"This new Commander is truly remarkable, coming up with such a name. With a name like this, if there aren't a few beauties in this group in the future, it would be a disgrace to the heavens and their parents." Lei Qingfeng laughed so hard he almost cried.

Beside him, Qiu Tianyu also laughed, "This Commander might have formed the new group just to benefit the young and old folks of Longevity City."

"That's true. The Four Families think their bloodlines are noble, yet the birth rate has been declining year after year. Such brilliant bloodlines should definitely be passed down more. Now that I think about it, forming a new group at this time, and as a Technician group, makes sense." Lei Qingfeng chuckled, "Just wondering which lucky ones will be able to join this group."

"You two haven't gone to test the new Demon Armor; what nonsense are you chatting about here?" An old man walked over, scolding them.

Lei Qingfeng smiled and said, "Professor Xu, didn't you see the glorious new group formation? From now on, the six Longevity groups will become seven, with the new group as the Technician group. I really want to see what kind of people the members of this group are."

"What business is it of yours what kind of people they are? Hurry up and go test the Demon Armor for me, and get the new Demon Armor out soon, only then can our group stand tall and proud..." Just as Professor Xu was speaking, a voice came from the direction of Longevity Hall.

"The Seventh Longevity Group is officially established today. The formerly temporary Demon Armor group is now officially renamed as the Technician group. The new Commander will assume office within three days. Members of the Demon Armor group, please..."

The words that followed were unclear to Professor Xu, Lei Qingfeng, and Qiu Tianyu because they were already stunned.

"We are the lucky members of the Technician group..." Lei Qingfeng felt like his brain was struck by a series of lightning bolts, numbing his mind and leaving him standing there, dazed.

Li Xiu came out of Longevity Hall and saw that the Temple of Heaven outside was already crowded with people. Li Qingyi, Bai Ying, Mo Liu, and Sun Gang were also outside, looking at him with peculiar expressions.

Li Xiu was just about to greet them when he saw Li Qingyi, Bai Ying, and Sun Gang turning around and leaving with incredible speed, disappearing instantly, leaving only Mo Liu standing there.

Mo Liu didn't want to stay either; he wanted to be as far from Li Xiu as possible, just like Li Qingyi and the others. But he had to take Li Xiu to his residence and couldn't just leave like they did.

"Why did they all leave?" Li Xiu came up to Mo Liu and asked with a smile.

"Well... they all had things to do... Comman... Commander Li... Let me take you to your residence..." Mo Liu turned and walked, his steps light and brisk, eager to get to a less crowded place as quickly as possible.

Li Xiu followed Mo Liu to a white jade courtyard. Mo Liu handed him a set of keys, "Commander Li, this Heaven Number Seven Courtyard is prepared for the Commander of the Seventh Group. It has never been lived in before, so it might be a bit untidy inside. You'll have to clean it yourself, or you could ask your group members to help you clean it."

After handing over the keys, Mo Liu smiled and said, "Your Technician group, formerly known as the Demon Armor group, is located on Sunset Avenue in the western part of Longevity City. It used to be managed by Vice President Bai, but now that you're their Commander, you'll need to meet Vice President Bai soon for the handover."

"Thank you, I understand." Li Xiu nodded.

"Don't mention it. If there's anything... never mind... You're the Commander now... I'm just a regular Guiding Envoy, and I might need your help more often in the future." Mo Liu continued.

"I'm unfamiliar with this place; I should be the one asking for your help." Li Xiu replied.

Mo Liu chatted a bit more with Li Xiu, telling him about matters that needed attention in Longevity City, before finally leaving the Seventh Courtyard.

Li Xiu unlocked the entrance to the courtyard with the keys and found it quite clean. Jade walls, jade tables, jade stools, along with a fish pond and a flower bed, all made of white jade.

The entire courtyard was spotless, with no apparent signs of dirtiness.

Only a few small grass stalks grew in the flower bed, likely unattended, as they had grown taller than a person, resembling reeds.

Approaching the fish pond, the emerald water was deep and bottomless, but two lionhead goldfish frolicked in the water could be seen.

Ordinary lionheads are either golden, red, or pure white. But these lionhead goldfish were somewhat special, with patches of white and black resembling the colors of a cow.

The white parts glistened like jade, and the black parts were as dark as ink, looking like goldfish drawn in ancient style paintings.

Inside the courtyard were three main rooms and two wings. Despite not being very large, it was quite quaint.

All furniture and facilities in the rooms were carved from white jade, with nothing else, such that the bed was a single block of white jade without even a blanket.

There were no appliances, not even a water heater or running water.

After making a round, Li Xiu found a well in the courtyard, which seemed to be the source of drinking water.

The thought of a flush toilet was out of the question, but fortunately, the courtyard had an old-style outhouse.

"Times are advancing; how is Longevity Heaven still so outdated? It looks like I'll have to bring in some decent furniture later," Li Xiu could do nothing but make do for the night.

However, without even a blanket, sleeping would be uncomfortable. He decided to visit Sha Chu and see if he could borrow some bedding from her.
