This time, Yu Donghai was on the same side as Lin Jiansheng. He also agreed with Lin Jianshengâs opinion of Yin Mingchong.
âItâs impossible for Yin Mingchong to allow Yin Rong to become the head of the clan. I think that perhaps his own daughter is too weak, and Yin Rong is too dazzling, so he had no choice but to make this decision. When he became the head of the clan all those years ago, his position was unfairly obtained. If he forcefully appointed his daughter as the successor, it would definitely arouse the displeasure of the clansmen.â
âI think choosing Yin Rong to be his successor is just a strategy after weighing the pros and cons. If Yin Rong is obedient and willing to be at his mercy, she might even be able to become a puppet head of the clan. If Yin Rong is unwilling to obey, thenâ¦â
Yu Donghai did not finish his sentence, but Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao understood what he meant.
Yu Huang nodded. âI was thinking the same thing as you.â
âBut Father, Mentor.â Yu Huang looked at the two of them and frowned as she said, âIf we successfully overthrow Yin Mingchong, then who will be the new head of the clan?â
âIâm still young and my abilities are still weak. I canât sit on that seat steadily. I definitely need someone to help me. Father has self-destructed his beast form and is only a commoner now. If he helps me, he will definitely be bullied by the commoners.â At this point, Yu Huang suddenly looked at Lin Jiansheng.
Lin Jiansheng knew what Yu Huang was thinking. He hurriedly said, âIâm not a direct descendant.â
Yu Huang said, âBut youâre a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. Youâre Saint Ling Xiao, and youâre my mentor. If I become a nominal head of the clan, wouldnât it be justifiable for my mentor to help me manage the affairs of the head of the clan?â
Lin Jiansheng rubbed the stubble on his chin with the back of his hand. He raised his head at Kong Qing and said, âKong Qing is stupid and his academics are terrible. I have to tutor him in my spare time.â
Yu Huang smiled and said thoughtfully, âI can find a private tutor for him.â
âKong Qing is a monster. If his true identity is discovered, his life will be in danger. Itâs too dangerous to find someone from the private sector. Theyâre not reliable.â Lin Jiansheng refused to be the acting head of the clan.
He hated working the most.
Yu Donghai suddenly sighed and said, âIf only the Young Masterâs beloved disciple was still here. Lin Yuan is powerful and is Young Masterâs personal disciple. If he supports Ah Huang as the head of the clan, no one will dare to have any objections.â
Lin Jiansheng had not heard Lin Yuanâs name for many years, and he could not help but feel a little dejected.
âLin Yuan?â Lin Jiansheng frowned and thought for a while. Then, he sighed with emotion and said, âNot long after you disappeared, Lin Yuan also disappeared in a huge battle. I donât know if he died or went into seclusion.â
Lin Jiansheng picked up the lime wine and took a sip. He put down the wine glass forcefully, closed his eyes, and sighed. âEvery new sovereign brings his own courtiers.!â
How could the Yin Clan that was controlled by Yin Mingchong have a place for Lin Yuan?
Leaving was the best thing for Lin Yuan.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked each other in the eye and did not say anything. After staying for a while longer at Yu Donghaiâs side, the two of them entered the royal palace and went to have dinner with the Grand State Master.
The Grand State Master asked Yu Huang, âHowâs your cultivation of the Eye of All Things going?â
This time, Yu Huang did not shake her head like before.
Seeing this, the Grand State Masterâs expression suddenly became serious. âWhat did you see?â
Yu Huang looked a little hesitant. She said, âYesterday afternoon, when I last cultivated the Eye of All Things, I seemed to have seen a deep sea and a bottomless dark ditch.â
The Grand State Master put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice, âYou suspect that you saw the abyss trench under the Divine Sea?â
âI donât know. Iâve never been there,â Yu Huang said. âI plan to head to the Divine Sea to investigate tonight.â
The things that Yu Huangâs Eternal Eye had seen were definitely related to something important in the future. If they did not verify it clearly, Yu Huang and the Grand State Master would not feel at ease.
The Grand State Master said, âTonight is the day of the royal familyâs monthly gathering. Later, Iâll get the prince and His Highness to accompany you to the abyssal trench. Thatâs their battlefield. They must be familiar with it.â
âOkay.â
After dinner, the Grand State Master sent Lin An to the royal palace and informed Mo Yuelou and Beatrice to go to the Divination Tower after dinner.
The siblings, who were eating, received Lin Anâs notice and stopped eating. They wiped their mouths and got up to follow Lin An to the Divination Tower.
When they arrived at the Divination Tower, the Grand State Master gave Mo Yuelou a few simple instructions and let them leave.
The four of them sat in the same car while the distinguished prince became the driver.
Beatrice was in the front passenger seat while Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were in the back. Yu Huang had been stealing glances at Beatrice while they were driving.
Beatrice realized that Yu Huang was peeping. She turned around and asked Yu Huang, âWhy have you been peeping at me?â
Yu Huang felt a little awkward when she was caught peeping at the beauty.
Sheng Xiao saw that Yu Huang was embarrassed, but did not want to help her.
Yu Huang chuckled and said, âAfter the annual assessment ended last year, Feng Yuncheng mentioned Her Highness to me every day. Iâve been longing to see Her Highness for a long time. The wedding was too rushed, so I didnât have the time to take a good look at Her Highness.â
âHer Highness is indeed as he says. Youâre really a heroine.â
Yu Huangâs flattery made Beatrice smile.
âOh? Is that so?â Beatrice subconsciously crossed her long legs. She touched the safety pendant on her sword and asked casually, âWhat did that kid say about me?â
âHe praised you asâ¦â Yu Huang closed her eyes and said obsequiously, â He said that youâre passionate, outspoken, kind, brave, and good at vombat. Youâre a true war goddess. â
Yu Huang had heard Feng Si say that the princess hated it the most when people praised her for her beauty. She also hated it when people called her a princess. Thus, she only praised the princess for her bravery.
When Beatrice heard this, she was even happier. âThat kid has good taste.â
At this moment, Mo Yuelou suddenly told Beatrice, âShe is Professor Night Owl.â
Beatrice was stunned.
After knowing that Yu Huang was Professor Night Owl, who had secretly provided many weapon designs to the Divine Moon Empire, Beatrice looked at her with respect.
âI didnât know that you were Professor Night Owl. I apologize for my rudeness.â
Yu Huang waved her hand. âItâs okay.â
Sheng Xiao was confused when he heard their conversation.
He asked Yu Huang softly, âWhat Professor Night Owl?â
Yu Huang said, âNight Owl.â
Sheng Xiao said, âDo you have any other identity that I donât know about?â
Mo Yuelou was even more surprised than Sheng Xiao. âYoung Master Sheng, donât you know that Young Madam is a very impressive weapon designer?â
Sheng Xiao stopped talking.
Weapon designer?
Seeing that Sheng Xiao really did not know, Mo Yuelou and Beatrice did not speak. They would let the couple handle their affairs.
Yu Huang typed a message on her phone and sent it to Sheng Xiao. âMy adoptive father was a top h weapon designer in the world. He was also good at cold weapon designs. I learned it from him.â
Sheng Xiao felt stifled after reading the message.
Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, âIs there anything else I donât know? Tell me in one go.â
Yu Huang: âThereâs only one more thing.â
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows. Really?
Sheng Xiao: âWhat is it?â
Yu Huang tapped on the screen and sent a message before putting away her phone.
Sheng Xiaoâs phone vibrated in his palm. He unlocked it and saw an unread message on the message page.
Ah Huang: âI like you very much.â
