Capítulo 1259: Chapter 237: Beset with Troubles
“Master!”
Seeing the disciple standing in front of him, Lu Hong smiled slightly, pretending to know nothing, and said, “Why? Didn’t I entrust all affairs of the City Lord Mansion to you? How do you have the ti to co here and pay respects to ?”
As soon as these words ca out, Qin Hong blushed with embarrassnt. Ever since Lu Hong delegated power to Qin Hong to manage the City Lord Mansion, Qin Hong only had two things to do: handle political affairs and cultivate. Over the past few months, this was the first ti entering the small courtyard where Lu Hong lived.
Blocked by Lu Hong’s words, Qin Hong couldn’t say what he wanted.
He could only nod and say, “Yes, I just thought it has been a long ti since I last saw Master, so I ca to pay respects, wanting to see Master, and ask for so guidance on my recent cultivation.”
“Forget about guidance for now. When you truly enter the Second Transformation, I’ll teach you the skills for it. Learning them now is useless. If you have nothing else, go out and wander. That girl nad Su Qingyao, right? She seems decent. Have you been interacting with her lately?”
“Uh…” Qin Hong didn’t have ti for Lu Hong, let alone Su Qingyao, whom he thought was sowhat opportunistic.
Qin Hong shook his head imdiately and said, “Su Qingyao is no different from others in the family. I initially helped her out of pity, without any other intentions.”
“Oh? Is that so? Well, suit yourself. But I think Su Qingyao is pretty good. You might try to make contact; perhaps you’ll gain sothing different.” Having said this, Lu Hong closed his eyes, beginning ditation and cultivation, saying no more, giving the appearance of dismissing him.
Qin Hong had no choice but to leave Lu Hong’s small courtyard, sighing, and turning away.
It seems that the situation he created himself still needs his own solving.
As for how to solve it, he would take one step at a ti!
As ti went by, industries and affairs controlled by the families within Photon City began to have problems. There were daily hundreds of ergencies in Photon City, keeping Qin Hong extrely busy. As soon as he dealt with one issue, another would arise, all troubles caused by families for Qin Hong, but the problem was, they had justification, leaving Qin Hong unable to explode, only gritting his teeth.
Photon City beca extrely chaotic due to the mischief of these families. The citizens began to spontaneously gather in front of the City Lord Mansion, constantly cursing. During the previous City Lord’s tenure, citizens had stable lives, though not affluent, but now with a new City Lord, their lives beca increasingly difficult, practically living in harsh conditions, blaming whom?
The ordinary citizens couldn’t see the deeper reasons, only blaming the City Lord, so the number of those cursing increased.
Listening to the cursing outside, Qin Hong felt as if a knife twisted his heart. He issued decrees intending to benefit Photon City’s citizens, but now, the ones he wanted to help were cursing him, truly mistaking kindness for cruelty.
Through this series of events, Qin Hong finally started reflecting.
Qin Hong wasn’t a person who arrogantly assus. After facing a series of setbacks, he ca to realize, which was the reason Lu Hong valued Qin Hong the most; making mistakes isn’t scary, but not facing and fixing them is truly undesirable.
After pondering all night, the next morning, Qin Hong, with reddened eyes, summoned the old housekeeper and then spoke in a deep voice: “Mr. Liu, I’ve decided, revoke the decrees I previously issued. It was too hasty on my part, and I’ve written an Apology Letter to reassure the millions of citizens and hundreds of families in Photon City.”
Looking at the Apology Letter written with gritted teeth overnight by Qin Hong on the desk, Mr. Liu couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly. He also knew, though Qin Hong’s intentions were good, he used the wrong thod, and combined with Lu Hong’s non-interference, this led to the enormous ntal and physical tornt Qin Hong endured over the past month.
However, evidently under such tornt, the growth was rapid. At least Qin Hong’s perspective now wasn’t limited to one place but started having a global view, thinking no longer simply and violently but considering many underlying matters.
Mr. Liu felt both gratified and heartached.
“As you wish!” Mr. Liu bowed, just about to pick up the Apology Letter from the desk when Lu Hong suddenly appeared, interrupting him.
