Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15747 Development
The head of the Shen family is named Shen Qingshan. He is an old man who looks to be around sixty years old. He has a head of white hair that is neatly combed and adorned with a jade hairpin. He is wearing the standard uniform of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but the clothes he wears give him an air of otherworldly elegance. This head of the Shen family is the head of the weapon refining hall of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, making him one of the most powerful figures in the sect.

The reason why the Shen family has always lived on Qingying Mountain is because there is a geothermal spring on Qingying Mountain that never goes out, making it the best place for refining weapons. It was thanks to this geothermal spring that the Shen family gradually grew to its current size.

Shen Qingshan was dealing with family matters in his room when a servant walked in from outside. He bowed to Shen Qingshan and then said, "Greetings, Master of the Family. Shen Xing requests an audience."

Shen Qingshan was taken aback, then he frowned and said, "Shen Qing? What's he doing here? Oh, let him in." He seemed to have suddenly remembered why Shen Xing had come, which was why he said "oh."

The servant responded and then left. A moment later, Shen Xing entered the study and bowed to Shen Qingshan.

Shen Qingshan's study looked quite ordinary, just a bit large. There were several bookshelves in the study, filled with all kinds of books. Shen Qingshan's desk was very large, with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. Shen Qingshan sat behind the desk.

Shen Xing bowed to Shen Qingshan and said, "Greetings, Patriarch."

Shen Qingshan nodded and said, "We're family, no need for formalities. You're here for the position of deputy head of the Feudal Hall, right? Everyone outside is saying that Fucha wants this position."

Shen Xing hurriedly replied, "Yes, Patriarch, I came here for this position. I worked hard for this position for many years to get it, and I absolutely cannot let them take it away so easily. If they really take this position away, will they turn around and try to take something else? Don't they really have no respect for our Shen family?"

Shen Qingshan listened to Shen Xing's words without any expression on his face. Instead, he looked at Shen Xing and said, "I know you are unwilling to give up this position, but many people have contributed to this matter this time. Even if you don't want to agree, it's probably impossible. Moreover, those people have given up a lot of benefits for the family. Therefore, the family has finally decided to give up your position."

Upon hearing Shen Qingshan's words, Shen Xing's expression changed. He knew very well that the patriarch's decision was final, and he had no choice but to agree, so his face immediately turned ashen.

Looking at his expression, Shen Qingshan continued, "Don't be disappointed. Although the family asked you to give up that position in the Cloud Realm, they won't abandon you. I've decided to transfer you to the Weapon Refining Hall as the Elder in charge of the Materials Warehouse. What do you think? Do you agree?"

Shen Xing was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. He knew that the Weapon Refining Hall was a major hall, one of the most important halls in the sect. Being a steward elder there would be much more prestigious than being the deputy hall master of this subordinate hall.

Moreover, Shen Qingshan has appointed him as the managing elder of the materials warehouse, which is a lucrative position. He will be dealing with materials every day, and there are many intricacies involved. Thinking of this, Shen Xing's expression changed completely. He bowed to Shen Qingshan with great excitement and said, "Thank you, Patriarch. I will leave it to you."

Shen Qingshan smiled slightly at his expression and then said, "Don't forget, you are a member of the Shen family. No one can easily bully a member of the Shen family. If they want a position in the Shen family, they have to pay a price. Even if they pay a price, we can't let them get away with it for nothing. If they take your position, they are disgracing the Shen family. The Shen family's face is not so easily lost. So I'm going to transfer you to a better place so they know that the Shen family's face is not something they can afford to lose. Go back to Yun and prepare. This matter has been decided. You can report to the Refining Hall in seven days at most."

Shen Xing happily responded, then bowed to Shen Qingshan before turning and leaving. Shen Qingshan, watching Shen Xing's demeanor, couldn't help but smile. This time, the other party had paid a considerable price to obtain Shen Xing's position. Although he had given Shen Xing the position of warehouse manager elder, it was nothing compared to the benefits gained this time. Moreover, he had used this as an excuse to arrange for Shen Xing to enter the weapon-refining hall. No one else could object, since Shen Qingshan wouldn't have transferred Shen Xing there if it weren't for their desire to push this plan forward. He could use this opportunity to openly and legitimately stuff people into the weapon-refining hall, thus better controlling it.

It's important to understand that the Weapon Refining Hall is a top-tier hall, and it's extremely important. However, precisely because of its importance, it's not a place where the Shen family can have absolute power. Although Shen Qingshan is the hall master, he doesn't have the final say in the Weapon Refining Hall. It's not easy for him to place members of the Shen family into the Weapon Refining Hall. Now, he can take advantage of this opportunity to place Shen Xing in. Although Shen Xing isn't a direct descendant, he is still a member of the Shen family and will still listen to him. This is exactly what he needs; he needs more support.

