“Witch… Huh? Could it be what the old man mentioned before?”

Qin Changqing suddenly remembered that MO Jiuzhou had warned him about the appearance of a demon cultivator a few years ago, and Jin Hong had also mentioned it. However, there was no news for a period of time, so Qin Changqing almost forgot about it.

Witch Si Hongyue, one of the two witches of Huntian Sect, a Golden Elixir Stage cultivator.

Comparing statuses, she was almost equivalent to the saintess of a righteous sect. Qin Changqing wondered, why would such a big shot run here to kill a steward?

As far as he knew, the cultivation requirement for a steward was Foundation Establishment Tier 5 and above, but generally not reaching the Golden Elixir

Stage.

That’s because cultivators at the Golden Elixir Stage already met the qualifications of an elder. All the Outer Sect Elders of Lingxiao Sect were at least Golden Elixir Stage cultivators.

So, this was very strange.

“Husband, what’s wrong?” Murong Xue asked.

“Nothing.” Qin Changqing shook his head, “You guys be careful in Yinxu Prefecture as well. Stewards being killed means there might be some conspiracy involved.”

The three entered the administrative hall.

Unlike the sect administration in Heiyu Town, the scale here was much larger.

Many secular disciples were handling affairs inside.

After Qin Changqing made his identity clear, he was immediately taken to a room upstairs.

“So you’re Junior Brother Qin?” In the room, a stern-looking man in gray robes was looking through the materials in his hand, raising his head to look, “My name is Liu Shuisheng, and I’m also a steward here.”

Qin Changqing smiled and nodded: “Senior Brother Liu.”

“Come, sit, sit.” Liu Shuisheng enthusiastically greeted, “I’ve seen your information, and to be honest, I’m a bit surprised. Someone as young and promising as you, not cultivating in the sect, but coming here instead.”

Liu Shuisheng didn’t know Qin Changqing’s specific cultivation, as personal information only involved matters in Heiyu Town, and it was against sect regulations to disclose a disciple’s internal information.

Of course, such explicit provisions could only guard against gentlemen and not villains to some extent.

But Liu Shuisheng had seen the Sect’s Grand Competition, so he knew that Qin

Changqing had “overpowered” three fellow disciples in the Tier 6-7 Foundation Establishment Stage.

Just this fighting strength alone, compared to Qin Changqing’s age, definitely belonged to the category of having potential, and besides, being MO Jiuzhou’s disciple set him apart from people like Liu Shuisheng who had no background or talent and could only rely on working for the sect to earn a living and cultivate.

Qin Changqing laughed, “Different people have different aspirations.”

Liu Shuisheng nodded and didn’t say much more, instead introducing Qin Changqing to the situation in Yinxu Prefecture.

There were a total of four stewards in Yinxu Prefecture. One of them was killed earlier, which opened up an opportunity for Qin Changqing to serve as a substitute.

Stewards were required to be at least Tier 5 Foundation Establishment, but in reality, each steward’s cultivation had reached the late stages of Foundation Establishment. For example, Liu Shuisheng’s cultivation was at Tier 10 Foundation Establishment.

Whichever stewards died, they were all Tier 10 Foundation Establishment while others were Tier 9 or 8.

Stewards were different from secular disciples. Most of them were from mediocre inner sect cultivation and with low aptitudes. As they grew older, they applied to become stewards, working for the sect, in order to gain more benefits for their cultivation than completing sect missions. The disadvantage was that it did not provide any opportunities to gain experience.

Some of them stayed in the mundane world for too long and lost their desire for realizing the Dao. Once this mindset took hold, it would be extremely detrimental to cultivation.

That’s why talented cultivators do not become stewards.

Above the stewards were elders, mainly Golden Elixir Stage Outer Sect Elders. Elders usually wouldn’t show up and they would deal directly with the City Lord of Yinxu Prefecture.

As for the relationship between the two, the stewards and the city lord’s subordinates had disputes, while the elders and the city lord also had disagreements, but on the surface, they would greet each other with smiles.

This was simply human nature.

