However, before Luo Yao could finish processing the document in his hands,footsteps echoed from outside the room.
Listening to the footsteps, one could infer
that the people gradually approaching the room were not few in number.
Driven by curiosity, Luo Yao couldn’t help but quietly lift his head and look forward.
Yet, what caught him by surprise again was
...
that right before him,
there were about a dozen Luo Family servants, each carrying an almost one-meter-tall stack of government affairs documents,
slowly walking towards Luo Yao’s direction.
“What does this mean?”
As Luo Yao watched, he couldn’t help but frown slightly,
and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
But quickly,
Luo Yao realized a potentially terrifying possibility had crossed his mind.
“Wait, wait a minute.”
“These government affairs, they couldn’t all be…
Luo Yao thought solemnly to himself.
And as the Luo Family servants carrying the government affairs documents entered the room,
the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family seated in the main position, Luo Ping,
suddenly put down the government affairs he was dealing with.
He smiled faintly and said in a low voice to Luo Yao, who was seated beside him, “Yes, these government affairs have all been prepared especially for you. The amount wasn’t this much initially, but alas…”
As he spoke, Luo Ping shook his head silently.
By this time, Luo Yao’s eyes had widened to the fullest,
and his round eyes flashed with disbelief and anxiety.
“This, this, this…”
“Family Head, this isn’t necessary, is it?”
Luo Yao turned his head, looking somewhat tearfully at Luo Ping beside him,
with a plea in his eyes.
However, regarding Luo Yao’s gestures,
Luo Ping, as the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, acted as if he saw nothing at all.
In fact, he even burst into hearty laughter.
The shock, anxiety, and unease that Luo Yao felt
appeared to be the greatest amusement for him during this time.
“The government affairs accumulated during this period are indeed a bit much.”
“So, there’s no need for you to deal with them all within a single day.”
“How about this, I’ll set a timeframe.”
“Three days, how about handling all these government affairs within three days?”
“Three days should be sufficient, right?”
Luo Ping said, still smiling, to Luo Yao beside him.
To this, Luo Yao could only nod in resignation, what else could he do?
Three days then. It would be three days.
At the worst, he would just have to work harder and stay up late during these three days.
After all, he would be able to handle these government affairs.
“By the way,”
“during this trip outside, the matters concerning the rights to operate the brothel and the gambling house should be almost settled, right?”
At the main seat,
as Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, gradually regained his initial calm,
he asked Luo Yao next to him in a low voice.
Luo Yao nodded and replied softly, “It’s more or less settled.”
Luo Ping looked very pleased and said, “Good, since that’s the case, take the next two days to sort this out a little. Once it’s done, issue the rules regarding the operation of the brothel and gambling house, and have the cities below strictly implement them.”
Listenting to these words, Luo Yao just kept nodding without voicing any objections.
After all, for him now,
the situation was akin to having so many lice that one stops worrying about being bitten.
With so many matters already needing attention,
he naturally did not mind taking on one more task.
…
As Luo Yao’s matters came to a pause,
the real focus in the following period
gradually shifted towards the Da Feng Dynasty’s Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect.
A while back, hadn’t Fu Qiu, the Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect in charge of all affairs,
said?
The Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect wanted to dispatch someone for inspection.
Time had long passed now.
Surely, the people from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect must be arriving soon?
…
Qingshi City, deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within a small courtyard that perpetually emitted waves of ancient and mysterious aura,
underneath a stone pavilion simply constructed with slate.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, was seated on a stone bench beneath the pavilion.
In his hand, he held a cup of tea still wafting trails of steam.
As he drank, he appeared to be silently waiting for someone.
“Elder Changfeng, did you… call for me?”
Before long,
a somewhat hurried figure appeared before Luo Changfeng’s eyes.
The owner of that figure was Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family.
However, in front of his own ancestor,
Luo Ping, the Patriarch, couldn’t possibly exhibit the demeanor he had displayed before the youngster Luo Yao.
It wasn’t even about treating the venerable Elder Changfeng informally.
At this moment, Luo Ping had his back almost bent to its limit.
His eyes were continuously looking down at the ground,
never daring to meet the gaze of his ancestor, Elder Changfeng, who, in his heart, loomed with immeasurable dignity.
“I have summoned you this time to discuss a matter,”
Luo Changfeng said in a calm and soft voice.
Luo Ping responded with utmost respect, “What would you like to discuss, Elder Changfeng?”
After finishing his cup of hot tea, Luo Changfeng slowly said, “I need to leave the family for a while to visit the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty. So, be a bit more cautious in your actions during this period. If something does occur…”
As he spoke, Luo Changfeng pulled out three talismans from his storage ring.
These talismans were known as Sound Transmission Talismans.
Corresponding to them were another three,
of course, still in Luo Changfeng’s possession.
“If there really is an issue, just channel your Qi-Blood Force into one of these Sound Transmission Talismans,”
“and clarify the situation to me,”
“then, I will return.”
“Of course, if there’s nothing of importance, you need not use these talismans.”
Having said that, Luo Changfeng waved his hand towards Luo Ping.
The matter was settled, and all had been said.
You may leave now.
Luo Ping, who was the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, was also quite sensible.
After sensing the implications from his ancestor, Elder Changfeng, he turned around and left the courtyard.
…
Inside the courtyard,
As Luo Ping gradually left,
Luo Changfeng, who sat beneath the stone pavilion, again waved his hand.
He pulled out from his storage ring a boat about the size of his palm.
This boat was known as the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat.
Such types of Sky-float Boats were renowned for their defensive capabilities, which could be considered heaven-defying.
However, regrettably…
The Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat in Luo Changfeng’s possession could, at most, be considered a version 1.0.
It might not even meet the standards of the version 1.0 Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat.
Now, this device had nothing more than its most basic navigation capabilities.
It seemed to have no other functions left.
It lacked any sort of defense or offense.
Everything was absent.
Luo Changfeng had crafted this device merely to see how fast it could sail.
If it was fast enough, it might be worthwhile to use.
If it couldn’t compare to other modes of transportation, or even his own speed,
it was better to forget about it and do more research instead.
He should improve it until it reached the true version 1.0 Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat.
“Let’s give it a try…”
Luo Changfeng murmured softly.
Then, he tossed the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat he held in his hand into the air.
Fueled by the power from Spirit Stones,
the size of the Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat inflated with the wind.
