Chapter 354 - 199: The Disciples’ Commotion! Direction of the Jade Ship! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Yuchi brought up the main topic, saying:
"Big brother, I need to go out for a while. I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be back, but at the latest, it should be when spring is in full bloom and business resumes, probably in early April."
"Out for so long?"
Wei Zhe looked curiously at the handsome and calm young man beside him and asked, "Is it something related to your master?"
"Yes, there are still many matters to handle with the sect, so it might take around two months." Yuchi said seriously.
"Alright, don’t worry, there won’t be any issues in the meantime."
"Mm, if someone comes to Wei Mansion looking for me, just say I’m not at home. If they ask where I’ve gone, don’t make up anything, just say you don’t know." Yuchi reminded.
He guessed that Han Ming from the Great Tang Prison might still come by, but he really didn’t have the time to deal with that; he had more pressing matters. Besides, he wasn’t able to handle such matters concerning the Great Tang Prison completely right now.
"I understand."
Wei Zhe could very well ask his third brother where he was going or what he was doing, but there was no need. Even if he asked, he wouldn’t be able to help. It was better to let his third brother handle it alone and just take care of the issues in Xufu Town.
If it was last year, Yuchi leaving wouldn’t have been feasible, but now, at the start of the year, since business hasn’t resumed yet, there’s still about a two-month freeze period. During this time, Xufu Town is quite peaceful, and the town mostly deals with trivial matters, which Wei Zhe can handle.
"I’ll check on the guild every day, but what if Bai Rou from the Bai Family comes looking for you? That woman is scarier than Miss Xiangxiang; her motives are so strong I can smell them from afar, like a ripe pomegranate waiting to be picked." Wei Zhe said with a laugh.
"Haha, it’s fine, I’ve already discussed it with the Bai Family. They have some cows bought from outside, and every year they’ll send over fresh papaya milk, among other things."
"That stuff is pretty good, make sure you supervise little Ximo, let her eat and drink plenty of it. When a young girl is growing, it’s important to pay attention, or she might not grow properly, which would be embarrassing." Yuchi also laughed.
"Yeah! So when are you leaving?"
"Right now."
Wei Zhe: "..."
He watched as his third brother walked alone out of Xufu Town, wiping some cold sweat from his forehead. He was leaving just like that, so decisively.
Then.
He yelled into the air, "Third brother, do you have any more of that elixir? Give me another batch, even Miss Xiangxiang says it’s strong!"
...
After leaving Xufu Town, Yuchi’s steps gradually picked up speed, and he quickly vanished from Xufu Town’s sight, finally arriving at a secluded place, decisively heading to Ascension Gate.
These days, he was being tormented by this girl Wei Qingzhu, better to go to Ascension Gate to lay low. Otherwise, if it continues, she’d have her way eventually.
"Bai Rou is the kind that attacks head-on. Not just me, anyone can clearly see that she wants to do business with me; it’s like a flame coming right at you."
"If you get caught in that flame, you’ll be burned to death. But this flame is very obvious, easy to dodge."
Yuchi chuckled.
"As for this girl Wei Qingzhu, she’s the type that burns you without noticing, a subtle transformation; she seems innocent, cute, and pure on the surface, but she knows well men’s thoughts. She’s very good at showcasing her strengths, which is the truly scary part."
"Previously, I was almost caught, almost bitten by her."
"Luckily, luckily Xun Xian jumped in to save my life back then. Otherwise, if things continued, she’d have overpowered me, wouldn’t this girl have just soared right up?"
Thinking back, I still feel a bit frightened, but she seems to have gradually recovered, slowly turning back to who she used to be, no longer just obsessed with revenge.
It seems there’s no need to make her wait a whole year. When I return this time, if she’s behaving normally, I’ll send her to Ascension Gate to train.
This would be good for her, and for me too. Otherwise, if she’s around me, coming up with new tricks daily, will she do something even more shocking tomorrow... no, no, not surprising, terrifying, then I’d be embarras— no, awkward?
His old face blushing, Yuchi shook his head.
He had already arrived at Ascension Gate, surrounded by overflowing snow, a mountain double the height of the surrounding ones, exuding a very distinct majesty.
Standing at the mountainside, looking around, waves upon waves of silver peaks, undulating, varied in height, with a cold wind blowing, carrying snow, and the mountainside already buried ankle-deep in snowflakes.
