“Father, if it wasn’t for the First Elder stepping in today, that old thing Yin Mingchong would have succeeded!” Yu
Huang looked at her father’s body and said with lingering fear, “You only have a mortal bone now, so how can you
withstand the clan whip?”
If that whip had really struck Yu Donghai, he would have died.
Yu Donghai didn’t take this matter to heart. He said, “Yin Mingchong wanted to kill me to silence me. But under the
eyes of the First Elder, it won’t be so easy for him to kill me.”
“The lives of slaves are very cheap. In the past, many slaves died like that under the lash. I’m considered lucky.
I’ve been a slave for more than ten years, but I’ve never been whipped.”
A satisfied and happy smile appeared on Yu Donghai’s face. He sighed and said, “The Young Master couldn’t bear
to hit me. If I did something wrong when I was young, at most, the Young Master will punish me by letting me
reflect on my mistakes. The Young Master was really a good person.”
Yu Huang knew that the slaves had had a hard time in the past, but she didn’t expect their lives to be so difficult.
“By the way, Father, can we trust these elders?”
Yu Donghai thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t returned to the Yin Clan for 20 years. I’m not sure who Yin
Mingchong has bribed. Those ten elders had followed the Young Master in the past. However, the human heart is
difficult to figure out.”
“However, the First Elder can be trusted.”
“Oh really?” Yu Huang had the deepest impression of that First Elder. After all, he had saved Yu Donghai today.
“First Elder Yin Jingyun is already more than 300 years old this year. He’s the person with the highest cultivation
level in the clan. Twenty years ago, he was already at the late-stage Grand Master realm. Now, he’s probably
already approaching the peak of the late-stage Grand Master realm. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a
Prime Master.”
“First Elder Yin Jingyun and your grandfather were close friends. When your grandfather was alive, he was your
grandfather’s right-hand man. After the Young Master became the clan leader, the First Elder taught him
everything. The First Elder was like a father and a teacher to him.”
Yu Huang nodded and said, “Speaking of being like a father and a teacher, my identity has been made public this
time. I believe that after the dean receives the news, he will also make a trip to the Yin Clan.”
“Of course.” Yu Donghai smiled and said proudly, “You’re his grand-disciple.”
The dean was unmarried and had no children. His disciples and grand-disciples were like his children and
grandchildren.
Knowing that the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue was still alive, how could he sit still?
Yu Huang thought of the debate in three days and was looking forward to it.
Yu Donghai continued, “I didn’t see Linyuan in the banquet hall today. It seems that Linyuan isn’t in the Yin Clan
either.”
Yu Huang hurriedly asked, “Is the Linyuan you’re talking about my father’s only personal disciple, Senior Brother Ji
Linyuan?”
“Yes.”
Yu Donghai told Yu Huang, “Linyuan was a disciple your father brought back from the Upper World. He is also the
only person in this world who knows your mother’s identity.”
Yu Huang’s pupils instantly widened.
So someone knew her mother’s whereabouts!
“I’ve met Senior Brother Linyuan twice, but I don’t think he knows me.”
“Oh really?” Yu Donghai hurriedly asked, “Where have you seen him before?”
Yu Huang said, “The Myriad Book Pavilion.”
Yu Donghai was a little surprised. “Why would he go to the Myriad Book Pavilion?”
“I don’t know either.”

Yu Donghai nodded. He said thoughtfully, “Now, the news of Young Master Yin’s return has already spread
throughout the entire Holy Spirit Continent. The Myriad Book Pavilion is a lively place. If Linyuan receives news of
your safe return, he will definitely return to assist you.”
“I’m looking forward to reuniting with him.”
At this moment, Sheng Xiao appeared outside the window. He knocked on the glass window and said
softly, “I’m tired. It’s time to rest.”
Yu Huang looked at her watch. It was already 1:20 AM. It was indeed time for her father to rest.
“Rest well, Father. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang left Yu Donghai’s room and sat with Sheng Xiao at the stone table in the courtyard for a
while. The houses here were traditional style, but the facilities in the houses were very modern.
