Has Chen Chang'an Become the Palace Master

Four years?

He cultivated for just over four years and surpassed my ten thousand years of cultivation?

Is this guy even human?

"Are you sure you hadn’t started cultivating four years ago?" Luo Yiyi asked in shock.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would my master, who doted on me the most, have driven me away?"

"Ah, speaking of which, it’s truly shameful. I’ve really let my master down," Chen Chang'an sighed with regret.

Shameful?

Let her down?

If this is shameful, then what does that make me?

"Four years to reach the peak of the Great Emperor realm?"

"What? Is that… a bit slow? I know it’s not impressive, but there’s nothing I can do. I’m just dull-witted, alas."

"Stop talking to me."

Luo Yiyi couldn’t stand looking at Chen Chang'an right now. Was he trying to infuriate her on purpose?

If he was dull-witted, then what did that make everyone else?

"Senior Sister—well, I suppose you count as my senior sister?"

"What’s wrong? Have I offended you somehow?" Chen Chang'an asked, puzzled.

"No, no, no. The senior never officially accepted me as her disciple, so I dare not presume to be your senior sister."

"Let’s go. We’ll talk more once we return to the Luo Divine Palace."

After Chen Chang'an and Luo Yiyi returned to the Luo Divine Palace, Luo Yiyi turned to Hua Wulei and said, "Gather all members of the Luo Divine Palace immediately."

"As you command, Palace Master."

Hua Wulei didn’t question the order and immediately set out to carry it out.

Chen Chang'an noticed Da Huang, who looked utterly blissful, and Xuan Wudao, who seemed heartbroken.

"What happened here?"

"Did he get beaten up?" Chen Chang'an asked, eyeing Xuan Wudao curiously.

"I… I want to go home," Xuan Wudao whimpered, tears welling in his eyes as he looked at Chen Chang'an.

Seeing him like this, Chen Chang'an was stunned. What kind of trauma could make such a tough man cry like this?

"Missing home?"

"Then go back. I won’t stop you."

"He can leave, right?" Chen Chang'an asked Luo Yiyi.

"Go ahead. But be careful in the future. If you ever mistake one of our Luo Divine Palace branches for a brothel again, I’ll personally pay a visit to your Wuji Sect," Luo Yiyi said coldly, glaring at Xuan Wudao.

"Ahhh!"

"I can’t take this anymore!"

After Luo Yiyi’s words, Xuan Wudao completely broke down, wailing loudly in front of everyone.

Then, wiping his tears, he flew off toward the Wuji Sect without looking back.

"Chen Chang'an, your brother is leaving."

"Don’t ever come looking for me again in this lifetime. I’m begging you."

Hearing Xuan Wudao’s tearful voice, Chen Chang'an sighed with a melancholic expression.

"Ah, being too exceptional has its downsides."

"Too outstanding, and you end up with no friends left."

Luo Yiyi shot him a serious look. "Chen Chang'an, be serious."

"I have something important to discuss with you."

Something important?

Chen Chang'an was taken aback. What could Luo Yiyi possibly have to say that was so crucial?

"What is it?" Chen Chang'an asked.

Luo Yiyi didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she waited until all the disciples of the Luo Divine Palace had assembled.

Once everyone was present, Luo Yiyi declared solemnly, "From today onward, Chen Chang'an will be the Palace Master of the Luo Divine Palace."

"I, along with Hua Wulei, will serve as deputy palace masters."

The announcement left everyone dumbfounded—even Chen Chang'an hadn’t seen this coming.

Wasn’t the Luo Divine Palace an all-female sect? Why would they make a man their palace master? What was she thinking?

The only one who seemed thrilled was Da Huang.

Hell yeah! Now we can settle down in a high-class brothel!

"Is this the 'important matter' you mentioned?"

"The Luo Divine Palace is yours. It has nothing to do with me. Why make me the palace master?" Chen Chang'an’s confusion mirrored that of everyone else present.

"Everything I have today is thanks to Senior Mu Yunyao. Therefore, all that I possess belongs to her."

"But Senior Mu Yunyao has no need for such things. She disdains worldly affairs."

"I want to repay her kindness, and you are the most suitable candidate."

"So, starting today, you are the Palace Master of the Luo Divine Palace."

"Whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you accept the position or not, from now on, you are." Luo Yiyi smiled.

This was practically a forced transaction!

Regardless of his consent, the Luo Divine Palace would henceforth declare Chen Chang'an as its palace master?

"You’re putting me in a difficult position."

"No need to feel troubled. This—"

"Then I’ll graciously accept."

Huh?

One moment he was hesitant, the next he agreed just like that?

Luo Yiyi studied Chen Chang'an carefully, feeling as though she couldn’t see through this man at all.

An enigma of a man!

And undoubtedly, a man of profound wisdom.

Yes, that had to be it.

"Luo Yiyi greets the Palace Master."

"Hua Wulei greets the Palace Master."

"Disciples of the Luo Divine Palace greet the Palace Master."

Chen Chang'an looked at the crowd and nodded with a smile. Admittedly, this felt pretty good.

"Heh heh, I knew sticking with you would lead to the good life."

"You’re a real bro, setting me up like this. Who needs brothels when we’ve got the Luo Divine Palace?" Da Huang excitedly transmitted his thoughts to Chen Chang'an.

Ignoring Da Huang, Chen Chang'an turned his attention back to Luo Yiyi.

"You still have something else to say?"

"Yes. The truly important matter hasn’t been mentioned yet."

The truly important matter?

"When Senior Mu Yunyao came here, she once tasked me with something."

"To investigate the whereabouts of a special kind of bead."

"I had all the disciples of the Luo Divine Palace look into it."

"And not long ago, we finally found a lead."

A bead?

A fetal bead?

Damn, Master is too considerate! She actually took action to help me track them down.

Right now, Chen Chang'an only had two fetal beads left to find. Once he gathered them all, he would finally be complete.

"Where is the bead?" Chen Chang'an asked.

"Our disciples only found a lead."

"Whether it’s the real thing or not, we can’t confirm yet."

"Palace Master, perhaps you should wait a little longer?"

"Once we have confirmation, I’ll report to you."

"Yeah, yeah, no rush! Let’s stay here for a while!" Da Huang darted to Chen Chang'an’s feet, frantically signaling him with his eyes.

After some thought, Chen Chang'an figured it made sense. If it turned out to be a false lead, wouldn’t the trip be wasted?

"Fine, I’ll wait for now."

"Then I’ll have accommodations prepared for you. Please wait a moment, Palace Master."

"Mm."

Chen Chang'an never expected that a simple visit to the Luo Divine Palace would end with him becoming its palace master.

Still, staying here was quite pleasant—both visually and in terms of service.

Ever since Chen Chang'an settled in the Luo Divine Palace, Da Huang had been nowhere to be seen. That bastard was really treating this place like a high-end brothel.

Every day, he’d cozy up to the female disciples, building camaraderie like his life depended on it.

"I wonder how the Chen Family is doing these days."

"Once I gather all the fetal beads, maybe it’s time to go back."

Chen Chang'an suddenly thought of the Chen Family. Ever since he left the Northern Domain, there had been no news from them.

He wondered how the Chen Family was faring now.
