"However, Master, not everyone can use these charms. They must be used by cultivators, ordinary people cannot use them." He reminded.
"I know."
An Jiuyue had already thought of this. When the ti cos to distribute these two kinds of charms, she will exchange for so Paper Persons to activate the charms.
"I will contact Eldest Brother Yan and have him arrange the matters as soon as possible."
So things she and Qian Jiyun could handle, but other matters required an order from the Emperor. Otherwise, if they handled everything directly, where would the Emperor’s authority be?
"I have decided to exchange for more Rain Gathering Charms and Lightning Summoning Charms."
With so many points, if she couldn’t spend them all, she would just exchange for more, letting each place have two days of rain should be enough, right?
"Everything will be done according to Master’s wishes."
Wei Na naturally had no objections. He was no longer the Wei Na who would wail heartbrokenly when the Master spent even a few points.
Now, no matter how many points the Master wanted to spend, he had no objections. To him, these points were just a string of numbers now, and if not spent, they would be wasted just sitting there.
...
The people sent to investigate had returned to report before Steward Hao.
"Are you saying you saw Master Ji enter that residence?" Steward Hao’s brows furrowed deeply at this mont.
He rembered Sheng Qingyu’s lackey well. Back then, he had helped Sheng Qingyu put him through many difficulties, only stopping when Steward Hao produced the Governor’s Mandate Token.
"Could it be that all that grain belongs to Sheng Qingyu?"
He couldn’t help but suspect, but it was only for a fleeting mont before he dismissed the idea in his mind.
If Sheng Qingyu had such capability to secure so much grain, he wouldn’t allow him to exchange water for grain in the city, and would have clashed with him long ago.
Which ans all that grain was managed solely by Master Ji, or perhaps, apart from Sheng Qingyu, Master Ji had found an even greater backer.
"Master Ji truly is capable, to find an even more formidable backer." He narrowed his eyes, now forced to see Master Ji in a new light.
"Imdiately send soone to contact Master Ji, saying that this steward invites him for a banquet, and asks him to co to Manxiang Building tomorrow for a gathering." He instructed the person in front of him.
"Uh..."
The thug in front hesitated upon hearing Steward Hao’s words.
"Steward, if Master Ji has allied with a more powerful backer, will he even pay attention to us?" he cautiously asked.
Judging by Master Ji’s open manner of selling grain, it was clear he had more than they did, let alone the fact that he could sell grain so publicly without fearing Sheng Qingyu, the prefect.
This indicates that the person behind Master Ji is also capable of suppressing Sheng Qingyu.
Can they really convince him if they just show up like this?
"What did you say?"
Steward Hao glared at the thug with cold eyes.
What was Master Ji anyway, rely a tool used by others, and yet he dared to not put him in his eyes?
"Forgive , steward, I misspoke. I will make arrangents imdiately." The thug dared not speak further and could only turn to make the necessary arrangents, hoping they could invite Master Ji the next day.
"Hmph!"
Steward Hao snorted coldly.
He believed Master Ji wasn’t soone who didn’t know better.
Even if Master Ji didn’t know better, would the person supporting him also be so unaware?
