Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 81 - 80: Are You Worthy? Here?

In the yamen, Chen Guangsheng and Yuan Wansong were already facing each other.

In reality, chances for the Celestial Capital Department and the Demon-slaying Bureau to confront each other face-to-face were rare.

Yuchi gave them an opportunity.

The atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

Chen Guangsheng took the initiative to break the deadlock. He casually said, "The business guild is right across the street, want to take a look?"

Yuan Wansong didn’t drink tea. While sipping from a flask he carried, he responded, "There will be a chance, but not now."

He wiped away some remaining liquor from the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Wansong looked at the extremely calm Chen Guangsheng before him, "So your Celestial Capital Department actually comes to such small towns?"

"To protect such a business guild?"

"Do you guys have a lot of patience?"

Their Demon-slaying Bureau had heard that the people from the Celestial Capital Department were ridiculously arrogant.

Usually, they only appear in big cities, existing even more pretentiously than the Defense Department within those cities.

Unexpectedly, they could still be seen in this little Xufu Town.

And Chen Guangsheng, a Ninth Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, came too, which definitely wasn’t half-hearted.

Chen Guangsheng smirked, "Rank matters; higher officials can suppress people. Don’t underestimate the people of the Imperial Decree Department."

"According to protocol, they can completely order the people from the Defense Department."

"If the people of Defense Department and the Imperial Decree Department come to a consensus, our Celestial Capital Department still has to be cautious."

Yuan Wansong was unconcerned, "Just like the business guild in Xufu Town?"

"Yes, just like this business guild in Xufu Town!" Chen Guangsheng answered.

The two were like a needle against a wheat awn, neither backing down.

"So do you think this business guild has potential?" Yuan Wansong pressed on.

They had just arrived at Xufu Town not long ago.

All they knew was that there was a special business guild across the yamen, but as for what the guild was.

Their Demon-slaying Bureau wasn’t as fast with information as the other three agencies.

"It’s none of my business. I’m just here to ensure the safety of the guild in Xufu Town," Chen Guangsheng said indifferently, "What?"

"Your Demon-slaying Bureau people interested in things like this too?"

"I thought you only chased after demons."

Chen Guangsheng clearly had the style of the Celestial Capital Department.

Being stuck in Xufu Town was already somewhat irritating, and now the people of the Demon-slaying Bureau were here too.

If he didn’t seize the opportunity to ridicule Yuan Wansong of the Demon-slaying Bureau, Chen Guangsheng would think he wasn’t from the Celestial Capital Department.

Yuan Wansong was very familiar with this kind of behavior from Chen Guangsheng. As soon as Chen Guangsheng started speaking, he knew what Chen Guangsheng wanted to say.

At this moment, Yuan Wansong couldn’t be bothered answering Chen Guangsheng’s questions.

"We’re just making casual conversation, don’t overthink it."

"Once the Demon-slaying Bureau’s matters in Xufu Town are settled, we’ll head back."

"Unlike some people, stuck in this small Xufu Town, hard to get away."

"What a pity."

Yuan Wansong said meaningfully.

This left Chen Guangsheng laughing heartily, "At least I’m still having a good time, the brothels in Xufu Town are not few."

"But I still envy you."

"You can live and die with demons."

The Demon-slaying Bureau is undoubtedly the agency with the highest mortality rate.

Thus, there’s an unspoken understanding in the Jiuzhou.

Those with a big background go to the Celestial Capital Department.

Those with a small background are in the Imperial Decree Department.

The ones with no background are in the Defense Department.

Only fools join the Demon-slaying Bureau.

It might sound abrupt, but that’s how it is, and the words can be nastier.

The Demon-slaying Bureau isn’t appreciated for their contributions and is generally seen as a bunch of idiots chasing demons.

What’s it like?

Like a Tomb Guardian or Corpse Driver, or someone who applies makeup to the dead.

All legitimate jobs, all serving the country and its people.

However, would people really want to be close to these individuals? Not many would, hence these cutting criticisms arise.

"Occupational prejudice." Yuchi, "I’m familiar with it, it’s just an internal struggle provoked among the unfortunate."

Yuan Wansong sneered, "Quite the sharp tongue there, did your daughter marry off thirty thousand miles away?"

Chen Guangsheng laughed, "Isn’t your daughter the same?"

The two were smiling insincerely, you wish good things for my family, I wish blessings for your ancestors.

