Chapter 21 You can do it, kid!

In the darkness, a black shadow flew away against the wall.

Although the patrolling Ouchi guards noticed this person, they looked at the sky and paid no attention to him.

As long as it’s not until midnight, they won’t stop for questioning.

But don’t blame them for being ruthless if the curfew comes into effect.

The Ouchi guards looked at the eunuch in white who ran over, with amusement on their faces.

The one who was rushing was naturally Deng Weixian, who had just come out of Jingyang Palace, and behind him, Li Xuan followed closely and quietly.

At first, Deng Weixian’s speed was normal, but then he started to walk quickly, easily running at the speed of an ordinary person running at full speed.

Li Xuan knew that Deng Weixian had great skills, and he learned the Ten Tiger Forms from him.

But this is also the weird part.

Logically speaking, Deng Weixian was just an ordinary farm boy who fled to the capital and became a eunuch in the palace.

So who did he learn this skill from?
And the other party is Yu’er’s biological brother after all. Based on Yu’er’s relationship alone, Li Xuan also has to figure out what Deng Weixian is doing now.

Not long after, one person and one cat almost returned to the Supervisor’s Courtyard.

Not long after Deng Weixian entered, the sound of the eunuch calling for duty could be heard outside.

“The time of Xu has arrived. Close the palace doors tightly.”

“You are not allowed to go out on the streets during the curfew.”

In the palace, no gongs were beaten, only people shouted at the top of their lungs.

Deng Weixian had already entered the Supervisor’s Courtyard, so he didn’t have to run any more and walked towards the courtyard where he lived in an unhurried manner.

Li Xuan stepped on the courtyard wall and followed him quietly.

He hadn’t set foot here for a long time since the two eunuchs who attacked Yanqu Palace were arrested, and he didn’t know if Deng Weixian was still practicing every night.

When Deng Wei first walked into the yard, he found that the yard was brightly lit and there was someone standing with his back to him, obviously waiting for him.

The moment he saw the man’s back, Deng Weixian immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed three times.

“Little Dengzi, I have met my godfather.”

When Li Xuan saw this, he immediately leaned back slightly to show his admiration.

“You haven’t even left the prison yet, but you already have a godfather?”

Yu’er was previously worried that Deng Weixian would not be able to hang out in the palace and would commit suicide.

Now it seems that he underestimated this big brother.

“I hugged him even before he came out of Novice Village.”

Li Xuan really couldn’t imagine how Deng Weixian, with his paralyzed face, could have such social skills.

In the imperial palace, eunuchs all entered the palace at an early age. People like Deng Weixian were already considered old enough to enter the palace.

Li Xuan remembered that the upper limit of age for entering the palace was 14 years old. In another year or two, Deng Weixian would not even be qualified to enter the palace.

Everyone here has no relatives or friends, so the custom of recognizing godfather has been around since ancient times.

This is all for survival, not shabby.

I just didn’t expect that Deng Weixian would be so enlightened.

“Maybe this kid has some talent.”

Li Xuan thought about this and lay quietly on the wall, preparing to watch the show.

That’s the good thing about becoming a cat, no one is on guard.

Everything I say is in front of you, and everything I do is in front of you.

So far, Li Xuan has never encountered a weirdo who can even guard against cats.

Therefore he can hear and see many interesting things easily.

And there seems to be another rare opportunity in front of us.

“Xiao Dengzi, you are back.”

The speaker was wearing a large black hooded cloak, hiding his figure inside.

This person’s voice is deep and deep, which is very characteristic in the palace.

“Have you seen your sister?”

Li Xuan’s pupils shrank, he didn’t expect that this person actually knew about the relationship between their siblings. “Yes, we have said peace to each other. I have to thank my godfather for this.” Deng Weixian buried his head on the ground and replied respectfully.

“Okay, it’s good to see him.” Deng Weixian’s godfather turned sideways, came to his side, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder gently: “This way, you can work for me with peace of mind.”

“Don’t worry, as long as you do things well for me, it won’t be difficult for me to bring your sister out of the cold palace.”

A long, slender, white hand with distinct joints protruded from the broad cloak.

This hand is even more beautiful than many women’s.

What caught Li Xuan’s attention even more was his sleeves.

Although only a corner of it is exposed, it can be seen that the floral dress on this person is actually more gorgeous than that on Mr. Shang.

In particular, the clothes have special silver edges with dense patterns and fine workmanship. They are worth a lot of money at a glance.

“What is the identity of this eunuch?”

“I’m afraid this outfit is not something that ordinary eunuchs can afford.”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but frown. Things seemed to be much more complicated than he expected.

“Yu’er, your little brother is worried.”

Deng Weixian almost kept kneeling on the ground from beginning to end, without even raising his head.

“Little Dengzi is duty-bound to share his godfather’s worries.”

Deng was the first to do so, and showed his loyalty cleanly and neatly.

“Good boy.”

The man praised him and then asked: “How are you doing with the Ten Tiger Forms?”

“I have reached the level of Xiaocheng in accordance with the requirements of my godfather.”

“Okay, I have already made arrangements for tomorrow’s errands. You don’t have to worry about anything and continue to concentrate on practicing martial arts.”

“Next, I will teach you how to use the ten tiger-shaped claws, the blood-slaying tiger claws.”

“Let’s keep an eye on it.”

After hearing these words, Deng Weixian suddenly raised his head and looked at his godfather.

Li Xuan didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest tonight. He straightened up and opened his eyes wide, for fear of missing something.

The man swung his cloak, then moved, practicing a set of extremely ferocious claw skills.

This claw method opens and closes widely, it is fierce and powerful, but it moves the body with dexterity and agility. It can be said that there is softness in the hardness, and hardness in the softness.

The tiger’s claws were swung out, almost tearing the air, making a harsh sound, as powerful as a tiger’s roar.

The trees in the small courtyard were swaying with vigor, and many branches and leaves fell.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but be eye-opened. This was the first time he saw a master perform martial arts. The momentum was much more powerful than he expected.

The blood-slaying tiger claws were quickly finished, and the man’s body was like a whirlwind, and he tied the cloak again.

“How about it, do you see it clearly?”

Deng Weixian, who was kneeling on the ground, did not answer immediately, but looked thoughtful, apparently recalling the previous moves in his mind.

After a few breaths, he slowly nodded to confirm.

“Okay, please type it again and show it to me.”

Deng Weixian got the order, climbed up from the ground, and imitated the blood-slaying tiger claw moves according to his memory.

Although his movements were slow, every move was precise and without any omissions.

It wasn’t until he practiced the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw from beginning to end that a word of praise came from the side.

“You are indeed talented. I was not wrong about you.”

“Thank you godfather for the compliment.”

Deng Wei first knelt down again and bowed his head respectfully.

The man was very satisfied with this attitude. He nodded and said, “The mental technique is the Ten Tiger Forms. If you practice it carefully, this supporting technique will be enough for you to break through to the blood coagulation realm and become a ninth-level warrior.”

“At that time, you will be qualified to do that for me.”

Deng Weixian immediately bowed his head heavily and replied loudly:
“My child will definitely live up to his godfather’s high expectations!”
