The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 364, Insatiable Greed

Joining the Xuanyuan Mansion and becoming a member of it was something no one in the Hua family had ever imagined.

The Hua family had heard a great deal about the important position of the Xuanyuan Mansion during the three years they lived there.

Xuanyuan City is the central city of the Central Continent, and Xuanyuan Prefecture is to the Central Continent what the former imperial city was to the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

The royal family and powerful figures wanted to place people into the Xuanyuan Mansion, but all their attempts were rejected.

In short, the Hua family had only a general impression of the Xuanyuan Mansion: it was a place comparable to an imperial palace, and extremely difficult to enter.

But now, Jiu Niang tells them that their whole family now belongs to the Xuanyuan Mansion!

The entire Hua family was both surprised and delighted by this arrangement.

Hua Dalang and Hua Liulang were mostly relieved. With their family joining the Xuanyuan Mansion, they would receive its protection. Development was secondary; the most important thing was that in chaotic times, having a powerful force as a backer would ensure their personal safety. This was much better than the Hua family struggling to survive on their own.

Compared to the Hua family's surprise, Lord Hua and Prince Hua were deeply shocked by Hua Changxi's power.

Hua Changxi's power far exceeded their imagination.

The Hua family, totaling about twenty people, had more than half without spiritual roots, only capable of body cultivation. Their talents and aptitudes were truly not good, yet they were all assigned to the Xuanyuan Mansion.

This power is even greater than that of royalty!

After the Xuanyuan Mansion was discovered, both the royal family and powerful noble families tried to place people in it using all sorts of methods. Unfortunately, the five generals of Xuanyuan were strict in their discipline and did not accept a single person who did not meet the requirements.

However, the Xuanyuan family accepted the Hua family.

What does this mean?
Master Hua and Young Master Hua exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing surprise.

This shows that in the eyes of the Five Generals of Xuanyuan, Hua Changxi's value has already surpassed that of the royal family and the major powerful and noble families!

Lord Hua calmed himself down first and smiled as he congratulated Old Master Hua: "Brother Bin, congratulations on joining the Xuanyuan Mansion. From now on, the entire family and clan will rely on your guidance and care."

Grandpa Hua first made a few modest remarks, and then stated that clansmen should naturally support each other.

From the attitudes of Lord Hua and Prince Hua, Second Uncle Hua was certain that the Xuanyuan Mansion was an excellent place to go. Overjoyed, he said to Hua Changxi, "Ninth Sister, our family has finally benefited from your kindness."

"Shut up."

This time, it was Old Madam Hua who scolded Second Uncle Hua. Old Madam Hua held the list and walked towards Hua Changxi: "Ninth Sister, why is there only your Third Aunt on this list? Why aren't your Third Uncle and several cousins ​​on it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Hua Changxi looked at Grandma Hua and said, "My abilities are limited, and I can only take care of my family. Grandmother, if you want to take care of your third uncle and cousin, the most reliable way is for you to work hard to cultivate yourself."

"But."

Grandpa Hua pulled Grandma Hua aside, stopping his wife from continuing.

The fact that Ninth Sister still considers the third sister as part of the Hua family shows that she hasn't forgotten her aunt.

If we include the third son-in-law and his children, shouldn't we also include the wife's family? Should we also include the husbands and children of the married second and fifth wives?
Grandpa Hua looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Ninth Sister, your grandmother is old and has many people she worries about. Don't hold it against her."

Hua Changxi: "I didn't take it to heart. It's my grandmother's business if she has someone she cares about. It has nothing to do with me."

Although the logic was sound, Old Master Hua still felt that his granddaughter's words were too unpleasant to hear, especially since they were spoken in front of the Earl and the Heir Apparent, showing no respect for him and his wife whatsoever.

Grandpa Hua sighed inwardly and pulled Grandma Hua back to their original seats.

Now the entire Hua family relies on Ninth Sister's support, and can only prioritize her. After Old Madam Hua mentioned Third Sister Hua, the second and fourth branches of the Hua family remembered Second Sister and Fifth Sister, who had married out.

Fortunately, the list of those who entered the Xuanyuan Mansion included the Second Sister and the Fifth Sister, but their children and husbands were not on it.

