondered, was the helper Teng Yu spoke of just now just Huo Tian alone, or was it the person he represented, or the family he represented?

    The Huo Family was not allowed to participate in the fight to seize the direct line of descent, but every single emperor was subconsciously guarded against Huo Family at all costs, afraid that they would stand behind any prince.

    You flatter me. Yin Xu modestly replied.

    It was General Wu who came to count the prey, gave the statistics, and then reported an astonishing number.

    Looking at the weight of the four horses, no one could believe this number. The martial general then personally picked out a few items and placed them in front of everyone.

    Gasps could be heard from the crowd. There were actually tiger skins, wolf skins, and bear paws amongst these items. Furthermore, there were quite a few of them. No wonder they had such great achievements.

    First, get someone to send me something to eat and drink. I'm hungry. Teng Yu pulled Yin Xu to the side and sat down, ignoring the people's probing gazes.

    He knew what these people were thinking. He couldn't believe that the two of them could snatch so many prey, maybe they were assessing Yin Xu's fighting prowess.

    Even Huo Zhengquan was no exception. He was currently staring at Yin Xu with his bright and clear eyes, looking at him closely, as if wanting to cut him up to examine him bit by bit.

    This child really gave him too many surprises. He thought that it was just a coincidence that he managed to learn martial arts, but he never thought that it would actually be so much better than what he imagined.

    He lowered his head and thought to himself: I wonder how this child compares to the other sons, Huo Family is not the best of the best in this generation, among so many of his sons, only the eldest son and the fifth son are qualified, and only the two of them have the chance to pass the election to the Patriarch.

    There was no lack of outstanding talents amongst the branch disciples, it was not easy to keep authority in their own faction. Now with Huo Tian, there was one more choice.

    It seemed necessary for him to touch the child and see if he was malleable.

    Huo Zhengquan's gaze swept across the face that was extremely similar to his, and at the same time, caught a glimpse of his and Teng Yu's intersecting hands.

    He frowned, looking at their interactions with displeasure, thinking: It seems that the most important thing at the moment is to end their relationship.

    Regardless of whether or not this child could be of use in the future, he would not allow him to do such a vulgar and despicable thing.

    Some of them were spirited and some had their heads hung low, especially when they saw Yin Xu and Teng Yu, they were even more disheartened.

    They thought that their prey was large enough to fight with, but when they realized that the pile of prey could only belong to one person, they could only scatter in frustration.

    However, they did not understand how a man could have hunted so many prey in such a short day.

    Even if a bunch of prey were placed in front of them, wouldn't it be difficult to obtain such a harvest? Moreover, their arrows were limited, so their 100% accuracy was not that high.

    Huo Yiloong was the last to appear, and also the most miserable one among the group of youths.

    His outer garment had already been torn into strips of rags, and there were even many small wounds on his body. It was obvious that this was left behind by an animal.

    His entire body released a gloomy aura, the hatred and hatred in his eyes could even leak out poison when he looked at Yin Xu and Teng Yu.

    How did this happen? The Emperor asked with concern.

    Huo Yiloong did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and politely replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject encountered a pack of wolves on the mountain. Not only did I lose my prey, I almost lost my life.

    Oh? Did we encounter a pack of wolves? Why would a pack of wolves appear in the periphery of the Shenlu Mountain? Someone, come …"

    Your Majesty … Huo Yiloong shouted to stop the emperor from saying what he wanted to say. He gritted his teeth and said, Your majesty, it was this subject who got lost and entered the forest. Only then did I get surrounded and attacked by the wolves.

    With a single sentence, he had saved the guards here. Otherwise, if they were to be charged with doing something unfavorable, they would have no choice but to pack up their bags and leave.

    To be able to fight against a pack of wolves, he must be a tiger father without a dog son! Back then, your father challenged dozens of prairie wolves by himself, which really impressed us.

    Your Majesty, you flatter me. Your subject is far worse than father. Huo Yiloong said sincerely. He had a kind of inexplicable admiration for Huo Zhengquan, his father, and thought that his own father was the best. As the direct descendant of Huo Family, he should also be the best.

    CHAPTER 103 - THIS YOUNG MASTER IS UNIQUE

    In the end, the one who obtained the most prey was naturally Yin Xu. The Emperor personally gave out the prize, which was a golden bow.

