“You guys can keep up the PDA. I’m slipping away.”

The PDA was such an eyesore.

Xiao Shu waved his hand and got up to fly down from the house. Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Are you planning to spend the night outside?”

Only then did Xiao Shu remember that it was night time. If he ran around the Yin Clan, he would definitely be arrested for trespassing.

Yu Huang chuckled and pointed at the row of houses on the west side of the small courtyard. She said, “My father sleeps in the second room in the west wing. There’s an empty room at the end. You can go there tonight.”

“Alright!”

With the accommodation settled, Xiao Shu jumped off the roof and quickly returned to the guest room.

Why did people show off affection?

Naturally, it was because there were people watching, so they needed to show off their love.

The only audience went to sleep. There was no need for Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao to show off their love.

Yu Huang raised her head and looked at the bright moon that was so close that it seemed like she could reach out and pluck it. She suddenly smiled and said, “We’ve seen the moon already. Should we return to the house to make babies next?”

Sheng Xiao laughed. “Okay, let’s go back.”

Yu Huang didn’t sleep well that night.

She felt uneasy as soon as she returned to the Yin family. She felt like she was in a tiger’s den. She kept turning over, and Sheng Xiao couldn’t sleep either because of her.

After two hours in bed, they decided to get up early and practice hand-to-hand combat in the yard.

Close combat was Yu Huang’s specialty. She could always successfully take Sheng Xiao by surprise. The fourth time Sheng Xiao was strangled by Yu Huang, he took the initiative to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

“I admit defeat.”

Only then did Yu Huang let go of his throat.

Sheng Xiao bent down and coughed. He saw that Yu Huang’s face was red, but she was still calm. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “You’re so powerful. You must have been a powerhouse in your previous world.”

It had been a long time since Yu Huang recalled her previous life.

Yu Huang couldn’t help but think of her life on Earth during the Doomsday Era. She nodded and said, “Yes, I guess so. Anyway, I was the last human in that world.”

“Were you very lonely?” Sheng Xiao felt lonely for her when he thought about how Yu Huang was the only one living in that huge world.

Yu Huang didn’t deny it and only said, “It’s all in the past.”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before they heard the morning bell ring.

Yu Huang looked at the time. It was only five o’clock.

When the morning bell rang, Yu Huang noticed that the nearby courtyards had lit up. The Yin Clan’s core disciples had woken up.

In next to no time, the Yin Clan disciples were all dressed and arrived at the cultivation platform. They sat cross-legged and meditated while expelling spiritual energy and cultivating calmly.

Morning and midnight were the two times when the spiritual energy was the densest on the Holy Spirit Continent. Only by cultivating at this time could the maximum efficiency be achieved.

At seven o’clock, the disciples ended their cultivation on time and headed to the canteen for breakfast.

A middle-aged woman in a servant uniform arrived at the door of Yu Huang’s small courtyard. Seeing that the door was open, she didn’t dare to enter directly. Instead, she stood outside the door and knocked first.

Yu Huang was sitting in the courtyard and wiping her spiritual sword. When she heard the knock on the door, she raised her head and glanced at the person outside the door before saying, “Please come in.”

The female servant walked into the courtyard and came to Yu Huang’s side. She asked respectfully, “Young Master, Young Master Sheng, it’s time for breakfast. Do you want to eat in the courtyard or go to the canteen?”

Yu Huang thought that her and Sheng Xiao’s appearance in the canteen would cause a commotion, so she said, “In the small courtyard.”

“Alright then.”

The female servant clapped her hands and the servant waiting outside pushed in a breakfast cart filled with various foods.

When Xiao Shu heard the commotion, he also walked out of the guest room.

The female servant noticed that there was a stranger in the courtyard and couldn’t help but take another look at him.

Yu Huang didn’t explain Xiao Shu’s identity to her.

Yu Donghai put on his prosthetic leg again and walked out of the room. When he saw a young man in the courtyard, he asked in confusion, “Who is this child? Is he your friend?”

