The second brother Chen Wu read out the names of the four first-class internal skills in one breath. Chen Ying was naturally very moved and asked directly about the opponent's purpose.
"Third brother must listen to the government's future greetings!"
Chen Wu was not polite and said bluntly: "No matter whether you can do it or not, you must work hard to do it!"
"Second brother, aren't you afraid that I will practice my inner strength and suppress you firmly in the future?"
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ying said bluntly: "I don't think the second brother will have such a big belly!"
"hehe……"
Chen Wu didn't take it seriously and said with a faint smile: "It only takes third brother to have this ability!"
Just kidding, the practice of internal strength has its own rules. Chen Ying is almost eighteen years old at this time. It is too late to practice internal strength. Unless he can cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow, it is possible.
However, cutting off the hair and cleaning the marrow is just a joke?
“The conditions are too harsh!”
After pondering for a moment, Chen Ying said directly: "If there is something going on in the house, let alone practicing internal skills and mental methods, I can't rest peacefully for a few days!"
"What does third brother mean?"
"There are no more than three things a year, and they must be related to the government, not your personal affairs, second brother!"
"Third brother, you are too cruel. If there is something in the house that requires your intervention, do you still dare to refuse?"
"That's nothing to say!"
Chen Ying refused decisively and said leisurely: "Although I am envious of the four first-class internal skills and mental methods that my second brother said, I have no idea of selling myself!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to sell yourself?"
The mistress of the palace, who had never made a sound, now spoke displeasedly: "Third brother, do you think your wings are stiff now that you have some skills?"
I felt indescribable annoyance in my heart, watching Chen Ying and his legitimate son Chen Wu talking freely, how could he still be as cautious as before?
All I can say is that this guy used to pretend so much that he even fooled her.
I was already unhappy in my heart, but when I saw Chen Ying and his legitimate son Chen Wu bargaining harder and harder, and finally refusing decisively without even concealing it, I suddenly felt an unknown anger.
"Just discuss the matter!"
Chen Ying didn't take it seriously. His expression remained unchanged and his tone was leisurely. He didn't care much about the attitude of the mistress of the palace at all.
I've given you enough respect, and I don't owe you anything. Do you really think that as a mistress, you can dominate the world?
"Okay, okay, it looks like you, third brother, have really hardened your wings!"
The mistress of the palace didn't think so. She just felt that Chen Ying was arrogant and arrogant, and she didn't like it no matter how she looked at it.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave!"
Chen Ying was too lazy to talk nonsense. After saluting, she turned around and left. She didn't even bother to pay attention to the ugly expression on the mistress's face.
It’s so damn speechless...
I thought it was because when he was young, he had to pretend to be transparent to survive.
The rules here in the North are really not as strict as those in the hinterland of the Qi Empire. As long as you can keep your face and your own strength can withstand retaliation, that's all.
Is it possible that, in order to deal with him, the mistress of the palace dared to use the high-ranking ministers in the palace? Stop talking nonsense.
The cheap father Chen Longcheng would never agree. This is the core strength of the Zhenbei Palace and should be firmly controlled by Chen Longcheng.
The mistress of the palace can only use the conventional power of the palace at most!
The regular forces in the government might not even be able to defeat those retired frontier soldiers when they arrive at the Valley Manor. How can Chen Ying be defeated?
Besides, being eighteen in the Northland means adulthood!
According to the rules, when he reaches the age of eighteen, he can leave the family and establish a household openly.
It really pissed him off, so he simply stayed in the Valley Manor from now on, survived until he was eighteen, and then directly dealt with his cheap father Chen Longcheng.
He was not interested in the resources of the Zhenbei Palace. As the saying goes, "Standing in a wall and standing tall without any desire will lead to strength." Chen Ying didn't ask for anything, so it was really easy to escape.
It can be said that since he gained the qualification to enter and leave the palace at will, the mistress of the palace has lost the opportunity to manipulate him.
…
"Look at how arrogant the third child's attitude is!"
In the main hall of the main courtyard, the mistress of the palace looked angry and said angrily: "What kind of attitude is this? He still wants to rebel?"
"Mother!"
Chen Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Third brother already has the strength to say no, we really can't push too hard!"
Martial arts masters have their own arrogance, and this is no joke.
"Why, didn't he come from a public family and use the public resources to become powerful?"
The mistress of the palace sneered: "I just regret it. I didn't expect this guy to grow to this point under my nose!"
"Mother, please calm down. It seems that my third brother is not very interested in the resources of the mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have such an attitude!"
Chen Wu could see clearly, but because of this, he felt a little troublesome, and said helplessly: "If he is really not interested in the resources of the mansion, it will be difficult for us to handle it!"
The mistress of the Duke's Palace looked stagnant and said in disbelief: "Does this boy still want to go to the dark side on the path of internal martial arts and don't want to switch to practicing internal martial arts?"
