Chapter 7 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Chapter 7 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
"Elder Jiang, where are we going?" Wen Siyuan looked at the road and it didn't seem to be the way to Hefeng.
"Now that you've joined Hefeng, you're one of my people, so call me Master."
“I haven’t been back for ten years. I have to go around to retrieve my things.”
"I'll take you along to show your face, and then all these errand-running jobs will be yours from now on."
Wen Siyuan was deeply shocked by Jiang He's words.
"Master, I understand. I will take good care of Hefeng."
Wen Siyuan watched Jiang He's retreating figure.
Should we call her Master?
Does Master know that he was expelled from the sect by Yunfeng?
Although he was an outer disciple, he knew that his master and Gu Yunzhou were Daoist partners.
Wen Siyuan wondered if her master knew about what happened on Yunfeng during those years.
"We've arrived at Dan Pavilion. Let's go inside."
Wen Siyuan came to his senses and followed Jiang He into the Dan Pavilion.
"Elder Jiang."
“Give him the share of Hefeng over the past ten years.”
This is Wen Siyuan; he will be the one to collect Hefeng's cultivation resources every month from now on.
"Elder Jiang, you haven't been here for ten years. We need time to take stock. Please give us a day."
"Alright, Siyuan, then you can make that trip tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Jiang He then took Wen Siyuan on a stroll around the other parts of the sect.
Then Wen Siyuan was made to change into clothes with the Hefeng logo.
However, it will take some time, because He Feng has never had any disciples, and naturally there is no preparation for He Feng's personal disciple robes.
Wen Siyuan first received a set of inner disciple robes.
The difference between the robes of direct disciples and those of inner disciples lies in the fact that the robes of direct disciples have the insignia of each peak.
The robes of Yunfeng's direct disciples feature auspicious cloud patterns.
The robe of He Feng's personal disciple features a spiritual herb.
"Master, it's not appropriate for me to wear the robes of a direct disciple."
“What’s wrong with it? People will immediately recognize you as Hefeng if you wear this outfit, which will make it easier for you to help me with things.”
Okay, go and tidy up Hefeng first.
After ten years away, those menial disciples had clearly become much more lax.
Many places are overgrown with weeds.
However, since there was no one around her, the servants naturally prioritized other areas, which she could understand.
Now that she's back, everything will get back on track.
When Jiang He arrived at her cave dwelling, it was filled with dust.
After casting a cleansing spell, the cave was restored to its clean state.
"Siyuan, go and choose a cave yourself. Do you know any cleansing spells?"
"Master, I haven't learned the Cleansing Technique yet."
Jiang He tossed him a jade slip: "If you don't know how, then learn."
Jiang He sent Wen Siyuan away, since that was all the work to be done, and he could arrange things as he pleased.
Jiang He began to organize the various resources she had obtained from different secret realms.
After Jiang He left, everyone got busy.
Jiang He has been gone for ten years, and Gu Yunzhou has taken all of her resources.
Actually, it wasn't just in the last ten years; even before, only half of Jiang He's share was sent over, with the other half taken by Gu Yunzhou.
They figured that Gu Yunzhou and Jiang He were Daoist partners, and that since Gu Yunzhou had come to ask them for it, Jiang He had never said anything and had tacitly agreed.
But now, Jiang He has personally brought his disciples to ask for her things.
That disciple was the one who had been expelled from the sect by Gu Yunzhou.
The relationship between Jiang He and Gu Yunzhou needs some thought.
Jiang He is the sect leader's daughter, and her background and strength are even greater.
Gu Yunzhou owes everything to the sect leader and Jiang He.
They had no choice but to offend Gu Yunzhou.
The other elders are all Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, and at the very least, Golden Core cultivators at the late stage.
Gu Yunzhou was still in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
He has a lot of disciples, but not many of them are useful.
Every year, they test their disciples' cultivation level, and the resources they prepare are all based on the disciples' cultivation level.
Those few in Yunfeng have been stuck in the same place.
Some of them are not as good as the outer disciples.
The heads of Dan Pavilion and Qi Pavilion discussed the matter and finally decided to allocate some of Yun Feng's share to He Feng.
The next day, when Wen Siyuan went to pick up his things, he found a very large and satisfying haul.
Master is truly wealthy.
Seeing so many resources, Wen Siyuan kept his eyes and ears open on the road, fearing that someone might rob him.
In Yunfeng, even fellow disciples would fight over it; since they weren't from the same sect, the fighting became even more outrageous.
