Chapter 197 Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by "an oasis growing in the desert"
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
The square became lively again.
But this liveliness is a cautious kind of liveliness.
Everyone spoke in hushed tones.
No one dared to look at the stage.
Everyone subconsciously slows their pace or even takes a detour when passing the main table.
Li Jun sat there, watching all of this, feeling somewhat helpless.
He knew this would happen.
Every time he makes a fuss, it always ends up like this.
But this time, he really didn't expect it.
That wooden carving has such a powerful effect.
They directly transformed Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen into Dao Integration Masters.
He recalled the energy fluctuations he had sensed that night.
At the time, he wondered what the true effect of this wood carving was.
Now he knows.
Li Jun picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The effect is quite good.
He looked towards the stage.
Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen were standing there, receiving toasts from other villagers.
Those people, holding wine glasses, bowed respectfully, their smiles bordering on obsequious.
Yin Jian stood there, his expression somewhat stiff.
He clearly hasn't adapted to this change yet.
He was uncomfortable with the way people looked at him.
He was uncomfortable with the way those people spoke to him.
Looking at his appearance, Li Jun suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
This kid, even though he's a senior surgeon, he's still such a coward.
……
Sitting next to Li Jun, President Qin watched these scenes with a mix of emotions.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, no Dao Integration cultivator, or God Realm expert, has ever been born on the entire Blue Star!
And now, the Great Xia has produced two!
This not only further proves the unfathomable depth of Master Li, but also has epoch-making significance.
With Master Li in the Great Xia Dynasty, the world is truly blessed!
With these thoughts in mind, President Qin took out his phone and sent a message to the person in charge who remained at headquarters, instructing them to pay attention to guiding public opinion and to continue using the same excuse as before to appease all parties.
Then, he looked at Li Jun, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Master Li."
Li Jun looked at him.
"Um?"
President Qin carefully considered his words.
"Master, now that Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen have achieved Dao attainment, I wish to invite them to join the Night Watch. I wonder if you would be so kind as to..."
Li Jun waved his hand.
"President Qin, you don't need to ask me about this. Just go and ask those two directly."
Upon hearing this, President Qin was overjoyed.
Master Li simply didn't want to get too involved.
Or rather...
It gives those two young people the right to choose for themselves.
The matter can be considered basically settled.
After all, although he didn't know what Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen were thinking, he knew Lan Cailing. Now that Ling Gu Dong had broken away from the witchcraft lineage, given Lan Cailing's personality, she definitely wouldn't be idle.
This kind of "troublemaker" should be absorbed into the Night's Watch, and her domineering spirit should be used to govern the Miao region.
Just then, Li Jun suddenly stood up.
Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen walked over, each holding a wine glass.
Yin Jian had a smile on his face, but beneath that smile lay an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
"Taoist brother."
He spoke, his voice trembling slightly.
"This glass of wine is for you."
Lan Nianzhen also held a wine glass, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
Li Jun looked at them and waved his hand.
"We don't need to be so formal with each other."
He looked at Yin Jian and said seriously:
"Treat your younger brother and sister-in-law well from now on. If you bully her..."
At this point, Li Jun paused and turned to look at Lan Nianzhen.
"Remember to tell me, I'll stand up for you and make sure he behaves himself."
Upon hearing this, Lan Nianzhen almost burst into tears.
She nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
At this moment, Jin Hao also stepped forward and said to Lan Nianzhen:
"Me too, me too! If Yin Jian dares to make you angry, I promise I won't let him off the hook!"
Lan Nianzhen thanked her again.
Yin Jian, standing next to Jin Hao, glared at him with annoyance.
"Jin Hao, you have to call Nianzhen 'sister-in-law,' don't forget I'm two days older than you."
"What do you mean 'two days older'? You've been following me around calling me 'brother' since we were kids!"
Yin Jian was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
"You lied to me, how dare you say that?!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Hao chuckled and hid behind Li Jun.
The old Taoist priest watched this scene with a smile.
I feel that this trip to Miao territory was worthwhile.
These brats are making a ruckus, it's really nice.
……
The engagement banquet has ended.
The guests dispersed in shock.
When the chieftains and elders of each village and hamlet left, their steps were unsteady.
The impact they are experiencing today is enormous.
It's so big that it takes a long time to digest.
Long Haishan and his group slunk away, not daring to look back.
As for Gu Changqing, he made an excuse to leave shortly after the banquet began.
Anyone with eyes could see that he dared not stay any longer.
at this time.
