Chapter 1084: Chapter 318: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (1)_5
Yin Shuang nodded: "Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable like this? Can’t cry out, can’t curse out, can’t hit out, everything has to be kind? So when one day you feel very uncomfortable in your heart, won’t it suddenly collapse? Don’t they feel heartache?"
Yuchi stood by the roadside, lighting a cigarette that didn’t exist: "There’s no way. This is life. Pursuing a good life by force must be at the expense of character. The development of the world cannot accommodate so many characters, and if those in power are foolish, the world will be worse."
"So when I’m telling you this, I don’t want you to become a woman like the Courtesan. It’s not necessary. You don’t need to think about outsiders all the time. Just laugh if you’re happy, cry if you’re sad, and make a fuss if you’re dissatisfied. Anyway, I’m here to shield you from what’s ahead, who came to this world to suffer?"
"Be happy, it’s definitely right."
Yin Shuang was incredibly moved, just as she was about to praise Yuchi, Yuchi blurted out: "After all, you’ll never measure up to the Courtesan, give it up. A stone is just a stone, how can it become gold!"
Yin Shuang: "..."
I’ll bite you to death!
...
After a stick of incense, Yuchi, with his battered fingers, touched his nose, sitting in a guest room of an inn on this street. He looked out the window at the street, where there were people of all sorts, men, women, and those of undistinguishable gender.
"Just talked to the Courtesan about a lot of things, gained quite a bit."
"There are ways to make money. Aside from accepting commissions, you can also be a Guest Minister for some major families."
The so-called Guest Minister is a very simple thing. For example, if Yuchi is an elder or a disciple in a sect, he can choose to affiliate himself with a family. When the family has nothing to do, he doesn’t need to show up. It’s a simple affiliation so other families know there’s such a person, allegedly becoming the family’s backing.
Once the family encounters trouble, he has to stand up and help the family.
"Affiliation is a very simple way for cultivators to manifest their strength. Many cultivators do this. The requirements for the cultivators themselves are relatively high. After all, although the term Guest Minister exists, not all cultivators can join a family as a Guest Minister."
"It still depends on one’s own strength, and also the size of the family. Large families certainly won’t pay attention to minor cultivators."
Yuchi is currently at the sixth stage of the Golden Core. According to the Courtesan’s introduction, a cultivator like him in the Golden Core Stage can earn at least ten thousand silver a year. This seems not much but it’s basically free silver, doesn’t need to show up, just come over to collect the money annually, really saying conflicts between these major families are almost impossible.
"Should I choose to affiliate with a major family?"
"..."
"Certainly not."
Yuchi shook his head. To be honest, ten thousand silver is just like that. Although it’s free, to him, this money fundamentally cannot change anything. The Ascension Gate now consumes seven to eighty thousand silver a month, not to mention the saying of elevation in the gate’s realm."
Ten thousand silver a year, a hundred thousand in ten years, for this he still needs to expose his cultivation level, and considering that if something really happens, it’s not a small matter, so no matter how you think about it, this isn’t considered a wise decision."
Of course, besides affiliation, there are other methods, but after considering them thoroughly, these are not long-term strategies either.
Yin Shuang was sitting opposite Yuchi at this moment, mimicking Yuchi, sipping tea slowly, but still thought this stuff was bad, or rather quite unpleasant, with a strong grassy taste, not even pleasant to smell, and some leaves entered the mouth, very bitter.
And just as Yin Shuang prepared to rant about this to Yuchi, she noticed Yuchi’s gaze had locked onto a corner of the street.
Huh, what’s going on? Did he see a beauty?
Yin Shuang immediately craned her neck, looking out the window following Yuchi’s gaze, and upon closer inspection, found Yuchi staring at a middle-aged man.
At first, she couldn’t believe it, but after looking at Yuchi, and then at the middle-aged man, looking at Yuchi and then at the middle-aged man several times, she finally confirmed Yuchi’s gaze was indeed on this middle-aged man’s body, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Could it be that Brother Yuchi doesn’t spare men either!" Yin Shuang said in horror.
"No."
Yuchi’s expression gradually became strange, seeing someone rather familiar before him. It was a middle-aged man, dressed in sect clothing, currently standing outside Yunxiang Pavilion talking to someone, occasionally showing an expression of agreement.
"Who is he?" Yuchi couldn’t confirm for a moment, but he was sure he knew this man, and this man definitely had spoken to him before.
