116 A single word carries immense weight
Half an hour later, I finally got up. I washed up!
He had changed into a new set of clothes: a white shirt with dark cloud-patterned sleeves. He looked elegant and refined. A gentleman's knife hung at his waist.
Everyone dressed him up together, making him look like a jade-like gentleman, unparalleled in the world. Then they went out together.
Butler Jin had already prepared the food. At this moment, Wanqing, Rourou, and Wei Qinghui had just arrived.
The three of them talked late into the night by candlelight, and they had a very pleasant conversation. They laughed and joked around for a long time. Wei Qinghui, too, seemed to have returned to her childhood self, and was extremely happy.
It was well past noon when everyone finally got up. All three of them thought they were late. Unexpectedly, after spending time washing up, they all ended up coincidentally together again.
The main problem is that Wanqing and Rourou haven't gotten used to the human way of life yet. They don't know how to get dressed when they get up in the morning.
She wore a short blue peony-patterned jacket and overalls. Rou Rou tried them on for a long time, but felt uncomfortable. She even put them on backwards, but Wei Qinghui didn't mind at all. She patiently taught her how to put the clothes on correctly.
The two women wore velvet suits and had slender figures. They both wore blue crystal high heels. After a while, they adjusted to their surroundings and suddenly realized they seemed to have grown taller.
The three of them played and joked around for a while. Their faces were flushed, and they were doubled over with laughter. Only then did they slowly go outside.
Wei Qinghui looked at the two beauties, Wanqing and Rourou, who were more beautiful than flowers. They had chosen a dark green silk bodysuit for Wei Qinghui. She was instantly stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly so. Anyone who saw her couldn't take their eyes off her.
Wei Qinghui quickly put on a dark trench coat, which just covered her legs.
On the other side, several people wore long dresses—blue embroidered, white floral, and emerald green—and various styles of sandals. Their snow-white wrists were adorned with exquisite bracelets of all shapes and sizes: rabbits, phoenixes, dragons, and mandarin ducks playing in the water.
The two groups met halfway through their journey and were immediately amazed by each other's impressive abilities.
Wei Lan introduced her to He Chen, saying, "This is Wei Family Village, and this is my sister Wei Qinghui!"
Dian Dian smiled slightly. Then everyone went to the dining room together. They had barely sat down when the table was soon covered with dishes.
Stir-fried chicken with chestnuts, beggar's chicken, lobster meat, crispy fried tofu skin, vinegar, honey-glazed ham, braised duck, ham and broad beans, taro balls in clear soup, stir-fried eel slices, Dongpo pork, shrimp and bamboo shoots, eight-treasure chicken, and fish head tofu.
There were plenty of roasted lamb chops, roasted pork chops, and roasted wolf meat. Today we even had tiger meat. The table was overflowing with food.
Yun Su spoke up at this moment, "Brother, when Sister Qinghui came yesterday, everyone wanted to have a good chat. Originally, we wanted her to be the city garrison commander."
But my sister's talent is exceptional. It's a bit of a waste of her abilities. So please take on the position of guest advisor. Brother, you must treat her well. She finished with a sweet laugh.
At this moment, Wei Qinghui remained silent, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she had blended into the moment.
Rou Rou chimed in, "My sister is really amazing. She even told me to get dressed last night!" She then gestured as she did so, demonstrating how to put on underwear.
Wanqing quickly interrupted, then whispered an explanation in her ear. Rourou blushed instantly, looking at Wei Qinghui with embarrassment.
Wei Qinghui waved her hand dismissively. At this moment, she had a serene and quiet expression, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Then Yun Su explained further. Appointing Wes as the city's garrison commander meant he was already at the fifth rank, and there was hope he would reach the sixth rank in the future.
He Chen nodded after hearing this and said softly, "Thank you all. From now on, you will be in charge of these matters yourselves!"
