NOVEL NEXT Chapter 201: Just Different Standpoints! Or Is It Reality? (Long Chapter, Seeking Protection)
Great Tang Prison?
Song Yinghan definitely knew about the Great Tang Prison, but when Yuchi mentioned it, Miss Song suddenly found it very strange.
What does this matter have to do with the Great Tang Prison?
In Song Yinghan's view, Yuchi probably didn't know about the Cloud Descending Sect.
Contrary to that assumption, Yuchi not only knew about the Cloud Descending Sect, but also knew his own worth in the sect, and claimed that this matter was related to the Great Tang Prison?
This was completely without basis.
Looking at the young man in front of her again, Song Yinghan said with a smile and a sigh:
"And when you're saying these things, why do you look so deflated, as if being bountied by the Cloud Descending Sect is such an honorable thing!"
"You must know that it's normal for ordinary people not to have a bounty in the Cloud Descending Sect. It's very normal to not have a price."
"Once there's a price on you, it means someone has inquired about the rate at the Cloud Descending Sect, which means someone has already discussed with them about hunting you down. The fact that you're still alive only indicates that they decided not to pursue it, but in reality, you may have enemies in the shadows."
After saying this, Song Yinghan was rather worried for Yuchi.
This man was growing up, and their relationship was getting better. Watching him get killed by the Cloud Descending Sect was something she definitely couldn't bear.
As a result, on Yuchi's end, he still felt sorry for himself. The matter of the bounty couldn't be brought up, otherwise, it would be heart-wrenching.
He replied pitifully:
"Yinghan, your husband here, has always cared about face in this life. I don't fear that someone wants to kill me in the shadows. Someone wanting to kill me proves that what I'm doing is effective, otherwise, it's just child's play."
"And the people who want to kill me this time are definitely not strong, otherwise, if a strong person were to approach the Cloud Descending Sect, they'd probably give me a decent bounty."
"I still think my bounty is a bit low. Yinghan, do you know anyone from the Cloud Descending Sect? I want to negotiate with them about raising my bounty a bit."
Wow! This, this... ah... this!
There're too many points to criticize in these three sentences from this young man, and you're even claiming to be my husband, trying to take advantage...
With some sweat on her forehead, Song Yinghan said: "I don't know anyone from the Cloud Descending Sect. I've only heard of such a sect."
"Alright then." Yuchi sighed.
"..."
With a wry smile, she gathered her thoughts, and Song Yinghan curiously asked:
"And Yuchi, you mentioned earlier that you learned about your bounty from the Great Tang Prison, how did you get involved with the Great Tang Prison?"
"What, is there something wrong with the Great Tang Prison?" Yuchi asked with a curious smile as he carefully observed Song Yinghan's expression.
Obviously, the young beauty was somewhat embarrassed but still said:
"You can't say it's bad, but generally, we don't have too close relations with the Great Tang Prison. Simple interactions will do, but don't ever think that the Great Tang Prison is as bright as our Star Observatory."
Great Tang Prison: She's slandering me, did you see that? She's slandering me!
Even more curious, Yuchi laughed and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Miss Song didn't speak without basis, and since she was talking with Yuchi, she had no reservations in saying directly:
"Because the composition of the Great Tang Prison itself, it holds many hardened criminals, including many famous cultivators. Although these cultivators are imprisoned in the Great Tang Prison, viewed from another perspective, isn't the Great Tang Prison imprisoned by these powerful cultivators?"
Yuchi was surprised.
He hadn't considered this before, but what Miss Song said was absolutely logical, surely not all the time the Great Tang Prison is just managed by the sect, right? Can it not be that the sect's cultivators are maliciously trying to undermine the Great Tang Prison from within?
"So, certain Great Tang Prisons, note my wording, certain Great Tang Prisons, their prison directors were not good people before, possibly vicious and evil, and then became the prison directors of the Great Tang Prison, making it not a place of justice but a breeding ground for terror."
"The other three of our institutions are aware, but we don't want to start a war with the Great Tang Prison, otherwise society would become chaotic again, so as long as they're not too excessive, not harming other cultivators, not getting them into the Great Tang Prison, we turn a blind eye, it's one of the only things we can do."
After Miss Song finished talking, Yuchi understood, and after understanding, he suddenly had a "I'm the clown all along" kind of feeling.
How did he view the Great Tang Prison before? That was information he got from Miss Han!
The same issue, from different women's mouths, could have different interpretations, perfectly illustrating the importance of a standpoint.
Back then, Yuchi also asked Miss Han how the Great Tang Prison recruited people, Miss Han said not to ask too much, without giving a detailed answer, at that time Yuchi didn't think it was anything significant, he just thought they might have their own methods of recruitment? Just like the sect's measures?
And in Miss Han's description, Yuchi once believed the Great Tang Prison was an extremely powerful and just place, capable of subduing cultivators, with Xun Xian constantly praising the Great Tang Prison by her side, which truly made him feel that the Great Tang Prison was a good place.
