The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

When Lu Shi was the only one left in Chaoyang Hall, the system for watching the show finally arrived, and it was so late that it was impossible to even eat hot shit.

She clung to the door and poked her head out to look inside the hall.

Seeing no one around, she called out to the dazed Lu Shi, "Host, aren't you here to look for Xie Yue? Where are they? Why are you the only one here? Even the shadow guards in the dark are gone."

"Eh?" The system then realized something was amiss. "Host, I just checked. Why are all the shadow guards in the palace gone? Did Xie Yue withdraw all his men?"

"Did you have a quarrel?"

"But last time you had a fight, the number of Shadow Guards increased instead of decreasing. How come not a single one was left this time?"

Lu Shi stroked the broken red rope in his hand, lowered his eyes and ignored the chattering system, nor was he in the mood to answer her questions.

Seeing that the person didn't say anything and looked very strange, the system bravely moved closer.

Then I saw the broken red rope.

Her expression was extremely shocked. "Isn't this Yue Lao's red string? I remember you gave it to Xie Yue. How come it suddenly broke..."

As if it had thought of something, the system suddenly became speechless.

What else can a broken red string represent?

This means the relationship is over...

And it was a unilateral break, the one at Lu Shi's was still intact.

However, the two lines come from the same source. If one is broken, the other will become a decoration.

The setting sun outside the hall was like blood, shining obliquely on Lu Shi's face, but it could not bring any warmth.

Lu Shi stood quietly in the hall, his eyes slightly lowered, his thin lips tightly closed, and his expression indifferent.

After a long moment, she opened her thin lips and uttered a low, hoarse voice from the depths of her throat: "System, how do we send Xie Yue back?"

The system quickly responded, "Where are you going back to?"

"Back to his world."

"Oh." The system nodded in understanding.

It seems that this time the commotion is really big.

"It's easy to send him back. Your divine power can do it."

After saying this, the system patted its head speechlessly, "I forgot, you don't have much divine power in the small world."

"But doesn't he have to complete the mission or collect enough points before he can go back? He's a little slow on the mission, so you can just give him the points."

"Send points? Can your system also send points to each other?"

"Yes, systems can communicate with each other, but the higher-level system must actively communicate with the lower-level system, otherwise the lower-level system will not be able to detect the higher-level system."

"Is that so? Do I have enough points?"

Lu Shi's thumb unconsciously hooked her index finger, each time with greater force, but she herself seemed not to feel the pain.

The system laughed exaggeratedly, "How could you not have any points?"

"To put it bluntly, points are the merits you've accumulated. Even if you don't complete many tasks and don't have many points, as a god, how can you be short of merits?"

The golden light of merit on her body almost blinded her eyes. A little merit can be exchanged for thousands of times of points, so her host's points are extremely numerous.

Moreover, after completing tasks in several worlds, Lu Shi had accumulated 100,000 points, which was enough without having to convert them into merits.

"Xie Yue already has 10,000 points. Host, just transfer 90,000 points to him."

"No need, give it all to him. Can't the extra points be exchanged for items in the system mall? I owe him that."

"Okay, then I'll go talk to his system later."

The system was scrolling through the system panel in her mind, and was about to find a way to communicate with Xie Yue's system, but in a flash, she suddenly remembered another thing.

She looked at Lu Shi suddenly and said in a serious tone, "Host, if Xie Yue goes back, your mission will fail!"

"So, what happens if you fail?"

Putting the red rope into the space, Lu Shi met the system's gaze, his voice still faint.

"You are a god, what can we do to you?" The system rolled its eyes.

"Even if you don't have any points, you can't stay in this world anymore. This body will die immediately, and you will go to the next world."

"In addition, you must compensate the original owner for the losses."

The system began to scroll through the panels again, and after a while, it spoke to Lu Shi, "I just asked for you. The original owner wanted the Great Sheng Nation to no longer experience the disaster of national destruction, and the people of the Great Sheng to no longer suffer the hardship of displacement."

"So, you can't let Xie Yue go back now. At least you have to deal with the affairs of Dasheng Kingdom."

"I see."

Lu Shi moved his stiff body and finally took a step forward.

Seeing this, the system immediately followed.

"Where's Long Sui?"

"We should reach the capital in another hour."

"Well, you can ask her to come to the palace when the time comes... Never mind, I'll go by myself."

……

An hour later, Long Sui's group arrived in the capital.

There was no rush to report back. Long Sui decided to go back and change clothes first, and then go to the palace to find Xie Yue tomorrow morning.

She took Princess Changning back to her general's mansion first.

But when she returned home, someone was already waiting for her.

As soon as he entered the house, a servant came to report, "General, His Majesty has been waiting in the house for a long time."

Long Sui asked doubtfully as they walked, "Strange, how did she know I would be back today?"

"I don't know."

"You go down first and take good care of Princess Changning."

"Yes."

Long Sui walked quickly into the living room, and his voice arrived before he arrived.

"Little Emperor, I heard you've been waiting for me for an hour. What's the hurry?"

After finishing the tea in one gulp, Lu Shi stood up, holding a small box in his hand, his face expressionless and his voice emotionless.

"Go to the study and talk."

Long Sui frowned slightly as he looked at Lu Shi who had gone ahead, and his doubts grew even more intense.

What happened?

How come the little emperor seems like a completely different person?

In the study room of the General's Mansion.

Long Sui felt an ominous premonition when she took the box that Lu Shi handed to her.

"Why are you giving me a box? What's in it? Is it the reward I brought back for Princess Changning?"

"Is it gold?"

Long Sui weighed the box and said, "No, the weight is wrong. Could it be banknotes?"

"Then let me tell you, I won't do it for less money."

Lu Shi didn't respond. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Long Sui.

Long Sui clearly realized that something was wrong with him, but he still wanted to deceive himself. Why?

She is obviously so smart.

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Long Sui didn't move, but just stared at Lu Shi, as if she didn't know her.

"Little Emperor, why are you so strange today? You seem a little different from before."

"Really? Maybe you're not in a good mood."

"Not like."

"...Then it doesn't look like that."

She just didn't want to pretend to be the original owner anymore, since the mission had failed anyway.

"The box, don't you want to open it and take a look?"

Lu Shi forced a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Long Sui opened the box with confusion, and a roll of yellow brocade came into view.

Imperial decree?

Why did the little emperor give her the imperial edict when he was fine? Was he going to give himself a promotion?

She picked up the imperial edict and slowly opened it.

There were only two short lines of words on the imperial edict, but it shocked Long Sui so much that he almost couldn't hold the edict in his hand.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

She put away the imperial edict, having already determined that something was wrong with Lu Shi and Xie Yue.

As they looked at each other, Lu Shi's deep, dark eyes seemed to be dipped in ink, and there was no end to them when they stared.

"Abdicate?"

"To me?"

"Why?"
