Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 674 - 251: Complex South City! People from State 4! (Requesting Subscription)_4
But after three days here, judging from the information gathered, the city's plight in its current state is mainly due to Master Xuanhong.
"Naturally, besides the three kinds of children, there are also three kinds of adults in South City."
"The first kind is the innocent ones. They don't want their children to seek Master Xuanhong, and they truly have no means to leave this place with their children. All they can do is muddle through in South City, but at least they and their children aren't in immediate danger."
"The second kind is the deserving ones. They've sent their children to die with their own hands. Perhaps for them, raising children is like gambling. If luck is on their side, they rise high and almighty; if not, then it's the child's fault."
"The third kind are the beneficiaries. They can stand at the pinnacle of the world, on the highest authority of South City, but they don't dare to openly establish a hereditary rule. They send their children out of their mansions, disguised as commoners, to walk the path of the Heart Testing Stone or use others as stepping stones, 'competing fairly' with children from truly ordinary families, then soar to great heights."
Isn't this just something you see once in a lifetime?
Yuchi maintained a pretty good mindset; otherwise, he would be regurgitating over what happened during the day. Of course, the situation now isn't confined to the Immortal Tower. Yuchi needs to properly understand this man in black armor. By understanding him, he might effectively grasp the current situation in South City.
"I made him make two mistakes today. When he gets home, he should bring it up. There's a few hours before nightfall, so when night falls, I'll be a 'gentleman on the beam,' to see who they really are, especially if I can find out which sect they're from. That would be a delight."
"However, their language clearly doesn't belong to this generation. Without the help of locals, I truly can't understand what they're saying. This language is a natural barrier, and I certainly can't ask the people of South City for help. I don't want to stumble into a trap."
"So, I still need to spend some precious Dao points to return to the Ascension Gate. Since I rescued those two girls, they've been at the Ascension Gate for three days. On one hand, I want to check how they're doing. On the other hand, it seems that Qingzhu, the naive little girl, has some understanding of this language?"
Yuchi thought about his disciple Qingzhu. It seems she isn't a local; she's from the Fourth State, and she arrived at the Third State gradually via the river, after a long pursuit. So is this the language of the Fourth State?
...
In the Ascension Gate, Wei Qingzhu and Shen Qinghan were carefully brushing the dirt and grime off the two people, sitting in the lotus pond. The two girls were finally calming down.
When they first arrived at the Ascension Gate, they were at a loss and very scared, thinking they had been brought to some dark sect. But with the help of other disciples from the Ascension Gate, they gradually calmed down. They hadn't been able to rest for several days and nearly died while imprisoned in the Water Prison.
Now that there was a safe place, they slept as if oblivious to time. They had just woken up, received some food from the Ascension Gate, eaten their fill, and were cleaning the grime off their bodies.
Yuchi wasn't aware of the current situation at the Ascension Gate. Otherwise, he couldn't resist saying: "You can't bathe immediately after eating; all your blood is digesting food. If you take a hot bath now, you might faint from lack of blood flow to the brain, especially these two frail little girls."
However, Shen Qinghan kindly said, "Qingzhu, why don't you ask them what they're thinking now? They seem to be sisters, but we still don't know their names."
In the entire Ascension Gate, only Wei Qingzhu understood what the two of them were saying. The other disciples couldn't understand at all, truly couldn't understand.
This wasn't just the difference between various dialects of a past life; it was like the difference between Chinese and some minor languages, not corresponding one-to-one. They could be considered true outsiders, foreigners from another state?
Qingzhu nodded and proactively asked, "We still don't know your names?"
She then started to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with the two girls. It was evident that they were still somewhat awkward and reserved — after all, they were in someone else's sect and were letting others scrub their backs. Having just experienced life and death, their mindset hadn't fully recovered.
Finally, after Qingzhu constantly nodded and summarized in her mind, she spoke to her senior sister Shen Qinghan.
"Senior sister, they are from South City and indeed sisters. The older sister is called Jiang Eryue, and the younger is Jiang Sanqiu. The reason they ended up like this is because their mother forced them to test something."
