Chapter 128

That day, Xiangliu returned to the mountain, while Xiaoyao met with everyone in the council hall. Currently, there were less than half a month left until the autumn harvest. The crops around New City and Qingshui City were growing very well, and it was bound to be a bountiful season. Sheng Ji had been constantly keeping watch in the fields, leaving early and returning late every day. He truly poured his heart and soul into the work, which deeply moved Xiaoyao. The busiest person right now was Guifang Qing. All day long, he busied himself with his mystical feng shui grand array, walking around everywhere holding a plate-like instrument, and leading a bunch of people in black robes running back and forth inside and outside the city. Besides that, he also had to oversee the construction of the sacrificial altar and prepare for the tedious affairs of offering sacrifices to the heavens, keeping him practically flying off his feet every day. He did attend the council meetings, but to put it in Xiaoyao's private words, nobody understood the kinds of things those Guifang Clan shamans messed around with all day anyway, so she simply let him sit for a moment before sending him on his way.
