The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

The three of them traveled together and chatted happily all the way.

The farther away from the palace, the more lively the crowd became.

"Hot sesame flatbread, fresh out of the oven!"

"Don't miss out! If you have money, please support us financially; if you don't have money, please show your support by showing your presence!"

"Sharpening scissors and knives!"

As expected of the capital city.

The streets and alleys were filled with the lively atmosphere of everyday life. Despite the noise and bustle, Shen Mo felt a sense of peace.

Chen Henian stopped and cupped his hands, saying, "Eunuch Shen, let's each attend to our own matters first, and then meet again at Jiuzhen Restaurant after sunset. I will host the banquet."

"Very good."

Shen Mo nodded in agreement. Unlike the two of them, they did indeed go out to purchase supplies during the day, otherwise they wouldn't have brought a few eunuchs as attendants.

Immediately, the three of them dispersed.

Shen Mo changed into casual clothes before leaving the palace and took the opportunity to wander around.

"It's a pity that candied hawthorn has already been invented, otherwise we could have given the princess another snack."

Shen Mo saw the vendor selling candied hawthorns and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, so he spent five coins to buy a skewer to try.

The taste was pretty good.

It's just that in this day and age there are no trash cans, so littering is considered immoral.

Just as Shen Mo was worrying, a little kid wearing open-crotch pants walked by. He casually stuck a bamboo skewer into the kid's butt crack. The little kid was completely unaware and ran off happily.

"Holy crap, this young man!"

"That's unethical."

Several middle-aged women pointed and whispered behind his back, while Shen Mo strolled leisurely, whistling, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

A disdainful look came from not far away.

Shen Mo looked up and found that the person whose gaze was directed at him was a woman with red lips and white teeth, with a sword at her waist. Her appearance and attire resembled that of a female knight-errant who roamed the world with a sword.

"Get the hell out of my way if you don't want to die!"

A horse-drawn carriage came speeding by, kicking up a cloud of dust. Everyone tried to avoid it, but the child stood there dumbfounded in the middle of the road.

In this situation, no one dared to rescue the child; the child's fate seemed sealed.

In the blink of an eye.

Shen Mo and the woman moved almost simultaneously. Shen Mo took the first step, but the female warrior, who was behind, caught up and rolled to the side.

The arrogant coachman showed no intention of stopping, leaving Shen Mo stranded in the middle of the road.

At this point, there is no way to avoid it.

The female knight-errant frowned; it was too late for her to save him.

boom--

With a muffled thud, the horse's neck was blasted open by the force of the punch, killing it instantly. The momentum of its forward charge still slammed into Shen Mo.

At this moment, Shen Mo's skin turned slightly red, and there was a faint golden light flowing across its surface.

The Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the Vajra King Power are used simultaneously.

He seemed rooted to the spot, remaining completely still and not even flinching after being hit, while the carriage was overturned.

"Okay! Okay!"

Passersby were amazed and applauded enthusiastically.

The child's mother arrived late, crying as she hugged her son tightly: "My little Shitou, you scared me to death! Wait, what's that bamboo skewer on your bottom?"

"Who? Which bastard?"

A rich young man dressed in fine clothes climbed out of the sedan chair, his forehead bleeding from the banging, but he was cursing under his breath.

Someone recognized the man and exclaimed, "It looks like the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue!"

Upon hearing this, most of the crowd vanished instantly.

This is the son of a high-ranking official of the second rank; even watching the spectacle could get them into trouble.

"Haven't you heard that he's the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue? Aren't you afraid?" Shen Mo looked at the female knight with curiosity.

The woman swallowed hard, then feigned bravado and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Besides, you're the one who knocked him and his horse down. You're the one who should be afraid."

"Only a second-rank official."

Shen Mo shook his head, completely disregarding the other party.

He was a eunuch, so any authority over him was the responsibility of the palace; no official outside could control him.

"You two scoundrels blocked my way and even killed my horse!"

Wang Zhi stared intently at Shen Mo and the woman beside him, trembling with rage. In all his years of tyrannical rule, he had never seen anyone dare to stop his carriage.

The female swordsman said coldly, "Hey! Which eye of yours saw that he and I are husband and wife?"

"See for yourself."

Shen Mo was too lazy to explain to the other party and simply tossed his identity token over.

Wang Zhi frowned as he looked at the identity token and asked, "Shen Mo, the steward of the Cold Palace, are you a eunuch?"

Shen Mo rolled his eyes. Who else could work in the Cold Palace but a eunuch or your father?

How could someone ask such an idiotic question? They must have been playing the fool for too long.

"Holy crap! You're a eunuch."

The female knight-errant was even more surprised than Shen Mo, and took a few steps back, seemingly somewhat disgusted.

Shen Mo was too lazy to argue with them, and simply said, "This young master Wang, is he? Do you still want to pursue this matter? I was ordered to leave the palace to purchase supplies this time. If I'm delayed, can you take responsibility?"

Putting everything else aside, let me first put a hat on your head!

The charge of disrupting the operation of the palace is one that neither Wang Zhi nor his father, the Vice Minister of Revenue, could bear, let alone Wang Zhi.

"Young master, are you alright?"

At this moment, the arrogant coachman who had been thrown out earlier woke up and immediately came to Wang Zhi's side.

Wang Zhi snorted coldly, threw the token back to Shen Mo, and turned to leave with a gloomy face.

"It's a pity that my good mood was ruined by this kind of trash."

Shen Mo shook his head helplessly and decided to go wander around somewhere else.

Unexpectedly, the female knight caught up with them.

"Eunuch Shen, Eunuch Shen, wait for me!"

"Why are you walking so fast? Am I that scary?"

Shen Mo's lips twitched slightly. This was the first time he had been addressed as "Eunuch" by someone outside the palace, and it felt rather strange.

So, they stopped.

"Heroine, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I have a name, my name is Su Chan!"

Su Chan smiled and looked Shen Mo up and down, paying particular attention to a certain spot, as if it were the first time she had ever met a eunuch.

Shen Mo cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "Miss Su, please spare me. What exactly do you want?"

"I don't need anything! I just think you're a good person and I want to help you. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Su Chan said confidently.

Shen Mo was about to say that he needed to stay away from him, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that even if he didn't ask Su Chan, he would have to ask someone else.

At the same time, I took this opportunity to get rid of her.

The sole purpose of this trip was to find a temple, as Uncle Yang had suggested, to listen to sutras and worship Buddha, thereby eliminating the unusual state experienced during the practice of Vajra Vidyaraja Kung Fu.

"There is something I need to know. Do you know which temples are nearby?"

"What a coincidence? You didn't investigate me, did you?" Su Chan's eyes widened in surprise.

Shen Mo smiled expressionlessly and was about to leave when Su Chan stopped him again: "Do you even know where I live?"

"I'm not interested in where you live, thank you."

"My home is Suxin Nunnery on the mountain west of the city."
