Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16492

Chapter 16490. A Reprimand

“Give Wan Hai a call and have him come over. I need to give him a warning, a reminder. After all, he just joined the sect, so we can give him a chance. As for the elders of the sect, they won’t get a chance,” Wen Wenhai said to Gongliang Juewen. This surprised Gongliang Juewen, but he nodded and agreed.

Wen Wenhai looked at Gongliang Juewen and said, “Do you think I’m too soft-hearted, giving them a chance at a time like this?”

Gongliang Juewen nodded and then said, “Master, didn’t you say before that the sect wouldn’t be lenient?”

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “Of course the sect won’t be lenient, but we won’t do things like punishing without warning. The sect didn’t explicitly tell them not to form groups; you just informed them. But at the time, you only said you heard about it, not that it was an official notification from the sect. So, the sect didn’t explicitly tell them not to form groups. If we then deal with them directly because of this, it will cause their dissatisfaction, and they’ll say we’re punishing without warning. That won’t do.” “Call Wan Hai over and give them a warning. If they don’t change, then we can deal with them without any problem. But if they do change, then we can give them a chance. This is a privilege only for new members of the sect.”

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai’s words, Gongliang Juewen immediately agreed. Wen Wenhai said, “Alright, go make the call.”

Gongliang Juewen responded and went outside to make the call. He returned shortly and said to Wen Wenhai, “Wan Hai will be here soon.”

Wen Wenhai nodded and then said, “Please sit down too.” Gongliang Juewen responded and then sat down at a table next to Wen Wenhai’s office. This table was a little smaller than Wen Wenhai’s, and it was specially prepared for Gongliang Juewen by Wen Wenhai.

Wen Wenhai intended to train Gongliang Juewen as his disciple and deputy, which was why he arranged this table for Gongliang Juewen in his room.

A disciple soon entered and reported, “Elder, Elder Wan Hai has arrived.”

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “Please invite him in.” He then stood up. The disciple acknowledged and turned to leave. Shortly after, Wan Hai entered the room. Upon entering, he saw Gongliang Juewen. Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen were both standing behind their seats, quietly watching him.

Wan Hai quickly clasped his hands in greeting to Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Greetings, Elder Wen; greetings, His Majesty… Elder Gongliang.” Clearly, he intended to address Gongliang Juewen as His Majesty, but ultimately refrained from doing so.

Wen Wenhai returned the greeting and said, “Elder Wan, you’re too kind. Please have a seat.”

Wan Hai responded and then sat down opposite Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen also sat down. After the three of them were seated, Wen Wenhai looked at Wan Hai and then said with a smile, “Elder Wan, you’ve been in the sect for a few days now. I’ve been busy with sect affairs these past few days and haven’t had a chance to meet you, which is a real pity. Since I have some time today, I invited Elder Wan to come and meet me, so that we can formally introduce ourselves.”

Wan Hai quickly replied, “Elder Wen, you’re too kind. You’re a distinguished guest and very busy. We don’t have anything to do, so you don’t need to go to such trouble.” His words were slightly sarcastic, clearly indicating that he had some dissatisfaction with Wen Wenhai.

Wen Wenhai pretended not to hear and smiled slightly, saying, “Elder Wan, how could you be alright? The Wan family is a large clan; Elder Wan must have quite a few things to do, right? By the way, I wonder if everyone in the Wan family has been settled? There are many families in the sect, and we hope that every family can live well within the sect. We also hope to take care of all the families. If you encounter any inconveniences, please be sure to tell me.”

Wan Hai felt that there must be another meaning behind Wen Wenhai’s words, but he hadn’t figured it out yet. He immediately said, “Thank you for your concern, Elder Wen. We are very satisfied with the sect’s arrangements.”

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “Then…” “That’s good. Quite a few families and sects joined this time, and those sects even announced their disbandment. Actually, there was no need for that. As for the families, you don’t need to do anything. After all, families are different from sects. Families can’t disband, and they don’t need to.”

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai’s words, Wan Hai’s heart skipped a beat, and he then said, “Yes, families really don’t need to disband, since we are all related by blood.”

Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, Wen Wenhai gave him a deep look. He understood Wan Hai’s meaning. Wan Hai’s meaning was very clear: he wanted to say that they didn’t want to disband.

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “That’s right, you’re all related by blood, so of course there’s no need to disband. Actually, the sect doesn’t really care about these things; it’s just that people overthink things. Patriarch Wan has done a good job. If you have any needs, you can tell me now.”

