Chapter 515: Letter From Bai Xun
After the toast, Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.
They were now dressed in fine silk, with accessories like gold necklaces, jade bracelets and exquisite hairpins on them.
A huge difference from how they were when they joined the mansion.
And when he glanced at the bellies of Xue Cong and Yue Xin, a sense of accomplishment and joy came rushing into him.
What more could a man ask for?
Perhaps maybe also getting Yue Jie and Liu Shi Shi pregnant so that they wouldn’t feel a sense of guilt for not being able to do so.
He thought and decided that maybe he should also focus on that for the new year, while he enjoyed the dinner.
Although Yue Jie and Liu Shi Shi didn’t say anything to him, he knew that it was impossible for them to not think about it.
And after the dinner, he spent the night chatting with them before they went to bed.
...
For the next few days, he spent his time in the mansion with Xue Cong and the others.
He cultivated during the day and dual cultivated with them in the night.
It helped for Xue Cong and the others.
Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Liu Shi Shi were now at Qi Concentration Level Refined Stage.
While Yue Xin lagged behind at Qi Concentration Level Mid Stage.
But he wasn’t too worried as she wasn’t too far off.
And at the moment, he would rather Xue Cong and Yue Xin be focused on their pregnancy.
Zhi Yong and Lee He Song also didn’t let up.
They ascended successfully to the next Level at Foundation Establishment Level Initial Stage.
As for him, he was now at Foundation Establishment Level Mid Stage.
And with Zhi Yong and Lee He Song both at the same level as he was, the need for the Five-Element Foundation Establishment pills was now increased by three times.
Thankfully he had enough money for that now and that was what he did, getting more of the Spirit Herbs from Lu Ting.
He spent a hundred taels of gold on it and he was left with seven hundred and twenty taels of gold.
Soon, the Spring Festival was over and he continued to be busy with settling the properties for the remaining fifteen franchisees.
It went smoothly this time with the property owners back from the Spring Festival and he was able to purchase the properties at around ten taels of gold each, bringing the amount of his money to five hundred and seventy.
The money would be more than sufficient for the daily operations of the mansion, getting raw materials and also paying for the allowance of the workers.
With his businesses now set up and running, the Lin Clan was now finally at the stage of accumulating wealth.
Lin Xuan Qi might not have felt it clearly, but it was considered a feat by others, considering how short a time he was able to get to this stage for his clan.
The days then went as usual for him with him checking on the factories and retail stores, until one day when the guards had something for him.
"Master Lin, there’s a message for you." One of the guards came into the main hall and handed an envelope to him.
"Thanks." Lin Xuan Qi said and opened up the envelope.
It was what he had been waiting for after so long.
Bai Xun had finally written back on the status in Gui Feng City.
And it was good news for him.
The shops were scouted and the owners were willing to sell.
All that was required was for Lin Xuan Qi to go and pay for the properties.
But that was not all that he had planned to do in Gui Feng City.
It was time for him to try and set up his own sect starting from there.
He wasn’t sure if he could succeed but he was willing to give it a try.
"You will be leaving again?" Xue Cong frowned when he told her of his intention.
She knew that he had plans to expand to Gui Feng City for a very long time but it had slipped out of her mind after so long.
Yue Jie and Yue Xin were also reluctant to see him go away.
"What about the spring outing?" Liu Shi Shi asked and hoped that it would be able to change his mind.
But Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "The weather is still cold for an outing.
"It would be two months till March where it would be warmer.
"So it’s the best time for me to get things settled over in Gui Feng City.
"Don’t worry, it’s not the first time I’m doing so and I would be back very soon."
He explained his rationale and they nodded their heads at him.
Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Lee He Song next and thought for a moment.
It might not be required to bring Lee He Song along.
He could task Lee He Song to go to Bian Jing and take care of the retail shop’s expansion instead.
With Lee He Song’s help, he would then be able to be more productive without him running around by himself.
Lin Xuan Qi knew that it was also time for him to get more trusted people to manage the businesses for him but he hadn’t got the time to deal with it.
And so, seeking help from Lee He Song was the next best thing for the time being.
"Master Lee, I need you to go to Bian Jing and help with the expansion of the retail stores over there." Lin Xuan Qi said and Lee He Song was surprised by it.
"Me? Guess I’ll get to enjoy the flowers blooming in Bian Jing for this year." Lee He Song said with a chuckle.
He had expected to go to Gui Feng City with Lin Xuan Qi but if Lin Xuan Qi insisted, he was willing to accomplish the task for him.
"Master Lin, me strong, me go with you." Zhi Yong raised his hand and was happy to volunteer to go to Gui Feng with Lin Xuan Qi.
But Lin Xuan Qi decided against it.
"I need you to be in the mansion and protect everyone."
He would rather Zhi Yong stay in the mansion to protect Xue Cong and the others just in case.
Liu Shi Shi could help but he didn’t feel safe enough with only her around.