Xiao Shu hurriedly turned around and gave Yu Donghai a fawning and respectful smile. “Hello, I’m Xiao Shu, a good friend of Young Master Yin and Young Master Sheng. In the future, I will follow Young Master Yin and serve her.”

When Yu Donghai heard this, he immediately realized that this was someone Yu Huang trusted and would be placed in an important position by Yu Huang in the future. Thinking of this, Yu Donghai hurriedly treated him as one of his own.

Yu Donghai patted Xiao Shu’s shoulder and sighed. “Young man, you’re young and handsome. I think you’ll have a promising future!”

“You’re really discerning!”

Yu Donghai stroked Xiao Shu’s wild red hair again and couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you dye your hair? It looks natural.”

Xiao Shu said, “I was born with it.”

Yu Donghai couldn’t help but take a few more glances. He wondered what kind of genes could make one give birth to a child with naturally red hair.

“Alright, let’s have breakfast.”

“Okay.”

After Yu Huang and the others finished their breakfast, the female servant lowered her head and said, “Young Master, the ancestral worship ceremony has been prepared. Young Master, please change your clothes and head to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors.”

“Got it.”

The Yin Clan’s uniform was mainly black and red in color. It was a wine-red suit jacket with black suit pants. On the back of the suit jacket was the word “Yin.”

Yu Huang thought that she would be wearing the Yin Clan’s disciple uniform during the sacrifice.

However, the female servant in charge of taking care of her brought a group of people into the courtyard with six to seven trays filled with clothes and accessories.

When she saw the clothes neatly folded on the tray, Yu Huang knew how grand and complicated the Yin Clan’s Young Master’s uniform was.

“Young Master, I’ll help you change.” The female servant wanted to help Yu Huang wear her clothes, but was rejected by Yu Huang. “No need.” She asked the female servant to send the tray into her room and chased them out.

Yu Huang wasn’t used to being surrounded by a group of women while changing her clothes.

The uniform was a white long dress with a red tassel at the waist. The shawl robe was inlaid with vermillion feathers.

Yu Huang changed into her clan uniform and stared at herself in the mirror. She suddenly realized that from this moment onwards, she would have to bear the burden of the entire Yin Clan.

“Someone is rushing you.” Sheng Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Yu Huang in her Young Master uniform, he became stunned.

“Don’t move. I’ll take a few photos for you and send them to Saint Ling Xiao and Yang Yang to take a look.”

Yu Huang hurriedly posed.

Sheng Xiao took out his phone and took a photo of Yu Huang in the uniform. He sent it to Lin Jiansheng, Sheng Lingfeng, and Sheng Yang through WeChat.

Sheng Xiao put away his phone and walked out with Yu Huang.

In the courtyard, Yu Donghai heard footsteps and raised his head to look at Yu Huang. When he saw Yu Huang’s appearance, Yu Donghai covered his eyes on the spot, lowered his head, and started crying.

He had been looking forward to this day for 21 years!

Yu Huang didn’t have time to comfort Yu Donghai. She brought Sheng Xiao and rushed to the Yin family’s ancestral hall.

The Yin Clan’s ancestral hall was built beside the Cultivation Hall on the Moon Pointing Mountain. The Moon Pointing Tree was in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

When Yu Huang and the others arrived, all the Yin Clan’s elders, Yin Mingchong, and some important managers had changed into the Yin Clan’s official clan uniform and were already waiting here.

Just like Yu Huang, this group of people was wearing moon-white uniforms. They were also wearing cloaks.

Yin Mingchong opened his eyes and stared at Yu Huang a few more times.

It had to be said that when Yu Huang wore the Young Master’s uniform, it made her look even more extraordinary. She looked like the rightful successor of the Yin Clan!

Just like Yin Mingjue was back then.

Yin Mingchong took a deep breath and suppressed the unwillingness in his heart before walking forward and saying to Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, just follow my instructions later.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

There was a tomb guard in the Yin Clan’s ancestral hall. He was the oldest man in the Yin Clan. He was once colleagues with the First Elder, Yin Jingyun.

The gravekeeper’s name was Yin Jingguang, and everyone called him Mr. Guang.

