Chapter 296: Learning to Use Light Skill

Yet Yue Mingxuan looked completely unconcerned and said, “I could still eat two more beggar’s chickens! Besides, wasn’t the whole point of today for you to bring me here to eat beggar’s chicken?”

Rong Qinglei smiled. “That’s right, that’s right.”

The moment they stepped inside the shop, Yue Mingxuan caught the rich and mouth watering aroma in the air.

The fragrance of roasted meat was something he simply could not resist.

Without hesitation, he quickly found a good place to sit down and began waiting eagerly for the dishes to arrive.

Seeing him behave almost like a child, Rong Qinglei only smiled.

He called the shopkeeper over and urged him to bring the food quickly.

Spending the day accompanying Yue Mingxuan as they ate their way across the city had already put him in an excellent mood.

Naturally, Yue Mingxuan ate to his heart’s content that day.

The long absent feeling of being full finally returned.

He let out a small yawn and already beginning to feel sleepy.

“It’s still quite a distance from here to your residence,” Rong Qinglei said. “How about I use my internal energy to take you back?”

Although Rong Qinglei had once suffered from poor health, his internal energy had always been exceptional.

Now that the heart ailment no longer troubled him, even carrying Yue Mingxuan would not cause his old illness to relapse.

“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Yue Mingxuan stretched lazily.

For many days now, he had been busy cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery and had hardly gone out at all.

Since he had finally come out today, he wanted to take the opportunity to stroll around the city a bit.

However, after wandering around for a while, there really was nothing particularly interesting to see.

He had no fondness for jewelry or ornaments.

The only things he truly liked were real gold, silver, and all kinds of delicious food.

Since he had already eaten plenty of good food today, he felt perfectly satisfied.

If he were to continue wandering outside, he honestly had no idea where he should go.

“You should rest more and take better care of your bodies,” Rong Qinglei said from the side. “If you don’t cherish your health, there will always be people who worry about you.”

“I only ate a little more than usual…” Yue Mingxuan thought he was being scolded for eating too much and quickly stuck out his tongue.

Rong Qinglei smiled as he reached out his hand and took Yue Mingxuan’s hand before lifting him up into the air.

Although Yue Mingxuan had been busy cultivating recently, when it came to internal energy, he was still far from familiar with it.

“Can you teach me material arts?” Yue Mingxuan asked.

Seeing how excellent Rong Qinglei’s martial art was, his interest had been piqued again.

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Rong Qinglei replied with a gentle smile. “But this isn’t a suitable place for it. Come with me.”

Yue Mingxuan did not suspect anything and simply followed him forward.

After walking for quite some time, Rong Qinglei finally stopped in a place where there were hardly any people.

“Where is this place?” Yue Mingxuan asked.

“This is where I used to practice martial arts,” Rong Qinglei said as he lifting his eyes to look at the surrounding scenery.

The green mountains and flowing waters seemed just as they had been back then.

In those days, he had only been a child and his martial arts had not yet reached the level it had now.

At that time, because of his poor health, he had been unable to cultivate martial arts like others.

The only thing he could practice was his internal energy.

For that reason, he had been exceptionally diligent and it was one of the reasons his internal energy had become so outstanding.

Being born into a family of emperors and nobles, he had always needed to learn skills that could help him preserve his own life.

“So you brought me here to take advantage of the terrain?” Yue Mingxuan asked while taking the opportunity to look around.

The place was indeed beautiful, but the mountains were steep.

Without a certain level of skill, climbing them would be impossible.

“You’re so smart,” Rong Qinglei said.

He then pulled Yue Mingxuan along and leaped onto a huge rock.

The boulder was towering and imposing.

Yue Mingxuan feel he might fall off at any moment as he standing on top of it.

“Next, you’re going to fall.”

“Fall?” Yue Mingxuan was stunned.

If he were to fall directly from such a height, it would surely kill someone!

He stared at Rong Qinglei with an incredulous expression, only to find that the latter looked perfectly calm.

“That’s right. You’re going to fall.”

“And then?”

“When you fall, gather all your internal energy into your feet,” Rong Qinglei explained seriously. “Do your best to land on your feet, but make sure you don’t injure them in the process.”

Yue Mingxuan roughly understood what Rong Qinglei meant. Still, he could not help trembling a little.

“When you learned to use internal energy back then… did you really learn it like this?”

“More or less. Back then my internal energy wasn’t very strong, so I fell quite a few times,” Rong Qinglei said casually as if it had never been anything serious.

But in truth, his body had not been like this in those days.

At that time, his heart ailment had been extremely severe.

If he had fallen from here, it would not simply have been a matter of getting injured.

When his heart condition flared up, it could become very dangerous.

Yet in order to practice martial art, he had always endured it silently.

Naturally, he had no intention of telling Yue Mingxuan any of this.

“So learning to use internal energy isn’t easy at all…” Yue Mingxuan murmured.

In the imperial palace, everyone worked hard.

Even Rong Qinglei whose health had always been poor had still been forced to train his martial arts.
