Chapter 151 - 125: Reclamation
"Shuniang is already seventeen this year, and she’s not exempt from conscription. Trying to bluff our way out of this won’t work," Zhang Yan said one evening as he came to visit Chen Li, his face filled with concern.
He himself wasn’t worried; after all, he was an old hand in Jianghu.
It was Shuniang he was worried about.
If the child were of any use, she wouldn’t be this useless.
"You don’t need to worry too much. Shuniang has reached the third layer in Qi Cultivation, and her cultivation level isn’t low. Plus, she has a magic artifact in her possession. Not to mention we are nearby to look after her. Nothing will happen," Chen Li reassured.
Among Loose Cultivators, those in the middle or later stages of Qi Cultivation are a minority; the majority are in the early stages.
Back when he had first transmigrated, he was only at the third layer of Qi Cultivation himself.
And he dared to go on adventures in the wilderness alone.
"Alas, easy for you to say, but how can I not worry? I don’t even know what kind of corvée labor she will be subjected to? How dangerous is it? This child has been kept under strict control by me, her character is soft, and she has never fought with anyone since she was born, without a single experience in combat," Zhang Yan sighed, looking every bit the worried father with forehead wrinkles deep enough to trap a mosquito.
...
After sending Zhang Yan away, Chen Li thought about it and decided to dutifully perform his corvée labor.
