Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Brother-in-law Takes Action

Lin Shanshan saw Ji Wanyu’s expression, quickly stifled her smile, took her arm, and consoled her, "Since things are so complicated, you might as well not bother with them. We have plenty to eat and drink here and can live carefree, so why bother with what the men are doing?"

Ji Wanyu sighed, "It’s different for me. As a princess of Great Xia Country, I should consider the future of our country. With such important state affairs at hand, I’m not in the mood for playing around."

She exuded the air of a female politician deeply concerned about her country and her people.

Long Fei looked at her and said, "Alright, no more jokes. Your Highness, has this visit been to complain, or is there something you need?"

"Finally, you’re ready to talk seriously."

Ji Wanyu gave him a look and pursed her lips, "Do you still remember the martial arts competition to choose a husband for my sister?"

Long Fei slapped his forehead, "It’s over, how could I forget about that. It’s been three months, has your sister already married someone?"

Murong Chong said, "Not yet, they’ve just finished the preliminary selections, and there’s still time to catch the final competition."

Ji Wanyu said, "Speaking of which, I’m angry. Didn’t you say you were going to participate? We waited for you in the Capital City for three months, and if we hadn’t come here, would you have even left your retreat?"

Long Fei laughed and said, "From the sound of it, are you planning to marry off your sister to me?"

Lin Shanshan laughed in opposition, "I don’t agree! My sister’s not here, and I have to guard my brother-in-law to keep him on track and prevent any misbehavior."

Ji Wanyu said seriously, "Shanshan, I’m not joking. This martial arts competition is a major event. My Third Imperial Uncle and various sects have arranged for people to participate. It’s said that the outcome could even affect the succession of the throne."

"Is it that serious?"

Lin Shanshan smacked her tongue in amazement.

Ji Wanyu continued, "Of course, it’s serious. As per the rules, my Imperial Grandfather should have abdicated by now. But until now, he hasn’t stepped down, and there’s definitely a problem."

Long Fei furrowed his brows and asked, "So, you want me to take part in this matchmaking competition?"

Ji Wanyu nodded and said, "Exactly. My sect brother is set to inherit the Divine Sword Sect and can’t participate; otherwise, I would have asked him to join long ago."

Chu Feng disagreed unhappily, "Hey, Your Highness, is that how you choose a brother-in-law? You don’t pick a free and unattached guy like me but choose a man who’s already married?"

Ji Wanyu pursed her lips and said, "You have the nerve to say that. You’re so unreliable; how could I dare to trust my sister with you. I’ve heard from Shanshan that you used to be flirtatious and fell in love with every girl you saw."

Lin Shanshan quickly waved her hands and said, "Nonsense, I never said that."

She gave Chu Feng a forced smile and hastily moved to the side.

Chu Feng pointed at her and sighed at Ji Wanyu, "Ah, who would have thought I’ve been so misunderstood by the world. I’m actually a very pure man, otherwise, why would I still not have a girlfriend now?"

Ugh!

Lin Shanshan and Ji Wanyu both made gestures of disgust and giggled as they dodged to the back.

Chu Feng raised his fist at them and said, "I’ve told you, love and marriage are free choices. I’m definitely going to take part in this martial arts matchmaking competition."

"Suit yourself."

Ji Wanyu ignored him, caring only about Long Fei’s decision.

She asked Long Fei, "What about you?"

Long Fei sipped his tea and said, "Chu Feng is already willing to help you; it doesn’t make a difference which one of us goes."

Ji Wanyu anxiously said, "How can it not make a difference? I don’t like the idea of him being my brother-in-law. You have to go; the benefits of this competition are beyond your imagination. When the Royal Secret Realm is opened, you’ll have the opportunity to explore it together in search of fortune. Wouldn’t that be better?"

Long Fei almost forgot; the competition would eventually lead to entering the Royal Secret Realm.

Long Fei had never been to the Secret Realm before, and perhaps this world was a big Secret Realm in itself.

Chu Feng patted his shoulder, coaxingly said, "Don’t hesitate, Yingying is here, I’ll make excuses for you. We’re thinking of the common people of Great Xia Country, Yingying will understand you."

Long Fei glanced at Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan pursed her lips and gave a mischievous smile, "I haven’t heard or seen anything. If my sister comes, it has nothing to do with me."

Long Fei said with a laugh, "Alright, since I can’t avoid it, let’s join the fun together!"

Ji Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, watching the group beam with joy.

The Yin Yang Sect had now become standardized, no longer in need of Long Fei’s concern.

He greeted Old Man Mu and Hua Qianmo, entrusting the Yin Yang Sect to them with confidence.

Old Man Mu was happy to see Long Fei leave; as soon as the unreliable Sect Hierarch had arrived, he immediately led the Yin Yang Sect down a heretical path.

He and the Sect Leaders below had discussed and reported the newly proposed name for the sect to Long Fei.

The Yin Yang Sect would retain its name while establishing a Songshan Corporation to handle foreign affairs.

This arrangement would take both sides into consideration.

It was acceptable to Old Man Mu and the other veteran comrades, as well as the younger ones.

Long Fei agreed to their plans and told them to handle everything.

He would only guide the direction without meddling in the specifics.

After the group had left, they did not rush to Chang’an but instead visited Mystic Turtle Island.

In three months, the place had completely transformed.

Towering buildings, unlike the local architectural style, had shot up from the ground, topped off in just these few months.

The construction materials were not bricks, stones, or timber from this world but rather reinforced concrete structures.

From the start, the island’s planning was incredibly scientific.

Residential areas, schools, hospitals, agricultural and mining zones, dock areas—each region was scientifically demarcated.

The residential areas were no different from the communities in the outside world, primarily to save land.

The island was not large, so conservation was essential from the outset.

However, the exterior style of the buildings still carried an ancient charm, maintaining consistency with traditional architectural styles of this world.

Within the community, there were high-rises and villas.

Villas were allocated to executives and managers with specialized skills. Long Fei also had a suite here, numbered one.

Chu Feng resided in villa number two.

Lin Shanshan had snagged villa number three for herself.

After Ji Wanyu took a tour, she was pleasantly surprised and had Lin Shanshan reserve a suite for her as well.

The villas were beautifully situated around a lake, with boundless views of the water from the windows.

There was an outdoor swimming pool made of glass, built right over the lake.

Swimming in the pool felt just like swimming in the lake itself.

The Water Bandits, who had surrendered, originally thought they were destined for a life akin to slavery.

Little did they know, they had stepped into paradise.

The first batch of housing had already been allocated.

Of course, it wasn’t free; it was a mortgage payment plan where monthly deductions were made from salaries.

Some people, stepping into a fully furnished home for the first time, were too in awe to even step on the gleaming floor tiles.

All the building and decorating materials here were ordered uniformly from the outside world, and Lin’s Group had made a hefty profit from this deal.

However, the Mo Family and Gongsun Family had recently joined forces and made some improvements to the machinery purchased from the outside world.

As soon as Long Fei arrived, they eagerly invited him to take a look.

Lin Shanshan, dragging Ji Wanyu along, was excited to show her what interesting reactions occur when technology and cultivation were combined.
