Having previously sought the Enchanted Book, after completing his own Armor with it, Yun Xiao Yi had been carrying a Crafting Table for repairs. He quickly set up the Crafting Table and placed both the trident and the Enchanted Book onto it, spending a few Experience Points in the process.
In an instant, a radiant trident, shimmering with flowing light, appeared before him. This must be what is known as Shen Lan—a true representation of Shen Lan! What truly constitutes a powerful artifact? At this moment, this item undoubtedly embodied the essence of Shen Lan!
Picking up the trident, Yun Xiao Yi examined it closely. It measured one and a half meters in length; though not particularly long, it was far more refined compared to the rough models in the game, especially under the light of reality.
Before he could assess how this weapon differed after being enhanced by the Enchanted Book, there came a knocking at the door—knock, knock, knock. It was Zhao An's voice calling out, "Immortal Sir, it's me, Zhao An."
Seeing Zhao An arrive unexpectedly made Yun Xiao Yi wonder if something had happened. "Why don’t you just come in?" he replied with a roll of his eyes.
Zhao An lightly tapped the door three times and chanted "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai," before entering the mansion. He quickly spotted Yun Xiao Yi sitting with others in a small pavilion by the water.
He rushed over and said, "Immortal Sir, the Chu Family and Xiahou Family from Xing Zhuang Village have come to visit."
The Chu Family and Xiahou Family from Xing Zhuang Village? Yun Xiao Yi searched his memory. These names did not appear in his knowledge base, especially not in texts like Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Records of the Three Kingdoms. However, he had some impression of the Xiahou Family—figures like Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came to mind.
Yet these were members of Cao Yao's Xiahou Family and not the Xiahou Family from Xing Zhuang Village here. But that was understandable; historical texts only recorded notable figures and major events, while most of humanity faded into the dust of history.
It seemed that the Chu Family and the Xiahou Family in Xing Zhuang Village were just ordinary clans in the area. At that moment, Zhao An hurriedly stepped forward to explain that both families were among the most prominent in Zhengding County, their influence not much different from that of our Zhao Family Village. The Xiahou Family was even regarded as a branch of the Xiahou Family from Qiao County in Pei Commandery, Xuzhou.
They had originally come to hold us accountable for our decision to cut off the water from the Hutuo River, Zhao An continued, but upon witnessing the continuous flow of water resources, they were deeply impressed. He hoped I could act as an intermediary to request an audience with you, so they could share in your glory.
Zhao An then reported everything in detail, not even omitting the other party's vows. Yun Xiao Yi noticed Zhao An's almost obsequious attitude; he understood this was a form of flattery. Although he also knew that harsh truths could be beneficial and that bitter medicine could cure ailments, who didn't enjoy hearing good words? Moreover, Zhao An's recent actions had indeed been commendable.
Despite his selfish motives, he always stood by my side at critical moments, which was what made him trustworthy. Yun Xiao Yi lacked extraordinary insight; he was merely a mortal with special skills. Thus, when choosing to cooperate, loyalty was undoubtedly his primary consideration.
"I see you've handled this matter well," I said. "Let them come to my villa; the courtyard here is spacious enough to accommodate them despite their numbers." Yun Xiao Yi generously praised.
Hearing such compliments made Zhao An's cheeks flush with excitement. "Yes, yes! I will inform them immediately, Immortal Sir." With that, he hurriedly left.
Watching his departing figure, Yun Xiao Yi mused: his strategic core lay in solidifying foundations and building gradually while seeking survival. However, this did not mean being closed off or conservative. He would open up at the right time and expand his influence step by step, using his unique abilities and methods to forge friendships and minimize enemies. Only then would he have a chance to change the order of the Eastern Han and even the feudal system.
All of this must respect the course of history and not be violated arbitrarily. Directly learning from later radical reforms could lead to chaos, much like how Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty and plunged the world into turmoil. In this world, human hearts and human nature were the most complex and unpredictable.
Yun Xiao Yi sighed inwardly.
However, he firmly believed that he would not repeat the mistakes of Wang Mang. After all, he possessed the protection of the game world's rules, placing him in an inherently invincible position. Unless another super mage and destined individual like Liu Xiu were to appear.
He cleared his throat a few times; it was better not to dwell on such possibilities.
Casting aside these distracting thoughts, Yun Xiao Yi planned to continue testing the newly acquired Enchanted Trident. With a graceful lift of his hand, the trident fell into his grasp.
