The Aloof Prince Chapter 73 - Using Qinggong

"Good, good, this official will do as you say. My Lady, what else do you want?"

Magistrate Li nodded repeatedly and put the words of Mu Yunjin to heart.

Mu Yunjin hooked up her lips.

"Nothing, I'll be going."

"This official will see Her Ladyship out."

Magistrate Li said as he stood to send Mu Yunjin out.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

Mu Yunjin waved her hands, then strode out of the Yamen.

Walking back to the street, this unexpected affair kept happening, and Mu Yunjin's mood is not inclined to go window-shopping so she is ready to find the alley and go back to the house.

After passing by the pastry stall that was thrown off by He Hu, Mu Yunjin saw several guards at the moment, fixing the booth for the old lady.

Seeing it, Mu Yunjin curled her lips slightly and suddenly felt that she had just done a good thing.

……….

After crossing the alley, Mu Yunjin came to the house, pushed the door of the house, and sensed the existence of Qi.

But there was no invisible barrier like the one on the mountains.

Walking into the house, Mu Yunjin's line of sight fell on the path in front of her. This morning when she left she remembers that it was a small garden.

Thinking of it, Mu Yunjin walked past it.

After a couple of steps, the sound of the door opening was heard from behind, and she couldn't help halting her footsteps. When she turned and looked, Ding Xian had pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Chu Li.

When Chu Li entered the door, he saw Mu Yunjin directly facing the door. He could not help but reveal a strange look.

"You just came back?"

Mu Yunjin nodded, then subconsciously looked at the sky, it is almost dusk.

Before she knew it, she had wasted another afternoon.

"Your matter is finished?"

Mu Yunjin smiled. She walked over to Chu Li.

Chu Li nodded slightly.

Just as she was about to speak, the door opened again, and from outside came an amiable-looking old lady with a basket in her hand.

As soon as she entered the door, she smiled at Chu Li.

"Young Lord, today, this old slave was chatting with others for a long time, I am going to go prepare a meal now."

As soon as her words fell, the old woman turned to go to the kitchen.

Mu Yunjin upon seeing this is a little mystifying, after a long time she astonishingly looked at Chu Li.

"You also found a cook to prepare the meals here?"

"En."

Chu Li softly replied.

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow and teased.

"It's no wonder those days, you did not return to the Fu. It seems that you are living quite well outside."

Chu Li heard her and faintly smiled.

……….

After nightfall, on the dining table.

Grandma Zhang stood on the side after placing the last dish and was unable to hide her smile.

"Grandma Zhang, what makes you so happy?"

Ding Xian looked at Grandma Zhang curiously.

As soon as Grandma Zhang heard someone ask, she immediately smiled like a flower and laughed.

"You don't know this, but today, a heroic woman came to the city and helped the people eliminate a local bully, and City Lord Ling has been implicated and is now in the Yamen's prison."

"That evil tyrant He Hu, has been a villain in this River Moon city for a long time. And the City Lord Ling had supported him from behind. But this time, they fell in the hands of a young girl, now tell me how can I possibly be unhappy?"

When she heard grandma Zhang's words, Mu Yunjin almost choked on her food, she drank tea, continued to eat her food, and did not look at grandma Zhang.

Chu Li looked indifferent to grandma Zhang's words like he doesn't care about it but subconsciously looked at Mu Yunjin.

Seeing her unusually low head while having a meal, he couldn't help but think more.

Mu Yunjin hurriedly finished her meal, after eating, she found an excuse to walk back to her room.

Chu Li sat in his original place, looked at Ding Xian, and began to speak.

"Go and find out who the woman grandma Zhang spoke of."

Ding Xian nodded and then went away.

Mu Yunjin laid down on the couch of her room and suddenly felt that following Chu Li is no fun.

Although she was curious about Chu Li's business, Chu Li was very guarded of her. She was unable to find out any information.

The only thing she knew was the black lotus. The mountain was also mysteriously sealed by Chu Li.

It's really not interesting.

If she had known earlier then she would have stayed in the Huangzi Fu to eat and drink every day.

……….

"Your Highness, this subordinate had already checked out the story, and the woman in grandma Zhang's words is the Huangzifei."

Ding Xian is standing in Chu Li room and respectfully reported.

Chu Li heard, and he looked down and replied.

"It's her, but it's not surprising."

Ding Xian nodded his head with a smile. After a moment, he seemed to think of something and added.

"In the course of the investigation, it was said that Huangzifei had injured that He Hu with the phoenix tail whip and killed a guard of the City Lord with a secret weapon. I do not know if this was true or false."

"If it is true, then the Huangzifei knows martial arts?"

Chu Li sat on the chair, gently rubbing the side of the cup with his fingers. After a moment, he spoke.

"With her, anything is possible."

Ding Xian seems to not really understand.

Just as he spoke, a black shadow flashed across the door. After standing steadily, he knocked on the door lightly, followed by secret news.

"There are clues."

…………

Mu Yunjin is half dreaming and half asleep, only feeling that there was a black shadow that flashed across the window, all of a sudden, she got up from the couch and lost her drowsiness.