    Fortunately, the reward was not limited to just these items. Other items such as silver and jewelry would be delivered to him when he returned to the city.

    Royal Father, you said that the person who will be fighting for the top seat will give out commands, so why don't you give it to them as well? Teng Yu reminded.

    At that time, we were talking about people other than Huo Family, but Huo Tian was not included. Yun Xi, every year, the first place in the hunt will be taken away by your family, should we exclude the people from Huo Family from the list next year? The emperor asked half-jokingly, but Teng Yu knew that he was indeed disappointed in the other disciples.

    The Emperor definitely wouldn't do that. It's precisely because of my children and grandchildren that my Huo Family is able to arouse the fighting spirit of the other youths. Moreover, there are specializations in the arts, so Huo Family is a family of martial generals.

    En, that makes sense. Tomorrow we'll set up a Plum Blossom Meet and compare it to a poetry painting. We can't let all the limelight be snatched away by your Huo Family.

    Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yin Xu, and interrupted: Royal Father, this son still feels that this commander should be given to Huo Tian.

    Oh? Why?" The emperor did not show any displeasure, and only looked at Teng Yu with a deep gaze.

    This was the first time he saw his son being so concerned about someone else's affairs. Did he do it for himself or for the entire Huo Family?

    Teng Yu remained calm and replied loudly, Royal Father, you should know about Huo Tian's situation. He left home from a young age and only stayed at the Huo Family for a few days, so his abilities have nothing to do with Huo Family. You cannot ignore this fact just because he is surnamed Huo.

    He had spread out what happened to Huo Tian in front of everyone. Naturally, it was not to ridicule him, but to let the emperor know more deeply that Huo Tian and his Huo Family might not be of the same heart.

    Huo Tian wanted to use his Huo Family to climb up but he was not feared by the emperor, so hanging him on the tree yet not merging him was the best.

    The emperor was deep in thought for a moment, then looked at Huo Zhengquan's angry expression and laughed: Haha …. Kid, you really know how to repay a debt of gratitude. Fine, Royal Father will help you. Someone …"

    Your servant is here!

    Order... The Seven Scions of the Huo Family have courage and foresight … To be promoted to the post of Commander in the Palace, with my green robe and a rank three salary, I can freely enter the palace! "

    Teng Yu held onto Yin Xu and accepted the decree to express his gratitude, he knew that Yin Xu would not kneel to others, so he did not let go of his hand.

    Many civil officials wanted to criticize him, but when they thought about how the Third Prince had always been like this in front of the Emperor, even the Emperor did not blame him, so there was no point in speaking further.

    Those who had good eyes could not help but think too much, thinking that it was not wise for Huo Tian to climb the Third Prince, with the laws of the country around, if he dared to stand with the Third Prince, he would be courting death.

    There was a bonfire party at night, and the prey was cleaned and roasted over the bonfire, emitting a rich smell of meat.

    But Yin Xu did not have much appetite, he had a meal of barbecue at noon, and at night he just wanted to have something light to eat.

    Teng Yu understood this and specially made Han Sen find the imperial chef to make him a bowl of fish porridge. There was a lake in the back of the courtyard, and the fish he fished out on the spot was tasty.

    After Yin Xu finished the bowl of food, the remaining Teng Yu did not waste any of it. After he finished eating, the two sat on the second seat under the Emperor, the first seat was naturally given to Huo Zhengquan.

    Yin Xu swept his gaze across and saw the First Prince opposite him. He could not help but think of Teng Yu's other brother.

    Teng Yu knew what he was thinking, so he went over and whispered, "The Imperial City needs people to stay, and it's always Teng Yi. This year, the Emperor said that he took care of him and did not participate in the hunt for so many years.

    Doesn't that mean he's going to die from anger?

    If he can die from anger just like that, then he's too weak.

    But would a child who was raised as an heir be so weak? Of course not!

    Yin Xu sized up the First Prince subtly, wanting to find a little bit of discontent from his expression. However, he found that the First Prince was staring at a spot next to him, and there was an unconcealable glint in his eyes.

    In order to express the importance that the Emperor had towards the people from the Huo Family, he specially made himself sit in the first place with Teng Yu, saying that it was his reward for being the champion this time.

    So there was only one person beside him, Yin Xu was a little curious, could the First Prince have connections with Huo Zhengquan?

    Just as he was about to carefully analyze the emotions in the depths of his eyes, he saw that the other party had already shifted his gaze and was toasting to his left and right.

