Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 542: Chapter 259: The Final Winner, the Great Flame Dynasty?_1

Ever since Luo Yao was caught slacking off and shirking his duties,

his good days were over.

Every day, his desk would be piled high with stacks upon stacks of governmental affairs.

This was not even the most frustrating part.

What really irked him was

the Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping, who sat at the head seat, would occasionally glance over at him.

What? What are you trying to do?

You don’t trust my promise, do you?

What’s the point of staring at me like this all the time?

Because of this, Luo Yao gradually became filled with silent grievances.

But, as much as he complained inwardly,

he did not dare to voice his complaints.

After all, that was Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch.

Even aside from his status as the Family Head,

just the relationship between his own father and Luo Ping

left him no room to resist.

Now, Luo Yao had no choice but to work diligently, perform his duties earnestly, and be the obedient boy

in front of Family Head Luo Ping, Patriarch Changfeng, and the people of the Luo Family Clan.

To be the next Luo Family Patriarch that the clan members would recognize.

It seems that he could no longer do anything else.

Slack off? Be lazy?

Those were simply out of the question.

Let alone the possibility of shirking work quietly,

the occasional glances from Family Head Luo Ping were enough to completely quash all his thoughts of slacking or shirking.

…

In Qingshi City, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,

Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, was sitting calmly at the head of the room.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he sipped on the cup of tea that had already gone cold in his hand.

He silently observed Luo Yao, who was seated next to him,

bent over

and continuously dealing with one after another of the familial and external government affairs in his hands.

Luo Ping, as the current Luo Family Patriarch,

nodded in satisfaction.

Good, good, very good!

Ever since that young rascal Luo Yao stopped slacking off, stopped being lazy, stopped sneaking around,

the speed of dealing with the clan’s internal and external affairs seemed to have improved significantly,

as did the quality of solutions he provided for government affairs.

In truth, even without these benefits and improvements,

simply seeing Luo Yao, who was constantly busy with his duties and barely had time to rest, put Luo Ping in an exceptionally joyful and content mood.

How did that saying go?

A smile will not disappear,

it will only move from one person’s face to another’s.

Previously, Luo Ping didn’t quite understand the meaning of this phrase.

But now, by looking at the busy Luo Yao at his side,

and then at himself leisurely sipping tea and enjoying life,

the contrast made the smile and joy in his heart apparent.

“Xiao Yao…”

“Do you have any difficulties in dealing with the governmental affairs?”

“If so, you can point them out,

I will teach you properly.”

After Luo Ping finished the cup of tea in his hand,

he slowly set down the teacup.

Then, he spoke softly to Luo Yao, who was being groomed as the next Luo Family Patriarch.

“No, no trouble…”

“Nothing problematic for the time being.”

Luo Yao, feeling almost tearful, casually replied.

Afterward, he lowered his head again,

glanced at the towering stack of documents on his desk, so high that the top seemed almost out of sight,

and truly felt like crying.

When will these miserable days ever end?

…

In the room,

while Luo Yao was drowning in his endless inner torment,

a silent figure dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room.

Luo Ping, who had been sitting at the head of the room, sensed someone’s presence,

raised his head silently and squinted his eyes.

The person before him was not a Shadow Guard,

but a member of the mysterious force under his second command, composed of those eliminated from the Shadow Guard.

Although every member was cast out from the Shadow Guard,

and none could compare to even a tenth of a true Shadow Guard,

still, if anyone dared to underestimate this mysterious team,

they would pay a heavy price.

“What brings you here?”

Luo Ping glanced at the person before him, and after a moment of silence, asked.

“Family Head, the Great Moon Dynasty has fallen.”

“The Great Flame Dynasty has now occupied the entire territory of the Great Moon Dynasty.”

“The Great Flame Dynasty has become the true ruler of the Great Moon Dynasty.”

The Black-clothed Cultivator,

moved silently beside Luo Ping,

and whispered these words into his ear.

Of course, while the Black-clothed Cultivator spoke these words,

Luo Yao, who was seated beside Luo Ping and groomed to be the next Family Patriarch, also stealthily moved a little closer to Luo Ping’s direction.

Meanwhile, Luo Yao also closed his eyes and pricked up his ears,

as if he was intently listening to what the Black-clothed Cultivator was saying.

“What?”

“Is this true?”

Luo Ping, upon hearing the words, couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment on his face.

While the Great Moon Dynasty’s fall was a matter outside the realm of the Da Feng Dynasty,
