"Welcome, young master!"
Su Yunying sat on the throne that originally belonged to Feng Xiuhua. Bathed in the morning sun shining through the window, she appeared dignified and proper, calmly accepting the worship of the clansmen below.
Luo Fengjiao was also among them.
Luo Fengjiao was genuinely happy for Su Yunying and did not resent her kneeling before her.
Su Yunying raised her hand: "Get up, everyone. I don't follow these customs here. In the future, unless it's necessary, none of my clansmen need to kneel before me."
Clearly, she has accepted this dreamlike reality, quickly adjusted her mindset, and is preparing to adapt to her new identity.
"From this day forward, Qifengshan will work closely with the Public Tribunal to meet any challenge together."
As I have just assumed the position of young master, I am not very familiar with many clan affairs. I hope that all the senior clan members can provide me with much assistance.
"Let's work together to restore the Fire Phoenix Clan to its former glory as soon as possible. I'm counting on you all."
"Young Master is wise. We will do our utmost to assist you and restore the former glory of Fire Phoenix."
"I hereby announce that Luo Fengjiao will temporarily take charge of the internal affairs of Qifeng Mountain. If there are any unclear matters, you may discuss them with the manager before making a decision. If there are no objections, then we may disperse."
"I'll take my leave."
After the party ended, Su Yunying finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran outside to Shen Zhao, who was drinking.
"Boss, I was so nervous just now. I was afraid that if I did something wrong, people would look down on me."
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "They wouldn't dare. Don't worry, no one can shake your position as the young master."
"Thank you, boss."
Su Yunying bent down and knelt in front of Shen Zhao, placing one hand on his thigh.
“Boss, I know what you did, the clan leader…”
"Yun Ying..."
Shen Zhao interrupted her and asked calmly.
"Won't you think I'm too cruel, that I'm harming your people? Will you blame me?"
"Blame you?" Su Yunying looked puzzled. "Boss has sacrificed so much for me, why would I blame you?"
"You really don't blame me?"
Shen Zhao countered with a question,
"No matter what, Feng Xiuhua is still a member of your clan. I schemed against her and harmed her to this extent. Don't you blame me at all?"
It's no wonder Shen Zhao asked these questions. In his previous lives, he had done so many extreme and shameful things for Yu Xiyan, and instead of offering a word of comfort, she had always used this as an excuse to hurl insults at him, calling him inhuman.
He was truly afraid of this misunderstanding. Regardless of whether it came from his heart or was required by the system, he had clearly given so much for her, yet he could never earn a single look of recognition or trust in return.
"Boss, please don't think like that. I know you have your reasons for everything you do."
The clan leader was inherently wicked and broke the contract first; the eldest brother only attacked her because of me.
I feel endless gratitude towards my boss; if anyone should be worried, it should be me.
My boss is so good to me, I don't know how to repay him.
Looking into Su Yunying's sincere and innocent eyes, Shen Zhao sighed silently in his heart.
This is how the differences between people are distinguished.
"Alright, you are now the young master. Familiarize yourself with the environment here. Everything in Qifeng Mountain is under your control."
“I have to manage so many people all at once, and I have no experience in managing people. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it. Grandma Luo alone can’t manage it all.”
"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, Ding Bu'er and Dugu Xin will arrive here soon to assist you. Before long, Qifeng Mountain will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"That's great! I haven't seen Master Ding and the others in a long time. It will be much easier with him helping out..."
At this point, Su Yunying looked up at Shen Zhao with deep affection, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Zhao was somewhat puzzled.
Su Yunying bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly white teeth, and after a long while seemed to have made a decision.
"Boss, can you come with me to Yin Feng Pond to admire the moon tonight?"
"You absolutely have to come, I'm waiting for you."
Before Shen Zhao could ask any questions, Su Yunying had already gotten up and run away.
"What's this girl up to all this time, acting so mysteriously? Drinking wine at the Phoenix Pool and admiring the moon?"
Shen Zhao didn't think much of it and took a small sip of wine from the gourd.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and spat out a mouthful of wine.
"Drinking Phoenix Pool?!"
...
Just as power was shifting within Qifeng Mountain, Su Yunying successfully succeeded as the young master, becoming the true owner of Qifeng Mountain.
Thousands of miles away in Lishanzong, an annual drama of inhumane slave owners exploiting black laborers is unfolding.
"Dig for me, dig carefully, and if you find even a needle or thread, you must hand it over to me."
"What? You're tired! If you're tired, then you might as well sleep forever. After all, if you don't do it, your fellow disciples will be eager to do it."
"If you want to eat, you'd better plow this lousy place first. If you can't even do this little thing right, do you deserve to waste food?"
"Get your act together, all of you! Think about why you're so bad. If you were half as good as me, would you still be carrying shovels and digging through mountains today?"
Liang Hao, holding a leather whip, stood on a rock on the back mountain, looking at the densely packed, shirtless figures quarrying rocks, revealing the ugly face of the farm owner.
To prevent even a single needle or thread from falling into the hands of these Lishan Sect disciples and potentially leading to a bloody revenge attack.
He put in a tremendous effort to thoroughly investigate the entire Lishan Mountain, only satisfied when he was certain there were no details that could allow the cliffside to rise again.
