X-Dragon Era-Chapter 641 - s Astounded_3

In the previous life, although Chu Rui was the true powerholder of the first family, in fact... what she was responsible for was not things like combat. The martial power of the first family was destined to be in the hands of Po Kong, and no family would be an exception to this, no one would hand over the control of military power to an outsider.

What Chu Rui actually managed was the economic affairs. At the height of her power, Chu Rui was the governor of over ten thousand super cities! Responsible for all the city's development and operations, her capability was ridiculously strong.

Yi Luo Xiang was also very intelligent, but she applied her wisdom in different areas, considering things more comprehensively, more broadly.

Upon Chu Rui's earnest request, Xin Yun immediately agreed and took her into the Sky-opening Sect. As for Po Kong's Sky Family, Xin Yun couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore, because talent, no matter the era, is always the most valuable.

After joining the Sky-opening Sect, Chu Rui, this girl of only about fourteen years of age, was directly appointed by Xin Yun as the head of the finance department, responsible for the economic development and operations of the thirty-six super cities under the jurisdiction of the Sky-opening Sect, increasing its financial income. As for how exactly to do it, Xin Yun had no intention of meddling. It was good if she achieved results, but it didn't matter if she didn't; after all, it was a business with no capital at stake, and no matter what, it wouldn't result in a loss.

Upon hearing that thirty-six super cities were under her management, Chu Rui could hardly believe her ears. These were not thirty-six toys, but thirty-six super cities comparable to Mountain Sea City, and Xin Yun had casually thrown such an important task to her, showing not only his trust and care for her but also his boldness!

As the concerned party, Chu Rui had absolute confidence in her abilities. If not, she would always be a loser. In fact... confidence is the foundation of success. A true strong person, no matter what the situation, will never lose their confidence, and in reality, they do have that ability and capital.

However, no matter how you put it, this was still too exaggerated. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, one is still naive, typically still nestled in their mother's arms acting spoiled. Yet now, Xin Yun had placed such a heavy burden on her shoulders, a boldness Chu Rui had never anticipated.

When announcing the joining, Chu Rui thought that perhaps Xin Yun would arrange for her to manage a small city, and that she would definitely be supervised in action. After making a proposal, it would have to be submitted, then only after everyone checked and approved could it be implemented.

But now it seemed that Xin Yun had no such intentions at all, and handed over a big mess of things directly to her. Thirty-six great cities, six hundred million people were now directly under her jurisdiction. This was an unparalleled right but also a huge and heavy burden!

One could say, from the moment Xin Yun's order was given, the thirty-six super cities and the population of around six hundred million were in the palm of Chu Rui's hand. Her single thought could make millions ecstatic, and one idea could leave millions crying in pain!

Although when compared to her previous life, where she controlled tens of thousands of super cities and billions of lives, this was nothing, the current scale of the Sky-opening Sect didn't even match that of a ninth-rate small family. But the Sky-opening Sect was just established, still very young. As long as it continued to develop, one day, the power in Chu Rui's hands would surpass that of her previous life.

After joining the Sky-opening Sect, as per tradition, Xin Yun gave each of them a replica of the Taiji Diagram and taught them how to use it. With the Taiji Diagram in hand, they could escape any situation, and with the source of eternal youth and life—the Kongtong Seal—all worries were gone.

Watching the two girls store away the Taiji Diagrams, Xin Yun said in a deep voice, "Alright, time is of the essence; we can't afford to waste even a second of time, we must make use of every moment, so... let's get moving quickly!"

Saying this, Xin Yun paused briefly, organized his words, and then continued, "Zixia... your mission is very important. There are three months until the World Academy Challenge, and within this period, you must set out immediately, thoroughly investigate the details of all the competitors in this contest."

"Hmm..." With a firm nod, Zixia also knew that this was extremely important. Three months' time for over three thousand teams, the workload was simply immeasurable. Fortunately... Xin Yun had given her the Taiji Diagram, otherwise, it would have been an impossible task.

However, even with the Taiji Diagram, the task was not easy. Seeing Zixia's hesitant expression, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "I know there are many difficulties, but... these are what you must face and overcome. Aside from money, we can't provide anything else. If you need manpower assistance, you must find and recruit it yourself. All I want is the results. You are in full charge of the Intelligence Department, and however you handle it is up to you."

Hearing this, Zixia's expression became even more solemn, but her eyes sparkled with excitement. Difficult... extremely difficult, but if it were not, there would be no fun. Although it was hard to accomplish, building everything from nothing was precisely what she hoped for. With that in mind, what was there to complain about?
