Chapter 1411: Chapter 373: Yin Shuang Has Grown Up_2

Yuchi felt quite embarrassed, nodded, and admitted honestly that he didn’t exactly dislike her. However, the key issue wasn’t simply about liking or disliking. He had to consider his disciples and the complex situation as a whole. Therefore, if one day his power became strong enough that he no longer needed to bother with such worldly matters, and everything followed his own preferences, then it wouldn’t be a big problem.

But not now. Now, he must keep such matters carefully in mind and handle them properly.

"Then I’ll wait for you," Bu Huoran stated her intentions quite frankly.

"Alright."

He also smiled and nodded.

Before leaving, he bowed to the other party: "I hope that when I return, Jiangnan is still Jiangnan, you are still yourself, the mountains and waters remain unchanged, and the rivers continue to flow."

"I will. Then, when you leave Third State this time, you can go to the State Capital first. There will be many clues there, and it’s better to make decisions after understanding them."

Yuchi: "Hmm."

He turned around and left.

...

State Capital.

Yuchi arrived here and found Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran was quite surprised to see Yuchi because Yuchi had left the State Capital for a long time, and last time he vowed to not return unless absolutely necessary. Yet suddenly, here he was.

Because, brother, I owe you an apology, I have developed feelings for your lady. Although there is no actual relation between the two of you, I still can’t get over it in my mind... Yuchi took out several grass eggs from Jiangnan from his sleeve: "Lord Wang, these grass eggs are brought from Jiangnan. Although not precious, it’s my sincere gesture."

"Ah, is there someone who sends grass eggs to me at this time? My goodness, thank you very much..." Wang Haoran was stupefied. He could not recall how many gifts he had received in his lifetime, nor how many good things he had seen in his life, but it was the first time someone gave him grass eggs, which reminded him of when he was young, visiting relatives during New Year, and the village used to bring some grass eggs or pig knuckles as gifts. It felt as though time had rolled back.

Then Yuchi quietly asked: "Lord Wang, have you not gone to see your wife for so long? Are you so assured letting her stay in Jiangnan?"

After asking, he looked at the other person with a guilty conscience. He was considered a relatively prudent man and had handled this matter quite well; otherwise, if someone a bit more headstrong were in his place now, Bu Huoran would be burdened with a life.

Wang Haoran didn’t quite understand why Yuchi suddenly asked this question, but since Bu Huoran was mentioned, he smiled and said: "The relationship between me and her is only in name. In reality, I don’t have the authority to control her, nor do I have the right to decide any future with her. Since we’re all on the same side, there’s nothing to worry about."

Yuchi suddenly realized and nodded understandingly.

Wang Haoran continued jokingly: "Besides, Bu Huoran herself is quite an impressive woman. I feel she has her own life, and I have mine. There’s no way I can win her over. So, since she’s living in Jiangnan, that means she must be very satisfied with Jiangnan."

He still felt quite curious at this point, wishing he could take the time to visit Jiangnan himself to see what kind of city it was, able to captivate the Pavilion Master from the Celestial Craft Workshop and make them stay in Jiangnan.

And then, when Yuchi didn’t speak, he suddenly asked a question: "I wonder if you regard me as a brother?"

Yuchi: "..."

I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my father?... This thought suddenly popped up in Yuchi’s mind. Although it seemed out of place for the situation at hand, there was still a bit of meaning to it: "Of course I consider Lord Wang a friend, only that your status is quite unique, so the friendship between us is not quite the same."

"Indeed, I also see you as a friend, so now there are things I’ll say straight away." Said Wang Haoran with a bit of caution as he looked around. This was an involuntary action when speaking from the heart, not indicating anyone would be eavesdropping, and after this action, he continued, "Honestly, if Bu Huoran meets a man she truly loves, then I’d really be liberated."

"For me, this is now a shackle, a cage. We’re bound by marriage in name, without me having seen her before becoming a couple in name. The Celestial Craft Workshop had already made our relationship public."

"Because of this shackle, when I see many women I like, I truly have no way to bring them to my side. Every time I see those young ladies in their delicate form, my heart almost crumbles, thoroughly crumbles, unable to choose the woman I truly desire."
