Chapter 450 - 214: The Zombie King’s Array! The Main Room is Doomed! _2
What on earth makes Yuchi so powerful that this female cultivator would give him such a look? Could it be that he once withstood an attack from dozens of women and still counter-killed them with a sliver of health?
"What’s the matter? If Young Master Xu has any questions, just ask. We’re friends, after all," Yuchi said with a smile.
He didn’t know how others viewed Xu Rufeng, but in his eyes, Xu Rufeng was an easygoing person. Even though there were some misunderstandings between them before, and even though the Celestial Craft Workshop seemed to look down on him for being Yuchi Honest, he never did anything outrageous.
Everything was quite straightforward, just like how a young master from a major power should be. Even though his old face couldn’t compare to his second brother, Wei Fei, in terms of appearance, he was certainly a bit more handsome than Yuchi Honest. Little girls might have a hard time resisting such a young master.
Of course, he had even less reason to make enemies with the Celestial Craft Workshop. Even if Xu Rufeng wasn’t an inner layer person of the workshop and was just a shopkeeper stationed in the Canglan City Celestial Craft Workshop, who knows, he might get to know the real people from the Celestial Craft Workshop through Xu Rufeng in the future?
Such a power should be actively befriended; acting cool won’t end well.
After receiving confirmation from Yuchi, Xu Rufeng smiled twice, took out a folding fan, and started fanning himself even in the dead of winter as he asked, "Well, which sect does Young Master Yuchi belong to?"
He sure knew how to ask questions, directly getting to the heart of the matter. But of course, I couldn’t say too much... Yuchi replied with a smile, "I’m a junior uncle from a small sect, but I don’t actually have any cultivation. It’s because my uncle holds an important position in the sect."
A small sect... If Xu Rufeng believed the sect with all those female disciples was small, it’d be absurd. But the way the other spoke didn’t seem deceitful, and indeed, he’d heard those female disciples call him junior uncle before.
As for Yuchi not revealing which sect he came from, he probably intended to keep a low profile. That’s the impression Yuchi gave him now, very low-key. After a little thought, Xu Rufeng was curious and asked, "Young Master Yuchi, do you really not have any cultivation?"
"I don’t have any cultivation."
Yuchi confirmed once more, grinning honestly, "If I had cultivation, or if my cultivation were very powerful, why would I be kicked out just for developing feelings with a beauty from the Guan Xing Tai? It wouldn’t be justified, would it?"
"...I believe you." Xu Rufeng really believed it then.
Indeed, if Yuchi were a young lad, a Core Formation Stage cultivator with a brilliant mind and a good heart, there’d be no reason for him to be kicked out of a situation like that. After all, compared to the Celestial Craft Workshop, the Guan Xing Tai isn’t that significant.
If he were the Celestial Craft Workshop’s celestial overseer, he would also favor such a youth; how could he just expel him?
However, while cultivators don’t favor mortals, Xu Rufeng appreciates them. The Celestial Craft Workshop is all about mortals, and even though their demarcations between cultivators and mortals are vague, they still see themselves as the strongest. However, when it comes to genuine closeness, they still prefer mortals.
"Truly remarkable!"
Standing in the snow and looking at the corpse in front of him, Xu Rufeng couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration:
"If Young Master doesn’t mind, you’re welcome to visit our Celestial Craft Workshop often. We have activities from time to time at the Celestial Craft Workshop that will invite you over. If you could marry one of our Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet ladies, it would surely be a great thing."
The Celestial Craft Workshop is divided into inner and outer cabinets. The inner cabinet mainly consists of those who study Heavenly Crafted Objects, with a smaller number of members similar to the inner disciples of a sect, mainly focused on cultivation.
The outer cabinet is akin to outer disciples of a sect, responsible for earning money. The outer cabinet naturally resides in the Celestial Craft Workshop’s pavilions in major cities.
If one were to say the inner cabinet is nobler than the outer, that’s not quite right. Everyone belongs to the same industry chain, and you can’t simply look down on sales if you’re purely into product research... that’s not reasonable.
Hearing this, Yuchi also nodded with a smile. Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet ladies? If there’s a chance, he’d certainly like to "get to know" them, but there’s no need to rush. He had too much on hand to deal with at the moment, so he would handle things step by step, cautiously, to avoid any accidents.
"Young Master Xu is truly outstanding and is bound to be admired by many ladies," Yuchi flattered him.
"Ha-ha, not at all, I’m just the shopkeeper of the Canglan City Celestial Craft Workshop, a mere title. Essentially, I’m still very ordinary."
Though flattered, Xu Rufeng humbly laughed, "So, where is Young Master Yuchi from? Your accent doesn’t sound like you’re from Canglan City."
The Canglan City accent is quite unique, often mixing nasal and lateral sounds, confusing "little tiger" with "little brain tiger," but Yuchi’s accent clearly distinguishes between front and back nasals, for instance, saying "eating" as "eating" sometimes...
