After the court was adjourned in the afternoon, Regent Cui Chang'an was still handling government affairs with the little emperor, while Xiao Wu was strolling alone on the streets of the capital.

Dressed in men's clothing, she looked like just a handsome young man. She looked at the delicacies on the various stalls and curled her lips in disgust.

Compared to the delicacies in Tianwu Spacetime and Earth Spacetime, the food here is really not that delicious.

But she didn't intend to correct it: everyone here is used to it, and even if she is not used to it, she can go to Earth Time and Space and Tianwu Time and Space to eat at any time, so why should she change?

When we walked to a stone bridge, we saw a magic show stall on the pier which attracted many people to watch.

Xiao Wu was already familiar with the inner workings of magic tricks and had no interest at all. She strolled towards the sparsely populated area.

An old man with a white beard sat by the bridge, looking at Xiao Wu with a smile.

Feeling the gaze, Xiao Wu looked over there.

When their eyes met, the old man with white beard not only did not look away, but smiled at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu determined in one second that this was not an ordinary person.

Although he was wearing ordinary cotton shorts, his clothes were clean and tidy, and his cloth shoes were not worn.

And his hair, at first glance it looked a little messy with some strands blowing in the wind, but his bun was not loose at all.

The most important thing is that his eyes are not dim and cloudy like those of the elderly. Instead, they are as clear as a child's eyes.

When looking into people's eyes, he showed no nervousness, guilt, fear, or embarrassment. Instead, he smiled at her kindly and curiously.

Xiao Wu immediately became interested in the other party.

She walked over and squatted down: "Father-in-law, what are you doing here?"

The old man looked at Xiao Wu coming over and grinned: "Look at the world."

Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

The old man pointed to a tea stall not far away and said, "Little girl, could you please give me a bowl of tea?"

Xiao Wu stood up and said, "No problem!"

The old man didn't need Xiao Wu's support. He stood up by himself, holding the bluestone bridge railing, and followed Xiao Wu over.

At the tea stall, a pot of tea cost only a few cents. The two of them sat down. Xiao Wu learned that he had not eaten lunch, so she ordered two more pancakes.

"Take your time to eat. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

The old man didn't refuse. He took a bite of the pancake and then curled his lips in disdain: "It tastes very ordinary."

Xiao Wu burst into laughter. "Being able to open a sesame seed cake and tea stall in the capital, the taste of this is considered quite good in the capital. Why are you so disgusted?"

The old man glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "You said it tasted good, why don't you eat it?"

Xiao Wu chuckled and didn't respond.

She would not let her stomach suffer because she had eaten better food in other time and space.

The old man reluctantly ate a pancake and drank a bowl of tea before asking questions.

"Little girl, why are you so generous? Why are you willing to treat an old man like me to tea and cakes?"

Xiao Wu: "Isn't this what you asked me for?"

Father-in-law: "I didn't ask you for sesame cakes."

"Then consider it my one good deed a day. Take your time eating. I'll be leaving first."

The old man looked around and said, "Okay."

Xiao Wu turned a corner, turned around and traveled through time to a small river bay outside Beijing.

There is a thatched hut at the river bend. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it is actually a resting place that Xiao Wu found for herself.

She walked to the elevated platform in front of the thatched hut, took out a plate of cakes and a pot of tea from her storage space and placed them on the wooden stool, then sat down casually, ready to enjoy her own afternoon tea time.

Yes, as Xiao Wu continued to accumulate merit, she also had her own independent storage space, and the space was getting bigger and bigger.

A hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the snack away.

Xiao Wu turned around in surprise and saw that it was her father-in-law.

It only took me a few minutes to come here...

Xiao Wu jumped up in shock, her whole body tensing up instantly: "Who are you?"

The father-in-law looked indignant. He threw a dessert into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu.

"You are such a rude girl. You have such delicious snacks, but you give me those awful sesame cakes."

After saying that, he picked up the teapot and gulped down two gulps of tea.

The light sweetness of melon and fruit made him sigh in admiration: "Young girl, you really know how to enjoy it. This tastes really good."

Xiaowu:......

She finally realized that this mysterious father-in-law was not an ordinary person. He was able to teleport fifty miles with her to grab food, so he was not someone who was short of food and drink.

Feeling that the other party had no ill intentions, she was no longer anxious and simply took out a few more plates of snacks and fruits and placed them in front of her father-in-law.

"There's more after you finish eating, don't choke."

