At the same time, he also wanted to deepen the bond between him, Lady Yan, and the hostess; otherwise, he feared his strength might instill fear in the two women, and gradually they would love him less, with only awe remaining.

Now, it's quite good.

...

In the following days, Li Yuan became busy, hosting another grand full moon banquet.

For convenience, the full moon banquet for the two children was held together.

With Tie Sha taking the lead, all sides came to offer congratulations.

Li Yuan received many gifts, mostly small items of gold and silver or decorative rare treasures. After discussing with the two wives, he decided to invest all the gifts into the "industry chain" of Hengwu Restaurant.

Meanwhile, the porridge shop originally set up outside Silver Creek Square also opened two more locations outside Wutong Square.

...

Several days later, under the dark sky and strong wind, a carriage stopped in the wilderness.

Inside the carriage, Yu Chaoyin was sitting quietly when suddenly he heard some movement outside.

"Reporting to Sect Leader Yu, we've found out..."

"Speak," Yu Chaoyin said calmly.

"The demon beast from the Demon Breeding Pavilion seems to have disappeared."

"Got it, you may leave now."

"Yes."

The sound gradually faded away into the distance.

Yu Chaoyin narrowed his eyes slightly. A few days ago, he hadn't intended to attend Li Yuan's children's full moon banquet. But upon hearing that Tie Sha went, he felt inexplicably strange.

Because Tie Sha would never attend the full moon banquet of a subordinate elder, especially such a young Eighth Grade Elder.

So he went as well, and intentionally wandered around, then he faintly heard the barking of dogs—a sound quite unusual, resembling that of a powerful demon beast.

Afterward, he ordered the informants in the Inner City to investigate, and the findings were revealed.

"Tie Sha has given him the Demon Dog, but how can an Eighth Grade control a Seventh Grade Black Marquis? Unless... he himself is a Seventh Grade, and an outstanding one proficient in beast taming among them.

So, he is now a true Demon Master, is that why Tie Sha values him so much?"

Yu Chaoyin pondered.

Suddenly, he thought of another matter. Although Tie Sha kept it hidden, many Inner Sect Disciples had seen it, so Yu Chaoyin naturally knew as well.

"That day, when the Sun-Wei Alliance attacked the Inner City, they all died afterward, with most bearing knife marks, the work of the Ancestor.

But some... had bite marks, which seemed to be made by a large demon beast.

Additionally, the door of the Demon Breeding Pavilion appeared to be smashed open..."

Yu Chaoyin's pupils suddenly shrank as he thought of a terrifying and unbelievable conclusion.

If... Li Yuan is the Blood Saber Ancestor.

Then, this conclusion can explain everything.

...

After the disciple who provided information to Yu Chaoyin returned to the Inner City, he didn't go back directly but instead headed straight to the Blood Fury Hall, knelt before the white-robed man, and said, "Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader Yu finally tasked me to investigate the matter concerning the Demon Breeding Pavilion, and I also passed the information on to him as you instructed."

Tie Sha nodded and said, "Well done, remember to keep it confidential afterward."

"Yes..."

"You may leave now..."

...

The next day.

Tie Sha summoned Yu Chaoyin directly.

The Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Sect sat in the hall, while outside the window, autumn leaves flew incessantly.

Yu Chaoyin coldly said, "Sect Leader, is there something you want to tell me?"

Tie Sha laughed and said, "Usually, when I summon you, you don't come. You're either having diarrhea or sick."

Yu Chaoyin frowned and said, "Vulgar! When have I ever used diarrhea as an excuse?"

Tie Sha chuckled, then suddenly said, "Investigating Li Yuan?"

Yu Chaoyin sneered and said, "You've planted some fine spies, turning the Demon Master into a reality without anyone noticing, huh?"

Tie Sha said, "Old Yu, stop testing me, don't think I don't know about your tricks?"

He paused, then said, "After some time, I plan to leave for the Central Plains, and this Blood Saber Sect of Shanbao County will have to be left to you."

Yu Chaoyin was stunned, suddenly sprang to his feet, and exclaimed excitedly, "Are you... planning to give the position of Sect Leader to me?"

Tie Sha laughed and said, "I'll make you Deputy Sect Leader."

Seeing Yu Chaoyin's somewhat frustrated look, Tie Sha burst into laughter, so hearty that he was almost out of breath, and said, "You actually believed me? If I give you the position, can't you dispense with the 'Deputy' during your time in power? Besides, would I do something so foolish?"

He stood up, walked to Yu Chaoyin's side, and patted his shoulder.

Yu Chaoyin disdainfully brushed off his shoulder.

Tie Sha smiled nonchalantly and said, "Got some free time now?"

Yu Chaoyin said, "Can't you speak without jumping around like that?"

Tie Sha said, "If you have time, I'll take you to meet the Ancestor."

Yu Chaoyin's eyes widened, and he jumped up.

Tie Sha added, "Prepare yourself mentally."

...

In the afternoon...

A carriage stopped at Baihua Manor.

Tie Sha and Yu Chaoyin, both wearing hooded robes, entered the place with their appearances concealed.

At this moment, Yu Chaoyin was overwhelmed with excitement. The instant Tie Sha led him inside, he already knew who the Blood Saber Ancestor was.

Shocked!

Aside from shock, there was nothing but shock!

Soon, the two reached a secluded small courtyard inside the hall.

A gentle breeze blew, and the grass and trees turned yellow.

A young man was sitting in the pavilion, seemingly lost in thought. Upon hearing the noise, he glanced at the two who came in, pointed to the opposite spot, and said, "Sit."

Tie Sha plopped down casually.

But Yu Chaoyin didn't dare to sit, and he directly knelt on the ground, making a grand gesture and said, "Little Yu didn't recognize the true appearance of the Ancestor. I even stopped the Ancestor from entering the sect before, so I'm here to apologize sincerely."

Li Yuan looked toward Tie Sha.

Tie Sha chuckled foolishly, "Ancestor, I'm planning to leave Shanbao County soon, and the next Sect Leader will be him, so I brought him to see you.
