Ye Diling: This life is dedicated to it.
Ye Bai: Then let's get started!
When it comes to slacking off, we're their ancestors!
Since Ye Diling had decided to give up, Ye Bai stopped trying to persuade her after several unsuccessful attempts.
He could tell that Ye Diling was on the right path.
In this life, I experience all aspects of human life, taste the joys and sorrows, rise and fall, and struggle through the mortal world...
Visiting the mortal world, I drunkenly say I envy no immortals.
This is Ye Diling's destiny, and his only chance to 'come back to life'.
Without Xiaoyao's words, no matter how much Ye Diling understood life, he would never have had such an opportunity.
Ye Diling began his studies at the age of 6, became a student at the age of 9, and a scholar at the age of 12. Then he soared to great heights, winning the top three honors in the imperial examinations. Before he even reached adulthood, he was listed as the top scholar in the Chu Dynasty.
At the banquet, Ye Diling pretended to be unable to hold his liquor and hid behind a screen to take a nap.
Having been handpicked as the top scholar, his first thought was to share the news with the dream master.
Ye Diling rushed back to the dream world with great enthusiasm, even bringing a pot of wine with him.
"Dream Master, I've won!"
"It's just a top scholar, why are you so happy?"
Ye Bai sighed, took a sip of bitter wine, and joked,
“Earth Spirit, you were an emperor in your past life. Even if you don’t practice martial arts, you should at least try to be more ambitious in this life, right?”
Ye Diling's self-criticism of his martial arts does not mean that he should live a muddled and aimless life.
That would be a waste of this opportunity.
Especially with the help of the "Abolition of Martial Arts Order," Ye Diling was able to unleash his full potential in the imperial court.
Ye Diling chuckled, bowed, and sat down on the ground, facing Ye Bai.
"Master Dreamer, please try this wine. It was bestowed upon you by the Emperor."
Ye Bai took the wine pot, took a sip,
"generally."
He casually stuffed the flask into his pocket and then took out a bottle of fine wine from the Wolf's Den.
"Try this. A junior named Xue Meng gave it to me. This is truly fine wine!"
Ye Diling respectfully accepted the wine bottle, poured a small cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
His expression was somewhat blank as he weakly spoke.
"Master, I can't taste anything."
As a simulated beast of burden in a world of fantasy, wine from reality cannot...
Ye Bai was silent for a moment, then began to deceive,
It's normal for young people not to appreciate strong liquor.
You haven't experienced the harsh realities of life yet, nor have you been treated like a beast of burden; you'll understand later.
Even though she knew the other party might be talking nonsense, Ye Diling still bowed respectfully.
"Students are being educated."
After becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination, Ye Diling entered the Hanlin Academy to study and organize historical materials from the previous dynasty. He became engaged to the daughter of the Minister of Rites and they married the following year.
At the wedding, Ye Diling insisted on setting up an extra empty chair so that he and his wife could bow to it again.
At the age of 21, Ye Diling was appointed as the Prefectural Governor of Gufang Prefecture.
At the age of 22, Ye Diling was demoted to the right...
After becoming the top scholar, Ye Diling's career was incredibly smooth, even reaching the terrifying speed of being promoted three times in a single year!
In less than ten years, Ye Diling successfully entered the cabinet and became one of the most powerful people in the court!
At this time, he was not yet thirty years old, and his purple and gold robes made him stand out in the court.
Just as Ye Diling was basking in his success, the emperor died, the young emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager ruled from behind a screen, and eunuchs took control of the government, effectively sidelining the cabinet...
Soon, Ye Diling was banished from the capital for stepping into the palace with his left foot first, and the emperor decreed that he would never be employed again.
At this time, he had just turned thirty-five, in the prime of his life, a time when he should have been making great strides, but he was ruthlessly laid off.
Even a wealthy person in the deep mountains will have distant relatives; a poor person in the bustling city will be ignored.
Having escaped the troubles of the world, Ye Diling, now retired at home, began to let loose and be herself.
His early life was conventional; although he lived like an ordinary person, there was a certain deliberate element to it.
Ye Diling, free-spirited and with plenty of money and leisure time, began to wander the world.
He spent fifteen years traveling across half the country, beginning to write travelogues about mountains and rivers.
Just as Ye Diling was about to put down his pen, he received an imperial edict from the court, ordering him to return to the capital and serve as the Grand Secretary.
With eunuchs in power and the emperor incompetent, the country had been in a mess for many years.
Like a firefighter putting out a fire, Ye Diling had no choice but to put down his pen, put on his purple-gold robe again, and rush to the imperial court.
He held the position of Grand Secretary for sixty years!
Ye Diling never expected that his naturally strong physique would allow him to outlive four emperors and become a veteran of five dynasties.
He held a high position of power and influence, and even the emperor had to address him as "Grandpa Ye".
After writing 767 resignation letters requesting retirement, the emperor finally allowed Ye Diling to return home to live out his days.
At this moment, Ye Diling had reached the end of his life and was about to die.
On this day
He was lying on his sickbed when suddenly someone appeared beside him.
This was the first time Ye Diling had encountered a Dream Master outside of her dream world.
"Dream Master..."
Lying on his sickbed, the aged Ye Diling's face was full of wrinkles, and his lips moved slightly.
"La, la. la..."
Ye Bai said irritably,
"What the hell are you doing singing here!"
"Cough cough."
Ye Diling coughed twice, and his spirits improved. He felt lighter and more energetic, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death. He was even able to speak in complete sentences.
He propped himself up, tears streaming down his face, and said with a wry smile,
"Spicy, such spicy liquor."
He finally understands the taste of that strong liquor he tasted a hundred years ago.
It's spicy, really spicy.
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