“Disciples, seeing you like this, you haven’t been doing well recently, have you?” Lu Hong cheerfully walked into the office room.
Seeing Lu Hong arrive, Qin Hong and Mr. Liu quickly stepped forward respectfully and bowed.
“The old servant pays respect to the City Lord.”
“The disciple pays respect to Master!”
“Stand up.” Lu Hong walked to the desk, looked through Qin Hong’s written Apology Letter carefully, and smiled, “Why are you taking all the bla onto yourself? Behind all this trouble are those family people, what have you done wrong?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hong shook his head and said, “I was too self-assured and rushed for achievents, causing the citizens of Photon City to suffer, all the bla falls on .”
“Haha, you think too much, disciple. Ultimately, it is your lack of power. If those thirteen decrees were issued by , what do you think those family people in Photon City would do?”
Hearing Lu Hong’s inquiry, Qin Hong pondered for a mont and then said, “Two choices: one is to abandon themselves and strictly adhere to the decrees issued by Master, the other is to relocate their entire family, leaving Photon City completely, seeking another place to live.”
“Indeed, you are very correct. So ultimately, it’s your lack of power. If you had my power, what you want to do, how would it matter if others oppose, just kill them all.” Lu Hong’s tone turned indifferent. Though he wasn’t a bloodthirsty person, he wasn’t a kind and soft-hearted person either. When it’s ti to kill, Lu Hong wouldn’t hesitate.
“The disciple rembers Master’s teachings!” Qin Hong nodded and saluted Lu Hong again.
While Qin Hong bowed deeply, Lu Hong picked up the Apology Letter and tore it to pieces: “Besides, there’s another lesson you must keep in mind. If you have a powerful army under your control, those thirteen decrees can actually be easily implented, and those family conspiracies will be unraveled.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hong couldn’t help but nod in deep agreent. Initially, when the Wang family secretly hoarded vast amounts of resources, if he had capable people under him, the situation could have been broken quickly. Although it might not directly solve everything at once, the situation would be much better than now. Ordinary citizens, would not cause trouble if they were fed and clothed, and the Wang family was where the attack on Qin Hong first signaled, the crucial link, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to ruin Qin Hong’s reputation in Photon City within just a month, being disdained by everyone.
Seeing Lu Hong tear the Apology Letter, Qin Hong couldn’t help but say, “Master, the matter started with . Let be the one to end it, you…”
“Hehe,” Lu Hong laughed and said, “since I allowed you to do it, you represent my will. The families dare to disregard you, ultimately, is a challenge to my authority. And the reason they dare to challenge my authority stems from two points: first, you and I, master and disciple, are weak, and second, the upcoming retaliation from the Ao Family. Only when we truly withstand the Ao Family’s retaliation, can these family people in Photon City completely accept authority and follow you and I. This second point, I will handle today. As for the first point, I believe you have ideas, go ahead, create an army entirely under your control, let it beco the sharp blade in your hand. I allow you to pass on the cultivation thod I practice, to establish a powerful force belonging solely to you!”
Listening to Lu Hong’s words, Qin Hong’s eyes beca wet imdiately. As a disciple who made mistakes, his master helped unconditionally, isn’t this aweso? Better than a biological father, isn’t it!
Moved beyond words, Qin Hong couldn’t help but kneel and kowtow: “Disciple… thanks the kind Master!”
“Get up, don’t just kneel all the ti, haven’t I told you, I’m not into these ceremonies?” Lu Hong said, looking at Mr. Liu: “Find so capable and identifiably strong people for Qin Hong, around three thousand.”
Mr. Liu imdiately bowed upon hearing this: “The old servant obeys!”
After giving these instructions, Lu Hong strode out of the office room, and a powerful aura began to rise.
Causing those citizens cursing outside the City Lord Mansion to suddenly feel like a heavy stone pressed on their chests, they retreated continually, fleeing the scope of the City Lord Mansion in panic while shouting about the City Lord wanting to kill people.
However, evidently, Lu Hong didn’t display his power just to drive them away. He began to speak aloud to the empty air: “The two Martial Kings of the Ao Family, have been in Photon City for a month, haven’t you? So? Had enough of watching the joke? Isn’t it ti to do so real business?”