    Yin Xu thought: Maybe I saw wrongly, maybe at that moment, the other party was just looking at me.

    After the meat was cooked, the two palace maids placed some of the meat on a silver plate in front of the emperor. Yin Xu shifted his gaze to the main seat and saw an expressionless beauty sitting beside the emperor.

    The beauty was like an iceberg, but like a soulless puppet, staring ahead without focus.

    My beloved concubine, try it. This venison is fresh and delicious. Let's see if you like it. The emperor took a sip and then personally gave a piece to the ice beauty.

    Imperial Consort Yun enjoyed a seat by herself. There was a plate of roasted meat in front of him, but she couldn't eat it. Her nails pierced her palms and she forced herself not to look back.

    She was the one who used to sit at the same table with the Emperor at parties of all sizes, but now she seemed to be sitting respectfully in the place reserved for the Empress, and she could only watch him fawn over other women.

    Yin Xu secretly pitied the Imperial Consort Yun for a while, then prodded Teng Yu on the waist and asked, Did the emperor treat your mother in such a way in the past?

    Teng Yu glanced at the main seat, and the corners of his mouth curled into a line, "Probably.

    Oh? Does that mean this woman is useful to him now? Wasn't she the one who gave the dance last night? Since you're unwilling, why did you come out to show off?" Yin Xu curled his lips.

    The will of the individual and the will of the family are often at odds. Teng Yu saw that he cared a lot about that woman, so he tugged at him, Does she look good?

    Not bad, I'm not as good-looking as your mother. Yin Xu still remembered the bewitching woman lying inside the crystal coffin.

    My Queen Mother … It wasn't like that when you were alive. Teng Yu's eyes held a look of reminiscence, and suddenly said: She is a very gentle woman, dressed very simply. Although she is beautiful, but she lacks the charm that men like.

    That only means she didn't meet the right person. Don't you think that the old monk is completely devoted to her?

    Mentioning this person, Teng Yu was in a bit of a trance, Uncle Mo is indeed very good, what a pity … It was a pity that his mother did not marry him. Otherwise, she would have lived a very happy life, right?

    Sir Xu, is your son in good health? A loud voice resounded in the arena, attracting the attention of more than half of the people present.

    Yin Xu knew from the voice that Yun Heran was doing it on purpose, but he did not know why he was charging straight into the gun.

    Because everyone's attention was on Yun Heran, no one noticed that the ice beauty beside the emperor had become agitated.

    Hmph, General Duo Yun is worried that my son will never be able to stand up again in this lifetime. Are you satisfied? Great Scholar Xu did not give him any face at all.

    Don't misunderstand, this one has no ill intentions. I only heard that there was a godly doctor in the Southern Suzhou region who hoped to cure your son's legs. Yun Heran looked at him apologetically with a regretful look.

    Hearing this, Xu Jin asked with a trace of hope, The entire Grand Hospital doesn't have a plan, then what kind of genius doctor has a plan?

    I will do my best to listen to the will of heaven. I have already sent someone to invite him. Sir Xu, why don't you wait a little longer?

    Xu Jin heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he hated the people from Yun Family to death, the most important thing right now was his son's injuries. If he could treat them, he'd be willing to turn their conflict into friendship.

    He was just thinking that he would have to divorce a letter later and quickly go to Suzhou to search for her. Suddenly, he heard Yun Heran asking, I heard that your son is not married yet, is there a arranged marriage?

    At the mention of this matter, Great Scholar Xu's face turned even darker. He coldly spat out two words, Never.

    Someone exclaimed in surprise, Eh, this official seems to have heard that Young Master Xu has started to discuss marriage. Could it be that his family has reneged on the marriage?

    The crowd instantly quietened down. Each of them listened attentively, waiting to hear the drama that was about to unfold.

    Which family is so snobbish? Yun Heran asked indignantly, Do you know why we rescinded the marriage?

    Why else? Which family would be willing to marry their daughter to a cripple?

    Yin Xu rolled his eyes as he made a guess. He asked Teng Yu quietly: Did you know about this before?

    Teng Yu held his hand under the table and scratched at his palm. I know, but I didn't pay much attention to that woman previously. I didn't expect her to become a senior in the blink of an eye.

