So, Yuchi, aren’t you the kind who makes jokes? Well, fine, I’ll just agree directly. Do you dare to come? Do you dare to exert some pressure on me, a member of the Celestial Craft Workshop?

How could it be possible?!

Turns out Bu Huoran gambled correctly. The honest Yuchi was at a loss here and eventually decided to stay momentarily, considering Bu Huoran’s request. As Bu Huoran put it, usually when the Female Sect Leader visits, it’s always them receiving her. But since it’s Yuchi visiting this time, Yuchi should lend a hand too.

As for why it wasn’t mentioned straight away, it was because Bu Huoran had already realized Yuchi had no intention of staying. He completely viewed himself as a passerby. So earlier, when Yuchi said they weren’t treating him as one of their own, it was actually Yuchi himself who never regarded Bu Huoran as a friend, ready to bite back in critical moments.

The verbal sparring between the two was no less intense than battles between some cultivators.

Clicking his tongue, Yuchi sighed:

"The strength of the Celestial Craft Workshop’s head cannot be underestimated. Able to spar back and forth with me, capable of handling me thoroughly. No wonder this woman is part of the Celestial Craft Workshop."

"It’s a pity she has a husband."

"Otherwise, she would have been of great help to me, both in business and in life. She’s truly a remarkable and courteous woman."

But Yuchi still has basic morals. In our Ascension Gate, there’s Yinghan and there’s Changyi; there’s no need to cross Bu Huoran. It’s best not to mess with married women.

No need.

As for why he’s now outside Cuncha City, it wasn’t because Yuchi wanted to appear as Song Bei, but rather because he was tailing a girl.

The situation is straightforward.

Even though Bu Huoran was so obedient, he was still quite satisfied, eventually agreeing with the other party. They would wait until tomorrow to visit the pavilion together and see what the so-called Sect Leader means.

Knowing the situation beforehand, it was still early, so Yuchi temporarily left the Celestial Craft Workshop to see if he could find any disciples in Cuncha City.

And there it is.

On the road, he discovered a pretty competent female cultivator who seemed "pitiful" being all alone.

So Yuchi observed her secretly, checking whether she was suitable for him, and followed her all the way to the outside of Cuncha City.

As they left Cuncha City, the female cultivator quickened her pace, and her strength gradually increased. Turned out she was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator?

This female cultivator was indeed an extraordinary person, hastily heading somewhere and diving into a cold pool to wash.

While she washed, she was muttering something.

"I wonder if I can find a sect tomorrow."

"Ah."

"I wonder if she’ll agree to let me join?"

From a distance, it’s certainly hard to hear, so Yuchi wiped his nosebleed, just waiting quietly by the side.

"The female cultivator’s talent isn’t bad; it’s just unknown what she’s muttering about."

"As for the female sect leader Bu Huoran mentioned, who knows what kind of person this Sect Leader is. Hopefully, she’s not some twisted existence; otherwise, it would be hard to manage."

"Fortunately, I’m still appearing as a male companion of the Celestial Craft Workshop, appearing as Bu Tingyue’s brother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t willingly have close contact with such a Sect Leader recklessly; it’s a very dangerous thing."

After Yuchi pondered these matters, when he turned back to check the cold pool, the woman was already gone.

No idea when she left, even the clothes on the shore had disappeared.

"Such a pity."

Yuchi stood by the cold pool, letting out a mournful sigh.

Mainly, he’s too upright himself and didn’t keep watching in secret; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost track of such a promising female cultivator.

"No helping it."

"Let’s check again. If fate allows, they can still meet; if not, then that’s that; these things can’t be clearly defined by anyone."

...

Within the Celestial Craft Workshop, Bu Huoran felt quite relaxed. Although there were some minor interludes in the conversation with Yuchi, in the end, she managed to persuade Yuchi to stay.

Mainly because there was no reliable male companion around. Without a man in the house, some things were lacking at crucial moments. But now there’s no problem; with Honest Yuchi helping tomorrow, things should be mostly problem-free, and they might even establish a favorable relationship with the Sect Leader.

"Still thinking of devouring me?"

"How to devour?"

"Do you have that kind of courage?"

The beautiful woman thought shyly but boldly, pacing in the courtyard, savoring the clear tea from the teapot in her hand.

But at this moment, her daughter came over.

After some thought, when Bu Tingyue asked where Yuchi was, she rolled her eyes and deliberately lied, "President Yuchi has left."

Left?

Bu Tingyue was momentarily stunned. How could he have left just like that, arriving in a hurry and leaving in a hurry? Did he just leave this place directly? He didn’t even say a single word to her before leaving Cuncha City? Did something happen all of a sudden?
