Chapter 318 - 193: 2nd Run in Jiangzhou City! Two-Person Dungeon Run! (Requesting Votes)_3
When it was time to send little Ximo to the maid so she could take her for a bath, it was time to rest.
It was already around nine o’clock in the evening.
"Playing from seven to nine, this little girl is really a handful." Yuchi returned to his courtyard and made tea for himself.
However, little Ximo was really quite adorable and very attached to him.
"Drinking tea so late at night, are you planning on not resting tonight?"
Yuchi followed the sound and looked towards the wall, wasn’t it just the young lady Xun Xian?
Yuchi smiled without saying a word.
He just took a cup from the table and poured himself a half cup of hot tea.
The quality of the small cup was decent, and it felt alright between his fingers. He recalled when he first arrived in this era, he couldn’t get used to these teacups and preferred to blow directly on the teapot. As he drank more over time, he became less anxious about it.
In his leisure time, he could even brew a pot of tea for himself, sipping leisurely for a bit of atmosphere.
He looked jokingly at Xun Xian, who had just climbed over the wall: "Why, haven’t you gone to rest yet?"
"Ate too much at dinner."
Xun Xian downed the tea in one gulp from her cup and then looked expectantly at Yuchi.
Yuchi smiled and poured her another cup.
After drinking three cups, she finally felt something.
Xun Xian looked even more curiously at Yuchi: "Is Han Ming really your childhood friend?"
The excuse of eating too much wasn’t true; in fact, she was too concerned about matters relating to Han and those on Han’s side. When Song Yinghan appeared before, although she was surprised and a bit shocked, she didn’t really feel it was related to her and continued eating and drinking as usual.
But Han Ming’s background was different; he was from their Defense Department, and particularly mysterious above that was the Great Tang Prison. The Great Tang Prison was like an island in the eyes of all the Defense Department people, mysterious and filled with a sense of pilgrimage, so Xun Xian couldn’t hold it in.
She feigned using eating as an excuse to find Yuchi to chat, but in reality, her mind was still occupied with things regarding the Great Tang Prison.
Xun Xian wasn’t someone who could keep secrets; her thoughts were written on her face. Yuchi smiled and didn’t blink upon facing Xun Xian’s recent question: "Yes, she and I indeed grew up together. It’s a memory from my Uncle Bei’s time, when we were young."
Yuchi was just making it up, but Xun Xian wouldn’t care about that at all. Anyway, she was just casually asking. She nodded repeatedly and then attempted to ask: "So do you two have a good relationship?"
"It’s alright." Yuchi had a look of ’if you have something to say, just say it, stop beating around the bush.’ This is not like the fierce Xun Xian he knew.
Xun Xian embarrassedly touched her nose, directly snatched the teapot from Yuchi’s hands, and pretended to pour tea for Yuchi while sheepishly asking amidst his exasperated expression:
"Then, dear President Yuchi, could you perhaps casually mention me next time you see Master Han? I really want to visit the Great Tang Prison..."
"I’m not saying I want to train or study in the Great Tang Prison, just to purely have a look at what the Great Tang Prison is like would be enough!"
"What do you think, is that possible?"
Xun Xian’s attitude in asking for a favor was indeed quite good. It was the first time Yuchi had seen Xun Xian so focused on something. Before, in matters regarding Xun Yu, she had always appeared casual and composed, but with the matter of the Great Tang Prison, she couldn’t quite hold it together.
Hence, Yuchi straightforwardly said:
"There’s no need to go through all this trouble; the Great Tang Prison will be establishing a base around Xufu Town in the future, and by then, as a Patrol, you’ll surely be able to..."
"Hey..."
"Hey... Miss Xun... what’s happened to you? Why are you blanking out?"
While Yuchi was speaking, he suddenly noticed that the whole person of Xun Xian had crashed, holding a small teapot, her eyes instantly losing their light, and when sensing her heart’s rhythm, it had gone flat.
After a few breaths, her heart started beating again.
"What did you say!!!" A soul-stirring inquiry came forth.
"I said the Great Tang Prison will establish a base around Xufu Town."
Feeling the daunting gaze of this ’Valkyrie Barbie’ before him, he smiled and lightly added:
"Han Ming came here to see me this time for this exact matter. However, it hasn’t been publicly announced yet; it’s still in a more confidential discussion phase. But I’ve already agreed to the Great Tang Prison’s demand for establishing a base outside of Xufu Town. According to Han Ming, the Great Tang Prison will expedite the implementation of this plan."
"By then, near Xufu Town, a section of the Great Tang Prison will spring up as I just mentioned. You won’t need my help; you can try to visit the Great Tang Prison on your own effort."
For Yuchi, this wasn’t really a secret; it was more of an unspoken agreement to not disclose it publicly. Even his father hadn’t directly mentioned it. But for Xun Xian, there was no need to hide it.
As someone from the Defense Department, she naturally had a strong affinity for the Great Tang Prison. She wouldn’t have thought to spread this secret, so telling her was saving her the trouble of constantly pursuing it.
