Chapter 1206 - 338: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (Part 1)
The man suddenly said, "I don’t know you, we’re just here to admire the moon, so we don’t understand what you mean."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the woman with a wooden expression and said gently, "Dear, do you know this senior?"
The woman: "..."
Professional, huh.
The woman snapped out of it and immediately said, "Husband, I don’t know this person. We just came up to the rooftop to admire the moon. I have no idea what’s going on, or why a senior suddenly appeared beside us. Could it be that I’m sleep-deprived lately?"
Man: "Women need to pay more attention to sleep. Quality of sleep is more important than any skincare product."
Woman: "Thank you for the reminder, husband."
Then the two said simultaneously to Yuchi, "Sir, we’ll be going now. We won’t disturb your moon-watching. Hopefully, we’ll meet again in the future."
Even chickens could act better than you two... Yuchi placed a hand on each of their shoulders and said speechlessly, "Alright, alright, let’s not pretend anymore. You two from the Cloud Descending Sect, it’s my bad for making you wait in Jiangzhou City for days. How about we chat outside the city?"
The two fell silent once again.
The man wanted to argue but it was pointless.
Yuchi had already stated everything clearly. Any arguments at this point would be meaningless, and Yuchi didn’t even give them a chance to speak, slowly rising into the air, carrying both of them, heading outside Jiangzhou City.
Then, the man’s life started flashing before his eyes, damn it, really like a slideshow, which means he’s about to die.
The woman was even more transfixed, being carried by Yuchi, she didn’t even have the intention to resist.
After a stick of incense, Yuchi placed the two beside a river, watching the melting ice of the small river, washing his hands.
"Do you have a healthy horse?" Yuchi asked without turning back, "Show me the healthy horse, I want to see if it’s a green horse or a red horse."
"..."
The two stood blankly behind, what’s with the horse? Are there green horses? What’s going on!
Seeing Yuchi smilingly approaching them, he temporarily put away some old gags, and asked:
"First, allow me to introduce myself. I am Yuchi, a minor character behind the Immortal Robe Pavilion."
"And we here are not keen on fighting, in fact, not much of a fighter myself."
"Lastly, I don’t want to start a war with the Cloud Descending Sect, is there a way we can part peacefully?"
The two: "..."
Utterly speechless, you say you’re not a fighter yourself? But you just carried us out of Jiangzhou City like chickens, saying you can’t fight is really a stretch for a human?
But...
It seems Yuchi has no intention of directly fighting them?
The man, watching Yuchi in front of him, smiling openly, thought silently for a moment. Then thought, since the other party knows they are from the Cloud Descending Sect, then they know how terrifying they are. So even if Yuchi’s cultivation is stronger, he wouldn’t dare provoke the Cloud Descending Sect, right? Hehe, the Cloud Descending Sect is indeed a reliable backer, now is the time to rely on it.
The man didn’t answer Yuchi’s question, instead, he directly said, "Fellow Daoist, you hide it well, no one knew you were a cultivator, we always thought you were a mortal, but now you’re showing this side, quite deep scheming."
Yuchi smiled awkwardly, "Can’t help it, outside, you can’t just wear your heart on your sleeve, right? The more I say, the less you believe. If I say nothing, you might actually think I’m a genuinely bright person?"
The man and woman nodded, thinking it’s like doing business, the more you say, the customers feel they’re getting more for their money. If you say nothing, instead, it gives a sense of genuineness. Like Cloud Descending Sect, always a fixed price.
No bargaining.
Yuchi continued, "So, what do you think? I don’t want to start a war with the Cloud Descending Sect, is there a way to resolve our conflict? You must be genuine people, would you agree to my humble request?"
Yuchi really doesn’t want to start a war with the Cloud Descending Sect, not out of fear, but because it’s a hassle. He has many things to do, adding a Cloud Descending Sect issue would mean at least an extra month of hassle, which is annoying for him.
Of course, it’s just purely annoying, if someone insists on it, then he has nothing to say.
Would just change his mindset, say he’s going to the Cloud Descending Sect to pick up some unclaimed gold and silver.
The man was silent for a while, then said flatly:
"No way, once we at the Cloud Descending Sect accept an assignment, we won’t quit unless we die. So you only have one option, find our client and make them cancel the assassination contract, or your women are still our targets."
Cloud Descending Sect is like that, either kill the target or the one who issued the contract cancels it midway, deposit non-refundable.
That’s the pride of the Cloud Descending Sect, talk is easy but never joke about them.
Yuchi understood: "So the people issuing this contract are the sect behind the Wu family, right? If so, I’ll have them cancel the pursuit of Yuan’Er and the others. That will do, right?"
"Indeed it would work."
The man shook his head: "But we don’t know who the client is, or even if we did, we wouldn’t say. The Cloud Descending Sect has vast powers, we aren’t afraid of someone like you, if you have the guts, go ahead and trouble us, let’s see if you have that courage."
Cloud Descending Sect: "???"
Goddamn it, you’re nuts, aren’t you! Stirring up trouble here? Is this the time to push the sect forward? Are you really part of the sect?
