Chapter 535: Su Yu’s Little Junior Brother (Part 1)
The Ghost Ancestor has indeed lived most of his life and immediately pointed out the most important issue to Han Jing sharply.
Han Jing smiled wryly, "I am indeed troubled by this issue."
It’s not that she hadn’t considered it, but she truly lacks an appropriate candidate.
The only people she can rely on are the three maids. Uncle Xu stayed in Hanjing City to help her manage her and Su Yu’s industries — the Prince Yu Mansion, Baihua Garden, including those private estates her mother left her; they cannot be neglected.
The three maids have followed her for years in the Ghost Realm, taking care of Xiao Xue while cultivating. Now they’ve all successfully broken through the Spirit Cultivation level, with Mu Jin reaching the Green Flame Level, which is already a significant breakthrough. Bo He and Dongbao also reached the advanced Orange Flame Level, which is quite rare at an average cultivation rate.
Mu Jin indeed has management talent; she handles all the affairs big and small around her, but her cultivation level doesn’t quite possess enough impact to manage a sect.
As for the former companions of Su Yu, Lan Mu and Lan Ji, Lan Mu stayed at the Spirit Flame Sect to pass messages for them, while Lan Ji went to find Yun Feng. Ever since Su Yu’s last appearance five years ago, Yun Feng has gone missing. Han Jing wants him to find Yun Feng somehow; only by finding Yun Feng can they know what actually happened in Beihan Palace those years ago. Of course, Yun Feng’s safety is the most critical concern, and they are worried whether Han Qingjue might have done something to Yun Feng.
As for Lan Lan, there hasn’t been any news of her in these years. She went to find her master, Misty Fairy Yun Qingyao, and hasn’t been heard from since.
And then there’s An Chuxue and her mother. An Chuxue is too kind-hearted, definitely not suitable, while her mother, though quite capable, lacks a bit in cultivation.
So, she truly has no one to rely on.
Han Jing couldn’t help but look at Lan Ling reproachfully.
Over the years, his cultivation has skyrocketed; he’s already reached the Purple Flame Fourth Level, but his emotional intelligence... truly hasn’t progressed much.
Lan Ling covered his face, thinking there’s no point looking at him like that; this talent might just be innate!
While the Ghost Ancestor was pondering where to find such a person for her, Lan Ling suddenly exclaimed, "I’ve got it! I’ve got someone who will definitely help us, and is absolutely trustworthy!"
"Who?" Everyone eagerly looked at him.
Lan Ling...
"It’s just that I don’t know if we can successfully invite him," Lan Ling was still a bit dispirited. This candidate is indeed very good, but...
Han Jing: "You should first say who it is!"
"He’s an old apprentice of our leader. Old Man Yun officially only took one disciple, but actually, he had an undisclosed pupil. This pupil was registered under Fengxi, Fengxi’s adopted son. After Fengxi died, Old Man Yun brought him back to the Spirit Flame Sect and personally taught him. Because he left the Spirit Flame Sect very early, although many knew him, over time, people rarely mentioned him, and he gradually faded from memory. If it weren’t for Han Jing looking for someone reliable, with high cultivation and capable to aid them now, he would never have thought of Lian Xichen."
"Fengxi’s adopted son? Then wouldn’t it..." Han Jing shot Lan Ling a look, "What are you thinking? It’s good if he doesn’t help Beihan Palace against us; you’re counting on him to assist us against Beihan Palace?"