Li Jun helped his master walk towards the wooden building where they lived.
The old Taoist priest had drunk a few cups of rice wine today; his face was flushed, his steps were a little unsteady, but he was full of energy.
"Jun'er".
He suddenly spoke.
Li Jun lowered his head. "Master, what's wrong?"
The old Taoist priest said slowly:
"When you get engaged in the future, I, the old Taoist priest, will have to make proper arrangements."
Li Jun was stunned.
"Master, what are you saying?"
The old Taoist priest glanced at him.
"What are you talking about? Of course, I'm talking about your business."
"Look at Yin Jian. He's the same age as you. He's engaged today, getting married in a while, and maybe he'll have a son and a daughter in two years."
"And you?"
Li Jun: "..."
The old Taoist priest continued:
"Old Daoist, I don't ask for anything else. Now that you're all grown up and have your own things to do, I just hope that you'll have a little grand-disciple so that I can enjoy a peaceful life playing with my grandchildren."
Li Jun remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he smiled.
"Master, don't worry, that day will come."
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"That's good."
The master and apprentice continued walking forward.
The sunlight shone in the valley, warming my skin.
In the distance, the sound of a waterfall could be faintly heard.
The old Taoist priest walked for a while, then suddenly asked again:
"By the way, when are you planning to hold it?"
Li Jun's lips twitched.
"Master, this matter... cannot be rushed."
The old Taoist priest snorted.
"Can't rush it? I don't think you've even considered that aspect."
"Jun'er, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you're already twenty. It's time to start thinking about it."
"We can't end up like those characters in cultivation novels, cultivating until we're all alone, can we?"
Li Jun was both amused and exasperated.
"Master, you still read cultivation novels?"
The old Taoist priest spoke with righteous indignation.
"What? You young people are allowed to watch, but I, an old Taoist priest, am not?"
……
the other side.
After Lan Cailing saw off the guests, President Qin went straight up to her.
The two went to a secluded place.
This is a platform on the edge of a cliff, with a thunderous waterfall not far away.
Lan Cailing stopped and turned around to look at President Qin.
"President Qin, please speak frankly."
President Qin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:
"I have something I'd like to discuss with Lord Lan Dong."
Lan Cailing looked at him.
"What is it?"
President Qin said, "The Night Watch is preparing to establish a Southwest Region in Miao territory to oversee the previously scattered Night Watch branches throughout the southwest."
"Regional manager..."
He paused, looking at Lan Cailing.
"Qin wants to invite the chief of Lan Dong to take on this role."
Lan Cailing was stunned.
Head of the Southwest Region for the Night Watch?
To oversee the various Night Watch branches throughout the Southwest?
This is practically a regional governor of the Great Xia's extraordinary realm.
She remained silent for a moment, then looked at President Qin.
"President Qin, your real purpose in promising such a prestigious position is probably to unify the various factions within the Miao region, isn't it?"
"Or rather..."
She paused.
"Is it an attempt to merge with the witchcraft lineage?"
President Qin nodded, without denying it.
"Lord Lan Dong is right."
He sighed.
"You saw what happened today. If it weren't for Master Li's presence, the witchcraft lineage would have been embroiled in conflict."
"I don't want to see internal strife, and I doubt Lord Lan Dong wants to see it either."
President Qin looked at Lan Cailing with an honest gaze.
"A new era has arrived, and the leader of this era is none other than Master Li."
"In this situation, why bother distinguishing things so clearly?"
"Now that Master Li has acknowledged your daughter, witchcraft will surely have a place in the future of our Great Xia's extraordinary world."
Lan Cailing fell silent after hearing this.
She looked at President Qin, at this old man she once thought was only good at scheming.
At this moment, there was no scheming in President Qin's eyes, only sincerity.
Only expectations for the future.
Lan Cailing suddenly smiled.
"Since Mr. Qin is so frank, it seems I have no choice but to accept."
Upon hearing this, President Qin smiled.
It became.
He was about to say something.
My phone suddenly rang.
President Qin frowned slightly, gestured to Lan Cailing, and then answered the phone.
Lan Cailing didn't pay any attention to what was being said on the other end of the phone.
But she could see President Qin's expression.
Qin's eyes were widening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not surprised.
It was shocking.
It was the kind of shock that comes from seeing a ghost.
Mr. Qin's grip on his phone tightened slightly.
"Explain yourself clearly."
His voice was still steady, but his speaking speed was noticeably faster.
"What do you mean by an oasis growing in the desert?!"
