Chapter 1210 - 339: The Cloud Descending Sect Incident (2)
Another elder understood this: "That’s right, Yuchi is just Yuchi. Right now, he’s nothing more than a loner. If he really had any backing, he wouldn’t be here on his own, so we can entirely turn him into our puppet easily."
He finished washing his feet, wiped them on a male disciple’s clothing, and after cleaning them, stood up wearing his boots: "Alright then, looking forward to your good news, after all, there’s no good news from Cloud Descending Sect yet. Wei Yuan and the others are still alive."
The Grand Elder seemed a bit lazy.
"Eh."
"Rest assured."
"It’s just the New Year now, Yuchi took Wei Yuan and the others somewhere for it. Such an enigmatic figure, quite baffling. Anyway, we’ll just wait in the sect for good news on them, and once Wei Yuan’s dead, we’ll act immediately."
After saying this, the Grand Elder who had met Yuchi once sighed.
"Poor Wei Yuan, such a beautiful girl, to be killed. If she weren’t the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Robe Pavilion, I’d find a way to bring her to my side."
"How can Yuchi even match her?"
"What a pity."
Another elder was speechless.
He could obviously see that fellow’s hopeless demeanor. Forget Wei Yuan, he couldn’t even handle the female disciple in front of him, yet he still boasted? Such shamelessness, even other disciples mocked him behind his back.
...
In Jiangzhou City, Yuchi returned to the Immortal Robe Pavilion and casually found a room to sleep in. But just after arriving back at the pavilion, he saw Xun Xian eating a chicken leg.
He was momentarily stunned, then smiled and walked over: "Miss Xun, you haven’t gone to rest yet."
Xun Xian turned her head to confirm it was Yuchi, temporarily put down her chicken leg, and said: "I’m worried about someone coming from Cloud Descending Sect to attack Yuan’Er and the others. They’re quite ruthless — mercenaries who see money but not people."
Ah... Yuchi sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and spoke kindly: "There’s no problem now. I’ve already dealt with two people from Cloud Descending Sect. They shouldn’t be coming over, so you can relax without worrying about them for a while."
Xun Xian was surprised. Were they dealt with already? When did that happen? Looking at Yuchi drinking tea, she wanted to ask but ended up speaking with mixed emotions: "Alright, but handling those two doesn’t eliminate the danger from Cloud Descending Sect entirely."
"The Cloud Descending Sect’s mission has a deadline, and if they don’t complete it within that time, they’ll just send more people."
"It’ll be trouble then."
In Xun Xian’s understanding, such an assassin sect like Cloud Descending Sect was incredibly mysterious. Who knew how powerful they truly were, so Yuchi taking out two doesn’t solve this; rather, if a conflict ensued, it would be hard to manage.
Yuchi gestured reassuringly for Xun Xian not to worry: "No worries, I’ll go deal with Cloud Descending Sect within the month. It should not be a problem."
Trouble was certainly trouble, but looking at it from another perspective, tackling such sideline tasks with Cloud Descending Sect would earn quite a sum. Although directly increasing Ascension Gate’s status was absolutely impossible, it would still be a nice addition to the treasury.
Xun Xian suddenly remembered something... She was too accustomed to seeing Yuchi as just an ordinary person, whether it be in attire or manner of speaking.
Yet after observing Ascension Gate with him, she suddenly realized how formidable he was.
Since there was no life threat to Yuchi, Xun Xian had another question: "How will you find Cloud Descending Sect? They must be deeply hidden, and unlikely to casually reveal their location."
Yuchi understood her concern and poured her a cup of tea too: "It’s alright, I’ll ask Chen Weiran tomorrow."
Xun Xian thanked him for the tea and curiously asked, "Chen Weiran?"
The name was a bit unfamiliar since she hadn’t seen that guy in a while.
But a silhouette of that man surfaced in Yuchi’s mind. He set down the teapot and sat back down.
"Yes, the Director of Celestial Capital Department in Jiangzhou City. He once used Cloud Descending Sect to kill the Sect Leader of Cloud Mountain Sect and others, so he must have contact with them. I could find Cloud Descending Sect’s contact through him, wouldn’t that be manageable?"
Xun Xian was taken aback, her admiration and oddness evident as she looked at Yuchi: "You really have a good memory; you still remember such things when I’ve already forgotten."
