"Alright, let's get to something useful. In a private house where it's impossible to build a shelter, you can provide a plot of land or an empty house, either way will do."

Reminded by Gu Yanjin and Ye Wuxia, she understood why she subconsciously felt something was wrong, and thus interrupted the people's discussion.

She made the final decision, and no one dared to object.

The room fell silent for a moment, then someone quickly suggested another location.

An elderly woman said, "Actually, about five miles outside the city, there is a small hill with a dilapidated old temple on it. I think it would be a good place to build a refuge. It has been abandoned for more than ten years, and there is a stream on the hill."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruotang also felt that the place the old lady described was very good.

"This location sounds great, ma'am. Would it be convenient for you to show us around?"

The elderly woman was flattered and excitedly said, "That's convenient, that's convenient, shall we go now?"

"Yes, let's go now!"

Fang Ruotang originally planned to build a shelter when she left this place the next day, but now that her identity has been revealed, it is no longer possible to sit here and drink tea and listen to stories. It would be better to get down to business.

She had slept all day, and her energy had been restored.

"Why don't we wait until tomorrow? You just drew the talisman this morning." Gu Yanjin immediately stood up and stepped forward, not quite agreeing with Fang Ruotang's selfless dedication.

Fang Ruotang spread her hands, turned around in front of Gu Yanjin, and said with a smile, "I'm fine! I know what I'm doing and I won't make things difficult for myself."

"Alright! But don't push yourself too hard later. You don't need to claim such a large area. Just do what you can. Releasing the energy in your body can raise your threshold, but you don't have to do it every time. It will make you feel very uncomfortable." Gu Yanjin frowned and reminded her, looking like he was at a loss with Fang Ruotang.

"Okay, I understand!"

Even Gu Yanjin couldn't persuade Fang Ruotang, and the other five men didn't say anything either. The group left the teahouse and headed out of the city.

Those who heard about it along the way followed.

Fang Ruotang looked back and saw a dense crowd of heads. She was stunned and whispered to Huo Zhige, who was protecting her.

"How does this formation compare to a direct confrontation between two armies?"

Huo Zhige turned around and replied in a low voice, "They're about the same."

Fang Ruotang's expression brightened upon receiving approval. She said, "Right! I have the feeling of a bandit leader leading a group of underlings to fight for territory against the leader of another mountain."

Huo Zhige laughed arrogantly, "Then we will definitely be able to take over the opposite mountain and seize their territory."

"That's right, we are the strongest!" Fang Ruotang excitedly waved her little fist, her smile radiant.

The sunlight shone on her face, like the warm winter sun piercing through the clouds, instantly dispelling all the cold. At this moment, even hardship seemed insignificant.

Huo Zhige could respond to Fang Ruotang's strange remarks, and the other five were unusually not jealous. After all, the smile on Fang Ruotang's face at that moment was so beautiful that they couldn't help but smile along with her.

"Look, the Imperial Advisor really makes us women proud. All six men seem to like her. Look at the way they're laughing so shamelessly, oh my!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."

"No way, how could we hear that? With so many people talking, who would notice us?"

"That's true!"

"When I can achieve the same level of success as the Grand Preceptor, I would gladly die right now."

“I wish it were like that too, one person could stay home to cook and do housework, another could eat and sleep with me, and the other four could go out to work to earn money for my mother. You don’t know how my husband is doing, and now he’s bringing back less and less money.”

"Hey! Who says otherwise! I heard that when the Imperial Preceptor married Lady Ye, Lady Ye's dowry stretched for ten miles. There must have been a lot of silver in that!"

"Of course! Marrying the Crown Prince would definitely be even more. The Grand Preceptor isn't smart enough. If it were me, I'd marry all six, collect six dowries, and just sit at home counting money!"

...

The two women behind them chatted as if no one else was around.

Fang Ruotang's smile gradually faded, eventually turning into embarrassment.

Seeing that the people behind her were about to get into something lewd, she couldn't help but turn around with her face flushed and say, "Stop talking, we can hear you."

The two elderly women who were talking paused for a moment, then were startled, blushed with embarrassment, and quickly shrank back.

"Our sixth sister is amazing, she has become a role model for women all over the world." Cui Shixu smiled gently, but his teasing words did not spare Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang awkwardly called out, "Brother Ziqi..."

"Well... if you men can have one wife and multiple concubines, why can't we women? We're all human beings, so if you can do it, we can too."

"Yes, yes, yes, our sixth sister is right." Cui Shixu coaxed her, agreeing with her. After all, even he, a prince, had become a concubine, so why couldn't other men do the same?

Laughing and joking, they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The old woman immediately said, "This is it. The hill isn't high. There's a dilapidated old temple halfway up the hill, and a stream behind the temple. There's no shortage of water."

"Let's go take a look."

Accompanied by the old lady, Fang Ruotang walked around the hilltop and found it to be a very good location. She immediately decided that this was the place to go.

Drawing talismans on the spot.

The people didn't leave, but they didn't dare to disturb her. Thousands of them watched Fang Ruotang quietly.

Seeing her small figure stand in the middle, her expression suddenly changed, becoming solemn and dignified. At that moment, the people realized that this person was the Grand Preceptor.
