Li Changzhou hid in the Void, standing outside Earth's atmosphere.
Overlooking the Huaxia Land, Jiajing's fate had changed. Getting closer to becoming an Immortal, yet unchanged, ultimately still not an Immortal.
A flash of insight crossed his mind: Despite his direct intervention to elevate Jiajing's strength to that of an Immortal, it was useless.
Fate, even a Heavenly Position master, can only make small changes; the Jiajing who becomes an Immortal is destined to die at the hands of Demon Beasts one day, living shorter than what an Immortal should.
Fate doesn't care whether he becomes an Immortal, it only wants Jiajing to die in the spring of 1567.
When heaven decrees a person's death, what is difficult about it.
After pondering deeply for a moment, Li Changzhou fully recovered his ability, about to tear through space-time to return to the main time and space, but suddenly paused.
Since he had already entered the secondary time space, there was a place, even without a destiny node, he hesitated whether to visit.
◇
1928, September, Song City.
At this time, Commander Li Xinghua and his eldest son Li Bichang were assassinated on a special train to Ming City.
Second son Li Changzhou took power.
Song City established a girls' middle school today for the opening ceremony, and the third Miss of the Li Clan, Li Biwei, was invited to attend and deliver a speech.
"...The era has changed, we do not encourage women to remain celibate, but being willing to sacrifice everything for love is still commendable, as is love, loyalty, filial piety, humanity, righteousness, everything; this is what I want to talk about today."
The female students applauded.
The seventh concubine of old Commander Li Xinghua was also there, in a blue cloth coat, black long skirt, clear water-like gaze. Even before the opening, she had already been designated as the campus belle.
After the old Commander's death, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old concubine wanted to study, and Li Changzhou also allowed it.
The seventh concubine knew her status, didn't choose co-ed schools, only picked the girls' middle school, enrolled in third grade, preparing for university entrance.
After the speech, Li Biwei directly left.
"Miss, you spoke so well." Maid Yu'er attended her.
"Xia Country is in the midst of reform and turmoil, thoughts are radical too, but abroad they completed reforms early, what is right, what is wrong, a trip abroad will reveal, it hardly matters." Li Biwei spoke casually.
Yu'er knew where Miss's thoughts were.
She laughed, "Second Master went out to reorganize military affairs, it's a necessary task, and he'll be back soon."
"You hush!" Li Biwei glared at her.
Yu'er chuckled sneakily, suddenly froze, dazed, "Second Master?"
Li Biwei looked over and saw beside the Rolls-Royce she had just bought from England, a young man in a suit, with a gentleman's cane, leaning against it.
His figure was tall and elegant, strikingly handsome, enough to captivate every lady.
"Second Brother!" Li Biwei smiled.
The description of beauty couldn't capture her exquisite image, eyes shimmering like water, delicate nose, lips just the right thickness, hair like ribbon.
Wearing a moon-white cheongsam, accentuating her curves.
A lavish 108-beads necklace draped on her neck, exuding nobility.
Skin pale like fine snow, forearms and calves graceful and simple, wearing high heels, the instep petite and elegant, graceful charm.
Li Changzhou smiled welcomingly.
Li Biwei curiously asked, "Second Brother, weren't you going to the military supply department to personally serve as its head for a period?"
"I heard Miss Li was going to give a speech today, specifically rushed back to listen, but still arrived late." Li Changzhou joked, then said, "Accompany you for a stroll, then head back soon."
"Missed me?" Li Biwei laughed as if whispering.
Li Changzhou didn't answer.
They met eyes, gazes collided, like two high-speed cars, Li Biwei was going against the flow.
Both sensed the danger of crashing into the Abyss, but neither yielded, if they fell into the Abyss, they fell.
"Let's go." Li Changzhou pointed to a path to the right.
Li Biwei instructed Yu'er and the driver, "No need to follow, I'll take a walk with Second Brother."
Yu'er nodded.
They walked along the campus wall full of flowers, hearing the youthful and beautiful conversations of the female students inside.
"Back suddenly, is there something?" Li Biwei turned her face, eyes fixed on him admiringly.
"What could it be? Just wanted to come back for a look."
"If troubled, come confide in me; if there's an unsolvable issue, I'll pack up, bring plenty of Silver Coins, and we'll elope together."
Li Changzhou laughed twice.
They walked leisurely.
Suddenly Li Biwei said, "You're not getting married, are you?"
Li Changzhou was slightly surprised, also a bit intrigued, he indeed was about to marry.
"Why say that?" he asked.
"Otherwise, why would Second Brother suddenly return from the army to visit me, an old Lover?"
Sister... Lover... these two words Li Changzhou truly couldn't put together.
"Look," Li Biwei pointed at Li Changzhou, "not daring to look at me!"
"No such thing."
"But eventually." Li Biwei sighed with feigned wistful helplessness, "I've understood, expecting a man to love only one woman forever, simply impossible.
"Unless he saw few women, Liu Family's young boy, fifteen, already has three wives; and doesn't live long, Bai Family's old man, ninety-three, still intent on marrying a twenty-two-year-old girl.
"Second Brother, you've seen many women, lived long enough — and I don't wish for you to have a short life, even with dedicated care, at least you'll marry two."
"At most two." Li Changzhou promised.
"Besides me, who's the other?" Li Biwei immediately asked.
"..."
"Hmm?" She leaned closer as if pressing him, or pretending to be hard of hearing.
A fragrant presence, slender waist within arm's reach, could be embraced.
Li Changzhou didn't say a word.
