Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

”It still requires the assistance of the government; the Four Major Institutions should be there, that’s still necessary. Under the control of the Four Major Institutions, South City will gradually loosen its bindings. In about ten years, it should become a bona fide city.”

”The premise is that I can handle Master Xuanhong.”

Well, that’s about it; Yuchi, upon finishing his thoughts, began to feel relaxed. It was already quite late today. He was ready to send Qingzhu back to the Ascension Gate, and in the following days, he planned to start closely observing around South City, secretly keeping an eye on that man in black armor at the Foundation Establishment Stage, who always seems to find the location of the Heaven’s Edge Sect.

Just as Yuchi was about to speak, the little girl Wei Qingzhu already turned her clear eyes to look at him.

”What’s the matter, Qingzhu?” Yuchi asked curiously.

”Sect Leader Senior Brother, is Qingzhu pretty?” Qingzhu suddenly asked, looking innocent yet astute, while holding a small bunch of curling bamboo leaves in her hand.

”Pretty indeed.” Yuchi nodded involuntarily, wondering why Qingzhu suddenly asked that out of nowhere.

”But I think it’s already withered.” Qingzhu said, pointing at the curled bamboo leaves in her hand, looking all innocent.

Oh my, young one, are you ambushing an old guy like me who’s eighty?

Upon seeing the cunning glint in Qingzhu’s eyes, Yuchi laughed and scooped her up. Amidst a squeal from Qingzhu, he directly brought her back into the Ascension Gate. This little girl’s mind worked in ways that sometimes even he couldn’t immediately understand.

This was the courtesan’s daughter; if it were the courtesan herself, just how clever would such a woman be?

”I wonder if I would have the chance to have a good chat with the courtesan once I reach Tiesi City; that should be quite nice, right.”

Laughing, he patted the little girl’s shoulder. The Ascension Gate was very quiet now, with the frosty white Martial Arts Arena on the mountainside, and the blue stone brick ground was neat and orderly. Yuchi spoke softly with a smile: ”Go back and rest first; you worked hard tonight. Also, for Eryue and Sanqiu over there, please take care of them a bit, see if you can help with learning some of the Third Province language, as the language barrier is indeed somewhat awkward.”

Qingzhu nodded, then looked at Yuchi with great anticipation, softly and a bit shyly whispering: ”Sect Leader Senior Brother, could you give me a hug? Suddenly felt a bit melancholic.”

Is it starting now?!

Yuchi immediately looked around, then in the little girl’s radiant smile, he gently hugged her. Under the moonlight, the two leaned against each other; everything was just right. Smelling the fresh bamboo scent on her, with a hand resting on her small fragrant shoulder, Yuchi looked at Wei Qingzhu’s satisfied face with a wry smile: ”Alright then, go back early.”

Qingzhu was satisfied, waved her tender white hand, and watched as her Sect Leader Senior Brother left the Ascension Gate.

”Sect Leader Senior Brother, goodbye!”

And then.

Afterwards.

Women with a grudging gaze emerged from the Ascension Gate one after another.

With a curve to her lips, Qingzhu’s gaze held the teachings of a mentor: ”A young lady should be gentle. Pure strength does not need to be expressed with a strong tone. So not just this time, from now on, it should always be like this. When assisting Sect Leader Senior Brother, one must present reliability, and be very earnest about it. After things are done, do not overshadow the guest. Silently be a reliable supportive woman behind the scenes, have you all learned?”

”...”

Biting their teeth, Shen Qinghan and others: ”Teacher, we’ve learned and failed!”

…

An hour later, the Ascension Gate gradually settled under the instruction of Teacher Wei Qingzhu.

There are now three Hexagonal Immortal Towers in the Ascension Gate. Shen Qinghan, Xu Feiling, Huo Shanlan, and Feng Dongran live in the first tower. Wei Qingzhu, Song Yinghan, Bu Luohua, and Li Changyi are arranged in the second tower. Currently, Jiang Eryue and Jiang Sanqiu, two sisters, reside in the third tower, meaning there are now ten girls at the Ascension Gate.

As of now, due to language barriers and other matters at hand, Yuchi hasn’t had a proper talk with Eryue and Sanqiu. In his eyes, Eryue shows excellent potential; it would be a waste not to cultivate it. Maybe they have thoughts about cultivation.

Sanqiu herself lacks talent, but that’s okay, as there are plenty of other things to do within the Ascension Gate such as artifact refining, alchemy, planting, etc.

On the first floor of the third Immortal Tower, Eryue and Sanqiu were speaking cautiously, and their tension and a bit of anxiety were evident.

”Sister, we’ve been in the sect for three days now, and haven’t had a proper conversation with Sect Leader. Sect Leader is even busy with matters in South City. What will become of us in the end?” Sanqiu, timid by nature, was still slowly emerging from the shadow of death, but truly discussing sect matters left her on pins and needles.

The feeling was different from facing execution, which was straightforwardly terrifying. Being in someone else’s sect and being rescued only to find that they haven’t initiated conversation leaves her in anxious dread, feeling like living under someone else’s roof.
