After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Lin Chu transformed into a golden ray of light and flew towards the capital.

Meanwhile, in the capital of Yingzhou, inside the Emperor's Palace.

The prime minister stood with his head slightly bowed next to a hooded man, his posture so respectful it was almost humble.

A huge screen on the wall is playing a video on a loop.

The scene depicts Lin Chu instantly killing the giant bear with a single arrow.

The Prime Minister was shocked when he saw it, and then his eyes slowly turned into a frenzy.

If such power could be used by Yingzhou.

"Sir, this person..." He turned to look at the hooded man beside him.

He swallowed his words before he could finish.

The hooded man stared at the black and gold arrow that stretched across the sky on the screen, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Late stage of Nascent Soul transformation.

This person is most likely from another realm.

They ruined my Yuling Sect's plans.

He snorted coldly.

The sect spent a lot of resources to create this giant bear, hoping to use it to disrupt the defenses of several major powers on Earth and pave the way for future plans.

Before they could even cross the border, they were shot dead by an arrow.

I've made a mental note of this.

Lin Chu was naturally unaware of these things.

He flew to the top of the Deer Terrace, and before he landed, he saw a large group of people standing at the entrance.

Lu Qingyuan stood at the front, followed by Lu Chenghong, Xu Su, Cheng Yuan, Qin Su, and the dozen or so dignitaries and generals who had been in the conference hall earlier.

Everyone is waiting for him.

Lin Chu landed on the ground with a sway, before she could even speak.

Lu Qingyuan quickly stepped forward, grasped Lin Chu's hand, and then patted his shoulder forcefully.

"good!"

Just this one word.

Lin Chu smiled and was about to speak when Xu Su strode forward.

The veteran stood ramrod straight and spoke in a rough voice, "Minister Lin, I, Old Xu, said something that wasn't to your liking before. I apologize. This time, I'm truly convinced!"

Lin Chu waved his hand: "General Xu, you flatter me. It's normal for everyone to have doubts before."

Xu Su grinned, and the way he looked at Lin Chu was completely different from before.

"Minister Lin, please come in." Lu Qingyuan stepped aside and gestured for him to come in.

The group re-entered the conference hall.

This time, everyone's expression towards Lin Chu changed.

The scrutinizing gazes from before vanished completely, replaced by awe, curiosity, and a hint of indescribable excitement.

Lu Qingyuan sat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Now, does everyone have any objections?"

Everyone quickly said they had no objections.

What a joke! They all saw the power of that arrow with their own eyes. Who would dare to have any objections?

"Then it's settled." Lu Qingyuan nodded, then turned to Lin Chu, "Minister Lin, what are your thoughts?"

Lin Chu shook her head: "No."

Lu Qingyuan smiled and continued with the important matter.

As supernatural phenomena become more and more common, the number of awakened individuals among the general public is also surging. These people are talented but lack guidance, and they are an important force in the future to combat threats from outside the region.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Cang Yao's eyes.

Lin Chu noticed this, glanced at her sideways, but didn't ask anything on the spot.

Lu Chenghong continued, "We plan to release some information to the public at a later time, and then distribute the basic training methods we recently acquired to schools for pilot implementation. We'll first identify talented individuals, and then provide them with standardized training. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded and then looked at Lin Chu.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he pondered for a moment and nodded: "This plan is very good. We should proceed step by step. Going too fast will easily cause problems."

Lu Qingyuan leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight and looked at Lin Chu: "Minister Lin, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"Please speak."

"The footage of you killing that giant bear was captured very clearly by the Tian Shu satellite," Lu Qingyuan said, looking into his eyes. "Do you mind if this video gets leaked?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Chu's eyes, but she answered without hesitation, "I don't mind."

Just kidding, his skills rely on his reputation.

The more people know him, the more people remember him, the faster his luck will accumulate.

This kind of promotional opportunity that comes knocking on your door is too good to pass up.

Lu Qingyuan smiled, leaned back in his chair, and slowly said, "I propose that this video of Minister Lin's killing be the core of our propaganda for this cultivation technique."

He glanced at everyone present: "A living example is more effective than any textbook. The remains of that giant bear can be made into a series of videos to show the public that supernatural threats are real, but we also have the ability to deal with them."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This is a good idea. The visual impact of a hundred-foot-tall behemoth is enough to be shocking, a hundred times better than dry preaching.

