Zhong Yuxi looked at her, pursed her lips and said, "It's been verified. My father sent a message up and got a reply. He said to follow the arrangements."
Shu Jianyue frowned slightly. "Who did your father send the message to?"
“Lord Rong Jin, our Zhong family has always been in contact with Lord Rong Jin, so naturally we passed it on to you.” Zhong Yuxi also realized that something was wrong.
"Madam, has something happened?"
Shu Jianyue raised her hand slightly, then lowered her eyes, thinking, "Could this kind of message really be intercepted?"
So she sent a telepathic message to Chong Jiu, asking him if he could intercept the message.
Chong Jiu had been keeping an eye on them, so he knew what she was thinking and answered her.
Messages can be intercepted, but it's not easy.
Shu Jianyue looked at Zhong Yuxi and asked, "Tell me the purpose of your visit."
Zhong Yuxi immediately said, "Yuxi has no ulterior motive. It's just that when I came out of seclusion, I learned that Father hadn't come to pay his respects for so long. This is the fault of our Zhong family, so..."
Seeing his sincerity, Shu Jianyue stopped arguing. "Alright, I understand the Zhong family's intentions. You can go back now and prepare to move back tomorrow."
Zhong Yuxi looked at her and said, "I heard from Father that the Divine Lord and his wife are planning to move to the Spirit Beast Sect, is that right?"
“Yes.” Shu Jianyue looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Zhong Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know why you two don't live in the Jiuze Temple, I'm afraid you two might not be used to living in the Spirit Beast Sect."
"Oh, why?" Shu Jianyue looked at him with great interest.
Zhong Yuxi became nervous as she looked at her like that. "The houses of the Spirit Beast Sect are mostly built of stone, but they are much darker than our houses."
"Furthermore, their disciples are quite easygoing, so they might disturb you two."
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're very thoughtful. However, we don't live in those kinds of houses, so there won't be any problems."
"As for being spontaneous, I am also very spontaneous."
Zhong Yuxi was speechless.
Shu Jianyue thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, how many people in your Zhong family know that we've come to Shenzhou?"
Zhong Yuxi was stunned for a moment and said, "My father, my ancestor, my uncle, and finally me."
Shu Jianyue scratched her chin and said, "Have them all come over here. The Divine Lord has some instructions."
Zhong Yuxi's eyes lit up. If someone had something to say, it meant that the Zhong family would still be of use to them. She was afraid that the God would never need the Zhong family again.
"Okay, call them over right away."
Just as Shu Jianyue was about to say there was no need to rush, Zhong Yuxi had already run out.
As soon as Zhong Yuxi left, Chong Jiu appeared beside Shu Jianyue, picked her up and placed her on his lap, saying, "You've worked hard."
Shu Jianyue gave him a reproachful look, "It's just a few words, why bother?"
"What are you going to say to them when they come over?"
“A simple warning is enough; too much explanation is counterproductive,” Chong Jiu said, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Shu Jianyue nodded.
The Zhong family arrived quickly. Shu Jianyue walked to a seat next to her and looked at the four people who came in.
The patriarch of the Zhong family walked at the front and knelt down as soon as he entered the front hall.
Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched. Was she preparing to apologize with a bundle of thorns on her back?
"Please punish me, God!" the Zhong family patriarch cried out, slamming his head against the ground.
Zhong Ranxin was startled by his ancestor's action. This was not pre-arranged, and he was completely unaware of it.
Zhong Yuxi wasn't much better off; only Zhong Ransi looked slightly better.
Although they didn't understand their ancestor's intentions, they all knelt down as well.
Chong Jiu looked at him indifferently and said, "Oh, what crime have you committed?"
"The sins of mismanagement, the sins of being timid and hesitant, the sins of being careless, the sins of failing to see the master in time." The patriarch of the Zhong family listed a series of sins against himself, which made Shu Jianyue click her tongue in amazement.
Chong Jiu remained calm throughout, "How do you wish to be punished by me?"
The patriarch of the Zhong family paused, and after a while said, "I will leave it to the deity to decide."
Shu Jianyue also admired his ability to be flexible and adaptable. "Alright, I didn't bring you here to hear these things. I have a few instructions for you. If you do them well, nothing will happen."
The patriarch of the Zhong family looked at her and said, "Please give your instructions, Madam."
"First, you must not reveal to anyone that I, the Divine Lord, and others have come to the Divine Continent. This must be kept absolutely secret."
"Secondly, starting today, no one may contact anyone in the temple without the God's permission. A new God will be appointed from above."
"Third, if your Zhong family wants to continue to manage the Jiuze Temple, you need to find someone else to take charge. The current head of the Zhong family is not suited to management."
"If you can complete the above tasks well, I will give your Zhong family a special reward. I will definitely not treat your Zhong family unfairly. If you cannot do so, then the Zhong family's time ends here."
After Shu Jianyue finished speaking, she glanced indifferently at the four members of the Zhong family.
The Zhong family patriarch looked very uneasy, as if he was deep in thought.
Zhong Ranxin's face was pale, and if Zhong Yuxi hadn't been supporting him, he would have collapsed at any moment.
Zhong Ransi lowered his head, but his tightly clenched hands betrayed his thoughts.
Zhong Yuxi, while supporting Zhong Ranxin, looked at Shu Jianyue, seemingly pondering her purpose.
Chong Jiu looked up at them. "What, you have a problem with that?"
The Zhong family patriarch immediately shook his head, "No, the Zhong family can do it."
Chong Jiu raised his hand and drew several runes with a single finger, injecting them into their bodies, saying, "Don't worry, these runes will not have any effect on you; on the contrary, they will help you in your cultivation."
