After leaving Lu Yuliu’s room, Luo Wusheng went straight to visit his junior sister.
This time, Bai Xiaoyao didn’t turn him away at the door.
Indeed, she had just “conveniently” finished a session of cultivation and “happened” to have a break from her seclusion, which gave her time to hear her senior brother recount the events of last night.
Perhaps due to the frequent occurrences of various events, she was gradually freeing herself from the shadow cast by her emotional outburst on that day. Her mental state had somewhat recovered by now, and when they met like this, the young girl didn’t seem to have any major issues.
And as a dependable senior brother, Luo Wusheng naturally wouldn’t bring up any topics like “closets” at a time like this. He also refrained from extracting the mind-reading gem from his left eye, so as not to trigger his junior sister’s stress response.
Finally, after Luo Wusheng finished recounting the same content he had told Miss Sword Fairy earlier, Bai Xiaoyao clearly fell into contemplation as well.
However, she ultimately didn’t continue to dwell on these events that were far beyond her level. Instead, she subtly shifted the topic.
Two days ago, Luo Wusheng had been in seclusion, so Bai Xiaoyao, as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, had taken care of the affairs of the Demon Artifact Pavilion on his behalf.
She was well aware that her senior brother had already completed the layout of the Demon Artifact Pavilion. In the future, he might not have much time to manage the pavilion himself. With her thoughtful disposition, she reorganized the distribution of tasks within the pavilion, ensuring that its operations could continue smoothly even without direct intervention.
After everything was settled, Bai Xiaoyao also took the opportunity to tally up the astonishing earnings of the Demon Artifact Pavilion over the past few days.
After hearing this, a rare expression of surprise appeared on Luo Wusheng’s face.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the sizable income, which he had expected. After all, he had almost lost his concept of money at this point.
What surprised him was that his junior sister seemed to be even more efficient in handling affairs than he was, despite the time she spent dealing with other matters during his seclusion.
Wasn’t the time she took to handle these affairs probably not much less than the time he spent in seclusion?
On the other hand, Bai Xiaoyao was indeed the most popular manager of the Three Thousand Demon Domains. Every year, Demon Sect disciples competed fiercely to change domains just to be under her management. Clearly, her popularity wasn’t solely due to her unparalleled beauty.
Thinking like this, he exchanged a few playful words with his junior sister before dispelling her worries about the events of last night and then took his leave.
…………
As Luo Wusheng walked out of the courtyard, he pondered.
‘There were fluctuations even when I was conversing with Bai Xiaoyao…’
Looking at the Qi of Luck seed slowly returning to a stable rotation within him, he stroked his chin.
“Could it be that every time I have a conversation with someone, it triggers changes?”
Luo Wusheng mumbled to himself, wanting to find someone to test his theory.
However, when he raised his head to look around, he noticed that the citizens of the capital were all maintaining a respectful distance from him, casting him looks of awe.
This was the effect of fame becoming too overwhelming.
Since yesterday, his reputation has risen another level among the people.
He was clearly still in the Golden Core stage, yet in the eyes of these citizens, he seemed to shine even brighter than the vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators.
And thus, the scene before him unfolded.
After some contemplation, Luo Wusheng decided to visit the Demon Artifact Pavilion first.
On his way there, he could clearly sense the changes that had occurred in the royal city after the events of yesterday.
For instance, as he walked along the streets, he could feel several strong auras sweeping past him, and the number of high-level cultivators among the crowd had significantly increased.
However, the reaction of the city’s populace was much more subdued than he had imagined.
Even with the numerous events that happened yesterday, these citizens didn’t seem to show signs of excessive unease. Instead, they were mostly discussing the tremendous strength displayed by the current Empress and the formidable presence shown by a certain Holy Saint of the Demon Sect during the demon-extermination operation.
For the vast majority of people, they had at most witnessed or heard about the demon-extermination operation from last night.
The Empress wielding two starlight-infused swords in front of everyone had left a deeply impressive image in their minds.
The aura of imperial authority even reminded many long-term residents of the capital of the nearly invincible former Emperor of the immortal nation.
This point was exactly the result that the Empress intended to achieve when she personally intervened last night.
As the current Immortal Nation Empress, it was her first time revealing her strength to the public. With her early Nascent Soul stage cultivation power, she suppressed three Peak Nascent Soul stage demons within the royal city using two swords, all without causing any casualties among the citizens.
By doing so, the public’s attention naturally shifted from the schemes of the demons to the Empress’s formidable strength.
Furthermore, with the immortal nation deliberately guiding the course of public opinion, it wasn’t surprising that events unfolded in this manner.
Perhaps the only thing that exceeded the immortal nation’s expectations was the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, who had inadvertently ridden this momentum and boosted his reputation.
…………
Demon Artifact Pavilion.
Perhaps due to the multitude of events that occurred yesterday, the citizens of the royal city had flocked to various tea houses and inns to inquire about the news, resulting in a significant decrease in the customer flow for other industries.
The members of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, who had been busy for three consecutive days, finally had some rare rest time.
When Luo Wusheng arrived again after a two-day absence, he coincidentally saw the wandering cultivator Long Dahai and the False Divination Master Gao Shi chatting in the designated employee rest area. They were holding several sheets of paper in their hands.
Well, judging by Long Dahai’s character and the expression on his face, the contents of those sheets of paper definitely wouldn’t be anything serious. He would need to give them a stern talking to.
With this in mind, his curiosity got the best of him and he quietly approached the two.
However, after he saw the contents of the papers, his lips twitched.
“…Friend Gao, do you find what’s written here to be somewhat credible?”
“Um, I’m new here, and I’ve mostly lived in other provinces before. I don’t know much about the Empress or Lord Luo… But I feel that the things listed here make some sense. I’d say it’s about half believable.”
“Based on what I know about Brother Luo… He has always been a role model for us. The credibility can probably be increased by at least half. Hiss… Considering this, Brother Luo might indeed have a close relationship with the Empress? Truly remarkable, Brother Luo is like a divine being!”
As he observed the exchange of words between the two individuals, Luo Wusheng’s expression became even more peculiar.
Indeed, the content written on those papers was all about him.
Starting with the demon extermination operation from last night, the content speculated about his connection with the Immortal Nation Empress. It even went so far as to suggest that he had been prepared in advance and played a larger role than anyone else present during the event, making him and the Empress the most notable figures of the night.
Then, it reversed the logic, transforming his previous interactions with the immortal nation into an unfounded connection with the Empress.
Luo Wusheng truly hadn’t expected that before he even had a chance to speak to the Empress, rumors about him and the Empress would spread among the common folk…
Was that really necessary? Did the person who wrote this not fear being investigated by the Six Gate Bureau of Investigations tomorrow?
‘But I have to admit, the person who wrote this did get a few things right. Some of my actions were indeed related to the Empress… Too bad there’s absolutely no romantic involvement between us.’
“Ahem.”
Luo Wusheng cleared his throat with a couple of light coughs, no longer concealing his aura.
Both Long Dahai and Gao Shi visibly stiffened.
