Their commission was suspicious.

"Li Xue." But a voice made Cheng Li Xue freeze in place.

Cheng Lixue turned her head and looked at the familiar figure beside her in disbelief.

"master."

"Li Xue, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Master, I've missed you so much." Perhaps because she had just been resurrected, Li Xue's words came from the bottom of her heart; in other words, she didn't think before she spoke.

As she uttered those words, the inner demon that had troubled Cheng Lixue for half her life quietly began to falter.

"Welcome back," Xiao Shi exclaimed.

"Hmm? Two masters?" Cheng Lixue tilted her head.

Chapter 740 Fu Hua's Absolute Trust in Chen Luo

Double the master, double the happiness—this is the most accurate description of Cheng Lixue's current state of mind.

Most importantly, the original master was quite silent, but the other master was quite lively.

Cheng Lixue knew her master well, so she only needed to glance at him twice to understand which one was her true master.

After all, his master was never good with words and didn't like to show his emotions, always watching him silently.

However, this person, who looked exactly like her master but had a slightly different temperament, showed her extra care.

Honestly, Cheng Lixue now has a feeling that she would rather not be able to recognize which one is the real master.

Oh, with such a master, what more could one ask for?

Although the wording seems quite different, as long as the meaning is conveyed, that's fine.

"If you ask me, Lixue, you'll stick with me from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll smash their head in," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, putting his arm around Cheng Lixue's shoulder.

"this......"

"Xiao Shi, Li Xue just woke up, don't be silly." Fu Hua frowned.

"Who's being silly? You don't want this disciple, but I do." The Herrscher of Knowledge made a face at Fu Hua.

"Who said I didn't want Li Xue as my apprentice?"

"Then why did you leave without saying goodbye the day after you officially accepted him as your disciple?" the Lawgiver of Knowledge pressed.

Upon hearing this question, Cheng Lixue's heart stirred, and she also looked at Fu Hua.

In fact, this is why Cheng Lixue never broke through the Wuchen realm until her death, thus failing to advance her Taixu Sword Technique further.

Because of inner demons.

The other person's inner demon is why Fu Hua left without saying goodbye.

"That's because... cough cough, don't tell me you don't know." Fu Hua hesitated, then glared fiercely at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

How could Fu Hua possibly say that?

Fu Hua's greatest skill is keeping her thoughts to herself and saying nothing.

Those who understand the laws are not unaware of this.

Most importantly, Fu Hua knew that the Herrscher of Knowledge knew her memories. Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge was naturally very clear about what she was thinking back then.

It's obvious that the other party is saying these things intentionally.

"How would I know? How would I know if you don't tell me?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked, while putting his arm around Cheng Lixue's shoulder.

"...Anyway, it's good that you're back." After being mocked by the Herrscher of Knowledge, Fu Hua remained silent for a long time before finally uttering these six words.

"Mm." Cheng Lixue nodded.

"Hey, seriously, Li Xue? You just betrayed the alliance we formed so briefly? You should have held on a little longer. If you had just ignored that old fogey for three minutes, she might have given her reasons." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Cheng Li Xue in disbelief.

There is a traitor among us!

I'm trying to help you.

"No need. Since I've already died once, what do these things matter? Besides, Master's attitude just now and what he said before I died (Although I don't remember you, I know you are a very important person to me) have already shown everything, haven't they? I believe Master must have his own reasons." Cheng Lixue said with a gentle smile.

"However, I also appreciate your help. Although I don't know your true identity yet, I can see that you care about me." Cheng Lixue then said to the slightly dissatisfied Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Sigh..." The Lawbringer sighed helplessly.

He had intended to help Lixue, but in the end, he ended up being disliked by both sides.

However, the happy ending is not bad, it just makes me seem a bit silly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Knowledge. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandmaster." The Herrscher of Knowledge said.

"Hmm?" Cheng Lixue glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge with surprise, then looked at Fu Hua.

If I call Fu Hua "Master," then if I have to call the Herrscher of Knowledge "Grandmaster," wouldn't that mean...?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, just call her Xiaoshi," Fu Hua said.

"But this Herrscher's identity..." Cheng Lixue was somewhat puzzled.

Cheng Lixue knew she was dead, but she didn't know how many years she had been dead. So, during all these years she had been gone, had the relationship between humans and Herrschers been so peaceful?

“Her situation is rather special, so there’s no need to worry. Besides, someone is disciplining her, so I’m quite at ease.” Fu Hua looked at Chen Luo.

