CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 165 A DRAMA (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION)

In the afternoon, the weather in Jiangzhou City became even more gloomy.

Even though the rain in the sky didn’t increase, this kind of drizzle surely wouldn’t end anytime soon.

"This dripping rain in the sky is just like my nightly trips in my previous life, going drip-drip endlessly."

Yuchi mumbled as he left Jiangzhou City.

Outside Jiangzhou City, at a small post station that not many people knew about, preparations were complete.

A temporary Demon-Revealing Array successfully emerged, set up by Yuan Tiangang of the Demon-slaying Bureau.

The post station was cleared, bystanders had been removed, and testing began according to the previously agreed procedure.

The testing procedure itself was very simple.

"All of this feels like a performance."

Let’s take Xun Xian as an example for the procedure.

She was the first to undergo the demon plague test, entering a room during the test.

Inside the room, there was a Demon-Revealing Array placed on the floor, much smaller in size than the one in Xufu Town.

The array in the tiny room could test only one person at a time for the demon plague.

Then, the formation started working, Xun Xian stood inside the array and waited quietly for half a breath.

As long as the array showed no anomalies, it meant Xun Xian had no issues.

The same testing method applied to the other officials.

After Yuchi did a quick test, there were only four people left in the room with the Demon-Revealing Array.

Yuchi, Song Yinghan, Xun Xian, and Chen Weiran.

The four looked at the scene, with the Demon-Revealing Array operating repeatedly, able to test a person in about one breath.

By around three in the afternoon, everyone from Jiangzhou City’s institutions had passed the Demon-Revealing Array test.

No one was "caught" as a monster on the spot, all completed under Xun Xian’s watchful eyes.

Finally.

The last batch of people also left the post station, which now had a transient feeling.

In the now empty small rooms, there were only these four left.

A line of oiled paper umbrellas left, the officials returned to the city one by one.

At this moment, in a shop full of messy footprints.

"Yuchi, see, I told you before, there’s no such thing as monsters in Jiangzhou City."

"This matter itself isn’t logical, so now you believe what I said, right?"

"As for the threatening monsters you mentioned, who would dare be so bold?"

Standing before Yuchi, Xun Xian was quite pleased.

Usually, she couldn’t do much about this man Yuchi.

Now there was finally a chance to prove Yuchi wrong, so she certainly seized it.

In the friendly teasing between friends, Xun Xian felt very satisfied.

She looked over at the honest young man standing nearby, "So, convinced this time?"

"I am completely convinced."

"Miss Xun’s judgment on this matter is indeed impressive."

"It was a miscalculation on my part."

Feeling the warmth of big sister Song Yinghan beside him, Yuchi smiled and said:

"So in the end, the matter of Jiangzhou City was resolved, I was overthinking it."

"The world is much simpler than I imagined, how could there possibly be monsters in Jiangzhou City?"

"I really should have listened to Miss Xun earlier, to downplay the matter and let it go."

"This time, I acted too impulsively, causing trouble for so long, making the four of you busy along with me."

Looking at the heads of the Four Major Institutions standing before him, Yuchi bowed and apologized: "I’m sorry, sirs."

The few were caught off guard by Yuchi’s apology.

"It’s nothing!"

"We know President Yuchi was thinking of our Jiangzhou City citizens!"

"We’re still willing to set up the Demon-Revealing Array."

Chen Weiran was the first to come around, glancing at Yuchi, then at Xun Xian beside him.

"Indeed, President Yuchi, don’t let this weigh on your mind!"

"These are small matters!"

"Since they are small matters, we shouldn’t dwell too much on them, let bygones be bygones."

Yuan Tiangang quickly chimed in, also sneaking a look at Xun Xian.

"Xun Xian, there’s no need to stress over this."

"Be it right or wrong, sometimes we need that serious mindset, you know?"

"If we don’t take things seriously sometimes, big problems can arise."

Xun Yu sincerely admonished Xun Xian.

With the three stepping up to support Yuchi, Xun Xian was quite surprised; since when were Jiangzhou City’s institutions so kind?

Then a voice drifted in.

"President Yuchi... impressive," the nameless City Lord awkwardly chimed in.

He was quite shocked!

He didn’t know the actual situation before.

So when he learned there were no monsters in Jiangzhou City, he just wanted a chance to gripe about Yuchi.

At least this guy caused trouble for the Imperial Decree Department to cover. Mind you, setting up a Demon-Revealing Array costs money!

Moreover, you, this guy, are just the president of the United Commerce Association.

It’s still us who had to send people to communicate with the Defense Department to have Xun Xian protect you.

So the first time you come to our Jiangzhou City, you cause such a big stir? Deserved a beating!
