CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 156 THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING (FOUR UPDATES FOR MONTHLY PASS)

In Jiangzhou City, there was a strong misunderstanding between Yuchi and Song Yinghan.

To Yuchi, Song Yinghan was just a little fan of his.

Her overall style of dressing was quite similar to his own, almost holding an Immortal Sword.

Thus, Yuchi was very relaxed now, with no inner turmoil.

Since others had invited him to take a few steps, he too took a few steps, considering he wasn’t sick.

It was just the right opportunity to give Qingzhu and Xun Xian time together, hoping Xun Xian could chat with Qingzhu about all sorts of matters for him.

For Song Yinghan, however, the misunderstanding was indeed exaggerated.

She hadn’t expected to encounter a colleague of hers in Jiangzhou City.

Originally, she thought she was the only one dispatched here by the higher-ups.

But upon seeing him now, his demeanor from head to toe, front and back, was completely the style of the Celestial Capital Department.

The entire person exuded calmness, with an air of determination in him, and moreover, he didn’t have any fear of her.

But as for that mask...

That mask looked somewhat inferior, seemingly different from the masks made by the Celestial Capital Department.

It could only be said to be eighty percent similar.

"The weather’s getting cooler." Amid the admiring gazes of the passersby, Song Yinghan suddenly spoke up.

"Cool water tastes good." Yuchi calmly replied.

"The weather’s getting warmer." Song Yinghan tensed up and continued.

"Warm water is comforting." Yuchi again responded calmly.

After replying, he glanced at the exposed part of the woman’s neck beside him.

The little neck looked so nice, and the sensation of biting it would probably be really nice, but did this woman have such a preference?

He’d just heard her speaking this way to the shopkeeper, and now she was saying such things to him?

Could it be that this is some unique leisure interest exclusive to women?

People in Jiangzhou City really know how to play.

"Sure enough, you’re a senior, although it seems like something is wrong with your mask?"

"Is it damaged?"

Looking at Yuchi, Song Yinghan asked further:

"If it’s damaged, it needs to be reported back immediately."

"This type of mask often represents our identity."

"Even if others don’t know, encountering some special people, this mask can help us avoid a lot of troublesome matters."

Simply put, you can wear this type of mask, but don’t let it be so inferior.

It might fool others, but it won’t fool me.

"The mask..."

"What do you mean?" Yuchi suddenly realized something seemed off.

He began to take the situation more seriously and started observing carefully.

After walking together for over a dozen steps, the woman’s posture was truly commendable.

In addition to her posture, Yuchi also noticed something he hadn’t before.

First, the woman’s cultivation should be quite formidable.

This could be seen by the way she walked on loose soil without leaving footprints, and her breath was particularly gentle.

Furthermore, she wore this kind of mask, the material of which seemed quite something.

This White Fox Mask appeared almost ceremonial, yet carried some strange aura?

Adding to this were the nonsensical things the woman had mentioned?

Based on the plot routine in stories.

Ordinary riddle people either die on the spot or are the masterminds behind the scenes.

After carefully examining her, Yuchi thought this woman might be the latter.

A big shot.

Secondly, mentioning the mask... the mask... hmm... Yuchi suddenly remembered something.

There was a reason Yuchi chose this type of mask.

Shortly after arriving in Jiangzhou City, he had eaten with people from the Celestial Capital Department in private.

At that time, he had also encountered Chen Weiran from the Celestial Capital Department.

Considering the other party was from the Celestial Capital Department, Yuchi naturally took out the token Chen Guangsheng had given him before.

Which was a Familiar Copper Mask.

He was hoping to build some connections, and Chen Weiran was naturally taken aback for a moment.

Then he pulled out another mask from his chest and explained some of the mask affiliations of the Celestial Capital Department to Yuchi.

The Familiar Copper Mask was a kind of token.

Having the Familiar Copper Mask allowed participation in the Celestial Capital Department’s assessments.

Once one passed the assessment and became the most basic officer, they would be awarded a Profound Iron Mask.

Subsequently, becoming a Crown Master meant getting a Refined Steel Mask.

Then the Duke was represented by a Silver Mask, and reaching the Great Heaven level would mean progressing to a White Fox Mask, while the Heavenly Inspection level was represented by a Black Armor Mask.

For this reason, Yuchi had purchased a White Fox Mask from a mask shop.

Thinking it might make him look a bit more formal, he hadn’t thought much into it afterward and had barely worn it.

He wore the mask this morning because...

He hadn’t washed his face.

Looking at the White Fox Mask on the woman’s face now, what?

Was her cultivation at the Great Heaven level? Not even a Duke?

The Duke relative to Xun Xian’s Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Great Heaven was akin to the Golden Patrol, akin to someone of Xun Yu’s level, and in the same major realm as Yuchi himself, the Core Formation Stage.

"Oh shit!"

"Did I just hook a pure Celestial Capital Department Great Heaven beauty by fishing?"

Thoughts quickly churned.

Then, under Song Yinghan’s curious and puzzled gaze, he smoothly removed his own mask.

"The lady is wise."

Yuchi gave a faint smile, looked at Song Yinghan, and then also took out the Familiar Copper Mask from his chest.

Then he said profoundly: "No matter the mask, the one that fits you is the best mask."

Hmm.

Is that so.

Listening to your words is better than reading a hundred scrolls.
