Chapter 4

Since they were so insistent, and he himself lacked an identity, Huang Yu secretly thought that he might as well impersonate someone for a while. With this thought, Huang Yu did not refuse.

Through his understanding, Huang Yu also knew that the Liu Lin Huang family was originally a prominent clan in Liu Lin Town. However, due to the patriarch's cultivation going awry and the family's small size, the Huang family had fallen from grace, leaving only one descendant. Coincidentally, this person was also named Huang Yu, which saved the trouble of changing his name.

As the sole descendant of the Huang family, Huang Yu was naturally doted upon. A few days ago, Huang Yu went out to play and had an accident, going missing. The patriarch of the Huang family also passed away because of this.

Although the Huang family had fallen, they were still a former prominent clan. A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Especially the jade business, which was envied by many. With the patriarch's death, the Huang family lacked a leader. The Su and Chen families, also prominent in Liu Lin, had long coveted the Huang family's jade business. They could no longer hold back and, under the joint pressure of the two families, the Huang family's jade business plummeted, now facing the risk of bankruptcy.

The four of them rode their horses at a gallop. After two hours, they finally arrived at Liu Lin Town.

Just as they reached the Huang family's gate, they saw a woman in a yellow dress walking quickly toward them. The woman was charming and captivating, making one's heart flutter.

"Yu'er, you're back." Huang Yu was about to use his detection technique to check the woman's information, but unexpectedly, she hugged him.

"You... who are you? Can you let me go first?" Being hugged by a beautiful woman was comfortable, and the faint fragrance and the soft, plump feeling were quite memorable, but Huang Yu knew this was not the time.

"Yu'er, you... don't you recognize me? I... I'm your aunt." The charming woman released Huang Yu, her voice trembling.

At this moment, Zheng Zhong explained, "Miss, the young master may have encountered something that caused him to lose his memory."

"Lost his memory? Oh, heavens, why do you treat my Huang family like this?" The charming woman fainted upon hearing this.

It turned out that the charming woman was named Zhao Wan'er, Huang Yu's aunt. Now, the entire Huang family was left with only Huang Yu and his aunt Zhao Wan'er. If she knew that her nephew was an impostor, who knows what would happen.

After a long while, Zhao Wan'er regained consciousness.

"Aunt, are you okay? Come, drink this medicine." Huang Yu held the medicine and offered it to Zhao Wan'er.

Seeing how considerate Huang Yu was, Zhao Wan'er was delighted. She took the porcelain bowl and drank it all, then put it aside. "Xiao Yu, you've grown up, I'm so happy. From now on, the future of our Huang family depends on you. I hope you won't let your grandfather down. Do you understand?"

"Aunt, you'll see. Although I've lost some of my memory, I will definitely make the Huang family great again, making it the largest clan in Liu Lin Town, or even in Zhongyuan Kingdom." Huang Yu looked at Zhao Wan'er and said firmly.

"Good, good, Yu'er, you have great ambition. I believe your grandfather would be happy to see this." Zhao Wan'er was overjoyed. Although Huang Yu had lost some of his memory, he was now even more likable.

...

After gaining a general understanding of the Huang family, Huang Yu prepared to visit the jade shop.

Liu Lin Town, as a large town known for jade, was naturally very prosperous, much wealthier than an ordinary county. Moreover, sometimes spirit stones would appear here. Spirit stones were the most precious things for cultivators. If a cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage obtained a spirit stone, even with poor aptitude, they had an 80% chance of reaching the Innate stage.

Therefore, once a spirit stone appeared, it was a big deal. The prosperity of Liu Lin Town was largely due to the appearance of spirit stones. However, in the past ten years, no spirit stones had appeared in Liu Lin Town, so fewer cultivators came here.

The jade shop, as the name suggests, was a place to buy and sell jade. Of course, there was also a thrilling aspect, which was gambling on jade.

Gambling on jade involved buying and selling unprocessed raw stones. This was extremely risky but also highly profitable. High-quality jade was extremely expensive, but raw stones were much cheaper. Therefore, gambling on jade was a good way for merchants and ordinary martial artists to make a big profit with a small investment.

The risk of gambling on jade was great. Some became rich overnight, while others lost everything. However, most people lost money. Despite this, countless people came to the jade shops to gamble, eager to try their luck. This was the charm of gambling on jade.

"Young master, this is our Huang family's jade shop." Lin Fu led Huang Yu to a jade shop with the sign "Huang's Jade Shop." The characters were written in a dragon-like style, exuding a powerful aura. The person who wrote this sign was clearly not an ordinary person.

In the distance, there were several other jade shops. The two largest were the Su and Chen families' shops, which were as famous as Huang's Jade Shop, making them the three largest jade shops on this street in Liu Lin Town.

This was a jade street, where all the jade transactions in Liu Lin Town took place. There were hundreds of jade shops of various sizes, and most were controlled by the Su, Chen, and Huang families. The Su family had the most, followed by the Chen family, and the Huang family had the least. As for the other smaller jade shops, they could be largely ignored.

Now, the Huang family was being suppressed by the Su and Chen families, and their business was cold and quiet, with few customers. In contrast, the Su and Chen families' shops were bustling with people, lively and prosperous.

"Mr. Huang, come out quickly to welcome the young master." Lin Fu shouted before they even entered.

"Young master, please come in." Hearing the voice, a man with a white beard, about sixty years old, came out. However, Huang Yu could not sense any martial artist aura from him. This old man seemed to be no ordinary person. A detection technique revealed that, like Zheng Zhong, the only information available was his name, Huang Dashi, with everything else being unknown.

This old man was a master, definitely a master. This was Huang Yu's first impression.

Huang Dashi seemed to have a grudge against Huang Yu. Although he came out to welcome him, his tone was very cold, clearly showing no affection for Huang Yu.

"Young master, find a place to sit." Huang Dashi said coldly, "If the young master is here to ask for money, then the young master should save your breath. The jade shop's business has plummeted, and there is no extra money to support the young master's expenses."

"You... Mr. Huang, how can you speak to the young master like this? The young master is now the head of the Huang family, and everything belongs to him. How can you speak like this?" Lin Fu, seeing Huang Dashi's attitude, was dissatisfied. No matter what, Huang Yu was the young master of the Huang family, the only remaining bloodline. The business of the Huang family should be handed over to him. Huang Dashi's tone was clearly inappropriate, so Lin Fu angrily rebuked him.
