“Master Li!”
Lochlan didn’t care that he was emperor and he actually knelt down on the ground. His voice shook, “Master Li, you are the empire’s spine. How can you retire? We just got the world. Iron Skull City, Swirling Abyss City and Nine Heavens City have not shown loyalty. If you leave, the empire will be in a mess!”
He kowtowed, “I hope Master Li can rethink it and accompany Lochlan!”
I shook my head, “No need to worry. After me, naturally, someone else will take over The Executor position to help you protect the land.”
I helped the young ruler up and smiled, “Lochlan, actually you can sense that my heart isn’t here anymore. Moreover, I am good at attacking but in terms of defending, that is not something I am good at.”
Lin Qiong cupped his fists, “The Executor, you spent your life opening up new lands for the empire, I am willing to follow you. With us here, the empire will exist!”
Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Jing Yin etc knelt down, “We will follow Sir for our lives!”
I was a little helpless. I raised this bunch up and they were very loyal to me But because of that, the entire army was in my control. Lochlan even recognised me as his master. If one day he didn’t? I didn’t want to end up dying because of that.
I insisted, “Lochlan, I have made up my mind, no need to try to persuade me. Once Pearl wakes up, I will retire.”
He frowned and bit his teeth, “Master Li, you… You are really willing to abandon us?”
I smiled, “No, I won’t go far. I will still be here just that I won’t bother about world matters. If Tianling Empire is in trouble, I will come back. Believe me on that.”
Lochlan finally nodded his head, “Then… I won’t make things hard for Master Li. But after Master Li leaves, who can take over?”
I didn’t need to think, “Changfeng Army’s Zhao Kaiguo general is quite detailed and is good at defending. After him, Zhou Ning and Fang Ge Que are good too.”
Lochlan nodded, “I shall follow Master Li’s words. Once Master Li retires, I will make General Zhao the new Executor!”
He hesitated and then said, “Since Master Li has not left the empire and doesn’t want to be The Executor… Then… How about I give you a t.i.tle?”
“What t.i.tle?” I smiled and asked.
“Lochlan wants… To make Master Li King!”
“King?”
I was stunned and said, “I remember the officials all objected that someone not in the family becomes king. Tian Ling City is the Luoke family’s. I am Li so that is not good right?”
Lochlan was really determined, “No, I am the ruler, I say that it works. You helped me to open up the lands and sweep everyone. I am the first ruler of the continent in thousands of years. I don’t have to follow their rules. I just need Master Li to …
