The Sacred Leaves Family's Wishes for Peace-Chapter 125 Go to the Supervisor

"Uncle Yunshan, Auntie, is Brother Yanshui home?"

Outside the small courtyard, a slightly plump young man dressed in fine robes stood with a warm smile, holding a few gifts. Beside him was a young girl in a simple white dress, her delicate features radiating elegance. Together, they greeted Yun Yunshan and Yun Qin’s family, who were in the midst of dinner.

"Yandong? Quickly, come in and have a seat!"

Recognizing the young man as Yun Yandong, Yun Qin hurried to welcome him into the courtyard. She then went to the kitchen to prepare two additional sets of bowls and chopsticks for their guests.

"It’s been a while, hasn’t it? How’s work going at the yamen? All smooth?"

Yun Yunshan poured a cup of wine for Yun Yandong and smiled warmly.

"Everything’s been going well," Yun Yandong replied.

"Brother Yandong, aren’t you going to introduce us to your lovely companion?" teased Yun Yanshuang, her playful gaze darting between Yandong and the girl beside him.

The girl, dressed in her white gown, blushed and lowered her head shyly upon hearing Yanshuang’s words.

Yun Yandong scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Ah, look at me—I nearly forgot!"

"Uncle Yunshan, Auntie, Shuang’er, this is my fiancée, Lu Qingrong, the daughter of Lord Lu. I brought her here specifically to meet my family."

"Hehe! Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law! I’m Yun Yanshuang."

"Nice to meet you," Lu Qingrong said with a polite smile, though her voice was tinged with shyness.

"Qingrong, this is my Uncle Yunshan and Auntie. Over the years, they’ve taken great care of my mother and me," Yun Yandong explained.

"Uncle Yunshan, Auntie, it’s an honor to meet you," Lu Qingrong said, bowing slightly.

"Haha! What a polite young lady," Yun Yunshan praised with a chuckle.

"I don’t have much to give, but here’s a low-grade spirit stone. If you’re blessed with a child who has spiritual roots, it may prove useful in the future."

"This… I couldn’t possibly accept!" Lu Qingrong hesitated, clearly flustered. As the daughter of Lord Lu, she was aware of the value of a spirit stone—a treasure used by cultivators, worth a fortune in the mundane world, and often unavailable even to those with money.

"Don’t be shy. Yandong is like a son to me, and I’m thrilled that he’s found someone like you. This is just a token of my blessing," Yun Yunshan said kindly.

Still hesitant, Lu Qingrong glanced at Yandong for help.

"Since it’s Uncle Yunshan’s heartfelt gesture, you should accept it," Yandong said.

"Thank you, Uncle Yunshan," Lu Qingrong said softly, carefully tucking the spirit stone away.

At that moment, Yun Yanshui entered the courtyard with the Golden-Eyed Beast. Seeing Yun Yandong chatting with his parents, he paused in surprise.

"Yandong? It’s been a while!"

"Hehe! Brother Yanshui, long time no see!"

"Look at you! Aren’t you supposed to be busy at the yamen? How did you find time to come back?"

"I missed you, of course!"

"Yeah, right," Yanshui replied with mock disdain before grabbing a bowl and chopsticks to join the meal. He began eating voraciously, his ravenous demeanor making everyone laugh.

"Brother, have some manners. Sister-in-law is right here!" Yun Yanshuang scolded playfully.

"We’re family now. Why bother with manners?" Yanshui retorted, prompting a burst of laughter from everyone.

Even Lu Qingrong, who had been nervous and reserved at first, found herself relaxing in the lively atmosphere.

Before arriving, she had worried that the Yun family, being a prominent cultivation clan, might be difficult to approach, with strict elders who valued decorum above all else. But now, surrounded by their warmth and humor, she realized her concerns had been unfounded.

"Sister-in-law, you have nothing to fear. Yandong here is a little rascal I grew up with, and he wouldn’t dare mistreat a woman.

If he ever gives you trouble after you marry him, just tell me, and I’ll knock some sense into him!" Yanshui said with a grin.

"Thank you, Brother Yanshui!" Lu Qingrong replied sweetly. The family’s hospitality soon put her completely at ease.

"So, Yandong, how’s your mother’s health?" Yun Yunshan asked.

"She’s doing well. The old ailments she had have completely healed, thanks to the herbs and spiritual resources my father provided," Yandong replied.

Yandong’s "father" was Yun Yunsun, who had risen from a branch family member to become part of the main lineage.

"Did you take Sister-in-law to visit Auntie and Uncle Yunsun?"

"We’ve already been to see them," Yandong confirmed.

"When’s the wedding?"

