But as more and more people started talking about this, everyone gradually began to believe it.

So there really are fairies in this world?

Even the emperor would kneel down and bow to the immortals.

If one can cut off one's life span, can one also grant it?

Don't doubt what a crazy person can do.

When the news of the existence of immortals spread, the entire Jinling City began a frenzy of searching for immortals.

Almost everyone in the city was searching for Lu Xiao.

These people hope that the immortals will grant them wealth and honor.

Some people want to ask the immortals to grant them supreme magical powers.

There are also those who hope to be granted immortality by the immortals.

And this craze, as the news spread, began to spread further.

It spread to other major cities and other countries.

Of course, this is all afterthought.

As for Lu Xiao, the protagonist of this incident, he was currently in Gong Yu's house, instructing a few people on their cultivation while waiting for the arrival of the guest Yi...

Chapter 324 Confession

Inside the house, Lu Xiao and Mei Changsu played chess.

The two of them had been like this for more than two hours.

During these two hours, neither of them spoke.

Lose the game, restart, lose the game, restart

This is what Mei Changsu has been experiencing.

To be honest, this one-sided bullying situation is really meaningless.

Finally, Lu Xiao couldn't help himself and asked directly.

"Are you okay? If not, go back quickly. Your mind isn't focused on playing chess. Why are you here?"

Mei Changsu's chess skills are actually quite good, not that bad.

After hearing this, Mei Changsu threw the chess piece in his hand and then spoke.

"I don't know what to say. Are you really an immortal? Are you still you?"

Honestly, this guy's intuition is terrifyingly sharp.

He immediately asked the most crucial question: "One, One, Three".

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Of course I am me. As for the story of immortals, that's just something I used to scare old Emperor Liang. There are no immortals in this world."

"This world?" Mei Changsu asked doubtfully.

Lu Xiao said, "Yes, the world isn't unique. There are other worlds outside of ours. Immortals do exist in other worlds, but not in ours."

"How do you know this?" Mei Changsu asked.

Lu Xiao said, "Because I was from another world in my previous life, you must have heard of reincarnation, right?"

Mei Changsu nodded.

Lu Xiao said, "My previous life was in a completely different world from this one. I died in an accident, so I was reincarnated here. However, something unexpected happened during my reincarnation, so I retained the memories of my previous life. It's been like this since the moment I was born."

With Lu Xiao's current strength, there was no need to hide this matter.

Mei Changsu said, "No wonder I felt something was different about you when you were little. So that's how it is. But how do you explain your current strength?"

Lu Xiao said, "That's a long story. Remember when I was in Langzhou, I said I had a strange adventure?"

Mei Changsu nodded: "Of course I remember."

Lu Xiao said, "I'm not lying. Because of my own uniqueness, I met a few friends from other worlds a while ago. Their abilities are truly immortal compared to our ordinary world. My strength is all thanks to them."

"Besides you, are there people from other worlds in this world?" Mei Changsu was shocked this time.

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I'm the only one, but there are many like me in the universe. Through some special means, people like us can communicate with each other and send each other gifts, but that's all. My original body can't go to other worlds, at least not yet."

Except for not saying that those so-called people from other worlds were actually himself, Lu Xiao basically said everything he could.

We've been friends for over a decade, so there's really no need to hide some things from him.

Besides, even if I said all this, it wouldn't cause any loss to Lu Xiao.

After a long while, Mei Changsu finally digested this overwhelming amount of information: "The world is so vast. I used to be a bit overwhelmed."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. You are the protagonist of this world and this era. Aside from being a little weak, you are actually quite good."

Mei Changsu ignored Lu Xiao's complaints and simply rolled his eyes before continuing to ask, "What protagonist of heaven and earth?"

Lu Xiao said, "In my previous life, the existence of the myriad worlds was no secret. Many people knew about it. In every world, at different times, there were different protagonists. These people were born with extraordinary missions, and only after they had fulfilled their mission would they leave the stage. And you are one of them."

Mei Changsu said, "I don't think I'm special in any way. Are you trying to comfort me?"

