"Get used to it!"

Bai Nong couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Although our Xinli has a peculiar architectural style, it is much more comfortable to live in than imagined. I heard that these standard houses were designed by you, Wuji. You are worthy of being the bloodline of our Bai family!"

Although he had tried to seize Ying Wuji's position as the master before.

But there was no falsehood in these words of praise.

It seems that he really likes Xinli from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not all my design. The craftsmen of the Mozhe Guild put in a lot of effort."

…

Ying Wuji smiled but didn't dare to take all the credit on himself. After all, he didn't know much about urban construction. Although he had watched documentaries in his previous life, he only had a general impression of it. Even if his body was covered with awakening talismans, it would be impossible for him to plan the entire city by himself.

There are quite a few skilled craftsmen in the Mohist Guild, whose ancestors had participated in the construction planning of Zhongyuan Dacheng. It is thanks to them that every detail is taken care of.

Although Xinli today seems to lack cultural heritage, its practicality and living comfort definitely surpass many famous cities in the Central Plains.

He did not give Bai Nong time to continue boasting, and asked again: "Just now I saw many Bai family disciples building houses. Did you order it, Great Elder?"

"They will do it whether I tell them to or not!"

Bai Nong stroked his beard and sighed, "For thousands of years, our Bai family has been living in the outer domain without a fixed place, especially in the last few hundred years of decline. Often, we haven't lived in a place for long before some large groups of demons come to see the rich spiritual energy.

We only have the identity of descendants of the Celestials, but we have lost our powerful strength. Even if we fight, we may not be defeated.

But if we attract other ethnic groups, we will definitely be in trouble.

So we had to move frequently.

Whenever we arrive at a new place, the first thing we do is to build a house.

The traditions left over from thousands of years have been engraved in our bones.

I am older, and as a child, I spent some time in the Outlands.

Later, he lived in the two countries of Rong and Di, then went to Gan, and finally came to Li.

The enthusiasm of the young people in our Bai family for their new home has never ceased. "

When he said this, there was light in his slightly cloudy eyes.

Although a little sad.

But more of it is hope.

Ying Wuji was even somewhat moved by what he saw, and the grudge that he had to begin with, seemed to have faded a little.

He smiled and said, "If possible, we won't move this time!"

This sentence is half true and half false.

Ying Wuji sincerely hopes that the Bai family can take root here. If the Bai family can integrate with peace of mind and not have those messy ideas, they will be able to live in harmony with the Li people and completely integrate in a few hundred years.

It also saves me the trouble of starting a business abroad.

After all, not everyone wants to step out of their comfort zone.

There is a house, a child and a wife here.

What do you do when you have nothing to do?

But he knew that it was impossible to keep the Bai family completely peaceful.

Thousands of years ago, this family took the initiative to break the barriers between the Celestials and the Humans, but were exiled after the Humans won.

Thousands of years later, they moved into the country of Qian again, but were stabbed in the back again by an internal and external attack.

Not to mention the Yingtian faction.

Even if you are a prophecy believer, it is probably difficult for you to trust others easily.

He also wanted to test Bai Nong's thoughts.

Bai Nong pondered for a moment, but did not comment on this statement. Instead, he looked up towards the northwest.

There stood a tall building.

It was the newly established Dali Academy.

He stroked his beard and said, "Wuji! On the day we set out, His Majesty King Li, as the head of the academy, issued a call for talents to the world. In just a few days, many students from hundreds of schools rushed here day and night and have already settled down.

…

The young talents among the common people in Xindi were even more enthusiastic.

Even many Wei and Han residents who migrated from Li's homeland arrived.

I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that with so many people coming this time, it might be difficult for the Dali Academy to accommodate them all.

Therefore, the families stationed in the new areas were encouraged to train young people to learn military strategies on behalf of the court.

But you also know that the Wei and Han families cannot possibly participate.

The Li family was destroyed.

The others are also earthen chickens and clay dogs.

On the other hand, our Bai family has a profound knowledge and when it comes to cultivation methods, the nobles in the world can hardly even compare to us.

Moreover, I met some young people from Xindi. Although their innate physical constitutions are not good, they are full of energy, have good basic skills, and high comprehension. They will have great potential in the future!

so……"

Ying Wuji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Great Elder, do you mean that we are the free laborers of the court?"

Bai Nong shook his head and lowered his voice, "What I mean is that our Bai family cannot be completely without a foundation in the new land. Although these young people are all professors of our acting imperial court, they also have a real teacher-student relationship. As long as they become officials and generals in the future, our Bai family will have completely established a foothold."

Ying Wuji smiled: "Great Elder, are you really just thinking about maintaining your own status by using the friendship between students? Don't you have any other ideas, for example..."

Bai Nong's face darkened: "Wuji, it's meaningless if you explain it so clearly!"

Of course he wants to rely on this to become a powerful official!

Ying Wuji shook his head helplessly. As expected...it was basically impossible to ban this kind of thinking in the Bai family.

He pursed his lips and said, "But Great Elder, our Bai family doesn't have such a great reputation after all. You are like the teachers in the academy, each of them has a great reputation. If they really compete with us, how can we win over them?"

"Isn't that you?"

Bai Nong looked quite proud: "Let's not talk about the entire Central Plains, your reputation is at least a golden sign in Li Country. As long as you can attract the first batch of talented young people, we can use the Tianren clan's secret training techniques to train a group of elites.

As long as the first step is taken, it will be possible to leverage the momentum to influence the entire Dali, allowing the new generation of young people to completely monopolize both the military and political circles of Dali.

The first battle with the demon race must be not far away. By then, as long as we can show our prestige, we can take the opportunity to defeat the entire celestial race and lead the human race to exterminate all the demons."

Ying Wuji: “…”

really.

Mother is right.

Maybe because he is the oldest, this elder is most aware of the horror of the demon clan today, so his mind is full of thoughts about how to welcome the celestial clan.

This is actually understandable.

but……

Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "How did the Great Elder know that the first battle with the demon tribe is not far away? Did the State of Chu tell you, or did the demon tribe tell you, or... did the Emperor of Zhou tell you?"

Bai Nong looked solemn and not panicked at all.

Just staring at Ying Wuji quietly.
