Chapter 1329 - 358: This Disciple Is Quite Fierce
Inside the meeting hall of the Jiangnan Yamen, there was still that government official, who directly handled the reception of the City Lord and a group of people. Hasn’t it only been a month? After a month, have these people come again? Could it be because the meals in our Yamen are really delicious? Or is it that they still want to eat dumplings... It’s truly baffling. The key point is, come if you must, but this time they’ve brought a bunch of inexplicable people along.
The government official didn’t recognize the group from the Star Observatory. He didn’t think much of them; he just felt they were really noisy, having no sense of decorum. Anyway, they just barged into someone else’s city, spouted nonsense, and after they’re done talking, they still want to have a meal in their canteen. He thought he definitely could not have such a thick skin.
"We need to find Yuchi. Now hurry up and get Yuchi over here; we have something very important to discuss with him." This time, it wasn’t the leading City Lord speaking, but a Sect Leader who spoke coldly. He found Jiangnan very displeasing, after all, Jiangnan is doing so well now, yet you can’t even spare a little money? So stingy?
The government official was quite surprised. He looked at the crowd before him, wearing a peculiar expression as he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait here for a moment. President Yu is right here in our Yamen; within no more than a cup of tea’s time, you will see President Yu."
After saying this, he temporarily ignored them and turned to leave the meeting hall. As the government official said, Yuchi was indeed in the Yamen. The reason was quite simple: after the City Lord and others left before, Yuchi estimated their movement speed, so he stopped to cultivate yesterday and came here to wait in Jiangnan.
The government official had also encountered Yuchi before. As a member of Jiangnan, he had great respect for the young man before him and greeted him proactively. Yuchi, in turn, smiled and chatted with him briefly. When the government official asked why Yuchi appeared in the Yamen amidst his busy schedule, Yuchi’s answer was straightforward.
He said a group of people would come to find him in the next couple of days. To prevent the Yamen from having to specially find his location, and to avoid the Yamen falling into chaos because of these people, he waited right here in the Yamen for two days.
Initially, the government official didn’t quite understand, as the City Lord and others had just left, and the Yamen should be very quiet for a short while, at least not messy. But after seeing these people today, he truly admired him. So President Yu actually has foresight? Can he foresee this? Indeed, people came to find him!
"President Yu remains President Yu, worthy of being the Honorary President of our Jiangnan United Commerce Association. Even though Mr. Wei Zhe is handling the association matters now, President always steps up at critical moments, truly a reliable person!" Satisfied, the government official went to find Yuchi. As for these aggressive people, if there’s any worry, it’s as if he admitted failure.
In the meeting hall, while the Sect Leader and others were having tea, no one spoke. The necessary words were already spoken on their way here. When the time comes, as long as everyone acts out the scene, then even Yuchi cannot withstand, and they can get enough gold and silver, hahaha.

As expected, the government official wasn’t lying. They didn’t even wait a cup of tea’s time before Yuchi arrived, with a cheerful demeanor, looking every bit the good man. Upon seeing everyone’s expressions, he wasn’t the least bit surprised. After all, he’d seen such things too many times. Did the City Lord come here alone before? Impossible, surely pushed out by the forces behind the scenes.
"Greetings, seniors from the Star Observatory," Yuchi smiled and bowed. Entering the meeting hall calmly, beneath the others’ cold stares, he exuded a brightness like a little flower in the night, not at all acknowledging the coldness around him, maintaining an utterly tranquil mindset.
This smile of his fell upon everyone’s eyes, especially the leading City Lord. The City Lord felt very awkward since he had promised Yuchi before not to cause trouble again, to cooperate with the next steps in Jiangnan. But only a month after returning to the city, without even a day or two’s rest, he was here again.
As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. Yuchi’s calm demeanor made the group unsure of what to say. But when it comes to money, there’s no compromise. Even if Yuchi has such a simple smile, it’s of no use!
