“`
He glanced at those beside him, all with their heads lowered, silent and unresponsive.
Constantly dealing with the government affairs at hand.
It seemed they had completely failed to hear those words, the members of the think tank.
Afterward, Luo Ping shifted his gaze
to Luo Yao beside him.
He smiled and said in a soft voice, “This matter will be your responsibility. I only want an outcome that satisfies me. Whether you delegate this task to those in the think tank during this period has nothing to do with me. All I need is a result.”
Having said this, Luo Ping was quite pleased as he withdrew his gaze.
Then, he silently bowed his head,
slowly sipping the tea in his hand while quietly browsing through the stack of government affairs documents that had yet to be reviewed.
“Sigh…”
Seeing that the matter had been decided and could not be changed, Luo Yao couldn’t help but let out a light sigh of frustration.

He had been rather leisurely of late.
But as soon as the Family Head, Luo Ping, had dumped this matter on him,
it seemed that for the following period,
he would find himself in a rather busy state.
“Qingshi City’s population is nearing its limit, is it?”
“Only a result is needed, right?”
Luo Yao thought to himself in silence.
Afterward, he returned to his seat.
At the same time, he looked up at those who had been pretending to concentrate on their government affairs with heads bowed all along—the members of the think tank.
With just such a glance, Luo Yao could be sure
their thoughts were not really on the government affairs at hand.
Instead… they had shifted to contemplating his own status.
Probably, those in the think tank were considering how to discuss the matter with him, the next Family Head of the Luo Family, after today’s tasks were finished.
However, if delegating this matter to the think tank could allow him to have a bit more leisure time in the period to come,
achieving a win-win situation,
that would seem to be a rather good decision.
After all, the old Family Head, Luo Ping, had already said it.
He only required a result.
Therefore, naturally, he could proceed as he wished.
…
As time passed,
evening came upon them in a blink.
At this moment, the sun set in the west,
casting the afterglow across the land, adding a special beauty to the terrain.
“It should be about time.”
“Time to rest…”
Inside the room,
once Luo Yao had finished dealing with all the government affairs in his hands,
he stood up silently and twisted his neck.
Following the crackling sound of his bones,
Luo Yao at last contentedly headed out of the room.
Although at this moment,
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was still sitting leisurely at the chief seat, sipping tea.
But Luo Ping had not explicitly restricted others,
such as the condition that no one could leave while he was present.
The current Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Ping, often only required a result.
As for the process,
that was unimportant.
So not just Luo Yao,
even the members of the think tank could leave directly after finishing the government affairs at hand.
Yet curiously,
normally as long as Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, had not left,
those in the think tank had never left the room early.
Only after Luo Ping had left would those experts silently exit the room.
…
“What to do next?”
“`
Outside the room.
Luo Yao placed his hands behind his back.
He stood as if he was an aged, immensely steady middle-aged man, or even an elder.
Silently, he watched the surroundings.
While he looked around, he also pondered some matters in his mind.
“Oh, that’s right,”
“It seems I cannot rest just yet.”
“I still have to handle the annoying issue that Luo Ping, that old fixture of stability, tossed my way.”
As he thought, Luo Yao couldn’t help but purse his lips with a hint of resignation.
Afterward, he slowly walked alone towards the distance.
If he left at this time and Luo Ping, the Family Head, had already departed,
naturally, he would slightly wait for the members of the think tank to seek him out during his journey.
They would discuss how to control the number of people entering Qingshi City.
But now…
Forget it.
As long as Luo Ping, the old codger and Family Head, had not yet risen,
none of those in the room from the particularly showy think tank would choose to leave early.
The people in this think tank truly epitomized hypocrisy.
…
In the blink of an eye,
a day had passed.
Early in the morning, when the sky had not yet fully brightened,
and the air was still faintly cool,
deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City,
stood a small courtyard that always exuded an aura of ancient mystery.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family,
was sitting quietly under a simple Stone Pavilion.
He calmly sipped the tea in his hands with a peaceful expression.
“Master.”
A somewhat blurry figure suddenly appeared before Luo Changfeng.
Luo Changfeng set down the cup of tea in his hands.
He slightly lifted his head, glancing at the figure clad in black, with their face obscured by shadows—one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, Yuan.
After a silent nod, Luo Changfeng asked in a low voice, “How goes it?”
Yuan bowed his head, his voice somewhat frosty as he responded, “The old monk in the Mortal Transcendence Realm from White Brahma Temple has now left the temple, even departing from the borders of White Lotus Prefecture where it is located, and is continuously moving toward the direction of the Royal Yan Family in the Great Flame Dynasty. The old ancestor of the Royal Yan Family in the Mortal Transcendence Realm is already embroiled in the tempest of war.”
“In short, three days, at most seven days,”
“these two parties are likely to encounter each other.”
“At that time, the war between the two sides will break out completely.”
Luo Changfeng listened to these words,
and he silently nodded his head.
Then he spoke again, “Beyond that, has anything else occurred?”
“What is the Da Feng Dynasty’s attitude towards this battle that is about to erupt?”
“Does the Five Elements Immortal Sect still show no signs of action?”
The figure in black, Yuan, contemplated for a moment before replying, “The Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty still opts to watch from the sidelines, seemingly with no intention to get involved in this matter, as for the Five Elements Immortal Sect…”
“According to the information I’ve gathered,”
“the Five Elements Immortal Sect seems to be unaware of the situation with the Great Flame Dynasty.”
“The Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty, who is under the tutelage of a Supreme Elder in the Five Elements Immortal Sect, doesn’t seem to have made this matter known.”
Luo Changfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He found it somewhat unexpected that the Yan Family had not brought this matter up directly,
seeking the aid of their esteemed master.
Even if that fellow, who is presently the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty, were to bring this issue up with his Supreme Elder master,
it’s still highly probable that the Five Elements Immortal Sect would nonetheless remain indifferent to the matter,
and not send anyone to resolve it.
“Family and one’s own future…”
“It seems that the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty has, after all, chosen his own future and forsaken his family.”
After murmuring to himself,
Luo Changfeng then waved his hand to Yuan, one of the Shadow Guard Three Great Commanders, at his side.
Only after Yuan had vanished from his sight,
did Luo Changfeng pick up the cup of tea on the stone table once again.
He brought it to his lips and began to sip gently.
