Back in the dining room, Yue Tingyu and Old Master Luo had already prepared the al, but seeing everyone looking so serious, she asked worriedly, "What’s going on?"
Old Master Luo also frowned, thinking his excuse of feigning a stomachache to avoid trouble had been found out: "Well, I can go next ti, can’t I?"
"Grandpa, you’re overthinking it." Luo Qianqian twitched the corner of her mouth, finding Old Master Luo adorably naïve.
"Actually, we’re going to have a eting to decide who’s responsible for various aspects and the departnts we should have." Luo Qianqian shrugged, calmly sitting down and beckoning Big Black and Xiao Hei over with a finger: "No need to say more, Big Black and Xiao Hei are definitely part of the Divine Beast Departnt."
"Luo Qianqian, stop talking about departnts, do you think this is so city office job? Running a company?" Luo Yanran interjected, her head full of black lines.
Luo Shufan nodded repeatedly in agreent with Luo Yanran’s statent, understanding the logic but realizing others might not: "But what’s said makes sense, eventually there will be spiritual beasts and divine beasts, just like Xiao Tian, it’s essential to establish this departnt."
"Aren’t you the one talking about departnts?" Luo Qianqian grumbled, pouting while looking at the pineapple cake on the table, poking Tang Guo hurriedly: "Are you also considered a beast?"
Tang Guo looked at Luo Qianqian for a long ti, ensuring her brain wasn’t malfunctioning, then nodded after confirming she indeed asked that question.
"Let’s just call it the ’Post-Founding, No Becoming Essence Departnt.’" Qianqian’s eyes sparkled as she quickly suggested.
Qin Nuan twitched the corner of her mouth: "I told you, no departnts, and it’s too long."
Feng Xi also looked disdainful: "What about those with feathers?" As part of the Phoenix Clan, she needed to fight for her kind’s interests.
The Feathered Clan, also called the avians, left three dramatic black lines on Luo Qianqian’s forehead. You can’t just call them beasts...
Besides Luo Qianqian, apparently many others had the sa thought, causing everyone to awkwardly look down, powerless to refute.
"Non-human Division." Luo Shufan said, his mouth twitching too.
"If not departnts, how about using ’Division’? Feels quite manga-like." Luo Qianqian blinked: "Non-human Division sounds better than non-human or non-human clan, right?"
"Hmm, then Tang Guo can manage it..." Tang Tianyi nodded imdiately after speaking. After all, it seed Tang Guo was the strongest.
By the ti he was born, Feng Xi was already too scared to co out.
Feng Xi had no objections, but Tang Guo did: "I don’t want to, such trivial things should be left to them. I want to stay with Qianqian."
Feng Xi as the head of the Non-human Division, with Big Black and Xiao Hei as deputy heads, this decision was settled.
Luo Qianqian held paper and pen, noting down these details.
"Heavenly Secret Sect, let’s call it the Heavenly Secrets Departnt?"
"...why not just call it the Sky Driver, the driver in the sky." Luo Qianqian said without thinking, then noticed Luo Shufan gazing at her speechlessly, realizing whose words she had followed. She stuck out her tongue: "Grandpa, I was wrong."
"But it really doesn’t sound good." Old Master Luo chuckled, not bothered.
The two of them enjoyed the mountains and rivers, quite cheerfully, especially with dutiful children and grandchildren around, discussing everything together. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
If no one objected, rely accepting his word, he wouldn’t be happy with that either.
After all, this was the kids’ endeavor; he couldn’t be that kind of elder.
"During the Sui Dynasty, there was a Star-picking Tower, how about calling it the Star-picking Departnt?" Qin Liang suggested, seemingly lost in clouds but still speaking up.
"Star-picking sounds good to ." Luo Qianqian seed quite supportive.
"Tianyi will be responsible? Then let those two take a test first." Luo Shufan promptly said.
Tang Tianyi didn’t refuse, nodding: "Alright."
"We should set up a Treasure Gathering Departnt." Luo Qianqian said, writing excitedly in her notebook.
"What?" Luo Yanran was puzzled. He knew about the Cornucopia, but mining? No, thank you.
"It’s about comrce. When Second Uncle arrives, he will have a place to apply himself." Luo Qianqian earnestly explained.
"Then perhaps establish a Martial Departnt, so if your brother and uncle arrive, they’ll have a place too."
"Ha, Grandma, good idea."
Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkled, quickly scribbling down her brainstorming ideas.
"Punishnt, Welfare, Elixirs, and the Cafeteria are all necessary." Luo Shufan contemplated for a mont before continuing.
"Oh, this one’s easy; the Punishnt Departnt goes to Little Uncle—super strict. Welfare can be overseen by Fourth Brother—he’s quite stingy. For elixirs, naturally it’s Nuannuan, and the cafeteria, well, leave it to Grandma and the aunts. Of course, we’ll recruit more people to not overburden Grandma. She can just handle managent duties."
"Luo Qianqian, say that again! Who’s stingy?!" Luo Yanran’s furious voice rang out.
Luo Qianqian innocently blinked her eyes: "Fourth Brother, you’re über stingy. Back then, the wages you offered for working for you weren’t the sa as for the others, were they? Exploiting labor, intimidating laborers!"
Old Master Luo snorted: "I agree. Best find soone to oversee him, to prevent embezzlent."
"Dear Grandpa, dear sister..." Luo Yanran twitched his mouth, successfully backing down under Grandpa’s glare.
"First, we need a good na for welfare... um, the ’Spreading Wealth House’..."
As soon as Luo Qianqian spoke, Luo Yanran flicked her forehead: "Who’s spreading wealth?"
Luo Shufan stood up, flexing his hand: "Fourth Brother, let’s have a chat."
With that, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he took—no, dragged—Luo Yanran away.
Not long after, cries echoed.
Luo Shufan returned soon, looking relaxed, a calm look on his face: "Just recalling things from the past made a bit hotheaded, but now I’m completely refreshed." He winked at Luo Qianqian while speaking.
Luo Qianqian awkwardly rubbed her nose; how many more tis would Luo Yanran get beaten up for that incident how she had begged them not to kill her?
"Oww..." Luo Yanran erged, clutching his forehead full of lumps: "Luo Shufan, are you my brother? Do brothers treat each other like this?"
"Is that how a brother treats his sister?" Old Master Luo imdiately countered with an angry glare.
Every ti he recalled this brat’s deeds, he just wanted to hit him.
Luo Yanran silently buried his head in Qin Nuan’s arms in grievance.
Back then, he was just a kid... why couldn’t they let it go after all these years...
"Ahem, finally, Rashal, along with each departnt’s head, Grandpa, Qin Liang, Big Brother Bai and I will form the Decision-making Council, where the minority yields to the majority, able to veto Brother’s decisions."
"I could give you a veto vote." Luo Shufan sighed helplessly, considering that anything Luo Qianqian disagreed with, he wouldn’t carry out anyway.
"Hehe, I want to be invisible normally, not showing up in any formal venues, partly because I’m still young and unstable, hindering cultivation, and partly to sotis pose as a newcor." Luo Qianqian spoke with a wide grin.
"You might as well say you’re just looking to slack off." Luo Yanran rolled his eyes.
"Qianqian, I’d like to form an Assassination Departnt, to handle matters that can’t be solved on the surface." Rashal suddenly spoke up.
An assassin? Luo Qianqian was stunned for a while, then looked at Luo Shufan, only to find his nodding agreent.
"Fine, but you’ll have to find the people yourself." Luo Qianqian shrugged, jotting down another note in her little book.
With every big and little matter thought over and recorded by Luo Qianqian, dinner then finally comnced.
