Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 245 - It's Enough for Me to Have a Little Man

After resting for the night, Yin Xu woke up the next day and brought the five children over for a look after he finished his meal.

When they were brought in front of him, Yin Xu looked over them one by one. He realized that they were not young, even after asking a few questions, they were all able to answer them and even memorize all the notes he gave them, showing that they were not stupid kids.

He had his five children step forward and ask them about their comprehensions. He had once said that the most important thing in learning formations was perception. If one didn't even have comprehension, then they wouldn't waste time.

The five children answered his questions in detail, but they only managed to read through the notes Yin Xu gave them. They understood every single sentence Yin Xu spoke, but they were unable to do anything when put together.

Yin Xu had the emperor's men listen to the entire process. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do things half-heartedly just by saying “no”.

If you can be sent here, then you must be smart, but unfortunately, you temporarily cannot enter the field of array formations. However, looking at how serious you are learning it, I'll give you one more month, and if you still can't enter the sect by then, then I'll be powerless as well.

An older child bit his lip and said, unconvinced, “The Emperor called us here to learn from Mr. Huo, but we haven't received any guidance from you since we came to live here.”

Yin Xu was not used to being called “Mr. Huo”, but he knew that this was how the students of this world addressed their teachers.

He beamed at the boy. “What kind of advice do you want? Is the notebook I gave you not counted? “

“As teachers, we should be enlightened and dispel our doubts. Mister only casually threw us a book without any answers or methods of teaching, and the content is so obscure and incomprehensible. Isn't it a little too embarrassing?”

The other four children nodded their heads, obviously they were standing on the same side. But no matter who it was, they would all have the same idea, Yin Xu was their benefactor and did not fulfill his duty.

But Seventh Young Master did not care about all that, and he ridiculed: “Learning formations is different from learning other things, learning literature requires accumulation, learning martial arts requires diligence, but learning formations only requires comprehension, if you do not have that kind of comprehension ability, learning it even if you die would be useless.”

“Then how does Mister determine that we don't have any perception? Can't we read this book alone? “

“No, didn't you understand?” “This is the simplest water formation, it has no use at all. It can only trap the water within the formation without leaking it out. If you guys are able to complete this formation in a month, I will accept you as my disciple.”

The children hurriedly grabbed the piece of paper to study it. However, after looking at it for a while, they could only see the simplest symbols. No one could imagine that a few simple points could actually create a formation.

The boy who spoke earlier raised his doubts, “This is really a formation? Previously, in my notes, I mentioned that in order to set up a formation, you must use something that has intelligence, such as a spirit jade stone or a person.

“Don't ask me, how would I know the secrets behind it?” Yin Xu himself was only slightly knowledgeable about formations, but it couldn't penetrate that profound theory.

He took out the bag he carried with him and poured out half a bag of broken jade. Then, he made the array that he had drawn a moment ago.

“Watch carefully!” He ordered someone to bring a bucket of water and pour it into the formation. The water that should have been scattered all over the place still had a cylindrical shape and did not flow out from the jade stone.

“How amazing!” The only little girl present let out a cry of surprise. Her eyes were bright and somewhat cute.

Yin Xu stared at the little girl twice, thinking: It seems that it's not bad to have a daughter.

After all, these children had a pure heart. After seeing such a miraculous thing, they all threw away their doubts and looked at Yin Xu with reverence.

“Sir, I still don't understand. It's only a few stones, how can they surround the water?”

“Don't ask me.” Yin Xu tapped the child's forehead and reached out to grab a rock. The water that was stuck in the wound immediately poured out, wetting the children's shoes and socks.

However, they didn't mind at all. They patted the ground like normal children, and their faces were full of excitement.

“Alright, that's it. You guys go back and comprehend it properly. It's been a month. If you can't comprehend it then go back to your new job. Don't waste your time.”

The children were both yearning and apprehensive. They vaguely knew the meaning of being sent here. If they could learn it, their future would be limitless.

Although they still had no idea of their future, they knew it would be beneficial to their family.

Yin Xu had his men send the children back. He asked Teng Yu where they were and went to find him.

