Chapter 147: The Empress finds it a bit interesting
Right now, the Empress is seriously thinking of offering the young man in front of her an official position.
Luo Wusheng immediately understood what the young empress meant.
Although he had some speculations earlier, thinking that his actions in the capital might attract the attention of the Immortal Nation and lead to them offering him a government position or something similar, when it actually happened, and the empress herself was discussing it with him
Well, it felt pretty good.
Of course, he wouldn't just readily agree to it. Taking a government position in the Immortal Nation was something he had considered as an alternative path before arriving in the capital. He thought that if he couldn't make the plan he have with the Demon Artifact Pavillion work, he could try this route. After all, as the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, he might need some official status for a long stay in the capital and, even more importantly, for the upcoming Demon Purging War. But now, the situation had changed.
With the current status of the Demon Sect's Artifact Pavilion, he didn't need to consider obtaining an official position to establish himself in the capital.
If possible, I'd prefer a position that involves eating, drinking, and having fun without any real work, and it would be even better if it could provide assistance from the Immortal Nation during the Demon Purging War'
Unfortunately, he couldn't say this out loud. Even the empress wouldn't have such an easy and relaxed government position in the Immortal Nation. In that case, he should consider other benefits.
Common positions in the Immortal Nation wouldn't sway this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, so he should be looking for extra perks, such as gaining the empress's favor.
With these thoughts in mind, he smiled gently after a moment of contemplation.
"If I were to say that I indeed have the intention to share your concerns, Your Majesty, what kind of position would you be willing to offer me?"
If the empress was extending an offer at this particular time, it was clear that she had already considered everything, including the position she wanted to entrust to him and the benefits he, as the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, would receive. To make the horse run, you need to offer it some hay. The empress was a clever person, and she naturally understood this. As expected, the beautiful young woman across from him, after hearing his words and briefly pausing, revealed a serene smile on her face.
She gently lifted her right hand, which was resting on her left sleeve, and it seemed that a faint radiance appeared in her hand. The next moment, two objects appeared on the table.
The empress offered two items, a small golden seal and a blank mask.
"The position of a guest official of the Six Gate Bureau, with the same privileges as the other Golden-Ranked member, and access to the confidential information on the spies within the Six Gate Bureau"
The empress gently touched the items and pushed them slightly in Luo Wusheng's direction. "I believe these items are more valuable to you than other ordinary rewards."
She continued, "Furthermore, the Six Gate Bureau is under my sole jurisdiction, and the Golden-Ranked member is subject only to my orders."
"I can also assure you that I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
The conditions were now laid out.
Luo Wusheng felt a bit surprised. "Your majesty wants to give me the Six Gate Bureau golden seal? But I haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet"
"I've never specified that the Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau is restricted to those at the Nascent Soul stage," the empress replied, shaking her head. "Besides, with your talent, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time. You also possess the ability to defeat cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, surpassing ordinary cultivators who have already reached it."
Luo Wusheng fell into deep thought.
This offer was incredibly advantageous to him.
Leaving aside the other benefits, the access to the Six Gate Bureau' spy network and confidential information was what truly piqued his interest. In the past, before he regained his memories, he was focused on cultivating and collecting rare stones, paying little attention to the world's developments and power shifts.
But now, with his awakened memories, he knew that his current strategies and preparations in the capital were based on a combination of thorough planning and lucky coincidences, as well as the memories he retained from the original story.
He needed information, especially about the major cultivation powers, most importantly the information about the Buddhist sect.
Without his post-Demon Purging War memories, he had to deduce the true cause behind the Demon Purging War from the information he could gather. At the very least, he needed to understand his status as the Demon Sect's Holy Holy Saint in the eyes of the Buddhist monks and why they hadn't taken action against him yet.
Additionally, his memories of the Demon Purging War were extremely vague, and he only knew the final outcome the fall of the Demon Sect, with only a few individuals, including Bai Xiaoyao, escaping.
He couldn't remember how the Demon Purging War unfolded or why the Buddhist sect could so easily destroy the ancient Demon Sect.
This was information he needed to derive from his gathered intelligence. And if he could find such information in the archives of the Six Gate Bureau, it would save him a lot of time and effort.
Furthermore
Luo Wusheng looked at the breathtakingly beautiful young woman in front of him.
If I were within the Six Gate Bureau, I could also work closely with Miss Kirin, who is the empress's mortal incarnation'
If he were to join the Six Gate, the chance of him increasing his favorability with the empress would be quite plenty.
Thinking about this, he let out a slow breath.
" If that's the case, Your Majesty's proposal is indeed hard for me to refuse."
Luo Wusheng paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I have a simple request, and I hope Your Majesty can fulfill it."
At this moment, the mask and the seal on the table had all been stored in the youth's storage bag.
The empress's thoughts were in contemplation. The request Luo Wusheng made afterward was both unexpected and reasonable.
Although he had accepted the mask and the golden seal, he didn't intend to immediately join the Six Gate Bureau.
He wanted to don the mask, becoming a Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau, and when he took it off, he would sever his ties with the Six Gate, becoming the Demon Sect's Holy Saint once more.
In short, he wanted the benefit of being both a Golden Ranked member of the Immortal Nation Six Gate Bureau and the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect without anyone knowing about it.
The empress understood this well. After all, her mortal incarnation was similarly a well-kept secret that no one else knew.
Delaying his entry was also quite normal, as everyone in the capital was now keeping a close eye on this rising star from the Demon Sect. If a half-Nascent Soul Golden-Ranked member suddenly appeared within the Six Gate Bureau, it would undoubtedly raise suspicions.
However, why does he not want people to know this?
The empress wondered why this young man, who had been in the limelight ever since he arrived in the capital, was suddenly inclined to keep a low profile at this particular time.
For some reason, a mental image flashed in her mind. In the image, her mortal incarnation and the young man before her, both pretending as if they were meeting for the first time
The thought of him not knowing that her mortal incarnation had long known his identity and seeing him make an effort to conceal it seemed strangely amusing to the empress.
Well it's time to get back to business.'
Regaining her focus, the empress glanced at her left wrist, which was still concealed by her sleeve.
Next, she needed to figure out whether the unusual change in her Dragon Fortune was truly connected to the young man before her.
Her right hand began to turn over, as if she was about to retrieve something.
However, at that very moment, the young man in front of her suddenly stood up, his expression turning extremely grim.
