Chapter 1337 - 359: Yuan Xuan: I Really Appreciate You_4
"Yuan Xuan!"
"Yes."
"Yuan Xuan!"
"Why did she suddenly shatter the Jade Token?"
Yuchi was curious, very curious, but he felt he should go and see for himself.
After all, back in the day, others had given him quite a bit of wealth, so when those people needed help, he felt he should lend a hand. At least, he wouldn’t make any grand promises at first; instead, he’d go have a look. There shouldn’t be any major danger inside Inch Tea City, so he’d first observe from the sidelines to understand the problem. If there were no dangers, he’d then ask what kind of assistance they needed.
"There’s no way I could really convince Yuan Xuan to join my sect, right?"
"That would be too exaggerated."
"Words become reality, huh."
Yuchi didn’t believe it.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, are you leaving now?"
"Yes."
"What are you going out to do? Are those people bothering you again? If they’re bothering you, just tell us that your identity doesn’t easily allow you to teach them the realities of life, and we can help. We’ll gladly step in for free."
This came from the beautiful lady of the sect, and after she spoke, all the disciples looked at Yuchi with a fiercely supportive expression.
Apparently, the whole Ascension Gate already knew about the situation. They were very angry, really annoyed! Right now, it truly was Yuchi holding them back, preventing them from causing chaos. Otherwise, with their current tempers, they were ready to tear apart the Star Watching Platform, to show the Sect Leaders of the Star Watching Platform what it meant for people to experience the joys and sorrows, the partings and reunions, the changing phases of the moon.
Yuchi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "No worries, these are just small matters. I’ll handle it myself. You all continue eating here. When it’s New Year’s time, I’ll definitely bring back lots of delicious things for us to have a good reunion. Although this year has been a bit rushed, we’ve accomplished a lot, and our Ascension Gate’s spiritual qi levels are now at quite a satisfactory level."
After he finished speaking, the other disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It’s good it’s not them."
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, if you’re ever wronged, make sure to tell us, okay?"
"We’ll have your back."
"Of course, if you want us in front of you, we can do that too. It all depends on where you want us to stand."
Yuchi: No, no, standing is tiring, just sitting is fine.
Then, amidst the disciples’ puzzled expressions, feeling something was off, he had already disappeared from the Ascension Gate.
...
Yuchi returned to Inch Tea City once again. He couldn’t recall the last time he was here, but since Yuan Xuan invited him this time, he felt quite at ease. Besides trying to resolve this matter, he planned to buy some inch tea before leaving the city, as it was really delicious and both he and the disciples loved it.
Of course, it wasn’t just that. Since he was here, he also planned to visit Bu Tingyue. She was quite impressive, taking up the responsibilities for her sister without her knowing. Such things weren’t something the average girl could accomplish.
"So, that’s settled then. The main purpose of this trip to Inch Tea City is for these two matters. Once they’re resolved, it’ll probably be around New Year’s."
Humming a tune, Yuchi found an inn.
This inn was the place where he’d met Yuan Xuan before. In the words of a comic, this shouldn’t be a place of encounter but a place where our bonds began to form.
"Kuisheng is still as courteous as ever."
"Well then, just wait here."
"I’ll wait right here, as per the agreement, she will come find me here."
At that moment, a Kuisheng approached. "Would you like some tea, patron?"
Yuchi smiled and waved his hand, "No thanks, I’m waiting for someone."
Having a rare chance to meet Yuan Xuan, he had to leave a good impression. He chose to stay put instead of wandering around. He planned to earnestly consider if there was anything she needed help with; once this matter was dealt with, he still had many tasks to handle.
At this moment, Yuan Xuan was on her way, practicing sword control in midair.
She felt flustered.
Her long hair fluttered, complementing her elegant gold-embroidered dress. She was indeed worthy of the phrase, "The belt broadens and the spirit wearies," though at the moment, not being among friends, her expression was rather serious, embodying the classic look of an ice beauty.
Perhaps it wasn’t just an ice beauty’s look but rather typical of someone at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Truly, if she smiled in front of others, she’d be told she lacked the demeanor of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If she didn’t smile, people would say she was distant. No matter what, once someone reached a certain level, all sorts of comments would come their way. As the saying goes, people fear fame just like pigs fear becoming fat.
