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

Chapter 1349: Chapter 361: Joyful Acquisition of Nascent Soul Great Sect Leader (Part 3)

”Hello there, Mrs. Bu.” Yuchi smiled, looking at the expression on her face—surprised, mature, with a hint of girlish astonishment.

Thinking about it was actually kind of funny. He’d met her back in Jiangnan, and not long after that first meeting, here they were running into each other again in Cuncha City. People who knew the situation would see it as coincidence; those who didn’t might think he’d deliberately come all the way to Cuncha City just to see her.

Now that would be quite the misunderstanding.

”It really is you... I just got back not long ago, about an hour, at most an hour, and then you show up—what are the odds?” Bu Huoran, graceful and poised, walked in from outside the door.

Yuchi had known Bu Huoran for quite some time now—thinking back, it had been maybe two or three years, or three or four at least. But what surprised him was that after all these years, Bu Huoran was still Bu Huoran, as if she simply didn’t age. The way she carried herself gave off this rich, fully ripened pomegranate vibe, honestly, pretty damn striking.

”Haha, this time coming here was also by chance. I had some business to take care of in Cuncha City, and once that was done I figured I’d come check on Tingyue, see how she’s doing, whether she needs any help. I just didn’t expect to run into you at this exact moment as well.”

Yuchi smiled and gestured toward the woman beside him. After seeing Bu Huoran, Yuan Xuan couldn’t help herself and bowed to Bu Huoran.

But it was just a bow; her overall demeanor stayed quite proper. After bowing, she sat back down on the stool beside her seat, quietly waiting for this brief meeting to wrap up so she could go to that sect and see what it was really like. For her, everything else could be ignored. At this stage, Yuan Xuan was extremely curious about what kind of existence the other party’s sect actually was.

Of course.

Yuan Xuan didn’t think Bu Huoran was that beautiful. Compared to herself, she figured the other woman was still missing something in terms of charm, so there was no need to feel anything about it. She didn’t need to get anything from the Celestial Craft Workshop either—she was who she was and couldn’t be bothered to deal with these people.

She even carried a bit of resentment in her bones. After all, she and the Celestial Craft Workshop had plenty of conflicts. As the biggest power in the Third State, the Celestial Craft Workshop basically kept cultivators crushed under its heel. If it weren’t for the Celestial Craft Workshop, cultivators wouldn’t be having such a miserable time right now.

Just thinking about it still made her chest tighten a little.

”So that’s pretty much how it is. I’ve still got other matters to handle, so we’ll be leaving Cuncha City for now. If you ever need help, you can crush this Jade Talisman, and I’ll hurry over to see what’s going on.”

”But as you’ve both seen.”

”I’m just a small-time cultivator. If it’s something even your Celestial Craft Workshop can’t handle, chances are I won’t be able to help either.”

Yuchi joked, speaking humbly.

Hearing him say that, Yuan Xuan knowingly stood up. This little episode was finally about to end, and she could finally go see what that sect was like, whether they could actually help her, and what kind of price she herself would have to pay.

Bu Huoran and Bu Tingyue stood up together. Tingyue’s eyes held a bit of reluctance, while Bu Huoran smiled as she accepted the Jade Talisman and asked, ”Are you interested in the Cabinet?”

Yuchi: ”...”

Interested, of course he was. But the Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet seemed to be a place for research, and compared to the outer Cabinet of the Celestial Craft Workshop, that inner Cabinet really didn’t like letting random outsiders in. To enter the Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet you had to pass assessments, after all.

Bu Huoran went on, ”There are still a few days left. Why don’t you stay in Cuncha City? When the time comes, we can go to the Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet together. We might not be able to enter the Cabinet itself, but just taking a look from outside is no problem.”

I can only look and not go in?

Then what’s the point of looking—why bother at all? What, is this supposed to be some kind of pure romance trip?

Jokes aside.

The key thing was that Jiangnan was still under construction, with all kinds of messy affairs piling up. So even though chances to enter the Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet were rare, as long as his strength grew in the future, forget the Cabinet itself—even the Workshop Master’s daughter in the Cabinet, he’d be able to have some thorough, in-depth exchanges with her.

So for Yuchi, this particular opportunity was basically optional.

After all, no matter how good his relationship with the Celestial Craft Workshop Cabinet got, it wouldn’t directly increase his strength. In the end he still had to rely on his own power.

And besides, there was Yuan Xuan at his side. He still needed to handle her situation first.

”Thank you for the invitation, but I don’t have the time right now. If I get the chance later, I’ll definitely come visit in person.” Yuchi smiled and turned her down outright.

”Alright. If you ever want to enter the Cabinet in the future, you can just come to me directly. Also, those things I talked to you about back in Jiangnan are still valid. Around February this year, once I’m done handling my end of things, I’ll head straight to Jiangnan. I’ll bring a team with me to take care of that matter then.”