    Yin Xu suddenly realized something, and sneaked a glance at the main seat. Sure enough, he saw the ice beauty's anxious expression, and he did not know if it was because of his former lover or because he was afraid of exposing his identity.

    The official who had revealed the news sighed, This official does not know. However, there are many families in the capital that know about Young Master Xu's marriage. There should be people who know the reason.

    This kind of person, it's fine if he doesn't have a relationship, but don't let this general know who he is. Otherwise, he'll definitely be scolded like a dog with blood on his head! Yun Heran's face was filled with anger, as if he was the one who was reneging on the marriage agreement.

    The Marquis Zhen Yuan who was sitting in the middle wiped off his cold sweat, he hesitated for a while before standing up and bowing to Yun Heran, "General Yun, don't be so agitated, this matter is untrue. Back then, my wife did intend to marry the Xu family, but something happened to Young Master Xu without even mentioning anything.

    Since this matchmaker didn't come knocking, the number of marriages naturally couldn't be counted on. The Marquis' way of doing things was also acceptable, and many people nodded in agreement.

    Is that so? How come I heard that the two families were related to each other, that Young Master Xu and your daughter Ling has such a close relationship?

    Marquis Yuan glared at the official who spoke and asked indignantly, Where did you hear so much? This marquis has no enmity with you, right?

    Aiya, look at what the marquis has said. This official has only heard it from the grapevine. If you say anything wrong, please forgive me! The official rose and bowed to him, smiling earnestly.

    However, these words went past everyone's ears and entered their hearts. When they looked at the new concubine sitting in the host's seat, their eyes were a little strange.

    Most of them knew that this new concubine was a direct descendent of the Zhenyuan family, and their family only had one daughter to marry.

    Imperial Consort Yun took a sip of the plum wine and used her sleeves to cover the glee in her eyes.

    Although the emperor wouldn't force a newly acquired beauty into a harem because of such a small matter, it was enough to alienate that slut. No man would carry the danger of wearing a green hat to pamper a woman.

    As expected, just as she put down the wine cup, Imperial Consort Yun saw from the corner of her eyes that the Emperor's hand, which was holding the wine cup, had veins popping out.

    Alright, you are making a ruckus even for such a small matter. Dear Cloud, doesn't your family still have a daughter that has yet to leave the pavilion? Since the culprit is your son, why don't you compensate your daughter? I haven't been a matchmaker for a long time."

    When she said that, Imperial Consort Yun's smile stiffened. She lowered her head and quickly thought about it, analyzing the pros and cons of this bestowal.

    If it was before, Yun Family would naturally be willing to marry the Xu family, even if it was to marry a cripple. But now … The relationship between the two families was already so tense. If they were to marry again, they might not even be able to get together.

    The king probably thought about this too, so he let the two families become Qin and Jin, right?

    After being stunned for a moment, Yun Heran immediately knelt down to express his gratitude. No matter how unwilling he was, the Emperor had opened his golden mouth, so there was no possibility of him refusing it.

    Great Scholar Xu was also full of unwillingness and was unwilling to kneel down and accept the decree.

    My dear sir, the matter regarding your son was handled unfairly by me. I shall also give your son a decree allowing him to participate in this year's Autumn Festival. As long as he is on the list, I will treat him like a normal person.

    Xu Jin froze on the spot, and was overjoyed as she knelt on the ground, This official thanks Lord for his grace!

    In the Liang Dynasty, disabled people didn't have the qualifications to take the Imperial examinations, much less become officials. He was worried not only about his son's marriage, but also about his future prospects.

    Now that the emperor solved two problems at the same time with just one sentence, Xu Jin was truly willing to kneel and feel everything.

    Alright, get up. Don't cry on such a good day, haha … Everyone, don't just stand there. Eat what needs to be eaten and drink what needs to be drunk! "

    Understood! With the solemn atmosphere broken, the lively and relaxed atmosphere returned to normal. However, there were probably only a few people who could relax and play around.

    Yin Xu picked up a piece of roasted deer meat from Teng Yu's bowl and smelled it first. He discovered that it tasted different from usual, so he reluctantly took a sip.

    Well? Teng Yu laughed as he looked at his actions. He felt that letting him eat a piece of meat was like asking him to drink poison.

    Yin Xu waited for the food to be swallowed before he said, It's not bad, but there's a fishy smell that cannot be removed. Compared to the spirit beast meat he had eaten in his previous life, the meat of this world was truly nothing to brag about.

