Chapter 333 - 195: You Can No Longer Be Together! I Really Appreciate You! (Requesting votes)_6
Yuchi spoke out his logic.
In Jiangzhou City, does Yuchi have a good relationship with the Celestial Capital Department? Not really. Is the relationship with the Demon-slaying Bureau good? Not at all. Is the relationship with the Defense Department good? Definitely not. So it must be your Imperial Decree Department helping secretly, after all, you’ve always been helping me. If it’s not you, then who else could it be?
The City Lord was almost in tears, "I didn’t help, but your logic seems flawless. Otherwise, the Great Tang Prison wouldn’t have just come to your Xufu Town like this."
Between laughter and tears, the City Lord finally calmed down and formally said:
"Young Master Yuchi, I really wasn’t the one helping. If it were an ordinary matter and I was helping, I would definitely say it out loud because I’d want you to feel my benevolence. But this time, it’s surely someone else secretly helping you, and this force is extremely powerful!"
After hearing this, Yuchi went through a series of expressions.
First, he was grateful to the City Lord, then puzzled, then thoughtful, and finally had an enlightened look: "Could it be that the fortune teller was right, and there’s really a great person secretly helping me this year?"
When the City Lord looked over for clarification, Yuchi smiled and explained the situation.
He said that one night he was walking as usual and suddenly noticed a fortune teller by the roadside. Regardless of why this fortune teller approached him, the fortune teller immediately congratulated him, saying Yuchi was a dragon among men. He told him although he might be in trouble recently, he shouldn’t panic, for by the end of the year, with the winds of change, a dragon rises; this is the sign of great help!
As for if this is true, there’s some truth and some exaggeration. In a previous life, he also encountered a ’great person’ who praised him for a couple of words and charged him ’two coins,’ so Yuchi slightly altered his experience to narrate this story.
The City Lord absolutely believed it. His mind raced quickly, and he exclaimed, "It must be someone from the Star Observing Platform!"
The City Lord knew Song Yinghan’s identity.
Song Yinghan was from the Star Observing Platform, and she had once shared an umbrella with Yuchi, which indicates a remarkable relationship. So this so-called benefactor must be Song Yinghan, and who is Song Yinghan? Her father is the Heavenly Mirror of the Star Observing Platform! With assistance from the Heavenly Mirror, surely such things have clues!
Song Yinghan’s father, Song Qingshan: I didn’t help, I wanted to break them up instead!
Yuchi understood once again.
"So it’s Yinghan!" Yuchi’s face showed a lot of tenderness.
"Indeed, these two have a knack!"
The City Lord understood instantly.
At that moment, seeing Yuchi was akin to seeing a god.
First, this guy is the president of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, a very high status!
Second, in Xufu Town, he’s incredibly famous, known by everyone! In Jiangzhou City, he’s moving increasingly in that direction.
Third, this guy also knows people from the Star Observing Platform, and those people even help him so much, so surely this guy and Song Yinghan have some inexplicable relationship; it’s just monstrous!
Fourth, once Xufu Town grows up, this guy will become a quite formidable existence, likely to be remembered throughout history!
Fifth, he even knows how to talk to people from the Great Tang Prison directly; could it be true face-to-face dialogue?!
Sour!
Truly sour, like eating old jar sauerkraut, the City Lord looked at Yuchi, his eyes filled with envy.
And that’s exactly the result Yuchi wanted.
Firstly, he could make the City Lord more devotedly stand behind him, making many matters in Jiangzhou City easier, with the City Lord diligently helping, preparing for the formal emergence of the Immortal Robe Pavilion, so he wouldn’t need to say anything about the Immortal Robe Pavilion, and the City Lord would voluntarily assist.
Secondly, he could more justifiably ask the following questions.
"So that’s how it is, City Lord, do you understand the Great Tang Prison? I have no idea about the Great Tang Prison. I don’t even know who to thank. Is it really the Star Observing Platform helping me?" Yuchi seemed somewhat anxious.
"I know a little about the Great Tang Prison, as for whether it’s the Star Observing Platform, it’s highly likely!" The City Lord answered confidently, only the Star Observing Platform could be proven.
And this is a classic case of being too clever for one’s own good. Ordinary people couldn’t think of the Star Observing Platform, and couldn’t drag it out from Yuchi’s few words. Yuchi seeking the City Lord was because the City Lord is a sensible person; otherwise, it would be better to seek the Celestial Capital Department.
But the Celestial Capital Department are fragile cultivators who are generally not smart.
Cultivator: Stereotype?! You’re done, we’re going to tell the whole world, Yuchi looks down on cultivators!
Now Yuchi nodded.
He attempted to ask:
"So in the eyes of the City Lord, what kind of existence is the Great Tang Prison? I’m completely unclear, and I don’t want not to know what to say when I meet them in the future, so City Lord could you tell me in advance so I know how to express gratitude?"
Asking due to curiosity versus asking out of gratitude, for the City Lord, although the results are the same — answering Yuchi’s questions — the focus of his memory would be different.
All living beings are living in the ’process,’ the ’result’ itself isn’t as vividly remembered as commonly said.
If someone from the Great Tang Prison asks, the City Lord would recount his personal insights on the matter.
And with embellishments, Yuchi becomes a ’timid’ small-minded person, trying to kneel and lick the Great Tang Prison, so seeking understanding.
To a ’noble’ person, Yuchi is simply trash, but in reality, he can only choose to reveal flaws. After all, at this stage, this is a safer action and a best measure to avoid making enemies everywhere.
He is not an orphan; he cannot simply escape after stabbing here and there, ignoring his many family members.
And now he finally has to ask about the Great Tang Prison.
Yuchi believes the one who understands the Great Tang Prison best in Jiangzhou City is the Imperial Decree Department, and why is that?
The reason is simple.
Because the Imperial Decree Department is the weakest and they need to use their brains to survive.
Among the Four Major Institutions, the other three are almost non-human, filled with very powerful figures. Only the Imperial Decree Department is a group of non-cultivated people united together, yet they still survive.
It’s like humanity of the previous era, while the other three institutions might be tiger or lion.
Fist fights are definitely not the way to win, but using one’s mind to survive, that’s why humanity can reach so far.
And thanks to their relatively weak bodies, their brains had a place to apply, otherwise, in the past, it wouldn’t have been humans exploring space but whales roaming the deep sea.
