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

Chapter 534: Chapter 228 The Competition Continues! Disciple and Sect Leader! _2

It goes without saying that once this Spirit Stone vein is mined, the entire Great Tang Prison will instantaneously gain a windfall, which would be truly delightful.

But can such news be kept from others?

Mortals might not know, but cultivators do, and not to mention some sects coveting such benefits, even fellow colleagues of the Great Tang Prison would want a share of the pie once they saw such a profitable site. So, at this time, the relationships within the Xufu Town Commerce Association come into play.

”Our Great Tang Prison came to protect Xufu Town, and we are cherished by the townspeople. Who do you think you are to come uninvited? Or as the Great Tang Prison, are you ignoring the will of the people and acting so lawlessly?”

In such a world, whether genuinely caring for the people or merely pretending, everyone knows they cannot develop without the support of the people.

Thus, in the face of such major issues, once this old man has the support of Xufu Town’s people, anyone wanting to take action? Haha, they would be going against the people and basic morality, the price being destruction.

Furthermore, he still very much wanted to build a good relationship with Yuchi, not just because of the mines, which is taking advantage of others, but also purely from the position of Commerce Association President, Yuchi is somewhat capable and worth befriending.

So how to build a good relationship with Yuchi? Simple, use the beauty trick.

Han Ming remained silent for now, simply lowering her head calmly, avoiding looking at the old man before her. She did not know what the old man was thinking; she only wanted to ensure her own safety now.

The Prison Director suddenly asked, ”Is Yuchi in Xufu Town now?”

”Answering the Prison Director, Yuchi is not in Xufu Town. He has some business to attend to and might only return around September this year.”

Han Ming answered calmly and fearfully.

”Oh, then what is your relationship with Yuchi? You wouldn’t defy his will, putting our Great Tang Prison in an unrighteous position, would you?” The Prison Director’s tone was calm, but with that red nose from drinking and those sinister eyes, this guy was definitely not benevolent.

”I wouldn’t dare.”

Han Ming replied without hesitation, ”Additionally, answering the Prison Director, I have already secured Yuchi.”

What? The Prison Director was shocked, sizing up the woman before him, who was two heads taller than himself, wondering if Yuchi was really this formidable? Did Han Ming just manage to capture him? Or had he already spotted the soft underbelly of the Great Tang Prison and wanted to savor it well?

Understandable! Men, indeed, have this little hobby, and it’s not illegal.

”No matter, just a small thing.” The Prison Director said nonchalantly.

Actually, his original plan was to keep Han Ming, but if she truly got Yuchi, then so be it; he doesn’t lack for such women, spending some money outside can easily find one.

Good smoke and wine are for others; he can smoke the cheap stuff.

He actually wasn’t angry, appearing to truly want something from Yuchi. Han Ming slightly breathed a sigh of relief. She had to present the situation this way, otherwise, she didn’t know how to make the old man believe her. Now, it seemed effective.

Then she heard the Prison Director say lightly, ”That’s it, stay in Xufu Town and guard well. If Yuchi returns one day, come inform me, for I wish to see him.”

”Yes, sir, take care.”

Han Ming watched the old man leave swiftly, finally letting out a long breath.

”I guess I’ll never be able to exact revenge in this life.”

”One person alone ultimately cannot support everything.”

Thinking bitterly, she silently returned to the treetop, sitting there without moving, just quietly pondering when Yuchi would return.

Indeed.

Han Ming was here at the Great Tang Prison to seek revenge. Her biological parents were killed by the Prison Director. Through some final connections as a child, she entered the Great Tang Prison, hiding within, deceiving herself daily to calm down, promoting the greatness of the Great Tang Prison.

In reality, she wanted a chance to kill the Prison Director, but danger finally arose. The person who brought her into the Great Tang Prison back then was recently found to be an assassin.

After suffering cruel treatment, he was skinned and died, yet even in his dying breath, he didn’t reveal Han Ming’s secrets, or she too would be gone by now.

The only person she recognized perished tragically in the Great Tang Prison, which truly scared Han Ming. Fear that her identity would one day be exposed, leading to a fate worse than that man’s.

Much like another undercover, seeing a colleague beaten to death, she was surely flustered, yet had to speak well of the Great Tang Prison and abide by its rules in front of others. It was simply nightmarish.

Later, she came to Xufu Town and found Yuchi, who just happened to need a stand-in. She got pulled over to help, feeling more and more wronged, believing she had no hope for revenge alone, and was quite fearful.
