Chapter 6: Hei Yi Yue Bing

  The next day at noon, the middle-aged maid who always quietly exited after putting down the meal said lightly as she came in: "Third Master, the mistress is asking for you to go out."

  Yueyang followed her out of the outer hall and found a beautiful woman hugging a woman in black, constantly wiping away tears.

  The mischievous little girl put on a well-behaved look, sitting in front of the table eating, her small hands holding chopsticks and taking small bites, rice grains scattered all over, and her mouth was also dirty. When Yueyang looked at the black-clothed woman again, he found that she wasn't very old, about 14 or 15 years old, with a face similar to that of a beautiful woman, but with a more childish and tender look.

  Her eyes were slightly red, and her jade face still had tears on it.

  She saw Yueyang come out and immediately wiped it away, and then covered her face with the black gauze that had fallen around her neck.

  Yueyang sighed inwardly.

  In the Dragon Soaring Continent, if a woman wore black veils to cover her face, apart from extremely rare female thieves, there was only one kind of person - widows.

  The woman in black should be Yao Bing, the eldest daughter of the beautiful woman.

  She was the seventh among the nine younger generation of the Yue family, only above her sister Xue Er and the second house's Xiao Jiu Yue Feng. She was a genius among the younger generation of the Yue family, successfully contracting with the Treasure Pavilion at the age of eight and a half. Unfortunately, the Dragon Continent valued males over females, believing that women were mainly for intermarriage or imperial concubinage, and would eventually be married off to others. As a result, the attention she received was not as high as that given to the eldest son and heir, Yue Tian, or even the other male members of the household. Moreover, this generation of the Yue family had many geniuses: the eldest son Yue Tian contracted with the Treasure Pavilion at the age of ten, with excellent innate talent and a fine war beast; the fourth son Yue Yan successfully contracted at the age of eleven; and the sixth son Yue Bao also succeeded in contracting at the age of twelve.

  The slightly weaker ones are the second daughter Yue Yu and the fifth son Yue Feng, both of whom successfully contracted with the Treasure Dictionary at the age of fifteen.

  So, in comparison, the four houses' Yue Bing wasn't particularly outstanding either. Her innate talent and beast were both plant-type, which people generally looked down upon. Among the four major sects, only the Ling Xian Pavilion, who only accepted female disciples, sent someone to observe her, with the intention of taking a look. The other three sects didn't react at all.

  Because there are countless geniuses among the younger generation of the Yue family, and after the parents of the third house passed away, he was adopted by the fourth house as a son, at the age of 19, he still couldn't contract with the treasure book. He thought that if he didn't become a waste, it wouldn't be possible... Yue Yang thought to himself, no wonder Miss Xue proposed a divorce, if she married into such a family full of geniuses and ended up marrying such a useless husband, how could she bear it?

  People are compared to people, and they are killed by gas. The cup boy who was severely hit after being returned for marriage jumped into the river and committed suicide.

  Unfortunately, Yue Bing did not!

  Of course, she wasn't jilted, but her fiancé who was arranged to marry her since childhood, the genius young master of the Wind family, one of the four major families, unfortunately got killed by a Golden Emperor Beast that happened to pass by during his trial three years ago, making her a young widow before she even entered their household.

  The people of Longteng Continent are very superstitious and generally believe that this little girl has a bad fate and is a widow.

  So even though it was the Yue family, one of the four major families, no one dared to propose marriage again. After all, every family's son is precious, and no one wants to sacrifice their son just to climb up the social ladder.

  "Third brother, congratulations." Hei Yi Yue Bing said in a low voice, gently breaking free from her mother's embrace, preparing to return to her room.

  "Your third brother is not an outsider, Ice. You don't have to go back to your room for dinner. It's nothing for a family to eat together." The beautiful woman had Hei Yebing sit down.

  "Yes." Hei Yi Yue Bing hesitated for a moment, then pulled down his black veil, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and counted the grains of rice one by one as he ate. Suddenly, he asked Yue Yang: "What kind of war beast is the life-protecting war beast that Third Brother obtained?"

  "Fog of elemental class." Yuezhang realized that he hadn't spoken the truth since crossing over.

