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

She has no idea how she got through those years after losing her arm.

This is too difficult!

Even for a martial artist, life was far from peaceful in those times; people's hearts were treacherous, and the world was full of hardships.

Ultimately, she retreated to an ancient temple and lived a secluded life, hoping to escape worldly affairs.

However, monks are also human beings, and they cannot escape the various aspects of human life.

So she embarked on the path of restoring her kingdom, hoping to restore the Ming Dynasty and bring peace to the world.

"But is it really okay?"

At midnight, she often asked herself these questions.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were also starving people everywhere, and people even resorted to cannibalism. It was no place for a human being to live.

Even if the Ming Dynasty were to be restored, what then?

Jiunan is very distressed and anxious!

Despite this, "560" was still single-mindedly focused on restoring her country.

Burdened by national and personal grievances, even though she became a nun, she could not continue reciting the scriptures.

Only the restoration of her kingdom could give her the motivation to live.

Even if it's just a dreamlike illusion, that's fine too!

We pursued this elusive goal until recently.

Jiu Nan suddenly felt relieved.

The world has been transformed, and peace and tranquility have been restored.

She no longer needs to bear the heavy responsibility of the world.

She was just a royal princess, she had not received an imperial education, and she had no right to inherit the throne.

She never wanted to live those days again, when the weight of the nation pressed down on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe.

Actually—fathers are the same, aren't they?

That father, who toiled day and night yet still couldn't save the collapsing world, was perhaps just like her.

Having received no imperial education, the empire came into his hands inexplicably.

For a prince who was raised like a pig.

Political intrigue, something unfamiliar.

The landscape is unfamiliar.

The administration of officials is unfamiliar.

Everything about it left him dumbfounded.

However, now that he has taken the throne, he cannot step down.

Because behind it lies an abyss!

After abdicating, how can one survive?

History clearly told him that if he abdicated, his whole family would likely die with him.

He had no choice but to go!

The web of power struggles was like a net, and my father was like the spider in that net, ultimately being knocked down and blown away in the storms of the late Ming Dynasty.

The harder you try, the faster you fail.

Just like her.

She wanted to restore her kingdom, but she didn't know how!

She knew nothing about power struggles or politics.

It was at this moment that her resentment and confusion towards her father disappeared.

Only after truly participating in politics did she realize how cunning officials could be and how treacherous people could be.

Her father was facing a much more dangerous situation than she was.

But he could only grit his teeth, sit on the dragon throne, and bear the pressure from all sides.

He was an emperor, and he had to face these things.

Even if he was extremely terrified, he had to remain calm and face it.

"Chen Jinnan greets the Ninth Princess!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

Jiu Nan snapped out of her daze and looked over, only to see Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, respectfully bowing.

"That's all from the past, Grand Master. From now on, just call me Abbess. This new dynasty is very good; there's no need to call me Princess anymore."

Jiunan finally understood.

She no longer needs to retain the title of princess from the previous dynasty.

The past should be left in the past.

Now, she can choose to be a nun or return to secular life as an ordinary person.

The feeling of freedom is wonderful; even just thinking about it makes her feel happy.

"Yes, Abbess." Chen Jinnan didn't press the matter. "May I ask what brings you to the capital, Abbess?"

Jiu Nan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has reformed the world, ended the rule of the enemy chieftain, and allowed the people to live in peace and prosperity. I have come here to thank Your Majesty."

"I see," Chen Jinnan said with a smile. "That's exactly the same reason I came here. His Majesty recently visited the overseas islands and recovered lost territories. I am the one who governs those islands. I have come to the capital today to report on my duties. If you wish to see His Majesty, how about I introduce you?"

"The Grand Master has become an official?" Jiu Nan asked in surprise. "You are familiar with the overseas situation and are governing those overseas islands. It can be said that you have made the best use of your talents."

"You flatter me, Master. I must thank His Majesty for valuing me and allowing me, a remnant of the previous dynasty, to serve His Majesty."

Ake stood to one side, completely captivated by the audio.

The leader of the Heaven and Earth Society actually controls all the overseas islands; what a high-ranking official!

If her master also becomes an official, wouldn't she be able to benefit from it as well?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little excited...

After speaking for a while, Chen Jinnan accepted Jiu Nan's visiting card, got up and took his leave.

"Master, do you want to be an official?" After Ajinnan left, Ake asked softly, "In the new dynasty, women can also be officials. If Master wants to be an official, I think it is possible."

Jiu Nan snorted, her gaze sharpening: "Become an official? Master, I'm only good at martial arts. If I become an official, am I supposed to govern the people with force? Being an official isn't easy. If you only want to bully and oppress the people, wouldn't that make you worse than a pig or a dog?"

"In that case, it's better not to do it at all."

Ake felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

If her master doesn't become an official, wouldn't she still have to follow him around, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers?

For a young and beautiful girl, such a boring and monotonous life is simply too cruel.

Aqi nodded gently: "Master is right. Haven't we often seen corrupt officials oppressing the people? Although Master is kind-hearted, once you become an official, you're bound to be deceived by those below you. In the end, won't you end up just like those corrupt officials?"

"Qi'er is right." Jiu Nan nodded in satisfaction. "A Ke, if you want wealth and honor, your master can also point you in the right direction."

Ake's heart stirred, but her face showed fear and trepidation.

“You are not an orphan, but someone I took from Chen Yuanyuan. You have a very famous father named Wu Sangui. Now that the new dynasty has been established, I have no more hatred. You can return to your ancestral home.”

Ake had initially thought it was something good, but upon hearing this, her face turned deathly pale.

3.8 What kind of crazy path is this?!

Aqi whispered, "Master, Wu Sangui betrayed his country for personal gain and has already been executed by His Majesty. If Senior Sister were to return to her ancestral home, wouldn't she be burdened with a terrible reputation?"

Ake nodded gently.

Can she admit to this?

Of course not!

If she dared to say that she was Wu Sangui's daughter, the people of the world would drown her in their spittle.

“Of course I know.” Jiu Nan said solemnly, “Wu Sangui is indeed dead. But Chen Yuanyuan is still alive. I remember His Majesty said she was also a woman with a tragic fate, and he bestowed upon her a garden and a lot of silver. Wouldn’t it be better for Ake to go there than to stay by my side and eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers?”

Aqi was speechless.

She was closest to Jiu Nan, so how could she not know that Chen Yuanyuan had also become a nun?

If my senior sister really goes back, I'm afraid her life won't be too easy.

Ake was somewhat tempted.

But he quickly changed his mind.
