CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 211: CLUES ARE NOT VERY USEFUL! LEAVING IN 3 DAYS!_3

The military advisor couldn’t help but start speculating, and he firmly believed his guesses were reasonable: I’ve heard that there are some old masters in the Stargazing Tower, and these old masters are incredibly powerful. Almost half the people in the Stargazing Tower were taught by them, these old immortals, their strength is quite terrifying.

So, isn’t it possible that Yuchi is just such an existence!?

The more he thought about it, the more he believed it. The military advisor and the City Lord were somewhat relieved—they were fortunate to have treated Yuchi with great respect when he arrived, leaving almost no room for criticism. Otherwise, if they had acted all high and mighty in front of Mr. Yuchi and treated him like Song Yinghan, the consequences could have been quite frightening.

If Mr. Yuchi had called for backup, there might have been many of his students in Canglan City. If a few carriages worth of people had shown up, the Imperial Decree Department could have exploded instantly, and they would never be able to flaunt their authority again.

Yuchi exclaimed, "You’re bullshitting even better than me."

...

Yuchi left the prison, while Jia Yun was grumbling, indeed he was grumbling.

"Old salty fish, how can you not know this with just this little bit of clue?"

"If you can do it, go ahead!"

After Yuchi left, Jia Yun looked at the teapot in his hand, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"He’s really not from the Celestial Capital Department, huh."

"Then whose side is he on?"

"How did he end up in our Canglan City?"

Leaving the prison, Yuchi was momentarily stunned. When he entered the prison, the ground had just a small amount of snow, but upon exiting, the heavy snow was falling as if it cost nothing.

There was an instant feeling of being moved.

A moment that felt eternal, as if he saw himself back in his school days, where he was attending class attentively and then, inadvertently, glanced out the window to find the entire campus thoroughly covered in snow, with huge flakes swirling wildly.

This was truly moving.

How many years had it been since he felt this sense of being moved, gradually married, and when he saw such heavy snow again, it was nothing but annoyance. The snow would make the house dirty and leave people shivering. It was as if he could no longer see his childhood.

"Luckily, the beautiful Song is still waiting for me... But what’s up with them, standing like pine trees in the courtyard in such heavy snow, don’t they know to find shelter?"

In the center of the courtyard stood none other than Song Yinghan and Song Qingshan. Close to the edge of the courtyard stood the City Lord and the military advisor, along with others standing in the snow, all acting as though they couldn’t see the corridors leading into the courtyard.

Probably because the people from the Stargazing Tower were standing in the heavy snow, the Imperial Decree Department folks were too polite to disturb them, but they also didn’t dare to hide from the snowstorm, so they all just waited there for honest old Yuchi to come out.

Did I, Yuchi, suddenly feel like an emperor?

Smiling, Yuchi walked over to Song Yinghan’s side, first bowing to Song Qingshan, "Senior, we can leave now."

Then he started to brush the snow off Song Yinghan’s shoulders, appearing very caring, causing Song Qingshan to roll his eyes. "Boy, I’m still here and you’re already touching my daughter all over. Be careful, or I’ll chop off your pig hands."

"Finally, we’re out," Song Yinghan said with a smile, "Shall we go?"

"Yes, let’s discuss it more once we’re outside."

As they approached the military advisor and the City Lord, Yuchi also bowed, "Thank you for all your hard work."

The two were a bit flustered, "It’s no trouble, Happy New Year to you, may your good fortune be as vast as the East Sea and your life as enduring as the Southern Mountains."

Song Qingshan: "..."

Song Qingshan, the Tianjian of the Stargazing Tower, didn’t even receive such flattery, and yet this kid qualified for it? Also, couldn’t they see me, the Tianjian, a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, with a golden Inner Core in me that he doesn’t have?

Everyone then turned to Yuchi, "Have a safe journey, do come by often."

Yuchi smiled, "Sure."

Song Qingshan: "..."

...

Leaving the Imperial Decree Department, there was no need to continue walking in the snow. They found a bustling inn along the street, rented a private room, and once the door was shut, Song Yinghan thoughtfully conjured a barrier so they wouldn’t have to speak amidst the noise.

Is this active noise cancellation? Yuchi flipped open a teacup, stood up, and poured a cup of tea for the clearly displeased Song Qingshan, then sat down with a smile in the face of the other’s cold snort, "I’ve already understood the issue on Jia Yun’s side."

"Here’s what happened."

The tea’s warmth radiated in the cold winter, waves of steam rising between the three of them.

Jia Yun was originally a prominent figure in the Demon-slaying Bureau, and without this incident, he might have been on his way to becoming a deputy. But this time, he received a letter.

The letter clearly demanded that Jia Yun get close to Ling Huzhong and assassinate him; if he didn’t comply, his entire family would be killed.

Initially, Jia Yun didn’t believe it, casually tossing the letter aside. He, being from the Demon-slaying Bureau, really didn’t want to cross the Celestial Capital Department. But upon returning to his family and finding everyone important missing, he realized it wasn’t a joke.
