Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

"We must protect Shi Yu's true identity and prevent him from becoming a target of the enemy."

Qin Hao said firmly, "At the same time, we must also see his potential; he can bring greater energy and motivation to the entire team."

Bai Chengming watched Shi Yu's receding figure and smiled as he said, "The justice and fairness that Shi Yu speaks of are not easily uttered. We should support him and let him exert his power in this world."

Qin Hao took a deep breath, his eyes resolute and devout. His brows furrowed slightly.

He was well aware of Shi Yu's value and fighting ability, and also knew that the more outstanding a person was, the more likely they were to become the focus of their rivals' competition (Qian's Zhao).

He knew that revealing Shi Yu's true identity now would only put him in greater trouble and danger.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Qin Hao decided to temporarily suspend his investigation into the mysterious force.

After all, Shi Yu is currently entangled with a mysterious force, and revealing his true identity too early would only bring him more unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Bai," Qin Hao turned to Bai Chengming and said, "I've decided to temporarily halt my investigation into the mysterious force."

Chapter 690 Could it be that Shi Yu has some special identity behind him?

Bai Chengming was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

“You’re right to do this. Our priority now is to protect Shi Yu and continuously improve our own strength.”

“That’s right, we can’t stop Shi Yu’s determination to pursue justice and fairness.”

"We need to provide him with a stable and safe environment."

Then, Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the entire Ascension Tower.

Amidst the bustling crowds and lively scenes, he deeply felt the responsibility he had shouldered.

He must protect Shi Yu's true identity so that he can act with peace of mind, while also recognizing his potential.

"We need to encourage Shi Yu to give full play to his strength."

Qin Hao turned to Bai Chengming and said, "Help him grow into a stronger warrior and stand out among the 807 enemies we face."

Su Yu's study is located deep within the Su Kingdom's royal palace, decorated with magnificent murals and luxurious furniture.

The study was quiet and solemn, reflecting Su Yu's authority and power as the Crown Prince.

At this moment, Su Yu sat behind her tall desk, smiling as she waited for Shi Yu's arrival.

Su Ge stood hesitantly beside Su Yu, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He had already heard of this name; many people spoke of Shi Yu's extraordinary courage and mysterious identity.

However, in his eyes, Shi Yu was just an ordinary person. Why did so many people value him so much?

"Go find Shi Yu and bring him here," Su Yu commanded softly.

Su Ge nodded in agreement and left the study.

He was puzzled by the meaning behind Su Yu's words.

Why would the Crown Prince personally meet with an ordinary person? Could it be that Shi Yu has some special identity behind him? This question has been troubling Su Ge and has made him increasingly curious.

A moment later, there was a knock at the door, and Su Ge strode to open it.

Shi Yu stood at the door, his gaze resolute and decisive.

"Your Highness," Shi Yu bowed deeply.

Su Yu smiled and nodded, gesturing for him to enter the study.

After entering the study, Shi Yu couldn't help but take in the magnificent furnishings.

He felt a slight nervousness, after all, the other party was the Crown Prince, whose status and position were vastly different from his own. Shi Yu entered Su Yu's study, and the scene before him astonished him.

Behind the tall desk, Su Yu sat with a serious expression, revealing his composure and authority as the crown prince.

At this moment, Shi Yu was filled with respect, and at the same time, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had become even greater.

Su Yu smiled as she looked at Shi Yu, hoping to persuade him to join her side.

"Shi Yu, I believe you've heard of the Ascension Pavilion, haven't you?" he said gently.

Shi Yu nodded: "Yes."

Su Yu continued, "Dengxian Tower has a history of hundreds of years and holds an important position in the martial arts world. As the Crown Prince, I am also one of the protectors of Dengxian Tower."

"Your Highness, what do you mean...?" Shi Yu asked, slightly puzzled.

"Exactly."

Su Yu nodded and explained, "The martial arts world and the imperial court are interdependent. We need to cooperate to protect the common people of the martial arts world and the people of the country from misfortune."

Shi Yu fell into deep thought.

He knew that he had always upheld the ideals of protecting the weak and upholding justice, and now that His Highness the Crown Prince had personally summoned him, it was clear that he hoped the Crown Prince would join the ranks of those who would protect the martial world and the imperial court.

"Your Highness, why did you seek me out?"

Chapter 691 I will walk my own path; I cannot be anyone's tool.

Shi Yu couldn't help but ask, his heart still filled with shock and disbelief.

Su Yu raised her head and looked at Shi Yu with a firm gaze: "Because you are different from others, your kindness and integrity make you stand out in the martial arts world. We need your strength to fight against Chen Tong and a mysterious force."

Shi Yu was shocked to hear this.

Chen Tong is a powerful and ruthless enemy, and this mysterious force strikes fear into the hearts of the entire martial arts world.

At this moment, standing before His Highness the Crown Prince, he realized that he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting both the martial world and the imperial court.

"Shi Yu, I know this decision wasn't easy."

Su Yu continued, "But I believe you have the ability to do this."

Su Yu stared at Shi Yu, trying to persuade him to become a pawn in the court, but he had no answer.

Shi Yu held a deep conviction in his heart: he could not become anyone's puppet.

"Your Highness, I am very grateful for your recognition and trust."

Shi Yu said firmly, "But I choose to walk my own path. I cannot be anyone's tool."

Su Yu remained silent for a moment, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Shi Yu, you don't understand reality."

He said gently, "The world is cruel and ruthless, and it's hard for one person to fight against it. But with me supporting you, you will have more opportunities."

Shi Yu immediately retorted: "Your Highness, I understand your intentions, but please believe that I can protect myself and the important people around me. As for those dangerous forces in the martial arts world, I will do my best to fight against them."

