"Alright." Master Murong's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "Since you already have your own residence, Lord Governor, the other organizations will serve the governor's palace and not the Murong family. I would like to ask for the title of a first-class organization from you, Lord Governor. Would that be possible?"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent.
She could not possibly stay in Black Rock City forever. She needed someone to manage things here. The Three Great Authorities were quite powerful but the Murong family had followed her for a longer time and their feelings for her ran deeper. This position could only be given to the Murong family.
Master Murong felt a little nervous as he stared at the look on Gu Ruoyun's face. He suddenly felt that his request was too abrupt. If the Lord Governor were to think that he was being too greedy, he would never be able to recover his previous impression of her.
Just as Master Murong was about to change his mind, the woman's calm voice slowly rang out, "I agree to your request. If I leave Black Rock City, you shall manage Black Rock City."
What?
Master Murong did not return to his senses for a moment and began to suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.
After all, in Black Rock City, he was not even ranked in terms of power. Yet, Gu Ruoyun had given up on Mei Xue and the other two most powerful people and placed him in charge of Black Rock City.
How much trust does she have in me for her to make such a decision?
Master Murong felt very touched, "Lord Governor, don't worry, I won't let you down."
"I'm going to continue my cultivation. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me. Furthermore, Mo Liyou is not bad, you can make him your right-hand man."
To have a Martial Honor as his right-hand man, this was something that Old Man Gu had never even considered.
Now that he had the chance, how could he not be excited?
At this moment, he secretly swore to himself that he would never betray Gu Ruoyun's trust in him.
Even if she were to leave Black Rock City one day, he would develop Black Rock City and wait for her return.
...
The construction of the governor's palace, even at the fastest speed, would require a few months.
In the past few months, Gu Ruoyun had sent countless people to secretly gather information about the Hell's Lotus but they had not yielded any results. As for Gu Ruoyun, she had also made quite a bit of progress over the past few months. Even though she has yet to break through to the rank of a mid-level Martial Honor, she can now control the power of a low-level Martial Honor with ease. Now, if she were to face a high-level Martial Honor, she would be able to fight them to a draw.
Of course, the most effective thing was that when the disciples of Black Rock City saw that she could go into closed-door cultivation for months on end, they had unwittingly created a cultivation storm.
From their point of view, Gu Ruoyun's current achievements were inextricably linked to her seizing every second in her cultivation.
Even a genius like her didn't forget to work hard, so what right did they have to be lazy?
Hence, the result of Gu Ruoyun's cultivation was to increase the power of Black Rock City by another level.
However, the moment the City Lord's Mansion was built, she received a piece of news.
Naturally, this news had nothing to do with the Hell's Lotus. It was that Ye Nuo had finally been convinced by Ye Lan and was willing to follow him back to the Ye family home.
However, before he left, Ye Nuo had hugged Gu Ruoyun and cried with snot and tears all over his face. In the end, Ye Lan could not stand it any longer. He grabbed Ye Nuo by the lapels of his robes like an eagle grabbing a chick and dragged him out. He really did not want this fellow to embarrass himself here.
However, it was obvious that Ye Lan's dissatisfaction could not stop Ye Nuo. Hence, the entire Murong family home was filled with his childish yet high-spirited voice.
"Bodyguard Gu, I'm leaving. You must miss me. I'll come back for you. When I return, I want to take you as my wife!"
Gu Ruoyun's face instantly turned black. A ten-year-old brat is saying that he wants to take me as his wife? This feeling … was too awkward.
