Huo Yuhao from The Peerless Tang Sect is incredibly talented.

There were two copies of the letter of appointment, one kept by the individual and the other kept by the Ministry of Personnel.

After receiving the letter of appointment as the city lord of Tiandou City, Huo Yuhao suddenly turned to look at Vina with a stern gaze.

Looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes, Vina suddenly realized something and was about to speak when Huo Yuhao interrupted her first.

"Your Highness, with me here in Tiandou City, you can rest assured. Please go ahead and return to your sect."

Huo Yuhao's tone was businesslike, and he even gave a slight bow, a perfunctory half-bow. But Vina could see it clearly—the smile in his eyes was undisguised, and the curve of his lips clearly said: Little brat, hurry up and go back to practice your skills, don't even think about slacking off.

The Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, seeing that it was Huo Yuhao urging his daughter to return to the sect to cultivate, said nothing more. He didn't interrupt and silently lowered his head to continue working, reviewing official documents.

Although Vina admitted that Huo Yuhao's training methods were very effective, it was really tiring. Given Vina's teenage mentality, she naturally wanted to prolong her time as much as possible after finally getting out of the training room.

The desperate cycle of being hit by a jeep, being pulled up by healing magic, being hit again, and being pulled up again is so relentless that just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

The medicinal bath was comfortable, but I fell asleep while soaking in it and was then dragged into a virtual classroom for class.

The cultivation method is also incredibly efficient. Every time I practice, I feel like I've been practicing blindly before. However, completing a full cycle of energy circulation is truly exhausting.

It's the kind of mental exhaustion where you fall asleep as soon as you finish practicing, but then you still have to be dragged into virtual classes.

What's even more infuriating is Huo Yuhao. He left behind a soul-guided puppet, called something like "Brother Luo Di." Although he's no longer going to get hit by a jeep, he's now taking theory classes, which makes the students even more desperate.

Luo Ge's dead puppet was clearly a high-end item, and it could constantly observe the mental state of the younger generation of the Body Sect during class.

Whether you've lost focus or not, how much attention you have left, that guy knows perfectly well. What's even more infuriating is that we, the Body Sect, practice body cultivation. It's one thing to have theoretical classes, but it's another to talk about the meridians and acupoints of the human body, how to open up secret realms in the human body, and how to use the body as a seed.

They even taught us to control elements. What would we martial artists do with that? We would have to build mental models, learn mathematics, and study the properties of elements and such.

Three lessons awaken the warrior's spirit; teacher, I am a physical education student.

In Vina's view, the Body Sect was now in dire straits. In comparison, although her father's study was stuffy, at least she had food and drink and didn't have to run around. The bed in the palace wasn't as soft as a medicine vat, but at least she wouldn't be dragged into the virtual realm for classes while she slept.

Even when you're in the virtual realm, you're still playing voice messages all day long. How can you sleep at your age?

Young Sect Master, how could you be so mean!

Although Huo Yuhao saw through her little scheme, Vina still wanted to make a last-ditch effort and begged her father to let her stay in the palace for a few more days.

But before she could say anything...

"Your Highness." Huo Yuhao's voice floated down from above, not loud, but like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

Vina snapped out of her daze and found Huo Yuhao standing in front of her, looking down at her. Looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes, Vina found his gaze icy and unyielding.

Vina conceded defeat because Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in her mind.

"Hurry back and catch up on your lessons while you're at it. Stop dawdling; I don't want to do it."

"Yes, Young Sect Master, I'll return to the sect now." Vina turned and left.

Huo Yuhao drew his Yama Blade, tearing through space. He bent down, guided the way with his right hand, and said to Vina, who was walking towards the study door, "Your Highness, this way please."

Vina turned around abruptly, looking at Huo Yuhao with three parts anger, three parts confusion, and four parts resentment in her eyes. She walked towards the empty door that Huo Yuhao had opened, leading directly to the Body Sect and putting her only one step away from it.

Huo Yuhao, however, didn't care at all. He thought that if a teacher hadn't been cursed at by students behind his back, then he hadn't been a teacher at all.