"At least there's no such urgent need right now!"
Chen Wu smiled bitterly and said: "With the third brother's internal martial arts training at this time, even if he meets an innate true energy master, he will still be able to compete!"
"Huh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten!"
The mistress of the Duke's Palace looked ugly and unexpectedly said: "I'm writing from the hinterland of Daqi. In recent years, there have been many innate Qi masters from various places!"
Chen Wu's face became very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely work hard to enter the innate realm as soon as possible!"
The mistress of the palace was stunned at first, but quickly realized that her own words had irritated Chen Wu, his biological son.
"Take your time and it will be done. Don't rush for success!"
She said with relief: "Although I have not practiced internal skills, I know not to be too impatient, otherwise there is a risk of going crazy!"
"I know!"
Chen Wu nodded, changed the subject and said, "Mother, what about the third brother..."
"Just follow what we discussed before!"
The face of the mistress of the palace became cold again, and she said unhappily: "I just hope this guy is not a white-eyed wolf, otherwise I have to make him look good!"
"Don't worry, mother, third brother should not be such a person!"
Feeling relieved, Chen Wu smiled and said, "As long as he doesn't covet the government's resources, there's no need to pay too much attention to whether he's watching like a hawk or a wolf outside!"
The mistress of the palace was obviously very unhappy, but she did not object.
…
I originally thought that this time the good thing would be gone.
Unexpectedly, Li Ma happily told Chen Ying the good news that night: the benefits promised before remained unchanged!
When Chen Ying heard the news, although she felt quite strange, she didn't take it too seriously.
Again, he didn't think much about the resources of the palace, and his own strength was there, and the mistress of the palace couldn't do anything.
As for why she was so 'generous', Chen Ying didn't bother to think too much and just regarded it as a kind of welfare.
Therefore, he gave up the idea of returning directly to Valley Manor the next day. Instead, he went directly to the public library and spent most of the day writing down all the books on the third floor.
In fact, there really aren't many books on the third floor of the public library.
Including the "White Tiger Gang" he practiced before, there are only eight complete advanced internal martial arts training methods.
In addition, the notes and experiences of some senior masters of Gangjin can only be said to be of some help, but the help is limited.
On the contrary, Chen Ying was more interested in the things recorded in the notes about the experiences of his predecessor, Grand Master Gang Jin, as well as some strange places they encountered during their travels.
At this point, it can be said that there are more than 50,000 books in the public library, and all of them are firmly in mind at this time.
He has memorized all-encompassing knowledge such as astronomy and stars, medical divination of yin and yang, farmland water conservancy, Mohist organ skills, etc.
There are also military books and strategies, the hard skills training methods of military officers, the low, medium and high-level internal martial arts training methods, and even some more advanced Qi refining methods are recorded.
It can be said that with this wealth of knowledge alone, as long as Chen Ying is willing, he can easily support the rise of a top-level mid-level powerful family.
Valley Manor is a small attempt, and it seems that the effect is quite good at the moment. At least it has developed smoothly in his hands, and there is still a lot of development potential.
Now, he has obtained seven more complete high-end internal martial arts training methods, giving him a clearer and deeper understanding of the core mysteries of internal martial arts.
Not to mention how much it helps him reach the mysterious realm of 'god', it can at least speed up his reaching the peak of strength.
After reading the books in the public library, Chen Ying did not rush to find his second brother Chen Wu to enter the other two secret libraries. Instead, he went back to the Valley Manor first.
While he was busy making pills, he was slowly digesting the relevant knowledge in his mind and constantly improving his own accumulation.
Such a performance was greatly appreciated by Chen Wu, who had been paying close attention silently, and even his biological mother, the mistress of the palace, praised him bluntly: He has the air of a general!
Fortunately, the mistress of the palace was not focused on Chen Ying at this time, otherwise there would have been another turmoil.
At this time, the eyes of the princess and mistress were attracted by the sudden changes in the hinterland of the Daqi Empire. What happened there was truly exciting.
For some unknown reason, a rather intelligent mutant lynx suddenly appeared in the forest somewhere in the hinterland of Daqi!
This guy comes and goes like the wind and is very cunning. According to the information obtained by the mistress of the palace, this mutated lynx has injured many government and private experts, and has become more and more courageous in battles. His strength has increased rapidly, and he has even become a level 1 master.
The government offices are really incredible.
If it were placed in the north, where would the mutated lynx have the chance to show off its majesty?
Not to mention the government offices, even the elite hunters organized by the frontier army, the private experts alone are enough to drink a pot of the so-called mutant lynx.
It’s not just about the mutated lynx, there have been many signs of rebellion in the hinterland of Daqi recently. Although they are all remote places, they are enough to deserve the attention of some clear-headed people, who realize that something is wrong, or that the situation is not good.
.
As time goes by, those remote mountains and remote places have become increasingly unsafe...
