Chapter 1212 - 339: The Cloud Descending Sect Incident (Part 2)
Smelly feet follow the same principle.
At least recently, while traveling, I’ve been carefree and haven’t worn shoes. Although at first I attracted flies along the way, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.
After everything was ready, Yuchi turned his head to take a look at the sleeping posture of the two beauties.
Turns out the two girls were blinking at him, clearly not fully awake, looking groggy.
They’re really beautiful.
But a huge word "DANGER" appeared in Yuchi’s mind!
"No way!"
"Sleep~ sleep~ my dear baby~"
Yuchi started singing a lullaby.
Once the two girls fell back asleep, he let out a heavy sigh of relief and checked his body’s condition, confirming everything was fine. That’s when he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily there’s no problem. If there was a problem and I didn’t remember it..."
"I’d just bash my head against the wall."
"Now..."
"I’m outta here."
...
After leaving the Immortal Robe Pavilion.
Yuchi arrived at the Celestial Capital Department, where Chen Weiran was. Chen Weiran hadn’t seen Yuchi in a long time, and upon seeing him appear before him again, he thought to himself how this old fox had run to him, all the while smiling and making tea for him.
"Long time no see, Chairman Yuchi. Is there any matter that brings you to the Celestial Capital Department this time?" Chen Weiran asked proactively.
Feeling the chaotic aura of his counterpart who seems to have committed too many deceitful deeds, Yuchi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No big deal, just wanted to ask how Uncle Chen here destroyed the Cloud Mountain Sect back in the day."
Pfft!
Is this what’s called ’no big deal’!? What do you consider a big deal then?
Chen Weiran dumbfoundedly stared at Yuchi.
He had absolutely no idea why Yuchi suddenly brought up this matter. One must know, Yuchi probably doesn’t know about the Cloud Mountain Sect incident from years ago, so why bring it up suddenly? Is it because the Celestial Capital Department has started investigating this matter again?!
Heart pounding in fear, Chen Weiran awkwardly said:
"Chairman Yuchi, why did you suddenly bring this up? I really don’t understand what you’re talking about, what do you mean by the Cloud Mountain Sect incident? I’ve had no dealings with the Cloud Mountain Sect, and speaking of the sect being wiped out, it’s been over two years, hasn’t it?"
Tsk-tsk, the look on this old fox’s face is truly worthy of being recorded in film school tutorials—awkward, panicked, a bit caught off guard, yet forcing himself to remain calm and pretend nothing’s wrong.
It’s really putting him on the spot here.
Yuchi responded more politely:
"Well, Uncle Chen, recently I’ve been dealing with some issues in a town, and some troublesome figures have appeared, often trying to kill me directly, which I find very distressing. So I decided to contact some assassin sects to handle the situation."
"After investigating, I found out Uncle Chen here had contact with a sect called Cloud Descending Sect. I just wanted to reach out to them. Of course, I don’t know if this is true or not. Apparently, Cloud Descending Sect is known for maintaining customer privacy."
"I’m merely hypothesizing. If this is presumptuous of me, then I’ll leave now."
Actually, Yuchi didn’t originally know about this.
He lacked the perspective that Chen Weiran did. But when he first met Han Meiren, now the beautiful Changyi, she brought up the Cloud Descending Sect issue, saying someone commissioned the sect to hunt down the Cloud Mountain Sect.
Back then, this resulted in the sect leader and key members of the Cloud Mountain Sect being annihilated, leading to a simple deduction that it must have been the works of the Celestial Capital Department and the Demon-slaying Bureau.
Otherwise, who else would be against the Cloud Mountain Sect?
This is abandoning the cart to protect the general.
Chen Weiran didn’t know how to respond. A "yes" would mean admitting to connections with Cloud Descending Sect. People from the government could not have such ties with such sects, let alone meddle with matters involving another sect.
But if he answered "no," with Yuchi’s certain gaze, it’s clear he’s asking with conviction. Yuchi’s known to not be rash, so saying "no" equates to severing relations with Yuchi.
Dang, this is embarrassing! It’s a dilemma!
And he is the Director of the Celestial Capital Department, a renowned figure in Jiangzhou City, yet here he is, being cornered by a young lad during the New Year!
Yuchi, rubbing his head, said straightforwardly:
"Uncle Chen, could you take me to the people of Cloud Descending Sect? I just want to kill someone. Of course, if you’re willing to do it, I can pay you."
"It’s just a small matter."
"I believe Uncle Chen can help me, after all you are my uncle."
Chen Weiran: "..."
Is this a small matter? Ancestor, is this a small matter? What do you consider a big matter then?! Chen Weiran was about to explode.
Then, seeing Yuchi’s harmless fish-eyed expression, he could only respond sincerely: "Uncle doesn’t like money... ahem, uncle has no connection with Cloud Descending Sect. As someone from the Celestial Capital Department, how could I collude with such a notorious sect?"
"Totally impossible, right?"
"But if you want to find Cloud Descending Sect, I can help you. Of course, I can’t be entirely sure, I only casually heard about the whereabouts of someone from Cloud Descending Sect. Whether that person is actually there, I can’t say for certain."
Hey, still putting on airs at this point, it’s pointless... Yuchi chuckled, "Thank you, Uncle Chen, for showing me the way. Really, I’ll thank you with candy later."
Chen Weiran: Thanks for the candy!
No choice.
Chen Weiran is still somewhat wary of Yuchi. Yuchi hasn’t shown any ill intent now, but if he does later, then he’d strike first and kill him! As for now, he can only take Yuchi to a corner of Jiangzhou City.
"Careful, the ground is slippery," Chen Weiran reminded.
"Okay!"
At this moment, Yuchi was like a child, skating on the roadside, showing off youthfulness and cuteness like a young lad. He also had the naive fantasies of an adolescent, filled with clear and vibrant imagination.
"I believe it!"
"Ghost!"
"You’re such a naughty guy!" Chen Weiran reluctantly took Yuchi out.
