Chapter 1326 - 357: Sis, Please Don’t Speak, I’m Scared_4
Sect rules... How would I know what the sect rules are? I just make things up on the spot. Whatever, I just blurt it out without thinking, my mouth moves faster than my brain... Yuchi chuckled, but he thought for a moment and then said to Qin Miaoyu in a somewhat formal manner, "The rule of our sect is that disciples are prohibited from participating in dual cultivation with cultivators outside our sect."
Qin Miaoyu’s face instantly turned red, looking at Yuchi with disbelief as he spoke so earnestly. "Wow, no wonder Sect Leader Senior Brother is so nice to us, he had such thoughts all along! He even prohibits dual cultivation with disciples outside the sect, but the key point is, where would you find a male in our Ascension Gate? Even butterflies by the roadside are all female! You’re such an old perv! I’m not talking to you anymore, hmph!!!"
With that, Qin Miaoyu swung her arms and happily left... Meanwhile, Yuchi watched her leave with a smile and couldn’t help but nod and say, "It seems the food at Ascension Gate isn’t too bad. Miaoyu is really growing up quite well, truly impressive..."

Laughing, he didn’t take the matter to heart and went back to the straw hut on the mountain top to lie down and cultivate. At this stage, the most important thing was to cultivate earnestly. Anyway, he’d pop back to Jiangnan every few days. On one hand, to handle Jiangnan’s affairs, and on the other, to crucially improve his own cultivation level, as a mere Spirit Storage Stage was a bit insignificant.
As for this cultivation, why use restraint when it’s like a joke from a past life... Like slamming the pedal in an old car until the gas tank swirls and you hear the water buffalo sound, definitely needing to turn off the engine while refueling or else the tank wouldn’t fill...
Speaking of jokes, now even Yuchi’s cultivation was reaching this exaggerated level, with a small vortex forming above the straw hut, the spiritual qi violently washing over his body, making his progress terrifying! While the disciples down at the mountainside, who were impressed by Ascension Gate’s awe, also noticed the anomaly on the peak. Apart from shock, their expressions were filled with deep respect—our Sect Leader Senior Brother is indeed astonishingly powerful.
...
While the power and population in Jiangnan were rapidly increasing, things were different on the other side. After leaving Jiangnan and returning to his city, the City Lord was immediately called over by big shots from the Celestial Capital Department. As of now, he was there, facing a conference room lined with Sect Leaders from the Astronomical Platform.
One of the big shots, looking at the City Lord in front of him, had already begun to question with curiosity, "So after you went to Jiangnan this time, how did it go over there? Did President Yuchi from the Jiangnan United Commerce Association come up with any specific solutions?"
Once he posed the question, the other leaders also looked earnestly at the City Lord. The journey to Jiangnan was not just for the City Lord alone; it was also their private request. After all, they couldn’t lower themselves to visit Yuchi personally, so they let the City Lord do it on their behalf, mainly to see Yuchi’s stance.
Upon hearing the leader’s question, the City Lord timidly replied, "Yuchi didn’t elaborate on any solutions. He simply suggested we join Jiangnan, and then Jiangnan would accept us, allowing us to handle such matters there."
"But... but his meaning was also simpler: once we join Jiangnan, we certainly won’t receive the same treatment as top-level personnel like before. We must follow Jiangnan’s rules, like everyone else there, without exceptions."
After finishing, the City Lord was extremely anxious, grumbling internally. Originally, the Imperial Decree Department couldn’t decide on such matters. He was forced into this situation, and now facing this group of folks, he was utterly displeased.
However, displeasure was of no use. Within the Four Major Institutions, the Celestial Capital Department already held a leading position, not to mention that at this juncture, they were already in cahoots with the Demon-slaying Bureau and the Defense Department, making it a world where only the Imperial Decree Department suffers!
Other Sect Leaders from the Astronomical Platform were also upset. One directly expressed dissatisfaction, "Isn’t this Yuchi a bit arrogant? Can he not see that the City Lord is backed by our Astronomical Platform? When we went to negotiate, he responded with such a simple result. Is he trying to brush us off? Does he not see us as seniors?"
Another Sect Leader frowned, already removing the mask from his face, full of indignation. "Indeed, I think the Jiangnan United Commerce Association needs a little reminder from us. It’s just a commerce association, but why do I get the feeling they’re so arrogant? We went over there for answers, and they dealt with us so perfunctorily, not taking us seriously?"
