Chapter 773 Send Them Over
In early April, a cold wave suddenly hit the north, sweeping across the country in an instant, and many people put on their coats again.

Strange rumors began to circulate on the Internet, saying that the inexplicable cold wave at this time was actually caused by Yang Linhui, the deputy captain of the Longxiong team, who had already formed a golden elixir, and was practicing powerful Taoist magic in the northwest.

Why would Jindan Zhenren create a cold wave in the country? This is something that makes no sense logically, yet many people actually believe it.

Because many people believe that the Golden Elixir Master must have the power to change the world.

In reality, changing the world is definitely impossible, but changing a local area is possible. For example, Zhou Hongyu's Great Bright Fire can burn down the entire forest on a mountaintop in 20 minutes.

As various data reports were submitted, the strength of the Jindan Zhenren was constantly being overestimated. In any case, a certain conclusion from before became increasingly clear:

The team system really cannot continue.

It is usually easier to establish a new system from scratch because many people are not sure whether the system is good or bad; but it is relatively more difficult to reform an existing system because it will inevitably affect the existing interests of certain groups of people.

For example, if a Jindan cultivator starts a harem under the name of a team, and then the official team system is suddenly cancelled, how can he still stay with the beautiful girls legitimately?
Without the cover of the team, they're no longer just colleagues. If they want to continue being together, they need a more legitimate reason, like officially confirming their relationship. It's easier with just two people, but how do you handle so many people? It's just creating unnecessary trouble for everyone!

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings for this Jindan Zhenren, someone needs to do some ideological work for him.

After returning to the Wudang Mountain base, Yan Yu also began to think about rebuilding the underworld and how to do it appropriately.

Chen Lingyun's idea of "rewarding the good and punishing the evil" is a good idea, but there's no guarantee it won't become rigid in the future. Yan Yu knows her well, and she's not the type of person who enjoys upholding justice—it would be more like Teacher Mei coming over.

The greater possibility is that Chen Lingyun packaged her own true and ulterior motives under the guise of rewarding the good and punishing the evil, in order to deceive everyone including Yan Yu.

Of course, if a person can tell lies for a lifetime, then the lie will become the truth. What Yan Yu is thinking about now is to supervise her to implement the "reward good and punish evil" thing. She must stick to it for ten thousand years without wavering and not give her the opportunity to cause trouble.

If you think about it carefully, in the entire distribution of positions in the underworld, she is the only one sitting in Fengdu City to judge good and evil, while the others are just cattle and horses on the execution post. This is obviously inappropriate.

Because no one could monitor Chen Lingyun's behavior, she could judge her however she pleased. They could say she was doing good deeds, even if she committed murder or arson; they could say she was unforgivable, even if she did all the good things. No one could offer any other assessment except to feel warm and at peace.

So who will supervise her?
Yan Yu decided on the candidate quickly without much thought.

Teacher Mei!

First of all, Mei Yingxue's values are very positive, and she cannot tolerate any injustice; secondly, Mei Yingxue also likes to work... Judging good and evil is a very mechanical and tiring task. If other people do it for a long time, they will easily become perfunctory, but Teacher Mei will definitely not do that.

But thinking carefully, with Chen Lingyun's intelligence, could she not have anticipated that I would ask Teacher Mei to supervise her? If she had anticipated it in advance, would she have already devised a way to deal with or even control Teacher Mei?
If so, then letting Teacher Mei supervise her would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!

Yan Yu was troubled by this until an uninvited guest interrupted his thoughts.

My father-in-law came to visit.

"How have you been lately?" Chen Tianming washed the cup, then put in the tea leaves he had brought and began brewing. "Judging from your expression, it seems like something's on your mind."

"Nothing." Yan Yu forced a smile, thinking to himself that it was all your daughter's fault. It made me rack my brains.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Chen Tianming did not ask any more questions, but just said lightly:

"The team system has been finalized."

"Isn't it a matter of time?" Yan Yu asked in surprise. "After forming a pill, everyone will break away from the team and act independently. Even those who don't know should have figured it out for themselves."

"There's always a process from trial to official implementation." Chen Tianming handed him the teacup. "You can still stay together now, but if the tasks become more numerous later on, you'll definitely have to move around and won't be able to stay in one place permanently. Then you'll inevitably be apart more often."

"Hmm..." Yan Yu held the teacup in both hands and pondered.

Is this Old Deng testing me? It's true, though. If five or six Jindan True Immortals eat and sleep together all day, with such deep bonds that they're like a family, then you're really going to have trouble eating and sleeping, so breaking up the team is inevitable. Other teams are easier to break up. But I have feelings for them, and even if we break up the team, the bond won't break. So they're trying to completely separate us by sending us lots of missions, weakening our connection by spending long periods of time apart?

