Our husband is the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha! You are all very good too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, feeling very comfortable in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be happy to be recognized by all his wives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the ladies, Su Xuan suddenly thought of Zhang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I haven't seen her for a long time; it's time to go pay her a visit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, Zhang Jiao did entrust me with taking good care of her back then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Su Xuan immediately left the General's Mansion and, taking Xu Chu with him, arrived at the courtyard where Zhang Ning resided to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, what brings you to this humble woman's place today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having someone serve tea to Su Xuan, Zhang Ning asked with a faint expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Xuan hadn't known her inner thoughts through mind-reading, he would have truly believed she was as indifferent as she appeared on the surface!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the reality was not so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Ning’s feelings toward him were very complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't be called hatred; after all, strictly speaking, her father was not killed by Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, he chose to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Zhang Jiao was backlashed by the Great Han’s Golden Dragon of Luck, his life had already entered a countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to say she liked him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ning did have a bit of a crush on Su Xuan, but it was hazy, and she herself was somewhat uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because they had had too little contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn't met many times in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her nature was naturally inclined toward being indifferent and quiet, and she had never been in a relationship or anything of the sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't understand it well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, staying at home to cultivate the Dao, practice martial arts, and read books made up her day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Ning’s words, Su Xuan smiled slightly: \"It's nothing! I just suddenly remembered I had neglected you, so I came over to see how you were doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, I promised your father back then that I would take good care of you and ensure you have a stable and happy future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, I must fulfill that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything you want? Just tell me! I will satisfy you as much as I can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ning shook her head and said: \"There is nothing I want; it is quite good to be plain and simple like this now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, following my father, we were always running around; although it didn't count as being destitute, in my heart, it was actually about the same;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, I often hoped my father could take our family and stay in one place securely, living a good life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, all of that is already impossible now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father had a compassionate heart; he couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people and wanted to save more people and change this man-eating world;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also acted on this with his own body;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, he failed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He underestimated the cunning of the noble clans and powerful families, underestimated the human heart, and even more so, underestimated the baser nature of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Zhang Ning stood up and went to the window, looking at the distant sky for a while, then turned her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dark hair drifted gently with the breeze as she looked at Su Xuan and asked: \"My father said he had calculated the future and saw that you realized the wish in his heart, achieving a world of Great Harmony;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I actually didn't believe it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But these past few months, I have seen the changes in Jiangling City and even Nanjun with my own eyes;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are indeed very different;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your ideas and your thoughts seem to be focused on the common people;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, you really might be able to realize my father’s original dream;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that this path will be very dangerous;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, you will likely be the enemy of the whole world; are you truly prepared for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on her good feelings toward Su Xuan, she actually didn't want to see Su Xuan end up with his family destroyed and everyone turning against him in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good person shouldn't end up with such a fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this person was a bit too unfaithful, actually marrying four at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, he was also a bad guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan, through mind-reading, saw all of Zhang Ning’s conflicted inner thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled slightly: \"Rest assured, I have long anticipated these things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation you mentioned of being the enemy of the whole world will not happen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding reform, I have long had a perfect plan;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not be in a hurry, but will take it step by step, slowly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, try to win over as many like-minded people as possible; this is the key to the success of the reform!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your father and the others back then got the focus wrong; they didn't clearly distinguish who were the true enemies, who were their own people, and who could be trusted, which is why they failed;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I will not fail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Su Xuan was so confident mainly because he was cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing heaven-defying comprehension, he had created things like spiritual contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path of Qi Refining and so on... as long as he didn't court death, he was basically already in an invincible position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, regarding reform, he was indeed not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even planned to wait until he became the number one warlord and occupied an absolute advantage before implementing many policies step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he had cultivated enough loyal talents would it be time for a full-scale promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, he actually wanted to wait until he had created the method of the Dynasty of Luck and established such a dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using greater benefits to secure and win over the civil and military officials and families around him, ensuring that the reform proceeded more smoothly and easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, according to his deductions, if the Dynasty of Luck were truly formed, it would be a terrifying means capable of granting longevity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to longevity and the control of powerful extraordinary power, other benefits seemed somewhat insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you want to reform, besides winning over more like-minded people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing out greater benefits is also a key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longevity and powerful extraordinary power were the bait and cake in Su Xuan’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ning felt Su Xuan’s intense confidence, smiled slightly, and nodded: \"That’s good! I hope you are right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the two began to chat casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked about everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trends of the world, trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the relationship between the two began to draw closer, becoming familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, more than two hours passed, and the sky was already gradually darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan also stood up to take his leave: \"It’s getting late! I should go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had a very happy chat with you today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ning also nodded slightly, feeling a bit of excitement and reluctance in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had indeed never chatted so happily with anyone before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt very relaxed staying with Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely different from what she had expected earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan didn't give her the feeling of a serious general, but more like an older brother from next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No airs, and no arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Ning’s words, Su Xuan smiled slightly and said: \"Since that’s the case, I will come to talk to you often when I have time in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, you might as well go out more, go to the General's Mansion more, and chat with my wives;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are all very good people; I believe you should be able to get along and interact very well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1356,"2026-06-16T22:46:39.318Z","2026-06-16T22:58:39.531Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5ff6d8666856b8b788d9b290f1a0fd3b1938117a659b5b38f1f7f9e3378889bb","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-141","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-139",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
