With Chu Xingchen's return, the sect's mainstay instantly shifted from Li Yingling to him.
Li Yingling very decisively dumped all the affairs back onto Chu Xingchen.
She had no idea how long she had been poring over those ledgers. Now, just seeing numbers gave her quite a headache.
In any case, thanks to her efforts, the sect's construction was all on track. Everything was basically finished now, and the hardest stretch was over. Surely she could leave the remaining trifles to her master and give herself a little vacation?
Chu Xingchen seemed to understand how difficult things had been for Li Yingling lately and readily took over those affairs.
He did not subcontract the job to Li Xingtian, who worked diligently and knew nothing of slacking off, nor did he dump it on the ever-dutiful Lin Luoyu.
As for Cui Hao...
Chu Xingchen did not want Cui Hao preparing any more unique surprises for him when their sect's construction had reached its final stages.
Sandong's roof was quite enough. He could do without anything else.
For now, Chu Xingchen handled everything himself. He even gave Li Xingtian time off, telling him to get some proper rest.
But that boy Li Xingtian clearly had never experienced what it meant to be idle.
After making a show of bouncing around with everyone for two days, he buried himself in his room and began cultivating hard.
His whole approach was to cultivate as though his life depended on it.
As his master, Chu Xingchen could hardly say, "Li Xingtian, you're not allowed to work this hard. Get some rest and stop cultivating," could he?
Although Chu Xingchen had taken on every aspect of the sect's construction, there was actually very little he needed to do.
It was mostly just signing his name.