    Later, let the chef in the mansion try to see if he can remove the fishy smell. Since you're so picky, I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise you in the future.

    In the future, you have to support all the people in the world. What do I count as?

    Teng Yu let out a low laugh as his finger wrote two words in the center of Yin Xu's palm. He whispered into's ear, Even if all the people in the world add up, they can't even compare to a single one of you!

    Yin Xu had never heard such an open and aboveboard confession, so he was a little embarrassed. However, he couldn't see through his thick skin, and only said: Of course, this young master is unique!

    Teng Yu looked at him and smiled, that smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring in March, causing Yin Xu's heart to tremble.

    It was only when the host's gaze fell upon him that Teng Yu regained his senses and poured Yin Xu a cup of wine, a playful expression on his face.

    Yin Xu drank the wine he poured and said softly, This Royal Father of yours is quite capable.

    Teng Yu nodded his head, to be able to stand out amongst the many princes, to have sole authority, and to have ruled for so many years, how could his Royal Father not have some ability?

    The great beam had continued to this day. Although it could not be considered a powerful and powerful country, it had never encountered any great calamities. Its military might was enough to deter people from the border, and it was many times better than the chaos in the previous dynasty.

    All of these were the result of several generations of emperors meticulously managing him, so Teng Yu had no choice but to admit that although the man he hated wasn't a good father, he was still a good emperor.

    CHAPTER 104 - I THINK IT'S NICE TO HAVE HUO TIAN

    This bonfire party only ended around midnight. Before the Emperor left, he instructed the Imperial Consort Yun to go see Cao Zhiming and embraced his new concubine to rest.

    Imperial Consort Yun looked at the two leaving figures as she bit down on her teeth, her expression extremely ugly.

    It was unknown when Yun Heran had appeared behind him and comforted him, Why would you be angry over such a small matter? It's not like you don't understand the emperor's personality. He seems to be very fond of his concubines, but in reality, he's not really sure how to care about her and the kid from the Xu family. How many days can he favor?"

    Of course the Imperial Consort Yun knew, otherwise she wouldn't have exposed that matter in such a huge occasion. However, she also knew that the Emperor still favored this slut tonight, and it was not just for face.

    Big brother, come take a seat at my place. Imperial Consort Yun stroked the hair on her temples and brought Yun Heran to her own Bedroom Hall.

    Upon entering, the two of them pushed their sides and chatted in a low voice inside the house.

    That … Imperial Consort Yun revealed some hesitation, Did you do it?

    Yun Heran nodded his head, I have more or less made the necessary arrangements, and will be waiting for him to return to the palace this time … What? Has little sister thought it through?

    Imperial Consort Yun looked to be in a rather sorry state, and anxiously denied: Of course not!

    Ignoring her brother's mocking expression, Imperial Consort Yun took a deep breath, How confident are you?

    How can I be sure of this? It's just letting the heavens decide what to do. But don't worry, you've thought of a way out for your brother, so just give it your all!

    What path of retreat? Imperial Consort Yun was suspicious, could it be that this world is a king? Murdering an emperor is a crime against the nine clans, where is the retreat path?

    Yun Heran's eyes flashed, and laughed: You don't have to ask, even if the matter were to be exposed, I would try my best to push the blame onto the Second Prince's mother and son. It won't be easy for the emperor to find out the truth in such a short amount of time.

    There's no need for that. It's hard to say if that mother and son pair will even be able to survive until then. The corners of Imperial Consort Yun's mouth curled up as her eyes flashed with calculations.

    Oh? What did you do?

    You'll know in a few days. Imperial Consort Yun was a suspenseful person, this matter could not be explained in one or two sentences. Furthermore, before this matter was accomplished, she did not want too many people to know about it.

    Yun Heran knew the capabilities of his little sister. Back then, she was able to bear with it and hand over the throne, holding onto the power of the imperial harem. It was simply too easy to deal with someone in the imperial palace.

    It should have been like this a long time ago. If he had listened to me back then and taken advantage of Second Brother while he was at the border, he would have been the only one. How could there be such a thing now?

    Imperial Consort Yun rolled her eyes. Big Brother, aren't you thinking too simply? If the Emperor really only had two princes left, do you think he would still deliberately condone Third Bro? Third brother is the real heir!

    Besides, the Emperor is in his prime. Who knows if a prince will be born?

