Chapter 2415
She Manhuang reported, "The buildings under my supervision are two-thirds complete. If we speed up, we can finish in about a month. The disciples can then move in."
Zhuge Hongwen nodded. "Finish all structures as soon as possible. This allows the Sect Master to set up the mountain protection array. We won’t have to worry about others discovering us."
She looked at Honglian. "Deputy Sect Master, how is the overall progress?"
"The progress is similar across the board, mostly two-thirds done. It should take about a month to finish. But what do we do with the construction workers after that?" Honglian asked.
Zhuge Hongwen explained, "The Sect Master has prepared Forget-Sorrow Pills. You will dissolve them in their food. They will fall asleep, and we will escort them away. When they wake up outside, they will forget everything that happened here."
"The Sect Master is so thoughtful." Honglian paused, then added, "By the way, where is the Sect Master? Why didn’t she join our discussion?"
Gui Fu sighed. "Our Sect Master. She delegates everything she can. Fortunately, we have Strategist Zhuge. Otherwise, I don’t know how the Azure Sovereign Sect would have been established."
Zhuge Hongwen smiled lightly. "The Sect Master is not skilled in these matters, which is why we are needed. But we cannot deny that without her, we would not have today."
"That is true," Luo Ji said. "Although life is busy now, I am happy."
"I am too," Shen Jinsong agreed from the side.
"By the way, Jinsong, you were tasked with gathering news from outside, especially regarding us. Do you have any updates?" Zhuge Hongwen asked.
Shen Jinsong replied, "Because of the Sect Master’s illusion array, no one has discovered our location. However, Hai Tao’s adoption of so many orphans alerted the five major regions. They sent people to investigate. Fortunately, since we are in the Immortal Realm, they do not fear evil plots. They are merely curious about our intentions. Since Hai Tao has not appeared, they are only keeping watch."
Zhuge Hongwen said, "Hai Tao should not go out for a few days to avoid being recognized."
Si Haitao nodded. "Understood. I will stay inside."
Zhuge Hongwen continued, "Furthermore, five thousand children are sufficient for now. After completing the sect’s construction, we must educate them. The Sect Master’s intervention has fundamentally changed their talent. We must not waste this potential. At the least, they must learn valuable knowledge."
"Yes," everyone agreed with Zhuge Hongwen’s words.
While Zhuge Hongwen and the others discussed matters, Zhu Yanyi returned to the Underworld.
"You are finished with your tasks for now?" Yan Aohan knew Zhu Yanyi’s return meant her work was paused. Otherwise, she would not have come back.
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "Yes, I am done." She walked to Yan Aohan’s side and watched him guide the baby’s energy flow. For some reason, she never tired of watching him.
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhu Yanyi and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I never get tired of it," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I don’t know why, but I just enjoy looking at you."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan smiled helplessly. "Tired or not, it doesn’t matter. We have a heavenly oath."
"It has nothing to do with the oath," Zhu Yanyi said. "I just feel that looking at you never gets boring."
Yan Aohan listened and said, "You are so sweet with your words today. Tell me, did you cause trouble?"
Zhu Yanyi made a funny face at Yan Aohan. "You underestimate me. Am I the type to cause trouble?"
"You don’t seem like it," Yan Aohan said. "Then why are you so sweet today? What is your purpose?"
"No purpose," Zhu Yanyi said, resting her chin on her hand. "I just missed you."
Yan Aohan smiled helplessly. After finishing guiding the baby’s energy and putting him to sleep, he said, "The baby is still here. As his mother, you speak sweet words in front of him. Be careful he doesn’t learn from you."
The baby was now over one year old. Due to Yan Aohan’s guidance, his body was different from ordinary humans. He could cultivate automatically. Although still young, his ability to imitate was exceptionally strong.
"Did Zhan Diting get scared away by the baby’s strong imitation skills?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Zhan Diting had no good example himself. He is an elephant but tried to howl like a wolf. The baby imitated him and howled at him every day. Afraid I would punish him, Zhan Diting slipped away," Yan Aohan said with a helpless smile.
Zhu Yanyi laughed heartily. "The baby is over a year old, but the little tadpole in my belly is still the same."
"Are you tired?" Although Zhu Yanyi looked no different from ordinary people, Yan Aohan was still concerned because she was pregnant.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "It’s fine. I am doing well. But recently, I realized I am going to be a teacher, and I feel a bit panicked."
"Panicked?" Yan Aohan knew Zhu Yanyi was not afraid of difficulties. "Why would you feel panicked? Besides, you have been a teacher before." The Aoyan Traditional Chinese Medicine School in the mortal realm still existed.
"I couldn’t help myself," Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I healed all the disabled children Si Haitao brought. Now, we have five thousand geniuses. These children need to be taught. I am responsible for medicine, pills, and cultivation. These three areas are too vast. Thinking of my heavy responsibility, I feel a bit panicked."
Yan Aohan was surprised at first, then laughed. "Do you remember Ouyang Tianyun and Sikong Xuran?"
"Yes, the two senior brothers from the Sage Academy. What about them?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Ouyang Tianyun will ascend in ten days, and Sikong Xuran in three months. They can help you," Yan Aohan said. "I will ask the Immortal Emperor to arrange their ascension to a specific platform. You just need to go and receive them."
Zhu Yanyi’s eyes lit up. "The Immortal Emperor will agree to let me take Ouyang Tianyun?"
"It doesn’t matter if he disagrees. Ouyang Tianyun is at most his disciple, not his son. He cannot be trapped in the Immortal Palace forever. He must travel in the Immortal Realm. Following you is better than being a wandering immortal," Yan Aohan said, unconcerned about Ouyang Mingyue’s opposition.