Fu Hua has spent more time with Chen Luo than Chen Luo has spent with Fu Hua, at least for now, so Fu Hua knows Chen Luo quite well.

If Chen Luo were to discipline the Lawyer of Knowledge, there wouldn't be any problem. Of course, the biggest issue is that Chen Luo shouldn't spoil her too much, causing her to act recklessly.

However, although the Herrscher of Knowledge is a Herrscher and seems to act rather arbitrarily, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who possesses Fu Hua's memories of protecting the Divine Land for thousands of years, is not without the great influence of Fu Hua.

Even though their personalities are not exactly the same, they will not hate humans or cause destruction like other Herrschers.

The Herald of Knowledge is essentially a good person, especially towards his friends. For example, just now the Herald of Knowledge helped Cheng Lixue interrogate Fu Hua, probably to help Cheng Lixue overcome his inner demons and further improve his Taixu Sword Qi.

"And what about her?" Cheng Lixue raised her hand and pointed to Xilin.

Xilin instinctively hid behind Chen Luo, but then couldn't resist peeking out at Cheng Lixue out of curiosity.

"...Ignore her. Sirin killed you, and now Sirin's master has saved you. Now it's up to her master to offer what price to make you give up your desire for revenge." Fu Hua said, then turned her gaze to Chen Luo.

"Huh?" Chen Luo, who was counting the 500 Primogems and 20 Favorability Points he received from completing the mission, was taken aback by the mention of Fu Hua and didn't know how to react.

Although Chen Luo really wanted to say, what does this have to do with me?

But after glancing at Xilin, who stood timidly behind him, Chen Luo managed not to say anything.

It's true that Sirin is an armed doll, but it's also true that her advanced form, the Gold and Silver versions, directly evolved into the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin. This, in a way, confirms the relationship between the two.

So in a sense, Chen Luo turned Xilin into an armed puppet and then into his own puppet. Ultimately, he had to shoulder something.

"Isn't just reviving him enough?" Chen Luo asked in a low voice.

"Doctor, what do you think?" Fu Hua countered.

The relationship between Fu Hua and Chen Luo needs no further explanation. Although Chen Luo only knew Fu Hua for a short time, Fu Hua had known Chen Luo for over 5 years.

However, Fu Hua said that in part to help Chen Luo out of a difficult situation.

After all, the topic has already involved little Xilin.

"...I wonder if you're interested in becoming a Herrscher." Chen Luo paused for a moment before asking Cheng Lixue.

"The Lawyer?"

"Yes, that's right, Herrscher of the Rock. If you're interested in Herrscher abilities, I can give you a portion of Faith Power now, and then use that Faith Power as the price to purchase the ability to manipulate gravity. Finally, I'll upgrade you to Herrscher level."

Although Chen Luo doesn't have many well-known puppets now, they are all elites.

Among them is Welt, who hasn't appeared in a long time. He is a clone of Welt, the former leader of Anti-Entropy and the first Herrscher of Reason.

The other party is born with the ability to control gravity.

Now Cheng Lixue has become Chen Luo's puppet. If she wants, Chen Luo can sacrifice some of his faith power to help Cheng Lixue obtain the A-level ability to control gravity.

Then you can strip away the opponent's abilities and use the River God's power to forcibly elevate them to the S-rank level.

However, it's worth mentioning that even if someone possesses both the silver and gold versions of the Gravity Manipulation Talent and upgrades them together to a relatively high level of Gravity Control among S-rank characters, their Gravity Control priority might still be lower than that of a Herrscher.

Herrschers are not ordinary S-rank talents.

This is a definitive conclusion reached after comparing combat strength.

The price of a Herrscher's ability is fixed at 1 Primogems, but this does not mean that a Herrscher's ability is only worth 1 Primogems.

When in a Honkai world, a fully unleashed Herrscher is definitely much stronger than an ordinary S-rank (14,000 or more Primogems) talent user.

As for why a Herrscher's ability is only worth 1 Primogems, perhaps it's because of the privilege from some unknown Honkai consciousness?

Of course, it's also possible that the Herrscher's abilities are bestowed upon the chosen ones after they are acquired.

"If you're not interested in Herrscher abilities, you can choose divine weapons. I can use the River God's abilities to create a top-tier Key of Domination for you."

Although it wasn't mentioned much, Cheng Lixue was indeed Chen Luo's puppet, so without Chen Luo saying much, she naturally knew the concept that the River God represented.

