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

”Hmm... The matters of Diqing City have been resolved, and as things stand, there’s no problem with South City either. There’s no point in me staying in Diqing City any longer. It’s time to visit the Courtesan and have a chat, see if I can gain some new insights.”

”But before I really head to Diqing City, I should inform the City Lord before I leave. If someone comes looking for me later, just say that I have temporarily left Diqing City due to some matters. I’ll keep my identity as part of the Imperial Decree Department; it might still come in handy in the future, so it’s not just about leaving abruptly.”

Yuchi had already arrived in Diqing City. In front of other guards, he confidently entered the Imperial Decree Department. Inside, the City Lord was discussing some matters with his advisor. When they noticed Yuchi standing at the door, their expressions changed suddenly.

It was like a young boy caught red-handed secretly reading a novel by his parents. The advisor, understanding the situation well, quickly excused himself. As he passed by Yuchi, he nodded and smiled, indicating that he was just a passerby and knew nothing of the situation.

The City Lord was very anxious. He couldn’t believe Yuchi managed to resolve the Yatian Sect’s issues. How could that possibly happen? It was just one person; no matter how powerful, it’s like an arm wrestling a leg. But what happened? He actually dealt with the Yatian Sect?!

A terrifying young man indeed. So why did this little ancestor suddenly appear after disappearing for so long? Could it be... he’s here to silence me?!

”You’re overthinking...”

Yuchi looked speechlessly at the terrified City Lord in front of him, showing no intention to sit down. He voluntarily said, ”Uncle, we should have a basic level of trust between us. As your nephew, how could I harm you? Do I look like a brutal person?”

Can I say yes... The City Lord blushed and stood up awkwardly, then said, ”Sir, please don’t joke with a person like me. How could I ever qualify to be your uncle? I’m just a passerby in your magnificent life, hoping you won’t hold a grudge and let me live.”

Well... that went nowhere, Yuchi thought helplessly. He then said directly, ”I came this time to inform you about a matter. If someone comes looking for me, just tell them I’ve left Diqing City for now, and I don’t know when I’ll be back.”

”People will naturally be curious, just tell them I’m a free spirit going wherever the wind takes me. Who knows, I might just suddenly return to Diqing City someday.”

”Of course, I am still a part of the Imperial Decree Department, meaning I remain your City Lordship’s nephew. I hope you can help me with that, Uncle.”

Is this forcing a relationship? But usually, it’s the small roles aiming for connections with the bigger ones. Why with Yuchi does it seem the opposite, a strong character wanting to be an ordinary person in the Imperial Decree Department? It’s simply unbelievable, the City Lord lamented.

He had no idea what Yuchi really meant, ”Alright, I’ll definitely remember that, and when people ask, I’ll say you’re my nephew.”

”Good.”

Yuchi casually asked, ”Is there no problem with South City?”

”No problem!”

The City Lord immediately replied, ”In the next few days, people from South City will be brought into our Diqing City. Preparations are underway to welcome the residents, but considering the long distance, it might take a year or two to sort everything out properly.”

”That’s fair. A year or two is better than being stuck in South City forever. So, how is the Demon-slaying Bureau doing?” Yuchi added.

”The Demon-slaying Bureau is now controlled by the Celestial Capital Department. Even the Defense Department has entered the Demon-slaying Bureau. Ninety percent of those in the Demon-slaying Bureau have already been arrested, causing quite a stir around the Great Tang Prison as well. This incident has really shaken up Diqing City.”

The City Lord spoke with great emotion. Diqing City was once stagnant, and he never imagined it would become so turbulent.

He silently added in his heart, ”It’s all thanks to this young man before me. If not for him, I wouldn’t have anything left to handle in Diqing City. Now, it’s time to deal with issues in South City.”
