"Father, Brother Yuan and the others have agreed. When do you plan to start implementing it?"
After hearing the news brought by Jin Chen, Mr. Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very confident and predicted that his proposal would be passed, he was still very nervous and uneasy before getting the confirmed news.
When he got the confirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing Jin Chen's noisy appearance, he wanted to scold him like before, but when he thought about Jin Chen's current strength, he changed his mind.
"A few days later, no rush, just wait a little longer."
"Wait, why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the right time." Having said this, he leisurely took a sip of tea. Jin Chen asked, "Wait for what time?" But Jin's father fell silent. He drank his tea calmly, and Jin Chen felt helpless.
Jin Chen left angrily. Father Jin looked at Jin Chen's back, shook his head, and said, "I hope that Xiaochen can learn some principles through words and deeds in the future."
Jin Chen returned to Fang Yuan and the others and angrily spoke ill of his father.
But he didn't get the support of his two friends. Fang Yuan said, "Xiaochen, okay, we're not professionals, so let's leave it to the professionals. Besides, it's your father! Don't you know your father well enough? Since he said the time isn't right, let's just wait a little longer. We're not in a rush anyway!"
"Yes, Xiaochen, you have been very excited since the past few days! Why do you want power so much?" Ruan Qi asked curiously.
"No, I just think it's fun!" Jin Chen said embarrassedly.
Indeed, the novelty of the system had worn off in the past few days, and now he was mainly busy with corpse-hunting missions, which was quite monotonous and naturally boring. Jin Chen's love of novelty and excitement, which he had developed during his previous life as a playboy, had finally begun to tire of it.
Fang Yuan is the most consistent person. So far, he has never relaxed his requirements on himself. He is still seizing every opportunity to practice and strive to be promoted to a higher level fighter as soon as possible.
Because Ruan Qi needs to take care of his younger brothers and sisters at home, he naturally needs to divide his attention and does not have enough time to take care of them. Gu is not the kind of "cultivation maniac" and he does not practice very hard.
Jin Chen was a pure playboy, and his cultivation became less and less serious. He only practiced seriously during the day when he was with Fang Yuan and the others. As soon as he got home, he started playing.
They use the excuse of "Separate cultivation from daily life" and "Have fun so that you can cultivate better tomorrow" and so on.
Anyway, Jin Chen was very eloquent and had a lot of twisted theories. After Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi tried to persuade him a few times, they gave up.
When Fang Yuan was complaining to his mother, his mother tried to persuade him: "Xiaochen is quite right. You're just practicing too hard. You should practice again when you go home. You should learn from Xiaochen."
Fang Yuan stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone has their own way of life, so just be happy with it! Therefore, Fang Yuan still didn't change his lifestyle.
He lived a hard-working life, working hard to complete tasks during the day and practicing hard at night.
There's no way around it. Fang Yuan has lived through hard times and knows his current life is hard-earned, so he cherishes it all the more.
Moreover, Fang Yuan had a heartfelt respect for the master behind the system, whom he had never met. He always adhered to the moral principles of a follower and did not dare to slack off even a little.
As for his strength, after reaching the rank of War Lieutenant and becoming the strongest warrior in the Water Stronghold, Fang Yuan did not think it was that great, because it was all thanks to the system.
Don't you understand what kind of cultivation talent you originally had? If you hadn't encountered the system, you would have died long ago. Even if you didn't die, you would have been a warrior apprentice for the rest of your life, and it would have been impossible for you to be promoted to a warrior, let alone a lieutenant. Even if you were promoted to a higher level warrior in the future, there would be no suspense at all.
Isn't this wonderful life exactly what he's always dreamed of? How could he possibly feel bitter or tired? Fang Yuan was completely content and enjoying it!
After meeting Fang Yuan several times, Father Jin was impressed by Fang Yuan and understood why Jin Chen and Ruan Qi always took Fang Yuan as their leader and followed his lead!
Fang Yuan is modest and pragmatic, psychologically mature, knows how to be grateful, and knows his limits. No matter how his strength changes, he always maintains his nature, never forgets his original intention, and adheres to the ethics of a warrior!
With such a person, Father Jin felt as if he saw the warriors of the golden age of warriors a thousand years ago, during the period of war among the feudal lords, who were loyal to their lords, respected the virtues of warriors, and even risked their lives and were not afraid of sacrifice for this, and were famous warriors in history.
Jin Chen's father was not worried about following someone like Fang Yuan.
…
A few days later, large-scale riots finally broke out in the civilian areas and slums. Gu Yan and the nobles urgently gathered and held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Yan sat in the main seat and asked sternly, "What's going on? Are the people in your territory rioting? Is this how you manage them?"
Wu Zheng and Wu Hong sat in the corner, leisurely drinking tea and watching the show.
Father Jin sat in the front seat on the right, also drinking tea calmly.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, the others fell silent as well. In the end, the entire conference hall was completely silent. Only then did Gu Yan truly feel the lord's dilemma.
These people were obviously his subordinates, but he felt as if he was alone and that everyone in the world was his enemy.
The silence and indifferent attitude of the crowd made Gu Yan, who was the only one speaking, look like a clown on a stage play.
A branch of the Gu family, seeing this as a serious matter, broke the silence and said, "Lord, this is not the time to hold people accountable. We should quell the unrest first! The water fort is too small! It can't withstand any more trouble!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Yes, yes!"
"That makes sense, that makes sense!"
“Yes, yes!”
Most of the nobles followed suit. Gu Yan looked at the nobles who were perfunctorily doing their job and smiled helplessly. He asked, "How should this be resolved?"
After Gu Yan asked, there was silence again.
No one wanted to stand out, everyone just lowered their heads and drank tea.
Gu Yan felt the bone-chilling cold again, not because of the weather, but because of people's hearts.
At this time, Gu Yan actually began to admire his cousin Gu Qing. He also succeeded to the throne at a young age, but he quickly took control of the overall situation and won over the people.
I used to look down on him, thinking his policies were full of mistakes and his abilities were only so-so. If I were a lord, I would definitely do better than him!
But when he really sat on the throne of lord, he realized that it is easier said than done!
It is easy to dream, but difficult to put it into practice!
Being a lord is not that easy!
