<h4>Chapter 647: Meixiu’s New Role</h4>
“I actually do have one. What kind of person is the lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain?” Yuan asked her.
“The lord, huh? Why do you want to know about him?” The Manager held a mysterious smile on her face.
“Out of curiosity, I guess,” Yuan said.
“Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about the lord. However, if you live here for long enough, you might get to see him.”
“Is that so?”
“Anyways, if you have questions about the mountain, you can contact me at any time of the day. Here’s my business card.” The Manager handed her card to them.
“Jenny Zhang…” Yuan read the name on the business card.
“You can just call me Jenny.”
After shaking hands with each other, Manager Jenny left the scene.
“Since this finished earlier than expected, I’ll go spar with Li Jinxgi now,” Yuan said as he stood up.
“What are you going to do now?”

“I’m not sure, honestly… In fact, I’m wondering what my role— my purpose is now. Am I still your caretaker? It really doesn’t feel like it since I have been spending most of my time cultivating…” Meixiu asked him.
Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, “We’re no longer in a small home with just the two of us. There’s Lulu and the others, not to mention the faction. Furthermore, I will be spending most of my time in Cultivation Online now, so I won’t need any attention. Instead of remaining as my caretaker, why don’t you do something different? Like being the manager of the faction?”
“So basically what my mother is doing?” Meixiu asked.
Even though Meifeng is still the Yu Family’s caretaker, she doesn’t actually do any caretaking at all, leaving all of the chores for the other servants under her. Instead, she manages the Yu Family’spany, such as doing their finances and scheduling their appointments, which has nothing to do with being a caretaker— at least not a normal one.
“If you put it that way, I guess so. After all, you’re Miss Meifeng’s daughter, and I trust you the most when ites to these kinds of things. You’re smart, responsible, and hardworking. I cannot think of anyone else more fitting than you to manage my— our faction.” Yuan said with a smile.
“…”
Meixiu was left speechless by Yuan’s trust in her, even blushing a bit from hispliments.
“Okay. I will see what I can do.” Meixiu nodded with a resolute face.
Then she realized something.
“What about the actual chores? Who will do them now?” Meixiu asked a momentter.
“That’s a good question…” Yuan pondered for a bit before speaking, “Maybe we should do it ourselves.”
“I would hire people to do the chores, but we’re kind of short on money after moving to this ce, and it’ll be a good way to discipline ourselves.”
“Discipline…?” Meixiu raised her eyebrows.
She cannot imagine Wang Ming and the others doing chores, as they’re all from powerful and wealthy families, so they’re probably used to having other people handling their chores.
“Let’s gather everyone first,” Yuan said.
Sometimeter, everyone gathered in the main lobby.
“What’s the matter? Why did you gather everyone, Yuan?” Wang Ming asked him, as they were in the middle of training when they were called.
“Well, I’ve been talking to Meixiu about our future and how we should take care of this ce. I have decided to make Meixiu the manager of the faction, so she will no longer have time to be my caretaker. This means we have nobody to do the chores such as cleaning and cooking, and I’m wondering what we should do.”
“Why don’t we just hire some people to do it instead? That’s what most big families do.” Shi Lang suggested.
“I also thought about that, but we’re short on money right now, and I don’t know how we’ll get permission to let these people inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain.”
Chu Liuxiang then raised her hand and said, “Actually, the Dragon Spiral Mountain provides free servants if you need people to do chores.”
“Huh? Really?”
She nodded and continued, “On the first of every month, the Dragon Spiral Mountain will provide free cleaning services to everyone living in the mountain. However, the downside is that they’ll only be avable on the first of every month, meaning they won’t be there whenever you need something to be cleaned. But unless we’re making a mess, we don’t need to clean that often.”
“If someone makes a mess, they should just clean up after themselves.”
Yuan nodded, “That will work. Is everybody okay with this?”
Everyone there nodded.
“What about food? Does this ce offer chefs?” Li Jinxi asked.
Chu Liuxiang shook her head and said, “No, we’ll have to either hire them or cook for ourselves.”
Meixiu then said, “If it’s just cooking breakfast and dinner, I can handle that by myself.”
“Are you sure? Won’t you be busy with the faction?” Yuan asked her.
“Even if you tell me to manage the faction, I don’t think there is that much for me to do, especially since we’re new, and we only have 10 people in the faction.”
“If you say so.” Yuan nodded, and he continued, “But if you don’t have time to cook in the future, let me know so we can do something about it.”
“Okay.”
Once everything was settled, Yuan went to spar with Li Jinxi and the others in their backyard, which was just an empty field at the moment.
As for Meixiu, she went to research more about factions and what managers should be doing for their factions.
“Hey, Jinxi, don’t use too much strength when you spar with Yuan. If you damage thend too much…” Wang Ming warned her.
“I know…” she said.
While Yuan sparred with the others, somewhere in the upper level of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Sebastian greeted Chu Liuxiang’s foster parents.
“I have returned, Master Chu, Madam Chu.” Sebastian bowed to them.
“Sebastian? Why did you suddenly return alone? Where’s my daughter?” Chu Liuxiang’s father asked him.
“The Young Lady is still with Yuan. They are also currently in the Dragon Spiral Mountain, so I decided to return alone and let the Masters know of the situation.”
