Huangxiu

Chapter 760 Eighth Turn
"Wait a minute, Mr. Xu." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Xu Qingyun suddenly looked bitter and looked at Chu Zhiyuan eagerly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Why did the emperor withdraw his order and not punish me with the whip?"

Only by doing so would it be consistent with the temperament of the Ninth Prince Chu Liezhao.

Chu Liezhao can become smarter, more sophisticated, and more profound, but he cannot change his nature.

He can be broad-minded towards others, but he is very petty and vindictive towards the emperor.

The father and son were like enemies.

"This..." Xu Qingyun sighed inwardly, with a bitter look on his face: "Ninth Prince, please don't embarrass this old slave."

"What are you embarrassed about?!" Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Just tell the truth."

Xu Qingyun clasped his fists in begging for mercy, bowed and said, "Your Highness understands, this old servant cannot say more."

"Hey, you old fellow, you are so slippery!"

"Hehe, thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now!"

"Get lost." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand to spare him.

Xu Qingyun looked grateful and quickly retreated out of the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that he must be cursing in his heart, but he didn't care.

Others care about the steward of Jiaming Palace, but he doesn't care at all.

Knowing that this old guy was cunning and cautious, he would never take the opportunity to cause trouble, and would never get involved between them father and son, so he stayed as far away from him as possible.

Chu Zhiyuan opened the envelope.

The sealing wax and the seal are both clear and correct, and no one has opened them.

Inside was a jade ring and a piece of letter with just a few words.

Chu Zhiyuan put the jade ring on his left thumb and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng both looked at the jade ring curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan shuddered slightly.

The letter cracked and then floated into the air into countless pieces. A gust of wind blew, and the pieces exploded into powder and were blown away by the wind.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Yuzhen with satisfaction: "Father has agreed, I will go there in secret."

Li Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Whether you are wise or not, we will have to prove it later... You and Fu Zheng can protect me and go together."

"Yes."

She and Fu Zheng said in unison.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Youlan and said, "Aunt, you stay in the mansion."

Youlan frowned slightly: "Your Highness..."

This was indeed what had been agreed upon, but she has now changed her mind.

Your Highness is alone in a foreign country, without anyone to take care of him. It is too miserable.

If it was just one or two months, I could still bear with it, but this time who knows how many years it will take.

She could not tolerate this, and she was too ashamed to face the Imperial Concubine in Heaven.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Okay, wait until I've settled everything, then you can go over there, aunt."

"when?"

"Wait until I become a Venerable." Chu Zhiyuan said.

If he is not a Venerable, he is not a truly powerful person. The identity of the Ninth Prince of the Yujing Dynasty cannot scare those powerful children of the Phoenix Dynasty.

But the status of a Venerable One is acceptable.

"How long will it take?"

"Soon, it will be very soon."

Chu Zhiyuan looked up in the direction of the palace and smiled.

With the Karma Stone, it is equivalent to the Zhenwu Academy on the Great Guangming Peak.

An extremely strong soul can fully cope with the consumption of practicing the Infinite Light Sutra, so there is no need to enter the Great Light Peak.

But he still felt a little regretful.

Once you step out of the imperial city, you can no longer enter the Great Light Peak, and you can no longer meet Chu Honglin.

As for not being able to spend every day with the four princes, he had no regrets at all.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "You guys go get ready, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

"My Lord..."

"I have to be prepared as well." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Don't worry, one night is not a big deal."

"...Yes." Li Yuzhen could only nod.

She wished Chu Zhiyuan would set off right now, the sooner the better.

She was worried that Li Miaotan's injuries might get worse at any time.

Although she knew that her injuries were getting worse and Chu Zhiyuan would be helpless, she still felt that he had a solution.

The more she admired Chu Zhiyuan, the more confident she became.

-

Chu Zhiyuan appeared in Prince Gan's mansion.

Chu Honglin had not returned home yet, and the steward of Prince Gan's mansion personally welcomed him into the main hall and served him tea.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, telling him to go about his own business and just wait by himself.

He looked inward into the void in his mind, and saw the sun transformed from the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror shining brightly.

The colorful light in the distance became clearer and brighter, even to the point of being dazzling.

He closed his eyes, sat in the armchair, and chanted the Infinite Light Sutra, unknowingly entering a state of concentration.

……

When he opened his eyes, his expression was dazed with a hint of joy, and before he knew it, he had stepped into the eighth turn.

Everything will fall into place.

With a strong mental force, the effect of visualization is clearer and stronger, and the vortex of spiritual energy is larger and faster.

"Good boy, another breakthrough?!"

Chu Honglin's voice rang in his ears.

Chu Honglin sat at the door of the main hall to avoid being disturbed by anyone.

He saw the changes in the spiritual energy vortex with his own eyes and knew that Chu Zhiyuan had made another progress.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fifteen."

Chu Honglin was filled with emotion: "Your talent is really scary."

Compared to Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation speed, his speed was as slow as a turtle and mediocre.

He often doubted whether he was a martial arts genius.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Killing those demon masters has yielded great rewards."

"The Great Demon Subduing Seal." Chu Honglin said.

He also knew the origin of the Great Demon Subduing Seal and knew that there would be gains from subduing demons.

