Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 252: Chapter 183: Lingshan Sword Immortal Returns Again (5)

Liu Fang hesitated for a moment before speaking: ”I choose Chungui City.”

”Oh?”

Upon hearing Liu Fang’s choice, Shen Wenxing was somewhat surprised.

Chungui City is the farthest from Jinliu Village and also the most populous city.

More people naturally means more issues; Chungui City is clearly the hardest to manage among the four cities.

Liu Fang is a person with some wits, very shrewd.

He actually took the initiative to choose Chungui City, which indeed surprised Shen Wenxing.

”Have you thought it through?”

Shen Wenxing looked at him and asked.

Liu Fang stood up and cupped his hands: ”I’ve thought it through!”

Shen Wenxing nodded, a flash of light in his hand, he took out a golden seal engraved with the characters ”Chungui” and tossed it to him, saying: ”From today on, Chungui City will be governed by your Liu Family.”

”Later, take the seal to the Clan Court, bring people from the Clan Court to Chungui City for handover with the He Family.”

”Account for everything in detail, register and record, leave a copy, and let the original be brought back by the Clan Court.”

Liu Fang respectfully picked up the golden seal and cupped his hands: ”Yes!”

With him taking the lead, the remaining Chen Family and Lv Family naturally didn’t hesitate any longer and eagerly volunteered.

As large clans, the Liu Family stepped forward; if they shrank back, wouldn’t they lose face within the clan in the future?

Moreover, the three families have been fighting openly and covertly. This time, with the Liu Family suddenly gaining governance of a city, how could the other two families compare?

The patriarchs of the Chen and Lv Families rose and made a solemn decision in their hearts.

After receiving the governance of a city, they must discipline and cultivate the clan disciples well, lest mistakes ruin the family’s future.

”Patriarch, our Chen Family chooses Xingyang City!”

The Chen Family patriarch is the eldest son of the former Elder Patriarch, Chen Sanxing, named Chen Changhai, now over sixty with Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

Shen Wenxing nodded and likewise took out a seal engraved with ”Xingyang” and tossed it to Chen Changhai.

”Same as Liu Family.”

Chen Changhai picked up the seal and sat down in response.

”Hejian, Anyang, choose one.”

Looking at Lv Cong, the patriarch of Lv Family who had risen beside him, Shen Wenxing spoke.

Lv Cong was in his twilight years, though not a cultivator, his spirit was still decent.

Lv Cong slowly cupped his hands, his voice hoarse: ”Reporting to Patriarch, I choose Hejian.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing burst into laughter.

He had figured it out, these three are all cunning.

Anyang City has the Shen Family, they’re either afraid of not being able to perform well or concerned about dirty deeds being inconvenient, surprisingly none chose Anyang.

However, if they truly think that with the Emperor far away, picking one of the other three cities means they can do as they please, they’re really underestimating the Clan Court.

After giving the seal representing Hejian City to Lv Cong, Shen Wenxing said a phrase ”Same as the other two families,” then looked at the remaining three small clans.

Seeing that the three were a bit timid, not daring to step forward.

Shen Wenxing stood up on his own and said: ”Today’s matter ends here, disperse.”

Watching his figure leave the ancestral hall, Liu Fang turned to the heads of the small clans—Shi Family, Liu Family, and Wang Family—saying with frustration:

”Why don’t you choose?”

”What a good opportunity?”

The three exchanged glances, the patriarch of Shi Family, Shi Chong, smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: ”Brother Liu, don’t say ironic words.”

”The three of us all know the strength of our families, managing a village is doable, managing a city...would be chaotic.”

”Indeed...” The patriarch of Liu Family, Liu Shunxi, agreed: ”Anyang City has the main family, if trouble arises, there’s no room for remedy, the main family sees it all.”

”Embarrassment is minor, but losing the status of a small clan would be a great loss.”

Liu Fang and the others seemed to understand the concern of the three small clans, and did not continue to persuade.

After Shen Wenxing left the ancestral hall, he directly sought out Zhao Jinhua.

Originally, he intended for the major affiliated clans to take over the governance of the four cities, then to entrust Yunshui Town to the Zhao Family.

Zhao Xuan’s matter has always been a knot in his and his parents’ hearts, feeling indebted to the Zhao Family.

After all, Zhao Xuan was only in her forties when she passed, and had lived nearly ten years of lonely widowhood for the Shen Family.

”Brother Jinhu.”

In the new residence of Zhao Family, Shen Wenxing saw Zhao Jinhua teaching several children martial arts posture in the courtyard, he stepped forward and called out.

The six children in the courtyard were juniors of the Zhao Family.

”Patriarch.”

Zhao Jinhua slightly cupped his hands, the juniors behind him hurriedly imitated and saluted.

Shen Wenxing nodded with a smile: ”Brother Jinhu, I have something to discuss with you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinhua ordered someone to call out Zhao Tuan, who was in seclusion within the house.

Though Zhao Tuan did not possess a spirit root, his current cultivation was already at the Peak of Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, the most advanced in the Zhao Family.

”Patriarch.”

Zhao Tuan walked out from within, cupped his hands and saluted Shen Wenxing.

Zhao Jinhua looked at him and said: ”You guide the kids in cultivation, I’ll discuss some matters with the Patriarch.”

After arranging the matter, he gestured Shen Wenxing into the guest suite.

After the two brothers sat down, Shen Wenxing directly said: ”Luoxia Mountain granted the Four Cities of Anyang to the Shen Family. Now Liu Family, Chen Family, and Lv Family have successively chosen Chungui, Xingyang, and Hejian.”

”I want to ask Brother Jinhu to govern the remaining Anyang City.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jinhua looked slightly stunned, then waved his hand repeatedly: ”Patriarch, it cannot be.”

”The Zhao Family is sparse in numbers, and most are mediocre, how can they undertake the major task of governing a city?”

”Brother Jinhu.” Seeing his refusal, Shen Wenxing said seriously: ”You don’t need to worry about manpower.”
