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

"But having rules and following rules are two different things."

Making rules is something even a child can do; when playing hopscotch or jump rope, rules are just the things we've agreed upon.

Yet there are always people who don't follow the rules, and after profiting from rule-breaking, they plunge the whole world into chaos.

Once there are no rules, the whole world will fall into a terrifying state of human suspicion.

"The main purpose of the guild is not to teach people of this world how to live."

"Rather, it's to teach them not to break the rules."

"It's that simple."

"To achieve this, the guild needs to grow stronger continuously, to the point where it becomes an impartial executioner's blade."

"Whoever breaks the rules, whoever operates under the guild's control while stabbing others in the back."

"That person must face terrible consequences and costs."

"And once the rules are slowly accepted by everyone, how could the world not be fine?"

"Even little Ximo knows that after losing a game, she listens to the teacher's lecture."

"Falling on the head of this family's patriarch, it can't possibly be worse than a child's, right?"

Yuchi walked while thinking, leisurely observing the situation in the town.

The town's development was better than imagined, overall giving a good impression.

Now it's about nine o'clock in the evening, with every household still lit, busy making clothes.

Business has been pretty good lately.

Though a bit busy, earning gold and silver for the New Year is enough.

During this time, he nodded and chatted briefly with some locals who recognized him. Using the moonlight, he finally took a walk.

Quite pleasant.

He crossed a stone bridge.

Just then, a somewhat hurried footstep came from behind Yuchi.

When he turned his puzzled gaze back...

Isn't that Changsun Mei?

...

Changsun Mei wore a light blue dress, with a gilded shawl.

However, she looked slightly disheveled, the entire shawl hanging crookedly to the right, appearing hastily and messily.

There was no need to wait for her to run over; Yuchi proactively walked towards her.

Changsun Mei breathed repeatedly, trying to calm herself down.

Yuchi had already arrived in front of her.

The girl's eyes in front of him were full of determination, her features had a sense of elegance.

But her body showed panic, had she run all the way?

And she could catch up with his pace? That's impressive.

To know that his walking speed could be quite fast, plus he was a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, with stable and calm breath.

"Miss Changsun?" Yuchi smiled kindly, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

"Master Yuchi!"

Changsun Mei shouted heavily.

She bit her lip, her breathing was heavy, she really had a tough run.

This young man's pace was truly fast, she almost couldn't catch up.

Yuchi wasn't in a hurry, accompanying her to a bench by the roadside that could provide a temporary rest.

Watching her sit on the bench, he stood looking at the apprehensive young girl.

After bypassing the girl's comely countenance, he waited a while and, confirming she had more or less recovered, he continued:

"Is there something wrong?"

No reason I can't come to you, right? Changsun Mei felt a bit bitter.

Her tone quickly, seriously gave a straightforward answer, saying:

"I wish to ask for your protection."

"..."

"Protection?"

Yuchi showed a slightly surprised expression.

In fact, he clearly knew why Changsun Mei had come, but didn't expect she really dared to come to him alone.

Quite bold, it seems she's driven to the brink.

"Yes."

Changsun Mei thought for a moment, at this point, she had no intention of hiding anything.

She continued to speak non-stop:

"I tried to explain a lot of things to my grandfather, persuading him to trust the guild at this time."

"But not only did he not listen, he locked me in the Zhangsun Family."

"I could only watch as the Zhangsun Family slid into the abyss."

"But I truly don't want to fall to rock bottom with the Zhangsun Family."

"Otherwise, as the eldest daughter of the Zhangsun Family, my fate would be particularly miserable."

"So, I wish for Master Yuchi to take me in, and allow me to assist the guild in my personal capacity."

There are two ways to view things.

The first is from a saint's perspective.

From the saint's perspective on Changsun Mei's actions, isn't it that she can't share adversity?

That is, when the Zhangsun Family was prosperous, she didn't leave.

But when Zhangsun Hao was downcast, she wanted to abandon the Zhangsun Family, making her seem treacherous.

The second is from a normal person's perspective.

She already tried her best to prevent the Zhangsun Family from falling into the abyss.

Ultimately, due to her grandfather not listening, this situation arose.

If she chose to stay at the Zhangsun Family now, her grandfather would definitely marry her off at such a time.

Then it wouldn't be to someone like Wei Zhe, but likely to some potbellied tycoon.

Not as the main wife, but merely a concubine.

Such a tycoon's methods are ruthless. If she fell into the hands of such a tycoon, the outcome would be extremely tragic.

This is quite similar to the time of Wei Yuan.

Originally, she could have married Yuchi, but after the family's foolish decline...

If it weren't for Yuchi's help at a crucial moment, Wei Yuan's fate would've been incredibly bleak!