Last night my thoughts were in turmoil, and I was almost possessed by evil spirits. I still can't forget about the fundamental principles of Chinese culture. I'm heavily influenced by Confucianism.
Later, after being burned by the Qilin Fire, he honed his inner strength through internal cultivation. Now he understands his own heart. His true power lies in his own methods; everything else is illusory.
Everyone listened, overjoyed at being trusted so much. For a moment, they stared, mesmerized.
Yun Su rushed into his arms, overjoyed. She personally picked up the tiger meat and fed it to him.
Breakfast began. Everyone ate only a little.
Wanqing and Rourou only ate a little fish, chicken, and duck. After they finished eating, Yunsu beckoned to the void and said, "Qilin, come forth."
Amidst the void, stepping on auspicious symbols, it strolled out, yawning. It seemed quite exhausted. Yun Su beckoned, and the Qilin came into her arms.
"Brother, this came from yesterday, I don't know where it came from? It looks a lot like a Qilin. Don't you think it's adorable?"
Yun Su said mischievously at that moment. She looked extremely cute.
He nodded slightly, thinking to himself, 'So he's looking for Yun Su. I guess I'm not destined for greatness after all.'
Then, Yun Su held the Qilin in her arms and gently stroked it. The Qilin fell asleep peacefully again.
'Is that a Qilin? It seems real.' Rou Rou hid behind Wanhou, somewhat frightened.
Yun Su immediately reassured her, "Don't worry, little sister. This beast is very docile. It won't hurt you." The Qilin's eyes were not even open, as if it were asleep.
At this moment, Yun Su seemed to have thought of something. She said to He Chen, "Brother, now that I'm in charge of education in the city, could you perhaps write a few words for me?"
He Chen smiled, intending to refuse, "My handwriting isn't good! Su'er, you should write it yourself."
Piaomiaoyue smiled slightly, thinking to herself, 'It's rare to have the Martial Emperor inscribe something. However, it seems my lover doesn't know this. This inscription is no ordinary inscription.'
So she gently came to her side and explained that Fanghua and Jiehuayu were currently behind her, gently massaging her shoulders and back. Lanjie and the two women were also puzzled. Biyunyan seemed thoughtful.
The ethereal moonlight shimmered, her beautiful hair flowing gracefully. A sly smile played on her lips.
He Chen was a little confused. He said, "Is there any particular significance to this inscription? I've only ever heard of great scholars inscribing inscriptions. It's strange, though. The City God also asked me to inscribe something last time."
The ethereal moon gracefully approached. "My lord, you must never readily grant inscriptions like this again. Great Confucian scholars do not easily bestow inscriptions upon others."
The saying goes, "A single word is worth a thousand pieces of gold." Here, "jin" refers to weight. A single word can weigh tens of millions of jin. Suppressing ghosts and spirits, maintaining a clear mind—this is a scholar's magic weapon. However, while it may ward off evil, it is extremely detrimental to one's spiritual consciousness.
You must never agree to something so easily in the future.
Yun Su felt embarrassed and said, "Brother, just one word would be enough for me."
Then Misty Moon explained, 'It requires incorporating one's own power into it. The stronger the power, the more likely it is to remain uncorroded for hundreds or even thousands of years.'
Within the royal city, there are inscriptions by Confucian sages. A single character can suppress ghosts and spirits. A single character can suppress great demons.
After hearing the explanation, he nodded and smiled slightly. 'I understand, so that's how it is. I was wondering why the City God Temple even required characters.'
He then said, "It's nothing, just a few words. I wonder what words Su'er wants to mention?"
As if she had already planned it, Yun Su blurted out, "Yunbian Elementary School."
"Okay," He Chen readily agreed. For the sake of his beloved, he couldn't refuse this matter. So, as the saying goes, a thousand words of beauty are not as good as a whispered word in the pillow.
Yun Su took out a plaque made in advance from her spatial bracelet. It was made of golden nanmu wood and was about four feet long and two feet wide.
