When Yuchi first arrived in Jiangzhou City, it was daytime. He whispered with Xun Yu for a while during the day. The second day, he hosted some influential figures from Jiangzhou City. Now it’s the third day. The night of the third day. The night hung in the sky, and the sounds of people walking on the streets could still be heard at his ears. "Don’t these people ever sleep?" "And the two next door, can’t you wrap up your fencing practice?" "Can’t you let people sleep?" The thudding sound had quieted significantly. Yuchi settled in contentment. He leaned back against the head of the bed. He burped contentedly, looked up at a green plant on the edge of the inn’s wall, and began to reflect on his day’s activities in his mind. Yesterday at the Drunken Joy Tavern, he met with some influential figures from Jiangzhou City, and today he went to find people from the Celestial Capital Department. The people in the Celestial Capital Department are indeed domineering; they clearly believe they are the best among the Four Major Institutions. But they do have the right to be confident. Judging from the size of the residence, they’re truly not just big, no wonder they belong to the Celestial Capital Department. And the most powerful person in Jiangzhou City’s Celestial Capital Department is at the Core Formation Stage, though the specific level is unknown. The conversation with the people from the Celestial Capital Department today was quite unproductive. It was just about cooperating with each other, getting to know each other better. I suppose they still look down on me as the president from Xufu Town, considering everything to be a game. Couldn’t find a single good person, compared to them, Chen Guangsheng from Xufu Town is much better. At least Chen Guangsheng can speak a few heartfelt words with me. I wonder if Uncle Chen, knowing my thoughts, will feel somewhat relieved? Things can be seen from two sides. For me right now, it’s actually a good thing. Before things are done, try not to attract their attention. If they don’t care about me, then they don’t care about me; many things can’t be rushed and should be taken step by step until eventually they kneel before me. My efficiency is already quite high, let alone this journey to Jiangzhou City, even if I gain nothing in business, there is still Dongran. This girl’s Ninth-Grade Talent, just thinking about it is terrifying. Another thing happened today. I bought a little bracelet for Qingzhu, which I got from a ring-toss game on my way back in the afternoon. Spent more than twenty coins, pretty lucky, I think it looks quite nice, just don’t know if she likes it. Thinking about it, I don’t seem to have a habit of giving gifts. As for Xun Xian, she didn’t go with me to the Celestial Capital Department today; in her words, the Celestial Capital Department is simply too lazy to mess with their own kind. Aside from getting to know a few people at the Celestial Capital Department, it was basically unproductive. Fortunately, I remained relatively calm and didn’t grovel. Otherwise, not only would there be neglect, but later there would be disdain, which would be negative for the guild. "Ah, so tomorrow it is. Tomorrow I need to go talk with people from the Imperial Decree Department." "I reckon the visit to the Imperial Decree Department will be a pointless trip too." The fourth night in Jiangzhou City. Wei Qingzhu silently sat in the bathtub, her lashes moistened by the warm water, her black hair cascading down her fragrant shoulders like a waterfall. She gently scrubbed her silky skin with soapwort. Her determined brow slightly lifted, as steam rose from the bathtub and ripples gradually spread across the water’s surface. Her delicate forehead also dotted with beads of sweat, which she dabbed away with a silk cloth. She calmly gazed at three or two petals floating on the water’s surface, then glanced at Xun Xian who was proudly scattering flowers onto the water for her. "I can’t see her, I can’t see her." Wei Qingzhu kept saying to herself inwardly. Today I went to the Imperial Decree Department with Brother Yuchi. The Imperial Decree Department is still the one I remember, without any accomplishments. For Jiangzhou City, if it only relied on one Imperial Decree Department, it couldn’t remain peaceful for even a month. The Imperial Decree Department is filled with a strong bureaucratic air, where you can feel exaggerated flattery among them. I could sense that Brother Yuchi was having a hard time enduring it, and could only engage in some meaningless small talk with them. I know Brother Yuchi wants the guild to have more friends, but unless the Imperial Decree Department sees money, sees silver and gold, So after all today’s twists and turns, in the end, we just got to know people like the City Lord of Jiangzhou City. Besides that, there was no significance at all. For Jiangzhou City, towards Brother Yuchi who came from the town, they still hold a calm and proud attitude. Looking down into the clear water at her jade bracelet, a ripple of emotion appeared in Wei Qingzhu’s enchanting eyes. This ordinary jade bracelet is really quite beautiful, Brother Yuchi’s ring-toss skills are pretty good. I expressed my appreciation for the bracelet to Brother Yuchi today, and he even asked me a question, if I had ever heard of jade nurturing people. The rationale is very simple. If you want to do rough work, then you can’t wear this kind of easily breakable bracelet. Wearing such a bracelet is like putting on a shackle, making you subconsciously consider the bracelet’s safety when doing things. Over time, it will make a woman appear more graceful and gentle. Or have a calm and composed beauty. So, the notion of jade nurturing people exists, but it nurtures one’s character, like cultivating some Inner Strength. Regarding matters of Inner Strength, Brother Yuchi surely knows more than I do. "Qingzhu, you look nice, let’s go soak in the bath together some time." Xun Xian said enthusiastically. "Not going," Wei Qingzhu replied. The fifth night in Jiangzhou City. Xun Xian dragged Wei Qingzhu to the bathhouse to take a soak. Wei Qingzhu originally didn’t intend to go, but seeing her brother Yuchi nodding in approval, the three of them went to the bathhouse together. The bathhouse has separate sections for men and women, naturally making it a very safe place in Jiangzhou City. Yuchi spread his arms wide, soaking in the pool, feeling the warmth of the water envelop his body, his mood very relaxed. Xun Xian had no such shyness typical of girls, her muscles bounced as she held a coarse cloth, ready to scrub backs. She wanted to scrub Wei Qingzhu’s back... Wei Qingzhu didn’t want to, because previously Xun Xian had slandered her brother, but seeing the other’s smile... She thought about it, and felt grateful after all. Sitting with her knees hugged at the pool’s edge, her elegant figure, hair wet and down. The beauty of a maiden, enchanting... Xun Xian began her diligent scrubbing. A true professional craftsman! While washing Wei Qingzhu’s back, Xun Xian was also reflecting on the day’s happenings. Yesterday she was too lazy to dine at the Imperial Decree Department, but was very curious about the Demon-slaying Bureau. No idea if godfather has some grudge against the people at the Demon-slaying Bureau? Always feels like godfather doesn’t like those people. Interestingly, yesterday at the Demon-slaying Bureau they were served a few dishes related to mystical creatures. It seemed they served cooked demon meat? It seems like eating demon meat replenishes the internal energy loss. Perhaps experts all feed on mystical creatures? I’ve wondered if only the people at the Demon-slaying Bureau eat demon meat? No wonder they don’t just kill these creatures directly. But what would they do when they run out of mystical creatures to eat? But speaking of it, Yuchi didn’t eat a single bite of demon meat today. I guess maybe he feels that these demons grow up devouring the flesh of mortal bodies. Eating demon meat feels somewhat like eating human flesh; he’s that kind of person who really obeys the rules. And the other girls all love expensive bracelets. But she was clearly trying to hide her glee, the kind of expression which is impossible to suppress. She truly likes Brother Yuchi!
