Chapter 222: Chapter 31: Heroes arise among us in a turbulent world, once entering Jianghu time flies by (Not splitting the Chapter, won’t you offer monthly votes?)At this moment, the 18-year-old Xu Shu (Zuo Chang’an) sat in a luxurious guest carriage pulled by eight tall horses, reflecting on his experiences over the past eighteen years, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
His mother, Luoning, had begun clandestinely spreading the concept that every person under heaven could become a sage, planting seeds of faith among the common people, as early as fourteen years ago, after officially assuming the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Thus, once she ascended to the position of Grandmaster, with her solid foundation and momentous influence, it took merely three years to induce earth-shattering changes throughout Tang Country.
Although there were still many dissenting voices, those were merely the cries of those whose interests were harmed. The true common folks, who reaped the benefits, who would oppose them?
He who won the hearts of the people owned the world.
Even Xu Shu himself could only marvel at the sheer scale of a true leading lady.
Truly, it was heavenly defiance indeed!
Could this really be the work of a mere mortal?
Of course, to Xu Shu, this was actually of no significance.
The real issue was that,
in this world, he had lived in Chang’an City for eighteen years and had faced smooth sailing throughout.
Moreover, with such a powerful mother, not to mention danger, he hadn’t even encountered any significant challenges.
After all, Luoning was human, even if a remarkable one. She might have been a strict educator, but she had also provided more than enough care and love towards Xu Shu, her only relative by blood in the world.
Yet Xu Shu was not quite satisfied.
Life had been too comfortable. His days were spent either studying the classics or practicing riding and martial arts under the meticulous care of his aunties, maintaining his vitality!
At this rate, living an unremarkable life, he guessed that his legendary rewards would be of the lowest tier.
Although the legend had only begun as a means to avoid assassination by an earl, with little expectation at the start,
if there was a chance to pursue better rewards, Xu Shu still desired to seek them, after all, he possessed a Purple Fate Chart. Just one "Heavenly Defiance" entry would guarantee him an epic reward—a yet-to-be-determined path to a "Mark Altar."
This was a crucial item Xu Shu needed to acquire an epic mark.
How could he not be anxious?
Fortunately, after reaching adulthood, Xu Shu’s tranquil life saw a slight change.
Watching the image of the carriage traveling through the frost-kissed, red-leafed forest, thinking of his destination, Xu Shu felt a surge of fighting spirit. He smacked the plump white leg of the beauty next to him with force, reddening the area at the base of her leg, eliciting a gasp.
"Y-Young Master, please be gentle~"