The arrow shot from that golden light will make every person in Great Xia who sees the video remember the name Lin Chu, and also remember that Great Xia is not powerless in the face of supernatural threats.

And so the decision was made.

After the meeting, Lu Qingyuan kept Lin Chu and her group behind.

"Minister Lin can stay in Chaoge; we will arrange everything."

Lin Chu thought for a moment, then shook her head and refused.

I grew up in Shenzhen, and I feel more comfortable staying there.

He then glanced at Ruoshui and suggested with a smile, "We can set up a teleportation array."

Lu Qingyuan was slightly taken aback, while Lu Chenghong's pupils shrank: "Teleportation array? There are such things?"

Lin Chu nodded, "Yes, but it requires spirit stones to operate. We can set one up in Chaoge and one in Shencheng, which will be convenient for any emergencies or meetings."

Lu Chenghong's face lit up with excitement, and he immediately said that they would buy all the spirit stones, and that he could just name what he needed in exchange.

Lin Chu didn't refuse and nodded.

Ruoshui shook Lin Chu's arm: "I brought a lot of offerings this time. Just hand them over to them, and it will be done in a few days."

They then discussed the matter of the teleportation array.

Lin Chu prepared to take his leave.

There's nothing that requires his personal attention right now; the Department of International Exchanges is newly established and its members aren't all there yet.

Furthermore, during the meeting just now, I mentioned to Lu Qingyuan that Lu Chenghong should be appointed as the deputy minister, fully responsible for daily affairs.

Contact me only when needed.

Everyone could tell at a glance that this man was going to become a hands-off manager.

Of course, they agreed.

After Lin Chu and the others left, Lu Qingyuan looked in the direction he had gone, a wistful smile appearing on his lips.

"Thankfully, they're one of our own."

Lu Chenghong stood behind him and nodded.

The trajectory of that arrow in the video is still replaying in his mind today.

……

Lin Chu led the women back to the hotel. As soon as they entered the lobby, they bumped into two young people, a man and a woman.

They saw Lin Chu at first glance, and their eyes widened simultaneously.

"Lord Jiang... Lord Jiang?" the young man stammered, his voice trembling.

Lin Chu glanced at them, pondered for a moment, and then remembered.

These are two of the geniuses from Qianyuan Pavilion who came to Chang'an with the Dragon Court's reinforcements and fought side by side on the city wall.

He smiled and nodded at them.

The two of them immediately blushed with excitement.

Lord Jiang is indeed still alive!

If this news gets back to Chang'an, the whole city will probably be in an uproar.

The rumors about Jiang Yan from Chang'an in the Xuan Tian Realm are no longer limited to the Myriad Demon Domain.

Some say that he did not truly die back then, and that the dissipation of his physical body was just a smokescreen, and that he actually ascended to a higher plane.

Some say he was the reincarnation of an ancient powerful being.

Now that they saw Lin Chu standing in front of them, their faces were filled with undisguised reverence.

The two took a moment to calm their breathing before turning to Cang Xiaoxiao and Cang Yao and bowing.

He then reported on the recent findings of his investigation on Earth.

After reporting, the two men tactfully bowed and took their leave.

They were still whispering as they walked out of the lobby.

"I knew Lord Jiang couldn't possibly die so easily!"

"Chang'an City is now one of the top powers in the Xuantian Realm. What do you think their reaction would be if they knew that City Lord Jiang was still alive?"

The female disciple glanced back at Lin Chu furtively, then quickly turned back: "Not just Chang'an, the entire Xuantian Realm is in an uproar."

The two voices gradually faded into the distance.

Lin Chu stood there, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling somewhat dazed.

Changan.

I wonder what state the city I built with my own hands is in now.

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Cang Yao: "Can we return to the Xuan Tian Realm now via the teleportation array?"

Cang Yao nodded: "That's fine, but interdimensional teleportation arrays are extremely precious and can only be opened once a year."

"This batch of spots will take at least nine months to arrive, and after returning, it will be a year before they can come back."

Lin Chu felt a little regretful.

It seems I won't be able to return to the Xuan Tian Realm anytime soon.

But it's okay.

My parents are still in seclusion and won't be able to come out anytime soon.

It's not too late to go back and take a look after things are mostly settled here.

He nodded, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
