She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Novel - Chapter 418
Chapter 418: The Return Banquet, The Show Begins!
At this moment, Di Ruofeng had also returned to his human form. He walked down from the void and walked all the way to Yin Mingchong.
Yin Mingchong lowered his head, and Di Ruofeng was unable to see his appearance clearly.
Di Ruofeng deliberately said, “When I went into the lake to take a shower just now, I realized that someone was hiding at the bottom of the lake. When I got closer, I realized that there was a secret passage under the lake. This person was trying to escape through the secret passage.”
After saying that, Di Ruofeng turned around and said to Yu Huang, “Grand-disciple, go and report to your Second Patriarch that there is a suspicious person in the clan. Instead of leaving through the main entrance of the Yin Clan, he chose to escape through the secret passage. I suspect that this person’s motives aren’t pure. He should be interrogated severely!”
Yu Huang held back her laughter and extended a finger with a strange expression.
She pointed at Yin Mingchong’s head and said in a low voice, “Grand Master, the Second Patriarch is here.”
Di Ruofeng looked at the man on the ground with a shocked expression and asked, “Patriarch Yin? Why didn’t you leave through the main entrance? Why did you sneak out through the secret passage of the underground river? Could it be that you’ve done something shady and are preparing to escape?”
Yin Zhongheng and the others were all adults in their twenties or thirties. Although their intelligence was inferior to old foxes like Di Ruofeng, they were still very intelligent.
They stared at Yin Mingchong, who was covered in mud, and analyzed what Di Ruofeng said. Instantly, their expressions became complicated.
What had Yin Mingchong done to actually be so afraid that he didn’t dare to use the main entrance and insisted on using the secret passageway?
…
As Yin Mingchong was stared at by more than ten pairs of eyes, he raised his head stiffly before squeezing out an ugly smile towards the old dean while stammering as he explained. “I… I was checking the secret passageway.”
Di Ruofeng immediately sneered. “Is there a need to be so secretive when checking the secret passage? When I captured you just now, you summoned your beast form and wanted to kill me!”
Yin Mingchong was speechless.
Di Ruofeng suddenly opened his narrowed eyes, and his gaze was sharp. “Yin Mingchong, could it be that you’ve done too many shameful things and don’t dare to appear at the homecoming banquet tomorrow, so you took the opportunity to escape? What, could it be that you were really involved in the theft of my grand-disciple back then?”
“And this secret passageway…” Di Ruofeng glanced at the secret passageway at the bottom of the lake and said thoughtfully,” 21 years ago, the Yin Clan was heavily guarded. Even if that bandit could transform into a fly, he probably wouldn’t be able to easily enter the Yin Clan! But he actually broke into the Yin Clan and stole this child! I don’t believe that no one gave him advice and cooperated with him from the inside! ”
…
“Could it be that the bandit sneaked into the Yin Clan from this secret passage?”
Di Ruofeng deduced the truth about what happened back then in a few words.
Yin Mingchong was astounded when he heard this.
But could he admit it?
Of course not, not even if he was beaten to death!
As long as he didn’t admit it, as long as Zhou Buwen didn’t appear, then there was insufficient evidence!
Even if everyone suspected him, they couldn’t convict him!
After he understood this, Yin Mingchong went all out. “Dean, as the Dean of the Divine Realm Academy, how can you be so prejudiced? This is only your prejudice and wild guess. How can you slander me like this without any evidence?”
The old dean said, “You know very well whether it’s slander or not.”
The commotion at the back of the mountain still attracted the First Elder’s attention.
The First Elder quickly rushed over with a few elders. As soon as he saw Yin Mingchong covered in mud, he guessed what had happened here.
The First Elder’s eyes were filled with gloominess. He suddenly turned around and said to the few elders behind him, “The acting Patriarch, Yin Mingchong, secretly opened the secret passage of the underground river with ulterior motives. Lock him up first. Tomorrow, we have to ask him carefully in front of all the cultivators in the cultivation world. How harsh has the Yin Clan been on him that we actually made him suffer to the point of wanting to escape through the secret passage?!”
“Yes!”
The Second Elder and Third Elder pressed Yin Mingchong’s arms on both sides and dragged him back to the Yin Clan before locking him up in the Yin Clan’s interrogation hall.
