The Crazy Son-In-Law

That afternoon, the school auditorium meeting room was put into use for the first time, with dozens of people seated inside. They were either Xiao Shun’s confidants or solid collaborators of the “New School Society,” with no outsiders among them. Xiao Shun didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point after walking up to the podium.

“Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is the school’s unveiling day. I called you here today just to give you an early notice!” Upon hearing this, someone tentatively asked, “Could it be that Mr. Xiao is planning to appoint us in the school?” Xiao Shun nodded, “That’s right. None of you are outsiders. The reason I established the New School Society was not for personal gain but to build a better cultivation platform for our generation of cultivators!”

“A better cultivation platform?” The crowd looked puzzled at Xiao Shun. Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled slightly and began to explain, “I dared to confront the Old School Society not out of recklessness, but because their dominance has caught the government’s attention. There has always been a saying ‘martial arts challenging the law.’ Nowadays, the Old School Society seems to be heading down that crooked path.” As soon as he finished speaking, except for a few informed individuals, everyone was shocked. It turned out that the decrease in resources and assistance recently obtained through government channels by some cultivators was due to this looming sign.

While everyone was in awe, Xiao Shun continued, “I won’t mistreat you by appointing you in the school. I will personally cover all cultivation costs for you.” “May I ask, Mr. Xiao, what kind of support resources you can provide us?” This question came from another master of the Trinity Martial Arts Academy, Ye Qiu, the elder brother of Ye Xun.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled faintly and then deeply looked at the people below before slowly speaking, “This involves the platform I just mentioned.” He had mentioned something about a “cultivation platform” to the group earlier, and naturally, everyone showed great interest in it. Seeing this, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but feel delighted. As long as these people showed interest, he was confident that he could bind them tightly to his cause with his subsequent arrangements. With this in mind, he no longer beat around the bush and explained in general terms the set of regulations he had thought of some time ago.

“The management system of the New School Society will not follow the Old School Society’s ‘strength first’ approach. Everything will be based on the contributions you make to the organization, and rewards will be given accordingly. In the future, you can exchange honor points for pellets needed for cultivation at Pellet Pavilion.” “Contributions to the organization?” “Rewards based on contributions?” “Pellet Pavilion?” The crowd below was now completely baffled and confused by these three terms.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun explained loudly to clear the confusion. “New School Society will periodically assign tasks, which will be evaluated by senior members after completion. You can then exchange the evaluations for honor points and use them to obtain various cultivation resources at Pellet Pavilion.” As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent in shock.

After a while, someone asked, “Mr. Xiao, how many types of pellets are there in Pellet Pavilion?” “There is a wide variety, everything you can imagine!” This answer came not from Xiao Shun but from Ning Zhiyuan sitting below. Instantly, everyone understood that with Ning Zhiyuan, a master of alchemy, joining the New School Society, the resources of pellets far exceeded those of the Old School Society, which was beyond doubt.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“In the future, Mr. Ning and my disciple Song Linger will serve as the main and deputy senior members of Pellet Pavilion, while Hu Bugui and Yang Tiancai will be in charge of Pellet Pavilion. There will also be cultivation courses on pellet refinement held in school, and if anyone is interested, they can attend.” Xiao Shun said lightly as he looked at the few individuals mentioned earlier. Song Linger and Yang Tiancai, on the one hand, expressed a helpless expression because they knew they would be busy in the future. On the other hand, Ning Zhiyuan and Hu Bugui, master and disciple, were ecstatic. Xiao Shun had assigned them such crucial roles right from the start, a trust that truly made them pleasantly surprised.

After announcing these arrangements, Xiao Shun signaled the end of the meeting. He had already conveyed much of what needed to be said, and what was left unsaid was not the right time yet. In any case, he had laid out the conditions, and how others chose was up to them. After sending off a group of joyous people, Xiao Shun walked over to Qin Zhenyu and asked with concern, “Mr. Qin, how is your health?” “I should be able to recover in a few days!” Qin Zhenyu smiled gratefully at Xiao Shun. After all, to treat him, Xiao Shun had even brought out two invaluable pellets.

“That’s good.” Xiao Shun smiled and nodded. “I had worried before about the difficulties the New School Society would face in its initial stages, but you have managed to resolve these difficulties in your way. Especially the resource allocation method you mentioned just now was truly eye-opening.” Qin Zhenyu praised Xiao Shun’s plan wholeheartedly.

“The reason the Old School Society lost people’s trust in the end was because of uneven resource distribution. I certainly won’t follow their old path. To completely remove any grievances and make people content, this reward mechanism is undoubtedly a proper choice.” Xiao Shun sighed.

After thinking for a while, Qin Zhenyu lightly patted Xiao Shun’s shoulder. “Indeed, but this rule needs to be carefully discussed. I heard what you said earlier and found several loopholes, like the task assignment and distribution process. If it’s unfair, it will invite criticism.” With age comes wisdom, and Qin Zhenyu’s few words accurately pinpointed the problem, earning Xiao Shun’s admiration.

Seeing Xiao Shun frown in silence, Qin Zhenyu knew he was pondering the critical issues. So, he suggested, “Don’t rush this matter. You can accelerate setting up Pellet Pavilion and make it known to the public as soon as possible. This way, it will be easier for you to rally allies.” “Hehe, there’s no need to worry, everything is going according to plan.” Xiao Shun chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenyu smiled faintly, bid farewell, and left.
