Chapter 1004: Chapter 305: The Four Demon Overlords Finally Gather! Official Departure for Medicine Master Valley!

Pfft, this phrase could be said by anyone, but you can’t just say something like this directly! Yuchi felt the eyes around him gradually closing in, and with a smile, he explained, "Actually, Miss Qin Lanyu and I are relatives, distant relatives, and I’ve come to the State Capital this time just to visit family."

The malicious gazes of the crowd instantly diminished, a group of people exchanging looks, followed by a man incredulously asking, "Friend, don’t lie to me. I’m not well-read."

"Haha, how could I possibly deceive you?"

"Miss Qin Lanyu is a rather famous woman in the State Capital, whether it’s her talent or her beauty, many men spend their lives pursuing such a treasure."

"As for me, I’m not good-looking, have no outstanding qualities, and definitely don’t possess any riches. Truly, if I have one advantage, it might be some unique skills."

Yuchi said this, blushing, touching the back of his head with a silly grin.

The crowd: "..."

Then they heard Yuchi say, "So my relationship with her is familial, we’re close relatives. Naturally, when family visits, she has to say a couple of words to me. Otherwise, how do you think a rookie like me can just go straight to Miss Qin Lanyu?"

Moved deeply, a man stepped forward and heavily patted Yuchi’s shoulder, "You’re my brother now!"

Another man handed his lunch box to Yuchi, "Eat, I added chicken leg for you!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Then a group of men happily surrounded Yuchi in the center - it’s a heaven-sent opportunity! If Yuchi is Qin Lanyu’s distant relative, then maintaining a good relationship with him might actually lead to a chance to meet Qin Lanyu!

Yuchi wiped sweat off his forehead, feeling that he was just casually spouting nonsense, as he had no idea when Qin Lanyu would emerge, merely saying a couple of random sentences to protect his own life.

Now, with dead fish eyes, he awkwardly watched the bustling scene around, thinking perhaps he should go back to explain the situation to Qin Lanyu, at least weave a lie to prevent these men from holding grudges against him. Otherwise, after just arriving in the State Capital, he would start making enemies?

If it’s truly for a beauty, fighting is understandable; the key is that he and Qin Lanyu are utterly innocent. He’s here just following the words of his little sister Miaoyu to pick someone up. There’s really no such intent at all. And already being resented by so many, it simply feels unjust.

Then Qin Lanyu appeared, wearing a bamboo hat, calmly saying to Yuchi, "Brother-in-law, let’s go."

Yuchi: "???"

The crowd: "!!!"

Brother-in-law! Damn! This man is really something! Brother-in-law? Is this Qin Miaoyu’s husband? Goodness, they said they were distant relatives, later claimed they were closer relatives, but now it turns out to be Qin Miaoyu’s husband! This is truly unexpected!

Can’t tell, really can’t tell, nobody thought Miaoyu would be claimed so quickly?

Although Qin Miaoyu hasn’t seen what he looks like, with Qin Lanyu being so beautiful, surely Qin Miaoyu herself must not be lacking. Then this man’s tactics are truly impressive, previously acting like he didn’t know Qin Lanyu, all part of the strategy.

Just afraid we’d envy him!

The crowd now looked at Yuchi as if their gaze could set the world on fire, filled with various shades of jealousy and resentment.

"Charming dog must die."

"Everyone’s happiness ends, whoever finishes theirs first leaves."

"Shameless scoundrel, not even sparing young ladies."

"Scum."

"Degenerate."

"Disgusting."

Yuchi: "Boohoohoo."

I did not!

Qin Lanyu calmly spoke to the others:

"Lanyu Medicine Workshop is temporarily closed, reopening date undetermined. I’m going to stay with my sister; uncertain when I’ll be back, please leave."

What? Leaving?

Faced with these thunderbolt-like words, the rest were instantly unwilling; are you leaving the State Capital? Or is Qin Miaoyu still residing in the State Capital? Don’t leave; once you’re gone, when will we get to see you again? You’re the pillar of our lives.

Yuchi left the shop without uttering a word.

He walked out with his head down, hands tightly clutching his sleeve cuffs, thinking, "Damn it, Qin Lanyu tricked me, she’s truly astounding!" And Miaoyu completely conned me, saying her sister is all pure and beautiful, when actually plotting against an old hand like me, tricking me, genuinely lacking morals!

"Wait till I go back and punish her."

"Make her wear a maid outfit and clean the entire Ascension Gate—argh!"

After Qin Lanyu left the Lanyu Medicine Workshop, Yuchi dragged her hand as he ran, and before the others knew what was happening, they vanished into the alley.

The crowd tried to chase after them, but upon reaching the alley, found it empty there.

Bastard!

Ran away?

...

At Ascension Gate, Yuchi released Qin Lanyu’s hand, let out a breath of relief, for if he hadn’t been smart earlier, he would have been skinned by the crowd. He’s truly grieved, deeply grieved, this grief stemming from intense anger of single men, an anger capable of burning away all the world’s romances.
