Chapter 182: Do you regret it?
Su Zhenzhen sensed something unusual in the tone, "What has Jiang Sijin done now?"
Old Bai sighed helplessly, "About seven or eight days ago, Chunzhi sent someone to Shanxian County to say that the princess had gone missing and to see if she had run off here. Every day, aren't they afraid of being set up by someone?"
This clearly suggests that Jiang Sijin conspired with Song Anbang, ultimately giving him an opportunity to kidnap Hensheng during their wedding.
Old Bai was one of our own, and we never deliberately kept any information from him.
Having experienced so much, Su Zhenzhen has matured considerably and can't tell whether Old Man Bai is just chatting idly or has something more to say.
Has Jiang Sijin ever been to Shanxian County?
"Anyway, I didn't see her." The old man was already kneading the noodles.
The wheat grown in Bianzhou and Shanxian is the genetically optimized wheat that Su Zhenzhen bought from the system store. It not only has a high flour yield, but also leaves a lot of seeds after maturity.
Noodles have become a staple food for almost every household.
After putting the lid on the pot, the old man added more firewood and said something as if he were sighing.
"Hensheng lost his mother at a young age. Although the princess has a temper, she is still a blood relative. They are family, and no matter what, they are bound by blood. Relatives can help each other out."
Su Zhenzhen understood; Old Man Bai was leaving Hensheng a way out.
Hensheng was destined to ascend to the supreme position, a position that was too lonely, and Hensheng was born at the time when his biological parents were dying.
Many people sacrificed their lives in order to save him.
Although Jiang Sijin can be quite annoying at times and isn't exactly polite to Hensheng, she genuinely has no intention of harming him.
She was, after all, Hensheng's only family.
Although Hensheng had previously wanted to marry him, in Old Man Bai's view, it was probably just a temporary measure.
He didn't believe he could stay with Hensheng until the end.
Su Zhenzhen remained silent, wondering where Jiang Sijin could possibly have gone. Shanxian County was the most likely place she would come to; if she did, she would definitely try to make her presence known to Old Man Bai and put on airs like a princess.
So, could it be that she's gotten involved with Song Anbang again?
Steam rose from the stove. The old man touched the pot lid and scooped out the noodles.
A simple bowl of clear soup noodles was placed in front of Su Zhenzhen, and the green vegetable leaves floating on the soup made her mouth water.
Su Zhenzhen picked up the bowl and started eating directly, her demeanor innocent yet her movements graceful.
If Old Man Bai hadn't witnessed her ability to summon spirits, he would probably have mistaken her for the girl next door based on the current situation.
After finishing her bowl of noodles, Su Zhenzhen pressed the pause button on her brain.
The current situation is like a tangled mess, impossible to sort out.
Unfortunately, I'm still caught up in it.
"Miss Su, would you like another bowl?" Old Man Bai saw Su Zhenzhen staring blankly and assumed she wasn't full, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Su Zhenzhen handed over the empty bowl in her hand.
Since arriving in this randomly generated alternate era, hatred is like an unsolvable riddle, Jiang Sijin seems to be seriously ill, Song Anbang is a dangerous element, and Chunzhi has a bad temper...
Each NPC has a distinct personality.
Only the old man with white hair, just like the old grandfather next door, always had an inexplicable and inexplicable kindness towards the younger generation.
Such a person doesn't have great ambitions; they just want to survive in this chaotic world. If they have any selfish desires, it's simply that they want the people around them to live peacefully and happily.
Old Man Bai took the empty bowl and scooped up all the broth from the pot.
Su Zhenzhen was like a robot following specific instructions; as soon as her mouth touched the rim of the bowl, she began to swallow mechanically.
It wasn't until she felt a bloating sensation in her stomach that Su Zhenzhen felt like she had come back to life.
On such a cold day, being able to eat a bowl of hot clear soup noodles is truly a heartwarming thing.
Although she's not particularly afraid of the cold.
With a comfortable burp, Su Zhenzhen handed the bowl and chopsticks to Old Man Bai and prepared to go to Jiang Sijin's bed for a good night's sleep.
“Miss Su,” Old Man Bai suddenly called out to Su Zhenzhen, “The most important thing in life is to eat. It doesn’t matter whether you cook the food yourself or someone else cooks it. The most important thing is the result. As long as you eat it, it’s good.”
Su Zhenzhen paused, her foot just lifted, when suddenly a thought struck her.
If everyone I meet is a specific NPC, then after the Hu brothers' incident, I gained the ability to see other people's past and present lives in my sea of consciousness, and after Li Xuanji, I glimpsed that creation legend.
Each NPC has a role to inspire you.
What is the role of the old man in white?
Why did I choose this moment, this time of utter confusion, to return to Shanxian alone instead of going back to Yangcheng with Hensheng?
Because there is an old man named Bai in Shanxian County.
What did Old Man Bai want to tell me?
In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind.
Su Zhenzhen pondered the old man Bai's words about "eating" that he had just spoken.
On the surface, he might be trying to imply to himself that no matter what Jiang Sijin does, she is still surnamed Jiang and will definitely not hand over the world to others.
As long as the direct descendants of the Jiang Dynasty ultimately rule the world, they will be considered to be legitimate, and Hensheng's mission will be accomplished.
There's no need to get angry with Jiang Sijin right now.
But if the process isn't important, then we should only focus on the result.
What will be Su Zhenzhen's result? Will she achieve 100 sales targets?
No, what's the point of achieving 100 sales targets? To get promoted. And what's the point of getting promoted? To become a qualified partner in the underworld, to save all the wronged souls in the world, and to restore justice.
The series of inexplicable events that happened to her have already shown that she possesses the ability to communicate with spirits and guide souls.
She doesn't need proof of those 100 achievements.
If performance metrics are no longer needed to measure one's progress towards promotion, it makes sense why the progress bar in one's mind has become a simple number.
Perhaps it was some kind of countdown.
Su Zhenzhen suddenly felt enlightened and went to sleep in a better mood.
After they woke up, they released General Huo and Li Xuanji one by one and asked them a question.
Do you regret it?
General Huo was still a little confused. Looking around at the scene, he realized it was a coffin shop in Shanxian County. He didn't understand why Su Zhenzhen was here.
"Where is His Highness? Where is he now?"
"Of course he's going back to Yangcheng to oversee things and direct the follow-up. Is it okay for me to take a break? Besides, I'm just a passerby, and I don't seem to have any necessary connection to your grand plan."
As soon as Su Zhenzhen spoke, she felt as if she had understood.
Originally, I only wanted to help 100 wronged souls, and I didn't have to get involved in their troubles. It was just because I couldn't bear to see loyal officials being wronged that I traveled with them.
It's as if helping someone who hates others to overthrow their country has become her KPI.