“Well?” In the garden, Teng Yu was lying on the soft couch in the sun, with a fiery red fox by his feet.

Yin Xu kicked the fox that was in the way away and sat beside Teng Yu: “Children are not bad, but too bad they aren't good materials for learning array formations.”

“Are you sure?” Teng Yu expressed his doubts, in fact, he had always remembered Yin Xu saying that he did not have the qualifications, he always felt that since he did not have the qualifications, the rest should not have either.

As for the accident with Wang Ren, Teng Yu indicated that the child was not normal in the first place.

Yin Xu laid on his chest and winked at him, “I have to be sure even if I'm not, I have Xiao Ren, a disciple who studies arrays, that's enough.” The rarer the goods, the more the disciples, the less the rarity.

Teng Yu laughed softly and hugged him to his chest.

Just as the two were bored, the Scarlet Fox that was kicked away by Yin Xu suddenly flew up, and landed right on Yin Xu's head.

“Stupid fox, get down!” Yin Xu was grabbed by the arm, and was momentarily unable to move. He was stepped on twice by the smelly fox.

“Squeak, squeak …” The little fox didn't wait for Yin Xu to go crazy and jumped down happily, fleeing into the flowers.

Yin Xu got up from Teng Yu's embrace and threw Teng Yu's boots into the flowers. However, the Scarlet Fox was extremely agile and shouted twice before running far away as if it was mocking Yin Xu.

Teng Yu shook his shoulders as he held back his laughter. When Yin Xu turned his head to look at him, he tried his best to suppress the smile on his face.

“Why is that stinky thing still in this mansion?” Didn't you run away long ago? ” If not for it coming out today, Yin Xu would have forgotten about this pet that he brought back with him.

Teng Yu shook his head, “It suddenly popped out just now, and accompanied me in the sun for a while. Han Sen made a bed for it in the backyard, but I heard that there weren't many people who didn't want to go back to sleep, so I liked to go to Wang Ren's courtyard.”

“I haven't been caught and skinned for so long.” Yin Xu curled his lips and didn't take it to heart.

Yin Xu's body was cold, he liked to bask in the sun in the courtyard whenever it came to winter. Teng Yu did not have this hobby in the first place, so after accompanying Yin Xu in bathing a few times, he had already fallen for it.

It was not yet summer. The morning sun was at its best with a light breeze.

“Have you not been going to court recently?”

“Yeah, it's not time yet.”

“When is it?”

Teng Yu smoothed his hair, “It's almost time, there's news in the palace that the emperor is preparing to raise the Consort Rong as his successor.”

“What?” Yin Xu raised his head, his brows knitted tightly as a thought flashed through his mind, “He wants to make Fourth Prince his Crown Prince?”

Teng Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, “Other than this, I can't think of his reason for doing this.”

Yin Xu cursed softly and asked him, “What do you plan to do?”

Teng Yu pressed his head down against his chest, and said with an ice-cold voice. “That position can only belong to my mother.”

He did not care who became the crown prince, since the title of emperor would not belong to them in the end. However, Teng Yu could not tolerate other women enjoying the throne of the Empress.

“But right now, the most anxious person should be the mother and son of Imperial Consort Yun, should we not interfere first?”

Teng Yu rested his chin on Yue Yang's head and said softly, “I don't have the patience anymore …”

When Yin Xu heard his heartbeat, which was faster than normal, he sighed in his heart.

“I heard that the emperor's health is indeed worse than it was before. He will get sick two or three days later, or maybe we can …” Yin Xu blinked his eyes. If he were to make a move, it would not be difficult for him to enter the palace without anyone noticing and take the life of the emperor.

Teng Yu understood what he meant, “When it's the last resort, I will allow you to make an appearance.”

He had prepared for so many years, and endured for so many years. Naturally, he also had a lot of chips, so he had to take a gamble first.

If the emperor were to die now, then the imperial court would be in chaos, and the battle between him and Teng Yi would be unavoidable.

Logically, Teng Yu was more inclined to use the least amount of losses to obtain the greatest benefit.