When the shadow disappeared, Mu Yunjin walked out of bed and walked towards the door. When she came to the door, her ears were close to the door, and listened to the movements outside.

For a while, there was no movement.

Well, it shouldn't be the same assassin as the last time.

When Mu Yunjin opened the door, several lanterns were hung in the courtyard, but in the direction of Chu Li's room, it was dark, without any ray of light.

When Mu Yunjin saw this, she slightly twisted her eyebrows, walked over, and knocked on his door softly.

There is no response.

Then, they must have disappeared through the night again.

Mu Yunjin gently sighed. When she was about to turn back her room, her wrist suddenly pricked and then the golden light appeared, it disappeared for a long time but now, the Phoenix Feather mark appeared again.

The spirit mark appeared, does it foresee any danger?

"Meow~"

The sound of a cat came from the side, followed by a flash of pink light, and Qi Qi's figure appeared in the house.

"Master, Qi Qi had come."

Qi Qi approached Mu Yunjin and looked at the spirit mark on her wrist.

"The spirit mark is shining brightly, there must be something big that is going to happen."

When Qi Qi's words fell, her fingertips hastily moved an internal force. In a flash, a pink color flowed out and then pointed to the east side direction.

"Master, we should go over there and have a look."

Qi Qi words fell and pointed to the east side, and about to use Qinggong to leave.

Mu Yunjin stood in her original place, a little offended and distressed.

"I don't know Qinggong."

"Ha? "

Qi Qi is surprised and almost dropped her chin and scratched her ear.

"No, it shouldn't be the case, the spiritual mark of the Phoenix Feather pavilion is on your wrist, which represents that you have internal power of Qi in your body, otherwise the spirit mark won't appear at all."

"I know! maybe you don't know how to do it."

Qi Qi recalled that last time Mu Yunjin said she was a human being. Maybe she had not yet had any contact with mysterious techniques and stuff.

Mu Yunjin, after listening to Qi Qi's words, lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist.

"Didn't you say something was going to happen? So what should we do now?"

"Master, you first try to move Qi in your dan tian. If you have internal force in your body, it will be a pity if you do not use it."

Qi Qi raised an eyebrow and stretched out her finger, and drew a circle in Mu Yunjin's dan tian.

"Come on, take a deep breath, and try your luck."

Qi Qi taught Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and breathed deeply in accordance with Qi Qi's words. Then she felt that there was a stream of Qi slowly flowing in her dan tian.

This feeling is very familiar, it seems……

On the way back after taking over the Phoenix Feather Pavilion, she felt this way. Did Rong Fei pass inner force to her when she gave the Phoenix Feather Pavilion to her?

When it was over, Mu Yunjin lightly tiptoed a bit and felt her body become lithe, she lowered her head and saw that she had already soared away from the ground. Mu Yunjin's heart is in exultation and vaguely felt that it is familiar yet unfamiliar.

"Look, Qi Qi once said that master is not an ordinary human, how can you not know Qinggong? "

Qi Qi said proudly.

"Master, there is no time to lose, let's hurry and catch up and take a look."

"En." Mu Yunjin nodded.

Soon after, the two master and servant made use of Qinggong and flew towards the East direction.

Along the way, Mu Yunjin could hardly conceal her excitement and joy. Only in a short time would she be able to fully control Qinggong and the power of Qi.

She didn't know how long they flew, and Qi Qi, followed by Mu Yunjin stopped on top of a big tree.

"Odd, how can I not sense them."

Qi Qi once again used her inner strength, and the pink light that appeared in the courtyard could not be cast out.

"Can you track it down?"

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow and looked at Qi Qi.

Tracking, she didn't say the wrong name!

"Yes, the attribute of this subordinate is a cat, and my sense of smell is my strong point, so my ability of tracking is also the first in the pavilion."

Qi Qi's words dropped, and she paused. She twisted her eyebrows.

"But..."

"Today's people seem to be so powerful that they can cut off my tracking method. I can't sense them at all."

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and looked around her. She saw that they seem to be in the wilderness of a mountain, it was pitch-black so she can't see clearly.

Chu Li, who has a bird's blindness, went out so late. What is it for?

"Forget it, since we cannot check it, we should return."

Mu Yunjin replied, if Chu Li went back a step earlier, and found her gone, she might also be suspected.

After all, Rong Fei made it clear to her.

"En."

Qi Qi nodded.

As soon as the two of them were about to leave, they heard the sound of footsteps coming here. The two people hiding in the trees concealed themselves.

The footsteps were broken and gradually approached the tree. After a while, two black-clothed men appeared under the tree.

"This time, with the false news we have released, Chu Li will personally go to Dong Lin country, and then according to the intention of his highness, we can wait for him and ambush him in Dong Lin country to eliminate him!"

"Yes, when that time comes, you and I are set to obtain promotion from His Highness. The palace's crown prince must belong to our highness."

"Yes, who told Chu Li to be obsessed with that thing over the years, otherwise, we will not have an opportunity."

"Ha ha ha, it's no good talking about it. Let's go back to receive our rewards."