Lu Xiao said angrily, "I'm trying to comfort you, sir. If it weren't for you, why do you think I joined the Red Flame Army back then? It was to change the fate of you and the Red Flame Army. In the end, it didn't change your fate, and it almost cost me my life. I don't regret it, but this is fucking bullshit!"

"You, you, me, me"

Mei Changsu was completely speechless this time.

Lu Xiao continued, "Let's not talk about you and me anymore. Let me tell you this: my previous life was very special. So before I was reincarnated into this world, I knew the general direction of this world over the past hundred years. From the moment I was born, I knew the future fate of the Red Flame Army."

"So I tried everything I could to change the fate of the Red Flame Army. But my father, your father, my brother, Brother Xiao Yu, and you, all were more stubborn than the other. Your heads were full of the shackles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. No matter what I said, you wouldn't believe me. In the end, as fate would have it, it still happened. Sometimes I even think, 'What's wrong with me?' Why did I have to suffer this with you?"

After these words were spoken, a look of realization finally appeared on Mei Changsu's face.

"I see. You really did know that back then."

After all, he had already speculated about this, and now it was just confirmed. Although he had no idea about the process, the result was actually pretty much the same.

But then Mei Changsu had another question in his mind.

"Isn't it right to be loyal to the emperor and love one's country? You've never feared the imperial power since you were a child. I used to be confused by your unconventional behavior, but now I understand. Could it be that in your previous life, the concept of loyalty to the emperor and love for one's country simply didn't exist?"

Honestly, Mei Changsu couldn't imagine what kind of place it would be in a world without even this kind of concept.

Lu Xiao said, "I'm different? It's you ancients who are different, right? My hometown is at least five thousand years ahead of this world in terms of historical progress. We've long since discarded such outdated ideas as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

"Dregs!" Mei Changsu cried out subconsciously.

Lu Xiao nodded. "Yes, that's the dregs. The so-called loyalty to the emperor and love for the country, loyalty is nothing more than the emperor, and love is nothing more than the court. In my world, 1.0 also has similar ideas, but they are completely different from yours. We love the land under our feet and love every ordinary citizen. The world belongs to everyone, it has never been the private property of any one person."

"Although we still have positions similar to the emperor, from the highest ruler to the lowest official, their conduct must adhere to a core principle: any political action must be based on the principle of benefiting the people, even if it's just superficial. We must maintain our integrity."

After these words were spoken, Mei Changsu froze in his tracks.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of world that was.

The world belongs to all people, and similar sayings exist in this world as well.

But what kind of world can truly achieve this?

If this is achieved, the light in that world would be incredibly dazzling!

Chapter 325 Too Bad

After a long while, Mei Changsu couldn't help but say.

"Lu 1 Chess Yao 2 Master 8, wouldn't that be the legendary world of great harmony?"

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "Great Harmony isn't the goal, but that's also what the people in my world strive for."

"We govern the country according to law. Even high-ranking officials wouldn't dare openly violate the law. Take, for example, killing someone in the street. In today's world, if a child of a powerful individual kills someone in the street, as long as the person they killed isn't from the same powerful class, there's basically no consequences. At most, they'll have to pay some money. But in my place, even if you're a prime minister, even if you kill a beggar in the street, you'll be severely punished by law."

"Of course, I'm not saying that my past life was a good world. Even back then, there were plenty of injustices. But relatively speaking, my hometown is countless times better than this fucked-up world. The loss of 70,000 innocent lives in the Battle of Meiling would have been impossible back home. My hometown people have great respect for soldiers who defend their country. Even an ordinary soldier is a hero in the eyes of the people. That's why I feel sorry for these brothers who have dedicated their lives to Daliang."

Mei Chang Su said, "I now understand why you're like this. You're right. Your past life's world was indeed much better than ours. Even with just a few of your words, I can see it must have been an incredibly prosperous place. But no matter what, the land we both stand on now is Daliang. This won't change, so I'll stick to my own principles."

Lu Xiao said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to convince you. If I could, I would have succeeded long ago. I'm saying all this simply because I haven't mentioned my hometown in a while. I understand your philosophy, but I will also stick to my own. It's true that the land we stand on is Daliang, but I don't think it will remain unchanged. After all, it wasn't called Daliang hundreds of years ago. Don't you agree?"

