So she pondered for a moment, then asked:

"By the way, Chairman Yuchi, how is the development of Xufu Town going? Has it already transformed into a city? If it has, we should arrange for the Celestial Craft Workshop to set up a shop there, and as a local, you could help us manage the Celestial Craft Workshop's store."

The Celestial Craft Workshop is indeed a good position.

If Yuchi had a Celestial Craft Workshop under his command, even if in a place like Canglan City, he could still earn lots of gold and silver every month. The key is that the Celestial Craft Workshop can also speed up the city's construction, akin to a super-large enterprise suddenly arriving in a small city, boosting the speed of city development significantly, which is a great thing that other cities would envy.

"By next year, Xufu Town is still stabilizing, but starting next year, it will begin to annex more surrounding cities, eventually turning Xufu Town into a major city, at which point I would graciously accept," Yuchi expressed with no refusal.

After all, this is business. With proper interests and exchanges, no one would owe the other too much, making matters more comfortable.

"Great! Once Xufu Town becomes a city, please contact us directly, Chairman Yuchi, so we can celebrate with you!"

"Please don't refuse, or we wouldn't be friends at all, and that would really create distance between us."

The woman had an ample figure and graceful posture, making Yuchi exclaim inwardly in admiration. Of course, she had a husband, but it made him wonder if Tingyue and Luohua would grow up like that in the future. Tingyue might have no problems, but Luohua seemed unlikely, as she appeared to remain an eternally small girl.

Bu Luohua: "Humph! Sect Leader Senior Brother is the one who remains a perpetual boy!"

...

Half an hour later, Yuchi, along with two others, arrived inside a courtyard.

This was the place.

Living in Bu Huoran's residence, Yuchi initially thought he might meet Bu Huoran's husband, a significant figure from the Celestial Craft Workshop, but apparently, her husband was not in Cuncha City. A brief inquiry revealed that he was still in the State Capital, likely with other business to attend to.

There he was, residing in the courtyard. The entire Celestial Craft Workshop estate was vast, and as a guest, he received much hospitality with food, drinks, and entertainment being brought directly to him. Notably, the tea from Cuncha City was truly outstanding. It looked like small tree leaves, but the tea's flavor was special and refreshing, akin to drinking chicken soup.

As he sipped tea, he contemplated his next move.

"Honestly, this is somewhat troubling. If I still operate in Cuncha City under the Yuchi identity, it poses instability to the Wei Family, especially since Bu Huoran knows I am from Xufu Town. Even though I trust her greatly, it's best not to burden others with such matters, as it could become dangerous for her if she knew too much."

"What should I do then?"

"Should I feign a departure and return as Song Bei?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Yuchi felt a slight dilemma. Honestly, using the Song Bei identity is a desperate measure, but creating a new identity now would make him appear quite pitiful, and managing multiple identities would only increase the burden of memories later.

With just three identities, there are already many things I can't remember clearly.

Just like when I recently met Bu Tingyue for the first time as Yuchi, but due to Zong Liangqing's identity, it seemed as if I had met her before. Thankfully, no one noticed, but later on, I realized how problematic it could have been.

So, I can't keep creating new identities. The more identities I have, the more complicated the reckoning becomes. If I can't navigate this world with just three identities, adding more would lead me to reflexively create a new identity whenever a problem arises, desensitizing myself increasingly.

"It's better to use the Yuchi identity. After all, Yuchi is seen by the Celestial Craft Workshop as a junior uncle of the Ascension Gate, and this information may reach others. The star observatory's Song Qingshan, my father-in-law, might also be aware of this matter."

"In this way, I can use this identity to make some maneuvers, avoiding overly passive situations, making money using Yuchi's identity, which is better than resorting to multiple bizarre identities and keeps things more straightforward and memorable."

While Yuchi pondered his next steps, elsewhere, Bu Huoran and Bu Tingyue had entered a side room.

This was currently Bu Tingyue's chamber, filled with books on various mechanisms, not just mechanical books but a variety of temporary mechanisms as well. Bu Huoran appeared a bit like a techie, and now, her mother, Bu Huoran, obviously had instructions to give.
