Bringing the farm to another world

Liang Wu is the current head of the Liang family. Ever since he learned that their Liang family's location had become the gathering place for the allied forces, his brow has never relaxed. He is very clear that his family is just a small family, and none of the families that the allied forces have come this time can afford to offend them. So this time, he has really gone all out, supervising the repairs of the houses every day and clearing out many rogue cultivators. This will cause them to lose a lot of spirit stones, but he has to do it. He knows very well that only by doing so will there be real danger. Therefore, Liang Wu strives to do everything perfectly.

That day, Liang Wu had just returned from watching others renovate their houses. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a disciple came to report that Liang Huan was requesting an audience. Liang Huan was Liang Wu's disciple. He did not hold any position in the family and was considered an idle person. He had little presence in the family because he lacked talent and had never liked cultivation since childhood. Therefore, although he was Liang Wu's younger brother, he had no status in the Liang family. Liang Wu and Liang Huan rarely met.

The disciple assumed that Liang Wu, being so busy, would refuse to see Liang Huan upon hearing of his request. However, to his surprise, Liang Wu simply nodded calmly and said, "Alright, have him come to my study." The disciple, though surprised, complied. Liang Wu went to his study and began processing the documents. Soon after, Liang Huan arrived. Liang Wu glanced at the disciple who had followed him in and then said, "You may leave. Stay outside and guard the door. Don't let anyone else in." The disciple, though puzzled, complied and left the study, closing the door behind him. He stood guard outside, knowing he couldn't hear what was happening inside, as the door was equipped with a soundproofing array. Although he didn't know what Liang Wu and Liang Huan were discussing, he knew it must be important; otherwise, Liang Wu wouldn't have made him stand guard outside.

After the disciple left, Liang Wu glanced at the room and, finding the door closed, cast a soundproof spell to envelop the two of them. Then he asked, "How did things go?"

Liang Huan said, "It's all arranged. Some disciples from the family have been sent to other continents in batches, and their names have been concealed to ensure that no one will know their identities. Brother, is it really necessary to do this?"

Liang Wu sighed and said, "This time they chose this place as the assembly point for their army. It seems like a good thing, that our Liang family can trade with the army. But that's not actually the case. There are people from various families in the army. Some of these families have a grudge against the Sima family, and we have always been subordinates of the Sima family. They won't directly cause trouble for the Sima family, but they will cause trouble for us. Besides, the strength of those big families is there for all to see. We can't afford to offend any of them. I have no choice but to do this because we have to prepare for the worst. If one day our family encounters a great calamity, then those disciples will be the last embers of our family. The reason I cleared those rogue cultivators out of the Jade Bamboo Continent was to hide our family disciples among them so that they wouldn't arouse suspicion. Our family is still too small and too weak, so we have no choice but to resort to this."

Liang Huan nodded. Liang Wu looked at Liang Huan and said, "Xiao Huan, very few people outside know you. Even within the family, not many people will notice you. That's why I had you do these things. You've suffered so much over the years. They don't know that your talent is actually better than mine. All these years, I've made you pretend to be a playboy. I'm really sorry."

If outsiders were to hear Liang Wu's words, they would be utterly astonished. They would never have imagined that Liang Wu would say that Liang Huan's talent was even better than his. Everyone now believed that Liang Huan's strength was inferior to Liang Wu's, and that Liang Huan was just a spoiled brat. Who could have imagined that Liang Huan's talent would actually surpass Liang Wu's? It was truly unbelievable.

This is actually quite normal. As a small family, the Liang family naturally has its own way of surviving. This has been the case for generations. If there are two brothers in the family, one stands in the limelight, and the other remains behind the scenes. Therefore, if you delve into the history of the Liang family, you'll find that there have always been纨绔 (wán kù, spoiled brats/spoiled brats) in every generation, seemingly more frequently than other families. This is actually a strategy of the Liang family. They often designate a particular纨绔 as a special纨绔 for the sake of the entire family. This way, if something really happens to the family, this纨绔 can do something that won't be noticed by others. People are paying attention to this. Just like this time, Liang Wu is very clear that the Liang family is facing a calamity. If they can get through it smoothly, that will be fine. But if they can't, then it's all over. The Liang family will face extermination. In order to preserve the last embers of the Liang family, Liang Wu decisively used Liang Huan as a trump card. He asked Liang Huan to help him send some family disciples to other continents to live in anonymity. In this way, even if something really happens to the Liang family, these people can survive. This way, the Liang family will not perish. This is the way of survival for these small families.

