A Qualified Person
Luo Zheng hadn't expected this woman to pay attention to him.
After all, it was Lai Huabei who had presented her with the Azure Edge Sword, not Luo Zheng.
He really shouldn't have revealed such an expression …
After some thought, Luo Zheng immediately revealed a worried expression and said, "Such a generous reward is indeed astonishing. I … I'm just worried that Brother Huabei might not be able to bear it. As the saying goes, an ordinary man's wealth is his own ruin."
The pale-faced woman looked at Luo Zheng and said thoughtfully, "So you're worried about this problem … It's not hard to solve … just give him a portion of it … but you're right. If the entire reward is given to Lai Huabei … I'm afraid many people in the Dao Sword Palace will become restless."
Lai Huabei's expression became nervous. He looked at the woman and asked, "Then what should I do?"
The pale-faced woman calmly glanced at Lai Huabei and then looked away. At the same time, she said, "What you do … has nothing to do with me … if you can find ten people, I'll take you on a journey … I'll only wait for one day."
After saying this, her figure gently floated away.
The three azure-clothed men from the Dao Sword Palace followed her. The Lord of Heaven's Wall City was afraid of neglecting them and also followed closely behind.
Only Luo Zheng, Lai Huabei, and the Qi Clan guards remained.
The Qi Clan guards didn't dare to have any thoughts of revenge. After confirming that the woman wouldn't cause trouble for them, they all fled as fast as they could.
Lai Huabei's expression was still nervous. The more he thought about Luo Zheng's words, the more reasonable they made sense. He asked, "Brother Luo Zheng, what … what do you think I should do?"
Luo Zheng smiled and comforted him, "Brother Huabei, there's no need to be too anxious. Although the Dao Sword Palace's reward is enormous, you can just refuse it."
"Refuse?" Lai Huabei was slightly taken aback.
This sum of wealth was enough to make the Lai Clan a great power in the entire Tiandu Province. Not everyone could casually refuse such a reward.
Lai Huabei's face revealed hesitation and even a trace of pain.
"After all, if you obtain this cenotaph, won't you achieve your goal of joining the Dao Sword Palace? If you are obsessed with this large amount of wealth, you will only bring more trouble to yourself, and even bring about the disaster of death, "Luo Zheng continued.
Of course, he was doing this for Lai Huabei's sake, but that was all he could say. As for what choice Lai Huabei would make, Luo Zheng would not interfere too much.
Humans would die in pursuit of wealth, and birds would die in pursuit of food. Even true gods were no exception. It was just that the wealth here had become "God Crystals" instead of the usual gold and silver. Not everyone could resist the temptation of such a huge amount of wealth.
Apart from this wealth, Lai Huabei also had 10 spots to enter the Dao Sword Palace.
All the large and small clans in the Heaven's Wall City had also heard the news. On the same day, dozens of Patriarchs had already paid a visit to Lai Huabei, hoping to buy a slot from him at a high price.
Even the city lord of the Heaven's Wall city returned after making arrangements for the four people from the Dao Sword Palace. He hoped to obtain one or two spots from Lai Huabei.
Lai Huabei did not forget about his good friends. When the three of them who had gone into the cave with Luo Zheng that day heard this news, they were all wild with joy. Although they had not done much, they had still risked their lives. This was the best reward for them.
Luo Zheng did not need this spot, but Lai Huabei did his best to give it to him. Just as Luo Zheng was trying to refuse, the city lord of the Heaven's Wall city said, "Friend Luo Zheng, the Autumn College has asked me to pass a message to you."
"What?" Luo Zheng was slightly taken aback. He did not know why the woman would ask the city lord to pass a message to him.
"The Autumn College has said that if you go, she will give you a special spot. Also … if you stay in the Tiandu province, the Qi family will definitely seek revenge. If the Qi family sends people to kill you, it will probably bring about a lot of trouble," the city lord said.
Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Although these words were vague, there was clearly a hint of coercion in them.
But why did the woman want him to join the Dao Sword Palace?
If Luo Zheng really wanted to join a superpower, he had better choices. Even though Mount Li was very far away from here, if Luo Zheng set his mind on going, he would be able to reach Mount Li one day after spending a lot of time. There, he would not only be able to receive Ming Wei's protection, but he would also be able to be with Luo Yan.
Just as Luo Zheng was about to refuse, 9527 suddenly said, "Luo Zheng, agree."
"What do you mean?" Luo Zheng asked.
Chi You and 9527 had told him something. Luo Zheng had repeatedly asked 9527, but 9527 had refused to tell him. As a result, Luo Zheng did not know what to do now. Now, he suddenly wanted him to join the Dao Sword Palace.
"Listen to me," 9527 continued.
"You still haven't told me the reason!" Luo Zheng was a little dissatisfied.
"But that's what Chi You told me. So I'll help you plan your future path." 9527 laughed.
"What do you think I am?" Luo Zheng's face darkened.
"A pawn," 9527 joked.
"Why don't you go and die …"
Although Luo Zheng did not know 9527's real plan, he still reluctantly agreed.
Convincing Luo Zheng was originally Qiu Xuegong's task. Seeing that Luo Zheng had changed his mind and agreed, the Heaven's Wall City Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Heaven's Wall City Lord also knew what Qiu Xuegong had his eyes on. It was most likely the Dao Fusion Theurgy that Luo Zheng had previously displayed. For someone who could fuse so many Divine Daos, even if he had not reached the Nirvana Realm, his talent was terrifying.
Of course, a true god's lifespan was unlimited. If Luo Zheng's bone age was tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, it would not be a big deal if he cultivated hundreds or even thousands of Divine Daos. However, this kid's bone age was not even 200 years old …
Since Luo Zheng had been specially approved by that woman, Lai Huabei only had six spots left.
Of these six spots, two were allocated to the Lai Family's disciples, two were given to the Heaven's Wall City Lord, and the remaining two were allocated to the two Distinguished Families of Heaven's Wall City. Everyone was happy. The Lai Family was not considered a big family in Heaven's Wall City. In the future, they would probably rise because of Lai Huabei.
The next day, Heaven's Wall City, East Port.
The Heaven's Wall City Lord led many people to send them off.
The pale-faced woman held the Green Edge Longsword in her hand. There was a lingering sadness in her eyes that could not be wiped away.
Actually, she did not reveal all the information. The owner of this Green Edge Longsword was her father.
A few hundred years had passed, and the pain in her heart had already calmed down. However, her father's death involved many aspects. Returning to the Dao Sword Palace this time would probably cause quite a lot of trouble …
As she thought, her gaze swept down the spacious flying boat and finally landed on Luo Zheng.
