Qingli stood side by side with her under the eaves. About ten minutes later, the sky began to darken.
Fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Qingli reached out her long, slender hand to catch some of them.
"The snow fell ahead of schedule."
His voice was soft, with a touch of magnetism in the quiet moment.
Ye Shang looked at the snow in his hand, which had almost melted into water. Had it happened ahead of schedule?
The snow, which usually only falls for half a month each year, has arrived early this year. Is it trying to tell us something?
A short while later, after the lesson inside ended, a group of students came out. When they saw Ye Shang and Teacher Qing, they went up to greet them and called out, "Teacher Ye, Teacher Qing."
During this period, the two of them also taught classes to these people, most of whom were young people, the oldest being no more than twenty-three years old.
Although Ye Shang and the other two are about the same age as these people, her experience and qualifications speak for themselves.
Hearing someone call their name, Ye Shang simply nodded, then pulled Qing Li along and walked out.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, as if it were urgently trying to wash something away.
Just like when someone is coming to visit, you need to clean your house in advance so that it doesn't look bad to the guests.
Ye Shang and Qing Li walked through the falling snow, their silhouettes visible to the students who came out one after another.
Some people admire their status, some people envy their power, but everyone knows that the base can only exist because of their presence.
This is one of the few areas where the base currently feels safe.
Qingli took a large black umbrella and held it over their heads. He said, "Ah Shang, can we walk like this forever?"
Ye Shang said slowly, "If you want to, you can."
Qingli chuckled softly, "I imagine we could continue living peacefully like this every day, without any conflict or the ever-present threat of the world's destruction..."
Ye Shang listened quietly, listening to his fantasies and his aspirations for the future.
"Maybe we can have our own children someday. I can take my time with the little one's growth and education..."
Qingli's voice was filled with excitement, and his delicate and handsome eyes were curved, as if they were sparkling with starlight.
The two walked all the way home, and the snow fell even heavier.
After returning home, Qingli discussed the Qingli base plan with Han Yi. In the post-apocalyptic world, once it snows, it won't stop for at least half a month. In previous years, it would only start snowing more than twenty days later.
This year, the snow removal team started their work much earlier, so they also need to start earlier.
This team is almost entirely composed of fire-type and wind-type ability users.
The wind-type ability user swept all the snow into a pile, while the fire-type ability user melted it.
At this point, regardless of whether they are low-level or high-level superhumans, each base needs to start allocating personnel in this area.
This included cleaning up the area within several kilometers outside the base. After arranging everything, some people arrived at my door shortly afterward.
Shen Qian arrived with an important heir from a reclusive clan.
Ye Shang looked at the people she brought back, including Meng Qiulan, Liang You, Meng Zongzhe, the eldest son of the Meng family, and Liang Wenbo and others.
There were about ten people in total.
Ye Shang only knew a few people.
Shen Qianxian came in first and said to Ye Shang, "These people are all future heirs of various families. This time, apart from Meng Qiulan and Liang You, who came because they have some connection with you, the rest of them, except for the eldest daughter and eldest son of the legitimate wife, did not come. They are mainly here to discuss the specifics."
The reclusive clans aren't stupid either. What if they send out all their disciples and they all die? They have their own considerations.
First, send your main disciple to discuss the matter with the current leaders.
Ye Shang nodded: "Take them to the conference room."
The villa they lived in had one of the rooms on the first floor modified into a large conference room, consisting of three rooms.
If guests come to the house, they are usually taken there.
Ye Shang sat in the main seat at the front, while Meng Qiulan and Liang You naturally sat at the very back.
Those who had never seen Ye Shang before, though not daring to speak loudly, were also a little puzzled. Wasn't it said that the leaders of these modern-day bases were all men?
Why is a woman sitting in the main seat now? Some people are puzzled, while others frown slightly.
However, since everyone will inherit their family's legacy in the future, no one would be so idiotic as to ask, "Why are you a woman sitting up there?" or "Isn't the leader of the base a man? What can a woman like you do?"
Although they didn't say it, their expressions and their hearts told them the same thing.
Among these people, there were girls, but not many, only two in total, simply because the matriarchs of these two families had not given birth to any sons, and even the concubines had only given birth to girls.
This is why there's no way for women to inherit the family business; after all, they are their own bloodline. However, they can't marry just anyone; they have to find a husband to marry into the family.
This is also why these two families gradually faded into obscurity.
The two girls were sitting just two seats in front of Meng Qiulan.
Ye Shang watched as the successors walked forward and naturally pulled out chairs to sit down. All the men were walking at the front, while the only three women were at the very back.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Was this why the reclusive families had always looked down on women? Did this tradition only pass down the preference for sons over daughters?
"Wait, the girls in the back, come sit in the front."
Meng Zongzhe, who was about to sit down, glanced at her, said nothing, and went to the back.
