Chapter 416: The Rat Is Ready to Escape

The kowtowing was very loud, but the ancestral hall was very quiet.

The elders all stared at Yu Huang’s back with admiration and thought to themselves, “The Young Master is so mighty!”

The members in charge felt uneasy.

What did she mean by letting all the rats that lived in the gutter appear in the sun?

Yin Mingchong understood as well that Yu Huang had never been a pushover. She’d returned this time precisely to challenge him!

After she acknowledged her ancestors, Yu Huang became the real young master of the Yin family. That afternoon, the chief steward of the Yin family personally invited Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao into the young master’s residence.

The Young Master’s Mansion was very close to the courtyard where Yu Huang and Yin Mingjue used to live. Yu Huang stood in her small courtyard and looked up to see the red elm tree.

She stared at the red elm tree and recalled the situation when the academy sent them to the Yin Clan to fight for the red elm fruit two years ago.

At that time, who would have thought that the ugly masked woman would return in a high profile manner and become the Yin Clan’s young master?

Sheng Xiao stared at the red elm tree and said, “I heard that when you graduated from the first grade, the dean gave you the test to come to the Yin family and take away a red elm tree root?”

“Yes, that red elm tree root has already sprouted in the academy.”

Sheng Xiao nodded. “It was also at that time that you summoned my Black Qing Sky Dragon in public. From then on, your name spread throughout the Divine Moon Empire’s cultivation world.”

Yu Huang recalled the challenge and couldn’t help but think of Na Luo. “In that group challenge, in order to let the Divine Realm Academy win, Na Luo once used her strength to turn the tide.”

Thinking back to the scene of them fighting side by side, Yu Huang couldn’t help but feel regretful. The passion at that time was real, and the friendship was real, but their positions were different, so they were destined to go against each other.

At the mention of Na Luo, Sheng Xiao didn’t know how to comfort Yu Huang.

At this moment, an old but dignified male voice suddenly sounded outside the Yin Clan—

“I heard that the Yin Clan’s Young Master has returned safely. I, Di Ruofeng, came uninvited to meet my grand-disciple and have a chat!”

Di Ruofeng, a top-notch powerhouse who was halfway into the late-stage Prime Master realm, mixed his voice with his spiritual power and it spread throughout the entire Eight Towers Mountain.

At the same time, the temperature of the entire Yin Clan seemed to have instantly dropped by a few degrees.

Di Ruofeng’s arrival alarmed the entire Yin Clan. For a moment, the Yin Clan members raised their heads and looked into the sky outside the Eight Towers Mountain.

A domineering ice-blue mount stood in the sky while Dean Di stood on the head of his mount and looked down at the Yin Clan.

In the office building of the Yin Clan’s Eight Towers Mountain, a few stewards stood by the window and stared at the dean’s figure. They couldn’t help but exclaim, “The dean of the Divine Realm Academy, the mentor of Prime Master Yin Mingjue, actually came to the Yin Clan so quickly!”

“If the dean came to the Yin Clan, the Yin Clan would definitely open the door to welcome him. Why is he shouting loudly outside the door?”

The stewards looked at each other and quickly guessed the true meaning of Di Ruofeng’s actions.

As the dean of the Divine Realm Academy, Yin Mingchong’s alma mater, Di Ruofeng would definitely be treated as an honored guest by Yin Mingchong if he visited the Yin Clan.

There were only two reasons why he made such a grand entrance—

Firstly, he wanted to protect his grand-disciple, Yu Huang!

Secondly, he wanted to warn Yin Mingchong and the group of stewards not to bully Yu Huang!

The stewards had ugly expressions.

Yu Huang had many powerful backers to begin with. She had Saint Ling Xiao backing her up on the left, the Grand State Master on the right, and the Sheng family as her backer. Now, the old dean of the Divine Realm Academy was her shield.

Any one of these four people could cause a commotion in the cultivation world with a casual stomp of their feet.

The four of them gathered together and protected Yu Huang. They were the most determined protective shield in the world!

They were Yu Huang’s saviors!

They were Yu Huang’s sources of confidence!

