Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 367: Chapter 201: Just Different Stances! Or Perhaps the Truth? (Large Chapter, Seeking Protection)_2

How about now?

Now Song Da Meiren has spoken! So it turns out the Great Tang Prison is suppressed by the other three institutions? They’re prohibited from recruiting disciples from anywhere, or else a great war would break out?

”That being said, Han Ming’s identity is questionable, she might not have been openly accepted into the Great Tang Prison. It’s possible her ancestor made a mistake, then became someone important in the prison, and then treated the Great Tang Prison as their home, allowing her to develop within it?”

Yuchi quickly pondered, and indeed, coming to seek Song Da Meiren was the right decision. If not for her, he wouldn’t know when he could learn about these things.

As he was thinking, a question arose for Yuchi: ”So, does this mean the Great Tang Prison and the Defense Department are essentially separate entities?”

Song Yinghan nodded slowly, speaking seriously: ”Yes, the Defense Department is the Defense Department, and the Great Tang Prison is the Great Tang Prison. You’ve seen our disciples from the Astrological Platform go to the Celestial Capital Department, but you probably haven’t seen many people from the Great Tang Prison go to the Defense Department, which in certain circumstances explains the situation.”

In a daze, Yuchi understood: Damn, the Demon-slaying Bureau always thinks of making money with monsters, the Great Tang Prison could possibly be a gathering place for criminal forces, and the Imperial Decree Department is a lazy nest of snake-like creatures. Ironically, the originally ostentatious Celestial Capital Department now seems to be the most normal?

Whoa, this is truly unexpected!

”That’s why I told you not to associate with them, I’m doing it for your own good. I don’t want to see you die.” Song Yinghan said earnestly.

”Is it because you care for me?” Yuchi’s face lit up with a smile again.

”No, I don’t care.” Song Yinghan, ”I’m just afraid you’ll die stupidly.”

”Haha, I’ve been caught off guard.”

Yuchi laughed, and seeing Song Da Meiren also laughing, he felt there was no need to hide. After all, with what she said, a basic level of trust should be established: ”As mentioned earlier, about how I found out my own worth from the Great Tang Prison.”

”Yes, yes.” Song Yinghan looked at Yuchi with anticipation.

”Actually, it’s like this.”

”Xufu Town has been through a lot, and now it has absorbed several towns and will become a massive new entity. Therefore, at this time, one day the Great Tang Prison dispatched a Golden Patrol here.”

”The attitude they want to convey is simple; they want to build a new Great Tang Prison around Xufu Town, and they came here this time to gain my support.”

Yuchi explained: ”And as soon as the Golden Patrol saw me, they talked about the Cloud Descending Sect and even revealed my own value to me.”

”...”

Song Yinghan’s face gradually changed, and after Yuchi finished speaking, her face was somewhat pale, and she spoke anxiously: ”So, how did you respond? You didn’t agree, did you?”

”I didn’t have the right to refuse,” Yuchi said with a smile.

Looking at the smile on Yuchi’s face, Song Yinghan felt an immediate heartache. How could someone still smile about such a matter at this time?

The Great Tang Prison is indeed two-faced.

The first type:

There will undoubtedly be a truly powerful Great Tang Prison in the world. If it can survive this long, it must be strong and awe-inspiring. Otherwise, an ordinary prison would have long since been unable to withstand the challenges.

The second type:

The prisons that can’t withstand challenges—there are probably many of them—the prisons have internally deteriorated. Who knows what kind of terrifying means these people could achieve? This is a prison under criminal control, wrapped in a shell of light but filled with darkness, which makes it even more frightening than darkness itself.

”When in danger, one seeks help from others. If you simply find a bad person, it’s still bearable, but what’s most feared is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, leaving nothing behind.”

Yuchi continued following his thoughts: ”Thanks to your introduction, Yinghan, I roughly understand the situation. It’s possible that the Cloud Descending Sect is a faction under the Great Tang Prison. Before, I couldn’t connect the upright Great Tang Prison with the Cloud Descending Sect, but now such possibilities exist.”

Song Yinghan was silent for a moment and then said: ”Don’t tell anyone else about this matter. Secrets like these at the Astrological Platform are only known to those with the highest status. I’m telling you because I don’t want you to die, but you can’t spread it, or they will deal with the troublesome you, and your end will be miserable.”

”Understood.”

Yuchi could sense the tenderness of Song Da Meiren. He didn’t expect someone to truly trust him, and for a fleeting moment, the cunning Yuchi felt a bit remorseful, thinking he should be nicer to Song Yinghan in the future, and she should be given the primary role.

Song Yinghan: Oh, thank you indeed!

Then Yuchi asked: ”So, Yinghan, on what do these Great Tang Prisons rely to survive?”

”We three major institutions all rely on the Imperial Decree Department,” Song Yinghan replied.

The Imperial Decree Department consists of Military Advisors, County Magistrates, City Lords, etc., the officials commonly seen by the people. Yuchi was somewhat surprised and asked: ”So, the people provide tax money, which is then split by the Imperial Decree Department into four parts to nurture the Four Major Institutions?”
