Ten days later.

It was time to visit Grandpa in the Netherworld again.

Arriving at the majestic gates of the Netherworld, Chen Hao saw Niu Tou about to throw him onto the city wall and immediately used Qinggong to dodge backward ten meters, colliding directly with a Yin Soul who had just recently departed the mortal world on its way to report to the Netherworld.

"Sorry, sorry!" Chen Hao quickly apologized to the Yin Soul.

After a surprised look at Chen Hao, the Yin Soul lowered its head and continued towards the great gates of the Netherworld.

Before Chen Hao noticed, Niu Tou had already appeared behind him, grabbing him and tossing him onto the city wall dozens of meters high.

"Don't you start acting up, kid!" Niu Tou said, catching Chen Hao on top of the wall.

"I just wanted to use my Qinggong to jump up here," Chen Hao explained, his face a picture of disappointment.

Niu Tou hummed displeasedly and, after setting Chen Hao down, asked, "Since you're out of the loop on some things, there's no need for me to keep pretending to be ignorant. How has the Nether King been lately?"

"Very well!" Chen Hao's mouth curled into a smile, "She's been doing well under my attentive care."

A glint sparkled in Niu Tou's dull cow eyes as he sighed, "Does that mean, you and her are...?"

Niu Tou trailed off without finishing.

"Haha! Guess!" Chen Hao said proudly, thinking about how they had teamed up with Yuqiao to fool him thoroughly before. Now he wanted to frustrate them with his mysterious airs.

"Actually, it's not what you imagine it to be, it's just that." Chen Hao stopped mid-sentence.

"What is it?" Niu Tou asked eagerly.

"Haha, guess!" Chen Hao laughed heartily and strode away casually.

Watching Chen Hao's retreating figure, Niu Tou snorted angrily through his nostrils, murmuring, "This kid has the Nether King's Heart, and now if he truly wins over the Nether King's affection, wouldn't that mean that after the overthrow of the Ghost King, he's likely to become the rightful ruler of the Netherworld! Could it be that the Fourth Generation Underworld King planned this long ago?"

Three minutes later, Chen Hao met his grandfather Chen Che.

As soon as they saw each other, Chen Che couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Haozi, did you apologize to Yuqiao?"

"Mhm!" Chen Hao nodded, then told Chen Che about making up with Ye Yuqiao and dealing with Wang Chuan.

After listening, Chen Che first sighed with regret and then showed a happy expression, such a stark contrast that Chen Hao was somewhat confused.

Therefore, Chen Hao asked, "Grandpa, are you happy or not?"

"Sad and regretful about Wang Chuan's misguided path! After all, it was Grandpa who promoted him to his former position, never expecting him to activate the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation for his own selfish desires," Chen Che said sadly.

Pausing for a moment, Chen Che raised his hand to pat Chen Hao's shoulder, his face showing a smile filled with pride and satisfaction, "Fortunately, I have a good grandson like you who has resolved the chaos caused by Wang Chuan, so Grandpa is very pleased. Moreover, you and Yuqiao have made up, not letting down that girl's kindness."

"By the way," Chen Hao's eyes wandered, "Yuqiao wanted me to apologize to you on her behalf!"

Chen Che was startled and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, she has done nothing wrong, no need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I owe her thanks for making my rascal grandson turn out so excellent! Ah! It's really unexpected, a woman of the Nether King's stature actually having a connection with my grandson. It's incredible!"

Chen Hao scratched his head and chuckled bitterly, mumbling, "I find it unbelievable too; it's like I'm in a dream. She just appeared in my world out of nowhere, and then all these inexplicable things started happening around me!"

"Experiences lead to growth!" Chen Che smiled faintly, his face exuding kindness. "So, what are your plans for the future? Now that you've stopped your formal education, do you plan to work at the Yin Yang Master Association for the rest of your life?"

"Grandpa, we're preparing to set off, to travel the world, to eliminate all the demons that threaten the mortal world, including the other seven Dharma Kings. And most importantly, I plan to take down the national Yin Yang Masters' disciplinary council and create a new era for us Onmyoji!"

"A new era?" A look of longing filled Chen Che's eyes.

Night had fallen when Chen Hao returned from the Netherworld to the mortal world.

By then, Ye Yuqiao had already fallen asleep.

After his Yin Soul returned to his body, Chen Hao quietly got up, propped his cheek with one hand, and silently admired the sleeping Ye Yuqiao beside him, reminiscing about everything that had happened over the past few months. The thought of Ye Yuqiao, who looked as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, having made an eternal vow with him, filled Chen Hao's heart with an incredible rush of elation and warm happiness.

"Boyfriend, you're back?" Ye Yuqiao suddenly opened her eyes slightly and asked, her voice lazy and coquettish, "Did you convey my apologies to Grandpa?"

"Yeah!" Chen Hao nodded, then his expression darkened. "But Grandpa is very angry, it doesn't seem like he plans to forgive you!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's eyes widened, and a clear and bright light shot out from her pupils. She raised her hand and pinched Chen Hao's cheek hard, huffing, "Naughty, Grandpa definitely didn't say that. Grandpa won't be as petty as you!"

..

..

Five days later.

Early in the morning, at the break of dawn, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao moved out with a suitcase.

From today, they were to officially set out with Xie Xiaofeng.

A minute later, the two of them went downstairs, waiting for Xie Xiaofeng to pick them up in his car. Xie Xiaofeng had passed his driving test a year ago, so this time they would have to rely on him to drive.

It wasn't long before Xie Xiaofeng arrived in his newly bought second-hand black minivan. However, there was another person in the car besides him—Tang Jing!

"Why did you bring Tang Jing too?" Chen Hao exclaimed.

"Idiot, we're teammates. Do you really think you could leave me behind?" Tang Jing, sitting in the passenger seat, stuck her head out of the window and said unhappily.

Chen Hao discreetly observed Ye Yuqiao next to him and noticed her complexion had turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Just let her come with us!" Xie Xiaofeng said while helping Chen Hao load the suitcase into the trunk. "The more people we have, the more strength we'll have. Don't forget, Tang Jing has even more Mana inside her than you do!"

Just then, a line of cars slowly arrived and stopped by the roadside. Following that, Ren Deshan, Liu Yongping, and dozens of members from the Yin Yang Master Association got out of the cars, including Xie Xiaofeng's grandfather, Xie Da.

Chen Hao, looking surprised, said, "Why have you all come?"

"Chairman Chen!" Ren Deshan approached Chen Hao and smiled, "We've come to see you off! Even though you have resigned as our chairman, after discussion, we all unanimously agreed to appoint you as the honorary chairman of our Y City Yin Yang Master Association!"

"Take care!" Ren Deshan's tone suddenly turned to one of sorrow, then he patted Chen Hao on the shoulder. "Thank you for everything you've done leading us during this time!"

Chen Hao's lips twitched, his heart full of emotion.

"Haozi, be careful on the way!" Xie Da then approached Chen Hao and spoke earnestly.

Chen Hao looked at Xie Da, his eyes brimming with tears, and then he opened his arms and embraced Xie Da.

"Chairman Chen, take care!"

"Chairman Chen, we'll meet again!"

..

Ten minutes later, Chen Hao and his three companions got into the car.

"Goodbye, everyone!" Chen Hao waved to the crowd, unable to hide his reluctance to leave.

The minivan slowly moved away, taking Chen Hao away from his home, away from Y City.
