Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 135 Perception
After drinking the warm wine, Yin Yucheng stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing that Feng Niang was in a good mood today, he thought that maybe he could take her to the Crescent Moon River to share a few words with her while enjoying the beautiful scenery, or even hold her hand.

In fact, Feng Niang and Yin Shu didn't want to leave. They were looking at Gu Jingnian's slightly flushed cheeks with interest, wondering how many more drinks he had to have to get drunk.

Pei Nian, however, behaved like a hostess and stood up to see the guest off.

Perhaps they thought that getting Gu Jingnian drunk would only be an advantage for Pei Nian, so Feng Niang and Yin Shu followed Yin Yucheng out of the hall.

"Stop, don't run!"

In just half a day, the few servants he brought with him had become very familiar with each other.

Gao Changgan and Lao Hei were running in the yard, fighting over a chicken leg and cursing at each other, when they bumped into Yin Yucheng coming out of the hall.

Gao Changgan was afraid that the Prince Xin would know that he and Lao Hei had known each other for a long time, so he quickly asked, "Why did you snatch my chicken leg when we just met?"

"It's my chicken leg. We just met. Of course I won't steal it from you."

Fortunately, their obvious attempt to hide their true intentions did not attract Yin Yucheng's attention. He laughed and said, "There are plenty of chicken legs. Why should we hurt our feelings over this?"

Lao Hei quickly agreed and followed Feng Niang, secretly thinking that Gao Changgan was too stupid.

After the group left Gu's house, Yin Yucheng invited Feng Niang to go out for a night walk.

Feng Niang was clearly in high spirits a moment ago, as if she had not had enough fun, but in the blink of an eye, she lost interest, yawned, and said she was tired. Without waiting for Yin Yucheng to persuade her again, she went straight home.

She had promised Yin Shu that she would no longer let Yin Yucheng be obsessed with her, and now she was fulfilling her promise.

But when Yin Shu saw this, she felt as if her father was being looked down upon.

When the father and daughter returned home, Yin Shu couldn't help but get angry.

"Dad, do you really have to humiliate yourself to please that woman?!"

"Haha, your words are too much. How can it be considered as a humiliation? This is the sincere consideration of a father."

Yin Yucheng drank a few glasses of wine today and was in a good mood. He felt that Feng Niang was finally more enthusiastic towards him than usual.

He was a little tipsy, and as soon as he entered the hall he leaned back in his chair, looking very relaxed and contented, which made Yin Shu even more annoyed.

"Dad, you've lost your mind!"

Yin Shu then spoke even more rudely, adding: "Sincerity and consideration, in her eyes, are probably worthless!"

"Girl, how can you have such little upbringing? Who do you look like?"

"I don't care about your upbringing. Today I just want to scold you and wake you up so that you won't be the laughing stock of the capital anymore."

Yin Yucheng was still not angry. Instead, he showed a gentle smile and said, "You don't understand my deep feelings, nor do you understand my deep meaning."

"Of course I don't understand. There's no bullshit meaning behind running after a woman's skirt."

Yin Yucheng shook his head and sighed, and asked, "Do you know what my Yin family's talent is?"

"It's the art of controlling the wind, of course."

Yin Shu waved her hand casually, and a tree outside the hall began to gently shake its branches.

It was just a breeze.

If one wants to use the wind to kill the enemy, it will take a longer time and consume a lot of effort. Even so, Yin Yucheng is one of the people with the best talent for controlling the wind in the Yin family.

"Wrong." Yin Yucheng sighed: "Skills are just details. Yin's true talent is more than that."

"What else?"

"inherited!"

Yin Yucheng uttered these two words in a resounding voice.

At the same time, he raised his hand and clenched it, and the door of the hall was closed by the wind, making it convenient for him to reveal Yin's secret.

"Now that you are of marriageable age, I should tell you these things. Let's start with the art of controlling the wind. Do you know that it was passed down from the ancestors of the Yin family after they married the Fei people?"

"Fei Ren?" Yin Shu didn't believe it. She had always looked down on Fei Ren and said, "Fei Ren can only fan the wind with his big hands. In terms of wind control skills, he is far inferior to us."

"Yes." Yin Yucheng said, "Outside the East China Sea, on the Hexu River, there are many Fei people whose ability to control the wind is far better than mine. It's just that in Zhongzhou, they can't adapt and can't use even one tenth of it. And my Yin family can pass on their own abilities in Zhongzhou."

"Really? Our killing skills come from those slaves who fan the wind and carry the carts?"

"Silly child, turning the fan wind into wind control only shows the Yin family's ability."

"Then, besides Feiren, what about Yin Shi marrying and having children with other Yiren?"

"This has been the long-standing doubt of the Yin family, because this kind of inheritance is not always effective. Over the past hundred years, except for the main clan that has always had the ability to control the wind, the other small clans, although they sometimes have geniuses, have not been able to pass it down from generation to generation."

This statement was a bit complicated, but Yin Shu understood its meaning based on what she had seen over the years.

For example, her distant uncle and a woman from the Huan clan had a son who could roar like a lion at birth, but his grandson might not have such an ability. It has always been the case that only the ability to control the wind is passed down from generation to generation, and the closer the bloodline is to the direct line, the stronger the ability is, or in other words, it is because of the strong ability that it has always been the direct line.

