Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 848: Chapter 330: Longshan System Gathering, Simplified Sect System

Just as everyone in Xia City was preparing to welcome the Cold Element Festival.

In a gathering hall on the second floor of the main building, there was a large group of people gathered here, sitting silently on chairs with very solemn expressions.

Up front were Meng Ying, Jiang Ping, Yue Qian, Cheng Guang, Zhou Yuan, Sun Yan, Song Kang, the seven Vajra of Long Mountain; in the middle were Xu Shicheng, Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Shan, Yuan Ning, Lu Yushan, Wang Tao, Liu Chang, fourteen strong Cold Resistance level men; and at the back were Cheng He, Meng Tian and dozens of younger individuals from the next generation.

Clearly, this was a gathering exclusive to the Longshan System, and all present were key members of the former Longshan Camp.

Everyone’s gaze occasionally swept toward the door, clearly waiting for something.

“Hahaha…”

Suddenly, an old laugh came from the door, and Li Tiancheng quickly walked in from outside, his face full of irrepressible laughter.

Everyone stood up, and the seven in front, seeing Li Tiancheng’s expression, immediately realized something, and all their solemn faces instantly turned joyful.

“Elder Li, is Madam alright?”

“Surely nothing’s wrong, mother and child must be safe, otherwise Elder Li wouldn’t be smiling so happily.”

“I told you, the two young lords are blessed, nothing will happen.”

“That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful, as long as the two young lords are okay!”

……

Clearly, everyone was gathered here to inquire about the situation with Li Xuanling’s unborn child.

Li Tiancheng walked to the front of the crowd, smiling and nodding as he began to speak: “The Jade Dew Stone has been refined, Madam is fine, mother and child are safe.”

Looking at the old Longshan people, Li Tiancheng’s expression was somewhat complex, and he gently sighed, “You shouldn’t be gathering here, if the Lord finds out, it will be difficult to escape accusations of forming cliques!”

Everyone was briefly stunned by his words, then turned to look around, immediately realizing the reason Li Tiancheng said this.

Meng Ying was obviously prepared and spoke loudly, “Elder Li is overthinking, we are gathered here not for any other matter, but simply because we are concerned for Madam and the safety of the two young lords, wanting to hear news from you first hand. Even if the Lord knows, he won’t blame us.”

Song Kang beside him nodded and added, “It’s natural for us to be worried; the two young lords are tied to the camp’s legacy, what crime is there?”

Upon hearing Song Kang’s words, the expressions of the Longshan people became subtle, then they reacted and began nodding in agreement.

“Exactly, the two young lords, after all, are the Lord’s eldest sons, destined to take over Great Xia in the future; our concern is justified!”

“Even if the Lord marries other women in the future, the status of the two young lords as the eldest sons remains, tied to the legacy of Great Xia, we naturally need to be concerned.”

“Forgive my disrespect, but the Lord will eventually grow old, and one of the two young lords will undoubtedly take over as Lord; showing concern for them is caring for the future Lord, what crime is there?”

………

Hearing everyone’s words, Li Tiancheng’s old face flushed slightly, his pupils revealing obvious excitement.

Last night at Yangyuan Peak, upon learning Li Xuanling was pregnant, the fear in his heart as an external grandfather was probably no less than that of Xia Hong as a father.

What Li Xuanling’s unborn child signifies, he understands much more clearly than Meng Ying, Cheng Guang, and these people.

It is Xia Hong’s eldest offspring, indisputably the first in line to inherit, and destined to be the next Lord of Great Xia.

And this future new Lord has half the bloodline of the Li Family.

This is the main reason why the old Longshan faction gathered here tonight.

From the moment Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu left Long Mountain, the downfall of the Li Family was inevitably irreversible. During these two months in Xia City, Li Tiancheng had already attempted to contact Li Hu several times, but this grandson’s hatred for the Li Family seemed to have deeply permeated his bones, changing his mind in the short term is certainly impossible.

Under such circumstances, hoping to raise the banner of the Li Family again in Xia City, to gather the old followers of Meng Ying and Cheng Guang together again, is already hopeless.

But now, Li Xuanling’s unborn twins provide Li Tiancheng with a renewed opportunity, an excellent chance to reunite the old Longshan followers within Great Xia.

It’s not that he likes forming factions; humans are organizational creatures, let alone in a Great Xia now with a population exceeding 400,000.

Arriving in Xia City in October, over the first two months, Li Tiancheng had come to roughly understand that the internal factions within Great Xia are extraordinarily numerous and complex.

The largest and most favored by Xia Hong is certainly the Redwood Ridge faction.

The Redwood Ridge faction splits into two smaller groups: one that followed Xia Hong from the earliest days at Mud Slope, representatives like Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, Xu Ning, Lin Kai, Lu Yang, totaling around fifty Cold Resistance level individuals; this faction should be considered the largest in terms of influence currently, spanning the Seven Departments, Cold Resistance level, down to various Hunting Teams, they almost have people everywhere;

The other small group consists of old followers from the original valley Rogel Camp, represented by Luo Yuan, Zhao Long and his brothers, Cheng Feng, Bai Dongying, Bai Wuting, Tong Xinglong, with also more than forty Cold Resistance level individuals, led mainly by Deputy Director of the Hunting Department Luo Yuan, with Cheng Feng and Bai Dongying in charge of the Harvesting Department, their influence is not small either.

The two sub-groups of the Redwood Ridge faction boast Cold Resistance level numbers exceeding one hundred, nearly half of the total number of Cold Resistance level members in Great Xia, and both parties maintain harmonious relations on a daily basis, rarely experiencing any conflicts, which is the primary reason why they are heavily relied upon by Xia Hong and Xia Chuan.
