Bringing the farm to another world

“Give Wan Hai a call and have him come over. I need to give him a warning, a reminder. After all, he just joined the sect, so we can give him a chance. As for the elders of the sect, they won’t get a chance,” Wen Wenhai said to Gongliang Juewen. This surprised Gongliang Juewen, but he nodded and agreed.

Wen Wenhai looked at Gongliang Juewen and said, "Do you think I'm too soft-hearted, giving them a chance at a time like this?"

Gongliang Juewen nodded, then said, "Master, didn't you say before that the sect wouldn't go easy on us?"

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "Of course the sect won't be lenient, but the sect won't do something like punishing someone without warning. The sect didn't explicitly tell them not to form groups; you just informed them. But at the time, you only said that you heard about it, not that it was an official notification from the sect. So, the sect didn't explicitly tell them not to form groups. If we deal with them directly because of this, it will cause their dissatisfaction, and they will say that we are punishing them without warning, which is unacceptable. So, we called Wan Hai over to give them a warning. If they don't change, then dealing with them will be fine. But if they do change, then we can give them a chance. This is a privilege only for those who have just joined the sect."

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai's words, Gongliang Juewen immediately responded. Wen Wenhai then said, "Alright, go make the call."

Gongliang Juewen responded, then went outside to make a phone call. He returned shortly after and said to Wen Wenhai, "Wan Hai will be here soon."

Wen Wenhai nodded, then said, "You sit down too." Gongliang Juewen responded and sat down at a table next to Wen Wenhai's office. This table was a little smaller than Wen Wenhai's, and it was specially prepared by Wen Wenhai for Gongliang Juewen.

Wen Wenhai intended to train Gongliang Juewen as his disciple and deputy, which is why he arranged this table for Gongliang Juewen in his room.

A disciple came in shortly after and reported, "Elder, Elder Wan Hai has arrived."

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "Please let him in." He then stood up, and the disciple responded and turned to leave. A moment later, Wan Hai entered the room. As soon as he entered, he saw Gongliang Juewen. Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen were both standing behind their seats, quietly watching him.

Wan Hai hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting to Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen, saying, "Greetings, Elder Wen, greetings, Your Majesty... Elder Gongliang." Clearly, he wanted to address Gongliang Juewen as His Majesty, but ultimately didn't.

Wen Wenhai returned the greeting and said, "Elder Wan, you're too kind. Please have a seat."

Wan Hai responded and then walked over to sit down in front of Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen also sat down. After the three of them were seated, Wen Wenhai looked at Wan Hai and then said with a smile, "Elder Wan has been a member of the sect for a few days now. I've been busy with sect affairs these past few days and haven't been able to meet you, which is a real pity. Since I have some time today, I invited Elder Wan to come and meet me, so that we can formally get to know each other."

Wan Hai quickly said, "Elder Wen, you're too kind. You're a busy person, and we don't have anything to do. You don't need to bother with us." His words were slightly sarcastic, clearly indicating that he had some dissatisfaction with Wen Wenhai.

Wen Wenhai pretended not to hear and smiled slightly, saying, "How could Elder Wan be alright? The Wan family is a large family, and Elder Wan must have a lot to do, right? By the way, I wonder if everyone in the Wan family has been settled? There are many families in the sect, and each family lives well in the sect. We also hope to take care of all the families. If you have any inconveniences, please be sure to tell me."

Wan Hai felt that there must be something else behind Wen Wenhai's words, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment. He immediately said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Wen. We are very satisfied with the sect's arrangements."

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "That's good. There are quite a few families and sects joining this time. Some of those sects have even announced their dissolution. Actually, there's no need for that. As for the families, you don't need to do anything. After all, families are quite different from sects. Families can't dissolve, and they don't need to."

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai's words, Wan Hai felt a chill run down his spine, and then said, "Yes, in fact, the family does not need to be disbanded, after all, we are all related by blood."

Upon hearing Wan Hai's words, Wen Wenhai gave him a deep look. He understood Wan Hai's meaning; it was quite clear that they didn't want to disband. Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "That's right. You are all related by blood, so of course there's no need to disband. Actually, the sect doesn't really care about these things; it's just that people overthink things. Patriarch Wan has done a good job. If you have any needs, you can tell me now."

