“Okay.”

They worked overtime with Sheng Lingfeng for a few nights. Their bodies couldn’t take it anymore. They took this opportunity to go home and accompany their families. It was a rare chance for them to sleep comfortably.

Sheng Lingfeng’s lounge was also on the top floor, at the end of the corridor.

He arrived at the top floor and walked through the wide corridor. When he passed by Mo Xiao’s room, he stopped for a moment.

He moved his ears and didn’t hear anything in Mo Xiao’s room. Then, he quickly walked towards his lounge.

In the room, a few children were watching a movie. It was a suspense movie.

A heart-wrenching scene was playing. The children were engrossed in it when Sheng Lingfeng suddenly pushed the door open and entered. Sheng Xiao, who was afraid of ghosts, trembled.

“Daddy!” Sheng Yang ran towards Sheng Lingfeng and hugged him tightly.

Sheng Lingfeng patted Sheng Yang’s back and lectured her with a serious expression. “After you’re done, you should return to the academy to study. Why are you here?”

Sheng Xiao walked over with Yu Huang.

“Father.”

“Dad.”

Sheng Lingfeng smiled at Yu Huang kindly. Then, he lectured Sheng Xiao with a straight face. “You should stay in the Holy Spirit Academy instead of messing around with Yang Yang and the others.” He glanced at Sheng Wuque and reprimanded him again. “And you, Wuque. Wuyang and Ah Zhou have both entered the Holy Spirit Academy. You should hurry up and cultivate. You can’t slack off.”

“Mentor, you’re biased. You can’t blame me for embarrassing you just because I didn’t get into the Holy Spirit Academy.” Sheng Wuque smiled and hurriedly took out a small box, then handed it to Sheng Lingfeng. “Happy birthday, Mentor. After today, you’ll be an 187-year-old man.”

Sheng Lingfeng glared at him. “Old man?”

Sheng Wuque said with a cheeky smile, “The most handsome old man!”

Among the personal disciples, Sheng Wuque was the most carefree.

The other disciples were orphans raised by Sheng Lingfeng. While they respected Sheng Lingfeng, they were also very afraid of him.

Only Sheng Wuque was different.

Sheng Wuque came from a rich family. His dream was to develop the art of embroidery. Who would have thought that he would accidentally awaken his beast form when he was in his teens? His talent wasn’t bad, so his parents sent him to Yufu City.

Sheng Wuque was someone who had a way out. Even if his cultivation level wasn’t high, he had a family business to inherit. Therefore, he was the most lively and carefree person among his fellow disciples.

As for the other children, they wanted to become stronger and not let their mentor down. Therefore, they didn’t dare to slack off in their cultivation.

Sheng Lingfeng knew that Wuque was a happy-go-lucky child, so he wasn’t angry.

He opened the box and wasn’t surprised to see a brand new handkerchief.

He had received the same gift for twenty consecutive years.

He was really his ‘considerate’ disciple.

Sheng Lingfeng took out the handkerchief on the spot, folded it, and placed it in his suit pocket. The light blue handkerchief complemented the sapphire brooch on his chest, making him look noble and extraordinary.

Then, Sheng Lingfeng’s gaze landed on Sheng Yang. “Where’s the gift?”

Sheng Yang stuck out her tongue and gave a brooch to Sheng Lingfeng. Sheng Yang had always had good taste and had inherited her mother’s aesthetics. The brooch she chose for Sheng Lingfeng was an iron-gray pigeon that was suitable for daily wear.

Sheng Lingfeng nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at his son and daughter-in-law.

Yu Huang hurriedly handed over the ambergris ink with both hands. “Daddy, I heard from Yang Yang that you like to collect calligraphy and ink. This ambergris ink was obtained from the prince. He said that this ink can last for a thousand years. It’s the best ink. I wish you good fortune and longevity.”

Sheng Lingfeng took the small box containing the ink and leaned closer to smell it. When he smelled the faint scent of plum blossoms, a pleasurable look appeared in his eyes.

“Good ink.” Sheng Lingfeng looked at Yu Huang with satisfaction and relief. He said, “I’ve been coveting this ink for many years. Thanks to you, my wish was fulfilled today.”

“As long as Dad likes it.”

Sheng Lingfeng looked at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao placed his hand on Yu Huang’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Ah Huang and I are husband and wife. Our assets are one, so…” So, there was no gift.

Sheng Lingfeng was so amused that he laughed. He scolded Sheng Xiao jokingly, “Stingy.” He said to Yu Huang, “If this kid is so stingy to you, teach him a lesson. My heart won’t ache.”

“Okay.”

The children specifically came back to celebrate his birthday. Sheng Lingfeng was delighted.

Over the past few days, in order to investigate the deaths of the two Prime Masters, Sheng Lingfeng had been so busy that he hadn’t had a good sleep or a good meal.

During the meal, when he heard the children’s laughter, he felt relaxed.

After the meal, Sheng Lingfeng sent Sheng Yang back to the Divine Realm Academy while Sheng Wuque returned to Yufu City.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang weren’t planning to leave, Sheng Lingfeng asked them, “Are you two going back tonight or tomorrow?”

Yu Huang had something to talk to Mo Xiao about. She said, “Tomorrow morning.”

Sheng Lingfeng was thinking about the Soul Restoring Fruit that Sheng Yang and the others had obtained from the Golden Auction. He couldn’t wait to see the divine effect of the Soul Restoring Fruit. He touched the head of the little snake on his wrist and said to Sheng Xiao, “You guys go and play. Your mother and I have something going on. We’ll get going first.”

Sheng Xiao bent down and said to the little snake, “Mom, have fun.”

Sheng Xiao watched as Sheng Lingfeng left the restaurant with Lan Yao. Then, he looked down at Yu Huang’s face and asked, “Are you going to see the Grand State Master now?”

“Yes, let’s go.”