Su Yu was speechless; he had no way to deal with this stubborn and upright young man.

"Okay, Shi Yu."

Su Yu sighed softly, "Now that you've made your decision, please take good care of yourself and the people you care about. Chen Tong is not an easy enemy to deal with; you need to be prepared."

Shi Yu smiled slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will never give up easily. I will do my best to fight against those dangerous forces and protect the peace of the martial world."

Su Yu nodded, gradually realizing that Shi Yu's adherence to the code of honor in the martial arts world was not hypocritical.

"Shi Yu, if you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime," he said solemnly.

Shi Yu's eyes were firm as he bowed to Su Yu.

"Your Highness, thank you for your trust and support. I will definitely come to you if needed." Su Yu silently looked out the window, gazing at the vast sky.

He took a deep breath and decided to tell Shi Yu about his background and upbringing.

"Shi Yu, perhaps you don't understand me. Maybe you've always thought my life was easy, but in reality, it's not like that. My father is a cruel and scheming man. He pursues power and profit by any means necessary. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly unrelated.)"

..... . 0

In my childhood, he murdered my mother and sister to consolidate his position in the court.

A look of shock and anger flashed in Shi Yu's eyes. He couldn't understand why someone would be so cruel to the person closest to them.

Su Yu continued, "Back then, I was just a child, helplessly witnessing my father's brutality. To me, my father was like an inescapable shadow in the darkness. However, my second uncle became my hope."

"Light."

He stopped and gently stroked a small wooden jade rabbit on the table.

It was a gift from his second uncle, which symbolized hope and courage in his heart.

Chapter 692 In fact, I have another secret

“My second uncle gave me warmth and encouragement. He was strict with me and trained me, helping me become who I am today.”

Shi Yu listened quietly, deeply understanding the complex emotions in Su Yu's heart.

He wavered between hatred and understanding, a feeling he himself had experienced.

Su Yu continued, "Although I both hate and understand my father's cruel actions, and as the Crown Prince, I understand the importance of power and interests for survival, that doesn't mean I will act like my father to achieve my goals."

“Biao is fearless, Shi Yu. When you chose to refuse to become my pawn, it reminded me of my second uncle’s great and resolute back.”

At this point, Su Yu was filled with emotion.

He turned his gaze to the window again, as if he could see his second uncle waiting for him in the distance.

"Shi Yu, please trust your choice and uphold your beliefs in the code of honor in the martial world. I will not force you to become my tool, because I have known since childhood the evil consequences of being used. Now, when you face dangerous forces like Chen Tong..."

"Please remember one thing: we will all protect the peace and justice of this world."

Shi Yu remained silent, sensing the genuine emotions and warm care deep within Su Yu's heart.

Although they weren't friends, Shi Yu knew they shared a common goal.

Su Yu remained silent for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes revealing complex emotions.

He looked at Shi Yu with deep emotion and said, "Shi Yu, everything we have done for the benefit of the Immortal Jade Pavilion has not been easy."

His voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

Shi Yu was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Su Yu had mentioned the interests of the Immortal Jade Pavilion to him.

He stared at Su Yu, waiting for his explanation.

"Xianyu Pavilion is the legacy left to me by my family, my father, and my second uncle. This building was once inscribed with glory and loyalty, and it was also filled with trials of life and death." Su Yu said in a low voice.

Shi Yu began to understand.

The Immortal Jade Pavilion is not only a symbol of a powerful force, but also a repository of the history of heroic struggles and the rise and fall of dynasties.

"In order to protect the interests of the Immortal Jade Pavilion, we have to make many sacrifices and contributions."

Su Yu gazed out the window, "My father sacrificed so much for this. He even disregarded his own family. My second uncle also chose to leave the family because of this, leaving alone in this world..."

Shi Yu's heart was heavy. He sighed, "For power and profit, this is where human nature becomes truly twisted. I understand your second uncle's choice—to abandon the family and choose independence. He should trust the true voice of his heart."

"sound."

Su Yu nodded gently, "Yes, my second uncle is an upright and determined person. He told me that if one day I am unable to face the sacrifices and efforts I have made, then it is time to re-examine what I have been pursuing."

Shi Yu listened quietly, understanding the meaning behind those words.

Su Yu attempted to express his deepest thoughts on the price he had paid for the benefits of the Immortal Jade Pavilion. Su Yu quietly gazed at Shi 2.0, as if considering how to continue his topic.

He continued, "Shi Yu, my connection with the Immortal Jade Pavilion is not just because of family ties. In fact, I have another secret."

Shi Yu's heart stirred; the secret Su Yu had mentioned earlier made him even more curious about this young crown prince.

He gazed at Su Yu, waiting for him to continue.

Su Yu took a deep breath, seemingly having made up her mind.

Chapter 693 There is a special power called 'Star Power'

His gaze hardened: "Actually, I am not of royal blood. Ten years ago, a sudden coup took my father's life. When I was a child, I went into hiding due to special circumstances."

"This place has had its identity stolen."

Shi Yu frowned slightly after hearing these words.

Su Yu's sadness and anger made him feel a clear emotional fluctuation, but what confused and puzzled him even more was the meaning behind Su Yu's "special reason".

Shi Yu tentatively asked, "What is this 'special reason' you're referring to?"

Su Yu smiled slightly, picked up an old book from the desk, and handed it to Shi Yu.

He said, "Shi Yu, this is a secret manual I've collected for over 26 years. It records a mysterious legend. The legend tells of a special power called 'Star Power,' possessed by only a very few. Through this power, one can control..."
