Everyone was silent for several minutes until Ao Min spoke up, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

"Uncle of my little brother, I share the same opinion as my little brother. Currently, Liuhe Village is the best refuge for your alliance. You have no other choices."

"I support my little brother for three reasons."

"First, Liuhe Village is remote, making it difficult for Blood Bat Hall to find it."

"Second, Liuhe Village has excellent feng shui, which is perfect for recovering strength and boosting power."

"Third, it’s close to my little brother and me, so if anything happens, we can reach you immediately, ensuring your safety. You need not worry too much."

Ao Min’s reasoning was sound.

Members of the alliance were filled with longing after hearing this.

Because all they wanted at that time was a stable place to recover, which would give them the means to seek revenge.

Every member of their alliance had a deep-seated blood feud with Blood Bat Hall, and after yesterday’s events, their hatred for Blood Bat Hall was truly deep.

Without avenging this hatred, they would never find peace!

However, they dared not speak up and could only look towards Chen Tianmin, hoping for his decision.

"Uncle, there’s nothing to hesitate about. Liuhe Village is the only option. For safety, I will arrange for everyone to be housed in Green Cloud Taoist Temple, wearing Taoist robes every day. This way, no one will pay attention to you." Chen Yang continued to persuade as Chen Tianmin stayed silent.

Ao Min, hearing this, understood too: "Exactly, Uncle of my little brother, the old folks at Green Cloud Temple are actively recruiting disciples. If you enter as ordinary Taoists, no one will notice anything."

Chen Tianmin realized something but remained worried: "Will this work?"

"Absolutely," Chen Yang answered confidently.

After some internal struggle, Chen Tianmin finally agreed to Chen Yang’s proposal to go to Liuhe Village.

"Alright, Yang Zi, let’s settle in Liuhe Village temporarily. If there’s any sign of trouble, we’ll evacuate immediately," said Chen Tianmin.

Seeing Chen Tianmin agree, everyone’s faces lit up with smiles.

"Great, then we’ll act tonight," Chen Yang said.

"Uncle of my little brother, you’re a wise man, and I admire you. We’ll be neighbors soon, so I hope to learn and discuss with you often," Ao Min chuckled.

Qiu Hongguang, He Xiran, Pei Yong, and others expressed their gratitude to Chen Yang.

Being saved twice amid such critical circumstances and provided with such a refuge, they felt the gratitude was well-deserved.

"You’re welcome, everyone. Since the decision is made, go back to your rooms and rest. We’ll depart at nine tonight, leaving the county for Liuhe Village," Chen Yang said decisively.

"Alright, we’ll head out then."

Qiu Hongguang nodded with a smile, leading Pei Yong out first.

Afterwards, Chen Tianmin exchanged a few words with Chen Yang before leaving too.

Soon, only Chen Yang and Ao Min remained in the room.

Chen Yang pondered briefly and looked at Ao Min: "Ao Min, I have no contact with the old fellow. When the alliance members are settled, you might need to notify him in advance to prepare him mentally."

"Alright, I’ll head back now and talk to the old man," Ao Min agreed promptly.

"Yes, be sure to explain everything clearly," Chen Yang replied.

"I know, I’ll be off now."

Ao Min immediately set out, returning to Liuhe Village.

Chen Yang didn’t idle either. After Ao Min left, he took the elevator to the top floor to visit Li Han’s office.

Seeing Chen Yang enter, Li Han emerged from behind her desk with a smile.

"Chen Yang, why did you come over? Just give me a call if you need anything." Li Han walked up with a smile.

"It’s nothing much, just wanted to see you. We really have you to thank today; otherwise, arranging things would have been difficult," Chen Yang said, shaking Li Han’s hand.

Today, Li Han had been a tremendous help, not only providing a temporary place to rest but offering many other resources too.

This greatly aided the alliance’s recovery.

"It’s no big deal, just a small matter. Helping you is all I care about; I’m just afraid I won’t be able to assist you if you’re in trouble," Li Han said sweetly, revealing her true thoughts.

Chen Yang felt warmth in his heart but couldn’t find the words to express his gratitude.

Everything was understood without words.

As time flew by, night fell.

At eight o’clock, Ao Min returned from Liuhe Village with news.

Liu Taoist agreed to the plan but mentioned a slight issue.

He had recruited dozens of disciples recently, and the accommodation at Green Cloud Temple was fully occupied, able to hold only five more people.

There was no extra space.

If the alliance plans to stay long-term, the temple might need expansion.

Upon hearing this from Ao Min, Chen Yang recalled the same situation. When the temple was initially built, they never expected it to grow to this extent, so it was simply designed as a single unit.

Looking at the current situation, to accommodate the alliance, further development is necessary, and a major expansion must be swiftly undertaken; otherwise, it would be too inconvenient.

"Then here’s the plan: I’ll urgently call two designers tonight to draft an expansion plan overnight. If there are no issues, the construction team will start tomorrow morning, aiming to complete the expansion soon," Li Han offered without waiting for Chen Yang to speak.

Indeed, expansion involves Dao, and no one else could manage it.

"Expansion is necessary, but there’s no rush," Chen Yang wanted Li Han to take her time, knowing the expansion isn’t a one-day task. Delaying a night wouldn’t matter.

Li Han understood Chen Yang’s concern, not wanting her overwhelmed.

But she didn’t feel tired.

Helping Chen Yang was all she cared about.

This was Li Han’s most genuine thought.

"It’s not about rushing; so many people need shelter. It’s better sooner rather than later, and Uncle’s group can’t risk being discovered, right?"

"If they don’t enter the temple soon, they might draw attention. So doing it sooner is best," Li Han argued.

Ao Min chuckled, supporting Li Han, though with a playful tone.

"Haha, my little brother, I’m with President Li on this. Expansion is urgent; completing it early is wise," Ao Min laughed.

Chen Yang shot a look, and Ao Min immediately quieted down.

"Alright, I’ll contact the designers now, and construction will start tomorrow." With support from others, Li Han didn’t wait for Chen Yang, heading to her workstation to phone the designers.

With Li Han taking initiative, Chen Yang had nothing more to say, silently agreeing.
