328: 328: Goodbye Ye Han【First Update, Thanks for the Reward】 328: 328: Goodbye Ye Han【First Update, Thanks for the Reward】 Dressed formally, Ye Han was still so beautiful.
But there were a few traces of fatigue on her face, and she looked considerably haggard.
It seemed that Valley City had indeed put a lot of pressure on her.
However, there was no alternative, being in that position demanded a certain price.
Over the past few months, she had done nothing but work, setting aside both her personal issues and family matters.
She wanted nothing more than for Valley City to start operating smoothly as soon as possible.
Now everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion, and there had been basically no mistakes.
Seeing the satisfying results of her efforts, she felt somewhat content.
It was only in the past week that she heard the news that Xia City was under human control.
She was tempted.
Even though Valley City’s development was decent, its infrastructure was too poor, and there was still a long way to go.
Of course, having ready-made facilities would be better.
However, she also knew that the person in control of that city certainly wouldn’t hand it over directly.
And the ability to control Xia City also proved that their strength was extraordinary.
If it wasn’t the military, then it could only be cultivators.
She had thought about sending Valley City’s cultivators on a trip there, only to find that they didn’t want to go, fearing they might encounter a more powerful expert.
To put it plainly, they didn’t want to be errand runners,
preferring to stay in the safety of Valley City.
The outside world was too dangerous.
Should they encounter a Spiritual Beast above the Third Grade, they would be facing a certain death.
There weren’t many cultivators with Golden Core cultivation on Earth, only about a dozen in total, otherwise the Cultivation World wouldn’t be in such a dismal state right now.
It was as if they had been cleansed by the Spiritual Beasts, leaving behind only a few Fourth and Fifth Grade Sects, and some fortunate Third-grade Sects; all others were gone.
Cultivators had migrated to secular cities, taking positions within the Cultivation Alliance,
Perhaps to run a Cultivation Academy.
Some, to attract disciples, were even offering tuition free of charge.
Valley City was currently like this, with ten different Cultivation Academies within a single city.
Named after the original names of their former Sects.
In this way, the lifeblood of the Sects could continue.
Of course, the competition became intense.
With everyone harboring such thoughts, naturally, they each employed their own tactics.
For a while, Ye Han too was quite vexed with this situation, as she couldn’t afford to offend any of them, yet their safety relied on these cultivators.
In the end, she left them to their own devices, since they also dared not meddle in secular affairs.
Yet, when she asked them to go to Xia City, not a soul dared to accept the invitation, which irked her somewhat.
Eventually, amidst her busy schedule, she made time to go to Xia City herself.
As not many people had come, and because Leng Dao recognized Ye Han, they were allowed entry.
As for the escorting troops and cultivators, they stayed outside the city walls.
Seeing Foundation Establishment Realm experts guarding the city, they didn’t dare to take half a step across the threshold.
Moreover, after Ye Han entered the city, she looked at everything familiar, and her heart was filled with countless sighs.
This was the city she once controlled.
And in just a few short months, it had become someone else’s.
Along the way, she saw many citizens, and she waved to greet them, but they did not recognize her.
This left her feeling somewhat disheartened.
As she walked, she thought about a lot.
Xia City had been preserved very well, and it seemed that the energy resources were also still abundant.
This piqued her curiosity.
After all, when they had evacuated, the energy resources had been depleted, and without energy, the power plant couldn’t possibly operate.
But what she saw now had changed her perspective.
The person controlling this place was really just a woman; she wondered why she had never heard of her standing out in Xia City before.
When she came to the entrance of the building,
Ye Han walked in, and the first person she saw was the savior who had appeared in her dreams a few times.
She hadn’t expected to see him here, feeling a mix of surprise and curiosity within her heart.
“Sister Han, it’s been a long time.”
Only then did Ye Han snap out of her momentary lapse.
“How come you’re here?” Ye Han asked, taking two eager steps forward.
No wonder she was startled, for she had thought they would never meet again, yet here they were reunited after just a few months.
“Hello, Chief Ye.” Tang Wushuang pinched Tang Feng, then shook hands with Ye Han.
“You must be Wushuang, I apologize for the disturbance so late at night,” Ye Han secretly praised the other woman in her heart, noting that despite being a few years younger, her looks were no less than her own.
“Not at all, you’re most welcome,” Tang Wushuang replied with a smile.
Ye Han couldn’t help but admire Tang Wushuang’s smile internally.
Her temperament seemed even better than her own, which made her feel somewhat inferior.
She wondered what the relationship between this young man and Wushuang was.
Ah, what am I thinking about!
Ye Han’s face flushed with waves of heat.
Both parties settled down in the conference room.
Ye Han’s composure was disrupted, and she found herself hesitant to look at Tang Feng, noticing that the young man was staring at her.
She felt a mixture of delight and anxiety.
“Ahem!”
Tang Wushuang coughed lightly twice, disrupting what was expected to be a serious meeting.
To her surprise, Tang Feng was acquainted with the other party, which put the initiative completely on her side.
Tang Wushuang’s current goal was to strive for a rightful control.
That would depend on Ye Han’s assistance.
If she was willing to help, Xia City would rightfully be theirs.
However, it was difficult for her to be the one to broach the subject, so she nudged Tang Feng to do it.
“Err, Sister Han, just speak candidly since it’s late at night, we’re all friends here,” Tang Feng said with a smile.
Even if Ye Han had seen much of the world, she couldn’t help but blush at his words—presumptuous, who said we’re that close?
Though she cursed him inwardly, she dared not show it on her face.
After all, she had the level of someone who could hold the position of a chief.
“Since Xiao Feng of Xia City has brought it up, and we are friends, our conversation will be much easier.
I’ve come with a suggestion; let’s discuss it together, shall we?”
“Please, speak freely,” Tang Wushuang nodded.
“Here’s the thing, I’m reassured with Xia City in your hands, but the way you’re handling things is still unofficial.
So I hope you can agree to be under Valley City’s jurisdiction—at least outwardly.
Inside Xia City, you still call the shots,” Ye Han said, completely changing her initial approach.
The accompanying staff and the secretary were all taken aback.
They had come with the intention of taking Xia City back, but now it seemed like they were handing it over—what was the chief thinking?
Of course, they had no right to speak, and could only listen.
Tang Wushuang was also surprised by Ye Han’s proposal; she looked towards Tang Feng, leaving the decision to him.
“Sister Han, go ahead and lay out the rest.
I won’t believe you’d offer such a concession without having something in mind,” Tang Feng said with a wink, full of implication.
Seeing him like that, Ye Han really wanted to kick him.
She knew that with him around tonight, it would be nearly impossible to get the upper hand.
Ye Han then stated her demands.
The two cities could engage in trade, accommodating ten thousand people, with no taxes to be handed over, but still, transaction taxes must be paid as due.
Additionally, she hoped Xia City could open an academy, where the elite of Valley City could come to study.
The fourth point was mutual defense support, meaning if Xia City faced trouble, Valley City would send troops to help and vice versa—if Valley City needed assistance, Xia City would also provide aid.
Ye Han felt somewhat embarrassed as she concluded these points.
No matter how you looked at it, she was taking advantage of them.
She wasn’t sacrificing anything, simply bestowing an official status upon Xia City.
Seeing Tang Wushuang smile without a word, and Tang Feng giving her a mischievous grin, she felt even more uncomfortable.
“It’s just a suggestion; you can propose corresponding demands,” Ye Han said, her own presence weakening slightly.
The staff beside her either sighed or rolled their eyes—it seemed less like a negotiation and more like discussing how to offer benefits to the other side.
