Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 698 - 255: Song Yinghan! Next One! _3

"Hahaha!" laughed Shangguan Congwen.

"You're such a jerk," Yuchi said speechlessly.

"We're in the same boat, all of us!"

Shangguan Congwen said excitedly, "You're being threatened by your father-in-law, and the girl I like is being threatened by her father-in-law too! It's the same situation. She's powerless against the threats from our Stargazing Platform just as I am!"

"My heart is shattered. I always feel like I can't protect her and that my existence is a mistake. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be facing threats to her life and wouldn't be crying every day. I even thought about ending my own life before. If I hadn't appeared at a crucial moment, she and I would be separated by life and death now."

"It's really painful for me."

The two of them sat in silence, each respectfully drinking a cup of tea.

Yuchi rinsed his mouth with tea and gulped it down before suggesting:

"You could just go all the way with her. After all, you both like each other. Once she has your child, what will your dad be able to say then?"

Shangguan Congwen nodded, a bit embarrassed, his face turning red, "I already tried that, but I seem to have some issues on that front, or maybe I'm just unlucky. We tried twice, and she almost died, but there was never a child. I don't know what to do."

"Oh," Yuchi replied.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of sympathy for Shangguan Congwen.

Shangguan Congwen scratched his head awkwardly and continued:

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Aren't you and that female cultivator deeply in love as well? She should be willing, right? Having a child with her should be quite simple, as female cultivators usually have control over such things. If she wants your child, she can definitely have one."

Yuchi felt a bit sweaty listening to this and also scratched his head, "It's not the same for me. Though we've been happy together, more than just once or twice, her father is too fierce. If she really had a child, he wouldn't mind making the child an orphan."

"Oh," Shangguan Congwen responded.

He suddenly felt a wave of sympathy for Yuchi.

The two didn't know what to say next, so they just kept pouring each other tea, drinking cup after cup. Their foreheads were clouded with frustration, utterly helpless.

...

Not far away.

"What's going on?" asked a Defense Department official, walking up to the City Lord. "Who's that young man?"

"He's my nephew. I originally wanted to introduce him to you all, as he intends to develop in our Diqing City." The City Lord said awkwardly.

"I see, but why does your nephew have such a good relationship with someone from the Stargazing Platform? These two seem to know each other well, like long-lost friends, as they keep drinking tea and sharing their inner pain." The Golden Patrol from the Defense Department couldn't understand.

"I... I don't know either!"

The City Lord was almost in tears.

Now he wondered if Yuchi was just there to amuse him, claiming to be an outsider and a passerby, but having such good relations with the Stargazing Platform and drinking tea with Shangguan Congwen seemed way too exaggerated!

For a mortal, it's almost impossible to have a cultivator friend. Cultivators are really arrogant and often can't stand an idle chat.

"So who on earth are you?"

"What exactly are you planning to do in our Diqing City?"

The City Lord was caught in a state of helplessness and confusion, unable to figure out who Yuchi really was.

Shangguan Congwen's father was the most puzzled.

What's up with this? How could his child get so close to a mortal, especially one from the Imperial Decree Department? What, has he met an old friend?

It just didn't make sense; his child doesn't get along well with everyone.

But after thinking about it, he didn't object. It's just talking to a mortal, which doesn't matter. As for any unexpected twists, how could that be possible?

They'll just forget whatever was said soon enough.

Meanwhile, with Yuchi and Shangguan Congwen. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The two had no idea how much tea they drank or how much frustration they shared. Finally, as Shangguan Congwen put down his teacup, he mused, "Alright, Yuchi, tell me the name of the cultivator you like, and I'll help you out. Even if I can't be with the girl I like, I hope you can!"

He truly was a good person, but Yuchi couldn't reveal Song Yinghan's name at that moment. The main issue was that she belonged to the Stargazing Platform, and mentioning her name could create problems.

"Thank you very much, but my situation is really complicated and hard to handle. I don't want to involve you in any trouble," Yuchi responded.
