Originally, given Wang Zhongshan's situation, everyone thought he would become a literary giant. However, things changed unexpectedly because of an accident with bandits; he survived while others didn't. Seeing the corpses everywhere made him realize something.

So, through his connections and perseverance, he joined the Vast Grace Sect (Hao Ran Men), starting as a menial outer sect disciple before becoming an inner sect disciple within a few years. He transformed from a weak scholar to a Martial King.

Although a Martial King isn't much in the Vast Grace Sect and is just an ordinary inner sect disciple, only after reaching Emperor Rank would he become more important, with Saint Rank being core.

However, Wang Zhongshan was originally someone who couldn’t do anything. Within a few years, he became a Martial King, and given that he started learning martial arts when he was almost twenty, the difficulty of this feat is unimaginable.

Therefore, at that time, Wang Zhongshan was also a little legend, then expanding this legend to become one in the Vast Grace Sect. Then it became a legendary story across the land.

In his thirties, he entered Saint Rank, and merely over ten years, his potential was extremely great. Later on, in his forties, he reached Divine Rank, gradually catching up with those few Divine Beings in Vast Grace Sect. Now, he has surpassed everyone to become the first person in Vast Grace Sect.

All of this seems like a legend, something only seen in legendary stories. But facts are before everyone’s eyes; Wang Zhongshan created a legend.

"Of course, knowing you now is your good fortune," Wang Yanyu said with a smile. She never knew how to be polite or modest towards Free and Easy (Xiaoyao).

“Yes, yes, this is my good fortune. I wonder how you plan to handle the matter” Xiaoyao nodded his head.

"Such minor matters should naturally be handled by you. I know you're quite slippery," Wang Yanyu directly handed over the matter to Free and Easy, though it seemed a bit casual; but this was indeed the best option.

“If that's the case, then today I'll take on the role of the pioneer bird. This matter will be handled by me. Do you have any problems with that” Xiaoyao said.

"No problem!" Luo Yunqing directly replied. Even without considering Wang Yanyu’s influence, he felt comfortable letting Xiaoyao handle it because he knew Xiaoyao might seem casual but would never be careless when handling major matters and was decisive in action.

“What about you” Xiaoyao looked at the King.

"Since things have come to this, how could I oppose" The King wasn't very pleased. But he also knew that now all he could do was wait for others to decide his fate.

“You can object, but generally speaking, I won’t accept it!” Xiaoyao smiled and said in a friendly manner.

"..." Everyone was speechless; what's the point of saying such things

"Alright, my solution is quite simple. Today marks Luo Family’s successful transition to rule. Henceforth, the Royal family of Flowstone Kingdom will be the Luos, and the previous royal families can continue their private businesses and residence in Flowstone Kingdom. The Luo Family must not arbitrarily cause trouble for former royal families and provide them with tax benefits and protection for their industries," Xiaoyao said.

“I agree!” Luo Yunqing said. Although this condition was better than what he had initially offered to the previous Royal family, he allowed it because of its benefits.

Tax benefits essentially meant giving them money permanently as long as they didn’t cease to exist.

"We also agree..." Some members of the former royal families spoke up. In fact, this arrangement wasn't too detrimental to them since all they had now were private assets, with little authority left.

The king was the one who would suffer the most because he still held some authority but almost no private assets, potentially making his life more miserable than any other former royal family. Hence, he was the most resistant.

As for others, having the Luo Family as the new Royal family wouldn’t bring significant changes to them; they would continue doing what they were doing under a different ruler.

In truth, the Luo Family had already become almost the rulers of Flowstone Kingdom. Usually, things went their way, though it wasn't openly acknowledged by everyone but well understood.

The subsequent matter was straightforward; it involved the peaceful transition of authority and resolving the status of former royal families as noble clans while making the Luo family the new Royal Family.

"Is there nothing else Xiaoyao, let's go," Wang Yanyu said to Xiaoyao.

“Alright, anyway, I have no other business,” Xiaoyao nodded his head.

“I think the palace is quite nice. We'll stay here tonight, okay” Wang Yanyu asked Luo Yunqing.

"No problem. We don't necessarily need to stay in the palace..." Luo Yunqing said. Even though it was called a palace, its size wasn’t much different from the Luos’, but there were some unique palace-style buildings that the Luos didn't have.

The most important facility in the royal palace is the grand hall where all ministers attend court. This was something that the Luo family did not have, and Luo Yunqing believed that he would eventually need to reside in the royal palace.

Although it wasn't necessary for the head of the Luo family to become king, at present, there weren't many people who were qualified for this position. Moreover, even fewer could restrain those ministers. Therefore, Luo Yunqing was the natural choice.

