Moreover, the new Scholar wants to expand his family business and share the cake, which will inevitably lead to conflicts with the old powers.
Once the result is obtained, deducing the reasons becos much easier.
Xu Qing knew exactly where he stood.
He bid farewell to Teacher Yan, and before that, he had people leave quite a bit of charcoal at the Yan family school and Teacher Yan’s ho.
This was genuinely sending charcoal in snowy weather, even more effective than leaving Silver.
Although he had figured out Li Feng’s background, Xu Qing didn’t rush to seek ntorship but prepared to further explore the other party’s preferences and temperant before making a visit.
Sotis, the success or failure of a matter often lies in the details.
Regardless of its utility, Xu Qing made sure to handle the details first.
...
...
For matters of detail, Xu Qing was responsible for the general direction, while the specific implentation was naturally left to Yan Shan and the people from Yihe Hall.
Yan Shan was now quite adept at acting as Xu Qing’s steward, mainly because there were benefits involved.
A destitute minor clansman also needs to make a living.
And speaking of profiting, it seed like Yan Shan had awakened a talent for it, showing great enthusiasm.
Xu Qing let it be, though.
The matter of money, he truly did not care much about, and could not manage too ticulously.
What he cared about was how many resources he could mobilize to achieve his goals when he wanted to get things done.
That was more important than money.
Moreover, as the founder of a power, his prestige was originally incomparable to that of a successor. As long as Xu Qing was alive, he could maintain his dominant position.
As for after his death, there was nothing much to consider.
In the end, he still had too few people under him.
So keeping Su Lianqing also had this advantage, to handle so dirty work for him.
And with the Lotus Sect being a constant threat, having this insider was surely a good thing.
Besides, it was about tapping into the skills Su Lianqing possessed, such as the Disguise Technique...
Things needed to be handled step by step; there was no need to rush.
Xu Qing returned ho, rode the Fire Cloud Horse, and went to the stables of Jiangning Prefecture. This place was not big, but spacious enough to let the horses run.
By his side, a military officer was in charge of keeping an eye on things and taught Xu Qing horsemanship.
On the journey here, Xu Qing had already learned so basics, and now he was delving deeper.
As for the Fire Cloud Horse, although it was a fiery steed, it beca very obedient with Xu Qing since he used the technique of Yaksha King to penetrate its body and thoroughly terrified the horse.
Now in the eyes of the Fire Cloud Horse, Xu Qing was akin to a Demon God incarnate.
Actually, beasts follow the natural law of the survival of the fittest, so after subduing the Fire Cloud Horse, the fiery horse cooperated well with Xu Qing’s horsemanship.
Seeing this, the military officer could only feel that this horse indeed belonged to Xu Sanyuan.
And was glad that the Fire Cloud Horse had found its true master.
Xu Qing raised the Cow Tendon Hard Bow while atop the horse.
Usually, he used this bow to practice Bull Demon Strength cultivation technique and toughen his body. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the features of this bow.
Once familiar with a weapon, it beca easy to handle.
The most suitable one is the best one.
Xu Qing nocked an arrow and drew the bowstring, lding his waist and horse into one, ticulously contemplating the various details of mounted archery.
He was in a state of "Absolute Focus", very sensitive to the feedback on details.
Arrow by arrow, he gradually found the feeling of exertion, and his aim beca increasingly precise.
In this process, Xu Qing felt the power exertion of the Fire Cloud Horse, coordinating with his own Strength Force, and the sensation in his heart grew more wondrous.
Galloping between heaven and earth, killing amidst the worldly dust.
Such adventurous and reckless style truly fascinated people.
Now, Xu Qing sowhat felt like he was back in his previous life as a child, watching martial arts dramas.
While galloping on the horse, Xu Qing felt extrely content and happy.
This was also because since his rebirth, he had been living too cautiously and restrainedly.
The more one lacks sothing, the more one yearns for it.
Living in the worldly society, there were hardly many chances to act recklessly and wilfully.
Xu Qing silently reflected.
He rode horses and practiced archery in the stable until dusk, when Guard Wang ca looking for him, saying Magistrate He needed him.
Xu Qing bowed and apologized, "I planned to visit tomorrow during Lord’s rest day, but didn’t expect Lord to want to see now. I apologize for my rudeness."
Guard Wang smiled, "Lord just discussed an important matter related to Gongming, so he specifically ca to find you. As for formalities, given the relationship between Gongming and Lord, the elaborate details really need not be scrutinized."
He being half a worldly society man, having been with the Old Master for a long ti, his speech also had a bit of a flourish.
Xu Qing smiled, and then handed over the physically demanding Fire Cloud Horse to the military officer for care, and followed Guard Wang riding another two horses to the Governnt.
On the way, Guard Wang was surprised, "Haven’t seen you for many days, Gongming, your horsemanship has indeed improved a lot."
Xu Qing smiled, "After all, I still have to ride to the Divine Capital for the examination later on, riding there will definitely be more relaxing."
Guard Wang nodded, then said, "By the way, Master Fayue asked to bring a ssage, saying if you have free ti, he would like to visit."
Xu Qing knew it was concerning the business partnership discussed last ti.
He said, "Let’s set it for tomorrow then. Brother Wang should co over too, we can all have a vegetarian al together."
Guard Wang laughed, "Those Martial Monks who practice martial arts do need to eat at; no need for a vegetarian al."
Xu Qing also knew this, but so face-saving asures were necessary to prevent others from feeling awkward.
Seeing Guard Wang’s tone, it seed that he had a rather lively relationship with Golden Ray Monastery recently, able to joke casually.
After all, there was the original relationship with Great Zen Temple, and now with business interactions, they got even closer.
The two chatted casually on their way to the Governnt.
Magistrate He at the doorway of his study greeted Xu Qing, "Gongming, heard that on this trip out, you achieved quite a lot."
Xu Qing, "It all depends on Lord’s teachings, I dare not take credit."
Magistrate He warmly pulled Xu Qing into the room, "I’ve said I would help you revitalize your family business, this ti I have a business opportunity for you, give it so attention."
He paused, then said aningfully, "This business also has backing from the Divine Capital."