In order to prevent Yin Mingchong from escaping, the two elders were directly responsible for guarding him.
When Yin Fu heard that her father was imprisoned, she was instantly terrified.
She ran to the Young Master’s Mansion to look for Yu Huang in order to prove her father’s innocence.
Yin Fu cried as she said to Yu Huang, “Young Master, my father and your father had a deep relationship. After Uncle Mingjue passed away, my father couldn’t sleep for half a year. Although I was young at that time, I still had memories.”
“My father respects and loves Uncle Mingjue the most. He treats you as his own and definitely won’t do such a heartless and ruthless thing! Young Master, please give my father a chance to prove his innocence!”
Yin Fu was indeed arrogant and unreasonable, but she, who had lost her mother since she was young, had an extremely good relationship with her father.
Yin Fu had been crying when she pleaded for mercy for her father.
Yu Huang stared at Yin Fu’s tear-stained face and suddenly said, “When your father escaped today, he stored his most precious collection and cultivation techniques into his interspatial ring.”
Yin Fu frowned slightly and said, “Just because of this, you’re sure that he did something bad and wanted to take the opportunity to escape?”
Yu Huang shook her head slightly. She looked at Yin Fu with pity in her eyes. She couldn’t bear to see her like this, but she had to tell her ruthlessly, “He took all the treasures away, but he didn’t take you away.”
The determination on Yin Fu’s face was completely shattered by Yu Huang’s short sentence!
Yin Fu’s eyes trembled slightly, and they were instantly filled with tears. She shook her head and muttered to herself, “Father isn’t escaping. He’s going to repair the secret passage. Father is only going to repair the secret passage.”
Yin Fu refused to admit that this was true.
She couldn’t believe that her father had taken all the treasures away when he escaped and left her alone in the Yin Clan.
“Yin Fu, Yin Mingchong was even able to abandon you at the critical moment. Such a person can naturally harm his niece for the sake of power and status.”
Yin Fu was speechless.
She came with hope, but she left with despair.
After Yin Fu left, Anna walked to Yu Huang’s side and said, “Your words were so ruthless.” Those words were enough to shatter a daughter’s reliance, admiration, and love for her father.
Yu Huang said calmly, “I’m only letting her see Yin Mingchong’s hypocritical true colors.”
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
When dawn broke, the truth would be revealed.
Yu Huang took out her phone and called Lin Jiansheng. “Mentor, bring Zhou Buwen here at dawn.”
“Okay!”
After the call, Lin Jiansheng shouted, “Kong Qing.”
A ball of black fog suddenly appeared behind him. Immediately after, the fog turned into Kong Qing’s appearance. Kong Qing’s hair had grown a lot and was tied into a single-horned braid at the back of his head.
Kong Qing raised his head and asked Lin Jiansheng, “Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Lin Jiansheng asked him, “Does Zhou Buwen still have diarrhea?”
“I gave him some medicine. He’s fine now.”
“Alright, give him a shower and pack up. Let’s go to the Yin Clan.”
“Okay!”
…
At dawn, the door outside the Eight Tower Mountains was opened with a rumbling sound.
The cultivators who had rushed over from all over the world came to the Eight Towers Mountain in groups. After handing over their Beast Tamer identity cards and revealing their identities, they successfully entered the Yin Clan.
Yu Huang’s homecoming banquet was very grand.
The ten elders worked together to create a spiritual power interface. The interface was like a ceiling floating above the Eight Towers Mountain. Only the top families could create the spiritual power interface alone.
The cultivators who came to participate in the homecoming banquet stepped on the spiritual power stairs and ascended the spiritual power interface. They sat cross-legged on the spiritual power interface and waited for the banquet to begin.
Yu Huang, on the other hand, was wearing the Yin family’s young master uniform. She was kneeling behind a short table. Sheng Xiao was kneeling behind the short table on her left.
Behind Yu Huang, there were ten short tables. Behind the short tables sat the ten elders of the Yin Clan.
As soon as these cultivators sat down, they realized that there was one person missing from the host’s seat.
“Where’s Patriarch Yin?”
Welcoming Yu Huang to the clan was secondary in this homecoming banquet, and the trial of Yin Mingchong was the most important.
