Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the Tang family nodded in agreement, thinking that his senior brother shouldn't be bad either! With this thought, they looked at Uncle Yue and said, "Uncle Mr. Yue, we entrust our old man to you for these few days!"

"Rest assured! This old Yue will certainly do my best!" After hearing the Tang family's words, a hint of excitement arose in Uncle Yue’s heart as well. He also hoped to climb onto the big tree that was the Tang family, so upon hearing what they said, Uncle Yue readily agreed.

"Junior brother, you can leave now! I won’t be leaving today; later on, I’ll give Hongbin a call and we will take turns keeping watch!" After Uncle Yue finished speaking, he turned around to tell Xiao Yu.

Originally, Uncle Yue wanted to leave as well, but now that he had climbed onto the Tang family's tree, there was no way he could leave; therefore, he decided to take shifts with his son to look after Grandpa Tang since they all knew this was due to Xiao Yu’s relationship. Otherwise, among so many doctors at Beijing Hospital, as long as one were careful enough, it would be just as possible to treat Grandpa Tang well.

"Alright then! I’ll be heading back first; I’m returning to the deep sea tomorrow!" Upon hearing Uncle Yue's words, Xiao Yu nodded and said.

Seeing how resolute Xiao Yu was in leaving, the members of the Tang family successively thanked him. After hearing their thanks, Xiao Yu merely smiled slightly before turning around and heading out.

"Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu......" Just as Xiao Yu had taken a few steps forward, he ran into a group of people coming from the opposite direction; this group included both young and old. When the elderly leader saw Xiao Yu, he was stunned for a moment before calling out to him. However, it seemed as though Xiao Yu hadn’t heard anything, as he walked straight towards the elevator.

This group sighed or felt angry looking at Xiao Yu as he walked away in the distance but had no recourse. Especially so for this elderly leader who was filled with regret and remorse.

This group of people were precisely Xiao Yu’s adoptive father Wang Pingyuan's family; they heard that Grandpa Tang was sick, so they came to visit here as well, not expecting to run into Xiao Yu.

Wang Pingyuan thought about the guilt towards Zhao Lingyun; however, the rest of the Wang family were thinking about young Master Wang who was lying in bed wailing from his pain. For Young Master Wang’s sake, their whole clan had searched for every famous doctor throughout all of Beijing but to no effect—instead, he suffered even more.

The hatred that the Wang family had towards Xiao Yu grew greater as such; however, they had nothing they could do against him. Although Zhao Lingyun was adopted by them in the past, his power was several times stronger than that of the Wang Family’s. If it were not for Zhao Lingyun's support, their clan would have already declined.

Back then, when Wang Pingyuan stood on the wrong side between conservatives and reformers and was about to be exiled, it was due to Zhao Lingyun’s efforts that he had a chance at breathing again. This was also why they dared not make any moves against Xiao Yu even though they knew he inflicted such damage upon young Master Wang.

The appearance of the Wang family did not stir any waves in Xiao Yu's heart. In his mind, their family's grudges with the Wang family had been settled, and there were no further entanglements between them. If they met, it would be as if they were strangers.

People from the Tang family also clearly saw this scene, but what was their identity They naturally wouldn't pry into these matters; besides Old Zhuo Laogen (Old Mr. Zhuo), even the Zhong family didn't know what was going on.

The next morning, after bidding farewell to his mother, Xiao Yu left alone and boarded a plane heading for Deep Sea City. In the capital city, apart from his second elder brother, Zuo Simiao, Zhang Dahan and others had recovered well. Moreover, their internal strength was more refined, reducing many hidden dangers in their bodies. This could be considered as a blessing in disguise!

Originally, Xiao Yu's grandfather's bodyguards wanted to follow him to Deep Sea City. Yesterday during the car ride, Old Wang already expressed this wish to Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu didn't agree.

Hearing that Xiao Yu wouldn't let them follow, Old Wang naturally couldn't be at ease. Unable to do otherwise, in order to make the old man feel at ease, Xiao Yu had him drive out to the outskirts where they engaged in a battle.

With his cultivation level of late Transformation Qi stage, Old Wang was unable to cause any harm to Xiao Yu; all his attacks were dodged by Xiao Yu. However, Xiao Yu never retaliated, although it seemed as if Xiao Yu had no means to defend himself, but Old Wang had already exerted his utmost effort without touching a single strand of Xiao Yu's hair, demonstrating Xiao Yu’s strength.

Seeing this outcome, the old man bitterly smiled and gave up on the idea of following Xiao Yu to Deep Sea City. When he was somewhat tired, Xiao Yu still remained calm and composed.

No matter how Old Wang thought about it, he never imagined that Xiao Yu would possess such strength; in his estimation, even if Xiao Yu could fight, he wouldn't exceed the late Bright Qi stage level of cultivation, yet unexpectedly, a person at the late Transformation Qi stage couldn’t do anything to Xiao Yu. This made him feel somewhat disappointed but also very relieved, ensuring that Xiao Yu’s safety had at least been guaranteed.

