1557 Like Mentor, Like Disciple
Upon hearing this, Si Cheng looked at Yu Huang with a strange gaze. “Little girl, you’re young, but your thoughts are especially meticulous.” Si Cheng asked curiously, “Other than Old Madam Jing, who else is your suspect?”
“There are many suspects.” Yu Huang smiled mysteriously as she said in a low voice, “Old Madam Jing, Jing Ruge, Zhang Zhanyi, Jing Jiaren, and even Second Uncle are all my suspects.”
Upon hearing this, Si Cheng’s mouth dropped open as he asked in disbelief, “Why am I included?”
“Because you’re my mother’s friend.” Yu Huang stared straight at Si Cheng and said, “Second Uncle, the person who could hurt my mother could only be someone who was familiar with my mother and could gain her trust. What do you think?”
Si Cheng was speechless.
Rubbing his nose, Si Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, “From what you’re saying, it’s my honor to be suspected by you.”
Yu Huang chuckled but remained silent.
Mo Xiao also smiled slightly. He teased Si Cheng, “Prime Emperor Si Cheng, your niece isn’t easy to fool.”
Si Cheng said, “It’s a good thing that she’s not easy to fool.”

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. This day, the capital became unprecedentedly lively.
One aeroplane after another landed on the tarmac of the capital’s aeroplane. Wave after wave of big shots arrived at different star-class hotels. The number of luxury cars on the street suddenly increased, and the various shopping malls became lively.
Noticing the various changes in the capital, Yu Huang also gained a deeper understanding of the Jing family’s status in the Divination Continent.
Old Madam Jing’s birthday banquet was officially held at 8 PM and the guests participating in the birthday banquet had an entire day to prepare for the birthday banquet at night. After lunch, Yu Huang sat cross-legged in her room and meditated for two hours. Then, she heard the butler report that the stylists had arrived.
Yu Huang asked the butler to invite the stylists into the suite and serve them well in the living room outside. Then, she entered the bathroom and took a shower. When Yu Huang finished showering and walked out of the bedroom in comfortable silk pajamas, the stylists had already finished their tea and were preparing the tools they needed later.
The gauze couldn’t cover Yu Huang’s stomach, but even after she was pregnant, Yu Huang’s figure was still very good. Other than the bulging stomach, her limbs were still slender. After the stylists took a quick look, they lowered their heads and bowed to her respectfully. “Madam Yu Huang.”
“Don’t be nervous. Just do your job.”
Yu Huang walked to the fashion model standing in the northeast corner of the living room barefooted. The dummy model’s figure was about the same as Yu Huang’s and it was wearing the Saintess Descends gown that Yu Huang had clearly specified that she wanted to wear.
Seeing that Yu Huang was sizing up the gown, the stylists softened their movements, for fear that Yu Huang would be dissatisfied with the details of the gown. However, very quickly, a smile appeared on Yu Huang’s face. Then, she turned around and said to the chief designer, “I like the design of this belt very much. Thank you.”
The gown was originally paired with a wide golden belt. When it was worn by Jing Rujiu, it made Jing Rujiu’s sexy waist look even more charming. However, Yu Huang was pregnant, so her waist size was much larger than Jing Rujiu’s. The wide belt would definitely make Yu Huang feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the chief designer changed it into a narrow golden belt.
The belt was elastic and adjustable. This not only didn’t ruin the design, but it also made Yu Huang feel comfortable.
Seeing that Yu Huang didn’t blame him, the chief designer heaved a sigh of relief.
As he smiled and looked at Yu Huang’s abdomen, the chief designer said softly, “No matter how beautiful a dress was, it was just an accessory on Jiaren’s body. Madam Yu Huang is beautiful, and no matter what you wear, you’ll be peerless. This belt is loose, but it won’t affect the design of the gown, so I took the liberty to change the design of the belt at the last minute. It’s my honor that you’re satisfied.”
Nodding her head, Yu Huang asked again, “Is this the original?”
“Yes.” The chief designer told Yu Huang, “Because this gown was selected as the light of the century in the last century, our old mentor asked Madam Jing Rujiu for this gown and displayed it in the clothing museum. You specified that you wanted to wear this gown, so we temporarily borrowed it.”
It took a lot of effort to borrow the clothes from the museum, so Yu Huang smiled and said, “I’ll get my Godfather to advertise more for your studio later.”
“In that case, thank you, Madam Yu Huang.”
With Yu Huang’s expression of gratitude, the stylists became even more serious. Just as Yu Huang’s styling was finished, she heard Professor Song’s voice in the distance.
Professor Song asked, “Why are you here too?”
Then, Yu Huang heard Prime Emperor Si Cheng say, “I’ve always had a good relationship with Jing Ruge. The Jing family also sent me an invitation for Old Madam Jing’s birthday this time. Thinking about how Grand Mentor has been living in the capital recently, I rushed over two days in advance to pay my respects to Grand Mentor.”
Professor Song snorted and said, “Do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Aren’t you just unwilling to spend money to stay in a hotel? Why did Taixu accept a disciple like you? It’s no wonder that he can’t get a wife at his age.”
“Like mentor, like disciple.”
Thus, Yu Huang heard Si Cheng reply, “Yes, Grand Mentor didn’t get married yet, so as disciples and grand-disciples, how could we dare to get married first?”
Professor Song was so angry that he raised the trash bag on his shoulder and was about to hit Si Cheng.
Si Cheng turned around and ran.
Mo Xiao squatted on the maple tree as he looked at Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and Prime Emperor Si Cheng. After he transformed into human form and landed in the courtyard, he said to Professor Song, who was cursing at Si Cheng, “Mentor, it’s getting late, so you should take a shower and change your clothes. Then, bring us to the Jing family to celebrate Old Madam Jing’s birthday.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Song stopped and shouted at Si Cheng, who had long disappeared, “Si Cheng, don’t appear in front of me again if you have the guts!”
Si Cheng’s voice came from the direction of his room. “Grand Mentor, I was wrong!”
“Heh.” Yu Huang couldn’t help but laugh.
The stylists felt uncomfortable suppressing their laughter, but they didn’t dare to laugh out loud.
After tapping the white pearl between Yu Huang’s eyebrows, the stylist said to her, “It’s done, Madam Yu Huang.”
“Okay.”
After a female stylist helped Yu Huang change into the Saintess Descends gown, the styling team left first. As Yu Huang sat alone in the room, she pondered for a moment. In the end, she took out the golden hairpin from her interspatial ring and inserted it into her high bun.
She used a golden hairpin to replace the crown and wore the Saintess Descends gown while waiting for the birthday banquet to begin.

The Jing family’s residence was located on the Divine Worship Mountain in the north of the capital. The entire family’s residence was built at the foot of the mountain along a wide river. Only the Patriarch’s residence was built on the highest mountain peak of the Divine Worship Mountain.
Standing on the highest mountain peak, one could overlook the entire Jing family’s residence and see the capital.