Upon hearing Wen Wenhai’s words, Wan Hai pondered for a moment before speaking, “The sect has taken great care of our families, and we are all very satisfied. We have no needs.”

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “That’s good. From now on, you will all be disciples of the sect. If the sect wants to transfer Wan family disciples to other branches, do you have any objections?”

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, “The Wan family has only just joined the sect, and many disciples haven’t adapted to sect life yet. Could you please ask Elder Wen to wait a while before transferring them to other branches?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Wenhai couldn’t help but deeply… He glanced at Wan Hai, then smiled and said, “Sure, of course, no problem. It’s just that transferring the disciples from each family to other branches is a common practice in the sect. Actually, we can do it or not. In my opinion, it’s unnecessary. After all, even if they’re transferred, they’re still members of the Wan family. It doesn’t really matter whether they’re transferred or not. It’s just because it’s a sect practice that I’m asking again. Let the Wan family disciples adapt to the sect’s situation. We’ll discuss the transfers later.”

Although Wen Wenhai’s words sounded very nice, his meaning was quite clear: transferring Wan Hai’s disciples to other branches wouldn’t affect your Wan family; they would still be disciples of your Wan family. It wouldn’t affect your family. Moreover, it’s a sect practice, so you should abide by it.

After listening to Wen Wenhai’s words, Wan Hai nodded and said, “Yes, Elder Wen. Once the Wan family disciples have adapted to life in the sect, we will absolutely obey the sect’s orders and transfer them to other branch halls.”

Wen Wenhai nodded, then smiled and said, “I called Elder Wan here this time to get to know you and also to ask if you need anything. Now that I know you are doing well, I am relieved. Elder Wan, please return. If you need anything, you can come directly to me.”

Wan Hai responded, then stood up, bowed to Wen Wenhai and Gongliang Juewen, and then turned and left.

Gongliang Juewen’s face was extremely ugly. After Wan Hai left, he couldn’t help but snort coldly and then said, “They don’t know what’s good for them. It seems they’re determined to go down this dark path.”

Wen Wenhai wasn’t angry, but smiled slightly and said, “Forget it, I already guessed this would be the result. There’s no need to be angry. Before people suffer losses, they always think that what they insist on is right. They think that what they insist on is right now. My warning to them today will not only not make them stop, but will also strengthen their determination, and their actions will accelerate. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Some cancers need to be made to erupt, and then you can just cut them off directly.”

“I just think, how could they be so stupid? The sect treats them so well, why do they still ask for more? It’s too much.” Gongliang Juewen was really angry. He was actually a very clear-headed person. His Gongliang family was a family even larger than the Wan family. After his family joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, it wasn’t long before he directly transferred the family’s disciples to various branch halls. Just like Wen Wenhai said, even if those people were transferred to other branch halls, they were still disciples of the Gongliang family. So what if they were transferred? What’s there to worry about? As long as the family continues, what’s wrong with continuing in any way? Why do they have to stay together and demand some special privileges? He really couldn’t understand it.

Wen Wenhai smiled slightly and then said, “Humans are all greedy; they always want more. That’s human nature. If people didn’t want more, there wouldn’t be cultivators. Don’t cultivators want more and want to live longer? So it’s quite normal; there’s nothing strange about it.”

Gongliang Juewen let out a long breath, composed himself, and then turned to Wen Wenhai, saying, “Master, what do we do now? Just wait for them to make their move?”

Wen Wenhai smiled slightly and said, “Yes, just wait for them to make their move. What are we now? We’re like a chef. We’ve heated the pot, prepared all the ingredients, and are just waiting for the fish to come to the pot by itself. So don’t rush, be patient. Our conversation this time…” “They’ll become bait, and they’ll come running.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded upon hearing Wen Wenhai’s words, then glanced at Wen Wenhai and asked, “Master, what if the Wan family really agrees to transfer their disciples to other branches? Are we really not going to do anything about it?”

Wen Wenhai smiled and said, “I’ve already said, this is giving them a chance. If they agree to let us transfer their disciples to other branches, then of course we won’t do anything. The sect still has that much magnanimity. However, I also guessed that they definitely wouldn’t agree. Do you know why? It’s actually very simple. Because they’ve already contacted other families. At this point, they have no way to back out; it’s like an arrow shot from a bow—there’s no turning back.” (End of Chapter)
