Chapter 380 - 203: Mr. Wei of Canglan City! Finally found a clue! _2
"Yes!"
"I can’t wait to complete the commission now. When the time comes, we’ll hand over the gold and silver, and the Sect Leader will surely smile."
"Haha, then let’s do our best!"
"Let’s go!"
...
The next morning, Yuchi sat inside the inn, enjoying a free breakfast. The innkeeper’s wife proactively approached him, serving a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, all while casting flirty glances. Yuchi clearly knew what the innkeeper’s wife was thinking.
"She wants to harm me!" Yuchi realized.
While having breakfast, the four disciples appeared neatly, pretending as if nothing had happened.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, we’re going out to have fun."
"Did you have breakfast?"
"Yes, we did."
"Alright, did you run out of gold and silver?"
"No, if we were short, we would have told you, Senior Brother Sect Leader."
"Okay, be safe on the road."
"Mm-hmm, Senior Brother Sect Leader, take care of yourself. You still have the scent of a pretty girl on you; remember, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she can be. Don’t ever trust a beautiful woman, except for us!"
Yuchi: "..."
Watching the four of them scurry away, the way they acted as if they were up to something secret—I was sure they were planning something they didn’t want me to know.
This made him even more curious.
If I have nothing to do today, I might as well see what these four girls are up to. As he continued eating his preserved egg and lean meat porridge, he became more curious about what his disciples were doing.
"Could they be up to no good?"
"I doubt it."
"So what exactly are they up to? It’s really quite curious."
The four disciples weren’t particularly clever, knowing too little about worldly affairs. Yuchi had no intention of letting them adapt to this world slowly; there was no need. They were on the path of cultivation, entirely different from his own.
Even the glamorous Song in the Celestial Capital Department had experienced disastrous failures, so he hoped his four treasured disciples wouldn’t meet with misfortune elsewhere in Canglan City.
Song Yinghan: "Are you being polite?"
From afar, the innkeeper’s wife swayed over, discreetly placing a bunch of grass on the table as she twisted and turned.
Innkeeper’s wife: "The room fee can be waived, you know."
Yuchi: "..."
...
After breakfast.
Taking a stroll, around nine in the morning, Yuchi headed to the Ziyue Star Pavilion.
On his way, he was pondering whether he needed to change lodgings. This innkeeper’s wife was too much; from a brief conversation, he’d gathered she’d been single for many years, and she seemed to suggest she’d have young men seek her out whenever they wanted a break from their struggles.
"Young man, when you no longer wish to strive, you can come find me. I may not have much, but I do have plenty of houses," she hinted.
Yuchi thought about the Wei Family estate in Xufu Town.
Though his estate in Xufu Town couldn’t compare to the luxury of Canglan City, it was, after all, a decent ’doghouse.’"
Once he arrived at the Ziyue Star Pavilion, Yuchi was already known by the attendants there, naturally granting him passage.
"Thank you all for your hard work," Yuchi said, heading upstairs on his own to find Song Yinghan.
"Take your time. If you need anything, feel free to let us know," the attendants said, curiously speculating about Yuchi’s identity. To them, Song Yinghan was a formidable figure. Yet here was such a proud woman requiring a young man’s help?
Could this young man also be from the Stargazing Platform?
It didn’t seem likely... Stargazing Platform members wore white, but this guy was in black, almost as if he came to stir trouble.
"But no matter, you can’t judge a book by its cover."
"The more we think about it, the more we feel we treated him well yesterday. Otherwise, if we had been arrogant, it would have been us suffering."
Arriving upstairs, he knocked on the door, calling out, "Lord Song, your subordinate Yuchi requests an audience."
From inside, there was a rustling sound, and after a few breaths, Song Yinghan’s voice replied, "Okay."
Then Song Yinghan, wearing a mask, opened the door.
Yuchi grinned, causing Song, the beauty, to shudder, thinking to herself: The wolf is here!
The door closed.
A while later.
She took off her mask, slightly disheveled, and slipped from Yuchi’s embrace. Despite only a day’s absence, she mused how he seemed as if he hadn’t seen her for a long time.
So eager.
Doesn’t he know that things take time; patience is key?
However, seeing how much Yuchi enjoyed her company, Song felt happy. After all, what girl would refuse such a young man? It was just that he had no cultivation yet. In the future, she still had to be cautious not to hurt him unintentionally with her spiritual energy.
Reflecting on it again.
Wasn’t there an elixir that could forcibly grant someone a Spirit Root?
Perhaps she should consider this seriously. See what materials are needed, or whether such an elixir could be bought. If she acquired this elixir, Yuchi could begin cultivating.
Even if he didn’t reach a significant realm in cultivation, when the time came to truly open their hearts and connect, she wouldn’t have to worry about his fragility.
Yuchi wasn’t aware of Song’s intentions to boost his Spirit Root. After letting go of her, he looked around the bedroom.
