Chapter 1027: The Forgotten Changle

~7 min read 1,335 words

Having been in the Xuanyuan Tribe for quite some time, Changle had a feeling of being abandoned; his father had not contacted him for a long time, and the people sent by Huaxia would only stay briefly before leaving immediately. However, Changle also knew that there were too many things going on in Huaxia right now, and with so much to keep them busy, it was normal that they could not pay attention to him.

However, with Xuanyuan currently not in the tribe, Changle's movements were also somewhat restricted. For instance, if he wanted to go to very distant places, it was not allowed; the main reason was that Dahong and the others were quite afraid, as they could not bear the responsibility if something were to happen.

Therefore, most of Changle's time was spent operating around Qingqiu City. A large number of different new plant species needed to be sought out by the Soldiers of the Xuanyuan Tribe themselves and then brought back to Changle.

Changle had also cultivated some talented individuals within the Xuanyuan Tribe; they were fast at identifying plants and had good memories, so they became Changle's students in the Xuanyuan Tribe.

At the same time, Changle was helping Cangjie compile a Dictionary for the Xuanyuan Tribe's own script, which was nearing completion. He had also trained some people who could recognize the scripts of both Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe, which could be said to be very important for the future exchanges between Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe.

The script of Huaxia was more mature than that of the Xuanyuan Tribe, but the Xuanyuan Tribe was unwilling to use the Huaxia script. Thus, the two tribes would not yield to each other, leaving the two scripts to run in parallel in the world; cultivating people who could use both scripts simultaneously was therefore imperative.

Because Changle had been helping Cangjie, he had also become a Huaxia person who was very familiar with and proficient in the Xuanyuan Tribe's script. This also included the two Huaxia officials who had been assisting Cangjie all along. Once Cangjie's Dictionary was finished, their mission would be complete, and they could return home.

As for work in areas like astronomy and the calendar, Changle was completely clueless; primarily, he had no contact with it, and he did not have that much time to manage such matters.

He himself still had the Hundred Herbs Compendium of the Xuanyuan Tribe to compile, and there were many things to do, so his days were still very fulfilling.

However, there were still many things that made him feel annoyed, namely the unrestrained women of the Xuanyuan Tribe, who would always rush up from places Changle never expected and grope him all over. This kind of thing was inexplicable in Huaxia, because only men would act like that.

But it was clear that the Xuanyuan Tribe still lacked any concept of family. They only knew that Changle's status was noble; if they could conceive Changle's child, not only would their own descendants be provided for, but they themselves would never have to worry about food or drink, and they might even have the chance to go live in Huaxia.

Originally, because of some conversations with his father, Changle had been preparing that if possible, he would be willing to find a woman in the Xuanyuan Tribe to marry, preferably the daughter of one of those officials or Leaders.

After the reforms, the Xuanyuan Tribe had indeed clarified the status of each official, but their family structures were still not that clear. Changle himself often could not tell which woman belonged to whose family, and as for the ones he could tell apart, he did not like them at all and avoided them whenever possible.

Therefore, Changle already had a certain resistance to finding a woman for himself in the Xuanyuan Tribe. As for Changle's guards, the work they did every day was to guard Changle closely; besides preventing him from being harmed by wild beasts, they also had to be on guard against women looking for any opportunity to drag Changle into the small woods.

The Embassy in the Xuanyuan Tribe had now reached the final stages. They were doing the final renovations, tidying up the house to make it look pretty and nice, and then crafting furniture to put inside. The construction work had ended. During this construction period of several years, some very good Workers of the Xuanyuan Tribe had indeed been cultivated. After this construction ended, they needed to go to Huaxia to study and see if they could pass the exam for Third-level Construction Engineer.

The Xuanyuan Tribe also recognized this grading system of Huaxia and required the Artisans and doctors of their own tribe to go to Huaxia for grading. The difficulty and content of the exams were consistent with Huaxia, and the exam times were also the same.

In the future, when the Xuanyuan Tribe had enough of their own talent and had Artisans and engineers of sufficient rank, they could naturally set up their own exams without needing to go to Huaxia. Xuanyuan recognized the exams because only such standardized assessments could most clearly reveal the extent of a person's ability, which made it more convenient for the Xuanyuan Tribe to make their own arrangements.

The house belonging to Changle had already been built and was one of only two high-rise buildings, possessing three floors; all others were single-story or two-story buildings. A three-story building represented the highest level of houses that Huaxia could currently build. Of course, this was related to the fact that the quality of Huaxia's Cement was not high enough; if they built any higher, the sturdiness and durability of the house could not be guaranteed.

As for why it was one of only two, one was a courtyard belonging to Changle personally, and the height represented his status. The other was prepared for Baifeng; even if Baifeng did not come once a year, the house belonging to Baifeng still had to be built, and it had to be the best. Yulong could represent Baifeng, so he could live there as well; this had been decided at the very beginning of the design.

Changle understood the significance of this height representing status, but he did not like high-rise buildings that much, nor did he like having so many rooms. His own courtyard had an excessive number of rooms, enough to house dozens of people without a problem; now, asking him to live there, he still felt it was too cold and desolate.

The servants brought to take care of his daily life were only two. Let alone asking them to take care of him every day, just cleaning that large courtyard was more than they could finish in a day.

To solve this problem, he could only use his super-powered father to send him more servants before he officially moved in, to guard the place and take care of him. At the same time, those guards could also move in and live on the bottom floor to protect him, which would also be quite good.

Considering that Changle had lived in a dilapidated house for too long, Chai and the others could be said to be running at full power. First, they crafted everything needed for Changle's house and guaranteed that they could finish crafting everything within ten days, move it in, and clean it up. They could even transplant the flowers and Grass that Changle had planted in pottery pots.

Changle did not urge Chai; anyway, he had already grown accustomed to living in that broken house and did not care about these few days. However, seeing that half a year had already passed, some plants might start to wither slowly in the coming time, and now was also the time when a large number of plant fruits were ripening, so Changle wanted to go on a long journey to see places he had never been to before.
