Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 100 - 99: Affectionate Guard of the Third Son
Chapter 100: Chapter 99: Affectionate Guard of the Third Son
Yuchi was eating buns while chatting openly.
The young man, his expression calm, smiled with an honest demeanor.
"Nephew, after breakfast, our Demon-slaying Bureau must leave this place. I don’t know when we will meet again."
Yuan Wansong seemed a bit sorrowful.
Yuchi couldn’t be sure if Yuan Wansong was genuine or not.
With a smile, Yuchi handed this Uncle Yuan a meat bun, "The green mountains remain; the waters flow long. We will meet again."
"Uncle Yuan, take care on your journey."
"If you encounter any troublesome matters in the future, you can come to me."
"Although what I can do is limited, I will still offer my help."
Yuchi’s words were very comforting.
Even though Yuan Wansong knew that Yuchi was just making casual conversation, not to be taken seriously,
he still felt a bit relieved in his heart.
"Likewise, nephew, if you need anything from our Demon-slaying Bureau, just come to Jiangzhou City."
"Ask around in Jiangzhou City, and you’ll definitely be able to contact us."
"At that time, with just one word from you, our Demon-slaying Bureau will certainly come to help."
Laughing, Yuchi understood that Yuan Wansong was also just being polite, but sometimes polite words serve as good opportunities.
Naturally, Yuan Wansong also took out a token from his sleeve.
The Celestial Capital Department’s token was a Familiar Copper Mask.
The Demon-slaying Bureau’s was a piece of bone, strung together with a red string, a bone from a demon.
"I will." Yuchi accepted with a grateful smile.
Chen Guangsheng looked resentfully at Yuchi and Yuan Wansong exchanging glances. freeweɓnøvel~com
So love can fade, right?
Of course, he understood that the relationship between Yuchi and Yuan Wansong was similar to his with Yuchi.
But the relaxed manner in which Yuchi spoke with Yuan Wansong made him somewhat displeased.
"Those Demon-slaying Bureau scoundrels, who knows what goes on in their heads."
"So peculiar, using bones as tokens."
"I ought to smash your bones!"
Chen Guangsheng muttered to himself.
After finishing breakfast, Yuchi saw off the Demon-slaying Bureau members.
Standing at the exit of Xufu Town, beside a small temple, amidst the astonishment of a Daoist, Yuchi wiped his tears.
He looked as if he was very reluctant to part.
"What a sentimental and righteous Yuchi, the President."
"Sanlang is noble!"
The Daoists lamented.
After people either rode on horseback or left quickly, Yuchi’s gaze gradually calmed down.
He was somewhat puzzled.
"Have those white mice not been eradicated yet?"
Yuchi sensed this.
In the past, when his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Realm, he didn’t have such strong perception.
But now, being at the first stage of the Core Formation Stage, his perceptive abilities had vastly improved.
Previously, he wouldn’t have felt it, but now he could clearly sense the Demon-slaying Bureau’s samurai carrying small prisons.
These tightly secured cages held the hundreds of white mice, the culprits of the demonic plague.
"I thought these white mice would be killed outright."
"Now it seems that instead of killing the source of the plague, it has been taken away?"
"...Yes, that’s it."
"Going back, they still need to claim credit?"
"The higher-ups at the Demon-slaying Bureau need to see these demons to draw conclusions."
Yuchi remembered and was actually quite grateful to the Demon-slaying Bureau members.
Given the current situation, even though the Four Major Institutions have their back-and-forths, with many unresolved issues,
overall, the situation remains stable.
"Firstly, the advisors from the Imperial Decree Department and the County Magistrate aren’t completely blind; they helped me connect with the Defense Department."
"Secondly, the Defense Department even sent Xun Xian to protect me, which is reasonable."
"Thirdly, the Celestial Capital Department didn’t ask for a sky-high price; ten thousand taels of silver to protect a town like Xufu Town."
"Fourthly, the Demon-slaying Bureau charged twenty thousand for a large-scale array to exterminate demons, also reasonable."
It’s quite good.
There is some greed, but at least they aren’t going overboard.
He laughed again, "When did my expectations from them become so low?"
Returning to the yamen, after a simple greeting with Chen Guangsheng, he intended to go to the guild to review various documents.
However, he was stopped by Chen Guangsheng.
"Nephew, wait a moment, I have something for you," Chen Guangsheng smiled, gesturing for Yuchi to come over.
"Uncle Chen?" Yuchi curiously walked over with a shy smile, "Is there any instruction?"
"It’s like this. From the perspective of a pure elder, unrelated to the grudges between the Demon-slaying Bureau and the Celestial Capital Department,"
"I think you should not get too close to the Demon-slaying Bureau people, especially those with outstanding achievements."
"Be careful not to get burned, ending up in a situation where you don’t belong anywhere."
Chen Guangsheng spoke earnestly.
"He’s not lying? This kind of expression can be felt, he’s talking to me with the authority of an elder?" Yuchi was surprised.
But why say this?
What’s going on? Could it be that he’s grateful I paid off his brothel debt?
No way.
How odd!
"Uncle Chen, I am ignorant, what do you mean?" Yuchi asked further.
After asking, Yuchi felt like bowing to Chen Guangsheng.
Just don’t act like a riddler; that’s really infuriating.
Especially when you’ve said you speak as an elder, then don’t speak in riddles.
If it’s good, say it’s good; if it’s bad, say it’s bad.
Don’t speak in a confusing manner, leaving people scratching their heads trying to guess behind your back.
Chen Guangsheng signaled for Yuchi to follow him.
Yuchi complied.
The two of them went to a quiet place in the yamen, ensuring no one was around, Chen Guangsheng finally spoke.
He first asked, "Nephew, what do you think of the Demon-slaying Bureau people?"
The questions came step by step.
No need to rush.
"Chi’Er will not deceive Uncle Chen, as it stands, the Demon-slaying Bureau people are very trustworthy," Yuchi replied.
He silently added in his heart, "Previously, the fierce woman Xun Xian also said, the Demon-slaying Bureau are people who cherish loyalty and righteousness."
"Even if there’s an error, even if there’s a sense of poisonous milk in it, keeping their promise shouldn’t be a problem."
"They get the job done once they’re paid."
"They won’t procrastinate."
Chen Guangsheng nodded slowly.
He then posed the second question, dressed in the luxurious attire of the Celestial Capital Department, and said, "What do you think of Yuan Wansong?"
Yuan Wansong ah.
"Uncle Yuan is very capable," Yuchi said sincerely.
Truthfully, Yuchi felt these people were impressive, with an aura of forlorn samurai.
Traveling around to exterminate demons, such things were quite rare.
It had a sense of chivalry wandering.
"Good."
Without anger in his heart, Chen Guangsheng directly stated, "The third question, what do you think the Demon-slaying Bureau does?"
"Exterminate demons," Yuchi said without hesitation.
"Yes, you are right."
Chen Guangsheng said, "The Demon-slaying Bureau finds demons, exterminates them, and obtains achievements. This is logical, correct?"
Yuchi nodded, "Correct."
Chen Guangsheng said, "So is it possible that the Demon-slaying Bureau releases demons themselves, then exterminates them, does this make sense?"
Instantly, his brows furrowed, Yuchi’s pupils suddenly enlarged.
He instantly grasped Chen Guangsheng’s meaning.
"...Uncle Chen means that the demons may not be just demonic machinations, but possibly backed by the Demon-slaying Bureau people!?"
Yuchi asked directly.
Beating around the bush would be counterproductive, speaking openly with someone like Chen Guangsheng was necessary at this moment.
But such a notion seemed too exaggerated!
This was just outrageous, wasn’t it?
