Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

He only thought about usurping the throne before; in fact, he never considered what would happen after he usurped it.

How to select talent?

Simply threatening those military officers won't work.

How can taxation be reformed?

How to curb land consolidation?

"Sure enough, I used to be what Miss Su called a love-obsessed person, and I treated political intrigue like child's play."

"But what about Su Xin?"

The thought of this person made his heart clench, as if it had been suddenly squeezed, causing him unbearable pain.

How can I forget my feelings after so many years?

Even if it was just unrequited love on his part, he felt that he was so deeply in love that he couldn't extricate himself.

"Pure heart... Pure heart..."

Zhu Wushi muttered to himself, his face growing increasingly pale.

Thinking of Su Xin, he couldn't help but think of his father, the Emperor.

"Why? He was clearly the most outstanding person, yet you turned a blind eye! In the end, you still passed the throne to someone else!"

As the most outstanding master in the world, Zhu Wushi was quite proud.

He was superior to others in both literary talent and martial arts, yet he could not win the favor of his father, the emperor.

"Why are you so biased?!"

"In what way is Zhu Wushi inferior to others?!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Wushi's face twisted, and he recalled the night he brought Suxin back to the capital.

"No, absolutely not!"

"I absolutely do not agree to her marrying into the Zhu family!"

The Emperor's voice was cold, containing an undeniable authority.

Zhu Wushi believed that if he dared to disobey the order, his father would not hesitate to strip him of his 640th princely title, and he might even lose his life.

In fact, he was mentally prepared before bringing Su Xin back to Beijing.

A married woman would never be accepted by the royal family.

During the Song Dynasty, women could remarry and enter the imperial family, becoming concubines.

After the Song Dynasty, the Cheng-Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism flourished, so such a thing is absolutely impossible.

If this happens, the Zhu family's reputation will be ruined.

To protect the Zhu family's reputation, Zhu Wushi was naturally willing to be sacrificed.

Since he knew this, he still did it for a simple reason—he wanted to see his place in his father's heart.

"Unfortunately, Father didn't say a single word of tenderness; he was all stern and harsh." Zhu Wushi looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face.

His heart sank after that.

Her commitment to purity of heart reached its absolute peak at that moment.

Whether it was affection or rebellion against his father, even Zhu Wushi couldn't tell.

All he knew was that every time he wanted to give up, a demonic voice would ring out in his mind—"Are you just going to give up like this? Resign yourself to your fate?"

You're afraid to do things he forbids you from doing?

"No, I dare!"

　(aida) Zhu Wushi possesses a tenacity far exceeding that of ordinary people!

His rebellious spirit rekindled.

Moreover, what he wanted was not only to defy his father's decree to marry Su Xin, but also to defy his father's decree and seize the throne that belonged to him.

He wanted to prove to his father, the emperor, in the afterlife, that he, Zhu Wushi, was the most outstanding prince, and that he could obtain what the emperor wouldn't give him through his own efforts!

Memories surfaced in my mind, gradually becoming clearer.

Zhu Wushi also came to realize his own shortcomings.

He liked Su Xin very much, but not to the point of abandoning himself.

The reason he behaved so poorly was simple—Su Xin was an indispensable tool for him to rebel against his father, the emperor.

"What do I need to prove to him?" Zhu Wushi suddenly laughed. "Father, I've joined the chat group and have the opportunity to become an immortal or a saint. I am the most outstanding. If you don't agree, someone else will!"

"Even our ancestors approved of me!"

At this moment, Zhu Wushi felt his empty heart gradually being filled.

At this moment, Su Xin also became unimportant.

"So, I've already gotten what I wanted most!" Zhu Wushi laughed heartily, his expression becoming extremely cheerful. "There are some things I should let go of."

Thinking back on everything that had happened, Zhu Wushi felt like laughing.

"No wonder Zhu Youjian looked down on me. I did lack the demeanor of a king in the past, and I was too petty!"

"Although he was a failed emperor, he dared to boast about his skills in the southeast, which is quite impressive. However, I am no worse than you. If you can do it, I, Zhu Wushi, can certainly do it too. Moreover, I can do it even better!"

Zhu Wushi was excited and strode out with his head held high.

Arrived at the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison.

Beneath the dark prison walls, snakes and rats would dart past, only to be sucked away by a suction force, ultimately emitting a sharp scream.

"who is it?"

Seemingly sensing the footsteps, a voice filled with surprise and uncertainty came from inside the prison.

"Were they sent by Zhu Tiedan again?"

"No," Zhu Wushi said calmly, "I came in person."

The invincible, mischievous Gu Santong's cold laugh rang out: "What? Are you that afraid of me!"

"No." Zhu Wushi pressed his palm against the wall of the prison, but the impenetrable wall melted into water in the blink of an eye and fell to the ground.

When Gu Santong saw him, he became extremely wary.

He can also melt copper and iron with his inner energy.

However, it's impossible to do it so easily, and one must not let any heat escape.

It is important to know that melting copper and iron requires extremely high temperatures.

He hadn't sensed any heat when the copper and iron melted.

"Zhu Tiedan, your strength has increased again!" Gu Santong exclaimed in surprise, "I am no match for you!"

This was the first time he admitted that his martial arts skills were inferior to Zhu Wushi's.

Zhu Wushi said calmly, "It was just a stroke of luck. Let's go outside and talk."

Gu Santong was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Go out? What kind of trick are you planning now?" Gu Santong frowned.

Zhu Wushi turned around and walked out: "If you're scared, then stay inside."

"Afraid?" Gu Santong laughed. "From the day I stepped into the martial world, I, Gu Santong, have disregarded life and death."

Having said that, he followed Zhu Wushi and walked outside.

The prison was dark and gloomy, with the screams of prisoners echoing from time to time, making it feel like hell and terrifying.

Neither Zhu Wushi nor Gu Santong spoke, remaining silent for a while until they went outside and came to a mountain forest.

“Gu Santong, you are free now!” Zhu Wushi said. “I wronged you in the past, and I will return Suxin to you in the future.”

Gu Santong was shocked: "What... what are you up to?"

"It's just a sudden realization," Zhu Wushi sighed. "By the way, you have another son named Cheng Shifei, who's a little gambler now. If you don't rescue him soon, he'll probably be sold to the palace to be a eunuch."

"I have a son?" Gu Santong was shocked.

Zhu Wushi nodded: "That's right, Su Xin gave birth to your child, you wouldn't dare to do it but not admit it, would you?"

"This, this..." Gu Santong couldn't deny what he had done, "It's just a little hard to believe."

"Believe it or not, you'll know once Su Xin comes back and you can verify it." Zhu Wushi waved his hand. "I have to get back to work now."

"Serious business?" Gu Santong's curiosity was piqued. "What serious business?"

You'll find out later!

"strangeness!"

"I thought Zhu Tiedan released me because he needed something, but I didn't expect him to just leave like that?!"
