Years later.

Zhou Shu returned to Xianshu City.

The streets are still prosperous, the vitality is still strong, and there is more vitality. Zhou Shu felt it a little and then went to Wanmu Pavilion with confidence.

Hao Ruoyan had been waiting for a long time and walked up with a calm look on his face, "Sir Shu, you are back."

Zhou Shu looked at her and smiled, "What's wrong with Ruoyan, do you seem unhappy?"

Hao Ruoyan shook her head quickly and squeezed out a smile, "No, Master Shu."

Zhou Shu nodded gently and said in a gentle voice, "I have been away for more than ten years, and I feel that Xianshu City has changed a lot again. Thank you for your hard work, Ruoyan."

Hao Ruoyan shook his head and said, "It's not the case. Master Shu doesn't know that it's easy to manage Xianshucheng now. He doesn't have to do anything to develop smoothly. Ruoyan has been much freer and went out to practice for several months not long ago."

"oh?"

Zhou Shu was slightly surprised and felt something was wrong, "It's best to be idle. Ruoyan and the messenger were sent out?"

Hao Ruoyan nodded and said solemnly, "After receiving the instructions from Master Shu, he sent people to go there immediately. There are more than 700 foreign races we know, and all of them have come to send messages. In addition, the messengers of those realms near Xianshu City have returned. They said that those realms have not encountered impersonated messengers, but we also solemnly reminded them."

Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "When the worlds near Xianshu City are close to, they will ask us clearly when they receive news. It is not very meaningful to pretend to be us. In the worlds with cloud sound and business paths, we can also grasp some situations, mainly those who are far away but have no business paths, and it is difficult to communicate, and it is easy to be exploited by others."

Hao Ruoyan nodded and said slowly, "Yes, Master Shu, this is Ruoyan's fault."

Looking at her serious face, Zhou Shu frowned unconsciously, "What does it have to do with you? Stop talking nonsense."

"Yes, Ruoyan is the only management of the official path in Xianshu City. You should understand these things and you should prepare early."

Hao Ruoyan said stubbornly, "After Master Shu became the founder of Taoism, Ruoyan should have thought that someone would cheat on Master Shu's name, instead of waiting for Master Shu to go to Long Kingdom to find out that after Master Shu sent back the news, Ruoyan carefully checked around Xianshu City, and found that it was not the first time that he had impersonated Master Shu and the envoy of Xianshu City. At least twenty-three realms have been deceived. Although it was not a big event like summoning all races, they were all scammers who cheated money and things, it also had some bad effects on Xianshu City. These were Ruoyan's negligence and should never have happened, but it has happened now. It was me who made a mistake. Now that Master Shu is back, Ruoyan plans to..."

"Okay, I understand, you don't have to say anything more."

Zhou Shu waved his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Ruoyan, the heavens are different from the Xuanhuang Realm, and Xianshu City is also different from the Heyin School. You and I have learned from scratch. I have made countless mistakes in this evil thought, and you have studied for a shorter time and have taken on greater responsibilities. You have always been conscientious, steady and cautious. It is normal to make some mistakes now. You can learn from your mistakes and gain wisdom. Just remember them in the future."

Hao Ruoyan looked at Zhou Shu and hesitated, "But, this..."

"But what, have you said in the city that you are responsible for?"

Zhou Shu said with a relaxed look on his face, "Don't care about these things. You continue to be your city lord. It's my fault for these things to happen. I'll just explain them one by one. You should do everything else, and I should do it, and it's impossible for you to be responsible."

Hao Ruoyan whispered, "Ruoyan knows that Master Shu is for my own good, but Master Shu has let Ruoyan manage Xianshucheng. There is something wrong with Xianshucheng. It is Ruoyan's fault. If he makes a mistake, he will be punished..."

"Punishment means continuing to be the city lord and getting beaten a few more times."

Zhou Shu gently patted Hao Ruoyan twice and said with a smile, "I think you have been punished."

Hao Ruoyan's face turned red, "Shi Shu, how can this work?"

Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "I'm not talking about these two things. You said you went out alone for several months before and this is not like what you can do. Is it because you are too self-blame? Well, I believe you have learned a lesson. Let's continue to talk about things. How are the sects in Xianshu City recently?"

Hao Ruoyan calmed down, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. "It's all good, but the Cihang Sect is developing very fast, and now there are tens of thousands of formal disciples."

"There are tens of thousands of formal disciples?"

Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "Is it the reason for Yuan Heyin or Jing Tianshan?"

Hao Ruoyan paused and said with concern, "It seems that it was Elder Yuan's request. She told me some of it that she wanted to revive the Cihang Sect as soon as possible. Ruoyan was a little worried. Elder Yuan had to force the growth. Although Xianshu City was getting more and more famous and more practitioners, are these practitioners really suitable for the Cihang Sect? Many of them still don't understand the Compassion Sutra and cannot use the power of Compassion."

Zhou Shu paused, "Let her go first, let's watch more, this situation should not last."

Hao Ruoyan nodded slightly, "Ruoyan understands."

Zhou Shu looked at her and said, "Don't worry too much about these. As long as they are in the Xianshu City Formation Realm, they must abide by the rules of Xianshu City, and they will not do anything big. But we should look at some Yuan Heyin more. What she needs more now is to practice, not to revitalize the sect. If you have time, you will talk to her, and you will not lack any resources."

Hao Ruoyan said in a gentle voice, "Ruoyan understands. By the way, Master Shu, there are many sects in Xianshu City now. Does Master Shu plan to build one?"

"Build a sect?"

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned and thought of something, "Similar to Cihang Sect, is it just a sect that specializes in learning Shuzhidao?"

Hao Ruoyan nodded, "Yes, the temple is very good, but it is definitely necessary to carry forward a great path, right? It is easier to exert the power of the group, everyone gathers together, has common interests and goals, and can study more magic tricks suitable for Shuzhidao, as well as magic weapons and talismans, etc. The temple is suitable for learning theory, while the sect is a place to turn theory into practice."

Zhou Shu looked at her and understood something, "Did you do these in the Xuanhuang Realm in the past?"

Hao Ruoyan said first, "Well, this was the case with the Hokkien Sect back then, but the Hokkien Sect now is not suitable. Master Shu needs a larger and broader sect."

"Oh, I actually forgot it," Zhou Shu sighed unconsciously, "You have done more than me and better than me in terms of spreading the word. For more than a thousand years after I left the Xuanhuang Realm, you have supported Shu Zhidao and the Heyin School. I haven't thought of what you said. Ruoyan, I want to ask you to do what you did in the Xuanhuang Realm back then and in Xianshu City again, okay?"

Hao Ruoyan nodded seriously, "Of course, Ruoyan will definitely do it."

Zhou Shu said unconsciously, "Ruoyan, I gave you another burden, won't you be tired, aren't you?"

Hao Ruoyan smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Ruoyan doesn't feel tired. This is what Ruoyan likes to do."
