Chapter 933: Chapter 293: Do You Dare? I Don’t Dare...

"If you can make this wealthy patron laugh, you’ll start off with a thousand taels of silver."

"As for Yuan Xuan’s cultivation level, who even knows? But based on my understanding of major cities, her cultivation should be at the Spirit Storage Stage, making her a two-thousand-year-old demoness."

But regardless, I’m just going to have a look, see roughly how strong she is. I’m not saying I’ll encounter her directly, just wanting to learn about others’ sects. It’s about using the strengths of others to your advantage.

But there’s no way I’ll approach her as a courtesan, after all, I’m still the Sect Leader of Ascension Gate, and sometimes I represent the entire sect. I can’t stoop to such levels.

The key point is that Yuan Xuan is definitely a fierce woman. Observing her in secret is best. If you confront her directly, it’s like throwing yourself into a pit of fire.

I might end up being drained dry.

"Yes, it will be tonight. Assuming the identity of my brother Bu Tingyue shouldn’t be an issue."

"After all, Tingyue is quite a simple girl too."

"Bu Huoran is also convinced by me, so there shouldn’t be any issues."

"As for Yu Yao, she might go over there, but it’s not a big deal. Yu Yao won’t cause any trouble."

"So Cuncha City is very peaceful, like the calm before a storm. It’s a little unnerving how quiet it is."

"I hope I’m just overthinking things." Yuchi felt very relaxed.

He most feared being caught between women, so if no one pays attention to him, that’s the most relaxing.

He had just about finished eating.

Then Yuchi suddenly looked up, ready to settle the bill and leave.

He suddenly noticed a female cultivator sitting in front of him, and his breathing became erratic. Upon closer inspection, he saw her attractive, enchanting appearance, and when she furrowed her brows, looking at him confused, Yuchi understood.

This was a disciple of my Ascension Gate.

It’s a disciple scattered outside from Ascension Gate! Yes, I was just wondering if I could encounter this female cultivator and if there was a destiny to it. Given how vast Cuncha City is, meeting her again like this is fated!

Did I really meet her?! Did she just appear in front of me, Yuchi, utterly unprepared?! It’s like it’s meant to be!

"Hello?" the female cultivator asked, puzzled.

She wasn’t sure why the young man in front of her was looking at her with such an enthusiastic gaze, as if there was something unusual on her face? That couldn’t be; she was already washed and clean, with freshly changed clothes. There shouldn’t be any issue.

"Hello, I’m Yuchi," Yuchi said, smiling proactively, "I got a bit lost seeing such a beautiful girl, sorry for disturbing you!"

Quite a sweet talker, the female cultivator responded confidently, "Xiahou Xuexiang."

Yuchi: "Maple leaves after frost, plum blossoms through snow!"

He gave a thumbs up: "Great name!"

Xiahou Xuexiang: "..."

Tea egg vendor: "..."

Couldn’t help but laugh: "Sir, you’re quite entertaining."

"Haha." Yuchi said to the old man at the street stall, "Master, two more eggs, my treat."

Old man: "..."

So generous!

As the vendor brought over two tea eggs with a smile as Yuchi handed over two copper coins, he said gruffly:

"I have tea eggs boiled with Cuncha tea, perfect for gifting a beautiful girl, only ten wen each, dear customer, would you like some?"

Tea eggs for ten wen? Are they made of gold? ...Yuchi completely ignored the vendor’s words, pushed the two tea eggs over, and said with a smile, "Xiahou girl, from the looks of it, you have something urgent to attend to."

Xiahou Xuexiang thanked Yuchi, peeling a tea egg while nodding, "Indeed, I have some important business to handle."

"What kind of business? Looking for a sect?" Yuchi asked with a smile.

"How did you know?" Xiahou Xuexiang was quite curious.

How did I know? I was just guessing, Yuchi thought, noticing her attire was that of a cultivator but not of any sect. I wanted to persuade Xiahou Xuexiang to join my sect, so I used the sect as an excuse.

"Because I have a great sect I want to introduce to you," Yuchi said earnestly.

"Huh?"

Xiahou Xuexiang took a bite of the tea egg, nodding involuntarily, "Really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Yuchi smiled.

"It’s not about you lying to me, but if any sect would dare accept me," Xiahou Xuexiang laughed wryly.

Huh? Yuchi: "What do you mean, any sect would dare accept you... Xiahou girl, I don’t know how to respond."

"It’s like this."

"I’ve been to twelve sects before, and eight of them closed within half a year of my arrival. Then in three sects, wars broke out the moment I arrived, with Elders and Sect Leaders fighting catastrophically."

"The remaining sect was newly established and soon faced a debt crisis; the Sect Leader was assassinated overnight, and his body was hung on a crooked tree at the mountain gate for a long time before being discovered."

She finished speaking and ate the half a tea egg, feeling a little embarrassed, chuckling awkwardly.

Yuchi: "..."

Ancestor, you’re a Sect Leader killer!

"I can’t help it, but I don’t think it’s my fault. My cultivation practices are fine, and I give all the gold and silver required. It’s not my fault they fail to measure up, so this time I came to Cuncha City because I heard Sect Leader Yuan Xuan was coming, and I plan to pay respects to Sect Leader Yuan Xuan."

After speaking, several female cultivators passed by, originally intending to chat with Yuchi—after all, the young man was quite charming. But upon seeing Xiahou Xuexiang in front of him, their brows immediately twitched fiercely.

They avoided her.

Sect Assassin Xiahou Xuexiang, a renowned figure in Cuncha City!

She holds many titles.

Like the Calamity Heart of Dawn, Ruler of Chaos and Darkness, the Domineering Dark Monarch Empress, Death’s Spokesperson, the 99th Emperor of the Britannia Empire, Lelouch V Brittan!
