Twenty years have passed since the well-known downfall of the powerful families and the downfall of the treacherous minister.

Over these twenty years, the dynasty's national strength increased year by year.

Even after experiencing two large-scale natural disasters, it successfully weathered them thanks to a sound and transparent mechanism.

Although the northern lands were restless, the dynasty had the arrangements made back then, as well as the support of several grandmasters.

The northern region harbored its own ideas, but never dared to take action.

However, recently intelligence has come in that the old man is preparing to unite the Southern and Western territories, launching a three-way attack to seize the dynasty.

As the emperor, he wasn't too worried about this.

The woman walked barefoot to a small room to the side. The whole room was very quiet and elegant, with the style of a woman's boudoir.

However, there was a portrait of a man hanging on the wall.

"To this day I still can't understand why you chose to leave me that night."

"Pei Yichen, will I ever see you again in this lifetime?"

Jiang Li raised her hand to touch the face in the portrait, recalling that night, her heart still aching.

Time seems to have left no trace on her.

She looks a bit more mature, but that makes her seem more elegant.

Compared to the girl she was twenty years ago, Jiang Li now exudes an aura of authority.

Now, she is a Grandmaster, just like Pei Yichen was twenty years ago.

Using the insights left behind by Pei Yichen, Jiang Li cultivated several more grandmasters within the dynasty.

Today, the dynasty is thriving.

Jiang Li, however, missed the vicious Right Chancellor who had been cursed for twenty years even more.

Chapter 37 It's only a matter of time before he appears before you.

According to Pei Yichen's original plan, capable commoners would have the opportunity to be ennobled and appointed as prime ministers, while ordinary people could live and work in peace and contentment.

Now, Jiang Li is clearing obstacles step by step towards this goal.

Grandmasters are almost always long-lived.

This means she can remain in power for many years; she is fully capable of realizing Pei Yichen's vision.

As the dynasty grew stronger, Jiang Li increasingly wanted to escape the throne.

As Jiang Li was lost in her memories, a black crow flew through the sealed window and landed straight in front of her.

Jiang Li and Crow exchanged a glance. "According to the area you mentioned, my men haven't found any clues."

"rest assured.

Since the celestial signs have shifted, it proves he has returned.

The crow flapped its wings and turned into a puff of smoke.

A girl of similar build to Jiang Li stood in place.

"More than ten years ago, you asked me to burn his body."

I did as instructed.

All these years, I've been waiting for that moment you spoke of.

If I find out you're lying to me, you should know what will happen.

Jiang Li stared intently at the girl in front of her.

Back then, heartbroken and disillusioned, she defied all opposition and searched for many secret methods in the world to preserve Pei Yichen's body intact for several years.

It wasn't until this girl appeared that Jiang Li chose to burn the body and bury it in a feng shui treasure land near the capital.

"Do not worry.

Finding and confirming his identity is only a matter of time.

The girl turned around and sat on Jiang Li's bed.

They didn't consider themselves outsiders at all.

"I want the real person, not just someone who looks like them."

Jiang Li stared intently at the girl.

Even though she had become a grandmaster, she still couldn't guard against some of the girl's tricks.

"Those who return will most likely not look like them."

But the soul is the same.

So it must be him.

The girl reached out to pick up the pastries on the bedside table, but Jiang Li stabbed her with a sword.

This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

It pierced directly through the girl's palm.

The girl's hand seemed to be nothing at all, and she simply withdrew it.

"How stingy! He won't even let me have a pastry."

"The others are fine, but this one won't."

Even now, I still don't understand why you helped me.

Don't tell me you have no purpose at all.

Jiang Li asked in a low voice. She had thought about this question for a long time and had tried to probe it many times.

But each time, the other party would evade the question.

"Of course I have a purpose, but why should I tell you?"

All you need to know is that I have absolutely no interest in you, or in your dynasty.

As for the rise and fall of this world, it has nothing to do with me.

If you can't wait, you can increase the intensity of the search.

Your fate is not over. Whether you look for him or not, he will definitely appear in front of you again.

This place is really boring, I'm leaving.

A gray mist flashed around the girl's body, and when the mist dissipated, only a crow's feather remained on Jiang Li's bed.

The girl appeared without a trace and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Li had tried to find the other party's whereabouts, but each time she failed.

"This world seems to be more complex than I imagined."

fair enough.

Perhaps, as she said, we will meet again someday.

Inside the capital city, in the mansion of a wealthy merchant.

“The spiritual energy in the world is becoming increasingly scarce, and even such simple techniques are difficult to sustain. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to my old ways.”

Unfortunately, whether I manipulate spiritual or demonic energy, there will be no one to guide me anymore.

The girl gave a self-deprecating laugh.

She helped Jiang Li, naturally with her own purpose.

If Jiang Li can successfully find that person, it will prove that her theory is correct.

The moment she had waited for a thousand years.

There may still be a glimmer of hope.

"She was really lucky; in just twenty years, that person came back."

Moreover, judging from this divination, their reunion is not far off.

That's great!

……

Su Chen slept for a full day and night.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already morning a day later.

Ah~~

Hungry!"

Su Chen rummaged through drawers and cabinets, found two pancakes, ate them, and only then did she feel a little better.

"It seems like I've gained some new memories in my head?"

Su Chen frowned and slowly recalled, and surprisingly remembered many things.

Divination, swordsmanship, military leadership, intelligence gathering...

This……

The cheat finally worked?

Su Chen's memories were both complete and fragmented.

What I remember is the specific details of each skill; everything else is vague.

However, the amount of information was too large, and Su Chen needed to recall it purposefully in order to remember it completely.

"Now I won't starve, I can even live a good life."

Su Chen glanced around his room; it was practically bare, if not completely destitute.

With the memories of these skills, he finally had the means to make a living in this world.

"Luckily, this house is mine, otherwise I would have to pay rent."
