To be able to set up such an intricate formation at such a young age, and to maintain it intact for decades!
Unlike his original owner, who was also brought back from Mount Kaopan, the original owner spent most of his hundred years in the Demon Palace in a deep sleep. He gradually woke up later, sleeping more than he woke up, and was taken care of by Leng Ningshuang, his "old mother." Later, when he woke up in this body, he also spent his days playing and having fun, and his life was incredibly comfortable!
As for Rong Yu, although he had been the young sect leader of Tianzhi Sect for a long time, he was able to maintain his position because of his extraordinary talent. Without painstaking efforts, hard work, and extraordinary dedication, he would not have achieved what he has today.
I felt a pang of sympathy, and also a sense of inferiority.
Geng Qi asked, "What did you learn when you were a child?"
Rong Yu carried him through the corridor: "Learn everything."
Starting with the basic mental cultivation techniques, after mastering them, one begins to study formations and learn alchemy. Anything useful can be learned and put to use.
"Then teach me when you have time?"
Rong Yu was slightly taken aback: "You..."
Geng Qi laughed and said, "I've already formally become your disciple, you can't just leave me like this, can you?"
Rong Yu was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Learning formations and alchemy sounds simple, but it is several times more difficult than regular cultivation. Formations are intricate, and alchemy requires concentration. It requires not only spiritual power, but also soul power and mental power, which consumes a lot of energy and is very tiring.
He selfishly didn't want this person to suffer like that.
But if he wants to learn, he will be happy to teach him.
The two entered the inner courtyard in silence. With the maze outside gone, the scenery became clear. Geng Qi didn't understand why all large mansions had to have artificial mountains, craggy rocks, and withered grass growing between the rocks.
It wasn't particularly beautiful, but the thought that this was where Rong Yu had lived made it all look pleasing to the eye.
When was the last time you were here?
Rong Yu said, "More than ten years ago."
"..." So long?
But apart from the artificial hill, the trees around the courtyard were still lush and green, the floor was smooth and reflective, and even the beams were spotless. This did not look like a house that had been abandoned for more than ten years!
Are there any other people who come here?
He suddenly fell silent, and Rong Yu looked down and saw the gloom on his face. Without him asking, he explained, "The people who take care of the house were sent by someone else. This place used to be where my mother lived."
"Your mother?"
"Um."
Where are we now?
Geng Qi didn't get the answer.
He saw a fleeting look of nostalgia on Rong Yu's calm face.
If his mother were still alive, why would he not return to Sangzhong City for more than a decade?
As a prince, if Emperor Mingde knew that he had joined the Tianzhi Sect, he would surely give his birth mother a noble title.
He did not address his mother as "concubine," but only as "mother," and he did not acknowledge his father as "father," but only addressed others.
What kind of past did he go through to become the person who can remain calm and collected no matter what is brought up now?
Does he want to come back to Sangzhong City?
What were his feelings when he so easily agreed to his request to come to Sangzhong City?
"What's wrong?" The voice remained gentle.
Geng Qi shook his head.
They walked in silence. Rong Yu didn't carry him directly to the room, but instead went into the bathroom.
The person who was feeling guilty suddenly froze.
How did this person bring him to a place like this?!
"you……"
"Wash yourself before sleeping, you'll get covered in cooking fumes."
Cooking fumes?
Geng Qi raised his hand and sniffed himself. He smelled only the crisp sandalwood scent, not any oily fumes.
The only place I visited today with a lot of cooking fumes seemed to be that street of food stalls.
The lady who sells fried shrimp?
He only exchanged a few words with the proprietress, how could he have gotten covered in cooking fumes?
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. A veil of green gauze brushed past his eyes, and Rong Yu had already placed him on the soft couch by the bath.
He said nothing, turned around and squatted down by the bathtub.
The circular bathtub, crafted from Qi Nuanyu jade, extends all the way to the outside of the green gauze curtain. Even in the dead of winter, it feels warm to step on when you're naked—this is a characteristic of Qi Nuanyu jade.
Geng Qi watched as the man, with his back to him, touched a protrusion in the bathtub. He gently turned it, and gurgling water gushed out from the four white jade dragon heads on the side, steaming and creating a misty atmosphere. The man seemed to be surrounded by clouds, and Geng Qi couldn't help but gulp.
Do you...share together for a bath?
Isn't that a bit too exciting!
Before the heat even reached him, his face had already turned red.
Rong Yu reached out to test the water temperature, then slowly stood up and said, "It's ready."
Is...is it okay now?
Geng Qi was already dizzy, and many inappropriate images popped into his mind.
"oh oh!"
He took off his shoes and socks and walked over, then quickly took off his outer shirt and stood somewhat nervously at the edge of the bathtub, reaching out to untie the belt of his inner shirt.
Rong Yu's composed expression froze as he saw the young man's clothes gradually loosening. His nose tingled with heat, and he immediately lowered his head, took out a set of clothes from his storage bracelet, and neatly folded them on the soft couch.
"Take your time washing. If you need anything, just call me telepathically."
"...?" Geng Qi was lost in thought when he suddenly heard this question and snapped out of his reverie: "Aren't you going to wash?"
They went to that street together. He got covered in all that cooking fumes. Would this person not?
Although it never existed to begin with!
But he thought this was just an excuse Rong Yu made for the two of them to spend time together in the bath!
What's going on now? Are they deserting their posts?
Or did he not mean it that way at all?