Luo Yunqing felt a bit headache-inducing; perhaps becoming part of the royal family wasn’t such a good thing because it meant he would have even less time to cultivate. There were just too many things that kings had to deal with.

This was a case of having gains and losses. Unless one was an incompetent ruler, being king was definitely very tiring. In this environment where the fittest survive, an incompetent ruler would quickly be eliminated and have little room for survival unless someone shielded them.

In fact, today Luo Yunqing had to move into the royal palace; the country could not go a day without a king. Others might still stay in the Luo family temporarily, but Luo Yunqing couldn’t.

"I don't care about you guys. Xiaoyao, come with me. We’ll admire the moon tonight," Wang Yanyu pulled Xiaoyao's hand and left. She didn't care how much the people in the Luo family wanted to ask Xiaoyao questions; let them guess for now. It had been a long time since she last saw Xiaoyao, and there were still many things she wanted to say.

"There’s no moon today," Xiaoyao replied, somewhat spoiling the mood.

"Then we’ll look at stars," Wang Yanyu said nonchalantly.

"It might rain tonight…" Xiaoyao continued.

"If it rains, we'll just go inside. Why are you being so talkative Are you not wanting to be with me" Wang Yanyu glared at Xiaoyao; if he dared say anything she didn’t want to hear, she would make him suffer.

"Of course not, I still have many questions for you," Xiaoyao immediately shook his head. This wasn't because he was scared or trying to flatter her; it was a fact because Wang Yanyu was like a mobile library, and many problems could be answered through her.

"Then why did you say all that" Wang Yanyu gave Xiaoyao an annoyed glance.

"I’m just stating the facts. You can take what I said as wind passing by your ear," Xiaoyao casually replied.

"You’re so talkative…" Wang Yanyu grumbled and pulled Xiaoyao away.

The two left in front of everyone’s gaze, and some people still couldn’t believe that the key decision makers just now were these two individuals. Moreover, both of them didn't seem to care about the matter at all.

"This Xiaoyao is full of surprises…" Luo Yunqing said, "Perhaps his appearance marks a turning point for our Luo family…"

Luo Yunqing increasingly felt that Xiaoyao might be the key to the Luo family’s rise. From when Xiaoyao appeared until now, he had first provided medicinal pills to support the Luo family and even refined marrow-washing pills!

Secondly, it was quite coincidental that he happened to appear during that event. Although Xiaoyao played no role in that incident, it just so happened to be an opportunity for other forces to weaken each other. Maybe this good luck was brought about by Xiaoyao.

The last point was the current situation where, without Xiaoyao, things might have turned out differently; the royal family might have received help from the Vast Righteousness Sect and the Luo family would possibly face off against Wang Chongshan of the Vast Righteousness Sect. Just one person could be terrifying enough, let alone his ability to command others in the sect.

Now because of Xiaoyao’s involvement, not only did they avoid offending Wang Chongshan, but it seemed that a rather close relationship had been established with him, allowing the Luo family to turn danger into safety and remain quite secure.

These points might just be coincidences, or perhaps they were brought about by Xiaoyao’s aura of good fortune.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Expel all former members of the royal family from the palace, but if anyone resists, put them to death," Luo Yunqing began handling affairs. There was a lot of work he had to deal with now, and in a few days, there would also be preparations for his coronation ceremony, although it wouldn’t be large-scale but necessary nonetheless.

Xiaoyao didn't know about these matters; he was just accompanying Wang Yanyu. Because of this, no one disturbed him either. Everyone in the Luo family considered accompanying Wang Yanyu to be a very important task, perhaps even more so than any other matter.

To say why Wang Yanyu appeared here, Xiaoyao also found it strange. He wouldn’t believe that she came for the sake of becoming queen; even if her father Wang Chongshan sent her over as an act of gratitude, she might not necessarily come.

There should be necessary reasons for her coming here, and he had asked about this too but received somewhat dubious answers.

"I came to play around in the mountains and waters. Just wandering aimlessly," Wang Yanyu’s reply was simple, but when she said it, she seemed rather hesitant to look at Xiaoyao, talking about other things instead.

Xiaoyao saw that Wang Yanyu acted this way, so he didn't press further; after all, it was her own matter. If she didn’t want to say anything, then he wouldn’t force her.

"Your Majesty, do you know what cultivation method comes after the Divine Farmer’s Scripture" Xiaoyao began getting to the point and asked a question he wanted to know about, seeing if Wang Yanyu had any information on it.

(To be continued)u Yue!!”A sudden cry of surprise. It unraveled some mysteries, causing the entire hall to fall silent. Those who already knew remained quiet, while those who didn't heard this situation and imme...
