Chapter 24: Returning to the Clan

"Good! There is actually another one, and it is of my Li family bloodline!"

Listening to Li Tongya's gentle voice on the stage, Ye Chengfu jumped up from the ground like an electric shock, looking excitedly at Ye Qiuyang, who was at a loss on the stage, wishing he could laugh three times to the sky.

"Since you have the surname Ye, who is your father?"

Li Tongya asked with a smile.

"Ye... Ye Chengfu."

Ye Qiuyang looked at Ye Chengfu, who was dancing on the stage, and answered timidly.

"Congratulations, Brother Chengfu."

Li Tongya looked down along the child's gaze, greeted with a smile.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Ye Chengfu did not dare to be big, very polite, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, cupped his hands excitedly, and answered respectfully.

Li Tongya shook his head with a smile, tested the remaining few one by one, and said loudly:

"The rest are without fate. Everyone in charge, stay, and the others go back to the village."

The crowd below stirred for a while, and the sounds of regret came one after another. After making a noise for a cup of tea, they left the village in different directions. Li Yesheng, who was beside Li Tongya, stood out and said:

"Three managers, follow me to the Li family courtyard to check the land deeds and accounts."

The three Chen Erniu naturally responded in unison and followed Li Yesheng to the Li family.

Li Tongya walked off the stage, looked at the excited Ye Chengfu and the Liu clan elder of Jingyang Village, and said softly:

"Follow me, everyone."

Ye Chengfu nodded repeatedly, holding his child tightly in his arms as he walked, tears streaming down his face for a time, only saying in a low voice:

"Good, good."

————

Ye Chengfu and Ye Qiuyang burned incense in the ancestral hall, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and returned to the clan surname under the witness of all the Li family members.

"Clan Leader!"

As the oldest direct descendant of the Li clan, Li Mutian naturally sat high in the first seat in the courtyard. The two followed the rules and offered tea to Li Mutian first, kneeling in front of him to listen respectfully.

"Qiuyang is also a disciple of the Li clan. Since he has spiritual apertures, he must naturally pass down the technique."

Li Mutian took a wooden slip from his hand and said softly again:

"The clan bestows the 'Qingyuan Wheel-Nurturing Method'. You must practice hard, respect the sect and serve the Dao, be kind to your relatives and harmonize with your clan, and absolutely must not reveal the secret of the immortal technique, so as to attract others' covetousness."

The boy, who was now Li Qiuyang, bowed down, his eyes firm, and replied:

"Remember the Clan Leader's teachings."

Li Mutian nodded and arranged.

"Yes!"

Li Qiuyang stood up and took the wooden slip from his hand. After all, he was an eight or nine-year-old child. When he turned around, he brought a bit of crying, choked and said to his father Li Chengfu:

"Father, then the child will go to practice with the main family."

"Good, good! Don't worry about things at home at all. Dad will carry clothes and utensils to the Jingyang small courtyard to send to you tomorrow. You practice well, you practice well..."

Ye Chengfu nodded repeatedly, his eyes red as he instructed.

"Come, Qiuyang."

Li Xiangping smiled lightly, took Li Qiuyang's little hand, nodded to his father Li Mutian, and went out.

"Chengfu, you also go and pack up, and move to the back of the village in a few days."

Li Mutian coughed, frowned and said.

Ye Chengfu responded repeatedly, looked at the expressions of the two, and hurriedly resigned.

Watching Ye Chengfu hurry away, Li Mutian said in a deep voice:

"Father's arrangement is good. Let the Li family watch the Jingyang Village of the Liu family, and transfer the immortal cultivators of the Liu family to Lijing to watch, so as to prevent them from growing big."

Li Tongya said in amazement, admiringly:

"Still early."

Li Mutian narrowed his eyes, took a light sip of clear tea, and continued:

"These children don't have the assistance of the mirror, and they don't have any cultivation resources and elixirs. How long will it take to cultivate Xuanjing?"

"Far more!"

Li Tongya shook his head and explained:

"I read the Qingyuan Wheel-Nurturing Technique. The magic power cultivated is probably floating and weak, and there are many burdens in the operation of magic power. It will take more than three years to refine Xuanjing."

"That's it. Since the achievement of the Qingyuan Wheel-Nurturing Technique is not as good, and the speed is not as good, there is no need to guard against anything, but it is just to leave a hand in everything."

"Father is right."

Li Tongya nodded, put down the tea in his hand, and seeing Li Mutian looking into the distance as if lost in thought, he bowed and resigned with a bitter smile.

Li Mutian sat alone in the high position in the courtyard, and sighed softly after a long while.

"Not ruthless enough..."

————

Xu Wenshan had been in charge of Lidao Mouth for more than four months. Several partners had been arranged, and the villagers were all obedient.

He, Xu Wenshan, was originally from managing a caravan, so it was natural for him to manage a small village. Lidao Mouth had mixed surnames. Although the situation was complicated, it also lacked the constraints of large families. Xu Wenshan mastered everything in the village in one month.

It was just that when he was idle, Xu Wenshan pondered how he could make contributions in front of the main family, so as to cover up that Chen Erniu. Just sitting in this village collecting rent and keeping accounts was really underestimating him, Xu Wenshan.

Bored, he flipped through the map in his hand, lost in thought.

"Only with enemies can I get close to Xu Wenshan!" He thought proudly.

Furthermore, when he, Xu Wenshan, managed the caravan, he never liked the people below to be too friendly, and always had to provoke some contradictions.

If he said that the Li family had no eyes and ears in these villages, Xu Wenshan would not believe it at all. By measuring others by himself, Xu Wenshan naturally had to fight with that Chen Erniu, so that the main family would be happy to see it.

"I have already won too much against that Chen Erniu."

He muttered to himself, his thoughts returned to the map in front of him, looking at the crooked Kong Guli Road on the map, his heart suddenly stirred.

"Why don't I go back to my old business?"

He slapped his thigh and thought happily:

"The villages are trapped in this Kong Guli Road, goods cannot circulate, every household farms and weaves, self-sufficient. I, Xu Wenshan, have worked on that road for more than twenty years, can't I do it on this road?"

"The main family has cultivated the immortal path, so these mortal goods are dispensable. It is better to open up the mountain road and sell these grains and silk fabrics. Perhaps I can exchange them for some jade and spiritual objects. This is what is useful."

Thinking of this, Xu Wenshan couldn't sit still. He called several partners who had fled together, and when he told them about this, they all clapped and cheered.

"I will go to the main family to explain it in detail!"

Xu Wenshan laughed loudly and went out with his partners. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
