Chapter 310 - 192: Sect Competition! Cultivator’s Encounter!
After meeting with the County Magistrate, the advisor, and others, Yuchi walked outside with the beautiful Han, naturally with his own ulterior motives. He wanted to learn more about the Great Tang Prison from Han’s words, though some things were hard to ask directly.
"Han is certainly quite loyal to the Great Tang Prison. Otherwise, she’d obviously want to strangle me or chop off my magic weapon directly, but she chose not to do so, either out of fear of the Great Tang Prison or because she’s personally connected with it."
Her father couldn’t possibly be the Prison Director at the Great Tang Prison, could he? Just like older sister Yinghan? If so, wouldn’t that be a bit exaggerated? Actually, that’s not the case. Over time, as they slowly got to know each other, Han Ming was actually not as strong as he appeared to be, facing many hardships. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been thrown out to find Yuchi this time.
Or does the Great Tang Prison really not know that Yuchi might have wanted Han Ming’s body? They definitely know, but why did they still let Han Ming come over? Wasn’t it just to deliver him to Yuchi? To make Yuchi and Han Ming entangled, which could ultimately be a good thing.
Would the Great Tang Prison mind having an extra puppet? Certainly not.
But now, Yuchi didn’t know that much. He was just following his thoughts, holding the beauty’s jade-like hand.
With her hand held by Yuchi, Han Ming could clearly feel her palm sweating, feeling quite embarrassed. Which girl would want to show her clammy side when holding hands with a young man? Especially when her entire palm is sweaty, it’s not pleasant.
But often girls’ hands are just naturally moist.
There was nothing she could do, Han Ming had to sneak a glance at the boy ahead and made sure he wasn’t looking her way. Only then did she suddenly look up at the sky and suddenly shout, "President Yuchi, look over there."
Oh, a UFO... Yuchi, speechless, pretends not to know, looks up at the sky, and also releases the grip on Han’s hand. Feeling the slight relief from her, he asks, "What’s the matter?"
Han Beautiful frowned doubtfully towards the clear sky of Xufu Town and said, "I must have been mistaken. I thought some cultivator was falling from the sky."
Yuchi: "Oh."
Han Beautiful: "..."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Have I been seen through? Han Beautiful immediately switched topics and tentatively said:
"Then can I leave now? I have to go back to the Great Tang Prison. I have a lot to do. We have plenty of time in the future. I’m certainly willing to build a relationship with President Yuchi, but I have urgent matters at present, and I’m really powerless."
"No rush."
Yuchi looked at the inn not far from the office, "Have a meal before you leave, I won’t hold you back."
Have a meal, really just having a meal? Then what is the meal?
Won’t it be me?
Ah! Gosh!
Han felt a bit flustered, but after lowering her brows and thinking for a while, she still agreed.
"Alright then!"
It’s just a meal with Yuchi; what could he do to bully her under daylight?
Couldn’t possibly have the guts.
...
In the private room at the inn, a simple yet exquisite meal was served.
Yuchi sat there alone, quietly drinking tea, observing that the other party didn’t seem inclined to pick up the chopsticks.
He then asked with a smile:
"Han, when will there be news from the Great Tang Prison? Should I prepare anything?"
Staring at the food in front, Han dared not eat, fearing Yuchi might have drugged it. She didn’t want to have a flirtatious moment with him, knowing he likely had many tricks, and who could handle that the first time?
Xiangxiang raised her head proudly: I can!
And Han Ming promptly shook her head, "I don’t know about that, but rest assured, we certainly have no malintent towards Xufu Town, and no sinister plans for the merchants."
She spoke earnestly, no one dared to stand against the people, the outcome of autocracy has been proven disastrous repeatedly.
As for going against merchants... that’s unnecessary.
After listening, Yuchi silently took a sip of tea.
His initial intention was to truly learn a lot about the Great Tang Prison from Han’s words, but when he wanted to ask, he hesitated.
Not because of anything else, just purely out of fear.
Yes.
This kind of thing has already surpassed Yuchi’s current ability to handle. For ordinary matters, he could easily learn about them; Yuchi could manage such secrets, but for this kind of issue, the more questions he asks, with Han’s simple-minded nature, once she returns to the Great Tang Prison, she would probably reveal everything.
By then, leaving those old foxes at the Great Tang Prison with the impression that "I, Yuchi, am very cunning," would be troublesome.
When dealing with him, they would be more cautious, so without absolute certainty, it’s better not to learn too much from Han, not even attempt to ask.
