“Thank you for hosting us, Patriarch Yin. It’s getting late, so we shan’t hold you back any longer.” Lonemoon put down the contract and raised his wineglass to toast the host who was seated at the main seat.

“Ah! Huh?” Yin Feng had still been silent, thinking about the unequal contract, yet Lonemoon was already planning to leave.

“Let’s go.” Lonemoon pulled Shen Ying to her feet.

“Oh.” Having eaten her fill, Shen Ying dusted off her hands and got to her feet. “That, what’s-your-name… thank you. Goodbye!”

Yin Feng had no choice but to send his guests off. There was no use regretting. He could only put on a smile and walk his guests to the front door.

“Farewell to the two of you, Patriarchs!” Lonemoon cupped his fists and put on his best businessman smile.

“Take care, Fellow Daoists!”

The few of them were just about to walk to the transportation array. Yin Yuanfei, who had been hovering around Sister Si Yu the entire night, suddenly exclaimed, “Miss Si Yu!”

Everyone paused and turned around. Si Yu subconsciously frowned, asking, “Is there anything else?”

“This… this…” Yin Yuanfei blushed. He couldn’t bear to let Si Yu go, yet he couldn’t think of any reason to ask her to stay.

He was born into the Yin Family and was the son of the patriarch no less. He also possessed a rare lightning-elemental Spirit Root. Having true talent, his cultivation journey had been smooth and he had always been the best disciple. There was hardly anyone who was his match in his sect and even among the four aristocratic families. It was for the first time that he experienced being on the lower hand, and the one who put him in that position was a female cultivator who was at the age when she was ready for romance. Naturally, she had moved his heart. However, she looked frail and was not at all interested in him romantically.

“You… you be careful on the way home. First thing tomorrow morning… I’ll go to your small yard to look for you.”

“What do you want to come to our small yard for?” Si Yu stepped forward unhappily. She wasn’t that familiar with this man.

Yin Yuanfei hesitated and blushed even redder. He nervously scratched his head, then thought of a reasonable excuse. “Well… isn’t the Yin Family going to buy Invincible Sect’s spirit herbs? I’ll… I’ll go down tomorrow to deliver the deposit!”

Yin Feng: “…”

Xuan Yuanyu: “…”

Prodigal!

Wow, we still have this silly teammate. Lonemoon celebrated inside his heart. He hadn’t intended to charge a deposit, but now he rushed forward and said, “I’ll get ready to host Young Master Yin tomorrow then.”

He did not want to give the Yin Family a chance to go back on their word, so he turned around and rushed everyone away once he had finished speaking. Yin Yuanfei was left standing there, waiting for the group of people to disappear into the horizon. His expression was one of admiration.

Ever since the competition amongst the sects had ended, Lonemoon seemed to have found his new life goal. He made everyone else stay for a few more days in Yin Skycity. Each day, he went out early in the morning and came back late at night, but nobody knew what he was up to. It had been a long time since he threatened Shen Ying with her allowance.

Shen Ying was utterly bored.

“Sect… Sect Master.” Sister Si Yu suddenly walked into the room. Her eyes were troubled and she was hesitant. “I… I have something to ask you.”

“Alright!” Shen Ying was bored anyway. She patted the seat next to her and said, “Sit. Do you want some melon seeds?”

“Thank you, Sect Master.” Si Yu respectfully bowed to her and sat down excitedly.

“What’s the matter?”

“I…” She suddenly lifted her head to look at Yi Qing who was next to Shen Ying, and then she bowed her head in embarrassment again.

Shen Ying understood what she had to do. She cleared her throat, saying, “Er… Chef, can you go and prepare lunch?”

“Master, it’s not yet lunchtime.” Yi Qing stayed rooted at his spot, glaring at Si Yu. No way was he leaving.

“Then can you make some pastries?”

“I have already made pastries.”

“Then get me some tea.”
