Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 97 - 96: He... is dead?
Chapter 97: Chapter 96: He... is dead?
The pink clothes, in the past, only a powerful face could pull them off.
There’s no way around it, wearing pink makes you look dark more easily.
Clothes can only ever complement, letting them outshine the person is just laughable.
But since it was crafted by Wei Yuan, Yuchi was quite looking forward to what the final effect would be.
And now that Wei Yuan had sorted things out, he needed to head over to the yamen to take a look.
He really was just a tool man.
Other people’s time-travel experiences are like Huo Shanlan’s, full of good luck.
Or filled with extraordinary, high-level enlightenment journeys, challenging cultivation with the drama of senior and junior disciples’ rivalries, and intricate struggles.
At the worst, they can still farm vegetables.
And what about him?
Making money, making money, and making more money, with an old monk entering the scene, it couldn’t be more mundane.
"Once I get rich, I’ll let those arrogant cultivators go plant corn for me!"
Yuchi grasped a boiled corn cob and climbed onto the carriage to head for the commerce association.
Of course.
He quite enjoyed his life at this time, though he had a few more things to think about, seeing his family happy was enough.
That’s very good.
The carriage started with a jolt.
Thinking about it, there are benefits.
Luckily, he didn’t start with the full buff of his parents dying, otherwise, he would have ended up in petty squabbles with others by now.
...
On the other side.
Jiangzhou City, a typical major city with over five million residents, sprawling and fertile.
Under Jiangzhou City, there are many towns like Xufu Town, and Jiangzhou City itself is a very developed city.
The Defense Department’s headquarters is also within Jiangzhou City.
Xun Xian lamented not encountering any clueless bandits on her way as she arrived in Jiangzhou City.
Yuchi usually relied on his big brother to buy him the "Jiangzhou City Imperial Gazette", an honorable product of Jiangzhou City.
The ingenious talents were truly impressive.
For example, the latest issue of "The Fate of the Riverside Commoners".
Yuchi got a chance to sneak a peek at night, and it was quite entertaining.
Xun Xian had already found her benefactor, but this benefactor was facing away from her, meditating.
Unable to see clearly due to a veil between them.
"Godfather, here you are pretending to be elegant with your back to me again," Xun Xian shouted with respect and teasing.
In plain language.
That’s "Godfather, here you are acting again."
Alright.
Yuchi was satisfied, realizing Xun Xiaoxian talked to everyone the same way.
"... Why did you come back?" The middle-aged man coughed a few times.
According to his plan, Xun Xian should be in Xufu Town protecting the president of the United Commerce Association.
Why return to Jiangzhou City suddenly?
Could it be she caused trouble?
"He...died?!" he guessed.
"Of course, he didn’t die! Am I that kind of person!" Xun Xian replied helplessly.
"That’s good." The man was slightly embarrassed, "Then why return?"
"It’s because Yuchi wanted to meet you, and asked me to send you a message," Xun Xian replied, speechless.
"To see me?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a while.
There were only two possible reasons the other party wanted to see him.
One possibility was they had found some dirt on him, but that was impossible.
After all, he was just a commerce association president, although he thought highly of him, not even Xun Xian knew about this.
The young man named Yuchi couldn’t possibly know.
The second possibility was to establish a connection.
This likelihood was high, and was a logical assumption to make.
But then an interesting thing arose.
"He actually managed to persuade you to speak for him?" The middle-aged man’s tone carried a hint of curiosity.
What kind of person was Xun Xian?
He had saved her as a child and watched her grow over the years, with a notoriously fiery temperament.
Typically the type to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
And often wouldn’t even consider things from others’ perspectives.
But now the other party could get Xun Xian to plead for them?
Impressive skills.
It seemed his earlier judgment wasn’t too far off?
"Hey, I lost a bet, so I came to ask for your opinion on his behalf," Xun Xian said helplessly.
In front of the middle-aged man, she was a bit reserved, primarily out of respect.
It was mostly about relaxation and trust.
"A bet?"
When Xun Xian told the man about the bet between her and Yuchi, a smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting."
He murmured to himself.
The other party had quite a few tricks, but it seemed they didn’t have any ill intent.
There was no rush to give an answer just yet.
He glanced towards the back, "So Xian’Er, do you think I should meet him?"
How does that concern me, Xun Xian thought helplessly, then said: "I think he’s a good person."
"Hahahahaha!"
Laughter filled the room.
The middle-aged man’s laughter was somewhat peculiar, yet sounded very hearty.
"To have you, Patrol Xun Xian, call someone a good person is something I’ve never heard before."
"You used to wish to eliminate every villain under the skies."
"So for Yuchi to exhibit such behavior truly exceeds my expectations!"
Xun Xian felt very happy upon hearing this, even if the middle-aged man’s recognition of Yuchi had nothing to do with her.
But it felt good, like being praised as one of the family.
"Godfather, had you gone to Xufu Town, and met Yuchi, you’d know him," she said.
"He’s not only a gentle young man but also very intelligent."
"He can steadily steer Xufu Town towards a better path, even when making money, he does it with integrity."
"His prestige in Xufu Town is now quite high, even the dogs of the Imperial Decree Department can’t compete with him."
Upon hearing his daughter say this, the middle-aged man’s smile grew larger.
But he added:
"Be careful of eavesdroppers."
"It’s fine to speak about the Imperial Decree Department behind closed doors, but don’t mention it outright."
"If someone from the Imperial Decree Department hears you, even if I am your godfather, it would be difficult to protect you."
He warned.
"Could my godfather possibly be afraid of the lackeys of the Imperial Decree Department?" Xun Xian protested.
"I’m not afraid, but I’m worried about you," the middle-aged man said kindly, "I’m afraid you’ll act impulsively and mess things up."
The reason he allowed Xun Xian to leave his side was mainly due to her indiscreet speech.
Jiangzhou City was not a small town, where random chatter might go unnoticed.
But in a city, speech wasn’t as simple, and the implications were too tangled.
So his initial plan was to let Xun Xian lay low for a while, hence the arrangement with the United Commerce Association in Xufu Town.
He had given face to the people of the Imperial Decree Department by sending Xun Xian to help there as a patrol.
Xun Xian’s trip to Xufu Town involved various considerations from the middle-aged man.
After a brief separation, Xun Xian, although not completely transformed, had softened a bit.
Otherwise, when she first entered, at least two doors wouldn’t have survived.
This young woman’s temper was quite fiery.
Xun Xian grinned, "Of course, Yuchi isn’t entirely good, his private life is rather messy."
"Oh, really?" The middle-aged man didn’t turn around, speaking without any surprise.
It’s understandable.
A man like that surely couldn’t be managed by just one or two women.
Understood. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
Come to think of it.
Xun Xian’s expression showed some embarrassment and anger.
