Chapter 642: The Visit

"But for the time being, get ready for what may be coming.

"The situation is changing every moment and it might be best for you to be prepared." The low, coarse voice said.

Lao Er nodded his head and said, "Yes, Grand Ancestor Lin."

Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t sure if the cultivators from the north would do anything drastic when they realized that the Governor of Gui Feng City knew what they were doing.

It was best for him to warn Lao Er and Ling Er about it.

"I will see if I can let my old friend help when the time comes.

"As for now, it’s late in the night, have a good rest.

"Inform me of any updates about what’s happening whenever possible." The low coarse voice added and said.

"We will, Grand Ancestor Lin." Lao Er and Ling Er said with the other disciples in the main hall.

After he was done, Lin Xuan Qi continued with his cultivation until it was too late in the night for him to do so.

He had to try and ascend to the next stage of his cultivation level as soon as possible.

And since his Five-Element Core Formation Pills were running out, he would have to purchase more from Lu Ting the next day.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan Qi went back and rested for the day.

...

Next day.

Lin Xuan Qi got up, had breakfast and went out as usual.

Before going to the construction site for the shopping mall, he stopped at Lu Ting’s mansion first.

He asked the housekeeper to get the Spirit Herbs for him and at the same time help him get other items like talisman paper, ink and pills like the Recovery Pills.

After what Lee He Song had told him, there was a need for Lao Er and Ling Er to have access to the Recovery Pills for their survival.

The housekeeper didn’t say much and nodded her head at him.

It was Lu Ting’s orders to help Lin Xuan Qi whenever possible so she wasn’t going to reject him when she could.

"It should take around two days to arrive." The housekeeper said and Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at her before leaving.

Things on the streets of Hong Feng seemed to be bustling as usual.

The attack by the cultivators from the north seemed to have faded from everyone’s memories.

They had got on with life and were doing whatever they could to make a living.

Lin Xuan Qi arrived at the construction site and he was glad to see that things were wrapping up over there.

At the most, a week more should be what it takes for the tenants to move in, and after that, the shopping mall could be in operation very soon.

It was time for him to get the staff for the shopping mall ready.

He had already gotten a maintenance crew earlier and there was the need for a security team, customer service, administration, and someone to look over the accounts.

Lin Xuan Qi thought about where he should seek the personnel he needed for a few moments.

He gave out a sigh and he decided to let Old Ren from the Rice Noodles Store take care of it.

Old Ren, with his years of experience in dealing with staff, was the best candidate that Lin Xuan Qi could think of right now.

Lin Xuan Qi had too much on his hands and it was best for him to delegate it to Old Ren. He wouldn’t have the time and effort to be taking care of the recruitment personally.

With this thought, Lin Xuan Qi wasted no time and he went over to the Rice Noodle Store to check with Old Ren.

"What? That’s a surprise for me... What can an old man like me do to help?" Old Ren said with his eyes widened when he heard Lin Xuan Qi.

He was still at the Rice Noodles Store every day, supervising the workers.

What could an old man like him do?" Old Ren thought as he waved his hands at Lin Xuan Qi.

But Lin Xuan Qi had made up his mind and said, "Master Ren, I will be busy with other things and there aren’t anyone else with the relevant experience that can help me."

"Well, if you think my experience running a small stall is enough..." Old Ren’s face lit up for a moment when Lin Xuan Qi talked about his experience.

"Yes, I’m sure that it is more than enough." Lin Xuan Qi seized the opportunity and he quickly cupped his hands at Old Ren.

"Master Lin, you don’t have to.... I suppose an old man like me still has some value in this world." Old Ren gave out a short sigh and said.

"Great." Lin Xuan Qi said and he went on to brief Old Ren on what was required from him.

Old Ren nodded his head while taking down whatever he had said.

And with that settled, Lin Xuan Qi could now focus on other things that were much more crucial at the moment.

He went back to his mansion to check on Lao Er and Ling Er for any new updates, but there was another surprise waiting for him.

"Ah, there he is."

"Finally, he has come back."

"Heh. I hope Master Lin wouldn’t mind for us to intrude uninvited again."

Old Heng, young master Chew together with their friends were waiting for him in the main hall again.

But this time, there were smiles on their faces.

And in the middle of the main hall, there were a few chests laid on the floor.

"What a surprise to see everyone here.

"Please pardon me for the wait." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at everyone in the main hall and said.

Young master Chew waved his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and replied, "No. No. We are the ones intruding uninvited."

Old Heng nodded his head in agreement.

Once the customary greetings were over, Lin Xuan Qi gave them a smile and asked, "May I know what brings you here this time?"