From then on, Old Wang no longer mentioned following Xiao Yu, while Xiao Yu told them that they only needed to ensure the safety of their family members because they were just a new household in the capital city.

After Xiao Yu got off the plane in Deep Sea City and hailed a taxi heading towards downtown, he didn't go directly to Wan Sheng Hall but instead returned home first.

When Xiao Yu arrived back home, he didn't see Dai Ruxin, so he went down to the basement.

The thick malevolent energy in the basement gathered and did not disperse; if an ordinary person were here, they would likely die from this thick malevolent energy in no time.

When Xiao Yu reached the basement, a little white mouse suddenly leaped out of his arms and scampered into the large coffin without coming out. At that moment, Dai Ruxin was sitting cross-legged at the center of the tomb chamber with her eyes closed in meditation.

Xiao Yu did not sense any fluctuations of yin energy from her, indicating that the effects had yet to take place. However, Xiao Yu was not in a hurry since it wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

At this moment, thick black smoke suddenly rose up from the large coffin.

"Grand Celestial Master! You're back!" The black smoke quickly took shape into two dark figures. They bowed deeply to Xiao Yu and said.

"I'm back. Is everything okay at home" Upon seeing the two ghosts, Xiao Yu nodded and asked.

"Reporting to Grand Celestial Master, nothing is wrong. Everything is normal!"

"Good. By the way, when are those little guys going to come out of seclusion" After nodding upon hearing their report, Xiao Yu inquired further.

These nine little ghosts were extremely important to Dai Ruxin. From Zhong Kui's memories, he found all sorts of information about these nine little ghosts and discovered that they complemented Dai Ruxin perfectly.

The nine ghosts could rely on the pure yin energy from Dai Ruxin's body to rapidly advance in cultivation, while Dai Ruxin could depend on the nine ghosts to break through her own solidified pure yin energy for better utilization.

Furthermore, these nine ghosts would follow Dai Ruxin around. Working together, they wouldn't be any weaker than a genuine Nine Sons Ghost Mother; in fact, they might even be stronger, as Dai Ruxin was human and had greater potential to grow stronger. As her own strength increased, the power of the nine ghosts would also rise.

As for how far both sides could progress together, Xiao Yu couldn't predict it either, but he knew for sure that they would surpass a real Nine Sons Ghost Mother.

"They'll be out in about a month!" Hearing Xiao Yu's question, the Earth ghost answered. After all, as Zhong Kui's follower for a long time and being a ghost himself, he naturally understood these matters. Thus, after Xiao Yu asked about the nine little ghosts, they knew what he meant and replied after some thought.

The smallest of the young ghosts hadn't matured when it was born; therefore, it currently resided in the Umbrella Gathering Yin to recuperate until it reached maturity before training alongside Dai Ruxin.

This was also why Xiao Yu wasn't worried at all about Dai Ruxin's lack of progress despite her long period of cultivation. He wanted Dai Ruxin to familiarize herself with the operation of these techniques first, but he feared that she might slack off once she realized she had support behind her, so he hadn't told her and simply urged her to continue training diligently.

"Master, you're back!" When Xiao Yu heard what Earth Ghost and Water Ghost said, he just nodded before Dai Ruxin's delighted voice sounded.

"Mm-hmm, I'm back. How are you" Xiao Yu nodded and asked Dai Ruxin.

"Master, I'm really useless! After practicing for so long, there still hasn't been any effect!" Hearing what Xiao Yu said, the originally excited expression of Dai Ruxin dimmed as she said this.

"Haha, it's fine. It doesn't matter. Persistence beats resistance; take your time and don't be in a rush!" Seeing Dai Ruxin's appearance, Xiao Yu chuckled and comforted her.

Xiao Yu had a short chat with Dai Ruxin and the others inside the crypt before leaving to go shopping for them.

He came to a supermarket and bought a large quantity of supplies. This would be enough food for Dai Ruxin for some time, as she could not come out or get too close to living people, so he had no choice but to handle these matters himself.

Xiao Yu didn't go anywhere else that day; after buying things for Dai Ruxin and bringing them back, he went inside the crypt and began teaching her the Nine Yin Scripture. Though Xiao Yu had never studied this cultivation technique before, with Zhong Kui's memories, his understanding of these techniques was formidable, so there would be no problem in teaching Dai Ruxin.

The next morning after breakfast, Xiao Yu came to Wan Sheng Hall.

When Xiao Yu arrived here, the Old Man Dai, Xiao Hongyang, Er Xi, Yuan Chao, and Zhang Jing & Li Hui had already started working.

"Doctor Xiao, you're back!"

"Master, you've come..."

"Doctor Xiao... "

The moment Xiao Yu walked into Wan Sheng Hall, everyone in the hall greeted him. And Xiao Yu responded to each of them individually; their holiday was short and they had resumed work on the 8th.beautiful, and the villa community is close to the scenic Fragrant Hills.
