As night fell, darkness enveloped the entire world, including Xianyang.
Except for some palaces in Xianyang Palace and some mansions of dignitaries in Xianyang City, most of the places inside and outside Xianyang City were dark.
This was one of the characteristics of this era. The rich used the rich as candles, and the lights were bright all night.
The poor, on the other hand, could not even bear to light a lamp at night because oil and candles were relatively precious things to the poor.
It was night time. The Eldest Young Master's residence did not lack candles, but there were only a few lights in the courtyard. As for Fu Su's bedroom, it was dark and there was no flicker of fire.
Those who knew were no longer surprised. Because in the memories of the entire Xianyang Palace, Fu Su had always been a virtuous, respectful, and thrifty person. The Eldest Young Master's residence had always been thrifty in all kinds of expenses, including lamps and candles.
The current Fu Su was happy to continue like this because the secret room was more suitable for keeping secrets and cultivating in secret.
Before he achieved some success in his cultivation, Fu Su did not want to be exposed to the eyes of the world, especially the eyes of Prime Minister Lu Buwei, whose mansion was located in the most prosperous area outside Xianyang Palace.
"Reporting to Young Master, there are already five groups of spies from the Network outside the Eldest Young Master's residence. They have all been secretly blocked by Mister Gai Nie.
Mister Ge Nia didn't kill him according to his young master's orders.”
Patriarch Sunflower's voice rang in Fu Su's ears. Hearing this, Fu Su once again ended his cultivation and got up to stretch his muscles.
Yu Huatian and Yu Huasheng sat cross-legged on Fu Su's left and right, still cultivating the Sunflower Manual.
" The chaos in the palace during the day has been cleaned up, but Lu Buwei still hasn't received Lao Ai's report even late at night. Naturally, he's anxious.
This matter will be handed over to Mister Ge Nia. Zheng Qing, don't step in and let Lu Buwei's heart hang.
'I won't explain or admit it. I'll just pretend that Lao Ai has never entered my Eldest Young Master Manor. That old fox, Lu Buwei, might be suspicious, but he won't dare to attack me again.'”
After Fu Su and Zheng He conversed for a while, he returned to his training area. He sat cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique to gather his inner energy and True Qi.
It had to be said that this Myriad Forms Universe Technique, which used Nine Yin, Nine Yang, and Taiji Tendon Transformation as its skeleton and included all kinds of cultivation techniques, was really overbearing.
The Sunflower Manual was a cheat in Proud Smiling World, but it was far from the speed of advancement of the Elephant's Universe Technique.
Yu Huatian and Yu Huasheng's speed of gathering qi was much slower than Fu Su's.
As Fu Su focused on his cultivation, the secret room fell into silence again.
Sunflower hid in the darkness, protecting Fu Su and the Yu brothers.
Ge Nia sat cross-legged in the courtyard of the Young Master's Residence. With his sword in hand, he intimidated all the scoundrels who wanted to sneak into the Young Master's Residence.
"Where did Lao Ai run off to?
It had been twenty-four hours, but not only had he failed to kill Fu Su, Lao Ai himself seemed to have vanished into thin air!
This time, in the turmoil in Xianyang Palace, I lost several newly-recruited outlaws of the martial world, all of whom were acting as a cover for Lao Ai. But, this guy had betrayed my trust!”
In the Prime Minister's estate, Lu Buwei's cold harrumph fell into the ears of all the spies in the hall. The hearts of those assassins and spies who usually acted tyrannically in the eyes of the world instantly sank, and they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
If the spies in the net were feared by the officials and the people of the Qin State and the six states, then Lu Buwei was the one who made the people in the net fear him as well.
This old man with white hair was the person with the most authority in the world. His authority overtook the entire Qin country and he had countless lackeys under him. With a single word, he could decide the life and death of a person!
Even when Lu Buwei was cruel to the people inside the net, it was equally terrifying.
Even the most apathetic outlaws of the pugilistic world had to obey the rules of the net once they joined it. Otherwise, even a person made of iron would not be able to withstand the purgatory-like punishment.
"Prime…Prime Minister, we've sent five groups of spies to the Eldest Young Master's residence, but they were all stopped by Ge Nia, who has returned.
If not for Ge Nia's concerns, the scouts we sent would have died under Ge Nia's sword.
His subordinates had also investigated in secret. From the spies outside the palace and the city gates, they had not seen Lao Ai walking out of the city. There was not even any news of him leaving the palace!
Prime Minister, could it be that Lao Ai was unlucky enough to meet Ge Nia and was killed by him?”
A small leader of the Network reported to Lu Buwei.
"Humph!"
Lu Buwei snorted coldly and looked at the leader of the Network, who felt his scalp tingle and felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Ge Nia rushed to the Xianyang Palace as soon as possible, and stayed by Ying Zheng's side to protect him. For a few hours, he stayed by Ying Zheng's side to be on guard.
In a few hours, Lao Ai would be able to kill a hundred Fusus!
However, Lao Ai had not returned yet, so there were only two possibilities!”
Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Xianyang Palace.
"Either Lao Ai betrayed me and did not dare to assassinate Fu Su, so he ran away, or he secretly sought refuge with Ying Zheng.
Or, Ying Zheng had sent an expert that we don't know about to hide beside Fu Su, and that person was the one who killed Lao Ai!”
At this point, the anger on Lu Buwei's face turned into a sneer."
"Hehe, it seems that Ying Zheng and Fusu, this father and son pair, are not as easy to control as I thought.
Interesting!
Then let's wait and see. This old man wants to see how far you can jump under this old man's eyes!”
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Eldest Young Master's residence. If there's any movement in Fu Su, report to me!
Ying Zheng ordered Fu Su to be grounded for a month. If Fu Su dared to break the ban within a month, then even Ying Zheng would not be able to save him!”
After Lu Buwei gave the order to his trusted aides in the hall, he dismissed them and began to rest.
After all, Lu Buwei was getting on in years, and his energy was not as good as when he was young. Only by resting well could he better control the country's weapons during the day and consolidate his authority.
To Lu Buwei's disappointment, Fu Su did not step out of the Eldest Young Master's residence for the next month. He rarely appeared in the courtyard of the Eldest Young Master's residence, so the spies outside the residence could not find any information about Fu Su.
Within a month, there was no news of Fu Su in the Xianyang Palace and the court of the State of Qin. It was as if the stunning young master who had made Zhao Gao and Lu Buwei speechless had vanished from the face of the earth.
However, in reality, Fu Su had been cultivating diligently in this month. His cultivation of the Myriad Forms Qiankun Technique had become deeper and deeper, and his progress had increased by leaps and bounds.
Within a month, he had gone from a weak young master with almost no martial arts foundation to a peak second-rate expert!
