After arranging all this, Chen Zixiu suddenly asked, "Menglin, when will he be back?"
Chen Xiaojun immediately replied, "Third Great Uncle took Xiao Yi and the others to Tianshui. It's been seven or eight days already, so they should be back soon."
Chen Zixiu nodded and said, "After he returns, have him go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and take A Hong's place as Guardian Douluo."
"Xiao Xun, write a letter explaining the situation."
"At the same time, have him pacify the northern Branch Families and Separate Lineages."
He then instructed, "After A Hong returns, he will continue serving as Grand Elder and assist Xiao Xun in managing the entire clan's affairs, ensuring a smooth transition."
"At the same time, put him in charge of the Religious Affairs Department, the Literary Discipline Department, and the Clan Treasury."
"As for the post of minister of the Religious Affairs Department, let him hold it concurrently for now. As for the Literary Discipline Department, have Jinghan take charge."
In the past, affairs large and small within the clan had usually been handled and coordinated personally by Chen Hong, who served as Grand Elder.
However, as clan affairs grew increasingly complicated, establishing the Religious Affairs Department and having him concurrently oversee it, with his rich experience and prestige, was something he was well suited for.
Yu Jinghan came from the Branch Families and Separate Lineages, so having her preside over the Literary Discipline Department and shoulder the important duties of cultural inheritance and disciplinary management was undoubtedly an appropriate choice.
Her background allowed her to better understand and handle violations and breaches of discipline among the main lineage and follower families, and she had prestige as well.
Of course, Chen Hong would still be there afterward to maintain overall control.
