Chapter 215: Boom
Sichu, elegant room.
As the morning sun rises gently and the breeze is soft, the fragrance of flowers, grass, and trees fills the air. Birdsong makes the mountains seem even more secluded, and the distant morning bell tolls. What a beautiful paradise on earth!
However, the group of sect leaders sitting in the simple yet elegant and classically refined interior had no time to appreciate the Zen-like beauty, as their entire focus was on the upcoming discussion.
It is said that at the discussion meeting held by the Gusu Lan Clan, their sect leader Qingheng-jun, who has been in seclusion for many years and has not been involved in any affairs, will emerge from seclusion and take over the presiding role of Lan Qiren!
Everyone was curious about the reason why Qingheng-jun had emerged from seclusion, and even more curious about—
Does his appearance at the discussion meeting mean that he, the current head of the Lan Clan, will end his long period of seclusion and regain control of the Lan Clan and its affairs?
What if the actual power holder of the Gusu Lan Clan was replaced by Qingheng-jun by the acting sect leader Lan Qiren?
hiss……!
Thinking of this, all the sects of the cultivation world felt a headache coming on. This Qingheng-jun was not as easy to control as Lan Qiren! If he were to be replaced as the head of the Gusu Lan Clan, then their attitudes and methods towards the Lan Clan would have to be adjusted accordingly!
Otherwise, if you don't gain any benefits and instead get remembered or even targeted by Lord Qingheng, you'll really suffer a huge loss!
It seems that the situation in the Xuanmen sect will soon undergo some very subtle changes!
I wonder if I can find an opportunity to grab some small benefits to strengthen the clan behind me?
……
The various sects of the immortal cultivation world were lost in thought, their glances fleeting and uncertain, a sense of shared unease welling up within them:
Sure enough, even the slightest change in the aforementioned aristocratic families, with their long history and unfathomable foundation, is enough to trigger a massive upheaval in the cultivation world!
I wonder... when will we be able to develop our family's power to such an extent?!
Sitting in the superior position, Qinghengjun raised his eyes and looked around at everyone in the room. He took in all the greedy ambitions that were hidden beneath the seemingly normal expressions of the Bai family. He was perfectly aware of the thoughts and schemes that the Bai family was currently pondering.
Qinghengjun's long, thick eyelashes trembled like dark wings, casting a thin, misty shadow against the backdrop of the shimmering gold light. Seeing that all the families had arrived, she no longer waited, rising gracefully and speaking with a gentle smile.
"I am extremely honored that all the family heads have taken the time to attend this discussion."
"No, no, you're too kind, Lord Qingheng!"
"We should be grateful to Lord Qingheng for valuing and respecting us so much, for even ending his important seclusion for this discussion and personally entertaining us! It is truly our fault for disturbing your cultivation!"
"yes……"
Upon hearing Qinghengjun's words, apart from Wen Ruohan, who sat in the same row as him at the head of the table, all the other large and small aristocratic families stood up, flattered, and responded in unison.
In an instant, the entire private room was filled with a cacophony of voices, causing Lan Qiren, who was sitting next to him, to twitch his eyebrows and Wen Ruohan to darken his gaze.
Seeing this, Qinghengjun smiled slightly and raised her hand in a gesture of pressing down. The heads of the two families immediately understood her meaning and fell silent, sitting back down to listen quietly to what she was about to say.
Qinghengjun was very satisfied with everyone's high level of cooperation. He looked around the room again and when his gaze fell on Jin Guangshan, the smiling patriarch of the Lanling Jin Clan, his eyes flickered and lingered for a moment before he noticed and quickly looked away.
He spoke again with a gentle breeze: "I have been in seclusion for many years, and recently I have gained some understanding of the ancestral precepts. Therefore, I have come out of seclusion to put my thoughts into practice."
At this point, Qingheng paused for a moment before calmly adding to the story amidst the crowd's overwhelming curiosity.
"Therefore, I would like to announce the following matters at this discussion meeting, and hope that everyone will be aware of them!"
"Firstly, starting today, the Lan Clan's schooling will be suspended for three years in order to reform the old style and format!"
"Secondly, starting next month, the Lan Clan will send its disciples and students in batches to remote areas within its jurisdiction to set up schools, teach local people to read and write with low tuition fees, and popularize the most common knowledge about evil spirits, so as to enhance the local people's ability to resist evil spirits! Each round will last for three years!"
Although the first announcement by Qingheng-jun surprised and puzzled the various clans, it was not incomprehensible and acceptable. In fact, they were even more excited. After all, judging from the wording, the updated Lan Clan's learning program was obviously much better than the old version. This was something that would benefit their clan's children, and they couldn't wait for Qingheng-jun to announce more!
But what is the second one that follows?
Perhaps they didn't get enough rest last night, causing them to hallucinate? Or has Qingheng-jun's seclusion caused some mental problems? To squander the family's resources and waste the time and energy of his disciples on such a meaningless "good deed"? Do you think the other elders and collateral branches of the Lan family would agree to this? And why isn't Lan Qiren stopping him?
The various sects of the immortal sects murmured amongst themselves, while the calm and powerful voice of Qingheng Jun at the head of the table continued.
