When Wan Ge returned to Yunshan, to others it was just a visit to her mother's house, nothing different from before. But they didn't know that the person who originally planned to stay in Yunshan had already changed her mind.
As Wan Ge was flipping through a book under the pine tree, a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties approached her.
Wan Ge put down the book in her hand, looked at her grandmother who seemed to have something to say to her, and asked directly, "Grandmother, do you have something to say?"
The sect leader of Jimo smiled faintly and said, "Wange, you are not young anymore. Your grandmother wants to hand over Yunshan to you."
Grandmother's meaning was all too clear: she wanted to stay here, to protect Yunshan herself, to continue to develop Yunshan, and to lead all her disciples just as she had done before.
But: "Grandmother, I think Aunt Aning is more suitable than me."
Aunt Aning was the senior sister of Wan Ge's mother. She adopted Aning before the sect leader of Ji Mo had his own child. She was exceptionally talented in both literature and martial arts, standing out among all the outstanding individuals.
If she were willing to leave the mountain, I'm afraid the position of Prime Minister wouldn't even be available to Wan Ge's mother.
Unfortunately, all she wanted to do was stay by the sect leader's side and protect Yunshan with him; she wouldn't go anywhere else.
To be honest, if Wan Ge hadn't appeared, the sect leader had indeed considered handing the position over to A Ning. But with Wan Ge's arrival, she found someone more satisfactory.
"Wange, is there something you need to do?" Why did she refuse? Was she planning to do something?
Wange made no attempt to hide anything and nodded directly. Seeing the other woman's puzzled expression, Wange answered directly, "Grandmother, I want to go down the mountain."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader's face turned ashen: "You bastard! What did you say! You actually! You actually! Hmph! You're just like your bastard mother. Let's go, it'll be better if you all leave."
After saying that, he turned and left.
…
Not long after the sect leader returned to his room, Wan Ge carried in a plate of her favorite pastries.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Wange made your favorite peach blossom pastry. Don't you want to try it?" Wange placed the finished peach blossom pastry in front of her with a smile on her face.
"Hmph! Do you think I can be appeased with a few peach blossom pastries? Besides, what are you, a woman, doing in the kitchen?" The kitchen is not a place for women to go.
"Isn't this to appease Grandma?" Wan Ge rested her head on one hand, her beautiful eyes looking at the person in front of her.
The sect leader sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "I don't understand why you all like coming down the mountain so much? Is chasing fame and fortune really that fun?"
"You know why Mother went down the mountain, don't you? Didn't she do a good job?" In fact, Wan Ge could sense that the other party wasn't really angry. If she were really angry, she wouldn't have let him see her at all, and she wouldn't even want to mention her.
The reason the original owner's mother went down the mountain was actually because she accidentally saw the suffering people, but she knew that the cloud mountain could not help all the people escape their suffering.
That's why she chose to enter the imperial court as an official, and even worked hard to rise through the ranks until she was second only to the emperor and had a voice in the government.
While it's not guaranteed to be 100% achievable, it's definitely much better than before. This prime minister is indeed very capable, and he truly cares for the people and all living beings.
"And what about you? Are you also doing this for the sake of all living beings and the common people?"
