Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls

Chapter 457: Future Plans

"It’s..."

Before Xiu could say anything, Sima Long’s voice sounded from behind.

"Xuan Qi, thanks for keeping my wife safe." He entered the room, cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and glanced over at his wife.

Sima Long quickly went over and sat next to Zhang Jie and said, "How are you feeling?"

"I’m feeling great, how are things over at the mansion now?" Zhang Jie held onto Sima Long’s hand and asked him back instead.

"It’s a long story...." He shook his head and glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi.

Sima Long thought that it might not be best to let Zhang Jie know what had happened.

Lin Xuan Qi saw his buddy’s gaze and chimed in, "I think both of you might be tired and hungry.

"Best for us to chat after having some food."

Xue Cong nodded and said, "Sister Zhang Jie, take the chicken soup first, it’s best for you and your child."

She glanced at Xiu and Xiu came over with the bowl of chicken soup in her hands.

"I think it might not be so convenient for us to be in here. We shall be in the main hall." Lin Xuan Qi gestured for Sima Long to follow him and Sima Long obliged.

When they got to the main hall, Lin Xuan Qi had a sip of his tea and asked, "So, how are things in the Sima Family right now?"

"It’s worse than I could ever imagine." Sima Long gave out a very long sigh and said, "Many of the family members were seriously injured or even worse, dead.

"Some of them meant a lot to us, with them being at least at Foundation Establishment Level or above.

"Even some of the elders at Core Formation Level were gone.

"We might need a long time to recover from this."

Lin Xuan Qi frowned and nodded his head.

"How is Master Sima Ye?" He saw that Sima Long came alone and asked.

Sima Long shook his head and said, "He came back to the mansion and was tasked to go along with the others to get rid of the remaining disciples of the Six Pulse Sword Sect in Hong Feng City."

"Hope he will be safe." Lin Xuan Qi said and Sima Long nodded his head.

"In the meantime, feel free to stay here if you want to." He offered Sima Long to stay in the Lin Clan where he could at least guarantee Sima Long and Zhang Jie’s safety.

However, Sima Long shook his head and rejected his offer.

"You have your wedding, businesses and family to take care of.

"I wouldn’t want to make it more difficult for you.

"And speaking about businesses, how are the factories?"

Zhi Yong who had come back earlier and stood by the side, thumped his chest and said, "Me checked. All fine."

"That is good to hear. The Sima Family would need whatever we have to recuperate from the damages and losses." Sima Long said and that prompted Lin Xuan Qi.

He had been thinking about taking over some other businesses in the city and with the Sima Family needing funds all of a sudden, it might finally be the time for him to do so.

Lin Xuan Qi would also want to take over the factories that were under the Sima Family first if he could.

And if it was possible he would want to take over the shares of the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence back eventually.

But the factory and the shares for the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence business were not the highest priority for him right now.

After witnessing what had happened to the Sima Family, he knew that he would need to hasten his pace.

He would need to ascend in his cultivation much more quickly than before.

It was also crucial for him to have more guarantees against attacks, like getting cultivators into the clan or getting Talismans, Artifacts and Pills to protect everyone in the clan.

Right now, there were only Lee He Song and Zhi Yong who were able to help much when things happened.

"What are the plans for the Sima Family next?" Lin Xuan Qi put down his teacup and asked.

Sima Long wasn’t too sure himself and said, "The family head is focused on exacting revenge on the Six Pulse Sword Sect and checking with the Qing Feng Sect..."

"Qing Feng Sect?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned and thought silently to himself.

It was indeed fishy that the Qing Feng Sect didn’t send anyone to help except for a few lowly disciples with Sima Ye.

However, he kept quiet about it as it wasn’t something that he was too involved with.

"Then, I think you should focus on Zhang Jie and your child in the meantime.

"Make sure to let me know if you have difficulties." Lin Xuan Qi offered to help again as he was sure that the Sima Family wouldn’t prioritize precious resources to mortals within the family like Sima Long and Zhang Jie.

"Well, if you say so, I will come over to have five meals per day and you could also help to write some poems so that I can sell them for a good price." Sima Long got back to his usual self and said jokingly.

"What? How dare you? My chef would quit making five meals per day for you." Lin Xuan Qi replied back jokingly.

"Great, that’s settled then. I shall come back every day for a poem to sell." Sima Long raised his teacup, proposed a toast to him and said.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head, and returned the toast.

He was more than willing to come up with some poems for Sima Long if he really needed it.

If there was anything he could help with, he would do it.

And among buddies, there wasn’t a need for too many words between them.

Lin Xuan Qi downed the cup of tea in a mouthful with Sima Long.

One of the servants came over after they were done and said, "The meal is ready."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said to Sima Long, "Time for a good meal. It’s been a long while since the last time for us."

"It’s been a long while indeed." Sima Long sighed and stood up from his seat.
