Compared to the three generations of patriarchs before him, Shen Xiuyan, the fourth-generation patriarch, seems more focused on strict laws.
The additions to the clan rules in his hands mostly impose strict constraints on the cultivators under his rule.
Closing the clan rules, Shen Yuan looked at Shen Xiuyan in his white scholar robe, with his hair tied in a bun and a calm expression, and sighed inwardly.
"This brat, in ancient times, would be akin to Wei Yang or Han Fei."
Pushing the clan rules back to the two before him, Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Strict laws are good, but one cannot extinguish humanity with the law."
"I will not interfere too much with the specific amendments; you two should consider it yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming turned to look at Shen Xiuyan.
