At that moment,

the Great Tang Emperor took the initiative to speak out and asked,

“Master, may I know the purpose of your visit this time?”

The Great Tang Emperor knew that Cheng Guang would not come to Great Tang Chang’an City without a reason; there must be some other task for him to perform.

Last time, the task that Cheng Guang had assigned him, the suppression and control over the Great Yan Dynasty, the Emperor himself had failed to accomplish.

For this, he had blamed himself for some time.

Now that Cheng Guang had come again, the Emperor was prepared to make amends.

If he were to fail again at the task Cheng Guang set for him, then what else was there to say?

The Emperor could not even forgive himself.

Once or twice was still okay; even if the task wasn’t done perfectly, it didn’t matter.

The Emperor was just afraid that the Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang would be thoroughly disappointed in him.

And then, he would be abandoned, and Tang Chang’an City would be taken back.

For the sake of Great Tang, the Emperor was willing to swallow his pride.

But if swallowing his pride turned out to be of no use…

then he might as well find a block of tofu to smash his head against.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, there’s a matter this time.”

“However, it’s not about you.”

Saying this, Cheng Guang’s gaze moved from the Emperor and settled on Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

The Emperor was startled, not about me?

Was it about Erlang Shen Yang Jian??

Could it be??

Just because I failed at one task, does the Princely Heir plan to give up on me??

His expression suddenly became somewhat unsightly, his heart filled with sorrow.

He almost wanted to break down and cry.

At this moment, the Great Tang Emperor felt like a newly married woman, easily afflicted by gains and losses in her heart.

At the same time,

he highly valued Cheng Guang’s opinion of him.

And upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s dark, deep eyes suddenly showed a trace of confusion.

“For me?”

“Do you wish for me to do something?”

Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, paused for a moment, deliberately omitting Cheng Guang’s title.

To call him Master.

Once or twice was fine.

For Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, a subconscious slip of the tongue was not so unacceptable.

But, to expect him to call someone Master repeatedly, or rather, to take the initiative to call someone Master, was something Erlang Shen Yang Jian truly couldn’t bring himself to do.

Cheng Guang didn’t place much importance on Erlang Shen Yang Jian not calling him master; in fact, he barely took it to heart.

He picked up a teapot that was beside him, poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking a simple sip and letting the clear fragrance of the tea diffuse in his mouth,

he then slowly began to speak:

“I need you to…”

Cheng Guang paused for a moment and then continued,

“Go find the forces of the Celestial Gods or the Western Buddhas, and then annihilate them, taking for yourself whatever they possess.”

After Cheng Guang’s words were spoken,

both Erlang Shen Yang Jian and the Great Tang Emperor were stunned.

Both Erlang Shen Yang Jian and the Great Tang Emperor knew that the Duke’s Heir Cheng Guang harbored enmity against the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas.

However, even though they were aware of Cheng Guang’s hostility towards these entities, they had not anticipated that the Duke’s Heir would actually dare to make a move against the Celestial Gods or the Western Buddhas.

To obliterate the forces of the Celestial Gods or the Western Buddhas…

And then to plunder their spoils…

That wasn’t just bold.

It was at least ten times bolder.

At least the current Great Tang Emperor didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.

Although the Emperor had always regarded the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas as hypothetical adversaries,

he had never considered both forces as his enemies at the same time.

The Emperor had thought of relying on one side to strike against the other.

By doing so, he hoped to swiftly enhance his own strength.

When Erlang Shen Yang Jian heard Cheng Guang’s words, he too was briefly taken aback.

Although Erlang Shen Yang Jian seemed very shocked, his reaction was much calmer than the Emperor’s.

He only hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He accepted the task.

“Very well.”

Erlang Shen Yang Jian replied with just two concise words.

Cheng Guang nodded, “Begin your task now.”

“I’ll give you one month.”

Erlang Shen Yang Jian rose to his feet and flew off immediately.

In the blink of an eye, Erlang Shen Yang Jian had vanished from the spot.

Cheng Guang watched Erlang Shen Yang Jian disappear.

He set down the teacup he was holding.

In truth, for Cheng Guang, completing the system task was a goal.

The process wasn’t important.

Cheng Guang had initially planned to have Erlang Shen Yang Jian obliterate a dynasty, then he would swoop in to take control, pretending for a bit, staging a play, before pocketing the system task rewards.

But,

upon seeing Erlang Shen Yang Jian,

Cheng Guang suddenly changed his mind.

There was no need to directly stage a play.

Given Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s knowledge of the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas, perhaps Erlang Shen really did know some secrets Cheng Guang was unaware of.

If Cheng Guang himself were to act, he might not be able to find the whereabouts of the Celestial Gods or the Western Buddhas in a short period, not to mention obliterating one of their forces and getting a share of the spoils.

But,

with Erlang Shen Yang Jian, there truly was opportunity.