It can be said that Shen Qingshan had already considered the pros and cons after learning about this matter. As for the core disciples in the sect vying for the position of sect leader, some of them didn't even think about these things, and some family members, although they did, didn't consider it a big deal, so they directly agreed. Paying some benefits to eliminate a competitor was worthwhile in the eyes of those families. Shen Xing left Shen Qingshan's study with a happy expression. He thought for a moment, then moved and went directly to the Hall of Dependents. As soon as he arrived at the Hall of Dependents, Shen Xing immediately summoned Elder Yu. Previously, his relationship with Elder Yu was only so-so, but after these few incidents, he found that Elder Yu was indeed very useful. He had high hopes for Elder Yu's abilities, and it was precisely for this reason that he prepared to give Elder Yu a chance.

Elder Yu arrived at his study shortly afterward, his face showing a hint of anxiety. Upon seeing Shen Xing, he immediately bowed to him. He was about to say something, but seeing Shen Xing's expression, he swallowed his words. Then he looked at Shen Xing and asked, "Hall Master, is there some good news?"

Looking at Elder Yu, Shen Xing smiled slightly and said, "You should have heard about what's been happening lately. Someone is trying to use my position to frame Fucha. Fucha came to me before, saying he wanted me to find a way to keep my position. I just met with the clan leader, who said that I must give up my position this time. What do you think about this?" After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Elder Yu.

Upon hearing Shen Xing's words, Elder Yu's expression changed slightly. Then he suddenly said, "Judging from the Hall Master's appearance, he doesn't seem very sad. There must be another way to resolve this matter, right?"

"Hahaha, clever, you are a clever man." Shen Xing laughed loudly: "The patriarch said that this position can be given up, but the patriarch transferred me to the weapon refining hall and made me the managing elder of the materials warehouse. I have already agreed."

Upon hearing Shen Xing's words, Elder Yu felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he still smiled and said, "Congratulations, Hall Master. Although being a managing elder of a materials warehouse in the Weapon Refining Hall may not sound as prestigious as being the Hall Master, the scale of the two halls is completely different. Once you are in the Weapon Refining Hall, your status and position will be completely different."

Shen Xing laughed heartily and said, "That's what I was thinking too, but I have something to discuss with you now, which is about you. I'm planning to take you to the Weapon Refining Hall. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing Shen Xing's words, Elder Yu was first taken aback, then overjoyed. He immediately knelt down before Shen Xing and loudly proclaimed, "This humble servant is willing to follow the Hall Master, even at the cost of going through fire and water."

"Hahaha, good, it's good that you agree. Then go back and prepare. We should be able to get to the weapon-refining hall in seven days."

"Yes, Master. But Master, if we leave, what will happen to Fucha? Does he really want to come here and become the deputy master?"

"This is beyond our control. I didn't appoint him as the deputy hall master, so no matter what he says, this matter is not my fault. We don't need to worry about him, let him be."

"Yes, Master, I understand. I will go back and make preparations immediately. I will definitely complete the handover of things here. Please rest assured, Master."

"Alright, go ahead." Shen Xing waved his hand after saying that, and Elder Yu bowed to him before turning and leaving.

Shen Xing watched Elder Yu's retreating figure and smiled slightly, saying, "Fucha, hehehe, who cares about his life or death? He's already been kicked out, let him stay in this position for the rest of his life." Shen Xing had no interest in Fucha's life or death. His relationship with Fucha wasn't particularly close; they had barely met. Their previous meetings were merely because one was a deputy hall master and the other a core disciple, and they had attended sect conferences together. It was just a nodding acquaintance. Their deeper interactions were these two times, and even those two times were nothing more than a transaction, while the second was full of scheming. Fucha was using him, taking advantage of his desire to keep his position to help him escape his predicament. Therefore, the two really had no connection, and Shen Xing naturally wouldn't care about Fucha's life or death.

Meanwhile, Fucha was also waiting for news. He wanted to see if his plan would succeed this time. However, he believed that his plan would succeed because everyone thought he was vying for the position of sect leader. In fact, they had no idea that what he wanted to compete for was not the position of sect leader, but such an insignificant position. Probably no one would have thought that his goal from the very beginning was not the position of sect leader, but Shen Xing's position. Even if you told Yun, probably no one would believe it. But there was nothing that could be done. Who would have thought that a core disciple would actually try to grab such a position? No one would have thought that.
