Chapter 3218: Jiang Liuer

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "What's the difference... haha! With this weak, pitiful body of mine? Even a minor demon could bully me."

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "... Even if you really were in danger right now, how could I possibly save you?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was clearly psychologically shattered by the memory replica.

He now sank into a state of self-denial.

Yagami Taiichi: "..."

Hōjō Shinnan: "Though I still don't understand the dynamic between the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Jiang Liuer... their bond is unquestionable!"

Lelouch: "Yes. Moving."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Actually... Great Sage, if Jiang Liuer truly encounters mortal danger like in the original story, the Guild will send rescuers!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "There's no way they'd let him die."

Kameari: "Or even if he dies, the Guild Master could forcibly drag him back out of the Guild."

Kameari added softly.

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Huh? Why did the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's name change?"

Su Han immediately looked puzzled: "Wasn't he originally called Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong? Tony Isn't the Richest: 'Because he suddenly found another Sun Wukong in the Guild. To avoid duplication... he changed it.'"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "The same happened to the Go Sage—so he wouldn't be confused with Jiang Liuer, he kept his original name."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... I see."

Su Han nodded thoughtfully, not overly concerned—it was just a minor issue.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "By the way... have you all watched Go Boy?"

En Dagu: "I have."

En Dagu: "My emotions right now are extremely complicated."

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "All I want right now is Fujisawa Saitei."

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "I'm curious—when Fujisawa-sensei watches the Go-playing techniques in Go Boy, what's he thinking?"

Sakata Ginji: "You're such a terrible person!"

Sakata Ginji: "But when Fujisawa Saitei answers, please tell me too!"

Fujisawa Saitei: "..."

Fujisawa Saitei's mouth twitched uncontrollably—how could he possibly comment on Go Boy? Those scenes where Go moves alter heaven and earth? That's not scientific at all! Yukinoshita Yukino: "Actually, there's not much to say... that image feels more like imagination—or fantasy—than reality."

Fūsaka Taiga: "That's true... no matter how I look at it, that world doesn't seem supernatural."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "I think Go Boy tells a wuxia story! Though different from traditional wuxia novels, it carries the spirit of the Jianghu."

Zhang Sanfeng was deeply moved.

He gave it the highest praise.

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "From unruly child to mature, steady man; from arrogant ambition to humble courtesy—yet always preserving his integrity, kindness, and refusal to give up. Jiang Liuer once regretted the colossal sins he committed... and once rejoiced wholeheartedly at the gifts he received."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Though his life was terribly tragic and bitter... fortunately, he met many good teachers and friends who guided him onto the right path... This is a fine story of growth!"

Lu Xiaofeng with Four Eyebrows: "Even if you say that... isn't this just too tragic?"

Lu Xiaofeng's face showed a hint of pity.

Lu Xiaofeng with Four Eyebrows: "He's just a child... yet endured so much! From a pampered noble boy to a street beggar..."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "... If you're feeling so sympathetic, why not adopt him?"

Lu Xiaofeng with Four Eyebrows: "... That's actually a viable option!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully.

Fujisawa Saitei: "... I can't help feeling... this kid has the aura of a Tian Sha Gu Xing."

Fujisawa Saitei frowned tightly.

He wasn't deliberately targeting or despising Jiang Liuer—this just struck him as strange.

Wudao Dong Xiang: "It's indeed strange. Liu Nanru died, Jin Weiyuan died, Lin Xincheng died... even Yuan De Master, who protected him, nearly died on the spot..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "It's normal."

Su Xiao Xiao: "After all, though this story is about Go, it's really about life."

Su Han clicked his tongue.

If it weren't for the suffering, how could one truly feel the bitterness of life? Go Sage: "Then... what should I do now?"

Even though Jiang Liuer's temperament was more composed than his peers, knowing his future made him just as unable to remain calm.

He thought of all the deaths of those close to him... of his future homelessness. All he felt now was fear and confusion.

Edogawa Conan: "As Lu Xiaofeng said before—why not just get adopted by him?"

Tian Dao: "Of course... if you don't want to be adopted by Lu Xiaofeng, you could be adopted by me..."

Song Que, after brief thought, also made his promise.

Tian Dao: "I can't give him the Tang imperial succession, but granting him the lifestyle of a prince, and later the status of a retired prince... won't be a problem."

Kill Teacher: "..."

Kayaba Akihiko: "..."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "Do you think an Emperor can do whatever he wants?"

Saizo: "Yes... an Emperor can do far more than you imagine."

Dōjima Ya Zi: "A retort stuck in my throat... but I can't refute it!"

Go Sage: "... Prince? And... Tang?"

Jiang Liuer was certainly no stranger to that historically glorious dynasty.

His father had once been an Imperial Envoy... so he knew exactly what it meant if this man truly made him a prince of the empire: "Which Emperor? Li Shimin... or someone else?"

Jiang Liuer bit down on his lower lip.

He was even considering whether to inform this Emperor of the history he knew.

However, he then thought of the memory copies.

His own affairs were all contained within the memory copies; there was no reason this so-called Great Tang would lack memory copies... and so he abandoned the idea.
