A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

Hearing Li Changqing's question, Chen Yi felt a surge of joy. No matter how high Li Changqing's status and position had been in the past, she was still a woman, and women always cared about their place in other people's hearts.

The next moment, Chen Yi fell into deep thought. Li Changqing's question was not difficult to answer, but it left him somewhat dazed.

Having lived two lives, he didn't actually have any truly important people around him, and few people truly cared about him.

However, if someone cares about him, if someone is willing to stay by his side, he will cherish it.

He doesn't know what others think, but he won't abandon those around him for personal gain. He seeks profit so that those around him can live better lives. If he were to use those around him to advance his career, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

One cannot live a whole life solely focused on calculating gains and losses.

He looked at Li Changqing, grinned, and directly grabbed her hand, pulling her into his arms.

He had never been so domineering before, but since Li Changqing had already asked such a question, he had to express his thoughts clearly.

It's not like you have to be so secretive and unclear when expressing your own thoughts.

Li Changqing squinted at Chen Yi, his gaze calm yet possessing an air that made people afraid to be presumptuous. Under Li Changqing's gaze, most people would probably have already behaved themselves.

But it's clear that Chen Yi is no ordinary person.

He held Li Changqing's slender waist tightly, looking very affectionate, and said, "I will not trade anyone in my life for anything. The reason I work hard is that I hope that I and those who care about me can live well."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi added, "Speaking of the person I like, I hope we can have ten or eight kids together in the future. That way, she can be a good wife and mother, and I can work hard to support the family. Changqing, just imagine, isn't that a wonderful life?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "You know who I like, right? It's you, of course."

Li Changqing: ……

She knew she shouldn't have asked; the question she had just asked was incredibly stupid.

However, after hearing Chen Yi's words, she felt a strange sense of joy and excitement, which she found odd and unbelievable.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Chen Yi and said, "Let's get down to business first."

After she finished speaking, she gestured with her eyes for Chen Yi to sit down and said that once he sat down, Chen Yi should let her go.

Chen Yi nodded in full agreement, then sat down with her in his arms.

Li Changqing: ? ? ?

She finally couldn't resist any longer. With a movement, she broke free from Chen Yi's control and sat down opposite him.

She stared at Chen Yi, her expression deliberately serious, but no matter how serious she was, she couldn't completely hide the blush on her cheeks.

Chen Yi remained calm, but inwardly he was quite pleased with himself. So this person in front of him could blush after all.

Li Changqing glanced at him, his tone very serious, and said, "You've become an outer sect steward, in charge of ten outer sect disciples, five of whom are Foundation Establishment cultivators. How do you plan to manage these people?"

This is indeed a serious matter that requires careful consideration. After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi said, "I have already had them each prepare a plan to search for that female cultivator. Whoever's plan is better, I won't use theirs... I misspoke, I digress. Whoever's plan is better, I'll use theirs."

"Anything else?" Li Changqing asked.

Chen Yi scratched his head. That's all. These things just happened, and he hasn't figured out how to use his subordinates yet.

Seeing Chen Yi's expression, Li Changqing immediately understood that he had not considered this matter yet, and immediately said: "Of the ten subordinates, five are stronger than you. It will not be easy to completely control these people. The most feasible way is to divide these ten people into two teams and appoint two captains."

"In this way, it is impossible for the two teams to be of one mind, and it is impossible for anyone to challenge your authority. In fact, it is just like that disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect who set up three outer sect deacons. It is very difficult for the three outer sect deacons to be united. In this way, the chance of deceiving the superiors from top to bottom is eliminated."

Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you're right."

Li Changqing ignored the flattery and continued, "After selecting two captains, you should imitate that inner disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect and promise them some benefits that they would do anything to obtain. For example, you can promise that if you ever become an outer disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect, you will do your best to help the two captains become menial servants of the Eastern Divine Sect."

"The status of menial servants is naturally not high, but they also have the opportunity to become outer disciples of the Eastern Divine Sect. So, just saying this is enough to make the two captains completely devoted to them."

"Once you successfully control these ten people, you can actually do a lot with them, whether it's searching for that female cultivator or using them for your own purposes."

After speaking, Li Changqing pursed her lips. She realized that she had almost considered every possible situation for Chen Yi.

Ultimately, she didn't want Chen Yi to suffer a loss.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Changqing, what you said is a wake-up call. Doing what you said is indeed the easiest way to control these people."

It must be said that Li Changqing was very clever; the method he came up with was not difficult to implement, yet it was extremely effective.

Seeing that Chen Yi had accepted the previous suggestion, Li Changqing immediately continued, "Now that you have control over your subordinates, the next thing you should consider is cultivating the Wind Condensation Technique. Since that inner disciple made a promise, as long as you can successfully defeat a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in three months, I think that inner disciple will not go back on his word."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's heart stirred, and he asked, "You want me to become an outer disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect?"

Li Changqing looked surprised and said, "The Eastern Divine Sect is clearly extremely powerful, so naturally I hope you will become an outer disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect. Is there any doubt about that?"

Chen Yi stared at Li Changqing. Did he have any questions? Of course he did. Given the current situation, it was clear that the Eastern Divine Sect wouldn't give up until they found Li Changqing.

Therefore, if he becomes an outer disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect, it would definitely not be good news for this woman.

Noticing the confusion on Chen Yi's face, Li Changqing found Chen Yi quite strange. She felt that becoming an outer disciple of the Eastern Divine Sect was the best opportunity for Chen Yi.

After thinking for a moment, Li Changqing said, "I'm a little curious why you think I don't want you to become an outer sect disciple, but I really hope you can succeed."

At this point, Li Changqing's tone suddenly became more earnest, and he continued, "As I told you, the path of cultivation is treacherous and unpredictable, and every step is difficult. Now that you have become an outer sect deacon, it is no longer possible for you to live a low-key and peaceful life. You have chosen a path that can only be followed by continuous progress. Therefore, from now on, you can only strive to move forward, and there is no turning back."

The outside world is vast, while the Chen family is small. Therefore, she truly hopes that Chen Yi can reach greater heights step by step.

Even if you don't go very high, try to go as far as possible and stay as long as possible.
