My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying looked at the mortals who were staring at her expectantly and said gently, "I will go to the source of the Changshui River myself and take a look. I will set a time limit of one month. Within one month, you must not start any more wars. If the Changshui River flows again after one month, then everyone will be happy."

If the Changshui River remains unchanged after a month, even I cannot change fate.

Everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy, and they kowtowed in gratitude to Luo Hanying.

Luo Hanying helped the envoy in front to his feet and gestured to those behind that they did not need to kneel. She informed everyone about the large number of missing persons in small countries such as Wen and Lan in the south of Zhonghan Shenzhou and reminded them to take precautions.

"The Western Qing Kingdom is close to the Western Barbarian Divine Continent. There should be cultivation sects or aristocratic families there. You can send people there to ask for help. Ensuring peace for several decades should not be a problem."

As for the matter of Taibai Pavilion, there is no specific solution yet, and she dares not reveal it, lest mortals be terrified.

Luo Hanying expressed her opinion: "Even if you fight to the death here when the river dries up, you will not be able to irrigate the fields, revitalize the grasslands, or fatten up the cattle and sheep."

The people are the foundation of the state. When the foundation is firm, the state is at peace. Only when the people are spared the suffering of war can they live and work in peace, engage in production, and develop the country.

Only by helping and supporting each other can we build a better society together.

Luo Hanying felt that her words seemed a bit too official. They were not unaware of this principle, and they were not the rulers of a country, so they could not make decisions.

She then inquired about the situation in the surrounding small countries, and the two envoys dared not conceal anything, telling her everything they could think of.

Halfway through her sentence, Luo Hanying took out a communication jade slip and connected to the call. Jin Caiyu's voice came from the other end, asking where she was.

Luo Hanying tossed out a silence array plate, explaining that she was currently located on the border between the Western Qing Kingdom and the Northern Mu Kingdom in the northwest of the Central Han Divine Continent.

Jin Caiyu explained the details of what had just happened, including some of Ji Daoyun's speculations.

The disciples of the Shiren Sect were active in Jinwu County and Youlin County, unlike the Xiying Sect and others who had made no progress. They discovered a lot of key information, and their investigation had a real impact on the conspiracy between the Canghai Realm cultivators and Taibai Pavilion. Therefore, they wanted to eliminate them first.

Setting up a dark alchemy cauldron or a formation for transferring spiritual energy is troublesome and easily discovered by those familiar with such things. Therefore, they use hidden teleportation arrays to randomly teleport them apart and defeat them one by one.

Meanwhile, Nan Huachao and the others, who were not in the formation, were attacked and suffered injuries of varying degrees. They have already evacuated Tonghua Town and returned to the Lu family.

As for Song Yingshi and others from Youlin County, they are temporarily out of contact.

"Junior Uncle said he couldn't give us all the instructions, so he told us to pass them on to each other in private. We must not reveal our identities as disciples of the Blade Sect. The cultivators of the Canghai Realm and Taibai Pavilion now regard us as thorns in their side. Once they discover our identities, they will definitely not let us go."

Especially you, your abilities can restrain them. My junior uncle asked me to tell you to keep a low profile and not to use your poetry unless absolutely necessary.

Luo Hanying readily agreed and asked them what to do next.

Jin Caiyu said, "We are now scattered all over the world. Junior Uncle's idea is that we should travel on our own first. The sect will contact us to let us know where our nearest fellow disciples are, so that we can reunite and help people while ensuring our own safety."

Luo Hanying asked worriedly, "What about Senior Sister Song and the others? Does their disappearance mean they're in danger?"

Jin Caiyu looked distressed: "I guess so. Junior Uncle has already asked the Lu family and Xiying Sect to go to Youlin County to help."

I heard that Song Jinmi, the daughter of the Xiying Sect's leader, is personally leading the charge. She wields the divine weapon, the Jingsha Spear, capable of vanquishing a hundred evil spirits with a single thrust. With her here, my worries are lessened. I only hope that Senior Sister Song and the others can hold out a little longer.”

