But now, with more and more outsiders moving into Xiushui Village, Village Chief Du knows that if he continues to suppress it, he will miss the opportunity and hand it over to someone else.

He had originally planned to start preparing after the New Year.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao came looking for him at this moment.

Hearing what Village Chief Du, Lin Xiao knew that he might already have this idea in mind, so he began to discuss it with Village Chief Du one by one.

"Village chief, given the current daily flow of people to our village, I think we should definitely start opening some restaurants and inns now. Although the food at the restaurants certainly won't be as good as Lingxian Dining Seat, it will still be a place for other tourists to have something to eat."

"Second Uncle Hu from our village is a very skilled cook and a very nice person. We can ask him if he's willing. If he is, our sect can fund the construction of a restaurant and then hire him to cook."

I heard that Second Uncle Hu's ancestors were chefs, although the tradition seems to have ended, but his family has always been run by men who cook, and the aroma wafting from his house is always the most fragrant at mealtimes.

Village Chief Du was somewhat surprised to hear that Lin Xiao and his group were willing to contribute funds, but he didn't say much. Instead, he nodded happily and said:

"With you all in charge, that's great. I think this will work. I'll go talk to Hu Xiao'er tomorrow."

If the Lingxian Sect were to take charge, the villagers wouldn't dare to have any unreasonable opinions. Nowadays, in Xiushui Village, the Lingxian Sect is sometimes more effective than the village chief himself.

Often, when faced with enormous resistance, he needed to work with the clan elders to employ a combination of persuasion and pressure.

But now that the Lingxian Sect is around, the villagers will be intimidated without any effort being put into their lives.

Although they felt that Lin Xiao and the others hadn't changed much after the ancestral worship ceremony, the natural difference between immortals was undeniable. Even if they didn't say it, everyone felt a sense of awe.

Because everyone knows that these immortals on the mountain, no matter what they appear to be, essentially possess the ability to kill them with a wave of their sleeves.

This can be seen from the fact that after the bandits attacked Xiushui Village, the forest on the North Mountain was burned black.

Although the villagers were asleep on Heart-Questioning Road at the time, they were not stupid when they woke up.

The forest in North Mountain that had been burned down recovered visibly in no time, and within a few days, a large number of new shoots sprouted on the scorched earth in the cold winter.

Even the remaining wooden stakes, burned by the fire, have sprouted many green branches.

All these strange occurrences made the villagers truly feel that they were now living next to a celestial sect.

Therefore, Village Chief Du could foresee that as long as he told the villagers that this was what Lingxian Sect wanted to do, they would not dare to resist and would even wholeheartedly agree.

Then Lin Xiao brought up the issues concerning the inn and some goods trading companies.

We discussed all the preliminary projects we planned with the village chief, including the approximate number of people needed, the land required, and the selection of suitable personnel from each household.

After the initial decision was made, the village chief went to communicate with the villagers who were interested in the key positions.

Then the two of them took Dou'er out and went to look at several suitable places to open a shop.

With Lin Xiao using his Spiritual Power to carry Village Chief Du along, Village Chief Du felt as if he were floating out and floating back.

After the two inspected the location and found nothing wrong with it, Lin Xiao finalized the location with the village chief and gave him the money to process the land deed.

Although Xiushui Village is very popular in the Ten-Li area, the land price is set by the imperial court, and residential land is not expensive. Buying these plots of land will not cost more than a few taels of silver, and Lin Xiao has more than enough money.

After returning home, Village Chief Du began writing down the scope of his purchase, and then prepared to go to the county early the next morning to obtain the land deed.

After discussing these matters, Lin Xiao returned to the mountain and had Liu Yunan write them down.

On the other end.

Lingxiao Escort Agency in Songyang County.

The people at the escort agency were somewhat surprised to see Qin Jianghe return with two women.

After he introduced the two women as his mother and aunt, she suddenly realized what was going on, but she was also a little surprised, wondering why their boss had brought his two aunts along.

But then they thought again, their leader was a villager, perhaps he was just being filial, and since the villagers were also seeking refuge, they decided to bring him over to help out in the backyard.

Only Gu Yuxiao and his two cousins, Fang Mancang Fang Mancang Fang Manliang, knew that these two aunts, like Jianghe, came from their Lingxian Sect!

Although they had joined the Lingxian Sect long ago, they had never properly returned to the sect. After the three of them hosted a welcome dinner for Mother Qin and Tietou's Mother, they kept circling around them, asking about all sorts of things in the sect.

Unfortunately, Qin Jianghe is usually very busy and doesn't have much time to chat with them.

Moreover, Qin Jianghe usually stayed in Songyang County like them, rarely returning to the sect, so he didn't have much to say.

What they didn't know was that almost every time Liu Yunan used Location Sound Transmission Talisman on Qin Jianghe, he would use up the entire duration of an incense stick to tell Qin Jianghe every detail of what had happened in the sect recently.

So although Qin Jianghe was not physically present in the sect, he knew a great deal about many things within it, if not everything, and was practically as if he were actually there.

He simply didn't tell the three of them because he was busy and didn't have the habit of chatting with people.

When Mother Qin saw Gu Yuxiao, even though she was dressed as a man, she could tell at a glance that she was a girl.

Looking at Gu Yuxiao's lively and beautiful features, she liked her from the bottom of her heart.

The same goes for Tietou's Mother.

Seeing her curiosity about the sect, the two of them kindly took her hands and sat her down, telling her little by little about everything they remembered about the sect.

Thanks to Gu Yuxiao, the two young men, Fang Mancang Fang Manliang, were able to hear about the interesting stories of their Lingxian Sect.

During the conversation, Mother Qin also learned about Gu Yuxiao's background.

Hearing them recount how Gu Yuxiao's father entrusted his son to take care of his daughter, Mother Qin sighed at the hardships of the world and felt even more pity for Gu Yuxiao.

Qin Jianghe went to the kitchen, took out the food that Jiang Youfu had brought back for him from the Storage Bag, and heated it up on the stove.

The people chatting in the main room smelled the aroma, and their stomachs immediately rumbled.

Even the bodyguards on duty at the front almost forgot the rules of the escort agency and rushed into the backyard because of the aroma.