It's impossible for one person to please everyone. If you want to please everyone, you might as well do nothing.

Want to take a few more days off on the way from Heaven Dou City to Body Sect? Dream on! Wasting time is wasting your life, Vina. Please accept my good intentions.

After witnessing Vina return to the Body Sect for classes.

Huo Yuhao took out the control center of the law enforcement robot from his sleeve, and then took out a black crystal screen, which he placed flat on the table.

The crystal screen was entirely black, with extremely fine golden lines along its edges, resembling some kind of ancient runes. He tapped it a few times with his fingers, and the screen lit up, a deep blue light shining through its depths, like illuminating a lamp submerged underwater.

This is granting permissions, making the black crystal screen's authority second only to the control center.

Of course, as a cunning old man who has cultivated in the heavens for thousands of years, he must have left a back door.

After the authorization was completed, Huo Yuhao pushed the control center towards the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and then took the black crystal screen.

"Your Majesty, this is the highest level of control. All law enforcement robots of the same model can be controlled through this. Deployment, deactivation, command modification—all permissions are here."

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire looked down at the crystal screen, not reaching for it. He tapped it lightly twice on the armrest of his chair with his fingers, then stopped.

"Nephew, as I've said before, 'If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.'" He raised his head, looking at Huo Yuhao. "You can manage your robot yourself. I don't need top-level authority. I only need one thing—the robot's action logs and law enforcement information. Who was arrested, why they were arrested, where they are detained, and how they are dealt with—I need to know all of that. As for how the robot fights, how it chases, and how it makes judgments, I won't interfere."

After all, while these thousand law enforcement robots were precious, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, winning over Huo Yuhao, the young sect leader of the Body Sect, was clearly more important.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's robots were given away for free, and he didn't have to pay for their maintenance. By taking over the highest control over these robots, how could the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire possibly have any shame?

Add to that Huo Yuhao being the young sect master of the Body Sect, and given the Heavenly Soul Empire emperor's understanding that the Body Sect master is invincible, he might just take him away one day.

After all, he didn't spend a single penny, and even gave Huo Yuhao an official position.

In Du Busi's mind, official positions were a complete hindrance to cultivation. Huo Yuhao thought it wouldn't have any impact, but who knew what Du Busi was thinking? He might come to demand compensation one day after he came out of seclusion.

Forget it, let's find a reason to give Huo Yuhao a ten-thousand-year soul bone later, so that he won't come back and cause trouble if he can't be poisoned to death.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao spoke up.

"Uncle, it's best to leave the highest authority to you." Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but his attitude was firm. "You are the emperor, and Tiandou City is your capital. The robots are enforcing the law in your city, so you should have the final say."

"I have the final say," the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire laughed. "Indeed, but this is your own thing. If you give it away, wouldn't it be seen as me selling official positions?"

"uncle."

"Nephew," the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone a few degrees harsher than before, "I entrusted Heavenly Dou City to you, not so you could shirk authority. I've said it before: if I doubt someone, I won't use them; if I use someone, I won't doubt them. If you manage the robots well, I'll be at ease. If you manage Heavenly Dou City well, I'll be even more at ease. As for the highest authority—keep it for yourself." He glanced at the control center.

The Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire looked at Huo Yuhao again and said, "You kid don't think that because you possess such strong martial power, you're afraid that your uncle will suspect you, do you?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile shyly and said yes.

Only then did the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire feel like he was facing a normal child. He smiled and said, "My child, the power of the law enforcement robots in your hands is indeed strong, but it is ultimately no match for a Title Douluo. Moreover, as the young sect master of the Body Sect, you possess the strongest military force in the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Body Sect itself. Therefore, even if you hold the control center, I have complete confidence in you."

Only then did Huo Yuhao realize that he was not in a mortal dynasty or a country with a fluctuating national fortune.

Huo Yuhao then raised his hand and clasped his hands in thanks to the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle. I will definitely build up Heavenly Dou City well."

"Haha, then I wish you all the best," the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire said with a smile.

After bowing in greeting, Huo Yuhao left the palace and began to govern Tiandou City.

Next stop, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, let's go.