“Dean!” Yin Mingchong immediately flew into the sky when he heard the commotion. He stood in the void and bowed to the dean of his alma mater. “Dean, please enter quickly!”

In front of the Eight Towers Mountain, the towering door slowly opened on both sides.

The Icy Night T-Rex swooped down from the sky with the dean and Anna on its back. Its two claws stopped on the square in front of the Yin Clan’s entrance. A strong wind blew in the wing cave, and the surrounding trees and weeds instantly froze into ice.

Yin Mingchong felt uneasy when he saw this scene from afar.

The dean had always been a low-key and amiable old man. Today, he made such a big fuss, as if he was here to denounce him.

Yin Mingchong hurriedly flew to the Yin Clan’s entrance and personally welcomed the dean into the Yin Clan.

Dean Di placed his hands behind his waist and swayed as he walked, like an old tumbler.

Anna was wearing a long white Lolita dress and a small lace sun hat. She obediently followed behind Dean Di with the Icy Night T-Rex.

The Icy Night T-Rex was a walking ice maker.

When the three different existences were combined, they were surprisingly harmonious.

Yin Mingchong smiled and bent down to speak to the dean. “Dean, if you want to come, why do you have to mobilize so many people? As soon as you stand outside the Eight Towers Mountain, I would definitely open the door myself.”

Dean Di waved his hand and said with a smile, “I didn’t know the rules. I was just excited when I heard that my grand-disciple was still alive and had returned to the clan safely. That disciple of mine had a tough life. He passed away early on and left me a little grand-disciple after he died. Unfortunately, not long after he died, my little grand-disciple was also carried away by bandits…”

Yin Mingchong knew that Dean Di was indeed here to cause trouble when he heard this.

Tomorrow, more powerhouses would head to the Yin Clan.

Tomorrow would be the real bloodbath.

At this moment, the dean pounded his chest with heartache and sighed. “Every year, during the worship festival, I pray for my poor little disciple. Fortunately, the heavens finally heard my prayers and returned my poor little disciple to me.”

“Where’s my little grand-disciple?” The dean shouted with his spiritual power, “My dear grand-disciple, where are you? Come out and see me!”

Yu Huang, who had heard the commotion, immediately spread her wings and flew towards Dean Di. Sheng Xiao followed behind her on his sword.

Yu Huang retracted her wings and landed steadily in front of the dean.

Staring at the beautiful girl in front of him, the dean couldn’t help but burst into tears. So his grand-disciple had already appeared beside him.

What was she so afraid of that she didn’t dare to acknowledge him?

When Yu Huang saw the tears in the dean’s eyes, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. She strode to the dean and knelt down on both knees. She kowtowed and said, “Grand-teacher, please accept my bow!”

The dean accepted her bow.

After Yu Huang finished kowtowing, the dean hurriedly bent down and pulled her up. “Child!” The old dean was both excited and heartbroken over Yu Huang’s hardships. He patted Yu Huang’s shoulder forcefully and sobbed as he sighed. “Child, you’ve suffered. You’ve suffered!”

Yu Huang clenched her fists and held back her tears.

Ever since the Icy Night T-Rex awakened its divine sense, it gained human emotions. It, who hadn’t experienced any evils, was still very pure and kind for the time being.

When it saw that Yu Huang and the old dean had finally acknowledged each other, it was so touched that tears fell. The Icy Night T-Rex spoke in human language and sighed. “How pitiful. How lamentable. How fortunate. Congratulations!”

Ever since he started studying, the Icy Night T-Rex had been deliberately speaking in a genteel manner.

Anna found the Icy Night T-Rex embarrassing and deliberately scolded fiercely, “Shut up!”

The Icy Night T-Rex immediately shut its mouth.

Yin Mingchong waited for the dean to calm down before saying, “Dean, I’ve already prepared tea. Why don’t you come to my place to catch up with Ah Huang?”

“Tomorrow, the Yin Clan will hold a homecoming banquet for Yu Huang. Patriarch Yin must be very busy, so I won’t disturb you.” The old dean patted the back of Yu Huang’s hand and said lovingly, “Child, bring me to your Young Master’s Mansion for a chat!”

“Alright!”

