Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1420 - 455: The Little Sisters Cai Shiqin, Xia Hong in the Book Collection Tower (Part 2)

Because along the way, Xia Hong frequently took them to the Slave Village for tours, evidently to make them feel the difficulties and hardships of the lower classes. Coupled with occasional inquiries into their views on the Six-class System, the intent to guide them was too obvious. Not only Su Xing’er but even her three brothers, Su Jing, could realize it.

Of course, even if they figured it out, they showed no resistance. Aside from Xia Hong’s immense favor upon them, they also deeply detested the Six-class System since their parents died because of their status.

Naturally, these thoughts could only be buried deep within for the time being.

As their master said, overthrowing a system that has been running for hundreds of years and has long been ingrained in people’s minds is not something that can be done overnight. It’s extremely difficult for him, let alone for the four siblings.

"Enhancing strength is the most crucial thing. To shake this system, at the very least, one needs a Xianyang Level cultivation to even have a bit of qualification."

Remembering Xia Hong’s words spoken on the road, Su Xing’er narrowed her gaze slightly, hesitatingly dismissed these thoughts, and continued recalling the subsequent journey.

With Qinghua City’s experience, she anticipated that entering Lin Chu County wouldn’t surprise her much, but on the day they entered on June seventh, she and her three brothers were still deeply shaken.

The Lin Chu County authorities seemed to have long been aware that they were coming.

On the day of entering the city, before they even formally entered, and right after verifying their identities at the city gate, they were courteously invited by the City Guard Army to the Governor Mansion, where Cai Qiuyang’s eldest son, the Eldest Prince Cai Yunlan, personally led over a hundred people from the mansion to welcome them.

Such high-standard treatment once again refreshed Su Xing’er’s understanding of the master’s, Xia Hong’s power, and it was at that moment that she clearly realized the true weight of Xia Hong’s previous statement, "there’s no one in Qinghua City who can threaten me."

Just like the time when they entered Qinghua City at the beginning of the year, on the night they entered Lin Chu County, Xia Hong was invited by the Eldest Prince to a banquet, but this time, the four siblings were also among those invited.

After the banquet, the Governor Mansion directly arranged for them to stay at this guest villa, and later Xia Hong settled down with them at the Governor Mansion.

Xia Hong occasionally went out, and it was unclear what he was up to. In any case, the treatment from the Governor Mansion toward the four siblings became increasingly excellent, with over thirty maids dispatched to them, and the household staff numbering over a hundred, all uniformly possessing Cold Resistance Level cultivation.

Especially last month, on September the twentieth, the Eldest Prince sent people to deliver a new Golden Registration Book to the four siblings, astonishingly upgrading their status directly to the highest cai status, the first rank.

That’s why she’s now dressed in a way equivalent to Cai Shiqin, the Commandery Princess before her.

Being inexplicably turned into cai status offspring, if she were still the naive little girl from Evergreen Valley who knew nothing, she might laugh herself awake even in her dreams.

But now it’s different; after being subtly influenced by master Xia Hong for almost a year and understanding what Xia Hong would need her to do in the future, Su Xing’er no longer sees the magical allure in this so-called registration book.

She clearly understands that regardless of their prestigious or common status, the four siblings are ultimately enjoying the benefits due to master’s Xia Hong’s glory, which bears no relation to themselves. Only by enhancing her strength and striving to help her master as early as possible, repaying his kindness, is the most important task for them at present.

Living in the County City for nearly four months, Su Xing’er never slacked off in her cultivation. When she departed from Qinghua City on April twentieth, her basic strength was more than 9-maned, and now it has reached 16-maned; a five-month improvement of 7-maned fully attests to her diligence.

Her level of diligence even slightly unnerved Xia Hong, who specifically reminded her to pace her cultivation and encouraged her to leave the guest villa and make some peers in the Governor Mansion.

Su Xing’er naturally obeys Xia Hong’s instructions.

The Little Princess Cai Shiqin in front of her was someone she just met last month.

It was a matter of chance; Su Xing’er started learning the zither and altogether has been at it for only five months. Her initial zither learning stemmed from casually singing during the road trip in May.

During a moment of boredom on the journey, she recalled the song Moao sung by Hu Tiejiang when entering Qinghua City together previously. Her three brothers were taciturn, and master Xia Hong wouldn’t chat idly with them, so feeling really bored, Su Xing’er began to sing.

To her surprise, it immediately caught Xia Hong’s attention.

Having grown up in the rustic backwater of Evergreen Valley, Su Xing’er would never imagine herself being associated with something like a zither, and when Xia Hong first presented this Five-Colored Ancient Zither, she didn’t even know it was a musical instrument.

But once she picked it up, everything changed, especially after master Xia Hong gave her a basic idea about the five tones of Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu. She had an almost miraculous talent, mastering the five zither tones in less than a day.

The subsequent experience was even more astonishing!

Though she mastered the five tones playing method, she didn’t have any sheet music and couldn’t create a complete tune, so she could only blindly explore and randomly compose.

But crafting a melody isn’t so simple, is it?

"I’ve heard people say that any musical score, as long as infused with the creator’s emotions, can touch people. Try this approach, see if it works."
