Chapter 28 You don't know who he is?
After Chen Tongyue used his sword to cut down trees, he hovered the greatsword beside him.
He couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Liu He, this menial disciple.
Given his status, Liang Jin, who oversees the Guanwaishan Forest Farm, would naturally help him handle the aftermath.
"Wei Peng, go find those menial workers from Qixia Peak. They will take care of the timber. You just need to direct them from the side."
If you have any questions, come to me.
After Chen Tongyue finished speaking, he lightly leaped onto the greatsword, his movements light and agile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."
Wei Peng thanked him again.
"Don't be so polite. We should visit each other more often in the future."
Chen Tongyue bid farewell and rode away on his flying sword.

Liu He saw that he had cut down the tree with his sword without saying a word, and then ignored him.
My heart is filled with helplessness.
What can he do?
Since he was of low status and his words carried little weight, he could only inform Wu Shao and hand the matter over to him.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask the name of that senior brother from earlier?"
He asked Wei Peng.
Even if Wu Shao knew the identities of others, he would have no way to handle the situation.
"Brother Chen Tongyue from Wanqifeng Engraving Hall."
When Wei Peng mentioned this name, his face was full of respect and envy, with a hint of pride.
It's his good fortune to be able to establish a relationship with such a person.
Chen Tongyue?
Based on Liu He's experience, he had never heard of this name.
He lowered his voice, his curiosity tinged with gossip, and asked, "What's the background of this Senior Brother Chen? Does he have any connections or powerful backers?"
An ordinary inner disciple wouldn't be so domineering.
Upon hearing this, Wei Peng's expression turned slightly displeased: "Connections and backing? Senior Brother Chen himself is a network; you can't even imagine his talent."
Since you're unwilling to help, I'll go find someone else.
After saying that, Wei Peng turned around and used his lightness technique to leave.
He and Liu He were in the same batch of menial disciples who were officially promoted. They had only been practicing magic for two months, and their lightness technique was still clumsy and not very proficient.
After he was officially appointed, he worked in the forging workshop of Wanqi Peak, sorting and crushing spirit iron ore.
He learned by chance that Chen Tongyue was from the same hometown, the same ordinary county.
He befriended Chen Tongyue, and after some conversation, they discovered that they were not only from the same hometown but also had some complicated connections. The county town didn't have many residents, and everyone was related by marriage or other connections.
Therefore, Chen Tongyue took good care of him.
This time, I'm helping him build a house on Wanqi Peak. There are senior servants living on Wanqi Peak, and the environment is much better than on Qixia Peak.
Qixia Peak has a large number of servants, and the rooms are densely packed like a honeycomb, making it the worst living environment in the entire sect.
Wei Peng was not qualified to live on Wanqi Peak, but Chen Tongyue helped him get a place to build a house through connections.
Because it was against the rules, there was no proper permit for processing the transaction.

Deep in the forest, there is a wooden house.
This is where Wu Shao usually stays and handles affairs.
He spends most of his daytime here and returns to his residence on Wangyue Peak at night.
Liu He used his lightness technique to leap through the forest, rising and falling as he arrived outside the wooden house.
He was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard a rhythmic creaking sound, like the shaking of wooden tables and chairs.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear suppressed breathing sounds.
"this?"
No wonder the door was closed.
The door to this wooden house is usually left open.
Liu He stepped back, intending to come back later. But then the wooden door creaked open, and Song Qian, her face flushed, walked out.
She didn't say anything, her hands unconsciously smoothing her clothes, and she used her lightness technique to leave.
"Liu He, is something wrong?"
Wu Shao sat comfortably in the chair, reaching out to tighten his belt.
He was used to daily dual cultivation, and this was just a sudden whim seeking excitement.
Recalling the feeling he had just experienced, he felt refreshed and decided to try new techniques next time.
He didn't care if he was caught. The envious looks from others would only excite him more.
"Senior Brother Wu, just now an inner disciple came to my forest area and cut down five century-old trees without saying a word, without any talisman or permit."
Liu He pretended that he hadn't seen anything.
"Is that so?"
Wu Shao frowned. Taking timber without proper authorization was no small matter.
"The man said he didn't need any talisman, he just needed to tell Senior Brother Liang his identity. He's from Wanqi Peak, and his name is Chen Tongyue."
Chen Tongyue?
Wu Shao couldn't recall who this person was for a moment: "What does he look like? How old is he?"
"He's quite young, with striking features and handsome appearance. He's flying on a large, silver-white sword."
Upon hearing this distinctive feature, Wu Shao immediately thought of the person: "From the Engraving Hall of Wanqi Peak?"
"Yes."
"You don't know who he is? He's the personal disciple of the Master of the Engraving Hall!"
With this status, not only would Liang Jin, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, treat him with respect and as an equal, but even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would treat him with the utmost courtesy. Even though Chen Tongyue was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Seeing Liu He's blank expression, Wu Shao started to ask, "Do you know about a personal disciple?"
"I've heard of it. Our sect can only accept late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators or Golden Core cultivators as direct disciples."
Unlike the distinction between menial servants and outer/inner disciples based on cultivation level, this position only requires being noticed by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator for their talent.
Liu He also heard that the treatment of personal disciples was much better than that of inner disciples, and they were the envy of all disciples in the sect.
"That's right. The sect will vigorously cultivate its personal disciples, so their breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage is a sure thing."
Speaking of which, he and I were in the same batch of trial cultivators who entered the sect.
He also had a low-grade spiritual root and didn't have a smooth start. He finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and awakened a special talent physique, and was taken in as a personal disciple by the head of the Engraving Hall.
"That was truly a leap over the dragon gate!"
Wu Shao was very envious of him.
Both Wu Shao and Chen Tongyue entered the sect at the same time and have the same inferior spiritual root, but Wu Shao is still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, while Chen Tongyue is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Liu He also envied the treatment of personally taught disciples.
His innate physical gifts were not far off.
It will only take him two years to fully refine the Earth Element Pearl and awaken the Earth Element Spirit Body.
However, he was unsure whether the Earth Elemental Spirit Body's talent would be valued enough to warrant being accepted as a personal disciple. According to ancient records, the Earth Elemental Spirit Body was a common elemental spirit body, belonging to the most ordinary among physical talents.
"Senior Brother Wu, what should we do with those five logs?"
The timber resources in Liuhelin area are limited. What should be done if five century-old trees are missing?
"I'll go talk to Senior Brother Liang. These timbers can only be distributed among the various forest areas as part of daily losses."
Wu Shao knew that even Liang Jin couldn't do anything to Chen Tongyue.
A few pieces of timber are a minor matter; they can simply treat them as routine wear and tear and handle the aftermath for Chen Tongyue.
"it is good."
Liu He responded.
He doesn't care how it's handled, as long as he's not held responsible.

time flies.
Liu He's life was not affected by Chen Tongyue; he continued his spiritual practice as usual and guarded the forest as needed.
He joined the sect eight months ago and received three more spirit stones.
Excluding the one spirit stone he had previously spent a huge sum of money to cultivate the queen ant larvae, he had saved up seventeen spirit stones.
"In another month, I will have enough for twenty spirit stones."
He was secretly delighted.
With spirit stones in my pocket, I have no worries.
Another twenty days have passed.
The queen ant pupa, which had been silent for a long time, has finally emerged from its cocoon!