Damn, this is not pure love!
Seeing Yan Yu expressionless and silent, Chen Tianming suddenly said:

"Generally speaking, if a couple in the system live and work in different places, the organization may consider their living needs and adjust their work locations to be together to facilitate their cohabitation."

"If you're not married but are a couple, it's a little more difficult. But as long as there's a formal relationship, it's not difficult to operate."

"Yeah." Yan Yu immediately understood and asked, "Then I have a question: what if it's an open relationship with multiple partners?"

"This kind of multi-person relationship cannot be publicly confirmed," Chen Tianming said calmly, "and naturally it cannot be the basis for applying for a transfer."

"I see." Yan Yu smiled. "Then, let's say I apply based on my relationship with Lingyun, and ask for approval to assign us long-term missions to the same location as much as possible."

"Then I can use the reason that I'm in a relationship with the next person... In this way, I can submit multiple applications at once, and they will be reviewed separately. Each application is based on a one-on-one relationship. Is that okay?"

Chen Tianming was speechless. How could you come up with such a dirty idea in an instant?
But he had to agree. After all, Yan Yu was the strongest Jindan cultivator in Lu Country. The rules had to adapt to him, not require him to abide by them. Otherwise, if he chose to ignore the rules, the authority of the rules would be completely lost.

He was willing to follow this set of rules. Even if he was given a seemingly reasonable reason, it would be a positive guidance and correction for other cultivators - Yan Yu also abides by the rules, so how dare you not?
"Don't submit them all at once." Chen Tianming took a sip of tea. "Submit them separately. Once the previous one is approved, submit the next one. If you find it troublesome, you can ask Lingyun to do it for you."

Letting your own daughter help your son-in-law advance the harem process is worthy of you, Master Taishan! Like father, like daughter!
At this moment, Yan Yu even felt convinced by Chen Tianming. But he quickly collected his thoughts and asked:
"How long does it usually take for an application like this to be approved? I think I have nine applications to submit."

"How can there be nine?" Chen Tianming was calm just now, but when he heard the last number, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

No, where did nine come from? Aren't there only five girls on your team?

Old Taishan was a man of deep shrewdness and great wisdom. Although he was caught off guard by Yan Yu's question, he immediately came up with the answer after thinking about it.

Could it be that he slept with female monks from other teams, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the team's disbanding to bring them in to live with him?

It was no secret that many female cultivators outside the team were fond of Yan Yu. For example, the side effects of the elixirs Li Minghu used to regulate his body specifically required Yan Yu's help; Zhou Hongyu once led his team to Jinling to seek Yan Yu's training; and Ye Jun once stayed in Jinling for a period of time... These were all confirmed intelligence.

Being involved with so many girls, if it was just a one-night stand when the mood struck, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, it would just mean he had a somewhat open lifestyle, and who wouldn't have that? But to be in that kind of "one-to-many open relationship" with so many people, even Chen Tianming was a little stunned.

Too many, too many!
"Does Lingyun know this?" Old Taishan asked with a frown.

"I know." Yan Yu said, "She also felt that there weren't enough people and wanted to bring Anna in as well. I laughed. She's the queen of the North. How could she possibly live with me permanently? At most, she'd come over occasionally to get together."

Chen Tianming stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

The original reason for breaking up the team was to prevent the six Jindan True Immortals from spending time together and becoming like a family. Now, Yan Yu was going to form a big family with the nine Jindan female cultivators. At least there was the obstacle of belonging to different teams before, but now it is gone!
It has a counter-effect.

Ten Jindan cultivators gathered in one place for a long time. What long-term tasks could be assigned to so many people? Not only was it a serious waste of combat resources, it was also a huge destabilizing factor for the Lu Kingdom.

Simply refusing to agree wouldn't work. This wasn't Yan Yu's wishful thinking, and the Lu Kingdom couldn't possibly offend ten Jindan Zhenren at once. But if I agreed, then Yan Yu wouldn't be held responsible. Wouldn't that mean I'd have to take the blame?

Old Taishan certainly didn't want to take the blame. He was such a noble man, how could he possibly get involved in something like this?
"Let Chen Lingyun help you submit the application first." Chen Tianming thought quickly and said immediately, "No need to follow the order. Submit nine at once, and remember to have each of them sign the relevant application."

When the time comes and the application is brought up, if my future son-in-law is among the applicants, I will definitely avoid suspicion and let other prime ministers make the decision.

A joint application from ten Jindan cultivators... Tsk, can it still be rejected? Who cares who they're passing the buck to? It has nothing to do with me.
