Unless Fang Ruotang absorbs everyone in this plane into the Human Emperor Banner, allowing them to live on in another form, such a large-scale invasion of demons will inevitably lead to death.
All Fang Ruotang could do was try her best to save most people and deal with as many monsters as possible, but to truly survive, they still needed to have the will to live and know how to save themselves.
Moreover, the evolution of the natural order is also an opportunity. If you seize it, it is not impossible to rise to the top in one step. But people must know how to save themselves and cannot just wait for others to help them.
"you are right."
After Shishi finished speaking, she thought of her mother and looked at Fang Ruotang with some hesitation.
Fang Ruotang looked away and saw Shishi looking embarrassed.
"Speak your mind."
"My mother... could she be taken into the Emperor's Banner at that time?"
After Shishi finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head and said seriously, "You know that once you enter the Human Emperor Banner, you will be under my control. Moreover, the more souls you take in, the more powerful the Human Emperor Banner will become. For me, there is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, it is a beneficial thing. But you must understand that after your mother is taken in, she will have to submit to me unconditionally. I can even kill her with a single thought. Are you sure you want her to enter?"
Fang Ruotang never intended to strengthen the Emperor's Banner or become some kind of underworld emperor, even though Xiao Jingzi said that the Emperor's Banner could be viewed as a umbrella for all people, not just an imperial banner.
In any case, whether a weapon is good or evil depends on how the user uses it, but she simply couldn't bring herself to take her family members into her possession and then treat them as weapons.
"Yes, I'm sure. My mother agreed to it after she passed away. I... I can't do anything about it now, but what if I become powerful in the future and find a way to bring my mother back to life?"
Madam Li was just an ordinary person with no talent for cultivation. Even if she took the longevity pill, she couldn't compare to someone like Li Shiyun. She was destined to only accompany Li Shiyun for a short while in her long life.
"Alright, it's fine as long as you two have made up your minds."
Fang Ruotang shared the same idea as Li Shiyun: to find a way to survive in the future.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
With a weight lifted from her mind, Li Shiyun smiled with relief.
"You're not afraid at all."
"I'm not afraid at all, the sect leader is the best."
Doesn't Li Shiyun, a beneficiary of the situation, know this?
Fang Ruotang may not be comprehensive in her actions, but she is definitely protective of her own. She wholeheartedly follows Fang Ruotang, and Fang Ruotang would never harm her or her family. For her to worry about whether she will be controlled by Fang Ruotang in the future is simply heartless and ungrateful. She is wasting Fang Ruotang's kindness to her.
So this was never something she would think about. She was only afraid of making a request to Fang Ruotang that she would find hard to refuse, putting Fang Ruotang in a difficult position. But for the sake of her loving mother, she could only shamelessly ask.
Everyone around Fang Ruotang knew this principle, but no one wanted to teach her the rules of adulthood or guide her on what she should and shouldn't do.
After all, those around her felt that Fang Ruotang had done a great job. She was only sixteen years old, yet she had taken on so much and tried her best to help everyone.
If someone else were in her position, they might not do as well as her, so what right do they have to criticize her?
"Don't think too much. What if we reach the cultivation world and find a way to guide them onto the path of immortality? Wouldn't that be even better?"
Fang Ruotang's voice was full of ease, and she didn't forget to pat Li Shiyun's shoulder to comfort her.
Compared to Li Shiyun, Fang Ruotang has more family members on her mind.
The Prime Minister's residence was bustling with activity.
When Fang Ruotang returned to the mansion, it was already decorated with lanterns and colorful red cloths symbolizing celebration. She saw Cui Shi holding a notebook and talking to the servants.
After she finished speaking, the servant left, and she drew a checkmark on the notebook.
Fang Ruotang skipped over and glanced at it. It was full of things she needed to pay attention to on her wedding day, from the seating arrangements for the guests to the dishes on the table.
After all, hosting a banquet is never an easy task. You have to carefully distinguish which families have a good relationship with which families have a grudge against each other and cannot sit together.
"Aunt, you've worked so hard. You've done so much in such a short time." Fang Ruotang clung to Cui's arm, nuzzling her head against her shoulder.
Just as Cui Shi felt a little tired from being busy since she opened her eyes, she immediately felt better.
She smiled as she looked at the little girl who was acting coquettishly towards her, raised the hand holding the pen, and gently tapped the girl's forehead with the pen tip, saying with a smile, "Auntie, you're not too tired. Our little Liu is getting married soon, so Auntie will naturally make sure it's a grand and glorious occasion for you."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Fang Ruotang smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"By the way, the steward of the Vice Minister's residence was preparing to bring the dowry over early this morning, but I was thinking that there was really no room for it in your courtyard. I was just about to ask you about this. Why don't you put it in your own residence?"
The Prime Minister prepared six connected residences for Fang Ruotang, and the whole family knew about it. Moreover, Vice Minister Ye had already prepared the residences, so they could move in at any time.
“Sure!” Fang Ruotang readily agreed.
"What dowry should I offer, Mother? Have you decided yet?"
The Prime Minister's family never intended to marry Fang Ruotang off, so she was different from other young ladies from noble families. She didn't have a dowry saved up from a young age, but she still had a lot of things to her name, and her storeroom was much larger than that of her other sisters in the family.
"Your mother is leading the maids and servants to inventory things in your storeroom! A share will also be contributed from the public treasury, the same amount as when your second brother got married."
“Okay,” Fang Ruotang readily agreed.
She didn't care about any of that, and didn't ask any specific questions.
Seeing that her aunt had only spoken a few words to her, and several housekeepers and maids had come over to ask for instructions, she decided not to stay and cause any trouble.
Back in the courtyard, seeing that Shu Shi couldn't offer any help, he simply went back inside and started talking to Xiao Jingzi.
“You mentioned last time that you had some communication jade. Give me a few, and I’ll give one to each of the Crown Prince and the others. If there’s a large-scale invasion by demons and the Tianyi Sect doesn’t have enough manpower, the seven of us will definitely have to split up.”
I fiddled with the small mirror for a bit.
[Your Highness, speak.]
【Huh?】 Fang Ruotang was startled and was about to ask when the Crown Prince's voice rang in her mind.
[Sixth grade?]
【Hey, Crown Prince, can we talk like this now?】
"What's going on?" Huo Zhige's voice suddenly rang out.
Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed with delight.
[Little Mirror, you're amazing! How did you come up with this? This...this is just like the group chat from the previous dimension! It's fantastic! Does this mean I can just call them in my mind whenever I want to find them?]
Yes! You can call them anytime, but it's a one-way street; they can't always reach out to you.
Oh, hehe!
Fang Ruotang chuckled, thinking it was quite nice; otherwise, she would be driven crazy by six men and a small mirror talking into her mind anytime, anywhere.
