Chapter 455 - 215: The Fool of the Three States! Blessings to Third Uncle!
Song Qingshan couldn’t even remember how he returned to Canglan City; now he sat quietly in the Ziyue Star Pavilion, looking utterly confused. Last night, he asked Song Yinghan about Yuchi, wanting to know who this Yuchi who caused so much havoc truly was. However, his daughter simply shook her head, saying that such secrets were between them and revealed nothing about the actual situation.
This left Song Qingshan’s mind buzzing; even if he were a simpleton, he could tell that Yuchi was definitely hiding something—could he be an old fox disguised as a naive scholar? In his life, he’d seen many who pretended to be weak before striking, but Yuchi Honest was indeed different...
Hey! This guy really does pretend to be weak and has become addicted to it? He has no intention at all of stepping up and revealing himself! Yuchi Honest, can’t you just come out and show me some assets, display your cultivation level, or anything else?
That way, even if you scare me, at least I know who you really are! He handles everything so low-key, by the time things are wrapped up, barely anyone knows about Yuchi Honest’s involvement.
Is it truly "finishing the task, dusting off his sleeves, concealing both his deeds and name"?!
Shit!
"He’s really cunning, absolutely cunning! His actions are all to reduce his presence as much as possible, to avoid being discovered by hidden enemies, always keeping himself in the shadows!"
Song Qingshan almost slapped himself: "On the surface, he’s in Canglan City, but in reality, do any locals know who Yuchi is or where he’s from?"
"No, they don’t!"
In the eyes of the Celestial Capital Department, Yuchi is merely Song Yinghan’s Mr. Yuchi.
In the view of the Ziyue Star Pavilion, Yuchi is just one of Song Yinghan’s guests.
In the perception of the Demon-slaying Bureau, Yuchi has no sense of presence.
In the eyes of the Defense Department, who is Yuchi?
In the Imperial Decree Department, Yuchi is considered more formidable than Song Qingshan?
As for the Celestial Craft Workshop, they are genuinely strong and recognize Yuchi Honest as a "mortal," but other than that, who knows where he comes from, where he’s going, or why he’s in Canglan City now?
No one knows what kind of person Yuchi Honest truly is.
"And I previously thought he was insecure, but after going in circles, he was just too lazy to argue with someone like me, he just smiles it off."
Thinking of this, Song Qingshan felt he might as well seek out Yuchi for a chat, see if he could learn more about this person.
"I think I made a mistake."
"I think I really misled Yinghan?"
Song Yinghan: Now you realize?!!!!!!
Just when Song Qingshan decided to look for Yuchi.
Where was Yuchi?
Yuchi had already finished dining with his disciples, paid, returned to the Ascension Gate from the inn, and left.
The situation was just as Song Qingshan had thought; Yuchi couldn’t be bothered about reputation or prestige.
As long as the matters were sorted out, it was enough. Otherwise, if one was obsessed with how others perceived them, one day they might easily fall to others’ attacks and die in a desolate place. The more concerned one is with how others see them, the more trivial they become, eventually leading to turmoil in the mind and straying down the wrong path.
When one treads a crooked path, they become oblivious to others.
Besides...
Besides, can anyone compare to the little sisters of the Ascension Gate? Just joking, the beauties in Ascension Gate are far more interesting than outside matters.
...
As soon as Qinghan and the others returned to the sect, they respectfully saluted Yuchi and immediately dashed into the Hexagonal Immortal Tower to cultivate! They couldn’t slack off! This trip lasted twenty days, and they hadn’t cultivated during that time. If they get caught slacking, Sect Leader Senior Brother would surely be upset!
They needed to diligently cultivate and prepare for the sect’s grand competition in two months. Cultivating immortality was a path that would eventually present itself in front of them!
Meanwhile, Huo Yuluo did not leave. She looked curiously at her Sect Leader Senior Brother because Yuchi had told her before that there would be a grand treasure to show her once they returned to Ascension Gate.
Grand treasure...
What was this grand treasure? She was very curious. She tried hard not to think of anything inappropriate, but her Sect Leader Senior Brother’s term always made her inevitably think along the wrong lines, especially since he said this grand treasure was only for her eyes...
How big of a treasure was this, to make her Sect Leader Senior Brother so proud?
"Where’s the grand treasure, Sect Leader Senior Brother?" Huo Yuluo’s impossibly beautiful face was filled with anticipation, followed by a hint of fear.
What are you afraid of... Yuchi smiled bitterly; for one, he never uttered the words "grand treasure," he just said "treasure." He didn’t expect his dear disciple to misconstrue it so much; it must be because she’s spent too much time with Feiling, transforming her entire mindset?
Should he get some cleansing powder to wash off her thoughts, to keep Huo Yuluo as pure as she should be, especially not going astray with her thoughts—or better yet, not driving her thoughts astray with such speed?