"If you're still not interested, I can also teach you a modified version of the Taixu Sword Qi. Although the overall difficulty of the modified Taixu Sword Qi hasn't decreased, it might help you go further."

Chen Luo was referring to the Taixu Sword Qi that he had learned and improved upon using the talent panel.

Chen Luo was not stingy with the Tai Xu Sword Qi. The most important and strongest point of this sword technique was that the opponent's potential was extremely high.

The damage cap depends on the strength of your mental power.

The reason Chen Luo didn't pass it on to Su Yuan was because Chen Luo might use the Taixu Sword Qi in the main world in the future, so he was afraid of being exposed. But passing it on to Cheng Lixue would not have any problems.

“Master said that we cultivators should not rely too much on external things. Then let’s get divine weapons,” Cheng Lixue said after thinking for a moment.

"No problem, but didn't you say we shouldn't rely on external things?" Chen Luo agreed decisively, then complained.

You just said we shouldn't rely too much on external things, and then you immediately ask for powerful weapons. You're really something.

“But a wise man makes good use of things. Weapons are secondary, after all, everyone has their strengths. Swordsmanship is what I know the most, and it’s essential, but the gravity control ability from the Herrscher is not essential,” Cheng Lixue said.

"So, what's the truth?" Chen Luo asked, arms crossed.

"I always feel that the abilities of the Herrschers are somewhat strange. Maybe I'll become interested in them after spending more time with them, but not right now."

"As for the Taixu Sword Qi, my inner demons have been dispelled, and I am about to break through my realm. Moreover, I have a deeper affection for the Taixu Sword Qi that my master passed on to me."

“I’m not interested in either of them, but since this is a gift from my master, I can’t refuse it, so I have no choice but to choose the weapon,” Cheng Lixue said.

"Understood. I'll have Fu Hua or Xiao Shi go to Mount Taixu and bring back a Key of Domination. You can resonate with the golden one to turn it back into Ruoshui, while I'll forge the silver one into a gauntlet," Chen Luo replied after hearing Cheng Lixue's explanation.

The Key of Domination is a rather unique type of Divine Key. It changes its appearance based on the user's attributes to adapt to the user.

"Thank you," Cheng Lixue nodded.

"You're welcome." Chen Luo gently patted the head of Xiao Xilin, who had tentatively appeared after Cheng Lixue accepted Chen Luo's gift.

"Where will Li Xue stay tonight?" Xiao Shi asked.

"And it's not just tonight, where will Li Xue stay in the future, whether it's returning to Destiny or..." The Herrscher of Knowledge subconsciously glanced at Theresa.

"Seriously? You're trying to force us into St. Freya Academy again? Do you think St. Freya Academy is some kind of weird organization?" Theresa subconsciously took a step back.

"Please, don't be ungrateful. Cheng Lixue was the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny more than ten years ago. With my help, if she just downloads a few more abilities from the group network, becoming an S-class Valkyrie would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Theresa.

"Too......"

"Besides, didn't you and Cheng Lixue know each other more than ten years ago? You were colleagues, after all. Are you really that cold-hearted? Aren't you afraid of making people feel disheartened?" Chen Luo continued.

"Alright, alright, I know. I'll arrange a teacher's position for Lixue later," Theresa said, arms crossed.

"Huh? Who said Li Xue was going to go to St. Freya Academy?" Chen Luo looked at Theresa with some confusion.

"Huh?" Theresa was taken aback.

"I was just stating the facts. Actually, I plan to take Li Xue to my world to live for a while and see how it goes. Also, if Li Xue wants to develop her own strength, she might be able to develop faster in the Abyss Passage than in the Honkai World."

Since they've become Chen Luo's puppets, they're no longer outsiders, and therefore no longer considered people from other worlds. So sending them to the Abyss Passage to grow up isn't considered an act of treachery.

Besides, most of the regular rewards in the Abyss Passage can be refreshed.

Furthermore, if these dolls encounter any danger, they can simply die in front of those people, and their souls will be uploaded to the group network. Alternatively, if they don't die immediately, they can return directly to the doll collection library.

“Of course, I respect Li Xue’s choice. Let her stay at St. Freya Academy and see how far the world has developed after her efforts, and what kind of mission the Valkyries are carrying now. She can stay in the doll collection tonight.” But then Chen Luo added.

"Hmph, you think you can just let her come whenever you want? I'm not agreeing to this time!"

“Oh, no, Ritsuki can come. But you can’t. You’re not allowed to come to St. Freya Academy for the festival tomorrow!” Theresa exercised her privilege.