    It still needs to be born. Yun Heran said meaningfully.

    For the past few years, there had been no princes born within the palace, yet the princesses were one after the other. There were also people who suspected that it was a harem plot, but they couldn't find any clues, so they could only give up.

    You can even say that? Imperial Consort Yun growled, emphasizing in particular, This matter may not be a secret for the rest of my life, I still have to be careful.

    Don't worry, how can I be someone who doesn't know his limits?

    Imperial Consort Yun was not at ease. Her brother was not stupid, but he was not intelligent either.

    Just as she was about to remind him with a few words, she heard the voice of a palace maid outside. First Prince, it's already so late and you're still visiting the Empress?

    Has Royal Mother rested?

    No, the Empress is currently talking to the Imperial Uncle.

    The Imperial Consort Yun siblings looked at each other and shouted to the outside, Yi'er, come in.

    The First Prince pushed the door open and entered, smiling as he said, Uncle, you're still not going back yet. If Royal Father finds out, they'll suspect that we're plotting something bad.

    Our family was talking, where did all these conspiracy come from? The Imperial Consort Yun laughed and retorted, standing up and holding her son's hand as they sat down.

    Have you gone to see Ze Ming? she asked.

    Yes.

    How are your injuries?

    Just like that, I won't die. The First Prince said without much concern.

    The Cao family is getting more and more troublesome. Back then, the emperor had chosen such a family for Yi'er, so I was unhappy. Although the Cao family had a few pavilion elders, the highest ranked person is only able to get the position of Minister, and the younger generation is even more useless. Imperial Consort Yun revealed a look of disdain.

    Yun Heran advised: The Cao family is very expensive, but it is beneficial for the First Prince's reputation, as for the future … The Yue Clan is not the only clan. Once the First Prince ascends the throne, who would be the next to succeed him? Why bother with such a small matter?

    The First Prince did not like to discuss this topic, so he was grateful to the Cao family. For the past few years, with the support of the Cao family, he had a good reputation among the scholars.

    Royal Mother, if there's nothing else, your son will take his leave first. The First Prince only came in to pay his respects after passing by and saw that the lights were still on.

    But seeing that Yun Heran was also there, he lost all interest in talking.

    He had never liked this uncle of his. He loved to play tricks, but he was not smart enough. If not for his Royal Mother, how could he have gotten the position of general?

    Go ahead and rest early. Tomorrow, you still have to accompany your Royal Father to hunt in the mountains.

    Yes.

    Looking at his retreating back, Yun Heran frowned. Is this child still angry at me?

    How could that be? Yi'er's mood wasn't too good these days because of the emperor's emphasis on number two. Don't guess."

    Yun Heran understood after thinking about it, so he didn't take it to heart.

    After Teng Yi exited the Imperial Consort Yun's Bedroom Hall, he walked back. There were many lanterns hanging from the long corridor, which reflected a flickering series of silhouettes.

    His mind was filled with that person's resolute and handsome face. Unknowingly, he had walked into that person's courtyard.

    Your Highness … An old eunuch blocked his way, bowing and kneeling as he said, It's already deep into the night. Why don't you go back and rest?

    Teng Yi stood outside the courtyard for a long time. Then, a guard ran over to greet him and ask what he wanted to do.

    But he could only shake his head. In the middle of the night, he could not find any reason to see that person.

    Of course, he had no reason even during the day to meet them in public.

    Seventh Young Master, please go faster. The Marshal is waiting!

    Teng Yi turned his head and saw a few figures slowly approaching him. After a while, a line of people was exposed under the light.

    Teng Yi's heart jumped, when that face suddenly flew into his line of sight, he thought that he saw the person he missed.

    What are you urging! Aren't we walking? "

    Teng Yi squinted as he watched them walk towards him step by step, many thoughts passing through his mind.

    Eh, why is the First Prince standing here? A frivolous voice entered Teng Yi's ears, bringing him back to reality.

    Yin Xu's gaze swept across Teng Yi's face, looking at his expression and eyes, and joked: Is the First Prince here to look for Fifth Brother? Why not? These servants are really something. How can I let my esteemed guest stand outside and take the wind?

    Teng Yi forced out a kind smile, It's alright, I walked over on my own, and I'm just passing by so I won't disturb you anymore.

    Yin Xu looked behind him and thought: This walk
