Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 237 Suppression of Yi Xiaochuan and the Arrival of Fusu
Yi Xiaochuan is too lucky. He was born into the upper class, never had to worry about food or clothing, and could easily pick up girls.

Arriving in ancient times, he was even luckier, as he encountered only nobles who all did their best to help him.

Xiang Yu, Meng Tian, ​​and all the beautiful women were wholeheartedly devoted to helping him.

He received nothing but love, and having grown accustomed to being loved, he took it all for granted and subconsciously overlooked their sacrifices.

On the contrary, he took his sycophantic nature to the extreme when it came to Liu Bang, who had been hurting him all along.

He developed feelings for Lü Zhi, Lü Su, Xiao Yue, and Yu Shu in succession, but always remained ambiguous, flirting with them without ever marrying them.

He accepted Lü Su's sacrifice but did not truly love her; he took the sacrifices of other women for granted, yet still insisted on the so-called one true love.

He remained obsessed with Yu Shu, whom he loved but could not have, yet he ignored all the women right in front of him.

Isn't it true that what you can't have always stirs your heart?
What are you pretending for?

If he really started a harem and accepted them all, Chen Hong would respect him as a lecherous devil.

Playing the field and being ambiguous is just being an emotional vampire, isn't it?

They're keeping people hanging on, absorbing their resources and efforts.

Chen Hong had no liking for this hypocritical man with double standards and gave him a cold shoulder.

Gao Yao, unaware of what was going on, awkwardly tried to ease the tension.

"Haha, everyone, let's drink, let's drink."

After having a few drinks, Gao Yao asked:
"Xiao Chuan, where have you been for the past three years?"

"I searched for you everywhere, inquired about your whereabouts everywhere, but there was no news at all."

Yi Xiaochuan began to speak with great interest: "Hey, Lao Gao, you'd never guess what I went through or who I met."

"Who?"

"Xiang Yu! Liu Bang!" Yi Xiaochuan proudly introduced, "They were both my sworn brothers."

"Xiang Yu? Liu Bang? Who are they?" Gao Yao tilted his head and looked at Yi Xiaochuan with a clear expression.

Yi Xiaochuan's sense of satisfaction immediately diminished. He was showing off, but where was the person opposite him?

It's frustrating that he can't even understand your pretentious act.

"Seriously, Lao Gao, are you really that illiterate?"

"Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu! The famous King Xiang in history."

"Farewell My Concubine, the most famous play, you've surely heard of it, right?"

Gao Yao scratched his head. "It seems... I have a vague recollection of it."

“That’s right.” Yi Xiaochuan slapped his thigh. “Xiang Yu and I will become sworn brothers.”

I even recorded a video! If this were released in the future, my likes and followers would skyrocket, and countless people would be envious and jealous. I'd become a celebrity overnight!

Now you know how awesome I am!

"Um...I don't know."

Gao shook his head vigorously, completely oblivious to what was so impressive about him.

Yi Xiaochuan was so angry that he cursed, "Forget it, you're illiterate, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

Gao Yao suddenly snapped back to reality: "Wait, the video?"

"Hey kid, you brought your phone with you, didn't you?"

"Hey...look what this is?"

Yi Xiaochuan took out a handmade box, opened it, and found a touchscreen phone inside.

"Here, I'll open it for you to see."

Yi Xiaochuan showed Gao Yao a video of him, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang becoming sworn brothers.

Gao Yao, however, was completely unfazed: "It's nothing."

"What Xiang Yu, what Liu Bang, they were just ordinary people."

Oh, Xiang Yu is quite handsome.

But this Liu Bang...

He looks like a pointed-nosed rat, with a cunning and treacherous face; he's horribly ugly.

He doesn't look like a good person at all.

Yi Xiaochuan got angry, "Old Gao, I've discovered you're a complete history idiot."

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

This is far more powerful than Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was at best a loser who committed suicide at the Wujiang River; he was no match for Liu Bang at all.

Oh, and the label of "tragic hero" adds to his fame.

Gao Yao shook his head vigorously, "I still think Liu Bang wasn't a good person; he had the look of a treacherous villain."

Yi Xiaochuan was furious, feeling like he was talking to a brick wall.

So he turned to Chen Hong and asked, "Hey, do you know Liu Bang?"

Chen Hongli ignored him and continued drinking with Cui Wenzi.

"drink!"

"drink!"

"Brother Dao, you truly capture the essence of the Drunken Immortal."

"Brother Dao, you are not bad either. I, Cui Wenzi, have drunk with countless people, but you are the one who understands the true essence of wine the best."

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

The two of them drank another glass.

"Tch, another drunkard."

Yi Xiaochuan scoffed, "True, what could a security guard possibly know?"

"Probably another illiterate idiot."

"Ok?"

Chen Hong's gaze was like lightning, suddenly fixed on Yi Xiaochuan, making him feel a chill run down his spine and his skin feel like it was about to explode.

"What...what? You're not convinced?"

Yi Xiaochuan mustered his courage, straightened his back, and glared back.

Why would a young master like myself be afraid of a security guard?
"Paws!"

Chen Hong suddenly spoke up.

Yi Xiaochuan scoffed: "You think you can just slap someone whenever you want? Who do you think you are?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xiaochuan's hand reached out uncontrollably and slowly slapped his own cheek.

Yi Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, but his hands were out of his control.

