CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 170: THE SITUATION OF BEING SQUEEZED FROM 2 SIDES (REQUESTING SUBSCRIPTION)_3

"Okay." Wei Qingzhu nodded, and amidst the bows and salutes of the other members of the Wei Family, she walked with Xun Xian into the Wei Mansion.

Watching the girl stumble as she walked, Xun Xian took the initiative to hold her arm, teasingly saying:

"Qingzhu, do you know your own Spirit Root? If you have one for training, I can teach you cultivation."

"Though I myself might not be extremely powerful, at least I’m a cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."

"I can’t necessarily offer you clear guidance, but I can certainly help you start your journey in cultivation."

"In the future, riding a carriage won’t be as miserable as it is now!"

Xun Xian had just glanced inside the carriage.

Although there were cushions visible on both sides of the seats, there were still traces of blood.

Looking at Wei Qingzhu’s clearly weakened state, it seemed she was experiencing a difficult time.

Cultivation helps alleviate pain and strengthens the body.

"No need, thank you." Wei Qingzhu shook her head.

So decisive...

"Alright then, get some rest. I’ll call you for dinner later."

"Hmm."

After sending Wei Qingzhu back to her courtyard, Xun Xian wandered around the Wei Mansion.

Seeing many unfamiliar faces moving about, the smile on Xun Xian’s face grew.

"Xufu Town is still such a nice place; a town not exaggerated in any way."

"Although the population is considerable, it’s nowhere near as noisy as Jiangzhou City."

"Jiangzhou City is so noisy, it’s unbearable."

"Honestly, now living in Jiangzhou City."

"Apart from a few more places of entertainment, I can’t see any benefits of living in Jiangzhou City."

"Xufu Town has schools and clinics too."

Walking along, thinking casually.

Suddenly, Xun Xian felt something was amiss.

She quickly turned her head to glance towards Wei Qingzhu’s courtyard: "Just now..."

"Did she just say ’no need’?"

"Does that mean she doesn’t need me to teach her cultivation, or does it mean she doesn’t want to cultivate at all?"

Instantly filled with curiosity.

If she simply didn’t want to cultivate, that wouldn’t be an issue.

Cultivating is cumbersome and costly in gold and silver; not everyone wants to pursue it.

Life in Xufu Town is already pretty enjoyable, there’s no need.

But if she doesn’t want me to teach her cultivation, it suggests she still has a Spirit Root.

A person with a Spirit Root hidden within the Wei Family?

"Hmm..."

"Anyway, Qingzhu’s Spirit Root shouldn’t be exceptionally strong."

"Judging by her calm demeanor, her talent is at most two or three grades."

"Can’t compare to me."

...

Another courtyard in the Wei Family.

Little Ximo lay in Wei Yuan’s arms, squirming around, causing the classical little beauty to mumble helplessly.

"Uncle still hasn’t come back. He’s still in Jiangzhou City!"

"When is he coming back?"

"I miss Uncle!"

Indeed, earlier when Little Ximo was being taught by the tutor in the Wei Mansion, her ears perked up.

She immediately heard other members of the Wei Family saying someone from Jiangzhou City had returned, with the carriage outside.

Then Little Ximo quickly left the tutor behind, leaving him bewildered in the wind.

She cheerfully waddled with her little legs to the door.

But apart from two stone lions, there was no sight of her longed-for uncle.

Upon inquiry...

Her uncle hadn’t returned at all; he was still in Jiangzhou City...

Hope arose, then hope shattered instantly, and Little Ximo’s mood crumbled.

The tutor wanted to take her back to continue her studies, but what did Little Ximo do?

Study? Study what!?

She refused, skilfully found her Yuan’er sister, and went off to act spoiled.

Wei Yuan felt the little girl in her arms wriggling like a bug, her face flushed.

"This embrace belongs to your uncle, not you."

"Don’t... don’t move."

...

Jiangzhou City, Yuchi went back and forth several times.

Since Xun Yu’s matter temporarily settled, he spent the subsequent days dining.

During the day, he dined with people from the Zhou Family, and at night, Zhou Xinnian privately invited him for dinner.

By noon the next day, someone from the Defense Department came, the newly arrived head, proactively establishing a good relationship with Yuchi.

After dining and visiting the Drunken Joy Tavern to listen to courtesans perform, the day passed.

Conversation was lighthearted.

On the third day at noon, the Celestial Capital Department.

On the fourth day at noon, the Demon-slaying Bureau.

On the fifth day at noon, the Imperial Decree Department.

On the sixth day at noon, people from the Four Major Institutions, along with Yuchi, watched the courtesan at the Drunken Joy Tavern.

By the seventh day at noon, Yuchi finally checked out, finally able to leisurely ride a horse back to Xufu Town.

Upon leaving the city gate, Yuchi’s legs were about to give way.

Fortunately, he is a Core Formation Stage cultivator, otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived the intense sequence of meals during these days.

Simple meals are manageable, but the challenging part was those ladies at the Drunken Joy Tavern; that was truly difficult.

Additionally, many ladies secretly expressed their feelings, asking Yuchi to rescue them from the tavern and buy their freedom.

Faced with such dual pressures, Yuchi truly struggled to come out unscathed.

"No wonder in my past life many men liked getting foot massages..."

"But if they had to go every day, it probably wouldn’t be bearable either."
