Chapter 385: The Eve Before the Saint Tomb Opens
Lin Jiansheng took a deep breath. “How ruthless.”
“Yes, but I rejected it.”
Yu Huang’s rejection was beyond Lin Jiansheng’s expectations. “Why did you reject it?”
Yu Huang said, “No matter how evil Yin Fu’s character is, she’s still a woman. I won’t use such despicable methods to treat a girl, nor can I send my nominal uncle to be someone’s servant. That will affect the world’s evaluation of me.”
“But I promised her that when I took back the Yin Clan, I would kick Yin Fu, Yin Mingchong, and her parents out of the Yin Clan. Then, I would give her a sum of money to let her live a free life.”
After finding out about Yu Huang’s intentions, Lin Jiansheng praised, “Amazing!”
“Mentor, help me keep an eye on Zhou Buwen. We have to keep this person and let him expose my uncle’s true colors.”
“Don’t worry, Kong Qing will guard him tightly.”
“That’s good.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao returned to the villa in Lovers Lake today. When she picked up the phone just now, she avoided Sheng Xiao and went to the balcony outside the master bedroom.
After hanging up, Yu Huang was about to return to her room when a stream of water suddenly pounced on her from behind. Following that, her waist was hugged by a pair of slightly cold arms.
“Brother Xiao, what are you doing?” Yu Huang leaned into Sheng Xiao’s arms and realized that the person behind her wasn’t wearing a shirt. There were still water droplets on his freshly showered body.
She wanted to dodge, but Sheng Xiao pressed her into his arms.
Sheng Xiao bit Yu Huang’s ear. “You’re in a good mood. Tell me the good news.”
Yu Huang blinked and held the hands at her waist. She said, “I caught a little mouse that had been hiding for 21 years.”
Sheng Xiao smiled and said, “Then, we should celebrate.”
“How will we celebrate?”
Sheng Xiao carried her like a child and placed her on the balcony railing. He said, “Close your eyes.”
Yu Huang closed her eyes and was suddenly kissed on the forehead.
Yu Huang opened her eyes to look at Sheng Xiao, but Sheng Xiao suddenly pushed her out of the railing. “Ah!” Yu Huang exclaimed and fell from the balcony.
But below her was a man-made lake.
Sheng Xiao jumped down and hugged Yu Huang’s waist in midair. They fell into the lake together. Water splashed everywhere, but the two of them sank into the water.
Seeing this scene, the head butler immediately turned off the lights in the room and said to all the servants, “It’s getting late. Everyone, go back and rest.”
… It was getting late. It was already eight o’clock.
The servants put down what they were doing and quietly left the backyard. They passed through the horse farm and returned to the servants’ room in the back mountain.
The butler locked himself in his room and didn’t dare to come out. He opened a book and read a few pages. Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled. “The Young Master has grown up.”
In the past, he was worried that Young Master wasn’t interested in sex. It wasn’t that he wasn’t uninterested, but that he hadn’t met someone who could arouse his interest.
…
Three days later, the Beast Tamer Alliance’s election began on time.
Caro Zhengyang prepared a humorous speech that received enthusiastic applause.
When it was Sheng Lingfeng’s turn, he walked to the back of the speech table and flipped open his speech. After a moment of silence, he said, “I take the initiative to give up this election opportunity. Everyone, you can do your best.” He wouldn’t participate anymore. The position of the president would be given to whoever wanted to be the president! He wanted to return to the Sheng family to cultivate in seclusion. He wanted to get his wife back as soon as possible.
Seeing Sheng Lingfeng voluntarily withdraw from the election, the beast tamers were all shocked.
What was Prime Master Lingfeng doing?
Was he disheartened by the alliance?
Caro Zhengyang also felt embarrassed. He felt angered by Sheng Lingfeng. “Prime Master Lingfeng! Why did you decide to quit at the last minute?! Could it be that you are unhappy that I’m joining?”
Caro Zhengyang slandered Sheng Lingfeng yet again.
The other Beast Tamers also asked loudly, “Prime Master Lingfeng, why did you withdraw? Could it be that you have some difficulties? Or are you dissatisfied?”
Caro Zhengyang also said, “That’s right, Prime Master Lingfeng. If my joining makes you so dissatisfied, then I will withdraw!”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly advised Caro Zhengyang, “Prime Emperor Zhengyang, don’t be impulsive. Listen to Prime Master Lingfeng explain the reason first!”
Sheng Lingfeng watched Caro Zhengyang’s performance in amusement before saying, “In the past, I thought that men should be ambitious, but after I lost my love, I realized how precious it was. I gave up the election because I wanted to spend time with my family. The first half of my life was dedicated to pursuing my dreams, and the second half will be dedicated to accompanying my family. That’s all.”
With that, Sheng Lingfeng turned off the microphone and left gracefully.
Seeing that Sheng Lingfeng left without hesitation, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
He really gave up?
Caro Zhengyang had thought that there would be a fierce battle in this election, but unexpectedly, Sheng Lingfeng to take the initiative to give up this opportunity? Without Sheng Lingfeng’s participation, the strongest and oldest Caro Zhengyang naturally got the position of the President.
…
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao sat in the waiting room outside the venue. They saw Sheng Lingfeng through the live stream.
Seeing Sheng Lingfeng walk out of the venue, Sheng Xiao and his sister hurried to him. “Father.” Sheng Yang asked Sheng Lingfeng, “Why did you quit?”
Sheng Lingfeng pointed at the car outside the headquarters building and said, “Let’s talk in the car.”
After the four of them got into the car, Sheng Lingfeng said to the three children, “Caro Zhengyang must have some unspeakable secret. It’s a wise decision for me to quit the Alliance Meeting at this time. When he breaks the news, everyone will see through his true colors.”
Sheng Xiao chuckled. “Do you want to wait until everything is over before you come out to reap the benefits?”
Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. It’s true that I want to accompany you guys.” Sheng Lingfeng stared at his eldest son’s mature and handsome face and said, “I promised your mother…”
“From now on, I will give you double the love.” He had promised Lan Yao that he would protect the three children well. He couldn’t break his promise.
Sheng Xiao and his sister were touched. Sheng Yang hugged Sheng Lingfeng’s arm and laid on him while crying silently. Although Sheng Xiao didn’t cry, his eyes were red.
Yu Huang turned her head to look out the window. She suddenly missed Madam Lan.
“Father, Mother will come back.”
“I know.”
…
After Caro Zhengyang took office, he ordered the entire cultivation world to do their best to search for Su Xuanye’s whereabouts and swore to find out where that guy was hiding.
However, Su Xuanye seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Not only that, but the Blood Peacock Organization also seemed to have received an order and restrained their actions.
The cultivation world had become calm recently. However, everyone understood that the Blood Peacock Organization must be plotting something. The calmness was only the calm before the storm.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the opening of the Saint Tomb arrived.
The 30 core disciples of the Sheng family were prepared. Accompanied by Sheng Lingfeng, they took the aircraft to the Saint Tomb.
All the clans focused their attention on the Saint Tomb. They were curious as to whether anyone would be lucky enough to obtain their ancestor’s inheritance during this trip to the Saint Tomb.