In the Meteorite Domain, the status of the eight major sects and the 108 major families has never been shaken. However, this does not mean that they have not changed their allegiance to other forces. Small families like theirs have changed hands quite often. Therefore, the Liang family has to keep a backup plan. They must make the worst-case scenario plan for everything. If something really happens, at least the family can continue to exist.

Upon hearing Liang Wu's words, Liang Huan immediately shook his head and said, "Brother, you don't need to say that. This is what I should do. For the sake of the Liang family, this is nothing. Brother, what should we do next?" After speaking, Liang Huan looked at Liang Wu. He did not object to Liang Wu's actions, but no matter what, he still hoped to protect the Liang family. There were so many people in the Liang family, and he did not want so many Liang family members to be in trouble. Although the Liang family had preserved some members, it would be best if nothing happened to them.

Upon hearing Liang Huan's words, Liang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I've done everything I can now. I've renovated the house, stockpiled supplies, and even had all the women in the family hide. I've also spoken to everyone in the family, telling them not to offend anyone who comes to our Jade Bamboo Continent. That's all we can do. If even this can't keep our family safe, then it can only mean that those guys want us dead. Huan, you should leave before those people come to the Jade Bamboo Continent. Although those family disciples are hiding, they only have some family inheritance on them. They can't do without someone to guide them. You can also guide them after you leave the Liang family."

Upon hearing Liang Wu's words, Liang Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly, then said, "Brother, aren't you overthinking this? Although I'm not a good brother, I'm still your brother no matter what. Even though my reputation isn't good, it doesn't mean they don't know who I am. If they really wanted to destroy our Liang family, do you think they wouldn't investigate thoroughly and let me go?" Liang Huan was very clear that if someone really wanted to destroy the Liang family, they would absolutely not let him go.

Liang Wu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. In a moment, I'll get angry and order someone to seal your cultivation and lock you in the family's forbidden area. A substitute has already been arranged for you there; that substitute will die there. That way, your identity as Liang Huan will be as good as dead, and naturally, no one will look for you anymore." Liang Wu paused here, then with a flick of his hand, a small, inconspicuous ring appeared in his palm. He then gave the ring to Liang Huan and said, "Little Huan, this is a spatial ring. I've copied all the important inheritances of the family and placed them inside. Keep this ring safe. If something really happens to the family..." "The heavy responsibility of passing on the family legacy is now entrusted to you." After saying this, he solemnly handed the ring to Liang Huan. Liang Huan looked at the ring; it seemed ordinary. Liang Huan probed the ring with his spiritual energy and found that it was absorbing his spiritual energy—absorbing a lot of it. Then the ring glowed slightly, and he saw what was inside. The ring contained many books, jade slips, treasures, and a large number of spirit stones, filled to the brim. Liang Huan withdrew his spiritual energy and looked at Liang Wu with some surprise. As soon as he withdrew his spiritual energy, he immediately discovered that the ring had become completely flat and uneven, without any special features.

Liang Wu said, "The material this ring is made of is quite special. It will only recognize its owner once. Once it does, apart from the owner's spiritual power, no one else's spiritual power will be able to detect its special features. They will only think of it as an ordinary ring. You should wear it. The contents of the ring are the family's last trump card." After saying this, Liang Wu couldn't help but sigh softly.

Liang Huan felt the weight of the ring. He looked at Liang Wu and said, "Brother, don't worry. If that day ever comes, I will definitely revive the Liang family." He carefully put the ring on his wrist. Liang Wu nodded in agreement and then said, "Conceal your spiritual energy, let others think I've sealed it." Liang Huan responded and completely concealed his spiritual energy. At that moment, Liang Wu shouted, "Someone come here!" With his voice, the person waiting outside... The disciple immediately pushed open the door and entered. Liang Wu then loudly proclaimed, "Liang Huan dared to disrespect me! I have sealed his spiritual energy. Take him to the family's forbidden area and lock him up. Do not release him without my order." Liang Wu spoke with a furious expression, as if Liang Huan had committed some heinous crime. This order startled the disciple, who knew that confining someone to the family's forbidden area was a grave offense in the Liang family. He hadn't expected Liang Wu to punish Liang Huan in such a way. (End of Chapter)
