Chapter 16 - #16Chapter 16 Assignment of tasks

"Lord City Master, Lu Xue, she should just be angry for a moment. After all, you..."

At this moment, Ancient Dust remembered this matter and spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Daosheng nodded and sighed heavily.

This was the first time he had left Lu Xue, and this departure lasted for three hundred years. He couldn't even imagine how his daughter had lived through those three hundred years without him.

"Lord City Master Lu, your daughter might have misunderstood something."

Beside him, Ouyang Yanqing suddenly laughed.

"Huh? What misunderstanding?"

Lu Daosheng asked, puzzled.

"Your daughter probably mistook me. Let me ask you, have you ever brought other women back?"

Ouyang Yanqing recalled the look in Lu Daosheng's daughter's eyes at the time, then smiled faintly.

As a woman, she understood this very well.

Upon hearing Ouyang Yanqing's words, Lu Daosheng was only stunned for a moment before he immediately understood.

Clap!

Lu Daosheng slapped his forehead.

Why was his reaction so slow?

He had wondered why his daughter was treating him this way; it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

However, it was understandable for his daughter to have some resentment towards him for not returning for three hundred years.

After all, even he had some resentment deep down when his own wife didn't return for more than ten years, let alone his daughter's father.

Lu Daosheng shook his head where he stood.

He would explain to Lu Xue after she calmed down a bit.

Beside him, Ancient Dust said, "Lord City Master, just leave Lu Xue to me."

Hearing this, Lu Daosheng finally showed his first smile since returning.

"You've worked hard all these years."

Then Lu Daosheng handed Ancient Dust a cosmic crystal stone.

"This item will be of great help for you to Breakthrough to the next Realm."

Seeing the cosmic crystal stone, Ancient Dust was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Lord City Master, you are too kind. Lu Xue is my disciple, and this is my duty."

Hearing this, Lu Daosheng nodded.

Then the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ancient Dust departed.

Beside him, Ouyang Yanqing said with a hint of envy, "He's only in the Dao Realm, and you're giving him a cosmic crystal stone. Isn't that too extravagant?"

Lu Daosheng didn't answer, but instead smiled and said, "You are the first guest I've brought back to Huang City. If you like it here, you can stay for more days. Whenever you miss home, just come find me."

Hearing this, Ouyang Yanqing understood that Lu Daosheng was about to get busy.

Then Ouyang Yanqing quickly said, "Okay, okay, you go ahead. I'll just look around by myself."

Her tone contained a hint of eagerness.

She even wanted to stay here forever in this environment.

And now, since the Lord City Master had spoken, she wouldn't be polite.

Seeing this, Lu Daosheng said nothing more.

"Then you be careful."

Then Lu Daosheng disappeared from where he stood.

Seeing Lu Daosheng leave, Ouyang Yanqing cautiously sensed her surroundings, and after confirming there were no terrifying presences, she slowly revealed a smile.

"If only this were my Eternal God Hall."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so many. Which one should I start with?"

After a brief moment of thought, Ouyang Yanqing skipped and hopped to the ancient tree of enlightenment.

It was hard to believe that the Lord of Eternity, who was dreaded in the Eternal Star System, had become like this here.

...

Somewhere in the Void Realm of Huang City.

Lu Daosheng had opened up a small space with his bare hands.

The next moment, Lu Daosheng waved his hand, and dozens of people appeared before him.

There was A Wei, guards from the Lord City Master's Mansion, servants, and also the Nameless Man and other existences Lu Daosheng had taken in from outside.

"We pay our respects to the Lord City Master."

A Wei and the others from the Lord City Master's Mansion, upon seeing Lu Daosheng, immediately bowed respectfully.

Seeing A Wei and the others, Lu Daosheng showed a satisfied smile.

"You've all worked hard these past days."

The flow of time inside the palm world was different from the outside world. He had done this intentionally, wanting them to increase their strength in a short period of time.

And now, the effect was clearly very good.

At this moment, A Wei and the others were all at least Saint level existences.

To reach this Realm, it required not only the accumulation of resources but also ample time.

Because in the palm world, A Wei and the others had already lived for ten thousand years. This was the terrifying means of the Heavenly Fate Realm.

During these ten thousand years, Lu Daosheng would also guide them from time to time.

And now, it was finally time to reap the harvest.

Hearing Lu Daosheng's words, A Wei and the others' eyes were slightly red.

Their current achievements were all bestowed by their Lord City Master, Lu Daosheng.

They knew this clearly in their hearts.

