"People like Xun Yu are just a fart?" Yuchi secretly observed Zhou Xingcai’s expression as she spoke. This woman seemed somewhat anxious and a bit impatient, with a calmness in her eyes that was only so-so. Looks like the relationship between the Cloud Mountain Sect and the Defense Department is quite ordinary? Otherwise, why badmouth Xun Yu behind his back. Yet, the Defense Department serves the people and has no conflict of interest with the Cloud Mountain Sect, nor does it meddle in business. So why does Zhou Xingcai look down on Xun Yu? Yuchi had a feeling Xun Yu was taking the blame. "In my impression, Xun Yu just stays in the Defense Department every day, doesn’t step out of the door, doesn’t go beyond the second gate." Yuchi couldn’t fathom the logic, but he wasn’t in a position to voice his doubts directly now. Time to change the topic. "I don’t know what your intention is, I just want to survive." "Whatever you want me to do, you can just say it." "I will certainly comply with your demands." Inner peace, hands clutching the iron bars, Yuchi’s expression was that of a standard frightened young man. The performance was quite convincing. Zhou Xingcai’s eyes were even more disdainful, her eyes seemed to almost spell out "useless". "Eh, why was I interested in you that night? Your pretense is really strong." "I was completely deceived by you back then. As for what you need to do next, it’s very simple." "Just stay quietly in the prison until our Cloud Mountain Sect’s elders arrive in Jiangzhou City." Even after catching Yuchi, Zhou Xingcai couldn’t decide the next step. Yuchi’s fate depended on the elders. "Miss Zhou, can you plead for me? I really don’t know what’s going on." "Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it." She looked at the straw on Yuchi’s clothes with disdain, "Of course not." "We can’t compare with the elders; we all listen to the Cloud Mountain Sect’s arrangements." "We don’t need to handle your matters personally." "We just happened to receive news yesterday." "You just stay quietly in this cell and try to convince the elders when the time comes." After speaking, Zhou Xingcai coldly chuckled repeatedly, "Don’t worry, we won’t let you die in these two days." "If it’s cold tonight, I’ll send two sows to accompany you." "If you’re cold, you can hug these sows." The three of them laughed together. This woman was so damn harsh, a wicked fire slowly stirred within him, just wait, when I figure things out, I’ll deal with you. Can she not let you behave? Yuchi’s face showed grievance, his words sounded weary. He shifted the topic again, "Don’t you need me to transfer the guild?" "If you want me to transfer the guild, I can agree right now," Yuchi said, "It’s cold here, it’s dark here, I’m scared." Zhou Xingcai was momentarily stunned, then broke into a loud laugh. Her entire shoulders trembled, the white sweet potato she held shook, waves surged. "Why do you think you still have a choice now?" "Your response now doesn’t matter to us at all." "Is it really important if you hand over the guild’s authority?" Zhou Xingcai’s meaning was simple. She had already investigated the guild, and Yuchi was the one managing it. Even if she couldn’t figure out how this fool made the guild grow, it didn’t matter. After all, Yuchi was just a mortal now. Even a cultivator can’t escape from this prison without reaching the Qi Cultivation Realm. In this situation, they didn’t need to consider the guild much. Ultimately, Yuchi just needed to disappear. As long as Yuchi disappeared for a while and didn’t return to the guild, plus their sect’s secret meddling, the guild would surely perish. Whether the sect or Zhou Xingcai, they couldn’t overtly force Yuchi to transfer the guild, or wouldn’t others notice? If they really left any evidence, that would be troublesome. If the authorities sent people to investigate, it would be even more problematic. Authorities despised sects stirring troubles in the dark; even if a sect had influence in Jiangzhou City, they still needed to handle with care. "There are only two outcomes for you." "Either become a complete puppet of our sect, helping us earn money." "Or face a dead end." "And no matter the outcome, you can never obtain someone as exceptional as me." "I’m a woman you can never hope to reach, haha." Zhou Xingcai spoke proudly and arrogantly, displaying her large sweet potato, looking at Yuchi with a high chin. Damn she’s fierce... Yuchi appeared quite despairing, his mental defenses completely shattered. He collapsed onto the heap of straw. Staring up at the cobwebs in the cell, his words carried despair and a hint of pity. "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have come to Jiangzhou City." "I haven’t connected with any faction, and now I’m locked here." "If I could do it all over, I would never have come to Jiangzhou City." "Who can give me another chance?" Yuchi muttered to himself. Zhou Xingcai looked at Yuchi’s resigned posture on the ground. Her tone became increasingly mocking, unable to hold back, "You think that if you didn’t come to Jiangzhou City, you’d be safe and sound?" "What do you mean, Miss Zhou?" Yuchi was puzzled. "It’s simple, the Cloud Mountain Sect’s Brother Yun Chun already sent people to assassinate you, but you happened to leave Xufu Town." "Even if you hadn’t come to Jiangzhou City by chance, your people would’ve surely died in Xufu Town." "By now, do you really think families without any foundation could accomplish any business?" "You’re overthinking." Zhou Xingcai finished in one breath. After speaking, she felt a bit uncomfortable with the cold around her, thinking it was about time to wrap up the conversation. The main point was to mock this arrogant young man. As for saying anything more to him, she was too lazy to do so. Depending on the situation, if she could find another good young man tonight, see if she could enjoy the moon with someone else. Yuchi remained silent for a while. If Cloud Mountain Sect wanted to act quickly, they surely did. Within a few days, they had taken such measures, seemingly to make an example out of him. Many things become clear once you understand the pattern.
