Chapter 1299: Chapter 354: Spiritual Painting Avatar and Painting Card! Sha Xing and the Heavenly Lock Sect! (Part 2)

Damn it, really can’t resist my sister. Eh, after reconsidering the current situation, he could only nod: "Alright, you lead the way!"

Rujin immediately became happy: "Hehe, didn’t I say, brother, you’re a good person. Let’s go, let’s go. It’d be troublesome if we miss them."

Hong Linxiu:

"Fine, but I’ll say this upfront. When we’re outside, you have to respect me a bit. It’s different outside compared to home; there’s a lot of trouble out there. After all, I’m the Director of the Celestial Capital Department in West Transport City. Don’t embarrass me outside, or don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my sister if I get angry."

At home, how we argue doesn’t matter; nobody keeps such a cautious attitude at home all the time; it would be too tiring to live like that.

But outside, there’s no way around it.

Hong Linxiu has many concerns!

And of course, Rujin agrees: "Let’s go, let’s go, why so much jabbering!"

...

In the inn, Yuchi was drinking tea.

It was already mid-November according to the Nine Provinces calendar.

Yuchi had been observing for quite some days in West Transport City. After finishing this cup of tea, he plans to leave. For now, matters with the Cloud Descending Sect have been dealt with here. As for whether he will deal with them again in the future, that depends on his cultivation.

"There are no laws to protect among cultivators, only hoping in the cultivators’ own limited morality. That is impossible."

Yuchi muttered to himself.

Yin Shuang’s pretty eyes rested on Yuchi’s face. She let Yuchi’s roguish hand stroke her silver hair and said to him: "So, Yuchi brother, when you said you came to destroy the Cloud Descending Sect for the mortals, you were really just finding an excuse for yourself!"

Yuchi smiled and nodded.

Since there were no outsiders here, some things could be spoken openly.

Did the Cloud Descending Sect oppress the common folk, causing Yuchi to selflessly eliminate those cultivators? Was it that Yuchi had no personal interests at all?

How could that be?

No one is without personal interests. Throughout history, the best motivator is interest, which is not just monetary return, but also fame, respect from others, personal satisfaction, etc. Even throwing a stone into the water is expecting some ripples, right?

Skipping stones is like that, and so is everything else. The saying that "selflessness will lead to ruin" might be stubborn, but it highlights the importance of "feedback."

Whether it’s gold or silver, emotions or respect, there needs to be feedback after an action. Without feedback, the action is meaningless.

"Indeed, the Cloud Descending Sect did many things that infuriated both man and gods, but what drove me to destroy them was primarily for the gold and silver, and secondarily for other reasons."

He had no intention of avoiding the topic, which was better than pointing fingers from a high horse and pretending not to see anything.

Mouthing concerns for this and that but actually turning a blind eye when it really counts.

There are too many like that.

Yin Shuang liked how Yuchi put it, and as the two laughed and ate some food, there was a knock on the door of the small private room in the inn.

When Yuchi puzzledly let the person in, his heart tightened for a fleeting moment.

Crap!

Why did the Director of the Celestial Capital Department from West Transport City come?! And this woman beside him, why is she here too?! What is this crazy situation?!

Yin Shuang temporarily paused her hand holding the oily pastry. She gripped a tiny chopstick on the table, ready to poke this guy’s eyes out if something went wrong.

During Yuchi’s time in West Transport City, he secretly observed the Celestial Capital Department and knew about its Director, this man named Hong Linxiu, although his exact cultivation level was unknown. Seeing now his Eighth-Grade Talent, Yuchi knew Hong Linxiu’s strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

And being someone from the Cloud Descending Sect, he must usually have a great disguise. How come someone he just happened to meet while drinking tea could turn out to be like this?

"Cannot kill."

This was the assessment that popped into Yuchi’s mind, and while determining that killing was impossible, he could also assert that they would not recognize him; otherwise, how could he appear so casually before Yuchi?

Then, who was that woman?

Was she from the Celestial Capital Department?

No impression; he had no idea what she was.

Could it be the Celestial Capital people suspected he had something worth investigating here, so they sent this woman to pursue him!

"Yes, this possibility is very high!"

"The woman must be in cahoots with Hong Linxiu, which is why I say that unclear women should never be approached blindly. Many stories in my past life have taught me this, never underestimate any stranger, especially in unfamiliar territories!"

Many thoughts flooded Yuchi’s mind as his musings subsided. He found himself in a state of amused helplessness:
