Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 59 - 57 Growth and Change [Seeking Recommendation Votes!]
Miao Yin Daoist made a goodwill gesture, and Lu Qingfeng learned many secrets from her.
War God Society!
Crying Swamp!
Three Mountains and Nine Waters!
...
Lu Qingfeng's thoughts were momentarily jumbled.
"Big brother!"
As he pondered in the courtyard, Lu Qingyu pushed the door open, holding two sticks of candied hawthorns, calling out crisply.
Lu Qingshan followed despondently, closing the courtyard door behind him.
Since the Returning to Truth Sect was destroyed, Lu Qingfeng had lifted the restriction on Qingshan and Qingyu's movements. Since then, Qingyu had been overjoyed, spending her days, apart from necessary cultivation, mostly wandering around Miao Yin City.
Buying all sorts of pretty clothes!
Eating all kinds of delicious snacks!
Watching all kinds of delightful performances!
She was extremely lively.
Lu Qingfeng focused on cultivation, not only for his own longing for the Immortal Dao, the thirst for longevity, and the yearning to swing his sword in the world, to ride clouds across vast realms freely, but his initial purpose was simply to allow his brother and sister to live happily in this world.
Now he had barely managed to do so.
Seeing the joy on Lu Qingyu's face, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile as well.
"Big brother, here."
Lu Qingyu handed the candied hawthorn in her left hand to Lu Qingfeng, licked the one in her right hand, her eyes curved into crescent moons, "It's so sweet!"
Lu Qingfeng took it, had a taste, and indeed, it was sweet to the core.
"Big brother, I have something to tell you." Lu Qingshan approached, his face somewhat uneasy.
"Speak."
Lu Qingfeng glanced at Qingshan while continuing to eat his candied hawthorn.
Before Qingshan could speak, Qingyu interrupted with a smack of her lips, "Big brother, I know, second brother wants to establish a gang and be the Gang Leader."
"Hmph!"
"Vanity!"
Lu Qingyu's face was full of disdain.
"Is that it?"
Lu Qingfeng looked towards Lu Qingshan, whose face reddened, angrily glaring at the self-satisfied Qingyu.
"It's not entirely that. It's just... I think that collecting various materials for big brother's alchemy and puppet-making through Miao Yin City always leaves us at the mercy of others - that's not a long-term solution. If we could establish a faction under our control, it would be much more convenient!" Lu Qingshan boldly voiced his inner thoughts.
In fact, he wasn't wrong.
Establishing a faction to collect various materials for his big brother would also be helping him. So that not everything would weigh on his big brother's mind, always feeling like a worthless burden.
Of course, Luo Qingyu wasn't wronging him.
When he was younger, in Black Wood Village, Lu Qingshan thought those Deacons were detestable, but also impressive. During the more than five months on Yellow Ganoderma Mountain, seeing those servant Deacons and Inner Chamber Disciples, he also felt their status was distinguished, and imposing!
He had practiced hard, and now his strength was not inferior to an elite disciple of Returning to Truth Sect, even stronger than those Inner Chamber Disciples.
But the big brother was low-key, and Qingyu cared even less about it.
This made Lu Qingshan feel like he was walking in brocade cloaks at night—
What's the point of strong cultivation if no one knows about it?!
He thought that after the Returning to Truth Sect's destruction, they could be a little more high-profile, letting people know their strength, and then earn their respect, admiration, fear. But who would have thought, after the Returning to Truth Sect was destroyed, big brother still did not step out of the courtyard, Qingyu wandered around all day cheerily like an ordinary little girl.
This made Lu Qingshan feel frustrated.
So, he had been quite depressed. Today, while accompanying Qingyu wandering on the street, seeing a Deacon Leader from Green Jade Sect walking past with his subordinates, hearing the nearby bystanders' exclamations and discussions, he felt incredibly envious.
He could no longer hold back, murmured to Qingyu, and decided to bring it up with big brother upon returning.
As the words reached his lips, he worried that his eldest brother might rebuke him for being too vain and wouldn't allow such high-profile behavior. Now that he'd spoken, he felt a sense of relief and lowered his head to stealthily observe his big brother's expression.
"What a great idea!"
Lu Qingfeng, with a candied haw in his mouth, praised continuously, "There's potential in this endeavor."
"Ah?"
"You agree, big brother?"
Lu Qingshan widened his eyes. He had considered that his big brother might strongly object or be unsupportive, but he had never dared to imagine that he would show such approval. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
"This is a good thing. Of course, big brother agrees."
Lu Qingfeng smiled at Qingshan, "But establishing a guild isn't something that can be done just by moving your lips. How to establish the guild, what it will focus on, whether it can be self-sufficient, and how to manage the guild, what the core principles are – these are all things you need to think through carefully."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan was momentarily stunned. "Is establishing a guild this troublesome?"
"What did you think?"
"Just summoning with a beckon, and masters gather from all over to join?"
Lu Qingfeng looked at Qingyu by the side and said to Qingshan, "You should write a detailed plan for setting up the guild, taking into account all aspects. A true man, if he is to do something, must do it well and with precision."
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately puffed up his chest, "I will definitely develop the Brother Gang and make it more formidable than the Green Jade Sect, and the War God Society, becoming the number one guild in Upper Sun Country!"
"Brother Gang..."
Lu Qingfeng slightly pursed his lips.
"Brother Gang sounds so bad!"
Lu Qingyu immediately became unhappy upon hearing this. First, 'Brother Gang' indeed sounded crude and tacky; secondly, 'brother' seemed to leave her out, didn't it?
Lu Qingyu couldn't accept this.
"Let's name it Peak Rain Sect!"
"Peak is for big brother, and Rain is for me, how nice that sounds!"
Lu Qingyu said joyfully.
"No! It shall be called Brother Gang!"
...
Lu Qingfeng shook his head and turned into his room.
This day's event, although looking joyful, also served as a reminder for Lu Qingfeng—

Qingshan and Qingyu were gradually growing up and starting to develop their own thoughts. Qingyu was okay, content with eating, drinking, playing, and staying by her big brother's side. She had no concept of her big brother taking care of everything for her; she simply considered it natural.
But Qingshan was different.
He had spent months on Yellow Ganoderma Mountain, enduring bullying, and had developed independent thoughts.
And after spending so much time in Miao Yin City, he had grown a lot.
If Lu Qingfeng continued as before, disengaging and keeping him solely by his side—although the intention was good, the outcome might not be.
"People in the martial world, even in their thirties and forties, still seek fame and profit. Qingshan is just a teenager over fifteen years old, in the stage where he's most eager for recognition and most susceptible to vanity."
Lu Qingfeng was usually low-key, but it was because he had seen the Primordial and knew the vastness of the heavens and the earth. With his current achievements, he still had much to seek.
Even so.
Deep down, Lu Qingfeng also had desires, yearning for the day—
"When millions of Sword Immortals are in the sky, they too shall bow their heads upon seeing me!"
Not to mention Lu Qingshan.
"Vanity isn't necessarily a bad thing. Letting him know the honor and transcendence that come with successful cultivation, he will likely cultivate even more diligently in the future. When he encounters stronger individuals, seeing their glory, he will strive to surpass them."
"As long as he's not arrogant, the results of cultivation might be even better than simply practicing in low spirits."
Lu Qingfeng had no experience in educating children, but having lived long, he understood the essence of everything. Thus, when Qingshan said he wanted to establish a guild, he consented. He also saw it as an opportunity to let go a bit, to see what this second brother could achieve.
If it hindered cultivation, then everything must cease.
But if it didn't affect cultivation and could provide Lu Qingshan with the experience, then Lu Qingfeng naturally supported it wholeheartedly.