Seeing that Xiao Wu calmed down so quickly, the father-in-law felt bored.

He put down the plate of snacks, took two sips of tea from the teapot to rinse his mouth, and then sighed.

"You are such a boring girl. You see through things but don't say anything."

"You should be looking at me like you saw a ghost. How could you adapt so quickly?"

Xiao Wu apologized sincerely: "You are right, I should cooperate with you in acting."

Then she jumped up in shock and acted terrified: "You, you, you...where are you from?"

Father-in-law: ...

"The acting is exaggerated. It's not funny."

Xiao Wu sat down and looked at him silently without saying a word.

The old man chuckled again and said, "I came to you today specifically to ask you a question."

Xiao Wu: "What's the problem?"

"You clearly have thousands of ways to develop this little world, why don't you teach your little husband any of them?"

Xiao Wu instantly looked at her father-in-law with eyes as bright as lightning.

The father-in-law did not feel guilty and just looked at Xiao Wu and smiled without saying a word.

"who are you?"

Not only does he know his own secrets, but he also has the ability to travel through space?

The old man grinned and said, "Me? Back then, I was at the top of Mount Huangshan, refining a furnace of elixirs with some old friends..."

"I have been guiding the development of Earth's space-time, both overtly and covertly, but I always feel that there are many shortcomings and regrets..."

"Later, I felt a little regretful, so I wanted to try again in a different, smaller world."

"If I could create a new little world and start over in the direction I want, and control the direction of its development, would there be no regrets?"

“So I went back to many, many small moments…”

"You also promoted the development of Canglan Spacetime?"

Xiao Wu's mind raced as she suppressed her shock and asked.

The old man smiled and said "hmm": "You can see that the development of that time and space also has regrets..."

While material needs are being met, humanity is gradually being extinguished, and people are losing their desire to socialize and live in groups.

A large number of young people can eat and drink as much as they want just by lying down, without having to think about "responsibility and responsibility" at all...

Xiao Wu and her family have also discussed this aspect.

She nodded in understanding.

The old man talked about the development of several small worlds, and then looked at Xiao Wu: "Look, you have the ability to travel through all the worlds, but you are so cautious at such a young age."

"I'm curious, how do you resist pushing this world forward?"

Xiao Wu thought for a while before she spoke slowly, "After seeing so many small worlds, I finally realized that rapid development actually has both advantages and disadvantages..."

"It should be said that any change or no change has both advantages and disadvantages..."

"For example, the snacks and tea in this small world are certainly not as delicious as those on Earth and in the Tianwu Spacetime, but the people of this world don't think there's anything wrong with it. They enjoy it..."

"If that's the case, then why should I change him?"

My father-in-law smiled and nodded frequently throughout the whole process.

Xiao Wu finished expressing her opinion and couldn't help but ask him, "You've traveled through countless worlds, constantly experimenting, but haven't you ever developed a small world that left you with no regrets?"

The old man nodded and shook his head: "As you said, any change or no change has its pros and cons."

"How can I use my own judgment as a criterion to judge whether this small world is developing well or not?"

"I can only use my current knowledge and abilities as the standard to demand that I do my best."

"This is enough……"

Xiao Wu understood what he said and nodded: "Why did you choose my mother as the owner of the Space-Time Supermarket Trading System?"

The old man looked at Xiao Wu and smiled again: "How can you say that I chose your mother?"

"Why didn't your family choose my path?"

"Aren't all choices two-way?"

“It’s just that some people make choices and then regret them.”

"Because they only want rights but don't want to take responsibility."

"Once they don't get what they want, they curse, blame, and feel resentful..."

"Others, however, understand that power and responsibility are relative. They also know that regret is useless, so they choose to reflect and reconsider while moving forward..."

"In the dark, there is God's will."

"You said, yeah?"

Xiao Wu didn't respond.

Her father-in-law's words were too profound and she needed time to digest them.

When she came to her senses and wanted to speak, she was shocked to find that her father-in-law had disappeared quietly.

Only the half-empty pot of tea and a few missing snacks reminded her: everything that just happened wasn't a dream, her father-in-law had really been here...

She naively put the snacks and tea into the space, but was shocked to find that the storage space had evolved!

A small piece of land suddenly appeared in the space, and on the ground there was a small spring. In the spring, two small fish, one black and one white, were swimming happily...

She stood up in shock and bowed solemnly to the mountains and the river: "Thank you, Emperor Huang, for your kindness!"