Wen Siyuan hurriedly returned to Hefeng.
"Master, I have brought all the resources back."
"Is everything going smoothly?"
"It went quite smoothly, but I'm worried about being robbed."
"Robbery? If you can beat them, then fight. If you can't, then train hard and fight back. You represent Hefeng outside, so you can't lose face."
"Yes, Master, I will cultivate diligently."
Strength is the most important thing; this is the survival rule in the cultivation world.
"Would you like to learn swordsmanship?"
"Reporting to Master, this disciple wishes to..."
"Come with me."
Jiang He led Wen Siyuan to the bamboo forest, where Jiang He practiced her swordsmanship.
"I'll teach you a sword technique."
Jiang He took a bamboo branch and demonstrated a set of sword techniques.
"Did you remember?"
"This disciple has remembered."
"Remember this and practice diligently. I will go into seclusion starting tomorrow. I will check on you when I come out."
Jiang He tossed Wen Siyuan a storage bag, which contained some resources that Wen Siyuan could currently use, which she had selected.
"You can keep the resources that belong to Hefeng disciples for yourself, but remember to take good care of the house."
Jiang He flew on her sword to find the vice sect leader.
"Uncle-Master".
"Xiao He is here. Are you satisfied with the disciple you brought back yesterday?"
"Not bad, quite obedient. Uncle-Master, I went outside and got some spiritual herbs. See if you can use any of them."
Jiang He took out a storage bag, which contained spiritual herbs dug up from various secret realms.
These medicinal herbs are all used for alchemy.
Yesterday, her martial uncle gave her a lot of healing and recovery pills, so she naturally wanted to return the favor.
"You silly girl, you're still thinking about your martial uncle?"
The deputy sect leader took the storage bag and, upon looking at it, was first excited and then thrilled.
"You silly girl, this is such a waste! This Ganoderma lucidum herb is almost a thousand years old, how could you dig it up like that?"
And this Longevity Fruit, the Golden Spirit Seed—if you cultivate these for a few more years, the quality will be worlds apart.
“Uncle-Master, I don’t know anything about alchemy. I just know these are good things, so I took them for you. If I don’t take them, won’t someone else take them? I can’t just guard a single plant.”
I don't know whether to take the leaves or the roots of this grass. Look, I even brought you the soil along with it.
"Uncle-Master, if you think it's not old enough, then you can raise it for a few more years."
"You silly girl, these spiritual herbs have specific environments to grow. I can't just grow them whenever I want."
"Hehe, Uncle-Master, I'm going to find my father first."
How to cultivate this spiritual herb is her uncle's concern; she doesn't care.
Anyway, she just didn't want to benefit Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan.
Jiang He went to see her father again and took a bunch of defensive magical artifacts.
Jiang He went to the secluded cultivation room on the back mountain, and wouldn't come out until she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Senior Brother Wen, we're here to weed."
"You may go, but do not go to Master's cave or the bamboo forest."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Wen, we remember Elder Jiang's rules."
Wen Siyuan went to the bamboo forest to practice his swordsmanship.
Although Master said there were many miscellaneous matters at Hefeng, those matters were naturally handled by the servant disciples, and he only gave them instructions.
All he really had to do was collect resources from various places once a month.
There are other elders, and disciples need to inform their master.
Now that his master is in seclusion, all he can do is cultivate diligently and not bring shame to his master.
His master left him a lot of cultivation resources, as well as various magical artifacts.
"Master, I went to collect cultivation resources, but they said we're out of resources for this month."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yunzhou didn't understand what his disciple was saying, what he meant by "there are no more resources."
"Dan Ge said that Yun Feng had taken away He Feng's share over the past ten years, and now that Elder Jiang has returned, Yun Feng wants to return He Feng's resources."
Hefeng took all our resources this month.
“Jiang He’s resources are my resources. I think someone in Dan Ge is lining their own pockets.”
Gu Yunzhou went to the Pill Pavilion in person.
He's been taking it for so many years, he doesn't believe Jiang He would ask for resources.
Jiang He only knows how to cultivate all day long, so she doesn't care about these things.
Every time he delivered the resources to Jiang He, he would say a few words, and Jiang He would give them to him.
The sect leader and deputy sect leader would personally send Jiang He pills and magical artifacts, so Jiang He wouldn't care about such resources.
She estimated that even Hefeng didn't know how many shares it had.
He was more convinced that the elders of Dan Pavilion had embezzled his things.