Hearing Luo Hanying's worried sighs, Jin Caiyu comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Your status is different from ours, so you need to be extra careful. Don't sleep too soundly at night. If you encounter assassins again, how can you cope without us by your side?"

Although Jin Caiyu looks younger and more lively than Luo Hanying, she is actually more than three cycles older than Luo Hanying, so she naturally cares about her.

After a moment's thought, Luo Hanying said her plan: "I understand. I'll go to Changshui County first."

Ruan Chayan's destination is Changshui County. I am closest to her now, and Jin Si is with her. It is safest for me to follow her.

Moreover, the mortals here are suffering greatly from natural disasters and man-made calamities; I cannot stand idly by.

Jin Caiyu said she understood and would report the situation to the sect.

Luo Hanying severed communication with Jin Caiyu, put away the silence array, and let the envoy continue to describe the situation here.

After listening to their words, Luo Hanying looked at the map that had not been put away and thought for a moment before asking, "The Changshui River has been dry for three years and then there was a severe drought for another year. In addition to your two countries, the Fengxin Kingdom on the south bank of the Changshui River should also have been affected."

Are migrants now heading south and east, leaving thousands of people starving to death?

The terrain of Canglan Realm is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. Zhonghan Shenzhou is mostly basins, and continuous lakes and swamps separate Zhonghan Shenzhou from Donglai Shenzhou.

The Changshui River originates in the northwest, which is mountainous and prone to drought. If people are displaced, they are most likely to seek a living in the plains, especially in the southern part of the country.

The four seasons in Nan Yue Shen Zhou are not as distinct as those in Zhong Han Shen Zhou. The climate is mild year after year, and the vegetation is lush. Even if they have to eat tree bark and grass roots, they should still go south.

However, the kingdoms of Wen, Zhou, and Lan, which are close to Nan Yue Shenzhou, are at war, so moving south and eastward toward Dong Lai Shenzhou is the choice of most people.

The envoy from the Northern Mu Kingdom spoke Mandarin with an accent, making it particularly difficult to understand: "What the immortal says is correct; that is indeed the case."

If it weren't for the displacement of our people, we wouldn't have wanted to fight the Western Qing Kingdom.

Although the Changshui River in Xiqing Kingdom is muddy, at least their upstream areas still have water. It's us downstream people who suffer; the grasslands are withered, we don't even have wild grass to eat, let alone cattle and sheep.

The envoy from the Western Qing Kingdom looked frail, but his aura was in no way inferior: "Although the source of the Changshui River is within our territory, how can such a great river be stopped by human power?"

You know perfectly well that we are innocent, yet you still use this as an excuse to start a war…

Seeing that the envoys from the Western Qing Kingdom were agitated and about to list the faults of the Northern Mu Kingdom, Luo Hanying quickly interrupted them to prevent the crowd from arguing again.

She took out a small cloth bag from her Qiankun bag, along with several medicinal herbs.

Luo Hanying distributed the seeds and medicinal herbs from the cloth bag to the two envoys, saying, "These are seeds of the Bitter Heart Flower."

As you can see, mature plants of the bitter jasmine have thick leaves, full petals, and a robust main stem.

As she spoke, she broke open the bitter flower in her hand and showed it to the two of them, and continued, "The bitter flower is a medicinal herb that clears heat and detoxifies. It is sweet and cold, clears heat without harming the stomach, and the whole plant is edible, except for the bitter taste of the flower heart."

It disregards its growing environment, is cold- and drought-resistant, and can grow in just one month. It is the cheapest medicinal material in the cultivation world, and it would be an insult to the name of a spiritual medicine to even be considered one, but you need it.

Although the number of seeds is small and cannot solve the immediate crisis, as long as they are propagated, the people will have another food source to fill their stomachs, and if there is another severe drought in the future, they will not have to be so strapped for cash.

My strength is meager, my voice carries little weight, and this is all I can do for you.
