"Do you live in Green Bamboo Town?"
In the cabin of the brig, Xu Lian was startled by the sudden question. Thinking something was fishy, he turned around and saw Jiang Yunyan walking out of the cabin.
Xu Lian looked strange. When he left the First Street just now, he saw Jiang Yunyan talking to Xiao Xixi. He had just boarded the boat and Jiang Yunyan was already waiting here. This meant that Jiang Yunyan got here faster than him. This was too obvious.
Xu Lian simply stopped playing tricks on her and looked at her eagerly, "Sister, do you like me?"
Jiang Yunyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to be so direct. She blushed and glared at him, "Who likes you? I'm just curious about how a top genius like you who has reached the Huajin stage at such a young age appeared in a remote town in the countryside. That's why I followed you to see for myself."
Explanation is concealment, concealment is the truth... Xu Lian has always been very straightforward about the relationship between men and women, because he doesn't have that much time to play the "guessing game".
Xu Lian said seriously, "Sister, I will ask you one last time. If you like me, then we can be together, because I have a very good impression of you. If I misunderstood you, then I apologize to you. Do you like me or not?"
Jiang Yunyan hesitated for a moment, then blushed and gritted her teeth, mustering up her courage and saying, "Yes, I like you and want you to be my Taoist partner."
Xu Lian was very happy. He stopped being distant with her and immediately took her hand and went into the cabin.
A day and a half later.
The brig arrived at the dock of Green Bamboo Town.
Only then did Xu Lian have time to check Jiang Yunyan's favorability.
Name: Xu Lian
Level: First level of Huajin period
Skills: Holy Spirit Atlas (Complete Edition), Wind-Breaking Sword Technique (Volumes 123), Seven Styles of Xian Gang (Complete Edition), Short Fighting - Chasing Shadows
Note: Jiang Yunyan's favorability towards you is 70/100
The initial favorability level was 70, which showed that Jiang Yunyan had a very good impression of him.
Xu Lian took Jiang Yunyan off the boat and went to the mine.
When they saw Jiang Yunyan, all the miners in the mine were stunned, including the supervisors Pu Lin, Zhang Yuan and Lin Bufeng. They had never seen such an accomplished woman in spiritual practice. She had a pure and elegant temperament, as if she was not to be desecrated or approached. It was as if she was the clouds in the sky and they were the mud on the ground. It was really a strange feeling.
This is indeed the case. Cultivation is a leap in the level of life. Ordinary people will naturally feel ashamed when they see people who have achieved success in spiritual practice.
Xu Lian asked Pu Lin to gather everyone together and announced in public that Pu Lin would be promoted from deputy manager to manager of the mine.
Then, Xu Lian appointed Yang Ye as the deputy manager of the mine to assist Pu Lin in managing the mine. It didn't matter even though Yang Ye was not here.
Zhang Yuan became anxious and looked at Xu Lian eagerly.
Lin Bufeng didn't mind, he was satisfied just being a supervisor.
Xu Lian thought about it and appointed Zhang Yuan as the team leader and Lin Bufeng as the deputy team leader.
Zhang Yuan said depressedly, "Brother Lian, there are only two supervisors in the entire mine, me and Bufeng. Do I only supervise one person?"
Xu Lian said, "In order to save the mine's expenses, I didn't recruit supervisors before. Now there are more and more miners in the mine, and you don't have enough supervisors. It's time to recruit more supervisors."
Zhang Yuan was delighted, "This is the real supervisor captain."
Xu Lian didn't say anything more and left with Jiang Yunyan.
Pu Lin will take care of the mine matters himself, and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
After he takes Wang Cuiyun and the others to Pingyang County, he may rarely return to Luzhu Town in the future.
The days when he worked as a manager in the mine should have been the most unforgettable and happiest days of his life. However, people have to move forward and cannot stay in the past.
There are people in this world who can live forever. Like billions of practitioners, he is no exception and is moving step by step towards the goal of longevity. He longs to become a powerful person and own a pure land of his own, free from any strange threats and without his destiny being dominated by any force.
Back to the town and the house on Xinjie.
Xu Lian told Yang Ye about his appointment as deputy steward, and about taking Wang Cuiyun and the others to the county town. "Father-in-law, are you going to the county town? If you are, you can go with me."
Yang Ye refused without much thought, "I have lived in Green Bamboo Town for most of my life, and have lived a hard life for most of my life. Since Chan'er married my son-in-law, I have been able to live a good life. Now I feel very happy every day. I really don't want to contact or know about the outside world. I just want to live the rest of my life well in Green Bamboo Town."
Xu Lian didn't say anything more and respected Yang Ye's decision. Yang Ye now had money, food, status and he had seven or eight young and beautiful women at home. It would be strange if he wanted to go out... Even if he was given a god, he probably wouldn't want to be one.
