"Good? Master Lin," Zhi Yong said after he shifted the last chair to where Lin Xuan Qi had wanted.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, "Perfect. Go take a rest and help Xue Cong and the others."
He was impressed with the strength of Zhi Yong, where Zhi Yong was able to carry heavy loads without batting an eye.
And most importantly, Zhi Yong executed with no questions asked.
Zhi Yong bowed at him and left for the kitchen to help Xue Cong and the others.
Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the rearranged room and thought about other items he would need for him to do his experints.
As the evening sun shone into the room, the warm amber glow made the lab look welcoming.
Which was sothing Lin Xuan Qi needed.
He wasn’t sure how much effort and ti he would need to perfect the process of soap making.
Dinner was relatively simpler as compared to the lunch with Sima Long.
Lin Xuan Qi excused himself and went back into his room early.
He practiced his Cloud-Stride Steps before taking a bath.
The steps that he took were now much faster and nimbler than previously, a huge improvent.
His figure turned into a shimr as he moved from one corner of the room to another.
When he was exhausted, Lin Xuan Qi dipped into the warm water prepared for him earlier by Yue Jie.
That reminded him of sothing.
As he lay in the bathtub, he summoned the system’s information panel in his mind.
Words appeared in his mind.
[Clan Prosperity System.]
[Current Status: 6 personnel in the clan.]
[Daily Rice Delivery: 60KG.]
[Choose person in mansion to see summary of their day:]
[1. Xue Cong.]
[2. Yue Jie.]
[3. Yue Xin.]
[4. Lee He Song.]
[5. Liu Shi Shi.]
[6. Zhi Yong.]
He thought silently to himself ’Yue Jie’ and more information appeared in his mind.
[Summary of Yue Jie’s day.]
[Yue Jie thought about you for about 10 tis today.]
[She thought more about Yue Xin than you.]
[Her worries were about Yue Xin’s rashness and whether her father’s enemies would let them off.]
[Out of the tis she thought about you, her heart raced fast when the servant girls from Sima Long were gossiping about being tong fang servant girl for you.]
[She also started to feel that you are their savior.]
[Loyalty: 80]
[Affection: 70]
[Respect: 90]
[Gratitude: 99]
Lin Xuan Qi was glad to see that the loyalty and gratitude were high.
As for her fear with her father’s enemies and Yue Xin, he would have to settle it one of these days.
But he couldn’t help it but rolled his eyes when he saw what the servant girls under Sima Long were talking about.
What if though...
His mind wandered off thinking about Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin.
Even Liu Shi Shi ca into his mind.
He was indeed blessed to have such pretty ladies surrounding him.
A blessing to him that those in Da Qian Dynasty didn’t appreciate such jade beauties.
...
Next day.
Lin Xuan Qi woke up early as he had a long day ahead of him.
Breakfast was already waiting for him as usual.
He joined in with Xue Cong and the others.
His eyes couldn’t help it but darted at Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin.
Their cheeks were flushed red. Due to the work they’d done.
It made them look cute and a sense of heroism rose from within him, wanting to protect them.
When Xue Cong and Yue Jie caught his gaze at them, their cheeks burned hot.
It must have been the gossip from the servant girls yesterday, they thought. Not thinking much.
Liu Shi Shi saw what happened and it intrigued her again.
She knew it. How could a young master not succumb to his urge.
Picking up a piece of at, she put it into Lin Xuan Qi’s bowl and said, "Eat more, Master Lin."
She glanced over at Xue Cong and Yue Jie, trying to see their response.
But they were calm and focused on their food.
After the previous incident, they knew that Liu Shi Shi was just trying to tease them.
Lee He Song, Yue Xin and Zhi Yong were out of the loop and enjoyed their al peacefully.
"Here’s what I need you to do today." Lin Xuan Qi held his chopsticks in the air and started to brief them on the day ahead.
He started to instruct them to get the ingredients he required to experint on making soap from his mory.
"Xue Cong, go and get so clam shells and lard back. I don’t need too many for now."
"Clam shells? I can try." Xue Cong wasn’t sure why Lin Xuan Qi would want that.
She recalled that there were so fishmongers in the market. They might have what she needed.
"Zhi Yong, follow Xue Cong and protect her." Lin Xuan Qi said.
"Yue Jie and Yue Xin, I need you to try and get crop stalks. Sa thing, I don’t need too much of it for now."
"Yes, Master Lin." Yue Jie and Yue Xin nodded.
"Master Lee, I think it’s best you follow and protect them." Lin Xuan Qi glanced over to Lee He Song.
Lee He Song bowed at him and said, "Rest assured I will keep them safe."
"And don’t worry, I will keep you safe here." Liu Shi Shi interjected.
She glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi and narrowed her eyes.
...
After they finished their al, everyone got on their way to do what Lin Xuan Qi had instructed.
When the workers from Hun Xiong Kun ca, Lin Xuan Qi handled them.
And when they left, Lin Xuan Qi thought that he could finally have a breather.
There were so many things for him to work on for the future of his clan.
It was small but mostly on the right track.
He poured himself a cup of tea and picked up the teacup.
The aroma of the tea was subtle, and he took a whiff of it.
"Ah... This is life." Lin Xuan Qi exclaid after taking a sip from the teacup.
"Isn’t this mont great for a poem?" Liu Shi Shi ca into the main hall and said.
