Chapter 424 - 424 153 The Fairy of Food and Drink Refuses an Opportunity

424: Chapter 153 The Fairy of Food and Drink Refuses an Opportunity 424: Chapter 153 The Fairy of Food and Drink Refuses an Opportunity Outside Dong’an City lies the East Lian Sea, its ten-thousand-li expanse of azure pools rippling with beautiful waves of smoke.

Music rises within Drunken Moon Tower as the Supervisory Mansion welcomes distinguished guests.

Let’s not mention Li Ping’an waiting in Drunken Moon Tower for now; Sun Yingying had already arranged a banquet with songs and dances, yet she was the only one who was late to show up, making Li Ping’an wait quite some time.

Now, about that trio comprising the old steward, the noble son, and the attendant student, they had already taken a tour around the Supervisory Office.

“Young Master, look, this official residence is really quite impressive.”

The ‘old steward,’ a member of the Xuanyuan clan, clicked his tongue in wonder, immediately recognizing the greatest utility of the Supervisory Office.

He said,

“With this place established, the city falls directly under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Dynasty’s alliance rather than a sect’s control.

Within a certain perimeter outside the city, feuds among loose cultivators vanish without a trace, and the common people within the city gain some assurance for their lives.

“Indeed, it’s not bad.

“The boroughs we visited are mostly controlled by major sects.

It’s not to say there’s no order whatsoever, but good and bad are mixed, virtue and vice aren’t distinct.

The sects care only about the harvest of spirit stones, and only a minority of them would issue some rules to protect the common folk.

“If this model were to spread, the East Continent could establish order in a hundred years.

“Young Master, what do you think?”

The ‘arrogant young master’ Fenghou slowly nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on his lips.

Of course, ordinary people couldn’t possibly overhear their conversation.

Fenghou gestured towards a group of more than a dozen patrol guards wearing black uniforms with patchwork passing by, laughing as he said,

“Steward, take a look, each of them is surrounded by a Liuying Baoyu.

I glanced at most of the patrolling guards around, and the majority are equipped with such Liuying Pearls, their actions all recorded.

“This indeed could persuade the common folk and loose cultivators somewhat more.”

“Dali, was this idea also proposed by the person who drafted the new policies?”

“Indeed!”

The ‘attendant student’ could only respond with his tender voice:

“Inside the Supervisory Office, those who go out to enforce the law must be equipped with Liuying Pearls.

“Before leaving, the previous recordings in the Liuying Pearls need to be cleared, and upon returning, the details of the law enforcement need to be written down in text, noting the place and actions taken, serving as case records, and stored in the underground archives.

“For serious offenses like murder, arson, or collusion with demons, the Liuying Pearls must also be stored along with the case records, and there are storage durations in place, with a large number of Storage Treasures equipped in the archives.

“Although this process is somewhat cumbersome, it can prevent wrongful, false, or mistaken cases and make those who enforce the law be more mindful, not acting recklessly or using their power to oppress others.”

Fenghou again said, “I see there are two steles here, and the laws written on them are several times more detailed than the ancient military laws used by the alliance.

You didn’t just waste your time; you’ve actually accomplished some things.”

This was obviously Fenghou speaking well of the Immortal Dynasty in front of the Yellow Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the ‘attendant student’ Tianli, who was roused by his sincere soul, immediately said,

“We dare not take credit; these laws are also a part of the new policies, specifically drafted by the person in charge of the new policies according to the situations in the East Continent’s boroughs.

“In these laws, it emphasizes the value of human life.

Murderers face death, those who injure others face punishment, while deliberately ignoring the disparity between cultivators and common people.

“I even argued with that person at the time, asking how could the lives of cultivators, who can become celestial soldiers and are the supporting force for the Human Race, be considered less valuable than those of common people?

“Guess what that person answered?”

With a smile, the Yellow Emperor said, “Not bad, Dali.

You’ve even learned to tease people.”

The ‘attendant student’ was about to kneel down in haste but was casually pulled up by the ‘arrogant young master.’

Tianli hurriedly said,

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

It’s just that I’ve been so used to being the Vice Alliance Hierarch that I couldn’t immediately change my way of speaking.

“That person said, ‘There’s essentially no difference between common people and cultivators; they just have different innate talents.

Dwelling between heaven and earth, all they do is borrow the vital energy of heaven and earth to sustain themselves, so what’s the difference?

“The higher a Qi Cultivator’s cultivation, the harder it is to have offspring, while common people beget and give life even without cultivation talents.

Yet, they can bear children with the potential to cultivate.

“The major sects in the middle regions of the East Continent control more of the Immortal Dynasty’s territories, thus finding more Immortal Sprouts, providing a continuous supply of new blood to the sects and keeping them powerful.

“Actually, the situation in the East Continent has already proven that common people are the foundation of the Human Race.

From the perspective of the entire Human Race, only if there are enough common people continuing to reproduce normally, can we continuously generate more celestial soldiers.”

The Yellow Emperor and Fenghou exchanged glances, the former stroking his beard and humming softly, the latter nodding slightly.

“Let’s go,” said the Yellow Emperor, “let’s visit the mediation office over there; it seems quite lively…

This design is also very clever.

With the main office at the center and the other four offices arranged on all sides.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Young Master, please lead the way.”

The ‘arrogant young master’ patted the ‘attendant student’ on the shoulder and proceeded calmly, hands behind his back.

The ‘old steward’ placed a hand on the ‘attendant student’s’ shoulder, pinched it with a smile, and followed from behind.

The student, Tianli, was completely befuddled.

Wait, what does this mean?

He had praised them so much, so why didn’t they ask who the person behind the new policies was?

Tianli felt utterly confused, as if his mind was about to melt.

An hour later.

The noble son, the old steward, and the attendant student left the Supervisory Office of Dong’an City and randomly chose a grand-looking restaurant, asking for a top-floor seat.

Upon reaching the top floor, the ‘attendant student’ Tianli, who saw the white-clothed fairy by the window resting her chin on her hands and gazing out in a daze, was spiritually shaken.

Isn’t that Ping’an’s master?

As the disciple has never strayed far from her, could it be that Ping’an has already arrived in Dong’an City?

Then why hasn’t he been encountered earlier?

‘If there’s a chance for Ping’an to have a coincidental meeting with His Majesty and then offer some strategies…

wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing?’
