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

Chapter 1076: Chapter 317: I’ll Keep Your Secret! It’s the Disciple Li Xiao’an’s!

With a wave of his hand: ”Scram, don’t disturb my fun over here.”

Baldy: ”Yes! Senior!”

He hurriedly got up to leave, he was just about to go when Yuchi suddenly called out to him: ”Hold it.”

Baldy: ”Ah, Senior, do you still have something for me? Just give me your orders directly.”

Yuchi stuck out an index finger, revealing a row of bright white teeth: ”You still owe me money.”

Baldy: ”Owe you money?”

Yuchi nodded, very satisfied: ”A mil.”

Baldy: ”...”

Yuchi leaned his head over: ”I’ve been keeping your little secret for you, y’know.”

He sat back down again: ”Heehee.”

Baldy’s heart clenched, his face went sallow, and you could practically see the stormy waves crashing in his heart. Could it be that this guy knows my secret?

His liver trembled on the spot, and he hurriedly handed over his Storage Ring: ”Senior, there’s one million taels of silver in here, please have a look!”

Yuchi smiled: ”Off you go.”

Baldy: ”Yes!”

He left in a state of fright, and as Yuchi watched him step out, his own body shuddered, and he yanked Li Xiao’an with him and in an instant they were back at Ascension Gate.

Without saying another word, he was already at the foot of Ascension Gate’s mountain. His old face was flushed red, and he was panting hard, big gulp after big gulp.

He’d freeloaded a full million, and in the end his guts had actually gotten fat enough that he’d just straight-up asked that baldy for a million. This kind of thing really wasn’t planned at all; it was decided in that split second of lightning and flint. Luckily his acting skills were pretty decent, and the setup was solid, and he seized that moment when the baldy’s mind was in chaos. Otherwise there’s no way he could’ve sweet-talked a million taels of silver out of him!

So爽!

It really was pretty爽, after all he had just picked Li Xiao’an up off the roadside, and Li Xiao’an hadn’t even signed up back then, so how exactly does that make her a disciple of your Sea Heaven Sect, huh? I already gave you face here, even took out a tael of silver as a registration fee, yet you still came poking around to test me.

If I hadn’t been quick-witted, and if I didn’t have a few things on hand to prove myself, the ending probably wouldn’t have been too pretty.

How is that not infuriating.

So that money wasn’t a loss at all.

As for someone like that baldy at the Spirit Storage Stage, how could he not have some kind of dangerous secret? And there are only more of those, not fewer. In that kind of situation, there was no way this baldy had the leeway to think too much. He’ll probably realize what happened after the fact, but by then I’ll have already changed my look. You think you can still find me?

Hahaha.

爽.

A million, huh. Now I’ve got over eight million. Even if this kind of thing can only be done occasionally, otherwise sooner or later something’s gonna blow up, as long as I can occasionally trigger some hidden quests and snag a massive reward, that’s already a very, very nice deal.

”So that trip to the State Capital was just the beginning. I’ve already squeezed a million out of that baldy, and at the same time I picked up a little sister Li Xiao’an!”

”Can’t complain!”

Yuchi, content and pleased, turned to look at the utterly stunned Yin Shuang: ”What’s wrong, Shuang’Er, you look like you just can’t believe what happened?”

Yin Shuang hammered Yuchi’s chest with her little fists, speaking excitedly: ”Brother Chi, you big scammer! You’re really a big scammer! Big con-man! Brother Chi, now I know why I’m slowly starting to like you, you big scammer! You even managed to dupe him like that!”

Yuchi: ”No, it’s ’big swindler,’ not ’big scammer’—articulate properly.”

Yin Shuang: ”Oh.”

Then—

”No wait, that’s not what I meant, don’t latch onto that detail! You actually dared to just straight-up con that baldy. I was so scared I was about to run away from home just now. That baldy obviously came in here full of murderous aura, and who knew that in a blink Brother Chi, you’d defuse it like that!”

”When it comes to putting on airs, Brother Chi, you’re the best!”

”Shuangshuang has learned something today!”

Yuchi rubbed her head, smiling bashfully as he said: ”Even though ’putting on airs’ is a derogatory term, in the adult world, that’s just reality. When you grow up you’ll understand. Everyone’s putting on airs, afraid of getting pushed around by others.”

”So learn it.”

”The adult world is pretty filthy.”

Yin Shuang: ”I’ll work hard!”

Yuchi: ”You got this!”

Yin Shuang: ”Mm mm!”

The two of them had clearly gone completely off-topic and wandered into some bizarre, inexplicable realm.

...

Halfway up the mountain, a disciple had already spotted Li Xiao’an.

It was little gossip-monger Jiang Eryue. She’d just finished cultivating to her heart’s content, her cultivation having improved quite nicely lately. Whenever she thought of that smile of the Sect Leader Senior Brother, she felt very happy, and after breaking through a bottleneck today, she’d come out to stroll around Ascension Gate to get some fresh air.

And then she discovered Li Xiao’an, who was standing halfway up the mountain, utterly shaken.

Eh, who’s she? Curious, Jiang Eryue walked over and waved at the completely dazed Li Xiao’an: ”Hi there, little sister, how come you’re here all by yourself?”

Li Xiao’an blankly turned her head to look at Jiang Eryue: ”Hello, I don’t even know why I suddenly went from the State Capital to here. It was the Sect Leader Senior Brother...”

When Li Xiao’an said those four words ”Sect Leader Senior Brother,” her face flushed red. While marveling at how crimson-lipped and white-toothed the girl in front of her was, she changed her phrasing and said, ”Just now I was still in the State Capital, and then suddenly I ended up in this place. I don’t even know where this is. A strange man said he’d bring me over here to cultivate, and after he brought me here, he disappeared.”
