Chapter 38 I Know the Taste of the Sea

It was the middle of the night.

Deng Weixian's godfather arrived as promised.

Of course, he was still a little confused when he saw his adopted son reporting calmly in front of him.

"I think I just issued the task less than twelve hours ago, and he has completed it?"

"This is too fast..."

The godfather naturally would not reveal these thoughts in front of Deng Weixian, but just listened to the other party's description of the whole story calmly.

"In other words, the rumors of haunted Yanqu Hall were all caused by this small table?"

The godfather pointed to the door of the small table next to him and confirmed.

"That should be the case. Liang Cairen witnessed the figure of the small table at night and was scared crazy. Now she is still under the care of Yinfang Gonggong."

"Everyone in Yanqu Hall thought that Liang Cairen was possessed by evil spirits and behaved abnormally, and they were a little afraid of her."

Deng Weixian answered what he knew truthfully, and then waited for further instructions from his godfather.

Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping in the dark, nodded and gave Deng Weixian a thumbs up.

In this way, Deng Weixian got a pretty good score for the investigation task assigned by his godfather.

It was worth it for Li Xuan to spend a lot of effort on it.

The godfather paced in the yard for two steps, and then nodded repeatedly.

"Good, good..."

"You did a very good job on this matter!"

The godfather was obviously in a good mood, and the more he looked at Deng Weixian, the more satisfied he was.

Whether Deng Weixian really did as he said, whether he discovered it by accident last night or had noticed it long ago, the important thing is the result.

When he needs it, he can give him a satisfactory result, which is a qualified subordinate.

"Well, I'll give you another task."

"Watch over this little table for a few days to make sure that no one else will find out what he did without his knowledge."

"As for how to do it, you can figure it out yourself."

The godfather was also well-informed and did not comment too much on the little table's perverted habits, but immediately gave him a further task.

Through the content of the task, it can be clearly felt that this task is more flexible, but also more difficult.

It is obvious that Deng Weixian's ability has been recognized by the godfather, so he was given a more challenging assessment.

"My son!"

Deng Weixian did not say much nonsense and took the task directly.

"Next, you just need to do this well, and other things will be taken care of by others."

"Keep working hard, your father is optimistic about you!"

The godfather patted Deng Weixian on the shoulder, encouraged him and left.

Watching the godfather's back, Deng Weixian did not move for a long time, and I don't know what he was thinking.

He sat on the stone chair for a while, then went into the house and came out again soon.

He looked refreshed, and it was obvious that he had just absorbed the blood essence of the fierce tiger and was ready to start practicing tonight.

After Li Xuan confirmed that his godfather had left, he secretly climbed up the wall again and practiced with Deng Weixian.

They hadn't practiced together for several days, so it was just right to have fun.

Although he could practice in Jingyang Palace without delaying his progress, Li Xuan felt that it was best to practice with Deng Weixian.

As for the blood essence of the fierce tiger, he was not in a hurry to absorb it for the second time.

After the last absorption, the icy power in his body was still sufficient, and only a tiny bit of it was consumed each time he practiced.

I think this has something to do with his special physique.

But the specific situation needs more verification to be determined.

After practicing with him, the progress of the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw increased by another five points.

[Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw: 30%]

Looking at the progress in his mind, Li Xuan was very happy.

At this speed, he will be able to practice Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw to perfection in less than half a month.

By then, according to Deng Weixian's godfather, he should be able to enter the blood coagulation realm and have the ability equivalent to a ninth-grade warrior.

"I wonder how strong a ninth-grade cat will be?"

Li Xuan is full of expectations for the future.

...

After finishing the exercise, Deng Weixian went back to his room to rest as usual.

But from today on, he had to postpone his bedtime.

After Deng Weixian went back to his room to rest for a while, he heard subtle movements from the yard while he was meditating with his eyes closed on the bed.

He knew that the small table was out again.

Deng Weixian controlled the distance and followed him just like last night, and Li Xuan followed closely.

Everyone started another round of very decent stalking.

Although Deng Weixian didn't know why his godfather asked him to do this, he was more accustomed to following orders and would not overthink his godfather's thoughts.

This night was also a thrilling one, and even a little boring.

Xiaozhuo seemed to be more and more cautious, and the time he "sucked the bamboo tube" was getting shorter and shorter.

Although Deng Weixian and Li Xuan could not understand his behavior at all, it seemed to have a very important meaning to Xiaozhuo.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to take risks every night.

But he probably won't have many more good days like this.

...

The next day.

The atmosphere in Yanqu Hall made even cats feel a little uneasy.

Li Xuan noticed something unusual as soon as he arrived.

He thought he could relax a lot from today onwards, and he only needed to practice with Deng Wei every night and secretly watch the small table.

But the atmosphere in Yanqu Hall was unusual from daytime.

The talented people no longer had relaxed smiles on their faces, and everyone had a stern face and was full of worries.

When singing and dancing, they were all tense, not as lively as before.

Even when resting, everyone remained silent, and there was no more chattering and gossiping.

"What happened?"

Li Xuan frowned hard when he found this situation.

He lived in Jingyang Palace and was really not sensitive to what happened in the palace.

The talented people in Yanqu Hall were so cautious, it was probably not a trivial matter.

At this moment, Li Xuan saw the gloomy-faced Yinfang eunuch hurriedly passing by with his men.

The people saw that Yinfang eunuch only saluted from a distance, and no one dared to look up and look at him.

Li Xuan hurriedly followed him, wanting to see what happened.

Yinfang eunuch's face today was much worse than yesterday, like a volcano about to erupt.

He led his men straight to the door of the room where Deng Weixian and Xiaozhuo were guarding yesterday, and then broke in directly.

Li Xuan quickly moved to the tree and found an angle where he could see clearly inside.

"Liang Chuchu, what time is it, still sleeping!"

"Get her up for me."

Yinfang eunuch asked someone to move a chair and sat in front of the bed.

Liang Chuchu, who was still sleeping, was picked up by someone and brought to Yinfang eunuch in a daze.

Liang Chuchu was pulled out of bed, still a little sleepy. She looked at the person in front of her and murmured, "Eunuch Yinfang, is it time for dinner?"

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat!"

Eunuch Yinfang slammed the table, furious.

He stepped forward and held Liang Chuchu's chin with one hand, shook her twice to wake her up, and then asked viciously, "Tell me, what did you see that night?"

"Tell me clearly, in detail!"

Liang Chuchu felt that something was wrong, but her mind was still a little unclear, and she subconsciously asked, "Huh?"

Eunuch Yinfang was close, and in an instant he seemed to see the waves of the sea surging, making him feel like he was there.

As the saying goes, a spoonful of water can tell the taste of the sea.

Eunuch Yinfang suddenly turned pale, let go of Liang Chuchu's chin, and sat back in his chair in dejection.

He waved to his two eunuchs and ordered: "Go out and guard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

The two eunuchs did not dare to question, let go of Liang Chuchu, and went out to guard the gate obediently.

Li Xuan was even more curious, and rushed directly to the window, revealing two bright eyes and looking inside.

Then, the eunuch in the printing room pointed at Liang Chuchu tremblingly, lowered his voice and asked her:

"What's the taste in your mouth?"

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"You will kill yourself, me, and your father!!!"
