Chapter 1215 - 340: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (3)
Alright, Yuchi didn’t feel like talking anymore: "You’re busy, so we’ll be off now."
The old man waved his hand:
"Go on, go on. You’re definitely aware of the news about Chen Weiran being killed. Once you hear about it, just bring the remaining fifty thousand silver and come find me. I’m only letting you off without any documentation because you’re the president of the merchant guild. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, we would definitely require documentation."
"Hmm."
Yuchi nodded, then left the coffin shop.
Seeing Yuchi come out, Chen Weiran sighed in relief and then chuckled, "Chairman Yuchi, have you already decided on who to kill?"
"Yes."
Yuchi looked at Chen Weiran, "It’s already decided. The other party agreed, and we can completely resolve this within a month."
Chen Weiran immediately nodded. He was very curious about who Yuchi intended to kill, but was too embarrassed to ask directly. Fortunately, he didn’t ask, because it would have been quite awkward. So, the two of them limped away from there.
They walked far away.
After taking the money, the old man watched Yuchi and Chen Weiran leave, utterly speechless.
"First, Yuchi’s Immortal Robe Pavilion was massacred by our Cloud Descending Sect, so he should hold a grudge against us. But now, he’s come to kill Chen Weiran instead."
"Second, although Chen Weiran and Yuchi’s relationship is average, he still got swindled by Yuchi to come to me. And Chen Weiran doesn’t even know Yuchi wants to kill him, he’s blissfully unaware here."
The old man didn’t know how to comprehend this situation, but since Yuchi had already paid, he didn’t feel the need to pursue the matter further.
He was from the Cloud Descending Sect, which isn’t afraid of such odd individuals.
So killing was as killing does; it wasn’t their problem.
They were just responsible for the killing!
And of course, there’s a third point.
"Third, the old man didn’t know Yuchi’s plan, thinking he merely wanted to kill Chen Weiran, but actually, he intends to target his sect."
Alright then.
Everyone was utterly fooled by Yuchi.
...
Half an hour later, a letter flew up into the sky carried by a Yi’Er. After leaving Jiangzhou City, Yuchi had already appeared beside it.
Earlier, although Chen Weiran had tried to persuade Yuchi to stay for a meal, chat with some courtesans at a music parlor, and run a dungeon together, he directly declined. He didn’t have time for such things; he had other matters to attend to. So, after parting with Chen Weiran, he confidently showed up across from the old man. After the old man released a Yi’Er, he didn’t rush to kill the old man right away.
He first wanted to check the situation at the Cloud Descending Sect.
"The Cloud Descending Sect shouldn’t be far from Jiangzhou City, otherwise, they couldn’t have annihilated the Cloud Mountain Sect elders so quickly before. Looking purely at the cost, Chen Weiran’s price isn’t that high, just a hundred thousand silver, counting his position as Director of the Celestial Capital Department."
"So the Sect Leaders of these factions are probably priced similarly."
"Adding in some elders and Grand Elders, the previous affair with the Cloud Mountain Sect would altogether cost at most around two hundred thousand."
Taking off his shoes, Yuchi spread a gloomy mist as he followed the Yi’Er towards the direction of the Cloud Mountain Sect. This method of following the Yi’Er had been used once already on the Yatian Sect, and now it was going to be used on the Cloud Descending Sect. It was a tried and tested method.
Traveling such a long distance was inevitably boring, so Yuchi tried calling out to Yin Shuang.
"Shuang’Er, are you ready?"
"Shuang’Er, can you hear me?"
"Shuang’Er, I miss you so much, I want to talk to you. Can you hear my voice? If you can hear me, then please respond."
Holding the portrait card, Yuchi lamented sorrowfully. When he confirmed that Yin Shuang was still in the process of breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly, a grin slowly appeared on his face. He tucked the portrait card into his sleeve, then took out the Jiangzhou City Imperial Gazette from his Storage Ring, ignoring any news from Jiangzhou City.
He specifically focused on the leisure books at the back of the Jiangzhou City Imperial Gazette.
"Truly captivating!"
Yuchi, knowledgeable as always, skimmed through the contents at the back of the gazette. Since the content wasn’t suitable for children, he only read it secretly when Yin Shuang wasn’t around. Now was the opportunity to do so. This gazette was just bought from Jiangzhou City, the latest edition, complete with color illustrations.
Very lifelike.
Of course.
It’s not that Yuchi isn’t training; it’s just that the speed of training outside is too slow, an absolute waste of time.
Training within the sect gives at least a tenfold increase, not to mention the added motivation of training with other junior sisters and inhaling the air of Ascension Gate together; the feel of training is entirely different. But now, apart from the stench of foot odor, there’s not even a trace of fragrance.
The training speed is thus very slow. He still had to fly along with the Yi’Er, to pay attention to whether he had entered the territory of the Cloud Descending Sect. It wasn’t suitable for training.
Most importantly, he hadn’t read the Jiangzhou City Imperial Gazette in a long time.
