Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 168 Compromise and comfort!

"I won't memorize any of them! And it will take me at least ten years to read through all the books! You won't let me spend all my time studying! Don't I want to practice martial arts? Don't I want to learn military affairs? Don't I want to make money? Don't I want to have leisure and entertainment? Don't I want to... marry and have children? Do you want me to become a nerd? No, a breathing library?"

Liu Feiyun did not give in and said excitedly.

"Hey, hey, hey! You kid! Don't get excited! I didn't say you can't bargain! I just asked you to read a little bit of books! You act like I'm going to kill you!"

"That's a little bit of books? Those one hundred books are several thousand volumes! Enough to fill up several floors of my Phantom Tower!"

Seeing that Liu Feiyun was about to go berserk again, Zhou Banxia quickly changed his words and said, "Yes, it's quite a lot! Yes, it's quite a lot! That's all right! I'm doing this for your own good! You really took my kindness as ill will! How about this! You don't have to memorize these books! But you must finish reading them within five years! And you must reach the level of knowing five out of ten questions!"

"Ten years! Not even a year less! You can't really expect me to read it through without paying attention!"

"Really? I thought you were so different, but it turns out you are just... Never mind! I'll let you do what you want! You're not forcing me to study anyway! You must remember that I will test you every ten days! If you can't give me a satisfactory result, I will charge you interest! Go, go! Go and do your thing! Stay away from me! Otherwise, I'll be upset when you see me!"

Facing Zhou Banxia, ​​who was moody and unpredictable, Liu Feiyun felt indescribably uncomfortable and even regretted it a little:

Why was I so rude in the beginning, asking him if he had any special skills! And treating him like a treasure buried in the mud! And treating him like the welfare grandfather in the cool novel! How could this be the welfare grandfather who could help me soar to the sky! This is clearly the teacher who chased me to endorse my lessons in my previous life!

Liu Feiyun bowed with a depressed look on his face and went downstairs leisurely.

Looking at the mountains surrounding the valley, Zhou Banxia suddenly sighed softly and whispered to himself: "Is it really worth doing this? Is it really possible? Can it really... Alas!"

In a cave in the Calling Name Valley, Chu Bihe looked at Liu Feiyun who had just entered with trepidation, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, that Zhou Ban...Xian just asked you to study?"

Liu Feiyun nodded and said helplessly: "Yes! He gave me a list of 100 books and told me to read them all within 10 years and remember at least half of the content!"

"One hundred books? Ten years? It doesn't seem like too much!" said Liu Shijie on the side.

"Uncle! That's not a hundred volumes, it's a hundred works! Just the thirty-seven works I know about, that's nearly two thousand volumes. Each volume must have at least tens of thousands of words! How many tens of thousands of words would there be in nearly two thousand volumes?"

"Two thousand volumes! Oh my god! That's so many! I, your fourth uncle, have lived for most of my life, and I haven't read even two hundred volumes, let alone two thousand! My poor nephew! You're in for it now!"

Liu Shihao heaved a sigh of relief and comforted his wife, "You should be relieved now! Ten years of hard study! At least he can keep his son alive for another ten years! How can a person that a Heavenly Rank expert wants to protect die so easily! Hehe! Could it be that this old freak Zhou wants my son to win the first place in the imperial examination? These old freaks at the Heavenly Rank are really hard to guess what they are thinking!"

Liu Shijie also tried to comfort her, "Yes, yes! Those elusive Heavenly Rank experts, also known as Quasi-Immortals, Semi-Immortals, and Gods in the secular world, don't care much about the lives of people below the Heavenly Rank, but they won't kill innocent people! Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law! Who knows, this could be a great opportunity for your nephew! How many people they would like to be mediocre? You should be happy, Sister-in-law!"

Chu Bihe was still a little uneasy, and hesitantly said: "But look at what Zhou Banxian said, sometimes he was talking about this, sometimes he was talking about that! Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was angry! How can I... can I... feel at ease!"

"Alas! Third sister-in-law! The tempers of Heaven-level experts are so weird and unpredictable! They are just like old children! We have to coax them to play! ... Um! Also, the identity of this blind Heaven-level expert Zhou Banxia must not be leaked out. You can just treat him as a crazy and crazy scholar now! Yun'er, remember to try to give him some liberal tasks. I think he won't refuse!"

Liu Feiyun nodded, comforted his mother, and then left the cave!

In fact, he didn't have the time to play the identity guessing game with Zhou Banxia and his parents. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with:

The boys and girls recruited from the territory and the children bought from the county town must be assigned to different teams according to their age, gender and specialties, so that they can be trained in different directions; each of the planned workshops must also be located in the outer valley, and a list of materials needed for construction must be drawn up for purchase. Among them, the Zaojiao Workshop and the Lingjia Workshop need to be handled by him personally; in addition, the re-planning of the outer valley's construction plan is also imminent, after all, there are still one or two thousand people waiting to enter the valley!

This busy schedule lasted for several days.

A few days later, many temporary huts were built in the outer valley of Huanming Valley, countless materials were piled up, and thousands of people poured in. For a time, the entire outer valley became a busy construction site again.

Huanming Valley was busy, but Liu Feiyun was free! It was because he had finished all the things that needed to be done by himself, and all that was left was for his subordinates to implement them according to his instructions and orders.

As soon as he had some free time, Liu Feiyun went to Anping County again. Following the recruitment model in the territory, he recruited more than 200 boys and girls aged ten to fifteen, and bought more than 200 children aged six to nine.

The boys and girls must be locals in Anping County, while the children are not limited to their regions of origin. In addition, these boys and girls still retain their civilian status and are not sold into slavery, while the children, regardless of their previous status, will from now on be slaves of his Liu family.

During this visit to Anping County, Liu Feiyun also tricked Gao Jinda into coming here! At least that's what Gao Jinda thought.

"My Lord! You are so disrespectful! How could you lie to me like this! You said that I would only come to this broken valley to help out, see a patient, prescribe some medicine, and then you would let me go back! But now, you are holding me back and won't let me leave! You are really something!"
