“Any progress on the investigation?” Yu Lang asked.

“Reporting to the Family Head, we have clarified the matter. The Zhang Family was most likely killed by the heavenly-ranked expert they worshipped,” a chief steward reported, bowing his head.

“Oh? A heavenly-ranked expert? Who?”

“Judging from the wounds, it should be the ‘Cloud Folding Hand.’”

“Cloud Folding Hand?” Yu Lang let out a slight smile, “Is it that famed signature technique of ‘Moon Fairy’ Xiang Bing?”

“It should be unmistakable!”

“Alright, I understand. Issue an assassination order then, as a matter of respect for the Zhang Family,” Yu Lang said dismissively.

“Understood!”

“Tomorrow is Ran’er’s eighteenth birthday celebration, how are the preparations going?” Yu Lang was clearly more concerned about this question.

“Everything has been properly prepared!”

“Hmm! Remember to increase security, recently Lingnan… has been quite unsettled!”

“Yes!”

After the servants withdrew, Yu Lang looked out the window, a hint of a cold smile emerging on his lips.

Tomorrow marks the seventh day.

Will you come?

You probably will.

But do you think, after killing my son, you can still live so easily?

Yang’er, your father will surely avenge you.

As Yu Lang pondered, his fingers moved slightly, and the insects flying in the room fell silently to the ground.

However, after falling, they were still alive, just unable to fly anymore.

Their wings were intact, but at that very instant, Yu Lang had used Formless Sword Qi to shatter the veins in their wings.

Such exquisite control, reaching the pinnacle, was the most difficult to achieve.

The news of the Zhang Family’s annihilation had been a hot topic among the common people of Lingnan for less than a day before it was replaced by another topic.

That was the upcoming eighteenth birthday celebration of the Yu Family’s young miss.

The Yu Family’s status among the common people of Lingnan was unimaginably high.

Some even worshipped the Yu Family as if they were Immortals.

Therefore, Yu Ran’s adult ceremony naturally attracted countless gazes.

All the great and small noble families of Lingnan, even men who considered themselves rather exceptional, were all making earnest preparations.

Who wouldn’t want to win over Yu Ran’s heart at her birthday celebration and become the Yu Family’s son-in-law, ascending to the heavens in a single step?

The day finally arrived.

The entrance of the Yu Family’s residence was crowded early on with people coming to offer congratulations.

The young men, dressed in their finest, all craned their necks, eagerly hoping to see the beauty as soon as possible.

At last.

Yu Ran came out.

Many people were seeing Yu Ran for the first time.

Although rumors said she was as beautiful as flowers under the moonlight, many thought this was flattery toward the Yu Family.

But once they truly saw Yu Ran.

All such notions completely fell apart.

No one expected that the young Miss Yu was indeed blessed with heavenly grace.

Even though she lacked the charm of a mature woman, due to her young age,

This kind of fresh beauty was even more enchanting to these young men.

For a moment, those familiar scions of noble families had already gathered around her with smiles.

Those less familiar hovered outside, wondering if they might strike up a conversation.

Some even displayed considerable indifference, attempting to attract Yu Ran’s attention by standing apart from the crowd.

But Yu Ran, who was surrounded by admirers like the moon by stars, though she smiled in response, her words were full of courtesy, and her eyes were drifting around.

It seemed… as if she was looking for someone.

The many young men in the distance were shaken, then excitedly perked up. Could she be looking for me?

Thus, they all puffed out their chests, hoping Yu Ran’s gaze would linger on them longer.

But Yu Ran just glanced around and seemed somewhat disappointed as she lowered her gaze.

At this, a scion from a family close to the Yu Family said with a laugh, “Miss Yu Ran, are you looking for something?”

Yu Ran simply couldn’t be bothered with these people.

Although they had only spent two days together,

Yu Ran felt as if she had… fallen deeply into something.

Unlike these boys with their childishness and shallowness, Xue An was always cold, never pandering to her.

Yet the more he was like this, the more he attracted Yu Ran like a magnet.

Yu Ran also knew that Xue An was much older than herself and that he even had two daughters.

But she was hopelessly smitten.

After falling for “uncle” Xue An, Yu Ran found these outstanding young men to be terribly juvenile.

Why hasn’t he arrived yet?

Didn’t I tell him to come early today?

Yu Ran seethed with frustration inside.

Just as she was thinking about this, she saw Xue An slowly walking over with his two daughters and Hei King among others.

The moment Yu Ran saw Xue An, she hurriedly greeted him with delight.

“Why have you only just arrived?” Yu Ran said, somewhat displeased.

The many onlooking youths felt their hearts sink.

Because Yu Ran’s behavior was just too much like coquettishness.

As a result, many looked at Xue An with envious eyes.

Xue An simply smiled, “Got held up by some matters, happy birthday!”

“Yeah! Let’s go inside!” Yu Ran felt this was the best birthday wish she had heard all day.

Xue An was carrying a long, wrapped package and followed Yu Ran inside.

After they went in,

the group of youths, with dissatisfaction written all over their faces, huddled together.

“Who is that guy?”

“Don’t know! Definitely not someone from Lingnan!”

“Damn it, looks like Miss Yu regards him highly!”

“Yeah, and did you see that man came with two kids, could he even be a single father?”

“What’s up with Miss Yu’s taste? I don’t accept this!”

The young men howled in dismay.

However, among them, someone remained silent, his eyes fierce, as if plotting something.

“Hey, Young Master Yang, why aren’t you saying anything?” someone asked at this moment.

This Young Master Yang was Yang Xudong, a member of the Lingnan Yang Family. Although the Yang Family wasn’t a top-tier noble family, it was enormously wealthy, ranking among the top three in Lingnan, so he had also come today.

Moreover, he had known Yu Ran for a while and had been vigorously pursuing her.

Hearing the question, Yang Xudong sneered, “The man isn’t from Lingnan, and by his clothes, he doesn’t look like he’s from a noble family. What’s there to fear?”

Having said that, Yang Xudong turned and walked inside.

The rest glanced at each other, sighed, and followed him in.

At this moment, the Yu Family’s place was decorated with lights and colors, and the banquet had been set up in the Yu Family’s garden.

Yu Ran kept chattering non-stop.

Xue An merely nodded occasionally, hardly saying a word.

On the other hand, Xue Xiang and her sister kept looking around, clearly interested in the Yu Family’s ancient and aromatic house.

“May I ask where you are from, friend?” Yang Xudong suddenly approached with an unfriendly tone and asked Xue An.

Yu Ran’s face turned cold, “Yang Xudong, what are you doing?”

“Ran’er, it’s nothing. I just find this friend somewhat unfamiliar, just wanted to ask!” Yang Xudong’s face was icy as he spoke to Xue An.

Xue An smiled faintly, “Me? I’m not from Lingnan.”

Yang Xudong’s expression grew even more unpleasant, “Not from Lingnan? Then these two young ladies…”

“My daughters!”

Yang Xudong looked towards Yu Ran as if to say look, he even has children!

But Yu Ran simply waved her hand impatiently, “Alright, the banquet is about to begin. No need for you to go asking all kinds of questions!”

Yang Xudong was left speechless, glaring hatefully at Xue An before turning aside.

“Brother Dong, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make him regret it later!” Yang Xudong said through gritted teeth.
