Knock knock!
"Come in." Feng looking over his shoulders, saw Violet walk in with a small stack of scrolls.
"As you have requested Patriarch." handing the scrolls over to Feng, Violet kowtowed to him before walking towards the door to leave.
"Violet, how is your mission coming along?" Feng asked Violet before she could open the door.
"It is going extremely well. Due to you promising to release so many slaves from their contracts and offering them a true position within your sect, I have recruited over fifty genuine cultivators."
"However, since you have not permitted me to teach them the Dual Cultivation method, they have decided to move themselves to the outskirts into a different territory entirely to await your word."Violet reported.
"Very good Violet, as it stands right now, I will reward you for completing your secret mission." Feng stood up and walked over to Violet.
Grabbing her by the waist and pulling her in for a close and passionate kiss, Feng continued to explain to Violet her reward.
"Violet, I will be leaving the city for a time and I want you to take charge of the politics when it comes to the growth of our sect. Once I finalize these documents, I will hand them over to you to view as well."
"Part of this new mission is to not allow anyone to realize that I will be leaving for a period of time. The other part of this mission is that you will be our sect's representative when it comes to this banquet. Do you understand?" Feng asked Violet after explaining everything calmly.
"Y-Y-Yes milord!" stepping away from Feng, Violet kowtowed as she blushed from the earlier kiss. Violet feeling embarrassed, left the room to make her arrangements for the banquet that night.
"Why have you decided to do this?" the older man decided to appear before Feng from the crystal.
He knew that Feng was trying to build his sect quickly while choosing to personally crop ideal disciples out of the batches that would be appearing. But, Feng did not tell him about publicly placing Violet in charge of sect affairs so randomly.
"Oh, well as you know, I already knew a little bit of the sects and schools within this city. What you did not know, is that the top three sects, are closely affiliated with major powers. According to my estimations, due to our sect's sudden growth, those sects will be possibly making a move against us at the banquet."
"With this in mind, if they do not, it will be fine since Violet will be capable enough with all of the recruits we have gotten so swiftly surrounding her. However, if they do, unfortunately, Violet is a better sacrifice than myself."
"In the meantime, I will be making my way over to those cultivators and we will truly begin building our sect properly. If all is done correctly, in about five years, we can dominate several small townships then make our way into another city more discreetly." Feng explained as he started to gather his things into his storage ring.
Earlier that week, Feng received quite a few gifts from other powers within the city as well as several townships and their town leaders. It could be said that Feng invested close to seven million gold coins thus far, but had gained over ten million gold coins in gifts!