Xu Lian brought Jiang Yunyan into the house.
Hearing the noise, Wang Cuiyun came out of the house and greeted him with a smile on her old face, "Master, you're back."
Xu Lian looked at her carefully and said, "Aunt Wang, you seem to have become a little younger."
Wang Cuiyun smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my father."
Jiang Yunyan's eyes were strange. One called her Grandpa and the other called her Aunt Wang, but she couldn't figure out what their relationship was.
Wang Cuiyun enthusiastically pulled Jiang Yunyan's hand, and said with a sound of admiration, "What a pretty girl! She has a slim figure without looking skinny, and her skin is as white and tender as silk. My master has a good taste."
Xu Lian had to admit that Wang Cuiyun's evaluation was very accurate.
Wang Cuiyun smiled and said to Jiang Yunyan, "We have stewed beef at home. You will have a treat tonight."
Jiang Yunyan didn't know what to say. Beef was nothing. She grew up eating meat of exotic animals. She had only tasted common meat like beef once out of curiosity when she was a child.
Hearing the voices outside, Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue also came out. They were naturally happy as they hadn't seen Xu Lian for nearly two months.
The six of us had dinner together.
Looking at the five people wolfing down their food, Jiang Yunyan was speechless, feeling like she was out of place.
Xu Lian said, "I will be staying in Pingyang County for a long time in the future. I plan to bring you to live in Pingyang County."
Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue were all very happy, as this meant they no longer had to live apart from Xu Lian.
Wang Cuiyun was a little unhappy. She didn't want to go anywhere as she had so much food and drink at home. "You guys go, I won't go."
Xu Lian said, "How can I do this? I'm worried about leaving you here alone. Yang Ye is now the deputy manager of the mine, and he won't be guarding outside the house anymore. If any scumbag sneaks in and something happens to you, how can I explain it to Xiya? Besides, I have a lot of women in the county, and I just need someone like you to keep the peace."
Wang Cuiyun was happy to hear this, "Master, don't you think I'm an eyesore?"
Xu Lian said sincerely, "When have I ever disliked you? I have always emphasized that an old person in the family is like a treasure, and you are the living treasure of the family."
Wang Cuiyun said happily, "Then I'll go."
Xu Lian said, "That's right. You will feel so lonely if you stay here alone. Go to the county town and live a lively life. Life will be more interesting. There are not only chickens, ducks, fish, beef and mutton in the county town, but also meat of exotic animals. Eating them can prolong your life."
Wang Cuiyun's eyes lit up, "Then I'm going even more!"
After dinner.
Xu Lian took Jiang Yunyan for a walk in the yard to cultivate their favorability.
Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue were very reserved in front of this noble lady and did not follow.
When it was time to rest, Xu Lian arranged a guest room for Jiang Yunyan.
Then he returned to the main house where he lived.
As expected, Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue were all there. He had only been back for two months, and no one was willing to give in. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. He was forced to play the role of the fisherman.
Late at night, he got up and had to accompany "Deep Well Ice" in the old well in the back garden to comfort her, which consolidated the sisterhood.
The next day.
Xu Lian checked the favorability. There was no change in Caixia. 93/100 was too high and it was difficult to increase it further. Yu Qingning increased from 80/100 to 85/100. Miao Yueyue made great progress, rising from 60/100 to 75/100, which was a small breakthrough and had great potential.
After breakfast.

Xu Lian went to Peijiazhuang, met the head and mother of the Pei family, and told them about Pei Heng and Pei Zhaoxi's martial arts training in Pingyang County, as well as the matter of the spiritual house on the first street.
The head of the Pei family and the mother of the Pei family were very happy and immediately began to pack up and prepare to go to the county town with him.
Xu Lian made an appointment with the head of the Pei family to meet at the dock in the evening, mainly to facilitate the travel of the female family members.
Then, he went to Lichunfang to find Chuntao, and directly placed one hundred taels of gold in front of Aunt Fang, asking her to move Lichunfang to the county town, and said that he could give her a storefront in the county town.
Aunt Fang hugged the one hundred taels of gold tightly in her arms, her mouth split with smile, and agreed without hesitation.
It was evening.
Xu Lian took Wang Cuiyun and the others and left their house in Xinjie, locked the door, and might not come back for a long time.
Arrived at the pier.
I met the head of the Pei family, the mother of the Pei family, several illegitimate sons and daughters, as well as Aunt Chuntao and Fang and a group of beautiful girls from Lichunfang.
Under the stunned gaze of the dock manager, Xu Lian took everyone across the river by boat.

The steward of the dock said cautiously, "Sir, will the higher-ups hold you accountable for leaving Green Bamboo Town with so many people?"
Xu Lian said calmly, "What do you mean by top or not? I am the top, understand?"
The dock manager quickly responded "yes" and didn't dare to say anything more.