There was a coffee machine.
Sheng Xiao made two cups of black coffee. He used the coffee beans produced by the Yin family. The
beans were slightly sour and bitter.
Yu Huang took a sip and frowned as she said, “This doesn’t taste good. It’s not as good as the coffee
at our house by Lovers Lake.”
Sheng Xiao smiled. “You’re really picky. Those coffee beans were given to me by Prince Donor. They
were produced in the Light Sea. Coffee beans from the Light Sea are famous and very expensive. One
cup of that is worth a thousand cups of this.”
Yu Huang was speechless and sighed. “Your relationship with him is quite good.”
Sheng Xiao said, “Not as good as me and you.”
“Of course. He can only fight with you. I can’t only fight with you, but sleep with you.”
Sheng Xiao was amused by her explicit words. He closed his mouth and didn’t argue with the pervert.
The two of them were drinking when they suddenly noticed a black shadow flying over from afar. It
landed on the top of a tree and flew towards the small building where the Yin Clan disciples lived.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at each other. Then, they flew to the roof and sat quietly on the roof
to watch the mysterious person’s actions.
The man crouched on the roof of the house and uncovered the tiles. He observed one building after
another, as if looking for someone.
Seeing this, Yu Huang frowned and said, “Could he be a rapist?”
Sheng Xiao smiled. “No, it’s an acquiantance.”
An acquaintance?
Yu Huang observed carefully and realized that the person’s figure was a little familiar, especially the red
hair that looked brassy under the moonlight.
“Senior Xiao Shu?” Yu Huang suddenly raised her voice.
Hearing someone call out his name, Xiao Shu, who was lying on the roof of a house, was shocked. He
almost dropped the tile in his hand on the roof.
He quickly covered the tiles and then looked up in the direction of the sound.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were both wearing black pajamas. They were sitting on the dark roof. If one
didn’t look carefully, it wouldn’t be obvious.
After Xiao Shu recognized the two of them, he suddenly calmed down.
He flew towards them and sat down beside Sheng Xiao. “Professor Sheng, Yu Huang, why aren’t you
hiding in your room making babies in the middle of the night? Why are you sitting on the roof?”
It was indeed Xiao Shu. He spoke frivolously and didn’t know what was inappropriate or not.
Sheng Xiao looked at Xiao Shu coldly. Xiao Shu quickly covered his mouth and slapped himself. “I was
wrong. I said the wrong thing. The bright moon is in the sky tonight. It’s suitable for admiring the moon.”
Yu Huang chuckled and took over. She said, “It’s also suitable for going up the roof to take off the tiles
and peek at a girl sleeping?”
Xiao Shu blushed. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m looking for someone.”
Sheng Xiao said, “You’re looking for Yin Rong.”
Xiao Shu was silent.
Yu Huang pointed at a courtyard house diagonally behind her. She told Xiao Shu, “That’s Yin Rong’s
small courtyard.”
Xiao Shu nodded and was about to fly over when he heard Sheng Xiao say, “You’re here to take her
away, right?”
Xiao Shu stopped.
Xiao Shu sat beside Sheng Xiao again and asked him, “How did you know?”
Sheng Xiao told him what he was thinking. He said, “You heard that Yu Huang is the young master of
the Yin family and expected the situation in the Yin family to change drastically. You were worried that
Yin Rong would be implicated, so you want to take her away. Am I right?”
Xiao Shu’s expression changed for a while before he said, “Yin Rong is Yin Mingchong’s adopted
daughter. After the new clan leader takes office, will she have a good ending?” With that, Xiao Shu
looked at Yu Huang.
Yu Huang snorted and didn’t say anything.
Sheng Xiao said, “She won’t go with you.”
Xiao Shu was silent for a moment before asking, “Why?”
“Because she wants to avenge her parents and sister who died tragically, and you… you’re just an
itinerant cultivator. Even if you work for her, you won’t be able to take revenge with her. And the Yin
Clan is powerful, which is exactly what she needs.”
Xiao Shu clenched his fists.
Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Sheng Xiao’s analysis was right.
Yin Rong had a blood feud and had to take revenge, but the help he could give her was limited.
“I believe that Yin Rong has feelings for you, but Xiao Shu, in this world, people don’t only live for love.
Her family has yet to rest in peace, so how can the living be at ease to date?”
“Xiao Shu, instead of wanting to bring her out of this, why don’t you be a man and jump into this with
her? In the future, you two will fight together side by side and share happiness and glory.”
Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shu. His eyes were shining. He said, “If I were you, I
would jump into the sea of misery with her if I couldn’t help her escape. What about you?”
Xiao Shu looked at Sheng Xiao with a complicated expression. After a long while, he gritted his teeth
and scolded, “Sheng Xiao, you’re indeed a sinister scum!”
Sheng Xiao only smiled.
As the young master of the Sheng family and the future patriarch, how could he survive without some sense of
eloquence?
Yu Huang also looked at her man with an amused expression.
She understood that Sheng Xiao was helping her recruit talents.
As for Xiao Shu, he was an itinerant cultivator, but his cultivation talent wasn’t inferior to Yin Rong’s. He was a rare
talent.

When such a talent grew up in the future, he would also become a popular talent that various families would fight
to recruit.
It was indeed wise to win him over before the world noticed him.
Sinister scum!
Xiao Shu was indeed convinced by Sheng Xiao’s words.
If he couldn’t help Yin Rong escape from her misery, he would jump into it with her. Wasn’t this a man’s
responsibility?
Xiao Shu hooked his chin at Yu Huang. “Young Master Yin!”
Yu Huang looked at Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu raised his hands and combed his messy red hair back from his forehead. He hugged the back of his
head and said, “Young Master Yin, let’s make a deal!”
Yu Huang raised her chin at him and said bluntly, “Speak!”
Xiao Shu said, “I think I still have some sort of value. Otherwise, Professor Sheng wouldn’t have needed to help
you recruit me. As for me, although I’m carefree, once I decide to be loyal to someone, I’ll definitely follow them
until I die!”
Yu Huang listened quietly and didn’t refute his boastful words.
“Young Master Yin, I need your promise. If you promise me that you will help Yin Rong take revenge in the future,
then I will follow your orders for the rest of my life!”
Xiao Shu loved freedom the most, so he rejected the offers of many families.
However, he, who treated freedom as his dream, willingly broke the wings on his back tonight and was willing to
serve the Yin Clan.
Yu Huang pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Xiao Shu a question. She said, “We’re still young. Perhaps
you’ll meet an even more outstanding person in the future. You’ll fall in love with someone else. Perhaps Yin Rong
will fall in love with another man in the future. Is it worth it?”
Xiao Shu crossed his legs and lay down on the roof with his hands behind his head. He stared at the moon above
him, as if it contained his lover.
Xiao Shu said in a carefree tone, “At least, I love her passionately and devotedly now. Who cares about the future?
Yu Huang, I’m a person who cares about following my heart.”
Yu Huang smiled. “Then, the deal is settled!”
After they reached an agreement, Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang coldly.
Yu Huang was confused by his gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sheng Xiao frowned and asked, “We’re still young. Perhaps you’ll meet an even more outstanding person in the
future. You’ll fall in love with someone else?” He suddenly leaned close to Yu Huang and stared into her eyes. He
asked angrily, “When you meet a man more outstanding than me in the future, will you fall in love with him?”
What a dilemma.
When Xiao Shu heard this question, he gloated.
Yu Huang poked Sheng Xiao’s index finger with her index finger and said calmly, “Everyone likes strong people,
regardless of gender. I naturally admire the strong.”
Sheng Xiao felt a sense of danger.
However, Yu Huang added, “But if the other party is Sheng Xiao, it doesn’t matter if he’s not that strong.”
Sheng Xiao was stunned. His heart was pounding.
He looked up at the moon and felt its warmth. It warmed his heart.
Xiao Shu, who had expected to see a fight break out, was caught off guard by the PDA. He immediately stopped
laughing.