This is also the reason why the Yin royal family has always maintained a stable position.

Under such circumstances, the competition among the Yin family members was actually very fierce.

Assuming that one of the nephews or great-nephews of the current Emperor Yong inherited some powerful supernatural powers, it would sooner or later shake the status of his own son or grandson.

Therefore, over the years, the Yin clan members have been madly having children with strangers, and many mediocre people have been born, but the Yuewei Academy has more and more Yin clan members with extraordinary abilities.

In fact, perhaps Rui State felt threatened by Yong State, so it became more and more active in alchemy.

"The Yin clan has always tried to leave powerful supernatural powers to their descendants, but they have not been able to figure out the rules. Most of them just bred randomly like stallions and eventually exhausted themselves."

Yin Yucheng spoke slowly, his tone gradually rising, proud and high-spirited, and said: "But I am different, I am the most talented person in the Yin family!"

After that, he looked at Yin Shu and asked, "Do you know what this talent is?"

This time, Yin Shu seemed to understand but not quite, and shook her head.

She thought that maybe what her father was talking about was the talent of inheriting supernatural powers, but she heard that her mother was also a supernatural person, but she did not inherit her mother's abilities.

"The real talent of the Yin family is perception." Yin Yucheng said: "The third brother has a ridiculous inference. He believes that the Yin family is a dragon, so they can only mate with dragons. Stupid! This is a conclusion that only fools without talent would come to. A genius can sense the fate of his descendants."

Yin Shu didn't understand and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Your mother and I were married by imperial decree. Before the wedding, I entered the palace and knelt before my father to explain that I knew that I would not be able to give birth to a child who could inherit her supernatural powers, and that it would only waste my talents. Sure enough, the situation after you were born was just as I expected. I have not remarried in these years because I knew that when I met the woman with powerful supernatural powers who was suitable for me to marry, I could sense that this was the most powerful talent of the Yin family."

"Dad, you are talking nonsense just to marry Feng Niang, right?"

Yin Yucheng said: "Why haven't I had a child in these years? Because only the most concentrated blood essence, combined with the most powerful alien, can give birth to a child who can truly bring glory to the Yin family. Why can the third brother, who has mediocre talent, give birth to a son as outstanding as Yin Jinggeng? Because the third brother is not lustful and cherishes his body, he is very clumsy but very clever. But you see, after a few years, he gave birth to another daughter, Yin Wanqing, who has very poor talent and can't even control the wind."

Yin Shu said, "Yin Wanqing always brags about how smart she is."

"Superpowers are the basis for dominating the world, and the brain is the most useless thing." Yin Yucheng said disdainfully.

He waved his hand and brought the topic back to where it had been diverted.

"My father has always known about my talent. He is just waiting for me to find that truly powerful alien woman and give birth to a son with extraordinary talent. Then he will pass the throne to me. Don't you believe it? This matter concerns his descendants. My father and I have already made an agreement."

Yin Shu really wanted to believe it, but she always felt that these words coming from her father were too casual and ridiculous.

Even she felt that the father and son in the East Palace looked much more stable and reliable than her father.

Yin Yucheng clearly saw his daughter's questioning eyes, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "As soon as I saw Feng Niang, I knew she was the one I had been looking for. The Kunlun Blue Bird clan is rare in Zhongzhou. As long as I give birth to a son with her, he will be extremely powerful."

"really?"

"I have never told anyone about this." Yin Yucheng said, "The third brother may have sensed my father's intentions and seen the threat I posed to him, so he has dealt with me again and again. This is fine. What I am worried about is that once he knows how important Feng Niang is to me, he will take action against Feng Niang."

Yin Shu said: "I understand. I will keep it a secret."

"I tell you this because I'm worried that you might obstruct my marriage with Feng Niang."

Yin Yucheng patted Yin Shu's shoulder, and changed his tone to a serious and sincere one, and said, "No matter what you thought before, from now on, support Dad, okay?"

Yin Shu nodded subconsciously and couldn't help but think of Gu Jingnian.

She was going to break her promise to Gu Jingnian and would no longer help him elope with Feng Niang. But she would not tell Yin Yucheng about Gu Jingnian's affair with Feng Niang, intending to let it end without any result.

"what happened?"

"Dad, how do you feel when you meet Feng Niang?"

"How can I put it... I was attracted to her at first sight. I have seen many beauties in my life, but she is different. For her, I am willing to give up everything."

Yin Yucheng couldn't describe the heart-pounding feeling and could only sigh.

"Is this talent? Is this perception?"

"Yes."

"Does my daughter also have this gift of perception?"

"You are my daughter. You have the ability to control the wind just like me. Of course, you may also have this talent."

Yin Shu was stunned for a while, and murmured: "So that's how it is."

That night, she tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep. When she closed her eyes, she kept thinking back to the time when she first met Gu Jingnian. She thought it was just a young girl's innocent affection, but tonight she realized it was perception.

Gradually, she realized that if she gave birth to a child with him, the child would be able to fly into the sky with wings of fire, soar thousands of miles through the wind, heal its own wounds, and pass on its supernatural powers from generation to generation.

Finally, Yin Yucheng's words changed Yin Shu's original mind and dispelled her worries. She secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened to Pei Nian and Feng Niang, Gu Jingnian would be hers.
