Chapter 883: Chapter 329: Tender Cat Lady, Transforming Online! Master Joins the Cultivation Too! (Part 2)

The Xu Family is constantly targeted at the Imperial Music Bureau, and it’s all under Chu Heng’s orders.

If it weren’t for Chen Mo’s intervention, we wouldn’t have persisted until today!

"Chu Heng deserves to die, but I didn’t do this for the Xu Family, Madam needn’t worry." Chen Mo spoke frankly.

Even without the Xu Family’s involvement, Chu Heng would still have to die. He had no intention of seeking gratitude in return.

Liu Miaozhi shook her head stubbornly and said, "To you, it might have been a mere convenience, but to me and the Xu Family, it’s a life-saving grace, a debt that cannot be repaid even with utmost devotion."

"I only regret that my status is low and my abilities limited, truly there’s little I can do for you..."

Saying this, her mood inevitably became a bit gloomier.

The weight of gratitude is like a mountain on one’s back, and hatred burns like fire in one’s heart.

The inability to repay kindness is a torment, just like being unable to avenge enmity.

"Madam, don’t belittle yourself, I indeed have something that requires your help." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Miaozhi’s expression brightened upon hearing this, eagerly she said, "Just speak, no need to hold back. My life was given to me by you, and if needed, I’d do anything without complaint!"

"It’s not that severe." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Chen Mo took out a stack of silver notes from the Heavenly Profound Ring and handed them to Liu Miaozhi, "Here’s about 3,000 taels, I need you to spend this money within a month."

?

Liu Miaozhi was stunned.

The help Chen Mo was asking for was actually to spend money?

"Mr. Chen, this..."

"Don’t misunderstand, I have conditions."

Chen Mo explained, "Starting today, you’ll lead the people of the Xu Family to follow Sect Master Ji for cultivation. This money should be spent, aside from basic expenses, on purchasing cultivation resources. Keep it with you, if it’s not enough, let me know."

"I’ll conduct regular checks on your cultivation, anyone showing even a hint of laziness will be kicked out, no second chances."

"Remember, I don’t support freeloaders."

3,000 taels for a month seems plenty, but keep in mind, the Xu Family women easily number in the dozens.

After Ji Lianxing’s assessment, their talents were generally adequate, and at least more than ten are suitable for cultivation.

Among them, Yu’er, Xu Ling’er, Liu Miaozhi... all possess exceptional Root Bone, and monthly consumption is not trivial, with expenses increasing as their realm advances.

It seems 3,000 taels might be slightly tight.

But there’s no other way, currently, many places require funds, the Azure Darkness Seal and Array Plate are bottomless pits, even if the Chen Family is wealthy, it can’t afford such squandering.

Though there’s backing from Jiu Zhou’s wealthiest woman, withdrawing tens of thousands of taels wouldn’t be an issue, but using the Empress’s money to support other women feels uncomfortable, and explaining this expense would be challenging.

Thus, he’ll only invest in those worth cultivating.

As for those lacking talent or diligence, just providing a meal is sufficient.

"Seems relying solely on the Jinxiu Workshop’s dividends is becoming insufficient, it’s time to explore new avenues." Chen Mo mused, stroking his chin.

"Mr. Chen..."

Liu Miaozhi’s eyes burned hot, her heart felt blocked.

Having experienced life’s warmth and cold, she naturally understood Chen Mo’s intentions.

If Chen Mo saw them merely as dependents, he wouldn’t go to such lengths.

Now spending heavily and inviting a First Grade Grandmaster for guidance, it’s all to give them the ability to establish themselves... Such kindness seems impossible to repay even over lifetimes.

"By the way." Chen Mo remembered something and said, "I mentioned before that I’d take you away from the Imperial Music Bureau, but for now, the situation is unclear, it’s not wise to act hastily. I’ll coordinate with the Ministry of Revenue to ensure no disruptions from outsiders, so you can cultivate at ease here in The Cloudwater Hall."

Originally, he had prepared documents to relocate everyone in the Xu Family.

But that day, Chu Yanli reminded him that matters related to the Xu Family are deeply entangled, involving not just the Prince Yu Mansion but also links to the current Holy Emperor.

Acting recklessly might invite trouble, and the Imperial Music Bureau serves as a perfect cover.

"We’ll follow your arrangement."

Liu Miaozhi wiped her eyes, seriously said, "Everything of mine belongs to you, the Xu Family now looks solely to you for guidance."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "No need to be so solemn, we’re all family, Yu’er will definitely go through the ceremony in the future, she’ll need to serve tea to Madam then."

Yu’er carries Xu Ruoyan’s Divine Soul within her, addressing her as mother is only appropriate.

"Master~"

Yu’er clung to Chen Mo’s arm, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

Liu Miaozhi hung her head, her cheeks burning, feeling ashamed for her previous thoughts.

Unexpectedly, their feelings are so pure, without any perception of social status, it’s her who measured them by her own standards and showed narrow-mindedness.

"All instructions have been given, that’s it, I have other matters to attend to, I can’t stay long." Chen Mo stood up to leave.

"Lord, I’ll see you out."

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui followed him.

Liu Miaozhi watched Chen Mo’s silhouette, deeply bowing, and until he was far away, she still hadn’t risen.

...

...

Outside The Cloudwater Hall’s gate.

Gu Manzhi pulled Chen Mo’s sleeve and whispered, "Lord, are you serious about marrying Yu’er?"

"Certainly." Chen Mo nodded, "She’s been with me for so long, she deserves a status."

"And what about others? Did you forget something?" Gu Manzhi couldn’t help asking.

Chen Mo’s mind was clear but he feigned ignorance, "No, what do you mean? Surely, you’re not talking about Xu Ling’er? We’re not even close, besides she’s Yu’er’s sister, it’s inappropriate..."
