Chapter 283 Reciprocity
Sang Yunqi did not wake up Chu Xinglan. Instead, he lay on his back beside him, held him in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Chu Xinglan buried his head in Sang Yunqi's arms, and in a corner where Sang Yunqi couldn't notice, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
His arm was around Sang Yunqi's waist, and one of his long legs was placed on Sang Yunqi's legs. His whole body was wrapped around Sang Yunqi like an octopus.
Finally, he adjusted himself into a comfortable position and fell asleep completely.
……
In the next few days, the two did not do anything happy.
Chu Xinglan was busy consolidating his realm, while Sang Yunqi was in the alchemy room in the morning and in the weapon refining room in the afternoon.
Apart from chatting during meals, the two of them would just have a brief moment of intimacy before going to bed at night.
For a moment, there was a feeling of sweetness.
Three days flew by.
Early in the morning, Chu Xinglan got up from the bed, washed himself, changed into a simple robe, and tied his hair up into a ponytail with a headband.
After everything was tidy, Chu Xinglan looked in the mirror, looked at the mark between his eyebrows and his red and gold pupils, and frowned slightly.
Although he was dressed very simply, with the aura he had developed from following Sang Yunqi for a long time and his eyes that were obviously different from those of ordinary people, anyone could tell that he was not a normal person.
This was inconsistent with his original intention of going out for training. This time, they were not going to visit various sects or something like that, but were still wandering around in the circle of the cultivation world.
The master told him about their first stop before going to bed yesterday.
Three thousand miles north of Cangqiong Mountain, there is a small fishing village, which is under the jurisdiction of Cangqiong Mountain. Every year, Cangqiong Mountain allocates a portion of manpower, material resources and financial resources to solve problems for ordinary people within its jurisdiction.
This time, the reason why they chose this place as their first stop was because Cangqiong Mountain received a distress signal from the disciples in charge of the small fishing village below yesterday.
When Chen Xiu learned that he and his master were going out to gain experience, he directly handed the task to him.
Chu Xinglan was sighing at the time that Chen Xiu was indeed the material to become the head of the sect.
Over the past six months, after the initial chaos, Chen Xiu quickly sorted out the entire Cangqiong Mountain and made some targeted changes.
At the beginning, all the elders pointed at his nose and scolded him for being ungrateful to his ancestors. It was as if Chen Xiu had dug up their ancestral graves.
But Chen Xiu didn't care and used a group of young people who had just grown up to marginalize those guys who relied on their age and seniority.
It can be seen at this point that he has not been the eldest senior brother for so many years in vain.
When he raised his arm and called for help, a lot of people really responded. In Cangqiong Mountain, Chen Xiu was synonymous with reliability, and he had the ability to convince most people.
With the strong support of Xu Zhuo and the recognition of Sang Yunqi, it didn't take long for Chen Xiu to firmly sit on the throne of the head of the sect.
That’s right, he is no longer the acting leader, but the real leader of Cangqiong Mountain.
Because of his retreat, he missed the ceremony of Chen Xiu's promotion to the head of the sect, but later he heard the story told by Xiaotuanzi.
When Chen Xiu was dressed in gorgeous clothes and sat on the throne symbolizing the head of the sect, the expressions of the old men below almost lost control. They felt that Chen Xiu was a young boy and it was ridiculous for him to take on such an important responsibility at such a young age.
But Chen Xiu was steady and collected. With just a few words, he took the initiative back into his own hands, and even subtly made some subtle comments to those old guys.
The scene was wonderful. When Xiaotuanzi mentioned it to Chu Xinglan, he was very excited and kept talking and gesticulating.
Chu Xinglan was really a little regretful that he didn't see it, and only gave him a gift later.
The result was such a task, and Chen Xiu even shamelessly said that it was a matter of reciprocity and he couldn't take advantage of him.
Chu Xinglan wanted to throw the letter in his face at that moment, and then he saw Chen Xiu playing with the seal of the leader of Cangqiong Mountain seemingly unintentionally. The threat was self-evident.
"..."
Chu Xinglan glanced at Chen Xiu with disdain. He couldn't believe that the guy in front of him was the same Chen Xiu he knew before.
The look on his face was as if he was saying, "I'm in power now, and I don't want to pretend anymore."
Chu Xinglan was certainly not afraid of him. Although Chen Xiu was already in the Nascent Soul stage, his strength had increased again after he came out of seclusion. He could fight Chen Xiu to a draw before, but now he was more than capable of defeating him.
Moreover, in terms of seniority, he was far ahead of him, not to mention that he had Sang Yunqi backing him up.
However, when people live in this world, there are always some unspoken rules to abide by. If everyone gives each other some face, they can get along more harmoniously.
Just like when Xu Zhuo was still the head of the sect, his master rarely beat Xu Zhuo in front of outsiders, and whenever something happened, Xu Zhuo always took the main seat.
The same principle applies now when he faces Chen Xiu.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Chen Xiu was just joking with him. Even if he demolished Chen Xiu's house today, Chen Xiu would not punish him. This was the tacit understanding and trust that the two had developed after living together for a long time.
And the reason why Chen Xiu could pick out this one from so many tasks for him was after he learned that he was traveling with his master. Chu Xinglan guessed that there was something strange about this time.
Sure enough, after the joke, Chen corrected his expression and looked at him seriously.
"Xing Lan, although I am now sitting firmly in the position of the head, many of those old guys still don't listen to my command."
"Even if I'm forced to do things because of my status as the head of the sect, I won't do my best."
Although Chu Xinglan didn't see it with his own eyes, he could tell from the documents that Chen Xiu had filled the room with that he wasn't having an easy life either.
Even if Chen Xiu didn't say these things, he could imagine them.
There are always people who think highly of themselves, thinking that he has been an elder in Cangqiong Mountain for several times longer than Chen Xiu, so how could he be willing to listen to the orders of a junior.
To them, that would be like giving in and admitting that they are no match for a child.
Chu Xinglan has always scoffed at such ideas. Such people are not capable of accomplishing great things. He now has the capital to ignore them.
Chen Xiu began to explain the incident in the small fishing village again.
"This village is not very big, and the resources are scarce. We basically rely on fishing at sea for a living."
"Also, their village is somewhat xenophobic, so we in Cangqiong Mountain have always known about this place and usually take care of it, but if we say we know it well, we may only know it superficially."