Moreover, as much as possible, neither side would create friction deliberately.

Everyone was working for their superiors, and completing tasks was enough. There was no need to fight to the death, and even necessary cooperation was possible. Of course, this was an unspoken rule, and there was no need to speak about it openly.

Besides, stewards didn’t have much to do. Leave the trivial matters to be completed by the secular disciples, and each steward had their own people under their direct jurisdiction. These people would coordinate with the Divine Feet in the town, and finally, the tally of goods would be handed over to the steward.

As for the steward, once a year, they only needed to report the required items

to the elder.

So unless there were major issues, stewards could work just once a year, easily making money.

After listening to this, Qin Changqing was amazed. To think that there was such a wonderful job, and he hadn’t known about it before.

Now that he had become a steward, he would have more time to wrestle with his wives in the future.

“Junior Brother Qin, I’ve asked someone to clean up your residence. You’ll be living there from now on.” Liu Shuisheng brought in a secular disciple who was responsible for taking Qin Changqing to his assigned residence.

The stewards enjoyed a high status, so their living quarters were naturally not bad.

Qin Changqing originally planned to buy a mansion in Yinxu Prefecture as the residence for his family, but after seeing his new house, he immediately dismissed the idea.

“This house is at least three times bigger than Qin Mansion,” Qin Lingshuang said in surprise.

That’s right, it was at least three times bigger!

Qin Changqing was also amazed. This kind of treatment for a steward was unparalleled.

“Let’s go.” He laughed, “Let’s check out our future home.”

With that, he took the lead and stepped in.

Murong Xue didn’t think there was anything strange about it and naturally followed behind Qin Changqing.

However, Qin Lingshuang’s heart raced upon hearing this.

Our home… What does Senior Brother mean by that? Is he hinting at me? Should I say something?

“Junior Sister?” Qin Changqing looked back at her with a puzzled expression.

What’s going on?

“Coming, coming.” Qin Lingshuang shook her head secretly and entered the house as well.

The new home was huge. Entering the main gate, there was a courtyard paved with large pieces of bluestone, leading straight to the main hall.

On both sides were roads paved with goose-warmed stones and crushed stone. There were flowers and plants on both sides of the main hall, as well as pavilions and bamboo groves. Passing through the moon gates in the middle, they reached the back courtyard. The back courtyard was even larger, with many separate small courtyards, rockeries, towers, and pavilions available.

Most importantly, the back courtyard was vast, and Qin Changqing saw that expanding it later would be easy… Well, it could easily accommodate a hundred and eighty wives. If there were more, they would need to continue expanding and buy the surrounding houses as well.

“Hm?”

Qin Changqing walked into a room.

He found that there were traces of people having lived here.

There was water in the kettle on the table, and there were quilts and mosquito nets on the bed.

This was a new house, belonging to the Lingxiao Sect’s property. Liu Shuisheng had said it was built two years ago and had been empty since then. By rights, no one should have been living here.

After all, there were people guarding the place every day outside, and it was the territory of the Lingxiao Sect. Who would dare live here without permission?

Qin Changqing walked around.

He found a long strand of hair on the bed.

And, some women’s clothing hanging by the window.

There was a black outer garment, and… a bellyband?

Holy crap!

Qin Changqing was stunned for a moment: “This style is quite fashionable.”

Tsk! That’s not the point!

The point is, there’s a strange woman in my new house?!

“Tsk-What’s going on? Don’t you know you can’t just barge into someone else’s home?”

Qin Changqing took the clothes off the hanger.

Actually, the style was indeed fashionable. His own wives dressed much more conservatively than this.

But Qin Changqing had no intention of keeping it. Whoever it was, he would wrap up the quilt and burn it along with it.

“The fabric feels quite nice.” Qin Changqing stroked the fabric, feeling that anyone who could afford such clothing should not be an ordinary person. They couldn’t possibly be so poor as to live in someone else’s house, right?

With this thought, he suddenly felt that the situation might not be as simple as it seemed.

A wealthy person?

Or should he say…. a cultivator?
