Chapter 317 - 193: 2nd Raid on Jiangzhou City! Two-Person Dungeon Run! (Requesting Votes)_2
Thinking of this, Yuchi felt a strong sense of speechlessness.
How can there be such a ridiculous setting in this cultivation world? If I hadn’t happened to meet two cultivators today, I probably wouldn’t have known this information anytime soon. All this time, I thought Ascension Gate was a legitimate entity, but it turns out, in others’ eyes, it’s considered off the beaten path.
"Of course, besides formalizing Ascension Gate, I also need to covertly understand the details of the competition. Where is it held, and how do I register?"
"You can just ask about the specific process. I imagine many sect disciples would know about it. I’ll visit Jiangzhou City another day, and then simply treat any sect disciple to a meal and inquire about the general situation."
The first point is a bit troublesome, but the second point is quite simple.
"Let’s arrange it this way!"
"After I’ve dealt with things these couple of days, I’ll find an opportunity to stroll to Jiangzhou City and strive to resolve this matter in a short time. It’ll count as my disciple’s first proper trial. Although I may not be a very competent master, I’ve got wealth on my side, so... it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?"
Yuchi also set a few requirements for his second visit to Jiangzhou City.
First, figure out how to formalize the sect, ensuring it’s done safely.
Second, find out when the sect competition is and what the specific arrangements are.
Third, make final preparations for Immortal Robe Pavilion’s grand entrance next year, arranging various identities one by one.
Fourth, generally understand what Great Tang Prison is about and try to learn what’s happening around Xufu Town.
These four tasks are each more important than the last, and truly, taking a trip to Jiangzhou City won’t even give me the chance to enjoy myself leisurely.
"Hey, tough task, cousin."
...
Leaving Xufu Town, Han Beautiful stood under a big tree, noticing the weather was quite good, as it was time for her to leave Xufu Town.
Although her visit to Xufu Town was brief, and didn’t last too long, many things happened!
Firstly, she finally persuaded Yuchi to agree to the construction requirements of Great Tang Prison outside Xufu Town. The main task was accomplished, which was very good, otherwise she would’ve returned downtrodden and really embarrassed!
Secondly... it’s rather uncomfortable.
She really should say she was exploited by Yuchi, but tolerated it. For the sake of Great Tang Prison, and the Defense Department, she took the loss and let Yuchi enjoy himself a bit, which was acceptable. After all... there would definitely be a first time for such things in the future, so if she really had to give in, giving Yuchi the advantage was bearable.
Yes, this was what Han Beautiful thought at the time. When she was accompanying Yuchi for a meal, she already envisioned what might happen next, considering she might need to retire to bed with him, yet... Yuchi didn’t even eat a bite, and after chatting briefly, he simply left.
At first, Han Beautiful thought Yuchi did this deliberately, playing hard to get on purpose, distancing himself while making her feel a bit strange, a routine she was completely familiar with.
This is something even introduced in the Defense Department’s books.
"At first, a man pursues tirelessly, constantly saying sweet things, but stops abruptly in the middle, which makes the woman suddenly feel puzzled. Then, they transform from passive to active slowly. Although this approach has prerequisites, it’s a behavior that repeatedly proves effective."
"But Yuchi!"
"He actually just left like that. Before I even left, he didn’t appear again, completely vanished from Xufu Town. No one knows where he went. This isn’t playing hard to get; he’s genuinely gone!"
Earlier, he was praising all my prettiness and attractiveness, wanting to share a sweet bond with me, yet halfway through the meal, he disappeared?
What’s wrong? Struck by lightning?
Or was he snagged by another woman?!
Han Beautiful couldn’t understand this as she stood high above in her bright Golden Armor under the big tree, her high nose, handsome and lovely face, looking towards the distance, her high ponytail revealing a hint of solitude.
She pursed her lips; whatever, I don’t like him anyway. He can do whatever he wants. I’m leaving!
With a flick of her finger in the air, a silver spear appeared at her fingertips, its heavy tail pressing against her fingertip, the upright spear shining proudly in the sunlight. She loosened her grip, and with a reverse hold, the silver spear was thrown fiercely into the sky.
With a fierce whistle accompanying her movements, Han Beautiful lightly leaped, standing straight on the long spear, riding it away from Xufu Town at great speed.
Yuchi gasped in astonishment: Tao... Tao Baibai?
In ancient times Tao Baibai threw a tree to fly to the heavens, today Han Beautiful throws a spear to travel, history indeed is strikingly similar.
...
At night, the Wei Family had just finished dinner under the moonlight.
Yuchi was holding little Ximo, wandering around in the courtyard, playing hopscotch with little Ximo.
After beating little Ximo several times, he felt delighted. Little Ximo cried but wanted to play more, truly being bad at it yet loving it.