At this moment, Mei Changsu panicked: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Xiao said, "Why do you care about me? You should just focus on your own business. I can only tell you that your time is running out. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will definitely lose."

As soon as these words came out, Mei Changsu felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.

Having seen Lu Xiao's strength, he naturally knew that if Lu Xiao wanted to do something now, no one could stop him.

Then he asked, "Will you kill the king directly?"

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "That's your Lord, not me. But I can tell you, I won't do it myself. Otherwise, he would be dead today."

Hearing this, Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.

Don't do it yourself.

Because if he did that, he wouldn't have any chance of winning.

Facing such a god-like power, any plan or strategy is futile.

Finally, Mei Changsu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take my leave now."

At this moment, Lu Xiao stopped him and said, "Wait, are you just leaving like this?"

Mei Changsu said, "All my doubts have been resolved. Why would I stay here?"

Lu Xiao said, "You've been sitting here for quite some time, and in the end, you're just asking me about my business. Why don't you ask about your own affairs? Do you really not take your own life seriously?"

Mei Changsu said, "I can guess that with your current abilities, you must have a way to help me get rid of the cold, but do I need to ask?"

"Don't you need it?" Lu Xiao asked.

Mei Changsu asked, "Will you watch me die?"

Of course not.

Lu Xiao knew this very well.

Although he didn't say it, Mei Changsu still knew it.

"You don't have to answer. I know you won't, so why should I bother asking again? You've always loved playing pranks, and you're so petty. I'm afraid you still remember the times I ruined your plans. So even if I tell you now, you won't heal me. You'll probably wait until I'm dying before you do anything. If I ask you this, I'm just asking for trouble. I won't give you the chance to show off in front of me. Anyway, I already know I'm not going to die. It's just a matter of waiting a little longer. What's the big deal? I've waited twelve years, so this little bit doesn't matter."

Mei Changsu spoke with confidence and without any embarrassment.

He looked as if he was sure to defeat Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was so angry.

I've said it before, you can't argue with this guy who's accusing me of something. You simply can't win.

To fight this guy, you have to take him by surprise.

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll see how long you can endure this. I'll wait for the day when you beg me. But don't leave so quickly. I have something else to tell you."

Mei Changsu finally gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

"What's up?"

Lu Xiao didn't answer directly, but instead shouted outside: "Tingsheng, come in."

After hearing his voice, Tingsheng walked in quickly.

By this time, he had changed into a new set of clothes, and he looked much more energetic.

Then Lu Xiao said, "I've accepted this child as my apprentice, but as you know, I have no experience raising children. Tingsheng grew up in Yeyou Court and doesn't even know a few words, let alone anything else. So I want you to give him some training. After he's finished, I'll teach him martial arts."

Mei Changsu looked at Tingsheng and felt a sense of familiarity.

However, he still said angrily: "Since I am your disciple, why do you need my enlightenment?"

Lu Xiao said, "Don't you have experience?"

Mei Changsu was unconvinced: "Where would I get the experience from?"

Lu Xiao said, "Fei Liu has been taught so well by you, yet you still claim to be inexperienced. Besides, Ting Sheng is still young, and his thoughts and personality are easily influenced by those close to him. I do have a somewhat impulsive personality, and while this may not be a big deal for me right now, if Ting Sheng learns this habit, it won't be good for his future. After all, not everyone can be like me."

"You're still aware of this problem?" Mei Changsu was furious. "You snatched someone from the palace in broad daylight, trampling on the royal family's reputation. Soon, Daliang will probably become the laughing stock of all nations. Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose. With the abilities you demonstrated today, it would be a piece of cake for you to quietly take this child away from the palace."

Lu Xiao said, "You're the worm in my stomach, aren't you? How could you guess this?"

Mei Changsu asked, "Do we even need to guess? Honestly, you're going too far. Even if you wanted to offend His Majesty, you didn't have to cut off ten years of his lifespan. He's already quite old. If your actions put him on death row, what will happen to my plans? You promised ahead of time that you wouldn't hinder them."

Lu Xiao said, "Don't worry. I was just trying to scare that old guy with the ten-year life span thing. I'm not a true immortal, so how could I possibly have that kind of ability?"
