CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 162: THIS TRIP IS NOT A LOSS_2

But now, it’s all because of Yuchi that she’s become like this!

Yuchi will definitely find a chance to kill.

Even if I find someone to help, if he’s not killed, how can I possibly dispel the resentment in my heart!

In the end, she was overthinking.

Chen Weiran tilted his head, looked at her, and amidst her excited smile, he expressionlessly snapped his fingers.

A sharp burst of Spiritual Qi erupted from her body.

A mass of flesh splattered, only to be instantly captured.

The body vanished into ashes in Chen Weiran’s indifferent gaze.

"I don’t know what you’re happy about. You have no value left, why should I keep you?"

A brief moment.

Chen Weiran looked at another person who walked in and calmly said, "From now on, you control the Zhou Family. You know what to do?"

The person hurriedly nodded, "Master, I’ll follow your orders completely!"

...

Celestial Capital Department.

Yuan Tiangang and Chen Weiran had already met.

The two were now celebrating, toasting to their survival from disaster.

"Yuchi planned everything but never calculated how decisive we are."

"Now Cloud Mountain Sect is gone, and the informed members of the Zhou Family are also gone."

"Xun Yu from the Defense Department will certainly not reveal the matter; everything is under our control."

"Does Yuchi want to pull us down from our positions?"

"How is that possible!"

After all, the people from the Star Observing Platform are still young, compared to us officials in Jiangzhou City, they’re too inexperienced.

Trying to investigate us.

Overthinking.

Haha.

...

The sky gradually darkened.

Yuchi and Xun Yu chatted briefly, just telling Xun Yu about the demon situation.

Xun Yu maintained his overall composure, still with a smiling chubby face.

If you didn’t know the true situation, you couldn’t imagine he was actually a demon.

The two conversed casually, discussing relationships among officials and recent weather in Jiangzhou City, without touching on significant matters.

Later, Yuchi and Xun Xian left the Defense Department together.

Yuchi looked quite pleased, even humming small tunes while walking.

Xun Xian asked why he was so happy, he simply said the weather was great today.

Xun Xian didn’t believe him.

However, seeing Yuchi so cheerful meant there probably weren’t any demons among the officials, so just wait and see tomorrow!

...

Upon returning to the inn, it turned out the others hadn’t returned yet either, so Yuchi went to his own bedroom alone.

Having not rested for several days, he happened to buy some roasted meat from the roadside, and ate facing the window by himself.

His eyes looked out at the sky, which had held rain for days, finally releasing it.

He needed to quickly seize this rainy moment.

At least Song Yinghan hadn’t brought an umbrella, hoping for more rain.

That way, maybe he could see her exquisite figure.

Hehe.

The rain darkened the eaves, and Jiangzhou City’s hustle quieted for a while; truly a fine autumn day.

Later, an idle voice came from Yuchi’s mouth:

"I give them a day; they should straighten everything out, right?"

Eating roasted meat, looking at the fluffy drizzle falling from the overcast sky, the air was very clear.

And inside the room, a meaningful smile gradually appeared on Yuchi’s handsome face.

This expression was quite complex, yet particularly cheerful.

Reflecting on the whole situation, there were actually several phases for Yuchi.

The first phase, when he just arrived in Jiangzhou City, he wanted to cultivate some personal relations for the sake of the commerce guild’s development.

The second phase, when he was detained by the Zhou Family, aiming to see who was behind the Zhou Family and what private connections they held.

The third phase, he suddenly discovered that Xun Yu might be a demon.

When things reached the third phase, Yuchi realized that he couldn’t carry the burden alone.

There was no one around to fully trust.

"So I can’t act as if I want to pacify the world at this time; the commerce guild doesn’t have that power."

"I have many people behind me who need protection."

"If you push the other side into a corner, they’ll retaliate, and if my family in Xufu Town gets exterminated, what should I do?"

Thus at this phase, Yuchi had already made a decision.

"This matter needs to be handled, but discreetly."

"Give the other side room for survival, which is to give them a chance to resolve it."

"Blind enthusiasm leads to death."

More smiles appeared on Yuchi’s face.

The meat tasted quite good in his mouth.

Reaching the fourth phase, which was when he gave Chen Weiran a day’s time:

This day’s time, ostensibly to let him find the missing Yuchi, was actually just space for manipulation.

Kill those who must be killed, eliminate hostile rivals promptly.

Indeed, Yuchi had no malintent, just straightforward and simple borrowing others to kill.

From possible desperate retaliation to now borrowing others to kill, Yuchi just needed a single day for them.

Otherwise, Yuchi could have immediately demanded for the Demon-Revealing Array.

Yet it wasn’t necessary.

"Officials protect each other. As far as I’m concerned, I can’t eliminate them completely."

"By leveraging their hands, Cloud Mountain Sect is probably finished."
