Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1451 - 636: Sweeping Through All Obstacles

After entering Qingyuan City,

The situation in the city surprised Lin Xuankong a bit.

Originally, he thought that the influx of hundreds of thousands of people into Qingyuan City would certainly throw the city, which originally housed only over two hundred thousand citizens, into chaos!

However, after walking for a while, Lin Xuankong discovered that the personnel from the Inspection Bureau continually patrolling the streets were actually maintaining order quite well!

The refugees pouring into Qingyuan City were mostly arranged in several squares, and additionally, the personnel from the Inspection Bureau and the soldiers from the Defense Battalion were already directing some of the refugees to set up numerous temporary tents for them to live in!

Miao Youren, walking alongside Lin Xuankong, observed the situation along their path and remarked with some emotion, "I heard that the tents, food, and clothing for the refugees were all funded and gathered from various warehouses by Ninth Young Master Huang from Kyoto!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but say, "That Ninth Young Master Huang is quite commendable!"

Miao Youren glanced around furtively and lowered his voice:

"Young Master Lin, you regard that Ninth Young Master Huang too highly! Although that Ninth Young Master Huang may not be a bad person, those noble figures from the power center in the Capital City are people accustomed to intrigues and schemes. Such a person would never take care of these refugees without reason!

According to what I’ve understood, Ninth Young Master Huang is paying such attention to these refugees not out of immense kindness but because he is compelled to do so!

I heard Ninth Young Master Huang promised the Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master to take care of all the poor citizens in Qingyuan City. With the refugees entering the city, they naturally became Qingyuan City’s poor citizens whom Ninth Young Master Huang has to take care of!"

Listening to this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but smile, though he had a somewhat different view than Miao Youren.

Because the influential Ninth Young Master Huang promised the Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master to take care of all the poor citizens of Qingyuan County, he could certainly prevent any refugees from entering Qingyuan City.

Yet, Ninth Young Master Huang not only did not do that but allowed many refugees to enter Qingyuan City. This indicates that Ninth Young Master Huang is not as lacking as Miao Youren claims!

Of course, these good deeds are only just beginning for Ninth Young Master Huang, and whether he can uphold his promise for many years requires further observation!

In Lin Xuankong’s view, if Ninth Young Master Huang can continue such large-scale charitable efforts for many years, these good deeds will surely heighten the reputation of the "Black-robed Ghost-faced Immortal Master" and earn him more respect from the citizens!

This, in turn, would establish a solid foundation and bring benefits when Lin Xuankong, upon reaching a bottleneck in practicing the Blood Spirit Technique, transitions to the Path of Incense! By then, Lin Xuankong wouldn’t be stingy with surprises for Ninth Young Master Huang, offering a delight that would truly excite the common folk!

Thinking about this, Lin Xuankong smiled slightly and said, "You don’t have to view Ninth Young Master Huang that way, Youren. No matter his initial intent for doing these good deeds, as long as they indeed benefit the citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom, and he persists in doing so, spending vast wealth, it’s far better than those wealthy but heartless individuals!

Doing good deeds should be done regardless of the heart’s intention; otherwise, how many people can be found who do not act for themselves but only for others? That too is unrealistic!"

Seeing Lin Xuankong say this, Miao Youren’s face changed, and he nodded repeatedly,

"Indeed, Young Master is right; doing good does not regard the heart, as long as it’s done, it’s fine! I’ve been too critical, especially considering that anyhow, the good deeds of Ninth Young Master Huang have brought unprecedented great benefits to the poor citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom in Qingyuan City!"

As the two chatted idly, they unknowingly arrived at the Miao Family Mansion.

At that moment, a white car slowly drove out from the entrance of the Miao Family Mansion, it was the same one that Third Miss Miao Wan’er once used to drive Lin Xuankong to a banquet!

When the white car drove close to Lin Xuankong and his companions, it stopped slowly, the window rolled down, revealing Miao Wan’er’s rather graceful face.

Sitting in the car, Third Miss Miao Wan’er nodded slightly at Lin Xuankong, not too friendly but still polite.

In the car besides Third Miss Miao Wan’er, there was another woman who seemed to be of a similar age! Her appearance was not considered pretty, but her features were harmonious, and her brow bore some heroic charm, especially with her military uniform that was quite neat and well-fitting, her shoulder epaulettes were quite ornate, with two arcs and three golden stars!

The military uniform paired with the military cap, along with the heroic aura from this woman, made up for her looks not matching up to Third Miss Miao Wan’er.

However, this woman in the military uniform seemed to have no interest in Lin Xuankong, merely glanced at him briefly before retracting her gaze!

After the vehicle drove further away, Miao Youren, beside Lin Xuankong, couldn’t help but exclaim,

"Miss Miao’s close friend is quite remarkable; a woman but already a Regular Training officer in Chaokou County’s Defense Battalion, and most impressively, only twenty-four or twenty-five years old! To be a Training officer at such a young age means Colonel Li Liyue’s future prospects will surely be excellent!
