Travel Permits

Then he gradually accepted his father's behavior.

He always remembered what his teacher had said to him back then:

"No one in this world is perfect, and everyone's vision and pursuits are different. As long as it doesn't affect others, what does it matter how he acts?"

"As long as your father isn't a corrupt official, an incompetent person who holds a position without doing his job, or someone who harms others, then whatever he likes and how he does it is his life."

"Most people tend to demand more of others than of themselves. But in reality, Yuejun, your father doesn't impose many restrictions on you. If you just take a step back and learn to deal with his demands more tactfully, you can live a comfortable life according to your own wishes."

"To live is to learn to find light for yourself, not to build an abyss."

Only after that did he completely let go of his feelings towards his father and learn how to get along with him.

Regarding his son's change, Wen Keming, who had never paid attention to anything except his superiors' preferences and the political climate, simply thought that his son's rebellious phase had passed and he had grown up and become sensible.

No one knows that all his changes and growth began last year when he embarked on the Heart-Questioning Road into the Lingxian Sect.

Only he himself knows the truth.

So, he came.

He hopes that this place, a place that allows him to clarify his inner thoughts, can become a new starting point in his life.

Because the private school recruited students to teach children who were only a teenager, the academic requirements for the teachers were not outrageously high. For someone like Wen Yuejun, a member of a well-established Lineage and a diligent student, passing the cultural interview was not difficult.

Having Heart-Questioning Road before, and now with an even clearer mind, he successfully passed it again, despite the increased Heart-Questioning Road.

Thus, Lingxian Sect Sect's private school finally succeeded in recruiting two new teachers.

With the addition of these two, although the private school has not yet started to expand its enrollment, it has freed up Sun Yigao a lot.

With the teaching of the two new tutors sharing the workload, he finally gained more time to cultivate, and the sect's Alchemy Chamber has recently seen a significant increase in output.

Seeing this, Liao Pantu urged Lin Xiao every few days to quickly recruit more teachers for the private school.

When the other members of the sect learned that the private school was going to expand its enrollment, they all acted very quickly to start construction and expansion of the private school at the foot of the mountain.

After gaining cultivation, everyone's practical skills improved significantly, and the expansion of the private school was completed in just a few days.

Without disrupting normal classes, the group cleared away the side walls of the courtyard and added more space along the Mountain Stream and foot of the mountain.

Of course, Liu Yunan had already paid the village chief and designated the land for these additional areas.

Then, several rows of large classrooms, a private school kitchen, and a teacher's rest room were added to both the left and right sides.

The teacher's rest room was fully equipped. Although it was not large, it had a study and a bedroom. The private school also provided meals. If a teacher lived far away, he could stay here.

Under Yang Jinshu's guidance, the courtyard was also well-decorated, planted with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, which are the favorites of scholars, and a rockery and pavilion were also built for students to use during their leisure time.

They even cleared out a flat area in a forest further inland for them to practice riding and archery on a daily basis.

in this way.

Just as Lingxian Sect was busy with the private school, Qin Jianghe, who had received Liu Yunan's letter, finally returned.

At the same time, they also brought back a letter from the imperial court.

"In the past, our country would issue a certain number of cultivation permits to the three major sects every year to facilitate their movement between different regions within the country. Now that our Lingxian Sect has emerged, the imperial court has asked us how many we need this year."

At the dinner table, Qin Jianghe, who was constantly eating with his chopsticks, said this to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao said:

"That's your decision. By the way, why didn't you bring your apprentices back?"

Gu Yuxiao and Qin Jianghe's two cousins both formally joined the Lingxian Sect after becoming his disciples.

Upon hearing him mention this, Qin Jianghe sighed and said:

"There's no other way. Brother Mancang has to stay and oversee the escort agency. I've returned from the capital, Brother Manliang and Yuxiao have to stay behind. I heard that several countries are about to officially go to war with Huanyou Nation. It's a critical moment right now, and I was afraid of missing any important news, so I didn't send anyone back with me."

Upon hearing the news of the impending war, everyone present felt it was all too real.

Because there was absolutely no sense of tension about an impending war spreading through the village.

Qin Jianghe's father asked:

"Is our country going to war? Why doesn't anyone in the village feel it? We haven't heard anything about recruiting."

Qin Jianghe then began to explain:

"Father, this isn't an ordinary war; it's a war between cultivators. The mortal army is just for show. The main force consists of cultivators from the three major sects, as well as cultivators from other surrounding countries."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table was surprised.

"Cultivators fighting? Won't that come back to haunt us?"

Because of their long-standing negative impression of war and conscription, the people of Xiushui Village instinctively resisted the idea. A group of people, young and old, all looked at Lin Xiao, their eyes filled with undisguised resistance and worry.

Lin Xiao immediately smiled and reassured everyone:

"Elders, don't worry. We've already reached an agreement not to recruit anyone from our sect. Our sect will just provide low-priced supplies, like the talismans, arrays, and pills we usually make."

However, after dinner, Lin Xiao, having appeased the elders, sat alone under the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree, his heart sinking as he thought of the war that was about to break out in Huanyou Nation.

"War..."

Although he had never experienced it firsthand.

But the history books of the previous life recorded too much bloodshed and tragedy.

Although he knew that the existence of things like the Execution Stone was bound to be a scourge to people and cultivators, and that countries and organizations that promoted such things should be resolutely resisted and eradicated.

However, the outbreak of a large-scale war inevitably brings with it innocent sacrifices.

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, so he went to Qin Jianghe and asked:

"Jianghe, do you know roughly when they've set the start of the war?"

When he asked about this, Qin Jianghe replied:

"The exact time is unclear; only those on the front lines know. However, their requirement is for the supplies to arrive in the capital by the end of this month. Considering the time it takes to transport the supplies to the front lines afterward, I estimate it will be around the end of next month."

He came back not only to attend the second sect conference, but also to pick up goods to take to the capital.

After receiving the reply, Lin Xiao nodded but remained silent, lost in thought.
