Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1149 - 1149 1109 Appointing the City Lord

1149: Chapter 1109: Appointing the City Lord 1149: Chapter 1109: Appointing the City Lord Inside the Council Hall, there was loud clamor as if the debates were endless.

“Xsu You, have you gone mad?

You’ve finally climbed to a high position here, enjoying power and wealth.

Now you want to give everything up and go back.

Are you insane?”

“Exactly, what are you thinking?”

Xsu You seriously replied: “My mind is made up, I am not going to stay here anymore.

The City Lord is dead, there is no more meaning for me to remain.”

Sitting in the main seat, Huang Ye said unpleasantly: “What do you mean?

Do you think I’m not fit to be your superior?”

“When are you going to give the position back to Huang Kai then?”

Xsu You loudly retorted.

Upon hearing this, Huang Ye angrily slapped the armrest, “What did you say?”

“I said it just like that!”

Huang Kai hurriedly got up and tried to placate everyone: “Stop quarreling, what we need to do now is to unite.”

“Unite my ass, it was your friend who started being divisive.”

“Is the City Lord’s Mansion going to fall apart?”

“I see none of you respecting one another, are you plotting a rebellion?”

“Let’s fight it out then, the winner gets to call the shots!”

“No, Huang Kai must take the position, he is the first in line!”

“Bullshit!

The City Lord’s Mansion cannot be controlled by the weak, otherwise we won’t be able to suppress the many soldiers!”

…

The arguments were unceasing, everyone was emotionally charged, appearing as if they were on the verge of breaking into a fight at any moment.

Bang!!!

Just then, Lu Chuan pushed open the door and slowly entered.

The noisy voices suddenly quieted down, everyone swiftly turned to look at Lu Chuan.

“Who enters without announcing themselves?”

“It’s…

It’s Lu Chuan!

Young Master Lu, what brings you here!”

“It’s Young Master Lu.

Do you have business at the City Lord’s Mansion?”

In a moment, everyone sat quietly in their original places, all of them calming down.

Huang Ye, who was sitting in the main seat, also became tense.

Lu Chuan walked in, glanced around, “It seemed quite a fierce argument just now.”

“What were you arguing about?”

Lu Chuan then turned his gaze towards Huang Ye.

“So you’re the new City Lord?”

He swallowed, “Yes, that’s me.”

“Why is it not Huang Kai?”

“He lacks strength and seniority, so it could only be me.”

Huang Ye turned to look at Huang Kai, “He just came of age not long ago, his strength is also quite ordinary, just any slightly talented soldier could beat him, in such a situation, how could he shoulder the responsibility?”

“So, me becoming the City Lord is nothing but expected, but many people do not accept me, they only recognize the appointed City Lord.”

Lu Chuan then continued, “I don’t recognize you either.”

“What?” Huang Ye was stunned.

“I don’t recognize you either.

I hope to have Huang Kai as the City Lord.

Besides, who says the City Lord must possess extraordinary strength?

As long as he is responsible towards Cloud Sea City and is willing to solve the city’s troubles diligently, then he will make a good City Lord.

Under Huang Tiankang’s influence, Huang Kai is undoubtedly the more suitable one.”

Lu Chuan then looked at Huang Kai, “From now on, you are the City Lord.”

“Lu Chuan, you can’t appoint him as City Lord, you don’t have the authority!”

Huang Ye shouted loudly.

Lu Chuan then glared at him, “I don’t have the authority?”

“Think again before you speak.”

Huang Ye instantly became nervous, swallowing hard.

Now that Lu Chuan was the strongest in the city and the most influential person, ever since the Ming family’s annihilation and the Yu family’s rise to power, Cloud Sea City was practically under Lu Chuan’s control.

Hearing this, Huang Ye could only helplessly nod, “I understand…

I will relinquish my position.

From now on, the seat of the City Lord belongs to Huang Kai.”

At this moment, Huang Kai’s heart raced, even feeling a little dazed, hardly believing he had become the City Lord.

He thought that he still had a long journey of Cultivation ahead of him before he could become the City Lord.

Lu Chuan looked at him, “Now that you are the City Lord, handle the issues well.

If there’s anything you can’t resolve, go find Yu Qiming, he will help you.”

Huang Kai excitedly shouted, “Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your assistance!

I’m extremely grateful!”

Xsu You also started to laugh, “Since it’s like this, there’s no need for me to go back.

As long as Young Master Huang is here, I can stay.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Kai, excited, lunged forward and hugged Xsu You.

Lu Chuan turned towards Huang Ye, “Come help me with something.”

“What is it?”

Huang Ye stood up, tall and burly with well-built muscles, the very image of a martial artist.

“I’m going to the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“What are you going there for?” Huang Ye asked, puzzled.

“You don’t need to know, just take me there.”

Huang Ye, left with no choice, nodded and led Lu Chuan to the dungeon.

The dungeon was located beneath a giant rock in the middle of the garden.

A large hole had been chiseled into the center of the rock, large enough to allow a person to descend.

Huang Ye led Lu Chuan to the front of the dungeon.

“Young Master Lu, before you enter, prepare yourself mentally.

It’s stuffy below, there’s no sunlight, the smell of blood is strong.

Many people venturing in for the first time get so agitated that they vomit, become dizzy and nauseous, some even faint.”

Lu Chuan dismissed the warning, “Lead the way.”

“Alright then…”

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then started to unlock the iron door, following the dark staircase down, step by step.

After descending dozens of steps, Lu Chuan arrived at a corridor lined with torches providing faint light.

As soon as he got there, Lu Chuan could smell the pungent, unpleasant odor.

Huang Ye, walking ahead, looked back at Lu Chuan and saw that he was unfazed, which made him curious—Lu Chuan was completely unaffected!

Lu Chuan walked down and moved forward, passing by dungeons on both sides where prisoners were held.

“These are all criminals with grave offenses, all sentenced to death.

But to extract information from their mouths, they are kept here for continuous torture!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes noticed the sections between the cells where torture instruments were placed on wooden racks.

“By the way, Young Master Lu, whom did you come looking for?

Maybe the prisoners here aren’t related to you.”

Huang Ye looked around and shouted loudly: “All of you listen up, does anyone here know Young Master Lu Chuan?”

Although he shouted with a booming voice, there was no response, everyone was crouched in a corner, motionless.

Lu Chuan placed his hand on Huang Ye’s shoulder, “I’m not here to find a person, I’m here to find a plant.”

Huang Ye was immediately taken aback, “A plant?”

Lu Chuan took out a small white flower from his bosom.

Holding it in the air, Lu Chuan began to observe.

Huang Ye watched with immense curiosity, fixed on the small flower in Lu Chuan’s hand.