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai's words, Wan Hai pondered for a moment before replying, "The sect has taken great care of our families, and we are very satisfied. We have no further requests."

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied. From now on, you will all be disciples of the sect. If the sect wants to transfer the Wan family's disciples to other branches, I wonder if you have any objections?"

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, "The Wan family has only just joined the sect, and many of the disciples in the family have not yet adapted to life in the sect. Could you please ask Elder Wen to transfer them to other branch halls after a period of time?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Wenhai gave Wan Hai a deep look, then smiled and said, "Sure, of course there's no problem. It's just that transferring the disciples from each family to other branches is a common practice in the sect. Actually, we can do it or not. In my opinion, it's unnecessary. After all, even if they are transferred, they are still members of the Wan family. It doesn't matter whether they are transferred or not. It's just because it's a common practice in the sect that I asked again. Let the Wan family disciples adapt to the sect's situation. We can discuss the transfer later."

Although Wen Wenhai's words sounded very nice, his meaning was quite clear: transferring Wan Hai's disciples to other branches would not affect your Wan family, as they would still be disciples of your Wan family. Moreover, this was the sect's custom, so you should abide by it.

After listening to Wen Wenhai's words, Wan Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Wen. Once the Wan family disciples have adapted to life in the sect, we will absolutely obey the sect's orders and transfer them to other branch halls."

Wen Wenhai nodded, then smiled and said, "I called Elder Wan here this time to get to know you and also to ask if you need anything. Now that I know you are doing well, I am relieved. Elder Wan, please go back. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."

Wan Hai responded, then stood up, bowed to Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen, and then turned and left.

Gongliang Juewen's face was extremely ugly. After Wan Hai left, he couldn't help but snort coldly and then said, "They don't know what's good for them. It seems they're determined to go down this dark path."

Wen Wenhai wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Forget it. I already guessed this would be the result. There's no need to be angry. People always think they're right until they suffer a loss. They think they're right now. My warning to them today won't make them back down. On the contrary, it will strengthen their resolve and make them act faster. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some cancers need to be allowed to erupt before you can just cut them off."

"I just think, how could they be so stupid? The sect treats them so well, why do they still ask for more? It's too much." Gongliang Juewen was really angry. He was actually a very clear-headed person. His Gongliang family was a family even larger than the Wan family. After his family joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, it wasn't long before he directly transferred the family's disciples to various branch halls. Just like Wen Wenhai said, even if those people were transferred to other branch halls, they were still disciples of the Gongliang family. So what if they were transferred? What's there to worry about? As long as the family continues, what's wrong with continuing in any way? Why do they have to stay together and demand some special privileges? He really couldn't understand it.

Wen Wenhai smiled slightly and then said, "Humans are all greedy and always want more. That's human nature. If people didn't want more, there wouldn't be any cultivators. Don't cultivators want more and want to live longer? So it's normal and there's nothing strange about it."

Gongliang Juewen let out a long breath, composed himself, and then turned to Wen Wenhai, saying, "Master, what do we do now? Are we just going to wait for them to make their move?"

Wen Wenhai smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we just need to wait for them to make their move. What are we now? We are the chefs now. We have already heated up the pot and prepared all the side dishes. We are just waiting for the fish to come into the pot by itself. So don't rush, be patient. Our conversation this time will be a kind of bait, and they will come up on their own."

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai's words, Gongliang Juewen nodded. He then glanced at Wen Wenhai and asked, "Master, if the Wan family really agrees to transfer the family's disciples to various branch halls, are we really going to leave them alone?"

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "As I said, this is an opportunity we're giving them. If they agree to let us transfer their family's disciples to other branches, then of course we won't do anything. The sect still has that much magnanimity. But I also guessed they definitely wouldn't agree. Do you know why? It's actually very simple: because they've already contacted other families. At this point, they have no way to back out. It's like an arrow shot from a bow—there's no turning back." (End of Chapter)
