Lu Yu followed the path and came to a mud house.

It was a simple and crude mud house covered in cracks and even holes in the roof.

Helen walked up and knocked on the door.

“This place is so crude. It’s not even a wooden house.”

There were three types of houses in Mountain City. One was mud, one was wooden, and the last was brick.

Obviously, mud houses were the lowest kind; only the poor lived here.

Not long after, the door opened, and a thin figure walked out.

“Who’s there?”

Her eyes widened when she walked out and saw Helen standing before her.

“It’s you! You came to visit me again!”

She shouted excitedly.

“Yes, I’m here for you, Grace. Long time no see.”

“Great! I’m so happy that I still get to see you again!”

She walked forward and wanted to hug Helen, but she looked at her simple clothes and stopped in her tracks.

Helen didn’t mind and went up to hug her.

“This is your friend?”

Lu Yu walked over and asked.

“That’s right, it’s her.”

Lu Yu sized up the girl in front of him with her messy blonde hair tied up.
There was some dust on her face, and her hands were rough. Lu Yu placed his hands in front of him, wanting to shake her hand.

“Hello, my name is Lu Yu.”

She looked at Lu Yu warily. “You don’t look like someone from here.”

“That’s right, I’m from the outside world. I’m Helen’s friend.”

Hearing this, Grace let down her guard and shook hands with Lu Yu.

“Hello, my name is Grace.”

“Lu Yu, don’t look down on her because of her current situation. She used to be a wealthy family’s daughter!”

Lu Yu’s curiosity was piqued. “So why… did she turn out like this?”

“Because she has been helping the poor, but there are just too many. She can’t help them all by herself. She was then abandoned by her family, and she had spent all her money. When I met her, she was penniless.”

Hearing this, Grace smiled. “Thank you for your help back then, Helen. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be alive now. I didn’t expect that someone who has been helping others would also need help one day.”

Lu Yu looked at Grace. This girl didn’t seem to have bad intentions.

“Grace, what do you think about being the City Lord of Mountain City?”

She had helped many people and must have had a kind reputation in this city. Moreover, she was kind and upright, making her suitable to be a leader.

“Me? I won’t even dare dream about this. Tulu is so powerful, so how can I be a City Lord?”

“Tulu is dead,” Helen quickly said. “Mountain City has no Lord for now; the position is vacant!”

Obviously, Grace did not know about this news, as she had gone to bed early last night.

“What? No way, who could kill Tulu?”

She asked in confusion.

“Of course, it’s this fellow. He’s the City Lord now, with unanimous support from the people.”

The Empress placed her hands on Lu Yu’s shoulders and smiled proudly.

“You? You killed Tulu?”

Lu Yu nodded slightly at her question. “That’s right. Therefore, I’ll be at ease if you become the City Lord. You’ll just need to manage this city well and persevere until I return, and your mission will be completed.”

Hearing this, Grace was completely dumbfounded. She did not expect an impoverished person like her to be hit by a falling grace that made her the highest authority in the city!

“No, I can’t do it. I don’t have the strength. Those people won’t agree with me being the City Lord!”

Lu Yu looked at the Empress and asked, “Can you give her some equipment?”

“Why aren’t you giving it?” the Empress asked.

“I’ve never used any equipment before this, so I don’t have any newbie equipment.”

The Empress pursed her lips and took a dagger from her storage ring.

“Blue Grade, Silent Night Dagger. It has a high attack stat. Once you equip it, you can kill whoever you want in this city!”

Grace took the dagger, still in a daze.

Immediately after, the Empress took out a black suit. “Another Blue Grade. Once you put it on, no one in this city can penetrate your defense.”

Grace took the clothes numbly.

Helen patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t let us down, and we’ll be back soon. Everything will be different when we return, including the Ember Empire.”

Hearing this, Grace still couldn’t process it.

“What exactly are you guys trying to do?”

She asked in confusion.

“You will be the City Lord and take over my position as the temporary City Lord. I will return soon. At that time, the entire Ember Empire will change rulers!”

Lu Yu declared confidently. He believed he could do it and would definitely do it.

He would destroy the core of the Ember Empire and wipe out their military ambitions. He would also crush all their evil plans!

“Alright, I’m getting the gist of what’s happening here. In that case, I’ll be the City Lord so you can leave this place without worry. I’ll guarantee that everything will be fine and that nothing will go wrong!”

Lu Yu patted her shoulder and said, “Work hard. We’ll be leaving this place soon.”

“Come out and greet them.”

Grace walked out and was surprised to see that the streets outside the house were filled with people from the city.

“Everyone, this person will be my interim City Lord. I have something to do and can’t stay here for too long, so this person will be the City Lord!”

Everyone looked at Grace’s figure. Although there was some controversy among the crowd, they quickly accepted it. After all, Grace had a good reputation in Mountain City and was a kind and understanding person.

“Everyone, I will do my best to fulfill my duties as the City Lord and do my best to ensure everyone’s lives.”

Grace declared humbly.

“Alright, the three of us will continue on our journey. You guys handle your affairs. I’ll return once I have the chance in the future. Even if I don’t return, you’ll hear our names!”

As Lu Yu spoke, he passed through the crowd and headed out of the city.

Helen quickly followed. “Aren’t we leaving too fast? There are still many things that we haven’t briefed Grace on.”

“What else is there to tell her? Leave the rest to Grace. She’ll take care of it.”

“You trust her too much.”

The three of them chatted as they walked out of the city. Grace’s home was close to the city gates, so they quickly left Mountain City.

The city’s citizens watched Lu Yu and the others leave. They knew they could not keep them here and could only sigh dejectedly.

At the very least, they were thankful that Lu Yu had replaced Tulu as the City Lord.

As long as Grace was not another tyrant, their future lives would not be a problem.

In the near future, they will for sure hear Lu Yu’s name again.
