Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

To wait for the so-called "friends from Jiangzhou City" to be mentioned later, only for the Jade Pendant to be discovered as fake in the end.

This is really a case of fate's dirty tricks!

And Changsun Hao's sour expression finally emerged, as he sarcastically said:

"President Yuchi, is this the relationship you've established in Jiangzhou City?"

"Are you expecting these people to help us?"

"Really?"

Yuchi replied in a dumbfounded manner: "Yes, he said he is the City Lord of Jiangzhou City and promised to help us."

After saying this, he clearly saw the smirks appearing on the faces of five people.

It was a kind of ridicule.

Oh my, the "City Lord of Jiangzhou City" with godlike endorsement, why don't you write "Emperor of Kyushu"?

Not even a name written down!

"Then do you know what the City Lord of Jiangzhou City is called?" Changsun Hao pressed.

"I don't know." Yuchi said honestly, how would he know?

"Exactly, just because someone claims to be the City Lord of Jiangzhou City, does that make him the City Lord?"

"I might as well say I'm the Emperor of Kyushu, so I'm indeed the Emperor of Kyushu?"

"President Yuchi, this time you really got it wrong."

After Changsun Hao finished speaking, he laughed heartily while drinking his tea.

Oh, tonight is really delightful.

I wondered why Yuchi was showing off so much, turns out he claimed to know someone in Jiangzhou City.

But it was all a load of crap!

Yuchi hesitated for quite a while, amidst the crowd's various covert snickers, still appearing somewhat skeptical, said:

"But he clearly agreed to help me!"

"He said this matter has already been resolved for me!"

"This couldn't be fake, could it?"

As Yuchi spoke, his expression turned into panic.

The crowd's expressions: "… Did you just realize?"

"Even though I told you the matter had already been resolved, you just won't believe me!" Yuchi was almost crying.

The crowd's thoughts: "Believe my foot! Believe in someone like this?"

"Impossible, you all saw the letter just now."

"He even invited me to visit Jiangzhou City."

"Could this possibly be fake?"

At this point, Yuchi pursued further.

Changsun Hao stifled his laughter: "He's just after your money."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi's expression was like a person waking from a dream, suddenly pleading, saying: "I beg you all, trust me!"

The crowd: "…"

Trust a scammer selling such jade stones? Believe you have good relations with the City Lord?

This is the City Lord of Jiangzhou City, do you think you can build connections with him, Yuchi?

That's impossible.

You're overthinking this.

Really just naive and harmless, taken in a bad way, this is downright foolish!

Seeing the crowd unmoved, Yuchi anxiously said:

"Trust me, the matter in Xufu Town has truly been resolved."

"That's the truth."

"Believe me, don't cast me aside for a single mistake; I'm a good person."

The crowd rolled their eyes, said nothing, and internally scoffed, "Oh."

"…"

Then, in the room, eyes widened at each other.

"Miss Bai, you trust me, right?"

"You believe I've resolved the matter, right?"

"You trust I have connections in Jiangzhou City, right, you believe I've united the Four Major Institutions, right?"

"Right?"

"Right?"

"Answer me." Yuchi's pathetic, pitiful demeanor fell onto Bai Rou's face, as he wanted to see Bai Rou's expression.

But Bai Rou couldn't bear to watch, nor hear anymore.

"President, I want to believe you, but how can I possibly trust someone like that."

"Such a person is obviously a fraud."

"They surely coordinated as a team to trick you into this."

"We, in business, have all dealt with scammers. We often refrain from speaking publicly because we know how crafty they are."

"You were indeed deceived this time."

The entire conference room was filled with a peculiar joy.

Honestly, I want to laugh heartily, but I can't bring myself to do it.

This version of Yuchi, the youthful form, I really adore, but where did the clever Yuchi go?

Is it true, as Changsun Hao and others said, that he's become cocky, and forgot he's a native of Xufu Town?

After a trip to Jiangzhou City, he thought he could establish good relations with people in Jiangzhou City?

That's an impossibility; Jiangzhou City's waters run deep, Yuchi, you can't navigate them.

Others only have eyes on your money.

Until one day they utterly consume you, there won't even be a trace of a bite mark left.

Oh, if I had known sooner you'd end up being 'consumed', I'd have done it instead; at least I'd leave the bones behind."

Bai Rou sipped warm water, her lips covered with water droplets, touched them with her tongue, yet feeling quite dejected.

"Yuchi... he's... he's in a tough spot."
