Chapter 1021 Human Effort Makes Things Happen
The previous chapter has been replaced; it may be slower on some platforms.
Help! This has happened several times already. I got so anxious that I messed up the transmission. When I came back from the bathroom, I found that it had been synchronized. It was originally the content of the new book.

As if it were all planned, Master Han and his group returned just as breakfast was laid out on the table.
The children, who were about to start eating, had to withdraw their hands and stand up to greet the elders.
"Master, where did you go last night? Why are you back now?"
"Was it thundering last night?"
"Oh, right, it looks like it's raining, but why is there no sign of rain outside?"
"Master Han, please sit down. You've returned just in time for breakfast and morning tea."
Several children sat together, their attitude very attentive.
The elders initially appreciated it, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Why are you being so well-behaved and obedient today? Did you get into trouble?" Lord Zhao looked at Tu Dan'er's bruised eyes. "Who hit you?"
Tu Dan glanced at Wu Ji, turned his head, snorted, stepped out of the house, and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
"Wuji, you hit him?"
Wuji was somewhat unconvinced, "Who told him to act like a thug, doing all sorts of things? I taught him a lesson."
The others ate while laughing, without saying a word.
"Changfeng, tell me, what kind of trouble has Tudan'er gotten himself into this time?" Zhang Chengxuan knew that his apprentice was the most troublesome.
Changfeng was a little embarrassed to say it, so Changyun got up and leaned close to Master Zhang, whispering something to him.
Zhang Chengxuan's expression was strange, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He picked up a piece of pancake and said, "I'll go take a look."
The others didn't ask any further questions, guessing that it was Tudan'er's carelessness that had angered Wuji.
"Master Han, how did things go last night?"
Master Han nodded, "There were basically no mistakes. We caught them all and taught them a lesson. One or two escaped our spell coverage and will probably come back. We will stay for a couple more days."
He looked slightly melancholy as he spoke.
"We've been traveling together for so long, it feels strange to suddenly have to part ways."
All good things must come to an end. Song Chunxue put down her teacup and asked, "Where are you going?"
“The matter of Prince Xuan has been settled. I’m going to the capital with Lord Zhao. There are a few minor matters in the court that require our assistance.” He didn’t mention that it was related to Lord Xie. “In short, you should focus on your cultivation from now on and keep your families and children away from home. The world is turbulent, so it’s best to be cautious.”
Song Chunxue nodded, thinking that since Tudan'er wanted to build a house, she would have to wait a while longer.
"By the way, Zhang Chengxuan," Master Han handed him a thick piece of parchment covered with notes, "you oversee the layout of this courtyard for her. I trust you with this kind of thing."
Did you hear that? Master Han said he's worried about you.
Worry-free reappeared.
Song Chunxue turned her head and saw Wuyou floating at the doorway, slowly walking towards her.
"Wuyou's here. Where did you go last night?" Lord Zhao gestured. "Come here, would you like to come with me to the capital?"
Wuyou obediently came to Lord Zhao and said, “I went to dig in the soil last night. There was a licorice root growing on the edge of their field. It was very thick and had been there for at least eight years. I couldn’t resist and dug all night. I finally dug it out.”
Song Chunxue snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you dig it?"
"It's on the ridge next to the sheepfold... Why are you going there?"
"Go check if the sheepfold has collapsed!"
This sword is really something; if it were to come into contact with Tu Dan'er, the two of them would definitely run rampant.
When she arrived at the sheepfold and saw the scene before her, she was so angry that her eyes blazed with stars. She stretched out her left hand and beckoned, "Wuyou!"
The next moment, Wuyou appeared in her hand.
"Look at the mess you've made! What should your punishment be?"
"Hmm, hmm, don't be angry." Wuyou began to whine and plead, "I just thought the licorice on this wall was easy to dig up, so I couldn't resist digging up a few more..."
"Then you just overturned my sheep pen, and you know that the straw inside could be used to plaster the walls?"
“You have money to buy bricks, what’s a little bit of cheap fodder? Anyway, we’re not raising sheep anymore.”
Tu Dan'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the sword's sophistry.
"Don't laugh. You touched someone's private parts and you still have the nerve to laugh at me? I was just being playful, but you had evil intentions."
Tu Dan'er tossed aside the clod of dirt in his hand, pointed at Wu You, and threatened with his hands on his hips, "Say that again? Where did I have any impure thoughts? Boys getting together are bound to be reckless, that was an accident. It's one thing for city people to be delicate, but to be so fussy about a sword, no wonder you... Ouch~ you hit me?"
Wuyou chased after Tudan'er and hit him on the head, "You brat, you don't respect your elders. I'm your senior, how dare you lecture me? Are you tired of living?"
"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master, save me! Your sword is hitting me..." Suddenly, he realized that someone was standing in front of him.
Master Zhang put his hands on his hips and said, "Go and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes for half an hour."
"Yes." Tu Dan'er pouted, but did not disobey.
"Wuyou, you will also stand facing the wall in reflection, together with Tudan'er. The two of you will supervise each other, and if either of you slacks off, you will have an extra hour."
"Song Chunxue, how dare you... mmm mmm..." Wuyou found herself being controlled and standing in front of the courtyard wall.
Before long, the bricklayers arrived.
Seeing that the sheepfold might collapse, they simply combined the two plots of land. Previously, the two plots of land were quite different, but now they are divided into five small terraces, one small terrace at a time, right at the edge, where they will plant trees and bamboo in the future.
Pushing excess soil down into the yard can make the space around the yard more spacious and flatter.
Without further ado, a group of people worked with the craftsmen they had called in to build terraced fields.
Master Han remained seated, leaving the rest of the work to him to finish up that evening.
As noon approached, everyone sat down to drink tea and rest. Tudan and Wuyou were separated after arguing; one was digging a hole to plant a tree, while the other was hung on a tree.
Wuyou's mouth didn't stop either, "Someone's coming, oh, what a strong sense of illness."
Everyone turned to look down the path. Song Chunxue, leaning on her shovel, saw Huang San carrying his wife and struggling up the slope.
Zhang Chengxuan laughed, "You've finally arrived; you're not too stupid."
That day, Song Chunxue went to the Huang family and talked about their situation. Master Zhang was just waiting for them to come to their door.
The cause and effect of the Huang family should not be easily interfered with, but their fate is truly lamentable.
But now that they've come to us in person, that's a different story.
Lord Xie asked curiously, "You can save them?"
Lord Zhao also joined in, saying, "Their problems certainly can't be solved with ordinary medical techniques. You've heard of witch doctors, haven't you?"
"I've heard of it; I've heard that the Miao region is particularly skilled in it."
Lord Zhao laughed, "But it's definitely not as good as Master's. After the apprenticeship ceremony, Master must have given Junior Brother the secret manual he's good at, so dealing with this small problem will be a piece of cake."
At this point, he turned to Xie Zheng and said, "You need to step up your game; now we're just waiting for you."
Xie Zheng nodded, "I will finish my final mission in this mortal world as soon as possible, and then become an apprentice."
"Why not first become an apprentice, then rise rapidly and complete your mission more smoothly?" Lord Zhao looked at Huang San, who was approaching. "Being an apprentice requires initiative and sincerity. See? It's all up to you."
Xie Zheng suddenly realized and gripped his arm tightly. "Senior Brother, why don't you take me to pay my respects to Immortal Banyue?"
