The current situation involves these two matters, which should yield clear and definite results. Yuchi’s thinking is quite straightforward. Since Ling Huzhong can investigate the records, leading the third person to mistakenly believe he knows the truth, then he and Song Yinghan can recreate this occurrence. As for what clues might be uncovered, everything is still unclear. Song Yinghan: "Then what are we waiting for, let’s hurry." Yuchi chuckled, drank a cup of tea, and with a "pop" sound, he proactively picked up the White Fox Mask and placed it on the beautiful maiden’s cheek. "Don’t let others see your shyness, or I might get jealous." "Hmph..." Song Yinghan felt slightly pained and could only pout. She indeed found it impossible to be strong in front of this young man, completely led by the nose. The key was no matter how he bullied her, she didn’t feel any repulsion: Song Yinghan, Song Yinghan, what’s wrong with you, you’ll be laughed at if you tell this to others. Unlike the Ziyue Star Pavilion which is a half-hour journey from the inn and the Celestial Capital Department, the Imperial Decree Department is slightly farther, requiring quite a bit of walking to reach. The two took a carriage and finally arrived at the street where the Imperial Decree Department is located, not far ahead. But just as Yuchi got off the carriage, he saw a group of people gathered nearby. "That’s a bustling street, with lots of quirky little things inside," Song Yinghan explained. "Is it? What are they looking at? They seem surprised," Yuchi was quite curious. "Let’s go take a look." Song Yinghan glanced from afar at the closed main gate of the Imperial Decree Department. It was noon, and the department was closed for business, reopening in the latter half of the afternoon. Although she could force her way in now, the person responsible for records hadn’t arrived, making it impossible to find them. Might as well stroll with Yuchi beside the Imperial Decree Department, it’ll take just a little less than half an hour for it to open. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 "If the world were ending, I wonder if the Imperial Decree Department would still rest this long at noon," Song Yinghan remarked. "Haha, such things are minor, if it’s just a noon break it’s fine, but fearing they still won’t be satisfied after resting." Yuchi headed towards the crowd, and after some effort, he took Song Yinghan into the midst of it. Yuchi’s eyes seemed like they would pop out of their sockets. "Damn!" He couldn’t help but swear, looking at the four before him. Aren’t these the four disciples of our Ascension Gate?! Qinghan was earnestly speaking behind a wooden table. Feiling stood beside Qinghan, complementing her words, introducing something to the passersby. Huo Shanlan stood calmly behind the two, her stunning face also showing a hint of serenity. As for Feng Dongran, she was quietly wiping items on the little wooden table with a cloth. Ears perked up, listening closely. "Ladies and gentlemen, fellow townspeople, I’ve already repeated it twice, now once more." "We are disciples of the sect, coming to this bustling street to sell a few treasures we hold, and the price is negotiable. I believe these treasures can be crucial at key moments, so if you’re interested, feel free to inquire!" No way, are our four disciples so impoverished they’re selling such things? And what’s with this table full of miscellaneous stuff, colorful herbs, and weird stones; from any angle, this is truly pitiful. Song Yinghan stood beside Yuchi, ignoring the others for now, her gaze immediately fell on Huo Shanlan’s face, gasping inwardly, "This girl is so beautiful." Song Yinghan thought her own face was quite good-looking, having many admirers in the past, but compared to the petite girl before her, it was no match! Her flawless face paired with the serene aura of a cultivator suggested her sect must be extraordinarily noble, incapable of cultivating such a pure disciple otherwise! But Song Yinghan wasn’t completely deflated. After estimating the height and figure difference between herself and Huo Shanlan, she felt pleased: "Heaven closed a door for her but opened a window for me. Although my beauty can’t compare to hers, her figure can’t rival mine, there’s always gain and loss, so what did Yuchi see in me?" Thinking this, Song Yinghan inadvertently looked at Yuchi beside her, and seeing his stunned gaze, she was about to mock him for being easily swayed, but upon closer inspection, realized he was simply shocked.
