Chapter 328: Chapter 196: Skillful Household Management (Part 2)

"Some time ago, this junior intended to invite him to help craft the City Defense Array, but it’s said Elder Pei is currently in seclusion, preparing to break through the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yang’s expression relaxed slightly, nodding: "That young fellow has decent talent. If not for sect matters, he should have broken through long ago."

"Enough, let’s not talk about the past."

Fu Yang waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to mention Qiyun Valley further, then turned to Shen Wenxing: "This city, I’ve already roughly inspected from the clouds earlier, and the foundation is indeed well laid."

"Later, I will go to investigate the earth vein. If permitted by the earth vein, there are indeed a few good arrays that can be arranged."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing’s expression brightened, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands, saying: "Thank you, Elder!"

Fu Yang waved his hand, saying: "However, array arrangement is exceedingly complex and tedious; it still requires a calm and meticulous person to assist me."

A calm and meticulous person...

Shen Wenxing frowned in thought, just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps approaching from the doorway.

The door of the side room was then pushed open, and Shen Yuan appeared at the entrance.

"Father."

Shen Wen’an and Shen Wenxing stood and cupped their hands.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Fu Yang.

"Father, this is Elder Fu Yang, a great expert in Array Dao invited by Wen’an from Danzhou."

"Elder Fu, this is my father."

Shen Wenxing introduced them.

After exchanging salutes, Shen Yuan gracefully smiled and said: "Just outside the room earlier, I overheard Fellow Daoist Fu needing someone to assist."

"Recently, I’ve been free and am quite familiar with Yunshui City."

He turned to Fu Yang, cupping his hands and saying: "Fellow Daoist Fu, for the upcoming days, how about letting me assist you?"

Fu Yang smiled and nodded.

When Shen Yuan entered, he had already assessed his cultivation.

Late Stage of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, his True Essence Spiritual Power is sufficiently robust, perfectly capable of aiding in array exploration and arrangement.

Shen Wenxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then I’ll leave the matters of the Grand Array to Father and Elder."

...

The wedding of Shen Chonghong and Xiao Hongxiao grew ever closer.

During this time, Shen Wenxing has been preoccupied with these matters, leaving the remaining family affairs for Shen Chongming to handle.

Yue County City.

Shen Chongming sat face to face with Jin Sheng, the chief of the Vajra Sect.

"I’ve heard that the Shen Family is going to form an alliance through marriage with Hundred Refinements Valley, there must be many affairs to attend to at your house, how does your virtuous nephew have the time to come to Yue County today?"

Jin Sheng spoke cheerfully.

Shen Chongming cupped his hands and said: "The marriage alliance is being orchestrated by my father; I came today to deliver the invitation on my father’s order and also have something to discuss with Uncle Jin."

With a flash of light in his hands, he produced a gold-embossed invitation and several exquisite gift boxes.

Shen Chongming pushed the invitation and gift boxes towards Jin Sheng, cupping his hands:

"A few days ago, Third Uncle slew some Demon Generals from the Southern Border in the mountains, acquiring several Demon Essence Pills, my father sent me to bring one to Uncle Jin."

"Additionally, there’s some newly picked Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruit, please, Uncle, enjoy them."

Upon hearing this, Jin Sheng’s face showed a deep smile.

"Haha... you rascal..."

Though he appeared carefree and very bold.

To be the sect’s chief, one must surely realize that Shen Chongming has come seeking favor.

"First, tell me what matter it is."

"The relationship between our families is evident, Uncle will surely do his best to help."

Shen Chongming let out a slight sigh and said solemnly: "Since the descent of the Immortal Sect upon Yangnao Land, it has fallen into division, secular people neglecting cultural education and ritual law, only chasing after cultivation, yet unaware that Immortal Fate is difficult to obtain."

"In such times when rites and music have collapsed, cousin Chongxuan wishes to follow his father’s legacy, aiming to parallel the teaching Dao, to enlighten the common people."

"Currently, under the Shen Family’s governance, four cities have exhibited initial success; I came today hoping Uncle Jin would allow Chongxuan to open a school in Yue County for instruction."

Upon hearing this, Jin Sheng frowned slightly, sinking into contemplation.

He has visited the Shen Family multiple times, and indeed, the common people under Shen Family’s governance are quite courteous, a scene of unity and joy.

The governance image contrasts significantly with the common masses under other Immortal Sect Families.

Yue County itself is located in a remote area of Yu Country, prior to the descent of the Immortal Sect, the customs were fierce, ignorant of education.

The strong preying on the weak and instances of bravado and confrontation frequently occur.

The Vajra Sect itself is also unwilling to manage it, if the Shen Family could send someone to teach and enlighten, it wouldn’t be bad.

Just...

Jin Sheng quietly rubbed the tea cup in his hand, still somewhat worried about whether the Shen Family had other schemes.

The relationship between the two families is very good now, but human nature is the most resistant to temptation. Cultivators throughout their journey, if not adept at scheming, the grass on their graves would be unknowably high.

"Uncle Jin, rest assured, cousin is only aiming to teach and instruct, and absolutely will not interfere with any affairs of Yue County."

Seeing Jin Sheng’s indecision, Shen Chongming supplemented with a sentence.

"Haha..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Sheng laughed.

"Jin is naturally trusting in the Shen Family; since your virtuous nephew has spoken, uncle grants permission."

"Later, I’ll have someone start building an academy in the commandery city for you. Once the academy is completed, it can open anytime to teach."

Shen Chongming quickly cupped his hands in gratitude.

He also understood that Jin Sheng specially emphasized agreeing to this matter due to the Shen Family’s reputation. If they were to use the opening of the academy to conduct other underhanded actions, it will damage the Shen Family’s reputation.

Only he had never intended to use this to conduct any improper actions against Yue County; it’s purely for transmitting knowledge, to enhance the Literary Qi of the world.

Shen Chongxuan said that as long as the world’s Literary Qi is enhanced, the Literary Dao cultivators of the Shen Family can unleash greater power.
