C1006 Freedom to Leave the Valley

Du Qi's voice suddenly sounded like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake. Immediately, violent ripples were stirred up, causing every corner of the Happy Valley to receive an unavoidable impact. Everyone was surprised and bewildered when they heard this. They couldn't help but start discussing and guessing amongst themselves. The sudden stop of the expedition earlier had already caused everyone to have many doubts. Now that the Valley Lord had made an exception and personally announced the call to gather, it could be seen that the situation was extremely urgent. Could it be that there was another enemy that was difficult to defend against? Everyone couldn't help but feel even more panicked. Those who were called by Du Qi hurriedly rushed towards the Divine Dragon Pavilion at all costs.

Du Qi only wanted to settle the matters of the Happy Valley as soon as possible, and then help Yuwen Qianmo recover his strength. He felt that it was inevitable that the order would be delayed, so he personally shouted for everyone to gather. He never thought that such an unintentional action would cause everyone in Happy Valley to suspect and panic.

Du Qi and Yuwen Qianmo arrived at the Divine Dragon Pavilion. The white robed guards were full of energy and their eyes were full of vigor. Thirteen people came out from the pavilion. They were Lee Ziyun and the twelve guards, Zheng Yue and the others. When he saw Du Qi, Lee Ziyun bowed respectfully and said with a sweet voice, "This subordinate, Lee Ziyun, greets the Valley Lord. Due to the urgency of the time, the person whom Valley Lord has summoned has yet to arrive. Can you wait in the Valley Lord Pavilion for a while? "

Du Qi smiled lightly and said, "Valley Lord Lee need not be overly courteous. Just as my words came out, Valley Lord Lee already arrived?"

Lee Ziyun seemed to be somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Valley Lord handed the internal affairs of the valley to me. I dare not slack off. I usually stay in the Divine Dragon Pavilion so that I can grasp the situation at any time."

Du Qi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Valley Lord Lee is wholeheartedly devoted to the valley. It is really tough. I know that I will definitely not treat Valley Lord Lee unfairly. I hope that Valley Lord Lee will continue to manage the Happy Valley well!"

Lee Ziyun quickly said humbly, "It is my duty to be able to share some of the burden of the Valley Lord. It is just that I am stupid and afraid to disappoint the Valley Lord's trust and expectations. That is why I have to pretend to be diligent here."

While they were talking, Du Qi and the others had already entered the Divine Dragon Pavilion. Du Qi sat on the throne of the Valley Lord. He ordered Zheng Yue and the others to bring two large chairs over and place them at the front. Yuwen Qianmo and Lee Ziyun sat on the chairs while Zheng Yue and the other twelve girls stood behind them. They could wait for orders or deal with all kinds of unexpected situations at any time.

As soon as Zheng Yue and the others took their seats, the Tenth Elder, the Ninth Guardian, and the others arrived one after another. When they saw Du Qi introduce themselves to Yuwen Qianmo, they became noisy until everyone arrived.

The last to arrive were the two elders, Mei Kaishan and Mei Kaihe. Looking at their appearances, it seemed like they were dissatisfied that Du Qi had disturbed their cultivation. Perhaps it was because there were many people present that they spared some face for Du Qi, so they didn't directly criticize him.

Du Qi had already seen the expressions of Mei Kaishan and Mei Kaihe, but he did not care about them. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he only coughed lightly and everyone stopped talking. What kind of major event was he planning to hear from Du Qi? Du Qi turned his head to look at Lee Ziyun and asked, "Deputy Li Valley Lord, how many people left the valley privately while you were in charge of the Valley Lord?"

When everyone heard this, they could not help but be stunned. They did not understand what Du Qi meant by this. Lee Ziyun was shocked in his heart. Could it be that Du Qi wanted to cause trouble for her? But at this moment, she had no choice but to speak the truth, "Replying to the Valley Lord, this subordinate failed in my duty. Sixty-seven people went missing during this period. I wonder how many people actually fled the valley? Please punish me, Valley Lord! "

Du Qi said again, "During this period, how many people have been found to have left the valley without permission?"

Lee Ziyun's expression was ugly as he looked at Mu, Wei Er's Manor Lord, Xia and Shen Er's Valley Lord. He said with a trembling voice, "Valley Lord, only one person has been found, and the Valley Lord even spared his life."

Du Qi asked again, "Has everyone thought about it? Why are there people constantly disappearing in Happy Valley, and why are there people leaving the valley without permission? Can this kind of phenomenon be eliminated?"

Everyone naturally could not answer Du Qi's series of questions, and Du Qi did not want them to answer either. After asking, he paused for a moment and continued, "This phenomenon occurred because there are people who are not satisfied with the life or treatment in Happy Valley. Therefore, it was not impossible to prevent this phenomenon from happening."

Hearing Du Qi's words, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Even Mei Kaishan and Mei Kaihe, who were originally full of anxiety, couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This was a bad habit that had never been cut off in Happy Valley for many years. Mei Xiangdong couldn't help but ask, "Young master, is there any way to prevent this from happening?"

Du Qi smiled lightly and said, "It's very simple. It's to let everyone leave the valley freely!"

Seeing everyone looking at each other in dismay, Du Qi understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry about the number of people in Happy Valley getting lesser and lesser, we can let them go while we are at it. We can wave for new people to enter the valley. Of course, there must be a corresponding restriction on entry and exit! "

Seeing that Du Qi did not seem to have any intention of punishing her, Lee Ziyun recovered his senses and said in a lovely voice, "We are ignorant and do not understand the meaning of the Valley Lord. Please enlighten us, Valley Lord!"

Du Qi said confidently," Anyone who is willing to leave the valley, as long as they report and register according to the rules, they can leave the valley. After leaving the valley, you can choose to live in the Northern and Southern Houses, the Eastern and Western Houses, or the Cold Plum Mountain Manor. The prerequisite is that you must get the permission of the owners of these five Houses. They will be under their management and will not be allowed to change their residence in the future. Those who came out of the valley could also choose to live in other places, but they could not be called the people of the Happy Valley. They would also not allow them to raise the Divine Dragon, nor would they be allowed to commit evil deeds. Otherwise, if we find any of them, we will get rid of them one by one, and we will never forgive them!"

"Every year, we will regularly choose people with outstanding talent, or those who have made great contributions to the Happy Valley to be the new disciples of the Happy Valley. Within the valley, we will give corresponding rewards depending on the number of people we send and the quality of their talents. Of course, the Northern and Southern Houses, the Eastern and Western Houses, and the Cold Plum Mountain Manor can recruit a large number of disciples from the outside world. In order to avoid conflicts such as fighting over disciples, the five of you can discuss and accept them as your new disciples. "

"The new disciples and the people in the valley can be recruited according to their daily tasks and duties. They will also receive fixed living resources and rewards for completing missions and contributing to the valley. Their martial arts cultivation will reach a certain level. They will be promoted to inner sect disciples of the valley and will no longer serve any duties in the valley. You will enjoy superior treatment and there will be a master who will guide you in your cultivation. After you have entered the Dao, you will be able to enter the forbidden area to cultivate. "

"From today onwards, the Divine Dragon Hall will be classified as a forbidden area, and there will be a great defensive and defensive formation along the walls. Other than the relevant staff members, no one is allowed to enter without permission. Those who enter will die! The circular area of one hundred and eight zhang outside the Divine Dragon Hall will be surrounded by high walls as the place where the inner sect disciples live and cultivate. Starting from tomorrow, the planning will begin. I wonder if you have any objections to the aforementioned matters?" Du Qi said all of this in one breath before asking for everyone's opinions and suggestions.
