“I actually do have one. What kind of person is the lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain?” Yuan asked her.
“The lord, huh? Why do you want to know about him?” The Manager held a mysterious smile on her face.
“Out of curiosity, I guess,” Yuan said.
“Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about the lord. However, if you live here for long enough, you might get to see him.”
“Is that so?”
“Anyways, if you have questions about the mountain, you can contact at any ti of the day. Here’s my business card.” The Manager handed her card to them.
“Jenny Zhang…” Yuan read the na on the business card.
“You can just call Jenny.”
After shaking hands with each other, Manager Jenny left the scene.
“Since this finished earlier than expected, I’ll go spar with Li Jinxgi now,” Yuan said as he stood up.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I’m not sure, honestly… In fact, I’m wondering what my role— my purpose is now. Am I still your caretaker? It really doesn’t feel like it since I have been spending most of my ti cultivating…” ixiu asked him.
Yuan pondered for a mont before speaking, “We’re no longer in a small ho with just the two of us. There’s Lulu and the others, not to ntion the faction. Furthermore, I will be spending most of my ti in Cultivation Online now, so I won’t need any attention. Instead of remaining as my caretaker, why don’t you do sothing different? Like being the manager of the faction?”
“So basically what my mother is doing?” ixiu asked.
Even though ifeng is still the Yu Family’s caretaker, she doesn’t actually do any caretaking at all, leaving all of the chores for the other servants under her. Instead, she manages the Yu Family’s company, such as doing their finances and scheduling their appointnts, which has nothing to do with being a caretaker— at least not a normal one.
“If you put it that way, I guess so. After all, you’re Miss ifeng’s daughter, and I trust you the most when it cos to these kinds of things. You’re smart, responsible, and hardworking. I cannot think of anyone else more fitting than you to manage my— our faction.” Yuan said with a smile.
“…”
ixiu was left speechless by Yuan’s trust in her, even blushing a bit from his complints.
“Okay. I will see what I can do.” ixiu nodded with a resolute face.
Then she realized sothing.
“What about the actual chores? Who will do them now?” ixiu asked a mont later.
“That’s a good question…” Yuan pondered for a bit before speaking, “Maybe we should do it ourselves.”
“I would hire people to do the chores, but we’re kind of short on money after moving to this place, and it’ll be a good way to discipline ourselves.”
“Discipline…?” ixiu raised her eyebrows.
She cannot imagine Wang Ming and the others doing chores, as they’re all from powerful and wealthy families, so they’re probably used to having other people handling their chores.
“Let’s gather everyone first,” Yuan said.
Soti later, everyone gathered in the main lobby.
“What’s the matter? Why did you gather everyone, Yuan?” Wang Ming asked him, as they were in the middle of training when they were called.
“Well, I’ve been talking to ixiu about our future and how we should take care of this place. I have decided to make ixiu the manager of the faction, so she will no longer have ti to be my caretaker. This ans we have nobody to do the chores such as cleaning and cooking, and I’m wondering what we should do.”
“Why don’t we just hire so people to do it instead? That’s what most big families do.” Shi Lang suggested.
“I also thought about that, but we’re short on money right now, and I don’t know how we’ll get permission to let these people inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain.”
Chu Liuxiang then raised her hand and said, “Actually, the Dragon Spiral Mountain provides free servants if you need people to do chores.”
“Huh? Really?”
She nodded and continued, “On the first of every month, the Dragon Spiral Mountain will provide free cleaning services to everyone living in the mountain. However, the downside is that they’ll only be available on the first of every month, aning they won’t be there whenever you need sothing to be cleaned. But unless we’re making a ss, we don’t need to clean that often.”
“If soone makes a ss, they should just clean up after themselves.”
Yuan nodded, “That will work. Is everybody okay with this?”
Everyone there nodded.
“What about food? Does this place offer chefs?” Li Jinxi asked.
Chu Liuxiang shook her head and said, “No, we’ll have to either hire them or cook for ourselves.”
ixiu then said, “If it’s just cooking breakfast and dinner, I can handle that by myself.”
“Are you sure? Won’t you be busy with the faction?” Yuan asked her.
“Even if you tell to manage the faction, I don’t think there is that much for to do, especially since we’re new, and we only have 10 people in the faction.”
“If you say so.” Yuan nodded, and he continued, “But if you don’t have ti to cook in the future, let know so we can do sothing about it.”
“Okay.”
Once everything was settled, Yuan went to spar with Li Jinxi and the others in their backyard, which was just an empty field at the mont.
As for ixiu, she went to research more about factions and what managers should be doing for their factions.
“Hey, Jinxi, don’t use too much strength when you spar with Yuan. If you damage the land too much…” Wang Ming warned her.
“I know…” she said.
While Yuan sparred with the others, sowhere in the upper level of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Sebastian greeted Chu Liuxiang’s foster parents.
“I have returned, Master Chu, Madam Chu.” Sebastian bowed to them.
“Sebastian? Why did you suddenly return alone? Where’s my daughter?” Chu Liuxiang’s father asked him.
“The Young Lady is still with Yuan. They are also currently in the Dragon Spiral Mountain, so I decided to return alone and let the Masters know of the situation.”