Aunt Hua the Second and Aunt Hua the Fourth exchanged a glance. They both wanted to try to persuade their daughters to get married, but they also knew that since Ninth Sister had already rejected the old lady, she definitely wouldn't pay any attention to them.

Hua Minghe and Yao noticed the expressions on their family members' faces and glanced at the list. They were delighted to find that Hua Changxi had also added Hua Dalang's fiancée to the list.

The marriage with the Sheng family was originally a step up for them, but now that they have the qualifications to enter the Xuanyuan Mansion, the eldest son no longer needs to be inferior to the Sheng family's daughter.

Uncle Hua was also craning his neck to look at the list, and soon he shouted, "Ninth Sister, Eldest Brother is in the Demon Suppression Army, Third Brother is in Danyuan Peak, and Sixth Brother is in the Weapon Saint Palace. Why did you add all three of them?"

When Hua Changxi was drafting the list, she included everyone in the Hua family except herself and Hua Shiniang: "I'm not afraid you'll say that I only thought of one person and not the other."

Seeing that Uncle Hua was bringing up the three brothers' spots, Hua Changxi didn't want to hear them argue about it, so she directly said to Hua Dalang and Hua Liulang: "Big brother, sixth brother, whether you want to join the Xuanyuan Mansion or not, it's up to you."

As he spoke, he looked at Old Master Hua and the others.

"When to report to the Xuanyuan Mansion is up to you, Grandfather. My opinion is that the sooner the better."

Hua Changxi stood up: "I have an appointment with the Duke of Liang to meet at Danyuan Peak tomorrow. I need to go back to the Department of Medicine." She paused, "Once you've made your decision, let me know and I'll take you to the Xuanyuan Mansion."

Upon hearing that Hua Changxi was about to leave, the Hua family and Hua Boye and his son became anxious.

Hua Minghe quickly asked, "Is it in such a hurry? Can the matter with the Duke of Liang's mansion be resolved?"

Hua Changxi sneered: "Father, you don't need to worry about the Duke of Liang's mansion. If we're really going to investigate, it's the Duke of Liang's mansion that's afraid of me."

Looking at her daughter, whose eyes and brows were full of arrogance, Yao's eyelids twitched. She quickly walked over and took Hua Changxi's hand: "Ninth Sister, the Duke of Liang's mansion did not really hurt any of our family members."

"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Promise me that if you can resolve things peacefully, you shouldn't cause any more trouble."

Hua Changxi looked at her worried mother and nodded, saying, "Mother, I know what I'm doing."

Hua Shizi quickly said, "Ninth Sister, you haven't seen your family for three years. Why don't you stay at the Earl's residence for dinner before you leave?"

Hua Changxi looked at Lord Hua and Prince Hua, the father and son, one with three spiritual roots and the other with four spiritual roots, neither of them had good aptitude. After pondering for a moment, he took out a Taiyin Stone and placed it between his eyebrows. Soon, the first four chapters of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique were imprinted on his forehead.

Immediately, Hua Changxi handed the Taiyin Stone to Lord Hua.

"These are the first four chapters of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. Lord, please see if there are any promising young talents in the clan suitable for body cultivation."

"I have set restrictions in the cultivation technique, so it can only be practiced by members of the Hua clan and is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders."

Master Hua excitedly accepted the Taiyin Stone and solemnly said, "Don't worry, Ninth Sister, I know how valuable a good cultivation technique is, and I will definitely not pass it on to outsiders."

Hua Changxi glanced at his parents, who were in good spirits, and then took out a storage bag filled with first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade fire spirit mushrooms, handing it to Lord Hua.

"Lord, you still need to supervise your clansmen more often. Without strength, you are not fit to be of great use."

When Master Hua heard this, his eyes flickered.

Without strength, one is useless; but if one has strength, can one be used by her?

Hua Changxi wasn't looking at Hua Boye and his son, but rather at Yao Shi and Hua Minghe. He gave each of them a storage bag containing first- to fourth-grade Fire Spirit Mushrooms.

"I haven't been back to Danyuan Peak for three years. I need to go back and take a look first. I'll come to see you all when I have time."
