Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 489 Reborn

Regarding the specific division of labor and subsequent job setting, Lu Wensheng did not interfere too much - he was well versed in management and understood that doing everything himself was not the best strategy. He always had to let go and let the people below gain experience and have a certain degree of autonomy so that they could truly grow.

Moreover, taking over sensitive matters such as placing demon cultivators and planning to build a new sect also carries the meaning of cultivating and examining available talents and letting them naturally come to the party. If he were to interfere in everything, it would be bad.

If anyone knew of Lu Wensheng's intention to "cultivate trusted individuals," they'd probably be inconsolable, secretly grumbling, "Master, do you even need to deliberately "handle" or "cultivate" them? Look at all those around you, from the elite members of the Discipline Hall to the geniuses of the various sects, to these newly reborn demon cultivators. Who isn't eagerly watching you, terrified that they won't be able to serve you? Who wouldn't want to be one of your trusted "trusted individuals"? It's like sitting on a mountain of gold and still figuring out how to make it!

"By the way, have you thought of a name for the new sect?" After Lu Wensheng finished his business, his tone became a little more relaxed. He looked at the temporary representatives elected by the demon cultivators with some curiosity.

As soon as these words were spoken, several demon cultivator representatives who had been relatively calm in the audience all looked away at the same time, with an unnatural blush appearing on their cheeks and ears. They pushed each other, appearing a little shy or even... bashful?

Lu Wensheng looked puzzled, his eyebrows raised slightly. No, I just asked about the sect's name, why is he blushing so hard? Could it be that they've chosen some earth-shattering, embarrassingly bizarre name? Like "Demon Lord Reborn Revenge Alliance" or something like that?

An older, more stable demon cultivator was pushed out by his companions. He cleared his throat, the suspicious blush still lingering on his face. His voice was subtly nervous and respectful as he hesitantly replied, "To... To the leader, we've discussed this for a long time and feel... that the name 'Chengguang' is a good choice."

"Chengguang?" Lu Wensheng repeated it subconsciously, and immediately felt relieved - fortunately, it was not those weird names he had thought of.

But this name... What instantly flashed through his mind was a certain "Orange Light" game platform that Yan Qingshu had mentioned before. He couldn't help but laugh. His imagination was really unparalleled.

It seems that the demon cultivators are implying that "we must embrace the light and forge ahead", which is quite positive energy.

Seeing that they had no objections, Lu Wensheng nodded in agreement, "Chengguang... 'Chengtian's blessing' and 'walking towards the light' have excellent meanings. From now on, we shall call this place Chengguang Sect."

They looked at Lu Wensheng, who had a look of realization on his face and nodded seriously, but his eyes were still clear and pure, as if he had not realized the more direct and warm respect and dependence that the group of demon cultivators secretly concealed behind his name. The demon cultivators felt a little disappointed for some reason - the leader was indeed bright and clear-minded, and he didn't think that way.

The leader’s reaction is this cute/

They exchanged glances with each other and tacitly agreed not to explain further - let the word "Chengguang" maintain this perfect respect and distance. It is good enough for the leader to understand the superficial meaning, and they themselves should be clear about the deeper, almost religious sense of belonging.

Lu Wensheng really didn’t think much about it and thought that as long as the name was decided, it would be fine.

He handed over all the trivial but important matters of the Xuanyin Sect...now the Chengguang Sect, such as the subsequent detailed management, resource integration, and disciple arrangement, to the increasingly calm and capable Wu Feipeng, and asked Duan Jiashu to assist him.

After making all the arrangements, he planned to return to the Wenxian Sect first to report the situation here to his master Jun Ning and the elders. Although he had spent quite a while in the formation, not much time had actually passed in the outside world. However, he still missed the misty mountains of the Wenxian Sect, the familiar plants and trees, as well as the teachers and companions in the sect.

On the Xuanyin Sect side, Jin Jianxian and Li Ruixi did not come along this time.

As far as Lu Wensheng knew, Li Ruixi had recently been drafted by her master and was busy helping to inventory the medicine storehouse and stockpile all kinds of medicinal materials needed for healing and cultivation. At the same time, he had to calculate the huge expenses that might be incurred by the upcoming war. He was so busy that he couldn't get away.

What is even more surprising is Ji Yanli's evaluation of Jin Jianxian - he said that Jin Jianxian has changed a lot. Now he often accompanies Uncle Bai Wenche, handles affairs in a very organized manner, and his cultivation progress is also rapid. Although he is low-key, his true strength is probably not inferior to any of his direct disciples.

With some anticipation and curiosity, Lu Wensheng returned to Wenxian Sect first to report to his elders.

As expected, Uncle Master Tao Yin took every opportunity to emphasize that Song Wen was "energetic" and "needed more training." The hidden message was too obvious: he wanted Lu Wensheng to not be polite and to treat his useless apprentice like a donkey in the production team, assigning him all the dirty, tiring and hard work, and making sure he had no energy to run around and cause trouble.

Uncle-master Bai Wenche was also there. He looked less frivolous and cynical than before, with a more steady look between his brows, and he finally had the dignified aura that an elder should have.

But as soon as he saw Lu Wensheng, his fox-like eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with the excitement of discovering a rare treasure. He looked Lu Wensheng up and down, and said in amazement. The look in his eyes was still so strange that it made Lu Wensheng's scalp tingle slightly - Uncle, your calmness really doesn't allow for close scrutiny...

His nature seemed to remain unchanged, he was just more reserved.

Outside the sect's main hall, Lu Wensheng happened to meet Jin Jianxian who was working.

However, after not seeing him for some time, this junior brother has undergone a complete transformation.

He was still wearing the blue and white robe worn by direct disciples of the Wenxian Sect. The cuffs, collar, and hem were embroidered with golden flowing cloud patterns that symbolized his status. It was exactly the same as when they first met.

However, the same clothes, when worn on him in the past, always looked like a gorgeous yet restrained protective shell, which made him look timid and shrinking, making him easily ignored.

But now, the clothes seemed to have truly merged with him, and could no longer conceal the brilliance that flourished from underneath.

He has a handsome appearance, fair skin, and a high nose bridge, which makes him look very heroic.

The black eyes that used to be always drooping and evasive, as quiet as ebony, were now bright and firm, looking straight ahead calmly, revealing a quiet confidence.

Her beautiful black hair was meticulously tied up high with a jade crown, which made her look more energetic. She looked like a pink and white hibiscus that had finally broken free from its restraints and stretched out in the wind, heroic, elegant and outstanding.

Seeing Lu Wensheng, Jin Jianxian put down the jade slip in his hand and a smile broke out on his face. He was still a little shy, but no longer felt inferior or evasive. Instead, he bowed and saluted gracefully: "Junior Brother Lu." His voice was clear and his demeanor was calm.

Lu Wensheng clearly felt that the lingering sense of alienation and self-doubt in Jin Jianxian had dissipated.

His presence is no longer demonstrated by the conspicuous clothing he inherited from his parents, but comes from the strength and composure that has settled in his heart.

He bravely faced and embraced his past shortcomings, completely reconciled with that obscure knot in his heart, truly emerged from his cocoon and became a butterfly, radiating a dazzling brilliance that was unique to him.

Those drooping eyes finally looked at the world squarely.
