Chapter 462: Chapter 83_4

"Yin Family’s Twelve Skills."

Aunt Liu’s mouth curled into an arc, a look of disdain.

Her disdain wasn’t about despising the poor and favouring the rich, for Aunt Liu was someone who could move seamlessly between city life and the countryside, easily switching between various identities.

It mainly concerned inheritance; naturally, she was absolutely confident and proud of her own lineage.

In her eyes, the "Yin Family’s Twelve Skills" was simply beneath acknowledgement.

Li Zhiyuan fully understood this sentiment.

After retracing the complete version of the "Yin Family’s Twelve Skills", he seriously doubted whether this seemingly grand and sophisticated legacy had been altered generation after generation, not just in content complexity but perhaps even including the name.

Originally, it should have had a more domineering name; after all, it was the legacy of Yin Changsheng, the legendary Emperor Fengdu.

It’s like calling a secret family martial arts technique "The Sixth Set of National Middle School Students’ Radio Calisthenics."

"So, Xiao Yuan, did you discern anything from it?" Aunt Liu’s question was just a formality.

Li Zhiyuan sighed in his heart; the dignity of the Yin Family relied on an outsider like himself to maintain.

"Aunt Liu, I’ve just started to understand a bit, like this..."

Li Zhiyuan raised his palm upward and closed his eyes.

At first, Aunt Liu noticed nothing unusual, but suddenly, the study became tranquil, the sound of the wind and insects outside completely cut off.

The youth, with a solemn expression, palm facing up, intoned in a deep voice:

"Four Ghosts Lift the Palanquin."

Despite the boy still seated in front of her, him sitting down and her standing up, in her vision, the figure of the boy seemed to be suddenly elevated, getting higher and higher.

This was an augmentation of aura, as if the youth before her suddenly became very imposing.

Aunt Liu’s lips tightened; she believed that if she were to travel to the underworld right now, she would see a completely different scene.

"Four Ghosts Lift the Palanquin" was taught to her by Yin Fuhai as the simplest of the twelve techniques, meant for the exorcism of evil spirits.

If the main family paid a fair price or recognized their worth, the Yin Family would use this move during séances to kindly and comfortably send off the deceased.

After Li Zhiyuan completed his reverse engineering, he felt glad that the Yin Family had weakened and couldn’t rely on this move for anything more than a "Rebirth Mantra."

In fact, it was part of a complete set of family secret techniques that best exemplified Yin Changsheng’s past elegance and epitomized Emperor Fengdu’s commanding presence.

"Four Ghosts Lift the Palanquin": Ghosts of the four corners, lead my way.

Clearly, this was a move for summoning and commanding ghosts.

Thankfully the descendants of the Yin Family lacked skill and belittled their ancestors’ legacy, or else whoever paid a high price for a séance would have their deceased’s soul taken away – that would be overly filial.

Li Zhiyuan flipped his palm downward and slowly lowered it.

Palanquin lowered.

"Om..."

A sonorous, colorless vibration resonated within the study, the reverberation lingering.

Aunt Liu’s eyes widened. Was this really something called "Yin Family’s Twelve Skills"?

Moreover,

Beginners clumsily imitate, the advanced control at will, the deeply learned integrate and comprehend, yet the youth in front of her had already grasped the essence.

What Aunt Liu didn’t know was that since all the books in Grandmaster’s basement were high-end, Li Zhiyuan’s threshold for understanding a book since he started reading was to comprehend its essence.

The youth didn’t wish to skip steps; he simply lacked basic textbooks, which resulted in him being able to perform complex moves off a diving platform and make very little splash... without yet learning how to swim.

Li Zhiyuan opened his eyes; the majestic demeanor disappeared, and he reverted to a boy’s excitement and pride after boasting: "Aunt Liu, I find Meng Meng’s family’s books really fun."

Aunt Liu was at a loss for words as she tasted the soup of a single bite, knowing well that the youth was clever, but now she suddenly realized she had underestimated him!

"Meng Meng said, if someone really wants to understand and master their family’s techniques, they must return to Fengdu, perform incense burning and sacrificial rituals in Ghost City to seek Emperor Fengdu’s protection and recognition.

Anyway, I don’t need to attend the freshmen military training that’s coming up, so I can take the chance to go back to Fengdu for a visit and look around; the scenery there is beautiful and it’s fun."

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement at first, then her expression changed.

Wait, was Yin Meng trying to induct you into the Yin Family?

Secretly learning another family’s techniques was not a big deal if that family was weak or didn’t pursue the matter, but to go to Fengdu Ghost City to set up a table for rituals, that’s a different nature.

It’s as if you’ve been admitted by another university.

"Xiao Yuan, sit for a while longer; I’ll check why Grandma Liu hasn’t come back."

"Okay."

"Oh, by the way, don’t go out during this time because we’re going to move. Grandma Liu has some old friends at the university. They’ve invited her to move into the school. Alii has a lot of stuff, and you’ll need to help pack and tidy up."

"Understood."

Aunt Liu left the study, and when the door closed, even with Li Zhiyuan’s hearing, he couldn’t catch her footsteps anymore.

Li Zhiyuan opened the study door, went upstairs, and entered Alii’s room.

The girl was holding a cell stick, pushing along the ancestral tablets, each wood carving fluttering evenly.

Li Zhiyuan squatted down, holding the box, while she continued to push, and he slowly packed.

The two seemed to return to their past days at Grandmaster’s House, working on crafts together.

While working, Li Zhiyuan also recounted everything that had just happened, including Grandma Liu’s thoughts and his own plans.

He didn’t want to hide anything from her, even if such matters were only to be understood and not discussed openly; he didn’t want any secrets between them, especially since she was a girl who was willing to open her heart for him to see.
