Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 696 - 255: Song Yinghan! Next!

The night quickly descended, and the City Lord, accompanied by Yuchi, headed directly to the largest inn in Huoqing City. The name of the inn was not significant; what mattered was that the people attending this time were all important figures. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

No heirs from families, just some bigwigs from the Four Major Institutions, with each institution sending at most two people. Originally, Yuchi's place was supposed to be taken by the Military Advisor, but the Military Advisor "wisely" chose to directly give the spot to Yuchi, thus allowing Yuchi this chance to enter the inn directly.

Upon entering the inn, people from the major institutions appeared.

The Celestial Capital Department sent two people, a chief and a deputy chief, as did the Defense Department and the Demon-slaying Bureau. So now with Yuchi, there were a total of eight people from Huoqing City's Four Major Institutions.

In addition to these eight people, there were two others, a man young and old. Yuchi did not recognize the elder, but he was momentarily bewildered by the youth, then suddenly recognized him.

"Oh my gosh, isn't this the young man who interrupted our midnight plans?" Yuchi recognized him.

"Oh my gosh, isn't this the youth who intoxicated the young lady?" The young man recognized him too.

The City Lord stood beside Yuchi, worried for his life, now preparing to introduce Yuchi to everyone according to Yuchi's arrangement, with the ultimate goal of bumping into people from the Celestial Capital Department. So, let's take it slow.

But just when the City Lord was about to say something to Yuchi, he discovered that Yuchi had already left his side. Puzzled, he noticed that Yuchi had gone over to face the other young man.

"What's going on?"

Of course, the City Lord did not understand.

Nor did the other people from Huoqing City's Four Major Institutions.

Yuchi did not know what the banquet was for, but they knew very well; it was a matchmaking gathering for the young man and another young lady.

It's essentially a union between two star observatories, although such matters are fundamentally not allowed. Marriages between observatories are prohibited to avoid incessant power collusion, but if it's between different cities, then there's no major issue.

It is said that Huoqing City's observatory is extremely distant from the other party, so this is purely a matchmaking event, and they simply came to lend some support to prevent it from being overly awkward for the two.

But what's with the Imperial Decree Department? The Imperial Decree Department sent a handsome young man in black brocade who was unfamiliar to them. He should not know anyone from the observatories, so how did he directly walk up and join forces with this youth from the observatory?

It's downright strange!

The people from the Celestial Capital Department, Demon-slaying Bureau, and Defense Department were clueless, their eyes all falling on the City Lord, who was whistling, looking at the ceiling as if praising the nice evening weather.

Everyone: "..."

Yuchi had already met with the young man, and the two moved tacitly to another side of the hall, beside a crimson beam.

The young man couldn't help himself: "You bastard turned out to be from the Imperial Decree Department, no wonder you're so cunning; you actually got the young lady drunk! I even gave you a hundred taels of silver, yet I sat there all night like a fool!"

"And the next morning, when the girl woke up, she checked herself, found no traces of a fight, and gave me that subtle look! Do you understand what that subtle look means? There's even some pity in her eyes!"

"She pitied me! It felt as if she doubted I was capable. I didn't even know how to leave that brothel; the maidservants didn't directly mock me, but their sympathetic gazes were unbearable, and the shopkeeper even approached to give me an Elixir!"

"Do you know how big a hit this was for me? You ungrateful bastard, you shouldn't have left me in the dark about such things!"

The young man ranted on extensively, and Yuchi couldn't contain his laughter.

Seeing the young man's dark face, he chuckled and said, "How was I supposed to know you went there just to chat with the girl? I thought you were taking care of business with the young lady, so I thought she'd be perfectly prepared for you, clean and innocent — isn't that ideal for you?"

"I was practically handling everything for you, and when the time came for you, you weren't happy; instead, you're blaming me? Haha, it's hard to be the good guy, isn't it?"

The young man glared instantly: "How dare you say that? You clearly went to chat with the young lady too. Otherwise, if you were purely doing business, would you have gotten her drunk? You know it's expensive here due to their vast knowledge!"

"People come here to enjoy their services, and you got the girl drunk? What, do you want to serve someone instead?"
