Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Making Arrangements

There wasn’t much to do after the brief conversation. The elders, including Grandpa Chu, Chu Miao’s parents, and the professors left.

The soldiers still didn’t know where they would live so they remained in their seats.

Chu Miao and Ye Xuan stood up and went to the three bedrooms in the apartment to look around. While the rooms were not as big as those upstairs, one bedroom could fit three bunk beds, though it will become a little congested and with little room to move around.

Nevertheless, this didn’t matter all that much. At least there was enough space.

Chu Miao took out the bunk beds grandpa Chu and the butler had collected in the university dormitory when they went training there.

At that time, taking away the beds and tables had seemed like collecting unnecessary stuff, but now everything was finding its use.

Three bunk beds were placed in each bedroom with only a little space left for the inhabitants to access the bathroom and the door.

"It might not be very comfortable for them." Chu Miao said as she also took out new mattresses and placed them on the beds.

A pair of bedsheets, pillow, and a blanket were placed on the beds as well. This was an easy task for Chu Miao as it only involved moving her consciousness.

The soldiers would make the beds themselves. Everything else was provided to ensure comfort when they slept.

"This is more comfortable than the base, trust me. They will be happy to have such a clean environment to live in." Ye Xuan reassured her as he watched beds, mattresses, bedsheets, pillows, and blankets appear and fill the room in seconds.

This was the magic of having such a large space. She had enough space to store anything and everything that could become useful in the future.

Seeing how some beds from a university dormitory were becoming useful in only a few weeks, he decided that he would never leave anything behind when he goes out.

After a round in the bedrooms, each room had three bunk beds meaning that six people would share a room.

The two then left the apartment and went to the one opposite. After doing the same thing in the bedrooms there, Chu Miao looked around and came to a decision.

"If we only use the bedrooms, the space won’t be enough. They can use the living room and dining area we used today for their meals and recreation, then the other apartments can be turned into bedrooms." She suggested as she estimated how many beds can be placed in the living room.

"That’s good. Soldiers are not very particular about where or how they sleep. They would already be very grateful for having a bed and comfortable beddings to use. So, don’t worry about anything else." Ye Xuan held Chu Miao’s hand and looked at her with a gentle smile.

He was happy that she had accepted these new brothers even though most of them came unannounced.

He knew that she had a certain level of respect and camaraderie towards soldiers, but she wasn’t obligated to help them, yet she did more without any complaints.

He loved this side of her to death. Also, although he didn’t really care about his position as either a leader or a follower, he was overjoyed that she tried to protect his pride by naming him an equal partner.

However, what made him the happiest wasn’t the act of her telling others that she considered him a partner in leadership, but the fact that she actually did consider him as her partner. A partner not only in leadership, but also in life.

They did exactly as Chu Miao suggested and turned one apartment on the fifteenth floor into a large dormitory and the two apartments on the unoccupied thirteenth floor.

By the time they were done, everyone had a comfortable bed and even a few extra ones remained.

The two went back to the fifteenth floor to dismiss the soldiers as Ye Xuan had pointed out that following their military discipline, those soldiers would not go anywhere without permission.

As soon as they walked in, the room went quiet.

"Everyone is dismissed. There are more than enough beds for everyone. Each person gets a bed and beddings, take care of them yourselves.

If you need anything else, find my partner, brother Chu Hao, or me. Arrange how you will be making your meals yourselves.

Food will be provided, but you have to cook it yourself. Don’t use the tap water as it’s contaminated. Each apartment will be provided with small water tanks filled with fresh water for use.

You can ask for more if you run out. For any more questions, Captain Qi can come to me personally." Ye Xuan didn’t talk a lot. He just stated what was necessary and left with his girlfriend.

Chu Miao didn’t wait for her brother to start asking questions as she knew he would have something to say no matter what.

She teleported directly to Ye Xuan’s apartment.

"Thanks for the hard work. I might have found it difficult to arrange for the accommodations and the daily necessities including beddings for so many people." Ye Xuan thanked Chu Miao as both of them sat down on the sofa to rest.

They weren’t tired physically because as cultivators, such physical work wasn’t enough to tire them out. Using a little spiritual energy would wipe out all the fatigue and revitalize them to their peak condition.

However, the mental exhaustion was expected. This was a surprise for them as when they left that morning, they had expected to only fetch five people or if the number went up as Qi Long had said that a few more might join, it wouldn’t go past twenty.

Who would have expected over a hundred? Nevertheless, the number was good enough to start a sect.

"Don’t worry about such trivials. If something is challenging for you and I can do it, of course I will help.

Don’t forget that we are partners. A team. We do everything together, so don’t take these people’s needs as your sole responsibility. We share that responsibility." Chu Miao dissuaded Ye Xuan against such thoughts as she laid down on the sofa with her head on his lap.

Seeing her so carefree in his presence made Ye Xuan smile from the bottom of his heart.

He was glad that she had come to accept him wholeheartedly. Now she was comfortable enough to be herself around him without having to restrain her personality or actions.

"Mmm....I understand. What are your plans for now?" Ye Xuan asked as he remembered what she had said to the soldiers before leaving.

If they didn’t have superpowers, they should strengthen their bodies while waiting for them to find a solution to make them stronger and able to protect themselves.

He wondered if she was planning to introduce cultivation to them. While this might be a great idea, it also had its setbacks. After all, cultivation is an ancient culture that has been lost over many centuries or even a millennium.

From the books in history, mastering the right cultivation techniques and cultivating diligently could help someone ascend to immortality.

With so many people nowadays doing some inhumane research to look for a drug that could achieve immortality, it would be naive to think that they would find out about cultivation and still sit still.

Many might go as far as abducting members of the sect to extract information about the cultivation techniques that could help them live forever.

Others might even do more beastly things like conduct human experiments to find a way to help them cultivate as Chu Miao had mentioned before that not everyone could cultivate.

It was true that cultivation was not for everyone. Only those with spirit roots could cultivate a technique that aligns with it.

The members of the Chu family were lucky to have been born with a spirit root. Butler Cheng was also an oddity who also had a spirit root.

In fact, in this world with such thin spiritual energy, it was surprising that some people had spirit roots.

Chu Miao thought that the development of spirit roots might have had something to do with the experience of soldiers, or a place they went for training. This was because it was really difficult to explain why Ye Xuan’s entire team could all cultivate.

Nevertheless, this wasn’t a bad thing. Younger children might be easier to introduce to cultivation as a spirit root could be grown even where one wasn’t.

With the right medicine, it was possible.

That was another reason Chu Miao was overjoyed about the appearance of the forest filled with spiritual herbs in the soul ring.

"Let them get used to the new environment here first before making a decision. Most importantly, this rain is a hindrance and many things couldn’t be done before the flood water subsides.

Let’s wait for a while." Chu Miao finally replied to Ye Xuan’s question about what to do.
