CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 213: THE FURIOUS FATHER-IN-LAW! THE TERRIFYING SACRIFICIAL ARRAY!

After Xu Rufeng understood the whole story, he regrettably patted his forehead and said apologetically to Yuchi:

"Young Master Yuchi, I really must apologize, it was foolish of me. I should have thought about this matter logically."

"As someone capable of advancing such matters in an orderly fashion, how could you possibly look down on our Celestial Craft Workshop? Or perhaps not just our workshop, you’re simply not that kind of arrogant person."

"But previously I thought you found us at the Celestial Craft Workshop incapable of helping, that’s why you didn’t come to us."

Truly an honest person, one who knows how to speak, indeed proactively admitting error... Yuchi stood up to pour tea for the other party, smiling as he spoke:

"It doesn’t have to be this complicated, Young Master Xu. Naturally, there’s no need for such. As one of the Workshop Masters of the Celestial Craft Workshop, there’s still much I need to learn from you."

"As for this matter itself, it seems that both of us already know the situation. So with such an opportunity, I wonder how Young Master Xu views this matter?"

Yuchi now holds the Celestial Craft Workshop in high regard. To have reached such a high realm, truly those in the workshop aren’t fools but those who understand reason. Isn’t that so? Others obviously felt a bit neglected, yet they did not come demanding an explanation, instead openly stating they could help.

As for that beautiful Song... Yuchi felt that Song Yinghan might be having a hard time now, but at this moment he couldn’t lend a hand.

First, he was about to leave Canglan City, and once he left, there would be numerous trivial matters around him. He couldn’t just run around everywhere.

Secondly, Song Qingshan was by her side. If he intervened now, it would create a rift between father and daughter. Wouldn’t this force the beautiful Song to make a choice, similar to Song Qingshan? Choose me, or choose "it"... There’s really no need for that.

So let’s see if the Celestial Craft Workshop can help. With so many talented individuals, they surely know better than I who the key figures in Canglan City are. As long as they act, the matter is sure to find some resolution.

Xu Rufeng understood Yuchi’s meaning, grateful for the tea being poured, deep in thought for a moment before saying:

"Firstly, as a member of Canglan City, our Celestial Craft Workshop has no reason to stand by idly. Therefore, at such a crucial moment, we cannot refrain from helping."

"Secondly, our initial intention was to collaborate with young master, to see your ideas and offer our assistance. However, given the current situation, it seems we cannot execute that plan. Since Young Master Yuchi is already stepping away from this incident, it puts us in a difficult position."

Xu Rufeng truly wanted to help, and the motivation was straightforward.

As stated by Xu Rufeng, being a part of Canglan City, if any issues arise here, the Celestial Craft Workshop cannot be spared. Furthermore, the workshop, recognized as a standard bearer of the Third Province’s magical treasures, inherently has a sense of responsibility.

A faction without responsibility won’t go far.

Therefore, whether from a standpoint of pure interest or sentiment, the Celestial Craft Workshop cannot afford to look away.

Yet, as Xu Rufeng mentioned, they wish to help but aren’t sure how, given that Yuchi and the Celestial Capital Department have now separated, and anyone from Canglan City understands the department’s airs. They are a conceited bunch; expecting them to cooperate calmly with an investigation is almost impossible.

The Celestial Craft Workshop certainly didn’t think themselves inferior to the Celestial Capital Department and wanted to conduct an investigation within a stable collaborative relationship, which appears simple but is quite complex.

Lacking a mediator who can stabilize the situation.

This mediator should have been Yuchi.

"I think you could carry out your investigation first; at this point it’s best to clarify matters before discussing specific partnerships."

Right now, there truly is no other way. Any sensible person knows that cooperation between the Celestial Craft Workshop and the Celestial Capital Department would be ideal, but in this world, two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain. Without the Mountain God to suppress them, the tigers inevitably clash.

So it might be better for the Celestial Craft Workshop to conduct a preliminary investigation. While the city’s workshop may just be a glimpse, they have their heritage. If truly needed, they could contact higher authorities to assist.

In the end, the matter isn’t overly significant.

Xu Rufeng nodded and asked, "So, Young Master Yuchi, what do you think the perpetrator intends to achieve?"

In Xu Rufeng’s view, the culprit behind the Canglan City incident isn’t an ordinary person. Their actions convey some intent, and understanding this intent might solve the case.
