Chapter 967: Chapter 299: Letter! Relay Station! Small Town! Xiangxiang Girl!_3

The end.

Feeling the extreme terror in the old man’s heart, the middle-aged man from the Defense Department calmly spoke to the shocked young man beside him, "So now you know why I didn’t let you go join the excitement, right?"

"Do you know what it means not to bully a young man for his poverty, a middle-aged man for his poverty, nor an old man for his poverty?"

"That’s deep."

"Learn from it."

...

In the air, Yuchi accelerated quickly; he hadn’t remembered the other matters at the station, but suddenly he recalled a riddle.

"A female cultivator traveling by sword, what’s the profession?"

"..."

"Stewardess?"

"Smart, so what else could you say for a female cultivator traveling by sword?"

"..."

"Mature woman?"

"Smart."

Yuchi patted the head of the bird flying next to him, and as the bird wiped its sweat and descended from the sky, he flew towards the direction of Songquan County.

With the support of a fifth-level Golden Core Stage cultivation, the journey of six or seven hundred miles was too easy to reach, directly cutting through several hundred miles to the northwest, arriving just in time at Songquan County for dinner.

Songquan County is a small town.

The town’s scale is about five hundred thousand people, comparable to Xufu Town earlier on, but compared to Xufu Town now, it’s somewhat lacking. As for why this place is called Songquan County, it’s said there is a spring here, and behind the spring is a big pine tree.

Upon arriving in a new place, if you want to learn the latest news and clues, you definitely can’t skip visiting the local brothel. There’s no high-class courtesan in this small town, much less a top courtesan lady, only a few Xiangxiang girls, and Yuchi arrived just in time for dinner.

The expenses with the Xiangxiang girls are quite high.

The guests usually come in groups, splitting the evening into two halves, but encountering Yuchi coming alone to stay the night, both their minds and bodies felt extremely relaxed. After all, Xiangxiang girls aren’t really short of money; they’re not lacking for a little extra gold or silver that two people might bring together, but sometimes there’s no choice, as such guests are quite common, and it’s not possible to refuse all business like that.

Rouge, clothes, beauty soup, these all require money, as do miscellaneous collections, poetry collections, and music scores, not to mention musical instruments, which are expensive. Becoming a Xiangxiang girl isn’t simple; otherwise, anyone could claim the title, and they wouldn’t be special anymore.

Anyway, this Xiangxiang girl was pleasantly surprised looking at the young man before her. Though he wore some fake jade pendants, his composed face with black hair and eyes couldn’t be deceiving; he still seemed somewhat handsome and talented, and listening to his accent, he didn’t seem like a local.

Her mind shifted.

The Xiangxiang girl delicately said, "Young master, have you just arrived in our Songquan County?"

Holding her long sleeve, the Xiangxiang girl deliberately revealed a bit of her arm, pouring tea for Yuchi while smiling sweetly.

"Yes."

Yuchi casually hooked the pointy chin of the Xiangxiang girl, finding it quite nice, unlike some chins in the previous life that could plow two acres of land. This Xiangxiang girl’s chin had a bit of flesh, making her look honest and cute.

But still, she was far from the level of a top courtesan, so if this Xiangxiang girl wanted to claim massive wealth from Yuchi, it would be challenging.

Then he smilingly asked:

"Xiangxiang girl, I came to Songquan County to search for a person named Xiang Shaoyuan. Do you happen to know him?"

Such matters can be addressed directly, as it’s just a normal spar between Xiang Shaoyuan and Cao Qingyu, nothing about seeking revenge. Moreover, this happened who knows how many years ago, so there’s no need to be indirect and troublesome.

Upon hearing this, the Xiangxiang girl pondered carefully.

Apparently, she didn’t recall anyone like that right away.

But she didn’t give up, especially after Yuchi tossed a cool piece of silver into her neckline, which made her blush, urging her to think even harder. She even took out a register from her sleeve, flipping through it before finally shaking her head apologetically, saying to Yuchi, "Young master, I’m sorry, I don’t recall anyone by that name. This Xiang Shaoyuan isn’t one of my clients."

Yuchi was a bit surprised, as if even the Xiangxiang girl didn’t know about it, then probably no one would. The Xiangxiang girls were regarded as encyclopedias of these times; if you want to inquire about someone or even seek fortune-telling in a new place, you go directly to a Xiangxiang girl. If they can’t handle it, then the top courtesan surely can.

The current situation was a bit awkward—had the trail abruptly ended? Yuchi was caught off-guard, thinking he’d solve it quickly.

While Yuchi was contemplating, the Xiangxiang girl had already shyly nestled into Yuchi’s arms, sitting on his lap, her hands snaking around his neck like water serpents: "Young master, I didn’t do well; I’m not familiar with Songquan County. I hope you won’t be upset."
