Ying Zheng followed Ying Zichu's steps and slowly returned to where they lived. He did not tell his father that the tears on his face had not been wiped away yet. He just followed in a daze without missing a single step.
Chen Xuan just lay on Ying Zheng's head, feeling Ying Zheng's inner confusion.
Zheng boy, it looks like I have to teach you a lesson.
After thinking about it, Chen Xuan didn't care about anything else. He just closed his eyes and quietly followed Ying Zheng's steps.
Chen Xuan closed his eyes and looked at the beast armor in his mind, and the words on it changed again.
【National Destiny Mission

Degree of loss of luck: 10%
Time elapsed: 12 years
Reward: Unknown]
Isn't this asking me to urge Zheng to get the imperial seal? Is this beast armor trying to tell me that history cannot be changed? Or is it that while the big picture cannot be changed, the small details can be?
Chen Xuan didn’t know whether there was a so-called ferryman in the long river of history, but the only thing he was sure of was that this history seemed to have a person pushing it forward, and that person was him, Chen Xuan.
Who are you? How did a commoner like me catch your eye?
Chen Xuan knew that all this was beyond his control. The only thing he could do now was to follow this push, protect Ying Zheng's complete unification of China, and firmly embed the idea of "great unification" in the spirit of this land.
After all, Chen Xuan doesn't want to become a sinner of this land, even in a parallel world.
Time passed quietly. While Chen Xuan was thinking, Ying Zheng followed Ying Zichu to where they lived.
It was a somewhat low palace, somewhat similar to the bungalows of later generations, but more luxurious and extravagant than a bungalow.
Zhao Ji was waiting at the door early, and her face was full of heartache when she looked at Ying Zichu.
Ying Zichu was very happy. He stepped forward and shook Zhao Ji's hand, saying with a smile, "It's my fault for leaving you in that place and making you suffer."
Zhao Ji's eyes were filled with heartache, and her eyes turned red again. A tear slid down her cheeks: "How can I suffer at all? I just feel sorry for Zheng'er, I just feel sorry for Zheng'er..."
As he spoke, he began to sob again, which made people feel particularly distressed. Even Chen Xuan, who had a calm mind, couldn't help but feel a few ripples in his heart.
Chen Xuan couldn't understand why Zhao Ji, who loved Ying Zichu so much, would have an affair with Lao Ai after Ying Zichu's death. Why would Zhao Ji, who loved Ying Zheng so much, want to replace him with the child she conceived with Lao Ai in the future?
Chen Xuan didn't want to think about what happened in between. He only knew that if the world was going in this direction, then don't blame him for being cruel and burying Zhao Ji under Xianyang with his own hands.
Fortunately, this sad drama didn't last long, at least it ended when Chen Xuan was feeling a little sleepy.
After turning left and right again, Chen Xuan finally saw the so-called Lu Ling, also known as Lu Buwei.
Chen Xuan looked at the slightly wealthy guy in front of him and could not associate him with the person who would have great power in the future.
Ying Zichu did not let Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei greet each other, but directly asked Zhao Ji to take Ying Zheng back to his room to rest.
Lu Buwei still had a cheerful look on his face, at least he was cheerful before entering the room.
Ying Zichu's face looked somewhat grim under the candlelight. He looked at Lü Buwei, who was sitting upright, and shouted, "Lü Ling, did you know that Madam Qu died yesterday?!"
Lü Buwei's expression remained calm, and he stroked his beard, seemingly relaxed. He replied calmly, "Your Majesty, are you worried? A chess piece, big or small, is lost. What's the big deal? Your Majesty, just remember that after this incident, the King will never depose you from the throne."
Ying Zichu's face turned even paler. He had guessed that Lu Buwei had known for a long time that Madam Qu had been discovered, but he never imagined that as the future crown prince of Qin, he would actually be a pawn, or even a commodity, of this merchant!
However, Lu Buwei was still complacent, not realizing that Ying Zichu in front of him was already extremely wary of him. After all, he was just a "commodity"!
Ying Zheng was brought by Zhao Ji to a slightly small room. When he walked in, he saw a shelf piled with bamboo slips and a bronze sword hanging beside the bed. There was nothing else.
Chen Xuan felt a headache as he looked at this place full of wisdom. Fortunately, Ying Zheng was somewhat happy. Chen Xuan just endured it a little bit.
Zhao Ji touched Ying Zheng's head, looked at him tenderly, and said softly, "Zheng'er, are you tired? Take a rest quickly."
Ying Zheng nodded, looking particularly well-behaved. Zhao Ji stroked Ying Zheng's hair again, then closed the door and walked out.
Ying Zheng was stunned for a while, then slowly walked to the bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
Chen Xuan didn't try to comfort him. He just quietly floated down from Ying Zheng's head and lay on Ying Zheng's chest.
Time passed quietly. Chen Xuan didn't speak, and Ying Zheng didn't speak either. The room seemed to have reached silence at this moment.
"Chen Xuan, what kind of person will I become?" Ying Zheng still stared at the ceiling and asked Chen Xuan blankly.
Chen Xuan also opened his eyes and floated away from Ying Zheng's chest. He stared at Ying Zheng's eyes as he looked towards the roof and said, "What kind of person do you want to be?"
"I don't know." Ying Zheng shook his head. He was a little confused now.
"Who do you think is better, your father or your grandfather?" Chen Xuan asked softly, still staring at Ying Zheng.
"I don't know." Ying Zheng still shook his head.
"You are the Lord, the future ruler of this land." Chen Xuan floated before Ying Zheng's eyes, casting his image into his pupils. "You must have the ambition to dominate the world, and a heart that can accommodate the four seas."
"Zheng, you must remember that you are the one I favor. No matter what kind of person you become, I will support you. However, you must know that this land of China is destined to be ruled by you."
"It can only be me?" Ying Zheng seemed even more confused.
"It can only be you. In this era, no one other than you is qualified to unify this land of God."
Ying Zheng's clear eyes were filled with doubts. He was particularly puzzled as to why he had to be the one to unify this land.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan, as if he wanted him to give him a very reasonable explanation. It was like an inquiry, but more like a trust.
"Because, you are the one I have my eyes on." Chen Xuan's eyes softened and fell on Ying Zheng again. "Because of me, you will become the greatest figure in this land."
"Zheng boy, I'm sorry. It's not because of me that you became the greatest man in this land. On the contrary, it's precisely because I set my sights on you that I might become the most glorious one in the nation's destiny!"
