Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 756 - 265: Zong Qingkuang! Zong Qianqun!
Night fell.
Yuchi had already found the location of Wanjian Manor, which wasn't placed directly in Tiesi City. According to the conversations with little Yi Jun during the day, Yuchi learned that the Manor Master of Wanjian Manor here seems to have a bad relationship with the Defense Department of Tiesi City, completely disregarding Tiesi City's commerce, starting anew.
Wanjian Manor itself is a massive estate. Its land area is unknown, but the Manor has over 1,300 disciples, approximately three times the size of the current Wei Family.
This represents significant power for a manor that attracts loose cultivators. Considering that this Wanjian Manor is just a branch and the true Wanjian Manor is an entire entity, it shows the Manor is indeed strong.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Yuchi was finally tempted and felt the impulse to buy Yi Jun out. Initially, he thought he didn't lack people, but later reconsidered. Although the Ascension Gate doesn't lack people, the commercial guild does, especially since the Immortal Robe Pavilion probably lacks personnel. If Yi Jun could be placed at the Immortal Robe Pavilion, her knowledge would certainly benefit it. However, it boils down to one thing…
The price is just too high.
Is Yi Jun good? Good! Does Yi Jun know a lot? Yes! Is Yi Jun clean? Clean! But you can't look at these things without considering the price. In this world, even love is priced in gold and silver, let alone such matters. Spending 50,000 taels of silver on Yi Jun, she's really unlikely to hold such value in the Immortal Robe Pavilion.
Not to mention this is just his own thought; Yi Jun came for the Immortal Sword, a matter devised by Uncle Yuchi himself. And she's doing well at Wutao Pavilion; if placed in the Immortal Robe Pavilion, she might find it exhausting.
This is a very practical matter.
So even though Yuchi gained a lot today, and Yi Jun discussed many things he'd never seen before, deepening his understanding of this world, they even extended the time in their meeting. The maids were amazed; it was the first time in years anyone extended their time, especially with Yi Jun!
For now, he's calmed down. Although he feels some compassion, patience wins in the end.
"So why did the Pavilion Master of Wutao Pavilion arrange to meet me at Wanjian Manor?"
Yuchi didn't understand. The Pavilion Master of Wutao Pavilion…
Hmm, she should be a rather remarkable woman, quite clever. At least, she could easily agree to his requests. However, he didn't know if the Pavilion Master would charge a fee, or if it would be expensive?
"It shouldn't be too expensive. If she truly wished to make money, many men would flock to offer her money with just a word from her, but she seems indifferent. So, she might not be lacking in silver, or perhaps she doesn't intend to acquire it in such a manner."
Yuchi nodded. She did not specify exactly where to meet, only mentioned Wanjian Manor. Now, he stood on a small bridge outside the Manor, where passersby were scarce, incomparable to Tiesi City or even Xufu Town; it was more like the traffic of small villages.
There were people, but very few.
As for time…
"Is this woman a night owl? Meeting at midnight, unless she's a vampire."
Time passed as Yuchi waited. As midnight approached, Wanjian Manor had already closed its doors, and soon he found himself alone on the small bridge. Cold fish randomly slapped against his cheeks. Yuchi tossed a white fish back into the water as it leapt out.
At this moment, someone approached him, a disciple from Wanjian Manor. A male disciple carrying a night lamp spoke to Yuchi: "Friend, if you have nowhere to go, why not come and rest at our Wanjian Manor? It's so cold, and it looks like snow is coming."
This is the generosity of great powers. Yuchi smiled and shook his head: "No need, I'm waiting for someone. She said she would come at midnight, and now it's less than half an hour until then."
"Ah, waiting for someone." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The male disciple understood and offered a slight bow: "The doors of Wanjian Manor are always open for you. If anything disheartening happens later, feel free to come to Wanjian Manor. We provide free accommodation and meals. You can stay for a few days."
Yuchi smiled and nodded: "Alright!"
He also bowed in return: "Please, carry on. I'm fine alone. If I need any help, I won't hesitate to go to Wanjian Manor and find you."
"Sure!"
The male disciple left, glancing back repeatedly, shaking his head: Humph, likely to be stood up by a lady again. Why would a woman choose to come out at midnight, and why outside our Wanjian Manor for that? Are we going to rejoice by jumping in the river together?