Either enlightenment or increased cultivation should be the shortcut to practice.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Fifteen, how about the secret library of ancient books?" "Alas..." Chu Honglin sighed, with a guilty look on his face.

"Father won't let me in?"

"Well, my royal brother said that you have already trained yourself in a mess, and it is not appropriate for you to go into the secret library and look through ancient books."

"Interesting, you're still concerned about me!"

Chu Zhiyuan sneered sarcastically.

Chu Honglin said: "Zhao'er, don't say that. My brother still cares about you."

Chu Zhiyuan sneered repeatedly.

He frowned and asked, "How can I get in and take a look?"

"It's no use saying anything." Chu Honglin sighed, "I've said everything."

Once my brother has made a decision, no one can change it.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Go in secretly?"

"...This is also a solution." Chu Honglin pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Just give me twenty lashes."

Chu Honglin immediately shook his head.

Those twenty lashes almost came down on him. It would have been a joke if they had really come down on him.

Ignorance is not a crime, and after my brother knew about it, he withdrew the punishment.

However, it seems that my royal brother wants to deny such a great achievement.

It is so frustrating that the emperor, who is wise and fair in other matters, is so harsh to Zhao'er.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Fifteen, we will go in tonight."

"So urgent?"

"It's urgent."

"...Come with me." Chu Honglin thought about it and decided to help Chu Zhiyuan.

He would certainly be reprimanded by the emperor afterwards, but he did not hesitate to do so because he could not bear to see it.

-

Early the next morning, Chu Zhiyuan reappeared in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Having not slept all night, he looked radiant and not at all sleepy.

I read books in the secret library for the whole night. I flipped through all the books in the secret library and planned to slowly ponder and digest them later.

Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng were both waiting in his courtyard, one wearing a white shirt and the other a green shirt, standing tall and graceful.

I was surprised to see him striding back.

Chu Zhiyuan said to Youlan who was following closely beside him: "I won't go over to the Majesty's place."

Youlan frowned slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let her think that I can come back at any time. Zhen'er and Qiao'er will cry when they see each other."

Youlan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, if you leave without saying goodbye, they will be even more sad."

She could imagine that Chu Zhen and Chu Qiao would cry and blame him when they heard the news.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's not that sad if we don't meet. Let them practice hard. When they become venerables, they can go anywhere in the world. They can come to the imperial city of Phoenix Dynasty to see me."

"...Yes." Youlan sighed and nodded.

Chu Zhen and Chu Qiao also have excellent talents, but it is almost impossible for them to become Venerables.

Even with the spiritual fruit sent by Chu Zhiyuan, his cultivation progress was very fast, but he was still a long way from becoming a Venerable.

This is just a thought of theirs and it will cool down in a few days.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Aunt, we'll meet again in a few days. Let's go."

Youlan hurried into the house, picked up a bag and handed it to Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng was holding the bag and suddenly grinned, because the things inside were very heavy.

Youlan came out with a small box, went to the pavilion, opened the box, and asked Chu Zhiyuan to sit down.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down and let her do what she wanted, and soon his appearance changed.

The high nose became a flat nose, the mouth became two inches bigger, and the eyes also became two inches bigger.

From a handsome young man, he turned into a middle-aged man with dark skin and rough features.

Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan could see it clearly under the light of the cave, and said with a smile: "Aunt has such a skill."

Youlan shook her head in dissatisfaction: "I haven't used it for many years, so I'm already rusty."

Fu Zheng said with a smile: "Boss, your disguise skills are really unique."

Youlan pointed to the stone pillar opposite and said, "Miss Li, please sit down."

Li Yuzhen sat opposite Chu Zhiyuan, and under Youlan's skillful hands, she quickly turned into a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance and did not attract any attention.

Fu Zheng turned into a little girl, five or six years younger than she is now, with an ordinary appearance.

Fu Zheng was amazed at the craft and was very envious, and she wanted to learn it.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Okay, let's go quickly, before we are too late."

He felt that if he didn't leave now, Chu Zhen, Chu Qiao and Concubine Hui might come.

By then, it is inevitable that there will be another scene of romantic love between young men and women.

He didn't like this kind of scene.

-

The three of them went out of the East City Gate.

Like a family of three, they first walked eastward along the official road following groups of people.

After walking two miles, they turned into the woods and began to perform light skills.

Chu Zhiyuan looked relaxed, letting the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe carry him around.

The two women had fluttering clothes and both had impressive martial arts skills.

The three of them were like three shadows, lightly passing over the treetops and heading straight east along the woods.

It can climb mountains, cross forests, and wade through water at an incredibly fast speed.

"At this rate," Li Yuzhen said, "we will arrive tomorrow morning."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Don't you want to eat, drink, sleep or rest?"

Li Yuzhen said: "Based on our physical condition, it should be okay, right?"

"Is this necessary?"

"My Lord, it's better to hurry up."

"...Okay." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "You are too concerned."

Li Yuzhen pursed her red lips and said nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped trying to persuade him and looked at Fu Zheng: "How are you doing?"

Fu Zheng said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Someone will contact me after I get there."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

He touched the jade ring on his left ring finger, feeling the coolness.
