X-Dragon Era

"Phew..." Looking at Ming Xuan with a wry smile, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? You lead them however you want, you communicate with them however you want. Others can't teach, and even if they do, you shouldn't learn, because you are already the most suitable."

"Mhm..." Nodding affirmatively, Yan Qingying added, "You tell them what to do, just let them do it. You don't need to consider anything. You're not making friends with them, but rather being their mentor. They are learning from you, you just need to instruct them on what to do, then supervise them. Don't mind the rest, just do what needs to be done." Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire

"Ah! Is it really that simple?" Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Ming Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Xin Yun glanced at Ming Xuan helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "What else did you think it would be? There's really no standard model for these things, whatever you do is fine. Nobody is asking you to change anything. It won't take too much of your time. If you don't want to deal with it, just run away. If you love fighting alone, then fight alone. If you love duels go for it. Just occasionally give some guidance when you're in the mood. Whatever happens in the end, nobody cares, because we never had any goals to begin with. Whatever it becomes, we can accept it."

"Whew..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "No problem. If it's just this, I'm actually quite fond of it. But... where do I recruit these disciples from?"

No sooner had Ming Xuan finished speaking than Yan Qingying replied, "That's not difficult. The Demon Dragon Clan sells many boys and girls around ten years old every year, specifically for the various clans. We can just go and buy them."

"Oh?" Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Yi Luo Xiang frowned in confusion, "Why must we buy? We could recruit disciples without spending money, right?"

In response to Yi Luo Xiang's question, Yan Qingying explained patiently, "Recruiting ourselves won't do. Although it might not be quite appropriate to say, the disciples we recruit ourselves are like untrained wild beasts; we cannot guarantee their loyalty. If they were to start a rebellion, it would be troublesome."

After a brief pause, Yan Qingying continued, "The children sold by the Demon Dragon Clan are different. Although they're expensive, they are truly worth it. Those children have been successfully brainwashed and are unconditionally loyal. That's what makes them worth cultivating, and we can confidently make use of them."

"Mhm mhm..." As he listened to Yan Qingying, Xin Yun nodded vigorously. The Demon Dragon Clan was essentially a band of child traffickers, collecting children aged three to four through various channels for adoption. That age is when children start to become aware and retain memories. Under professional training, they are completely brainwashed to become utterly loyal.

After nurturing them from the age of three or four to around ten, these children become fiercely loyal, prepared to die without a single frown, because they have received such indoctrination from the moment they started understanding the world until around the age of ten. It has become deeply ingrained and unchangeable.

Pleased, Xin Yun made a decisive statement, "Alright, let's not argue about this anymore. It's settled. But... this selection is critical, and we're not short of money now, so let's pick and buy the best material this time."

At this point, Xin Yun furrowed his brow, pondering carefully. Once sure there were no more issues, he pronounced confidently, "Alright, the divisions have been made, the arrangements set, everyone knows their tasks, so from now on... everyone should just work hard!"

"Huh?" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the three exchanged glances, and then Yi Luo Xiang asked in astonishment, "You've assigned tasks to all of us, but what about you? What will you do?"

"Me?" Pointing at himself in surprise, Xin Yun chuckled, "What else could I do? I'm the leader! You guys will be in charge of the specifics; I just need to contemplate the development direction of the clan."

"Uh..." Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the three looked at each other. They had been too busy rejoicing earlier, but now looking back, they realized that Xin Yun had distributed almost all the authority, leaving virtually nothing in his own hands.

On the surface, it seemed like Xin Yun had it easy, not needing to worry about anything; however, in reality... although he had nothing to manage, in return, his power was also dispersed.

Yi Luo Xiang could command the entire clan, Qingying was in charge of Palm Technique and had 12 disciples, Ming Xuan was the protector with 365 disciples, but Xin Yun appeared empty-handed, having no responsibilities and, at the same time, no power either.

Seeing the three's astonished faces, Xin Yun laughed and said, "Come on, stop looking at me like that. I don't place much importance on power. Besides... what's yours isn't mine? Whether the power and influence are in your hands or Mine, what's the difference?"

Watching the three with a mix of moved and guilty looks, Xin Yun inwardly chuckled to himself. He wasn't very interested in managing specific affairs. What he cared about more was his own strength. If he couldn't enhance his own strength, then even great authority would be as fleeting as a mirage. Without becoming one of the Nine Great Experts, everything he had would inevitably amount to nothing.@@novelbin@@