When he saw the dean and Yu Huang go to the Young Master’s Mansion, Yin Mingchong was secretly glad that he’d already gotten someone to help Yu Huang move into the Young Master’s Mansion earlier. Otherwise, he would have to suffer the dean’s scolding again.

Yin Mingchong returned to the office building, and the butler who was in charge of the banquet tomorrow passed a list to Yin Mingchong.

“Patriarch, today, all the Beast Tamer Hotels in Jingdu are full. It is said that these people on the list are guests who will attend the Young Master’s homecoming banquet tomorrow.”

“Please take a look.”

Yin Mingchong acknowledged and waited for his subordinate to leave before flipping open the name list.

On the list, there was a long list of big shots—

Caro Xiangfu!

Liuli Xiangsi!

Prime Emperor Dino!

Grand Master Gold Ingot!

Elven Prince Donor!

The head of the Stuling family, Carasso Stuling!

The Lion Spirit Grand Master of the Lion King Clan of the Beast Clan, Grand Master Qingying of the Merman Clan…

Yin Mingchong suddenly closed the name list and closed his eyes while the appearances of these big shots appeared in his mind.

Who would dare to believe that these famous big shots were actually going to participate in the homecoming banquet tomorrow?!

Yin Mingchong suddenly felt uneasy when he thought of Zhou Buwen’s strange disappearance.

If Zhou Buwen also appeared at the homecoming banquet tomorrow and accused him of his crimes on the spot, he would definitely be charged with harming his family and mistreating the descendant of a mighty figure.

With these two charges, he could spend the rest of his life in jail!

The Beast Tamer Prison had a total of 18 floors. The lower the floor, the more terrifying the punishment.

Yin Mingchong instantly felt extremely uneasy when he thought about how he would spend the rest of his life in prison.

No way!

He couldn’t sit back and do nothing!

The temptation of the Yin Clan’s Patriarch position was indeed very great, but no matter how great it was, one had to be alive to enjoy it!

Yin Mingchong suddenly stood up and left the office building before swiftly returning to his small building. His young wife was sitting in the main hall while watching television.

When she saw Yin Mingchong return, she stood up in shock. “Husband, why have you returned at this hour?”

Yin Mingchong glanced deeply at his beautiful and young wife, then shook his head and explained in a low voice. “I came back to get something.”

“Do you need me to help you find it?”

“There’s no need.”

Yin Mingchong turned around and entered the room before quickly coming out. When he came out, the woman noticed that an interspatial ring had appeared on Yin Mingchong’s finger.

“Husband, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll get the kitchen to cook for you.” The woman walked over and leaned against Yin Mingchong, and her delicate body practically hung onto him.

If it was any other time, Yin Mingchong would definitely have pressed her down and had some fun. However, he was flustered today, so he had no time to fool around.

“Just make something.” Yin Mingchong pushed the woman away and strode out of the room.

The woman waited for Yin Mingchong to leave before entering the room.

When she noticed that the dark room Yin Mingchong used to store the treasure had been opened, a mocking look flashed across the woman’s eyes. He was planning to take the treasure and escape!

She hurriedly picked up her phone and sent Yu Huang a message.

[The mouse is ready to slip away.]

Yu Huang, who was chatting with the old dean, heard her phone ring. She picked it up and took a look.

Seeing this message, Yu Huang smiled.

“Grand Master.” Yu Huang suddenly said to the old dean with a serious expression, “I’ve long suspected that someone in the Yin Clan colluded with that bandit when I was stolen.”

“For this, I deliberately set up my psychic net in the Yin Clan. Just now, I discovered that someone had secretly walked towards the secret passageway at the back of the Eight Towers Mountain. That person must have felt guilty and prepared to escape.”

Yu Huang blinked at the old dean and said, “I heard that the August melons at the back of the mountain are about to ripen. They’re especially delicious. Grand Master, let’s go to the back of the mountain to pick the August melons!”

The old dean shook his head and clicked his tongue twice. He said, “Your father was an upright young man. How did he give birth to a little fox like you?”

“However, I haven’t eaten an August melon in many years. Let’s go to the back of the mountain and pluck two to try!”
