Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses Chapter 705 256 Uncle Really Knows How to Joke! Just 2 or 3

Yuchi wiped the tea off his face and said with a smile:

"To be honest, right now you are one of the people in the world who knows best, and as an outsider, you understand the most. The people who knew my things before, I trusted them completely. They wouldn't reveal my secrets to the outside, so just as you said, I am a cultivator in a mortal shell."

"So if my secrets get exposed, I'll co find you directly. Then we'll have a good chat about why you decided to share my secrets with others."

"You must protect my secrets, promise , okay?" Yuchi asked kindly.

City Lord: "..."

A threat! This is a blatant threat! What did I do to deserve this? I just took a tiny bit of gold and silver from the Imperial Decree Departnt, just a tiny bit greedy, but I also did so actual work. Is this my retribution? Is this the punishnt I'm facing?

No!

Almost in tears, the City Lord took a deep breath as he looked at the kind young man in front of him. "Nephew, you're just joking. As my nephew, we're family, how could I tell the family's matters outside? I don't want my whole clan to be executed."

"Yes, we're all family." Yuchi chuckled, pouring his uncle another cup of tea.

The City Lord drank down the tea, his smile both sweet and bitter.

Secrets...

I don't want to know secrets; I just want to be greedy.

And this boy is truly a devil, a devil in the guise of a kind child. Whenever he speaks, it's so exaggerated. Having such a good relationship with soone like this is like being a companion to a tiger.

"I need to go burn incense."

"Hmm."

...

As he watched the City Lord leave, Yuchi's face gradually cald.

"I didn't need to tell him about this at all, but in this situation, I had to tell him nevertheless."

Yuchi's reason for doing this was quite simple.

Song Qingshan has arrived.

With Song Qingshan's arrival, Yuchi's secrets couldn't be kept anyway. If soone really wanted to investigate Yuchi, they could learn about his background through Song Qingshan and find out everything about him. So he needed to plan ahead.

That's why he decided to tell the City Lord, and this was the reason.

If the other party can keep the secret, it doesn't matter—it's like the secret wasn't revealed at all, which is a very calm result.

But if the other party were forced to tell the secret to hidden enemies, at least it wouldn't show contempt for him. At least this matter could sowhat prevent attacks from the other party, avoiding danger from the source.

"This is completely different from business transactions. In business, having a mortal identity is the best. Many tis, dealing with sects can catch them off guard."

"But when things go beyond business, it becos mutual slaughter."

"So the stronger I am, the more unfathomable I am, the less likely they are to target . Otherwise, if the enemy saw as a re mortal and decided to target my family in Xufu Town, it would be a case of being too clever for their own good. When true enemies co, I need to have so deterrence at least. When they see my 'retaliation,' they'll think twice before making a move."

These maneuvers are not perfect, nor flawless, but they are the best choices at the mont.

"After all, my father-in-law is truly a con-man!"

"Who knew this guy would be so toxic?"

"In the future, Xun Xian's poisonous milk title should just go to my father-in-law!"

Yuchi felt helpless; his father-in-law was a perfect example of stepping on landmines. Sending his daughter to Jiangzhou City led to him eting Song Yinghan, sending her to Canglan City improved their relationship, sending her to the Immortal Sect competition caused them to get intimate, and sending her to Diqing City led to the current situation.

"Apart from being aweso, I can't express my feelings. This old man is like a diamond player in the poisonous milk league, truly strong and terrifying."

In a bitter smile.

The next guest had already arrived.

...

This was soone from the Celestial Capital Departnt, the head of the Departnt.

But now Yuchi had no intention of having heartfelt talks with these people, a simple brush-off would do. Anyway, he just said he was from the Imperial Decree Departnt, the City Lord's nephew, and hoped that these prominent figures would look after each other as he developed well in Diqing City.

As for others like those from the Demon-slaying Bureau, the answers were the sa.

In the end, when everything was over, each group received different answers, but each got what they most wanted to know, "except the City Lord."

The helpless City Lord: "At least he has a conscience!"
