Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 31 I am the Master of Heavenly Craft Workshop Chapter 697 -31 I am the Master of Heavenly Craft Workshop After entering the cabinet, Ling Yunpo successfully rendezvoused with An Zhisu.

The subsequent events no longer need to be mentioned, as they were exactly the same as what Qiu Changtian had experienced.

After leaving the secret realm, as expected, there was a fierce battle between the major powers of the righteous and demonic paths, with immortals clashing against each other, their killing intent raging.

Ling Yunpo, without a word, took An Zhisu’s hand, swiftly performed Man-Sword Unity, and rushed into the Shushan camp.

True Person Jinghua followed closely behind, guarding True Persons Shi Yuan and Tian Qi, successfully retreating from the battlefield.

The Jade Capital Sect Leader saw this and suddenly noticed that True Person Miao Dan had not come out, causing his brow to furrow slightly.

When True Person Jinghua arrived at his side and whispered a few words to him, the Jade Capital Sect Leader’s expression turned grave, betraying no emotion.

...

Kunlun was the first to retreat after receiving their people, followed by Penglai.

Due to Shushan having more people, their retreat took longer.

Immortal Long Eyebrow protected the Shushan retreat by holding off three foes with the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation, barely ensuring the sect members could escape.

Upon returning to Shushan, the Jade Capital Sect Leader immediately informed Immortal Long Eyebrow of the matter.

True Person Jinghua’s testimony was neither exaggerated nor downplayed, as he recounted his observations truthfully, and ultimately, he concluded:

True Person Miao Dan was first killed by a stealth attack from a Heavenly Demon, then struck dead by True Person Jiao Xiao’s Flying Sword.

The Jade Capital Sect Leader agreed with this assessment, but considering the gravity of the situation, it still needed to be reported to Immortal Long Eyebrow for his knowledge.

Immortal Long Eyebrow fell silent for a moment, then said,

“Have the Criminal Law Hall detain True Person Jiao Xiao for interrogation.”

“Wouldn’t that be…” The Jade Capital Sect Leader started to say that it might wrong Qingluo Peak, then suddenly realized that Qingluo Peak currently had no Nascent Soul elders, while Ziyun Peak indeed had elders.

The untimely death of True Person Miao Dan in the secret realm, whether it was an accident or murder, Emei would eventually need to give Elder Ming Hua a proper explanation.

By taking True Person Jiao Xiao for interrogation, if it is later confirmed to be the work of the Heavenly Demon, releasing her without charges would not be too late and would also be justifiable for Ziyun Peak.

As for whether True Person Jiao Xiao would be wronged…

it must be said that in the eyes of Immortal Long Eyebrow, a Golden Core True Person carried little weight.

Moreover, because of Su Jian’s incident, Immortal Long Eyebrow had developed a dislike for True Person Jiao Xiao.

Just as a mortal who has lost his wife and children might resent the child, Immortal Long Eyebrow resented his disciple’s daughter for the loss of his loved one-both are similar sentiments.

Yet for Shushan, True Person Jiao Xiao is a Second Grade Golden Core!

Even placed in Kunlun, a Second Grade Golden Core cultivator,

Immortal Long Eyebrow’s orders were not to be defied, but the Jade Capital Sect Leader had already decided secretly that, if the Immortal truly held any prejudice against True Person Jiao Xiao, out of his sense of duty to Shushan, he must protect and find a way out for her.

Otherwise, if they allowed Qingluo Peak’s loyalty to Shushan to continue wavering like this, troubles would inevitably arise.

………

Qingluo Peak.

Senior Sister An was ultimately taken away by the enforcers from the Criminal Law Hall.

Ling Yunpo was not surprised by this, and even comforted Senior Sister An not to worry in return.

In his view, Senior Sister An’s visit this time was likely akin to “giving a statement” or “understanding the case details,” and she would probably be released unharmed in the end.

In saying this, I finally felt at ease.

Looking back, I should have just quietly cultivated in seclusion during the growth of my Pill Root, until I completely broke through to the Root Seeking Rank and advanced to the Obscure Weave Rank.

But hearing about Senior Sister An’s affairs so suddenly, Qiu Changtian found it hard to settle down in the Golden Ridge Cave Abode.

If he forced himself to continue with Qi Refinement amidst his unease, he feared it would lead to great chaos.

???G?.??

Now that he had finally put his mind at ease, he would go back to Luo Yan and continue cultivating!

Thinking this, Ling Yunpo gave instructions to the Kunlun Mirror:

“Ah Jing, load the saved data!”

The Kunlun Mirror maintained its knowing but subtle stance and replied with a smile:

“Alright.”

Returning to the Penglai Heavenly Craft Workshop, time jumped back to before the Golden Que Secret Realm, after Shi Liuli returned from the ruins of the Donghua Sect.

Each day, besides going out for breathing exercises to refine Qi, studying the ways of artifact forging, and helping Penglai adjust its Protective Sect Array, Luo Yan managed the Heavenly Craft Workshop with Shi Liuli.

Although she still had her Nascent Soul, Shi Liuli’s aura was becoming more like that of a young matron’s, no longer possessing the air of a green girl.

In every move she made, there was a sense of calm confidence that inspired trust… To draw a comparison, she was like the lady of a large house, managing every facet with impeccable order, so that even when she spoke in an utterly flat tone, listeners would still perk up their ears and attentively follow her directives.

From a certain perspective, this was somewhat uncomfortable for Luo Yan: Who was the true owner of the Heavenly Craft Workshop?

It felt like an upright politician who had won an election fair and square, yet had to submit to an elite civil servant who used cunning tactics to manage him.

But from another perspective, having a beautiful secretary who could handle everything perfectly was indeed a source of satisfaction that was hard to fault.

Sometimes Luo Yan even thought that he was still the master of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, he had merely delegated authority to his own ‘little missus.’

If he wished, he could reclaim that power at any time… Thinking this way, he felt much more comfortable.

The recent sales performance of the Heavenly Craft Workshop had improved, thanks largely to Shi Liuli’s Flying Sword business-her forged Flying Swords, unlike Senior Brother Linghu Chu’s, had exquisitely fine formations sealed within (of course, this was also with Luo Yan’s assistance), which made them very efficient in using True Yuan, and hence were quite popular among Loose Cultivators.

If Linghu Chu’s Flying Swords were like American cars, then Shi Liuli’s were like Japanese cars.

One geared towards high power and the other towards fuel efficiency, both took different paths but had their own audience and market.

After carefully reviewing the accounts, although the performance hadn’t returned to the glory days of Elder Shi Ding, the significant rebound was already quite impressive.

“Finished reading?” Shi Liuli walked out from the inner room.

Today, she wore a goose yellow short shirt, paired with a pleated and belted shift dress, that made her appear gentle and beautiful, igniting an impulse in Luo Yan to hold her in his arms and ruffle her hair.

“What else is there to read?” Luo Yan tossed the ledger onto the table nonchalantly, “Can I be anything but at ease with the business handled by my wife?”

“It’s better to look anyway,” advised Shi Liuli seriously, “After all, you are the master of the Heavenly Craft Workshop.

It’s good to familiarize yourself with the business.

Besides, soon, Shi Qing, our junior, will be joining and she might frequently consult you for advice.”

Shi Qing, a young cultivator from the Shi Family of Guangling, was said to have a photographic memory.

Before Elder Shi Ding’s death, the Shi Family had always wanted to send her under his tutelage.

After Elder Shi Ding passed away, the Shi Family wavered for a while but was eventually persuaded by Luo Yan and Shi Liuli.

Counting the days, it was about time to take her on as a disciple on behalf of her teacher.
