"Haha! You are all very good too!"

Su Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

To be recognized by all his wives, how could he not be happy?

After leaving the women, Su Xuan suddenly thought of Zhang Ning.

"It seems I haven't seen her for a long time, it's time to go see her!"

"After all, Zhang Jiao entrusted me with the hope that I could take good care of her!"

Thinking this, Su Xuan immediately left the General's Mansion, took Xu Chu, and arrived at the courtyard where Zhang Ning lived to see her.

"General, how do you have the time to come to this young woman's place today?"

After Zhang Ning had someone serve tea to Su Xuan, she asked with a faint expression.

If Su Xuan hadn't known her inner thoughts through mind-reading, he would have really thought she was as indifferent as she appeared on the surface!

However, the facts were not so.

At this moment, in Zhang Ning's heart, her feelings toward him were very complex.

She couldn't say she hated him; after all, strictly speaking, her father wasn't killed by Su Xuan.

Rather, he had chosen to die.

From the moment Zhang Jiao was backlashed by the Golden Dragon of the Great Han's destiny, his life had already entered a countdown.

But to say she liked him?

Zhang Ning really did like Su Xuan a little, but it was quite hazy, and she herself was a bit uncertain.

Mainly because they had had too little contact.

In total, they hadn't seen each other many times.

Her nature was inherently quite indifferent and quiet, and she had never been in a relationship or anything like that.

She didn't understand it very well!

Usually, staying at home to cultivate the Dao, practice martial arts, and read books was her day.

"Nothing!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing Zhang Ning's words: "Nothing! I just suddenly remembered that I had neglected you, so I came to see how you are doing!"

"After all, I promised your father that I would take good care of you and give you a stable and happy future!"

"No matter what, I must fulfill it!"

"Is there anything you want? Just tell me! I will satisfy you as much as possible!"

Zhang Ning shook her head: "There is nothing I want. It's quite good to be plain and simple like this!"

"In the past, following my father, we always had to run around. Although it couldn't be called wandering, in my heart, it was basically the same;"

"At that time, I often hoped that my father could take our family to stay in one place stably and live a good life!"

"Unfortunately, all of this is no longer possible!"

"My father had a compassionate heart, could not bear the suffering of the people, and wanted to save more people and change this man-eating world;"

"He also practiced what he preached;"

"Unfortunately, he failed!"

"He underestimated the cunning of the clans and powerful families, underestimated human nature, and even more underestimated the baseness of human nature."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ning stood up and walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, stared blankly for a while, and then turned her head.

Her black hair fluttered gently in the breeze as she looked at Su Xuan and asked: "My father said he calculated the future and saw that you realized the wish in his heart and realized the Great Unity World;"

"I actually didn't believe it at first!"

"But in these few months, I have seen the changes in Jiangling City and even Nanjun with my own eyes;"

"You are indeed very different;"

"Your ideas and your thoughts seem to be focused on the people;"

"Perhaps, you really might realize my father's original dream;"

"However, this path will be very dangerous;"

"In the future, you will likely be an enemy to the whole world. Are you really prepared for this?"

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.

A good person shouldn't end up with such an outcome.

Of course, this person was a bit too unfaithful, actually marrying four at once.

From this perspective, he was a bad guy again.

Su Xuan saw Zhang Ning's tangled inner heart through mind-reading.

He smiled slightly: "Rest assured, I have long anticipated these!"

"The situation of being an enemy to the whole world that you speak of will not happen!"

"Regarding the reforms, I have already had a perfect plan;"

"I will not be in a hurry, but will take it step by step, slowly!"

"First, try to win over more like-minded people as much as possible. This is the key to the success of the reform!"

"Back then, your father and the others got the focus wrong, failing to distinguish who were the real enemies, who were their own people, and who could be trusted, which is why they failed;"

"And I will not fail!"

Of course, Su Xuan was so confident mainly because he was cheating.

Possessing heaven-defying comprehension, he had created things like spiritual contracts.

The path of Qi refining, etc... As long as he didn't court death, he was basically already in an invincible position.

Moreover, regarding the reform, he was indeed not in a hurry.

In fact, many policies were prepared to be implemented step by step only after he became the number one warlord and occupied an absolute advantage.

It would be time for full promotion only after he had cultivated enough loyal talents.

In addition, he actually also wanted to wait until he had created the method of the Dynasty of Destiny and established the Dynasty of Destiny.

To ensure and win over the civil and military officials and families around him with greater benefits, ensuring that the reform proceeded more smoothly and easily.

After all, according to his deduction, if the Dynasty of Destiny really succeeded, it was a terrifying means sufficient to make people live forever.

Compared with longevity and the control of powerful extraordinary power, other benefits seemed somewhat insignificant.

When you want to reform, besides winning over more like-minded people.

Throwing out greater benefits is also a key point.

Longevity and powerful extraordinary power were the bait and cake in Su Xuan's hands.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Ning felt Su Xuan's strong confidence, smiled slightly, and nodded: "That's good! I hope you are right!"

Next, the two of them started chatting casually like this.

They talked about everything.

The world's situation, trivial matters.

Gradually, the relationship between the two also began to draw closer and became familiar.

Unknowingly, more than 2 hours passed, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Su Xuan also stood up to say goodbye: "It's getting late! I should go!"

"I had a great time chatting with you today!"

"Yes! Me too!"

Zhang Ning also nodded slightly, feeling a bit excited and reluctant.

She really had never had such a happy chat with anyone.

She felt very relaxed staying with Su Xuan.

This was completely different from what she had expected earlier.

The feeling Su Xuan gave her was not like a serious general, but more like a big brother next door.

No airs, and no arrogance.

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing Zhang Ning's words and said: "Since that's the case, I will come to talk to you often when I have time in the future!"

"Besides, you might as well come out for a walk more often, go to the General's Mansion, and chat with my wives;"

"They are all very good people, and I believe you should be able to get along and get along very well!"

"I'm off!"
