"Sister Shang is mainly holding down the fort at the family estate nowadays, basically performing the duties of the patriarch. Although Qir'er and Xinran can make decisions on minor matters, once they encounter people and affairs related to Golden Core cultivators, they are unable to handle them and must report to Sister Shang to let her make the final call. Therefore, she rarely has the opportunity to enter seclusion for cultivation anymore; she spends basically every day dealing with all sorts of matters.
Sister Long is much the same. Ever since you left the market town, she has been holding down the fort here. Although Wan'er and I help her handle some of the routine affairs so she doesn't have to sweat every single detail, our Xu Family's Tenglong Market Town is a newly established one, and miscellaneous issues crop up almost constantly. Some matters Wan'er and I handle ourselves after discussing them, but when major problems concerning the development of the market town arise, we have no choice but to seek out Sister Long to discuss solutions together.
As for Feng'er, she spends her days either staring into a blazing furnace refining pills or serving as an alchemy instructor in the family school, teaching the younger clan members how to refine pills, leaving her with almost no time for cultivation.
