Upon hearing this, Yun Xiangnanxi immediately became interested.
They went to great lengths to obtain that letter, which contained only a few words.
"All is well, do not worry, farewell, younger brother." Yun Xianglingyu read aloud, "The signature is... Ning Yao... elder sister???"
"Wow, something's not right, something's not right. Yao Yao didn't mention Ning Yao or anything like that in her letter to me. That's really strange."
Yun Xianglingyu had never experienced romantic relationships, but she sensed something was wrong.
But the Yun Xiang and Nan Xi sisters immediately understood.
Shen Ci'an's love is unrequited!
At the very least, his attitude was quite clear, while Ning Yao's side showed nothing.
Based on the Yun Xiang and Nan Xi sisters' understanding of Ning Yao, they both felt that Shen Ci'an's chances this time were slim.
Shen Ci'an, after several days of anxiety, finally wrote a reply. What he wrote in the letter remains unknown to the others.
When Shen Ce received Ning Yao's letter, he was overjoyed, thinking it was related to Ning Qiong.
At the very least, the letter would mention Ning Qiong or Ning Yiyi, even if only briefly.
The contents of the letter disappointed him and also shocked him.
Ning Yao first pointed out the drawbacks of the Chu Kingdom, such as the fact that a city has three officials, and the division of power among officials makes it difficult to manage, which could lead to situations like that in Nanjiang City.
For example, the buying and selling of official positions led to two of the three officials in Nanjiang City being appointed by Consort Lin, which nearly caused Prefect Wen's family to be ruined.
Furthermore, the occurrence of events such as Yunxiang City, Kunlun Ridge, Tianyun Sect, and Jiang Yu Clan all indicate that the world is not peaceful and is not ordinary.
This world doesn't just belong to the State of Chu; it also includes the State of Xia and other states.
Ning Yao didn't have a deep understanding of the situation in other countries, but she figured that thousands of years ago, the differences between countries wouldn't have been too great.
Ning Yao didn't believe that there were any other creatures that had escaped the net, given that the Thousand Illusions Realm, the Netherworld Divine Tree, and Ning Que Lin Yu were all left behind from ancient times.
If no one escaped the net, how would you explain Jiang Yu's actions?
Therefore, the prolonged drought in the State of Chu cannot be considered a sign of chaos. What is truly about to descend into chaos is the fundamental nature of the world that is about to change.
Ordinary farmers live to be over a hundred years old.
The path of cultivation is to seek immortality.
This was Ning Yao's guess, a guess at the answer to the riddle that Ning Que Lin Yu and Youming Shenmu had been playing.
Why bring these things up with Shen Ce?
Ning Yao simply believed that Shen Ce, having lived four lifetimes, should have a stronger capacity for acceptance than others.
He mentioned it briefly, but how much he understands is up to him.
After reading Ning Yao's letter, Shen Ce, recalling the events that had occurred at Kunlun Ridge and Tianyun Sect, was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
After much deliberation, he decided to first address the issues of the three officials in one city and the buying and selling of official positions.
The imperial edict was issued from the capital and delivered to every city by fast horses.
The system was changed from having three officials per city to having one official per city, with the position of Prefect established as the highest official rank, a second-grade official.
It has four subordinate departments: Agriculture, Administration, Justice, and Military, which are respectively in charge of agriculture, daily administration, adjudication of cases, and the military.
We will vigorously promote agriculture, encourage people to actively cultivate the land, and reduce or exempt taxes.
At the same time, the local military troops also had to join the farming ranks, fighting in times of war and farming in times of peace, so as to achieve self-sufficiency.
In addition, Shen Ce once again suppressed the powerful families in various cities, promoting the good ones and suppressing and confiscating the bad ones.
Suddenly, the cities that had just survived the drought were thrown into chaos again.
Some people were dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to accept Shen Ce's swift and decisive actions.
You want money? Then don't risk your life!
After the imperial edict was issued, Shen Ce urgently wrote back to Ning Yao overnight.
By the time Ning Yao received the letter, she had already returned to the Ning family in Licheng.
The family members respected Ning Que Linyu very much, not because Ning Yao revealed his identity, but because Ning Wenyi opened his mouth wide and blurted out, "Ancestor!"
The whole family fell silent.
In the center of the main hall of Qianhuan Mountain, there is a portrait of Ning Que Linyu.
The only difference is that the person in the painting is older, while the one in front of us is younger.
But in Ning Wenyi's hazy memory, the two people did indeed overlap.
Ning Que Linyu asked Ning Yao, "You said that?"
Ning Yao shrugged: "I stepped through the door with you."
It means that I didn't say that.
Ning Wenyi hurriedly explained, "At home...at home...there is...your portrait!"
Because he was so excited, it took him a long time to stammer out a complete sentence.
However, Ning Que Linyu also understood.
He nodded: "Yes, don't make a fuss about it, just keep it to yourselves."
The Ning family members kept their mouths shut and nodded repeatedly, even the youngest Ning Yiyi nodded like a rattle drum.
Ning Que Linyu hadn't seen a new life in a long time, and he had a strange feeling when he saw Ning Yiyi.
Ning Yiyi wasn't afraid of people. When she saw the other person staring at her, she ran up to him and met Ning Que Linyu's gaze.
Ning Que Linyu's mood instantly improved, and he half-squatted down to meet Ning Que Linyu's gaze.
He reached out and patted Ning Yiyi's head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
With a slight flick of his wrist, a sliver of golden light entered Ning Yiyi's little head.
The rest of the Ning family saw it too, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ning Qiong stepped forward, wanting to hug Ning Yiyi back.
Compared to her ancestor Ning Que Linyu, she was more worried about her son.
"all……"
"Don't worry, big sister. Uncle Ning won't hurt Yi Yi. Yi Yi will likely be extraordinary in the future!"
Even Ning Que Linyu, who was very satisfied with him, had never given him such a generous gift upon their first meeting.
According to Ning Yao's understanding of the ancient times from the secret realm's ancient books, Ning Que Linyu had given his divine soul power to Ning Yiyi.
If this were in ancient times, Ning Yiyi would definitely be an excellent candidate for cultivation.
Even now, he will become an unparalleled master in the future.
Such a good thing is rare and hard to come by!
Seeing that Ning Yiyi was not in any pain and her complexion was even more rosy, Ning Qiong was less worried.
Seeing that his divine soul power was being absorbed very well, Ning Que Linyu grew even more fond of Ning Yiyi.
"Yaoyao, this child is a promising talent. Given time, she will surely become a force to be reckoned with!"
"Would you like to bring him inside?"
Ning Yao raised an eyebrow: "You mean...spiritual energy?"
Ning Que Linyu stood up and nodded: "Turbid stones produce turbid air, which is harmful. As a result, the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm was born to fight against it. The secret realm transforms turbid air into spiritual energy for its own use, and thus we cultivators came into being."
"This child has a good foundation, and with the support of my divine soul power, if he were to receive further assistance from spiritual energy..."
Ning Que Linyu didn't finish speaking, but Ning Yao understood.
Ning Yiyi is very likely the first person besides herself to embark on the path of cultivation.
Ning Yao's mind raced. If that were the case, it would be a good thing to train a successor for the Ning family.
Thinking of this, Ning Yao's gaze towards Ning Yiyi warmed up a bit.
Although the other family members were confused, they understood what the two meant because they knew the Ning family was extraordinary.
Cultivating immortality!
This legendary thing actually fell into their laps!
Ning Wenyi reacted the fastest: "Ancestor, what do you think of my aptitude?"
