Chapter 132: The Comntary Work Had to Be Prepared
Over the next three days, everyone was extrely busy.
In the end, the mbers of the Long Family made up their minds to settle down completely within the sect.
After all, their son, daughter, and Xiao Ying were all here; all their attachnts were gathered in this place.
However, an additional, subtle layer of awkwardness had arisen between Long Tao and Luo Yusi.
Although he had been jokingly calling her “godmother” these past few days, whenever he thought about how she had been his mother’s childhood playmate—and that even his swaddling cloth and childhood clothes had been woven from her silk—Long Tao felt sothing was off.
His heart would even start racing.
He was truly a little afraid that one day Luo Yusi would co over and say sothing like, “Long Tao, I even held you when you were little.” But on second thought, she probably had not yet mastered Transformation Technique back then, so she likely could not have held him anyway.
When he had first watched his younger sister enter the sect, he had felt as though he had suddenly grown older.
And now, just like that, an old friend had turned into his godmother, instantly making him feel younger again.
Xiao Ying had been taken back to Weaving Shadow Peak by her master.
Before leaving, she had repeatedly reminded him to maintain respect toward Luo Yusi as his godmother and not behave as casually as he used to.
However, Long Tao always felt there was sothing hidden in her words; a crafty glint was concealed within those large peach-blossom eyes of hers.
Long Xi and Jiang Wuyun, the two little girls, had also made a decision—to temporarily not live in this large estate, but instead rent a side-room courtyard together on the Main Peak.
Having just entered the sect, this was precisely the ti when cultivation lessons and Grand Lectures were nurous.
Traveling dozens of li back and forth ho every day was simply too troubleso.
It was better to stay directly on the Main Peak and co back when they had ti.
Their parents and Long Tao both agreed.
After all, Long Tao himself worked on the Main Peak daily; if anything happened, he could look after them.
“Long Tao!”
Luo Yusi’s voice ca from behind him.
Long Tao imdiately turned around and responded, “Ah… what instructions does godmother have?”
Just as Luo Yusi was about to approach, upon hearing those two words, she imdiately stopped.
She stomped a few slender spider legs and pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Annoying, stop calling that! Honestly, it’s my fault for playing with your mother for so long back then and never even asking her surna. She never took the initiative to tell either. Otherwise, when I first heard your na, I definitely would have asked another question.”
“Alright, I won’t call you that anymore. But Yusi, my mother didn’t even tell you her surna when she was little… did she really dislike the Long Family that much?”
Luo Yusi placed a finger against her chin and lifted her head, thinking for a mont.
“Hmm… back then she always told to call her Yueyin. I even thought her surna was Yue. But she would often talk about matters at ho. It didn’t seem like she hated them. Didn’t she ever tell you about her hotown?”
“Never. Every ti I took the initiative to ask, she wouldn’t say anything. She always said she would tell when I grew up. Later, after I entered the sect, I never had the chance to ask again.”
“Then your mother probably had her own considerations,” Luo Yusi sighed softly.
“The Long Family was a very prominent aristocratic clan in the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty. Even that Mute Phoenix Empress had to give them face. I don’t know the specifics, but thinking about it now, the courtyard we lived in back then was adjacent to the imperial palace, with extrely tight security. Yet your mother could run over to find us whenever she wished. Her status certainly wasn’t low.”
Hearing this, Long Tao raised his brows involuntarily.
He had not expected that in this world, he actually had quite a background.
Unfortunately, since he would most likely cultivate within the Nine Radiance Heavenly Sect for this lifeti, such a noble identity in another country was ultimately of little importance.
“Speaking of which,” he suddenly asked with curiosity, “what exactly was the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty like?”
“I stayed in the courtyard the whole ti back then and didn’t go out much, so it’s hard to answer,” Luo Yusi shook her head.
Then her compound eyes suddenly lit up.
“But there is one thing I can tell you—that Empress… was at the Deification Stage.”
“What?” Long Tao was utterly shocked.
“Isn’t Deification… unable to leave a Blessed Pocket World?”
“I don’t know the specifics either. But I heard from my mother that the entire imperial capital of the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty was itself a special Blessed Pocket World. With their formations and magical artifacts, the Empress could move freely within the capital’s boundaries and exert her full Deification power.”
“Th-That’s too terrifying.”
Luo Yusi nodded as well.
“Yes. As long as they didn’t take the initiative to invade outward, the Suhuang Heavenly Dynasty was invincible. The Empress could use the imperial city’s formations to connect with the Earth Veins and project her power throughout the territory. Although I heard there were limitations, it was more than sufficient to protect the nation.”
After hearing this extraordinary account, Long Tao and Luo Yusi walked up to the small dirt hill.
In the future, Long Tao planned to build a small observatory platform here, to make up for the slight regret from his previous life of never having bought an astronomical telescope.
Looking down below, the land where three large estates had already been built still had an empty area in the middle.
He had so ideas for that space as well.
First would be a workshop.
Both he and Dong Jiayuan had so research and interest in chanism Arts.
Sharing a small workshop would be convenient.
If they needed to make or repair small items, they would not have to run all the way to Tiangong Pavilion.
Then there were the important quiet chambers and Spirit-Gathering Formations.
Although the sect had quite a few Spirit-Gathering Formations, there were too many applicants lining up.
The formations they built themselves were limited by location and materials and were not very effective.
Now that they had their own land, he and Dong Jiayuan discussed it and decided to spend generously, selecting the best materials possible and hiring a professional formation master within the sect to set it up.
Although the cost would not be small, the investnt was definitely worthwhile for their future cultivation.
They would not have to compete with others for space anymore.
As for things like a Pill Chamber or a spiritual plant garden, they would leave those for later depending on the situation.
Although they had earned so money last ti, it was far from enough to squander freely when establishing properties.
In short, with his parents and Steward Liu here, he no longer needed to worry about household trivialities.
He could devote all his energy to more important matters.
Yes—the upcoming Grand Competition.
Although he had already decided to complete the System Task through the direction of comntary, once he truly began working on it, he realized that aside from his own professional competence, there were quite a few issues to handle.
First was the comntary desk where he and Senior Brother Fang would be seated.
Since this matter had been a suggestion he himself proposed, the concrete arrangents naturally had to be handled by him.
He could not expect the sect to assist.
The Grand Competition was, after all, a grand sect ceremony.
The desk certainly could not be too shabby.
Fortunately, after these past months working at Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, he was now acquainted with the Sect Master.
Through connections, he borrowed a desk from him that would not disgrace the sect.
Then there were the sound amplification devices and formations.
Relying on his previous apprenticeship experience at Tiangong Pavilion under Elder Liu, he shalessly requested two “Speech-Core Jewels.” Put simply, they were sound-amplifying stones.
When the ti ca, he would modify them into the shape of microphones and place them on the table, and that would suffice.
In order for the sound to be evenly transmitted throughout the entire venue, especially to the viewing platform, formations also needed to be set up.
This difficulty, however, was proactively taken on by Senior Brother Fang.
Given his network within the sect, it would presumably be resolved properly.
Long Tao therefore set his mind at ease and only needed to personally test everything before the Grand Competition.
After the Disciple Recruitnt Ceremony concluded, there would be only ten more days until the Grand Competition.
There was not much ti left.