It’s clear neither of them were shape-shifting demons.

Demons wouldn’t be this persistent.

...

In the guild, Yuchi sat in the conference hall drinking tea while massaging his old back.

Cavalry is no good, infantry is better.

Cavalry has horses, travels fast, but bumpy.

Infantry has no horses, moves slowly, but each step is steady.

The back-and-forth between Xufu Town and the relay station had Yuchi exhausted.

"Anyway, I’m still someone in the Qi Cultivation Realm. If it were an ordinary person, they’d probably be jolted into incontinence."

Yuchi was speechless.

After dealing with all these matters today, I might be able to get a little sleep when I get back.

Tired as hell these past two days.

Not at all like the happy life a third young master of the Wei Family should have.

Forced to inherit the mountain gate, forced to stand up and take charge.

Totally speechless.

Feel like asking Yuan’Er to give me a shoulder massage.

Xun Xian then appeared in my line of sight.

She didn’t regard herself as an outsider at all. Watching Yuchi rubbing his waist, she said, "They’re almost here."

"Okay." Yuchi nodded.

"Then what exactly are you thinking?" Xun Xian asked curiously, looking at Yuchi.

"What do you mean?" Yuchi looked at the fierce woman walking towards him.

Xun Xian stretched her wrists and comfortably sat on a chair, "It’s simple, can you persuade these people to spend money?"

The implication was clear.

If she were in these great families, she wouldn’t choose to help Yuchi. After all, it was trouble he caused.

How could the merchant guild pay for this?

There’s no reason they would.

Moreover, spending two thousand taels for twenty or so commoners would surely be laughed at.

Sentimentality in business?

It’s like...

Hmm.

No benevolent leadership?!

So she thinks if she herself reasons this way, then the heads of the other families surely think the same.

No one would actually agree to it, right?

No way.

"Wanna bet?" Yuchi asked with a smile.

"Sure." Xun Xian was indifferent, "What are we betting?"

"If I can convince five other families to pitch in with me, then you introduce me to your benefactor." Yuchi grinned.

"Introduce my benefactor?" Xun Xian slightly furrowed her brows.

"Yes." Yuchi answered, "As long as you think this person has benefited you the most, you introduce me to them."

"Share a meal."

"Listen to some music."

"Even a bath together if need be."

"Feasible?"

Yuchi needed to meet other members of the Defense Department besides Xun Xian.

Xun Xian was relatively upright, so her benefactor wouldn’t be bad either.

The benefactor’s status would also be good, so even if he seemed like he’s trying to climb the social ladder, he wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

It’s an opportunity for the merchant guild to get to know higher officials.

"Alright." Xun Xian didn’t care what Yuchi thought of doing, "What if you fail?"

"If I fail, I’ll consider marrying you." Yuchi replied seriously.

Instantly speechless, Xun Xian nearly choked, "Do you even deserve it?"

"Right here?" Yuchi was surprised.

"Huh?" Xun Xian was momentarily caught off guard.

"I can live up to it, just a little bit." Yuchi put on a seriously earnest face.

Xun Xian suddenly understood.

Her muscle-bound self leapt up, with fists the size of a pot ready to crash down on Yuchi’s head.

Yuchi quickly laughed and stopped her, "Just kidding."

"If not, I owe you one. In the future, if you need help, I’ll definitely agree."

"Provided it doesn’t harm the interests of the merchant guild."

The redness on Xun Xian’s face gradually faded as she sat back down, "That’s more like it."

She then mumbled to herself, "So good at flirting, no wonder Yuan’Er is so devoted to him."

"Alright, then it’s settled." Yuchi looked at her, "Now, Miss Xun, could you go back to the Wei Family."

"See where my father and elder brother are now, as they’ll need to show face later."

Xun Xian nodded, "Alright, what about Wei Fei, your second brother?"

Yuchi replied, "Second brother is busy at the yamen with life-and-death matters, let him handle it himself this time."

"Life-and-death matters?" Xun Xian didn’t quite understand, then said, "Okay, should I bring them over?"

Yuchi nodded, "Bring them to the merchant guild before noon."

Xun Xian understood and then left.

She went out the door.

With an effortless leap, she landed directly on the roof of the guild, gazing at the expanse of undulating rooftops ahead.

"I don’t believe you can accomplish this."

"It doesn’t make sense."
