Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 82 - 81: Meetings are just to placate children
Chapter 82: Chapter 81: Meetings are just to placate children
Changsun Mei indeed changed into men’s clothing.
Because she felt it was completely unnecessary to show her weaknesses in front of others.
These past two days, she was busy learning some things from the Zhangsun Family, and men’s clothing was more convenient.
Now.
"Grandfather, where are you going?" Changsun Mei was reading a book in the courtyard.
"The merchant guild has summoned me." Changsun Hao was putting on his clothes.
Despite his age, he was just about to find a new concubine for his granddaughter.
Then, notice came from Xun Xian’s side.
Of course, it wasn’t just the Zhangsun Family; people from other families also felt a chill seeing Xun Xian.
Because when this fierce woman arrived, there were certainly no trivial matters.
This was a short-notice gathering.
The cross-dressing Changsun Mei, with her handsome face, was even more curious, "What does the merchant guild want this time?"
The implication was, old man, you go about your business, I’ll go.
That way, she could openly meet Yuchi.
How great.
Even the oblivious could see the excitement in Changsun Mei’s eyes. Changsun Hao smiled wryly in helplessness, "Not today."
"I estimate this is not something you can easily handle."
"In front of the merchant guild, you still lack a lot of seasoning."
The implicit meaning was clear.
Girl, don’t rush to talk to Yuchi; be careful, he’ll sell you out, and you’ll help him count the money.
This Yuchi is not such a simple person.
This is not sweet love; a misstep could lead to a break of kindred spirits.
Saying this, Changsun Hao walked briskly towards the courtyard gate, accompanied by people from other families.
Changsun Mei was left slightly displeased.
Flipping through the book in front of her, she felt that no matter how much she read, it was not as practical as going directly to talk to Yuchi.
Many issues only needed to be brought up to be more useful than books read after long toil.
"Alas!"
"I can’t be hoping for my grandfather’s demise, right?"
"I can only allow him to run around, not knowing when I might gain a new concubine myself."
With a sigh, she could only lower her head and continue reading her book.
A sudden thought emerged.
"Can he and she even have children?"
"Don’t let the family raise a wild goose in the end."
"If really so, this wild goose must be rooted out."
There was a hint of casual killing intent in Changsun Mei’s eyes, a tint of the Zhangsun family’s unique grandfather-granddaughter bond.
...
The doors of the council hall were already closed, with the Luminous Pearls on the walls casting gentle light.
On the long table.
Yuchi looked seriously at everyone in front of him.
While the family heads were puzzled, he opened with, "This is an opportunity I’ve found."
"Moreover, it is a heaven-sent chance."
He would not show his weaknesses.
If at the beginning he let others pay, while it was initially his expense, others surely wouldn’t be willing.
By changing the method, it became more acceptable.
Members of the Zhangsun Family and other families were quite puzzled.
Especially Bai Rou.
This pristine beauty, Xiang Li, sat finely beside the table, her mature face filled with curiosity.
Yuchi smiled looking at Bai Rou, who immediately lowered her head a bit, her chin slightly red.
"Let me start from the beginning."
"Our merchant guild plans to implement category ABCD regulations soon."
"The original plan was to let these things progress slowly."
"In fact, it was because we had a hard time finding an opportunity."
"But now it’s different. Amidst the incident at Hechong Village, I painstakingly found people from the Demon-slaying Bureau."
"With their help, we can legitimately establish the clothing regulations directly!"
"And the citizens will be grateful to us."
Yuchi paused here.
The five others were instantly shocked, people from the Demon-slaying Bureau?
What does it mean?
Could it be that people from the Demon-slaying Bureau are in Xufu Town?
Don’t know, when did this happen?
Didn’t see anyone from the Demon-slaying Bureau come over.
Moreover, aren’t members of the Demon-slaying Bureau hard to find?
So why was this young man’s guild president saying this?
The group looked at each other without speaking, but their gazes said everything.
Yet for a moment they didn’t know how to ask, until Bai Rou delicately extended her fair arm.
"Miss Bai, please speak," Yuchi gestured with his hand.
"Hmm."
Bai Rou stood up, appearing slightly nervous, yet extremely happy.
Not to mention anything else, just being addressed as Miss Bai by Yuchi was quite delightful!
At least it wasn’t Aunt Bai!
That means she was still quite young.
Getting back to the topic, she gently licked her rosy lips, revealing a pair of sparkling white bunny teeth.
Her chin moved slightly as she looked at Yuchi ten feet away and said, "President Yu, are there people from the Demon-slaying Bureau in Xufu Town right now?"
"Yes," Yuchi replied straightforwardly, "Right across from the merchant guild, in the government office, waiting for our good news."
"Is that so!"
Bai Rou and others immediately looked towards the door. Although a door blocked their view, they seemed to be able to see through it!
Could it really be true!
Are the Demon-slaying Bureau people really in the government office!
Then why are they here?
And how did Yuchi manage it?
Yuchi maintained a composed smile as he looked at the woman’s skilled sitter, his heart racing.
To tell the truth, with such women, one must be extremely cautious.
Severely lacking in love could easily turn clingy.
Yuchi profoundly stated, "As you all know, it is indeed rare to encounter people from the Demon-slaying Bureau."
"I also exerted many covert efforts to find them, masquerading it as a serendipitous meeting."
"Thus leveraging the Demon-slaying Bureau, Celestial Capital Department, Imperial Decree Department, and Defense Department, the four major institutions."
"We can instantly elevate the merchant guild’s reputation to a peak."
"Moreover, we can take this opportunity to implement the merchant guild’s regulations."
"After all..."
"The shops of the Cloud Mountain Sect pose some danger to us, and we have no reason to engage with them slowly."
"They wish to eliminate us, so we should preemptively strike."
"Otherwise, if events turn unfavorable, we may face complete annihilation."
Yuchi stood with a standard large machete in his left hand, and a bouquet in his right hand.
Using a stick followed by a piece of candy.
He wanted to shift their focus away from simply having them pay...
To now having the chance to pay!
He wanted them to understand that not everyone could pay; being able to pay was something Yuchi painstakingly managed to secure.
Weary.
It was like coaxing children.
The same logic applied, it all boiled down to Yuchi’s acting skills.
"When did I become so greasy?" Yuchi clicked his tongue.
Bai Rou felt stunned.
The other four families, including Zhangsun Hao from the Zhangsun Family, observed Yuchi with utmost seriousness.
To put it crudely, their president was truly impressive!
While they were idling and gossiping at home, he managed to accomplish so much!
Mind you, they were just discussing at home whether the Hechong Village stronghold could be recovered.
Just when this matter was confirmed, Yuchi had already brought up another issue.
It was indeed one surprise after another!
Sadly, Yuchi wasn’t one of their own, otherwise, it would have been perfect.
"So, I shall now lay out a basic arrangement," Yuchi began to speak slowly.
Everyone stood ready to follow orders.
There wasn’t a single trace of malice, almost like obedient little babies.
Even Ximo wasn’t this obedient.
"I have already negotiated with the Demon-slaying Bureau; originally Xufu Town required forty thousand taels of silver to clear out the demon pests entirely."
"Therefore, by only spending twenty thousand taels of silver, we can provide a full demon plague assessment for all the citizens of Xufu Town."
"And as for the money," Yuchi skimmed over the matter, holding their attention.
Though the representatives from other families exchanged brief looks of unfamiliarity, they quickly nodded.
Most likely, they had heard about it.
The demonic plague results when demons live among humans. While Xufu Town might have such a plague,
is that the key point though?