And they Cultivated so diligently for the sole purpose of being able to help the Lord City Master one day.

Looking at the unfamiliar crowd around them, they knew that their Lord City Master was about to accomplish something great.

"Lord City Master, from now on, we will do our utmost to serve you."

A Wei was the first to speak.

Behind him, the others from the Lord City Master's Mansion also quickly said, "Lord City Master, us too."

Looking at A Wei, who had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Lu Daosheng was very pleased.

Buzz—

The next moment, an aggressive long saber appeared in Lu Daosheng's hand.

Immediately, everyone present felt a surge of violent energy.

Lu Daosheng gently stroked the long saber, and it instantly fell silent.

"This saber is called Heaven-Slaying. From now on, it is yours."

Handing the long saber to A Wei, Lu Daosheng spoke.

Taking the long saber, A Wei heavily kowtowed to Lu Daosheng.

"Thank you, Lord City Master, for bestowing this saber."

Lu Daosheng nodded, then gave a few instructions.

From now on, the people of their Lord City Master's Mansion would be responsible for all rule-related matters within Huang City. Anyone who violated his rules could be immediately executed on the spot.

And A Wei also gained some special privileges, such as being able to recruit some extraordinary talents to expand the population of the Lord City Master's Mansion, and all of these would be managed by him.

Waving his hand, A Wei and the others departed.

Then, only the powerful Geniuses he had recruited from outside remained.

"Nameless."

...

It took a long time for the Nameless Man to realize he was being called.

"Lord City Master."

In the palm of time, he had also received Lu Daosheng's help, and his strength had improved. He also learned Lu Daosheng's identity.

The Lord City Master of Huang City. Although he still didn't know what Huang City looked like, he could tell from common sense that it was definitely not simple.

Just that palm world alone was already beyond his imagination.

Looking at the Nameless Man, Lu Daosheng pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, why don't you call yourself Abandoned Guardian?"

"Abandoned Guardian, what does that mean?"

"I want you to be the city guardian of my Huang City. From now on, you will be the first line of defense for my Huang City."

Hearing this, the Nameless Man was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will."

The Nameless Man didn't say much, finally agreeing.

After being defeated by Lu Daosheng at first, he had thought about Cultivating diligently to defeat Lu Daosheng. In fact, after that defeat, his strength had greatly improved, and his path had become much longer.

But when he witnessed Lu Daosheng's palm world, he realized how vast the gap was between him and Lu Daosheng.

It was too distant, even impossible.

He couldn't be muddled.

If he had to be a city guardian, then so be it.

Buzz—

At this moment, another long sword suddenly appeared in Lu Daosheng's hand.

Immediately, countless violent Sword Intent continuously surged from within the long sword.

This sword was very spiritual.

This time, Lu Daosheng did not soothe the long sword, but directly handed it to Abandoned Guardian.

Taking the long sword, Abandoned Guardian's expression immediately changed drastically.

Boom!

An aura at the Peak of the Unknown Realm instantly erupted from within Abandoned Guardian's body.

Feeling Abandoned Guardian's aura, everyone around him trembled all over, finding it hard to breathe.

Lu Daosheng pressed his hand down slightly, and only then did everyone feel better.

Inside the Desolate City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Yanqing suddenly looked up into the Void Realm, frowning slightly.

She had just felt a heart-palpitating sensation.

Huang City was indeed full of hidden talents.

"What a defiant sword."

After an unknown amount of time, Abandoned Guardian finally gained initial control over this long sword.

He had practiced the sword his entire Life, and this was the first time he had seen such a sword. The Lord City Master was indeed no ordinary person.

"This sword, from now on, is yours. I hope that one day, you will be able to completely control it."

Lu Daosheng spoke.

Hearing this, Abandoned Guardian bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord City Master, for bestowing this sword. Unless I die in battle, I will not let a single enemy enter the city."

Hearing this, Lu Daosheng nodded.

The next moment, Lu Daosheng waved his hand.

Abandoned Guardian directly appeared on the city gate of Huang City.

Looking back at the entire Huang City, Abandoned Guardian was instantly stunned.

This was Huang City?

Oh my god, I've hit the jackpot, I've hit the jackpot big time!

Looking down at the city wall beneath his feet, Abandoned Guardian held his sword and slashed at it.

Bang!

Abandoned Guardian was directly shaken back repeatedly, his entire arm losing all sensation.

And the city wall merely had a very inconspicuous scratch on it.

After a long stunned time, Abandoned Guardian muttered, "Does this city really need me to guard it?"