  "I'm not good at elemental classes, I'm a student of the Academy's minor department, only proficient in Beast-type Plant System, and know nothing about elemental classes." Hei Yi Yue Bing held the bowl silently for a while, then whispered: "Or, I can give you a lowest-level and easiest-to-summon Spit Thorn Flower, but that would waste one-tenth of San Ge's summoning treasure book."

  "It's nothing." Yueyang knew his own secrets, having a "phantom" that existed for as long as ten days, and possessing the innate Broken Body Formless Sword Qi. The number of pages in the Bronze Treasure Classic and the quantity of battles were not the most important things.

  But the little girl also taught herself and followed her to learn a bit.

  Firstly, to deal with the lower-ranking female officer; secondly, to familiarize himself with various basic summoning techniques, which might come in handy during future battles.

  Hei Yi didn't say much, she nodded slightly and continued to eat her rice in silence. The little girl stood up on the chair, stretching out her chopsticks to grab a piece of smoked fish from afar. Watching her with one hand supporting herself against the table and the other reaching forward, Yue Yang couldn't help but feel anxious for this little thing, thinking please don't fall over. The beautiful woman lightly hit her, scolding her for being impolite and not knowing how to eat properly. The little girl was startled, but still managed to grab a big piece of smoked fish, and when she straightened up, her face was full of pride, making a silly face at Yue Yang beside her.

  Who wouldn't want to get too proud and forget oneself? The chair shook, her two little legs couldn't stand firm, and with a cry of 'ah', she fell to the ground.

  Yueyang bowl was thrown, and before Xiaoyao's head hit the ground, he used a flying motion like saving a basketball to support her little head and buttocks with both hands.

  The force was too strong, and his body slid out two meters away.

  Luckily both hands were still steady and didn't let Xiaoyao drop to the ground.

  "Wow, Brother Xiao San is so amazing!" Little Ya Tou was initially frightened pale, but after recovering, she immediately forgot everything and jumped down, pounced on Yue Yang's body, hugged him, and rolled into a ball.

  The beautiful woman came back to her senses and stood up in a rage to scold this little thing.

  The little girl didn't take advantage of the situation in front of her and immediately ran away.

  "Third son, are you okay?" The beautiful woman's heart ached as she stretched out her hand to help Yueyang up.

  "No, nothing." Yuyang couldn't show weakness in front of her, so he immediately jumped up from the ground... In fact, he wasn't hurt at all, and the few seconds of stunned silence were due to his shock at his own agility. When did his otaku physique become so nimble? Was this the effect of practicing the Innate Breaking Body Formless Sword Qi for just a few days?

  This innate broken body formless sword energy is indeed awesome!

  Yueyang was extremely excited in his heart, but on the surface he pretended as if nothing had happened and sat back down at the table to continue eating.

  Hei Yi looked at Yue Yang with a hint of surprise, holding a small bowl, and after a long time, he finally spoke up: "Third Brother usually practices martial skills, right? I also occasionally practice martial skills, but just now I still couldn't react in time. Third Brother, if you can find a way to contract a strengthening-type beast, and combine it with the elemental-type 'Fog', your combat strength will definitely make great progress. It seems that the non-attacking 'Fog' is indeed the most suitable for Third Brother's growth."

  The beautiful woman listened and felt a little happy about her third son's diligence, seriousness and self-improvement, but more was worry.

  In her mind, combat skills were mercenary skills, and summoning was truly promising!

  She handed Yang a delicious and juicy pork rib: "San Er, you've been hiding from us for so long, secretly practicing your combat skills is not bad, in the past there was no treasure book, that's just the way it was. Now that we have the summoning treasure book, the focus should still be on developing our summoning abilities, and combat skills can be practiced as a supplement, don't let your main practice of combat skills hold back your future."

  It was actually Bao Zhuang who secretly practiced martial arts before, not me... These words were left unspoken by Yueyang classmate, nodding in agreement with the beautiful woman.

  He also knew that in the eyes of the people on the Dragon Continent, practicing martial skills and practicing summoning were not comparable.

  People who practice martial arts are like migrant workers who drop out of junior high school to work in the city, while those who practice summoning are like university graduates from prestigious schools. Even if two people enter the same company and do the same thing, the treatment they receive will be completely different!

  After lunch, Hei Yi followed Yue Yang back to his small courtyard residence.

  Prepare to pass on what she learned in college to this fake third brother of Yueyang...
