Capítulo 1147: Chapter 1148: Trouble in Beixuan

They had never seen this situation before and were a bit stunned.

In fact, the soul crystals in Liu Rui’s storage bag were painstakingly gathered with tens of thousands of former slaves over the course of a long half-day.

He just wanted to satisfy his boss, hoping the days ahead would be much better and not as difficult.

However, his boss’s actions and words were unexpected and surprising to them.

For a moment, Liu Rui really didn’t know what decision to make. He couldn’t tell if this scholar genuinely didn’t want it, focusing on the imperial law, or if he was just politely declining.

Before Liu Rui could react, the scholar in front spoke again: “In the future, you will be under the joint management of the Huaxia Empire’s Ministry of Agriculture and Medical Department.”

“Although you are not yet true citizens of the Empire, you are members of the Empire’s Ministry of Agriculture and Medical Department. You should not be called former slaves; you are proper employees, not slaves, understand?”

These words from the scholar made the tens of thousands who were previously called slaves under Ming Chun Hall incredibly excited.

Don’t look down on this small change in title; for them, it was significant recognition and a completely different treatment from the past.

At least they weren’t being treated as slaves, and they also noticed that the scholar before them looked at them differently than those from Ming Chun Hall in the past.

Disciples from Ming Chun Hall used to look at them with disdain and contempt, completely disregarding them.

But the scholar in front of them had a gaze that was neither complex nor judgmental, just ordinary.

But it was this ordinary gaze that made them feel the taste of respect.

After carefully instructing a few things, the scholar left straightaway, leaving Liu Rui and others at the site to prepare to oversee the spiritual medicine on the Medicine Mountain.

“Manager Liu, it seems the people from the Huaxia Empire aren’t bad,” said someone at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, stepping forward.

These tens of thousands naturally needed to be divided into teams; otherwise, it would be hard to manage, and he was a captain of one of the teams.

Liu Rui redistributed the gathered soul crystals among the people, nodding to himself: “Indeed, they’re worlds apart from the people of Ming Chun Hall from before.”

“Thinking back, when disciples from Ming Chun Hall came, they were so arrogant. But the people from the Huaxia Empire have no such disdainful glances; it’s quite pleasant.”

“Let’s go, time to work. Maybe our days ahead will truly be much better.”

The group discussed among themselves as they stepped toward Medicine Mountain to tend to it as they had done before.

Not only in this place but on many stars in the Danmu Realm, such situations were common, making those who once lived under Ming Chun Hall feel flattered and overwhelmed.

As time passed, Liu Rui also came to believe that the other party truly valued imperial law and would not engage in exploitation.

During this time, although the scholar frequently came by to inspect, it was only to see the care given to Medicine Mountain.

When greeted by those in the Body Refining Realm, the scholar responded with unyielding nods and smiles, showing no disdain.

According to the scholar, they were now employees under the Huaxia Empire’s Ministry of Agriculture and Medical Department, and with diligent efforts, they might even become citizens of the Empire.

Later, Liu Rui learned what happened when he saw Sun. It turned out that after the hut was demolished, it was the Huaxia Empire’s Fire Department who built a new house for him, equipped with Spirit Gathering Arrays and some of the Empire’s new items.

The dwarves and craftsmen from the Fire Department were explaining some points to note.

In a blink, a month passed, and Liu Rui encountered an even more unexpected event: they each received soul crystals, which, according to the scholar, were called wages.

After receiving these soul crystals termed wages, they didn’t know what to say.

Previously, while tending to Medicine Mountain, they thought about how to offer up soul crystals, but now, they were actually receiving soul crystals from above. How could they not be dumbfounded?

At this moment, Liu Rui suddenly realized that the Huaxia Empire was probably really as good as the promotion manual said…

No, even better than it said, not just empty words.

The despair and resentment that once enveloped the Danmu Realm gradually vanished, replaced by vibrant and auspicious energy, as the Empire’s destiny rose and won the hearts of the people.

Even if these people were not yet true citizens of the Huaxia Empire, as long as they considered themselves citizens of the Huaxia Empire in their hearts, there would be a scene of people’s will aligning.

After the Huaxia Empire took control of the Danmu Realm, its actions won the heartfelt recognition of the Human Clan in the realm.

Throughout the year, there were also left-behind trainees from Ming Chun Hall who, having reverted to their true nature, were domineering and indulgent, only to be ruthlessly dealt with by the Empire, earning enthusiastic applause.

That year, the output of the Danmu Realm surprised Wei Ziliang.

Originally, he thought the output would be reduced by at least fifty percent. Who would have thought the output of Danmu Realm would actually double?

“The immense population and territory of the Danmu Realm are the greatest wealth, not the precious spiritual medicine and spirit wood in the Medicine Mountain and gardens. The people of the myriad worlds are truly fools for trying to improve their own power,” Lin Qian chuckled in the National War Hall, managing the overall situation, observing the reports below.

Ye Xin, accompanying him in the National War Hall, also shook her head with a smile: “But they really have no choice, after all, only you have such capability, my dear.”

Lin Qian raised an eyebrow, reaching out to pull Ye Xin closer, but his expression suddenly changed.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Lin Qian’s look, Ye Xin knew something must have happened.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t show such an expression.

Lin Qian took a deep breath, his tone turning serious: “Something is going wrong in Beixuan; there’s someone supporting the Overlord Blood Clan, and it’s an overlord-level force.”

“What?” Ye Xin was surprised, knowing about the schemes in Beixuan.

Originally thinking that solving the Overlord Blood Clan would temporarily secure the area, but unexpectedly, a person from an overlord-level force got involved.

“Should we let Wei Ziliang take action?”

“No, if he takes action, the overlord-level forces of Beixuan Heaven might band together to retaliate.” Lin Qian shook his head, thought for a while, and then decided, “No, let’s use that tool.”
