Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 648 - 293, The Lover is Coming (Seeking Support!)_3
Although the Wuwei King had conquered Lingyuan Prefecture without incurring much of a cost, this was still a prefectural land of Xingyuan Road, with over ten million residents combined. Could it really just be given up so easily?
However, after the Wuwei King left, it took less than a day for the people of Lingyuan Prefecture to discover that many sect members of the Ziqing Holy Sect had mysteriously appeared in the six counties and the governor's city.
In fact, when the Wuwei King had first conquered Lingyuan Prefecture, attentive individuals had already noticed the arrival of quite a few Ziqing Holy Sect members from Jiaozhou in the east, but at that time there were only a minority, probably totaling a mere one or two thousand. This time it was different, however—there were easily over a hundred thousand just in the governor's city, and tens of thousands in each of the other six counties.
The astute quickly sensed something fishy going on.
Clearly, the Ziqing Holy Sect had taken over the administration of Lingyuan Prefecture.
That meant there was an issue between the Wuwei King and the Ziqing Holy Sect.
This Wuwei King was a prince of the Great Jin, mingling with the Ziqing Holy Sect—but what was that all about? As for the Ziqing Holy Sect, it was even more interesting. One of the three main sects of The Righteous Path was now involved with a prince from the Demon Path...
The wise knew how to play the fool. Although many had noticed these developments, almost everyone kept an attitude of profound discretion, turning a blind eye.
To be honest, there are some differences between The Righteous Path and the Demon Path. The Wuwei King's rule over Lingyuan Prefecture wasn't harsh, but his six adopted sons in the six counties had no shortage of imposing curfews, arbitrary killings, exterminating sects, and other such deeds, which had upset quite a few people.
It was different when the Ziqing Holy Sect arrived.
After all, they were disciples of the Taoist tradition. Their attitude toward the common folk was far better than that of the soldiers under the Wuwei King. Secondly, although there were indeed some who behaved inappropriately, those were in the extreme minority.
As soon as these sect members entered the city, they did not strut around showing off their power; instead, they provided medical treatment to the common people, gave out alms, and did good deeds, quickly winning the favor of all in the prefecture. Moreover, they strictly enforced the laws of the Ziqing Holy Sect, strictly forbidding martial artists from oppressing the common people. Any instance of such abuse, even if committed by their own disciples, was met with severe punishment without exception. After nine months, the moral climate in Lingyuan Prefecture had undergone a complete transformation.
The eyes of the people are clear-sighted. Ever since the Ziqing Holy Sect arrived, not to mention the Wuwei King, the governance was even better than when the Wanjian Holy Sect was in charge previously. People certainly took note and grew increasingly in support of the Ziqing Holy Sect.

New Yu Era 1325, November 28
Lingyuan Governor's City, West Main Road
Thousands of commoners formed a long queue, all eagerly watching a pavilion at the very front, where several young people dressed in white Taoist robes were busily prescribing medicine and taking pulses.
"Fairy Qingxue is out doing free medical consultations again today—such great news."
"Haha, do you think that's why there are so many people in line today? Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the Fairy."
"Fairy Qingxue is so beautiful and kind; she must be a celestial maiden who has descended to Earth."
"That one next to her seems to be her junior sister, Fairy Qingning."
...…
Most of the chatter among the crowd was about the two white-clad women in the pavilion. The two ladies were diagnosing and prescribing for the lined-up patients, and even from a distance, they were distinctly graceful and beautiful, like fairies from heaven.
However, all those waiting for the free consultations were common folk, harboring no bad intentions, and their words were filled with praise and admiration.
No sooner had Mo Qingning finished prescribing for someone that she turned her head and saw Zhao Qingxue holding her chin and daydreaming. Understanding what was on her mind, Mo Qingning couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Senior sister, are you still thinking about Uncle Master Mo's words?"
Qingxue's getting older and should marry; coincidentally, her suitor is about to arrive.
A couple of days ago, when Uncle Master Moxuzi had spoken these words to Zhao Qingxue, Mo Qingning happened to be present, so she knew about it. Guessing that Zhao Qingxue was still pondering over it, she naturally took the opportunity to make fun of her.
"Get out of here, you little wretch, turned against the heavens, asking for a beating," Zhao Qingxue said playfully, pretending to be angry with her junior sister, but before long, a voice sounded from behind them.
"Senior sister, the master is looking for you; it seems to be a distinguished guest by the surname of Hou."
At these words, Zhao Qingxue's face suddenly flushed, perhaps thinking of something that made her shy, and she turned to respond, "I'll be right there."
After instructing Mo Qingning to continue the consultations with the people, she promptly stood up and hurried to where her master, Moxuzi, was.
"So impatient—looks like Uncle Master Mo was right; it really is senior sister's beloved who has come. No way, I have to follow and see for myself."
Mo Qingning saw every expression on Zhao Qingxue's face and was immediately as curious as a cat with a scratchy paw. Intrigued by her senior sister's long-awaited suitor, she developed an intense curiosity.
"You all continue with the consultations here; I have something to take care of," she said.

"Yes, Sister Mo," they replied.