Yin Mingchong had been good at pretending all his life, and he pretended to be kind and benevolent. Behind his back, countless people scolded him for being hypocritical.
Finally, this drama queen was about to be interrogated by the entire cultivation world. Who could bear to miss this historic scene?

However, when they arrived at the scene, they noticed that Yin Mingchong wasn’t present, and they couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Why hadn’t Yin Mingchong appeared?
At this moment, the Yin Clan’s head steward shouted,
“Prime Master Lingfeng has arrived!” Sheng Lingfeng brought Sheng Yang to the Yin Clan on behalf of the entire Sheng Clan. He was holding a gift box with a red ribbon.
The Yin Clan’s young master had returned safely. As Yin Mingjue’s best friend when he was alive, Sheng Lingfeng naturally couldn’t come empty-handed.
As soon as he arrived, the Grand State Master followed closely behind.
“The Grand State Master is here!”
“Prime Emperor Dino has arrived!”
“Prince Donor of the Elven royal family has arrived!”
“The dean of the Divine Realm Academy has arrived! Grand Master Gold Ingot of the Divine Realm Academy has arrived!”
…
“Saint Ling Xiao brought… Zhou Buwen!”
Zhou Buwen?
When they thought about how the young master of the Yin Clan was stolen by the bandits 21 years ago, how could they not understand?!
Good lord, Saint Ling Xiao had actually caught the culprit who stole Yu Huang back then!
Everyone turned around and looked at the stairs.
Lin Jiansheng, who was wearing a purple Purifying Spirit Master robe, held the Purifying Spirit Scepter in his left hand and held the hand of a young man with a single braid in his right.
The young man had a pair of psychic handcuffs on his hands. The handcuffs fell to the ground and extended to the bottom of the stairs, as if they were holding something.
The two of them walked forward for a while before the handcuffed man finally appeared from under the stairs.
It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who couldn’t hide his fatigue and haggardness. The middle-aged man was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. On the T-shirt, Kong Qing had written a few crooked words in red paint—
Zhou Buwen!
Today, there were more than three hundred cultivators attending the Yin Clan’s Young Master’s homecoming banquet. They were all famous figures.
Zhou Wen had lived for more than seventy years, but this was the first time he had attracted so much attention.
Lin Jiansheng took the handcuffs from Kong Qing’s hands and said to Yu Huang with a smile, “Your father and I were best friends. We were mentor and disciple. In order to celebrate your return, I specially prepared a big gift for you!”
Lin Jiansheng suddenly raised his arm and threw Zhou Buwen in front of Yu Huang.
Lin Jiansheng said loudly, “I have already captured the bandit who sneaked into the Yin Clan 21 years ago and stole you. Today, I will give him to you. Whether you kill him or torture him, you can do whatever you want with him!”
Zhou Buwen’s body fell to the center of the arena. When he looked up, he met a pair of sharp eyes.
Zhou Buwen looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. When he thought about how she was the cute little baby girl from 21 years ago, he regretted it.
He regretted not killing that little thing back then!
Unexpectedly, after wandering the world for half his life, he actually fell into the hands of this little girl.
All the cultivators were very curious as to how Yu Huang would deal with this culprit. Would she cut off his head?
Yu Huang looked at Zhou Buwen calmly. She suddenly smiled. “Zhou Buwen.”
Zhou Buwen sized up Yu Huang calmly. He had a feeling that this little girl wasn’t as meek as she looked.
Zhou Buwen snorted coldly and said, “I’m unlucky to have been captured by you. You can do whatever you want with me!”
“You quite have some backbone!” Yu Huang clapped her hands.
The applause wasn’t loud, but it spread throughout the entire banquet hall.
When Zhou Buwen saw the smile on Yu Huang’s lips, he actually felt his heart turn cold.
People who hid malice in their smiles were the most difficult to figure out.
“Yu Huang, I’ll give you a chance.” Yu Huang suddenly leaned forward a little, and her gaze became charming.

Yu Huang said to Zhou Buwen, “The Yin Clan is heavily guarded. It’s impossible for you to sneak into the Yin Clan alone. I know that there’s a traitor in the Yin Clan who’s working with you. As long as you expose that person and explain everything that happened back then…”
Yu Huang smiled gently and said, “I won’t hold you accountable for what happened in the past!”
