Chapter 191: The Initial Establishment of the Cloud Realm
Lian Yun was not concerned about the reception aspect, as the Siheyuan was primarily for Ma Wenlong and others. Therefore, Lian Yun directly dismissed Wei Butler. After removing Wei Butler, Lian Yun quickly decided to let go of Du Butler as well and chose Fang Butler instead.
Fang Butler, if he was meticulous and thorough in handling matters, would be capable of receiving guests and managing the servants. While he might not create the same warm and comfortable atmosphere as Wei Butler, at least he wouldn’t make guests feel awkward. He might not push the servants as hard as Du Butler did, but he would ensure that tasks were completed without errors.
That was sufficient.
Moreover, since Lian Yun would be living in the Siheyuan, having Fang Butler around meant that many trivial matters wouldn’t require his direct involvement.
Once the butler was chosen, it was time to select the servants and maids.
For the servant, Lian Yun picked a quick-footed and sharp-minded young man named Monkey.
For the maids, there were two: Aunt Hua, who was skilled in cooking, and a pure-looking girl named Greenery.
After confirming these choices, the interface disappeared. At the same time, Lian Yun found that he now held a token that allowed him to make some modifications to the Siheyuan. For instance, he could establish a Teleportation Array or create some rockeries and water features.
Additionally, with the token in hand, he could teleport back to the Siheyuan from anywhere within Xianyang City. However, a certain amount of Spirit Coins would be automatically deducted from his personal stash for each teleportation. If he didn’t have enough Spirit Coins, he wouldn’t be able to teleport.
This was quite convenient.
Lian Yun felt a surge of excitement as he activated the token. He was enveloped by a special energy and descended underground. When he saw light again, he found himself inside the Siheyuan. Four people stood before him: Fang Butler, Monkey, Aunt Hua, and Greenery.
“Old servant, servant, common woman, maidservant—greetings, my lord.”
Instinctively smiling slightly, Lian Yun said, “Get up; we are family now. Just act naturally.”
However, the four remained somewhat unmoved by his words. This made Lian Yun shake his head helplessly before taking out the token to establish a Teleportation Array.
At that moment, Fang Butler spoke up: “If my lord wishes to establish a Teleportation Array, I suggest placing it in a corner.”
Indeed, while placing it in the center of the courtyard would be convenient, it could lead to inconveniences during future training sessions in the courtyard. Establishing it in a corner might require walking a bit more distance but would eliminate any worries.
Lian Yun walked to the corner and established a one-meter square Teleportation Array.
This Teleportation Array could only transport one person at a time, but once it was completed, Lian Yun received an invisible list. As it contained names, he needed to confirm the identities due to potential duplicates before allowing anyone to be transported.
Lian Yun wrote down the names of five individuals: Ma Wenlong, Song Hansong, Tian Shou, Luo Qingyi, and Feng Licheng. Since both Ma Wenlong and Luo Qingyi had duplicates, while Song Hansong, Tian Shou, and Feng Licheng were unique, Lian Yun confirmed the identities of Ma Wenlong and Luo Qingyi.
Not long after, as if they had received the news, the five individuals arrived one after another.
Once everyone was present, Lian Yun handed the token to Ma Wenlong and said to the group, “If you want anyone else to come over, Ma Wenlong, you decide. Just leave the main building for me; you can use the other rooms freely.”
Ma Wenlong immediately replied, “Lord, we should meet with the other members first.”
Lian Yun considered this for a moment and nodded.
Although he planned to abandon this faction in the future, the current members had gathered under his name. It was only proper to meet them first to avoid any disrespect.
As for their future—whether they stayed or left—it would depend on their own wishes and the abilities of Ma Wenlong and the others.
Next, Lian Yun took a tour of the main building with Fang Butler to familiarize himself before meditating in the master bedroom for a while.
When he felt it was time, he stepped out of the main building and saw about a hundred people standing neatly in formation, looking quite serious.
Lian Yun wiped his face to reveal his true self and spoke loudly, “I am Lian Yun. It’s an honor to meet you all. First, I want to thank all of you seniors and older brothers and sisters for your support.”
He gave a slight bow.
“Not at all; please take care of yourself, Lord.”
This indicated that Lian Yun didn’t need to be so formal. However, there was a hint of honor and pride in the voices of the hundred people.
Lian Yun nodded and continued, “Since you all know my identity, you should also be aware that I will be leaving Yin Yang City within three years.”
Before anyone could feel disheartened, Lian Yun continued, "So within three years, I will do my best to find you powerful allies. At that time, whether you choose to stay or leave will be entirely up to you."
Some were pleased while others were troubled, but no one spoke.
"Now that we are gathered together, it is a form of fate. I hope everyone can support each other and not turn against one another over trivial gains and losses."
"We will follow the Lord's wishes!"
"Lian Yun is here; I ask for everyone's guidance!"
"How could we not obey?"
"Please, Lord, give our group a name," Ma Wenlong stepped forward and said.
Lian Yun frowned, unsure of what to call them. After a moment of thought, Lian Yun replied, "If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to speak up."
Thus names like Lianyun Pavilion, Cloud Emperor Palace, Wei Yun Fortress, and others were thrown out.
After listening for a while, Lian Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "Wherever you all are, that will be your power in the future. Do not take me as the leader; it would be better to think of names that relate to all of you."
Immediately, a hundred people fell silent, deep in thought.
After some time, Ma Wenlong muttered to himself, "Heroic Hall? No, that name has already been taken by another faction. Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty—those have also been claimed by Major Powers. What should we call ourselves?"
"Since Chang'an has Yaochi, how about we call ourselves Dragon Pool?" Song Hansong suggested.
The name Dragon Pool was fairly decent, but opinions were divided. Some agreed while others disagreed. One person remarked, "If that gets out, we will definitely be bullied and suppressed by some Major Powers."
"What are we afraid of!" The speaker's confidence seemed somewhat lacking.
"Clouds separate fortunes and battles; death and palace departments," Tian Shou suddenly interjected.
The name of the Cloud faction may seem ordinary, but even though it carries the name "Lian Yun," it doesn't appear to be centered around it. In reality, it faithfully represents the power of Lian Yun. Moreover, the names of the four departments exude a commanding presence and extraordinary spirit.
"Sure~~"
"Not bad~~"
"What about Cloud something, Pavilion, Villa, Fortress?"
"How about Cloud Manor?"
"Oh~~ that works, not bad at all."
"Uh~~ White Cloud Manor, Cloud Manor?"
"Let's call it Cloud Realm! I hope that even if you can't leave this place in the future, you'll still have enough freedom," Lian Yun decided.
Cloud Realm may not sound particularly grand, but it carries a hint of ethereal charm and embodies the essence of natural order. Just as Lian Yun hoped, it suggests a sense of freedom.
Lian Yun decided that no one opposed the name, yet everyone looked at Lian Yun with a hint of admiration.
