Chapter 1327 Truly Moving!
Lan Fan's team returned.
Some villagers who saw them leave still had many doubts in their hearts.
The news of the Grand Preceptor's departure spread quickly.
But fortunately, the Grand Preceptor had returned!
"Princess, the Grand Preceptor has listed the items needed for tomorrow."
Xi Jiu retrieved the list from Lan Fan.
His expression was already grim when he entered, and it worsened upon seeing the list.
"At a time like this, this fellow still wants to go to such lengths and waste resources! Doesn't he realize that Xin Hua Village has no wealth left for him to squander!"
He was not from the Nan Ming Kingdom and was unfamiliar with the ceremonies of the Grand Preceptors of Nan Ming.
However, this ceremony was undoubtedly extravagant and wasteful for Xin Hua Village at present.
It required building a brand-new high platform, various sacrificial offerings, dozens of young men and women, and even the slaughter of a hundred pigs, cattle, and sheep by the villagers!
A hundred of them! Did he know that after the flood, everyone struggled to even have a bite of meat? He still wanted to waste so much food; it was utterly extravagant!
"Princess, I don't understand. Does this so-called prayer ritual truly help people suffering from the epidemic?"
With the same time and energy, it would be better to focus on how to treat the villagers.
"It's not very useful for actual treatment, but it can appease people's hearts."
Chu Qianli looked at him and smiled, "The ceremony must be taken seriously. If one doesn't take it seriously, won't the people also see it as a child's play?"
"But..."
"It's alright. Ask Eleven to investigate the items used for the previous Grand Preceptor's sacrificial rituals and list them for me."
"I understand." Xi Jiu immediately went out and returned shortly after, "Eleven said he needs half an hour."
"Alright."
Feng Ye Xuan sat to the side, still packaging the medicine needed for tomorrow.
After a whole day, this task had become second nature to him.
Hearing them mention Eleven, Feng Ye Xuan's handsome sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in his voice, "The Eleven you speak of, is he Gan Shi Yi from the Gan family of Yun Nan?"
Chu Qianli was unaware of Eleven's background, so she couldn't answer this question.
Xi Jiu replied, "Indeed."
Feng Ye Xuan, however, only paid attention to Chu Qianli's expression. Seeing her like this, he felt a bit dejected.
"You don't even know who he is, yet you were able to recruit him!"
"I don't know, but Fu Long knows him." People recommended by Fu Long could certainly be used.
She trusted Fu Long unconditionally.
However... Chu Qianli tilted her head, staring at Feng Ye Xuan, "Why does Prince Xuan look unhappy?"
Xi Jiu coughed lightly, suppressing a smile, and said, "The Prince personally invited him back then, but Eleven refused."
Chu Qianli's large, watery eyes widened in shock!
So Eleven was such a formidable figure that even Prince Xuan himself couldn't persuade him!
It was simply miraculous!
But, that wasn't right!
"Didn't the Prince meet Eleven back then? Why didn't he mention it?"
"This Prince never met him!" Mentioning this, Feng Ye Xuan's expression turned even uglier.
Xi Jiu truly couldn't help but laugh this time, "Perhaps the Prince never even stepped foot into the house, so he didn't know Eleven's true identity. Later, when he saw him, he didn't recognize him."
Chu Qianli was almost moved to tears!
The person Fu Long found for her was truly astonishing!
"Then you..." Before she could finish speaking, Chu Qianli suddenly glanced at Feng Ye Xuan.
From outside, hurried footsteps could be heard...