"We’re planning for the end of the year, after Yanbai and Qin Yue’s wedding."

"Well, you’d better put in the effort and give us a new addition to the Yun family soon. Look at Yanbai—he hasn’t even tied the knot yet, and Qin Yue’s already expecting!"

Yun Yanshui teased, "Better work hard, Yandong. We’re all waiting for you to bring some new Yun blood into the family. Look at Yanbai—he hasn’t even officially tied the knot, and Qin Yue’s already expecting!"

At this, both Yun Yandong and Lu Qingrong blushed deeply, clearly flustered by the remark.

"With so many weddings happening in the clan, it’s just my sister and me left," Yanshui continued with a laugh.

"Hehe! Brother Yanshui, Shuang’er, you two should find partners soon! We’re all eager to attend your weddings next!"

"You little rascal! Teasing my sister and me, are you? That’ll cost you three cups of wine—and then you can head back and cuddle your wife," Yanshui shot back, grinning.

Seeing the lighthearted banter between the two, Yun Yunshan eventually steered the conversation elsewhere. Turning to his son, he asked, "Yanshui, any luck finding a new spiritual ore vein with the Golden-Eyed Beast?"

"I’ve discovered a small ore vein," Yanshui replied. "I’ve already informed Uncle Yunyang. He’ll send people to the mountains soon to begin preparations for mining."

"You’ve worked hard these past few weeks," Yunshan said with a nod of approval.

"Now that Ling’er and her husband have secured a market in Yunzhang County, and workers will soon begin repairs, the family doesn’t have enough manpower to oversee the project.

This responsibility will fall to you."

"Uncle Yunshan, I can help as well," Yandong interjected. "Working at the yamen, I spend most of my time patrolling Yunzhang County anyway."

"Haha! Good. You two brothers can handle the supervision together. Yanbai and Yansong will also assist as needed," Yunshan said, visibly pleased.

Reflecting on how the once-young members of the clan—Yanshui, Yanling, Yandong, Yansong, and Yanbai—had all grown into capable adults, Yunshan felt a deep sense of pride.

In time, when the older generation stepped down from leadership, these young ones would undoubtedly guide the Yun Clan to even greater heights, ensuring its prosperity for years to come.

The following day, Yun Yanshui and Yun Yansong accompanied Yun Yandong and Lu Qingrong to Yunzhang County.

Upon reaching the county, Yandong and Qingrong disembarked at the yamen, while Yanshui and Yansong continued on to the newly acquired market.

Arriving at the site, they found Yun Yanling and her husband, Qin Zhan, busily managing the recruitment of craftsmen. Qin Zhan had even arranged for guards from the Qin family to maintain order, ensuring no one disrupted the proceedings.

"Sister Ling’er, Brother-in-law!" Yanshui and Yansong greeted them with respectful bows.

"What brings you two here?" Yanling asked, surprised.

"Knowing you’re short-handed for the market’s repairs, the family sent us to help oversee the project," Yanshui explained. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

"Perfect. There’s an inn within the market that was cleaned and repaired a few days ago. You can stay there while you manage the repairs," Yanling said.

"Understood."

"How long will the repairs take?" Yansong asked.

"About six months, if everything goes smoothly. It should be finished by the end of the year," Yanling replied.

"Haha! That’s just in time for Yandong’s wedding. We can celebrate both events together!" Yanshui joked, grinning.

With that, he and Yansong began supervising the craftsmen as they worked on the renovations.

In the days that followed, Yanshui and Yansong settled into their roles, eating and sleeping within the market. Their primary task was overseeing the repairs, ensuring everything proceeded as planned.

Occasionally, Yandong would visit the site while on patrol with his superior, the captain of the yamen guards, ensuring no trouble arose in the Yun Clan’s market.

Even Yun Yanbai, though busy preparing for his wedding, would find time to assist when needed.

Meanwhile, in Yulin County, at the ancestral estate of the Wang family:

"How are the repairs to the cultivation market progressing?" Wang Qingshan asked, his gaze fixed on Wang Chongtian.

"Everything is proceeding as planned," Chongtian replied respectfully.

"How long will it take to fully restore the market to its former scale?"

"Approximately ten years."

"That’s too slow!" Qingshan said sharply, his brows furrowing.

"Don’t worry, Ancestor. I’ll recruit more laborers and send some of the family’s wandering cultivator retainers to assist. We’ll complete the restoration as quickly as possible," Chongtian responded, bowing deeply.

Hearing this, Qingshan’s expression softened slightly. After a moment, he continued, "I’ve heard that the Yun Clan is also preparing to establish a cultivation market of their own."