Snapped!
He slapped her hard across the face.

Yi Xiaochuan was filled with shame and indignation. "What did you do?" "Stop right now!"

"I order you to stop!"

Snapped!
Another slap landed on his face.

clap clap clap!
An invisible force pressed down on Yi Xiaochuan, making him slap himself in the face.

Why can't I control my hands?

"You monster..."

Before he could finish speaking, another "slap" rang out as a hand landed.

"Gao Yao, please help me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hong snapped, "Shut up!"

"Your Majesty!"

Yi Xiaochuan immediately shut his mouth without thinking.

Then he slowly knelt down.

Yi Xiaochuan struggled desperately, but he couldn't shake off the invisible, powerful force.

Chen Hong's telekinetic powers suppressed everything about him.

Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.

The commotion attracted onlookers, who began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Cui Wenzi glanced at the aggrieved Yi Xiaochuan kneeling on the ground, then continued drinking drunkenly, without rashly stepping forward.

He had long seen through what kind of person Yi Xiaochuan was.

On the other hand, Chen Hong was still somewhat unable to see through him.

But it's also clear that Chen Hong is not someone to be trifled with.

As a reclusive master who wanders the world and has seen countless people, he deeply understands the way of self-preservation.

There are some things that don't need to be insisted upon.

Every drink and every bite has its consequences.

There's no need to forcibly interfere with how things work; otherwise, you'll only bring disaster upon yourself and end up changing nothing.

Cui Wenzi decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

Gao Yao, however, felt a pang of pity and pleaded with Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, Xiao Chuan is a straightforward and outspoken person, but he doesn't actually have any bad intentions."

Just forgive him."

"Uh-huh……"

Yi Xiaochuan grumbled excitedly at Gao Yao, as if to say, "You don't need to beg for mercy. I'm a tough guy and I won't submit to this kind of rude and arrogant power."

However, Chen Hong's mere thought was enough to bend Yi Xiaochuan's spine.

He banged his head against the ground, his forehead hitting the ground.

Yi Xiaochuan struggled desperately, buzzing like a fly, seemingly cursing, but no sound came out.

This feeling is too uncomfortable.

He was completely controlled and dominated by Chen Hong, and couldn't even speak.

Outside the tavern, a young nobleman and a middle-aged bearded man were talking.

"General Meng Tian, ​​recently my father and I discovered a prodigy from Dang County."

He single-handedly cured the plague that was spreading throughout the county, stopped its spread in time, and saved the lives of countless people.

Otherwise, countless people would have died from the plague.

After achieving his goals, he resigned his post and left without clinging to power. Such character is truly noble and virtuous, surpassing even that of Fusu.

"My lord, I have also heard about it." Meng Tian's face showed a hint of admiration. "That righteous and virtuous man retired after achieving his goal and left without a trace."

In Dang County, everyone, from commoners to officials and nobles, held him in high esteem.

I heard that His Majesty the Emperor even issued a special edict to recruit him?

“That’s right.” Fusu nodded, then sighed, “It’s a pity that by the time Father’s edict of conscription reached Dang County, that righteous man was no longer there.”

"According to the governor of Dang County, they went to Xianyang with the local powerful family, the Lü family."

However, Xianyang was vast, and Fusu did not know where they were or whether they had arrived.

I can't wait to meet him and ask him for advice.

“Young master, there’s no need to regret it. Since you’ve come all the way to Xianyang, you’ll see him sooner or later,” Meng Tian comforted him.

Just then, the two passed by a restaurant and were attracted by its lively atmosphere.

"Young Master Fusu, it seems something has happened inside."

"General Meng Tian, ​​it seems there's going to be some fun to see."

Prince Fusu chuckled, "Let's go in and see what's going on."

Several servants immediately stepped forward to clear the way.

"Make way, make way!"

He was pushed through the crowd of onlookers to make way for them.

A young man dressed in Confucian robes and a middle-aged man dressed as a martial artist walked in.

No one recognized him as the current emperor's son.

When Fusu saw that Yi Xiaochuan seemed to be forced to kneel on the ground, he frowned.

"Young master, why do you resort to force to bully others?"

"Me, bullying others with force?" Chen Hong laughed.

"Such a heartless, ungrateful, and inhumane person, does he even deserve to be called a human being?"

"Oh?" Fusu became interested. "I'd like to hear how this person can be so heartless, ruthless, and cruel."

"Let him go and let him speak. The two of you can confront each other face to face so that everyone can distinguish right from wrong."

"Alright!" Chen Hong waved his hand, and the power suppressing Yi Xiaochuan disappeared. "Let everyone see for themselves."

As soon as the power dissipated, Yi Xiaochuan got up and couldn't wait to speak:
"You bastard, what right do you have to slander someone's innocence?"
When have I ever been heartless, ruthless, or cruel?

That's utter nonsense.

"I'm asking you, what is your relationship with this person?"

Chen Hong pointed at Gao Yao and asked.

"He is my good brother Gao Yao, who has gone through thick and thin with me. We are the only relatives left in this world who can still talk to each other."

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Gao Yao with what he thought was affection, as if Gao Yao were truly his family and very important to him.

“Xiao Chuan…” Gao Yao’s eyes were filled with tears. He felt deeply moved to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

Chen Hong laughed, a laugh that made Yi Xiaochuan feel a little uneasy.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you laughing at?"