Elder Guang stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and narrowed his eyes as he stared at the group of people approaching from afar. When he saw the appearance of the young woman standing behind Yin Mingchong, Elder Guang was slightly excited.

That child was really still alive!

Yin Mingchong bowed to Elder Guang and said respectfully, “Elder Guang, Young Master Yin Huang has safely returned to the clan. Today, we brought her to the ancestral hall to acknowledge her ancestors.”

Yu Huang also bowed to Elder Guang and greeted respectfully, “Greetings, Senior Guang.”

There was a smile on Elder Guang’s face.

“You don’t look like your father.” Elder Guang stared at Yu Huang’s beautiful face and smiled. “I believe Mingjue’s lover must have been a peerless beauty.”

If Yu Huang didn’t look like her father, then she definitely looked like her mother.

Even the elders of the Yin Clan didn’t know much about Yin Mingjue’s wife. However, from Yu Huang’s devastatingly beautiful face, they could tell that her mother was definitely a peerless beauty.

“It’s good that you’re back. We’re relieved that you’re back.” Elder Guang turned around and opened the ancestral hall’s door with his rich spiritual power.

He stood at the side of the ancestral hall’s door, lowered his head, and shouted, “The door of the ancestral hall is open. Let’s enter the ancestral hall!”

Yin Mingchong brought Yu Huang and the elders into the ancestral hall.

After they entered the ancestral hall, everyone held three Soul Returning Incenses in their hands. Yin Mingchong was like an amiable elder as he led Yu Huang to kowtow to the ancestral tablets.

In order to show their respect, they started to worship their ancestors starting with the founder of the Yin Clan, Prime Master Jing An. Yin Mingjue had the lowest seniority, so Yu Huang worshipped her father the last.

Yin Mingjue had sacrificed himself and died. After he died, his soul and body had already dissipated. The tablets of the other ancestors might still have some of their spiritual senses and energy, but Yin Mingjue’s tablet was really just a wooden tablet.

Even so, Yu Huang was still sincere when she paid respects to her father.

Yin Mingchong held the incense with both hands and could only use his sleeve to wipe his eyes. As he wiped, he said with a choked voice, “Ah Huang, even though your father and I were cousins, we were as close as brothers. After my brother died, I couldn’t sleep the entire night. Now that 21 years have passed, I still don’t dare to forget my brother’s teachings when he was alive.”

“After my elder brother passed away, I accepted the position of the acting Patriarch. With the trust and help of the elders and clansmen, I dilligently took care of the Yin Clan’s businesses and ran everything. I only wanted my elder brother to feel at ease in the netherworld.”

“Brother!” Yin Mingchong’s tears increased. He held the Soul Returning Incense and knelt on the ground while crying towards Yin Mingjue’s tablet. “Now that Ah Huang has returned safely, the entire Yin Clan is very safe. You can rest assured!”

The First Elder and the others watched Yin Mingchong put on an act silently while their eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. However, this was the ancestral hall, so they wouldn’t directly expose him.

On the other hand, the current members of the Yin Clan’s administration had long since been replaced by Yin Mingchong with his trusted aides. When they saw Yin Mingchong crying sorrowfully, this group of trusted aides also wiped their tears and shook their heads.

Yu Huang watched this scene calmly while kneeling beside Yin Mingchong.

Yu Huang raised the Soul Returning Incense high and lowered her head as she said, “Father, Huang’er is back!”

Yin Mingchong echoed from the side. “Brother, did you see that? Ah Huang has returned. She is very outstanding and didn’t disappoint!”

Yu Huang glanced at Yin Mingchong and said, “Father, if you’re really in heaven, you must help Huang’er successfully capture that audacious bandit! Let all the rats that live in the gutter appear in the sunlight and make them have nowhere to escape!”

“Since Huang’er has returned, she will definitely protect the Yin Clan for you and safeguard your legacy! I definitely won’t let those dirty things damage the reputation of the Yin Clan!”

“Father, please accept your daughter’s three bows!” With that said, Yu Huang kowtowed three times to the ground.
