“May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan?”
Lin Yuting asked with a smile as she looked down at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded and asked, “May I ask who you are, Fellow Daoist?”
“I’m Lin Yunting, the deputy general of the Imperial City Guards of the Speed Star Sword Domain. You are now part of us. Her Majesty asked me to bring you to the Speed Star Sword Domain.”
As expected…
Although he had already guessed it, when he found out that he had been assigned to the Speed Star Sword Domain, Lu Yuan was still somewhat disappointed.
After all, although the Speed Star Sword Domain wasn’t one of the few Sword Domains that he didn’t want to go to, it was still one of the Sword Domains that he didn’t want to go to.
This was because an Empire system like this paid the most attention to the principle of “more work, more return.”
If he wanted to be lazy, he would be caught easily.
However, he didn’t have the right to reject it. Moreover, the Speed Star Sword Domain was neither good nor bad to him.
After all, it was not the few Sword Domains that he absolutely did not want to go to.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan directly walked towards Lin Yunting, who had landed not far away from him and sat on her mount.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, sit tight.”
As the Sun Eagle soared into the sky, the two of them slowly disappeared into the sky and flew toward the Speed Star Sword Domain in the second heaven…
Speed Star Sword Domain, Phoenix Empire.
“Your Majesty, I’ve brought Fellow Daoist Lu.”
Lu Yuan looked at the resplendent imperial palace in front of him. He felt as if he had returned to the scene of the human imperial palace.
However, he could notice that although the palace looked calm, there were mysteries hidden everywhere.
He saw no less than ten arrays and special carvings in the palace.
Lu Yuan made a rough judgment. Based on the hidden arrays in the palace, not to mention a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even an Apotheosis Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to survive for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
The Phoenix Empire’s deep foundation made Lu Yuan exclaim in admiration.
After a simple observation of the palace, Lu Yuan looked at the woman sitting at the head of the palace.
The other party was wearing a crimson phoenix robe that reached the ground.
The loose robe was tied around her waist with a golden ribbon, accentuating her slender waist.
Apart from that, the woman was also wearing a special crown that emitted a mysterious flowing light.
Lu Yuan could tell that the crown was not a decoration, but a magic item, a high-grade true magic item.
It might even be an acquired spiritual item.
The woman’s face was soft like cotton, and the pair of phoenix eyes contained a unique dignity of a superior.
Obviously, this person should be the owner of the Speed Star Sword Domain.
The Speed Star Sword Master, Gu Qiuyue.
After saying so much, Lu Yuan only took a quick glance and did not look at it at all.
The attitude of a gentleman was accurately presented.
After all, the reason why he took a look at her was to see Gu Qiuyue’s interface.
However, when he saw Gu Qiuyue’s interface, he was dumbfounded.
[Name: Gu Qiuyue]
[Cultivation: ???]
[Skill:???]
This was the first time Lu Yuan encountered an existence that he could not see through the interface.
It was obvious that this was because the grade difference between them was too great.
He could even see through Jing Ming, who was at the Apotheosis Stage, at a glance.
However, he could not see anything from Gu Qiuyue other than her name.
She had to be at least at the Ethereal Stage.
This was also the first time Lu Yuan had met a master in the Ethereal Stage, so he naturally didn’t dare to be rude.
Otherwise, even if he had a powerful Dharma Idol now, it would not be difficult for the other party to crush him to death.
When Lu Yuan was secretly sizing up Gu Qiuyue, Gu Qiuyue was also sizing him up.
And unlike Lu Yuan, who was cautious, Gu Qiuyue sized him up with an unbridled gaze.
The main hall fell into an inexplicable silence.
After a moment, Gu Qiuyue finally spoke.
“Deputy General Lin, you can leave first.”
“Yes.”
After Lin Yunting left, only Lu Yuan and Gu Qiuyue were left in the main hall.
“Come forward.”
Gu Qiuyue’s voice was very cold, but it had indescribable superiority and oppression.
Lu Yuan didn’t dare do anything and obediently walked to Gu Qiuyue.
At this moment, the pressure within him was unprecedented.
This was because this was the first time he had met an expert in the Ethereal Stage.
He knew nothing about the Ethereal Stage and was unsure if he could escape from Gu Qiuyue safely with his trump cards.
He felt that there was a high chance that it would not work.
Because he had a premonition that once he made a move against Gu Qiuyue, he would definitely die.
“You seem to be very afraid of me?”
Looking at Lu Yuan, who was standing motionlessly like a wooden stake, Gu Qiuyue suddenly asked with a smile.
Lu Yuan was stunned at first, then he replied, “A little.”
“You’re honest.”
As she spoke, Gu Qiuyue stretched out her hand and suddenly hooked Lu Yuan’s chin.
“Aren’t you curious why 1 chose you?”
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qiuyue, who was very close to him, and slowly calmed down.
Previously, he wasn’t sure of Gu Qiuyue’s personality and was worried about offending her.
However, looking at the other party’s antics, he did not think too much about it.
After all, he and Gu Qiuyue were worlds apart in terms of status and strength.
If the other party wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through so many fancy things.
Thus, Lu Yuan directly spoke.
“May I know why Your Majesty chose me?”
Gu Qiuyue did not directly answer Lu Yuan’s question. Instead, she carefully sized up Lu Yuan for a moment.
It was as if she was looking at a beautiful piece of art..
