After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Don't be so ungrateful. Our sect is all female disciples, you've really gotten a good deal. If you don't agree, return the ruler, and I'll find another sect leader." The woman in green smiled, pursing her lips.

“But you’re still young, surely it can’t be that bad?” Chen Futu asked in surprise.

"Young? I'm about the same age as your mother, only my cultivation is higher and I have the skill to preserve my youth. If I lose all my cultivation one day, I will age overnight. Moreover, I almost didn't survive this calamity, so I must find a sect leader first."

“I can become the acting sect leader, but there are too many affairs in the Northern Frontier and I don’t have time to manage them. But don’t worry, the sect is full of my sisters, and I will protect them.”

"I'm not going to die anytime soon. As long as I'm alive, you don't need to take responsibility for me."

As she spoke, the woman in green suddenly appeared in front of her.

Chen Futu stared blankly at her pale yet beautiful face. "Is there anything else?"

The woman in green bent down, and at such close range, Chen Futu could almost smell her unique, cool fragrance.

"Boy, your father wronged me back then, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

“That was a despicable thing my father did, you can’t pin it on me.”

Chen Futu leaned back nervously, but the woman in green drew closer and closer, her smile widening. "The so-called sins of the father are paid by the son. Your father kept deceiving me, making empty promises. Now that he's gone, will you be the one to fulfill those promises?"

"My mother told me that boys need to protect themselves when they're out, so please don't act impulsively..."

"I have an opportunity for you. Do you want it?"

"Opportunity?"

Chen Futu didn't quite understand, then the woman in green whispered in his ear, "For example, dual cultivation can help you improve and help you reach the Grandmaster realm."

"Ah this..."

“I am not as close to your father as you think. I have never tasted the flavor of a man. Recently, I have a premonition that my days are numbered, so I might as well give this opportunity to you. It is better than you always being plotted against by bad people and being powerless to resist.”

After saying that, Qingyi sat down on his lap.

Chen Futu's hair stood on end, and he instinctively resisted, "No, you are my master and my elder. If my mother finds out, she will beat me to death."

“Little fellow, your father is a hypocrite who looks virtuous, but you are different from him. You are a lustful devil. Am I right?”

"Nonsense! I am a dignified and upright gentleman. Anyone who speaks ill of me behind my back will be my enemy!"

"This is your only chance, so tell me if you want it or not."

The woman in green seemed to be serious.

Chen Futu gazed at her pale face, feeling both resistance and agitation. However, reason ultimately prevailed over desire, and he forcefully pushed her soft body away. "Please forgive me, I will not agree. Your cultivation is extraordinary, how could you die?"

"I am the kind of person whose premonitions are always very accurate, and I thought you were different from other monarchs, but now it seems you are also a stubborn old-fashioned one. Very well, since you are unwilling, I will find someone else as your teacher."

"What do you mean?"

“If I am not here, you will not be able to take over Zhongnan Mountain yourself, so we need to find another good person to manage the sect. I think Yin Jian is a good choice. He has always liked Long Luo. If we let him marry into the family, I think he would be happy to do so and treat the people of Zhongnan Mountain sincerely.”

"Him? Pshaw!"

Chen Futu was extremely unhappy.

Why does Yin Jian have the ability to win over everyone, big and small? It's because he's destined to be a dragon knight!

"You won't accept my cultivation, nor will you let me find someone to be the future sect leader. What exactly do you intend to do?"

The woman in green's question left Chen Futu speechless. In the end, he sighed helplessly, "Can I think about it? We'll talk about it when we get back to the Northern Frontier."

After a moment's thought, Qingyi agreed. Chen Futu changed the subject and asked, "What do you mean by saying you have a premonition that your days are numbered? Does the Red Moon Pavilion still dare to make a move? How about I arrange for Li Taibai and Ake to accompany you on a trip and wipe out the Red Moon Pavilion directly to avoid any unforeseen complications?"

“Everything is predestined. You may destroy the Red Moon Tower, but you may not be able to kill all the Grandmasters. Those people will hide and then retaliate fiercely, making it even more difficult to guard against. If I am destined to suffer a calamity, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain.”

The words spoken by Qingyi were profound, concerning fate and cause and effect. Chen Futu could not understand them. Perhaps only someone with her level of strength could comprehend them.

The woman in green added, "I have a feeling that the one who attacked me wasn't from the Red Moon Pavilion..."

"Who else could it be but them? In the martial arts world, it seems that I have only offended the Red Moon Tower."

"The world is vast, and powerful people are as numerous as rain. There's still a lot you don't know. Never mind, you should get some rest."

The woman in green drifted away, her silhouette appearing somewhat desolate.

Chen Futu secretly asked the system, "What does Qingyi mean by 'not much time left'?"

[The host can use the Heavenly Ruler to upgrade the system. Once the system reaches level three, more detailed information about this world will be unlocked.]

"You know perfectly well that the Heavenly Ruler is extremely useful, yet you still ask me for it. I'll give it to you along with the key after I've used it up, and it'll let you level up twice in a row, isn't that enough?"

[The system is temporarily unable to answer the host's question. Please upgrade the system as soon as possible.]

"Besides the Heavenly Ruler and the Key, what else can help you level up?"

[A treasure is an object possessed by a powerful individual that carries a certain amount of luck, or a precious item highly valued by a major power.]

Once the system explained it this way, Chen Futu understood. Its upgrade was related to luck. The strongest individuals who could grow to the end possessed luck themselves, so what guided their growth to the end must be something important.

Therefore, the most intuitive way is through mental cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

With that in mind, Chen Futu went out to try his luck with Long Luo's secret manuals.

As night fell, she arrived near her courtyard and found Yin Jian there, talking to her.

"Miss Long, are you really going to the Northern Frontier?" Yin Jian asked.

Long Luo, dressed in white, swayed in the wind as she calmly replied, "My senior sister's decision has never been changed by anyone, and as a disciple of Zhongnan Mountain, I must leave with her."

"The King of the Northern Frontier is fond of women, and his noble faction has many women. You must be very careful."

Yin Jian spoke without hesitation.

Chen Futu was so angry he laughed. This kid was no human being at all, talking badly about people behind their backs. He was a real gossip!

Before Chen Futu could even pass through the doorway, Long Luo said unhappily, "Young Master Yin, the King of the Northern Frontier is the savior of my sect. I advise you to have some self-respect. If you continue to slander your benefactor, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."

Yin Jiancai realized he had said the wrong thing in his haste, so he quickly tried to make amends, "Miss Long, I only heard it from someone else. After all, a person's reputation is well-known, and rumors never come from nowhere. If he were a good person, he wouldn't have such a bad reputation."

"I don't care what others say, I only know that my senior sister invited the Northern Frontier King to be the acting sect leader. Insulting the acting sect leader is an insult to Zhongnan Mountain. I hope you will say no more, young hero."

Long Luo's words were cold and indifferent, and it was clear that she was truly angry.

Having failed to gain any advantage, Yin Jian quickly tried to change the subject.

Chen Futu immediately walked into the courtyard and said sarcastically, "Young Master Yin, why aren't you resting so late? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
