Chapter 4567

If this is truly the case, then the situation is dire.

After all, his next plan was to use his reputation as a Lightning Qilin prodigy to approach the Great Liang prince, then enter the capital.

If someone powerful in the capital knew about this interface in his mind, yet when questioned, he knew nothing... this would shatter his persona as the Lightning Qilin prodigy who knows all things... and could even cause his entire original plan to collapse! "Still, it's not all bad."

Mei Changsu sat back down, his eyes deep and profound, "I've now touched upon this... it's not too late to begin understanding it deeply."

Ultimately, his grand strategy has not yet truly unfolded... there is still time to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Mei Changsu closed his eyes and continued observing the guild chat interface.

Hai Rui: "What is this? Why has it appeared directly in my mind!"

Hai Rui: "Moreover... all these characters within, I've never studied! Yet the moment I saw them, their meaning became perfectly clear... and whenever I wish to speak here, the interface automatically forms the words I intend to say."

Hai Rui's expression was equally grave; internally, "Am I mad, or is this interface mad?"

"Or perhaps this is truly... no, Confucius spoke not of strange powers and supernatural things! The current Emperor has long been obsessed with cultivation and has not attended court for years... how could I follow in his footsteps?"

Though he had briefly wavered, Hai Rui quickly regained his composure, his gaze clear.

Kaito Kid: "... I feel I've heard the name Hai Rui before! But I can't quite recall who it is—wait, let me check Google."

Jackie Chan Doesn't Want to Dig Up History: "No need— he's a famous minister from the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing era! A clean official... he reportedly rebuked Emperor Jiajing many times— a truly remarkable figure."

Saitou Taikawa: "Tsk tsk, in the Ming Dynasty, I suspect Zhu Di might be quite pleased right now."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Di: "My emotions are complicated and subtle..."

Zhu Di's expression was strange, for he too, through guild members, had learned the entire history of the Ming Dynasty and knew many of its famed ministers... such as the Nine-Thousand-Year Eunuch Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Juzheng, and others... Hai Rui was naturally known to him.

After a brief silence, Zhu Di shook his head, regained his composure, and continued posting in the guild.

Zhu Di: "But... that's about it."

In this guild, I've even seen Qin Shi Huang and Zhang Sanfeng... what else could possibly join and shake my spirit? Even if my father Zhu Yuanzhang joined, I could accept it calmly."

Kousaka Kyosuke: "Forget it... everyone in the guild knows you're terrified of Zhu Yuanzhang! You dream about him chopping you off every night."

Zhu Di: "..."

You damn... don't you know you don't expose someone's weak points! Hai Rui: "..."

Hai Rui: "!!!!"

Hai Rui: "Emperor Chengzu... how could it possibly be you? And Zhang Sanfeng, True Person, Qin Shi Huang— does this mean... this truly is an artifact of immortals and gods, and you, Emperor Chengzu, have now attained the Dao and become immortal?"

Hai Rui's spirit trembled, his emotions too complex and intricate to describe in words.

If this truly is an artifact of immortals and gods, then why did I enter it? Not that Hai Rui was self-deprecating, but he was merely an ordinary Ming official, insignificant among the entire court... he truly felt he could not stand alongside these... top-tier figures... Kogoro Conan: "This question is complicated! As usual, first check the guild's introduction..."

Kaito Kid: "!!! I bet he won't understand it at all."

Gudako: "... Don't underestimate people, okay? Zhu Di understood it— Hai Rui isn't any less intelligent than Zhu Di."

Mei Lang of Jiangzuo: "So that's it! A place used by immortals and gods to chat... even capable of existing across worlds— remarkable."

This is far more advanced than carrier pigeons— no, than any information exchange method since ancient times."

After reading the guild introduction, Mei Changsu's heart surged with emotion.

He understood, no longer worried— or rather, he was now extremely excited.

His cheeks even flushed red from excessive excitement.

"Ninety percent likely true! After all, mortals cannot accomplish such things."

And if I truly integrate myself into the realm of immortals and gods, and cultivate good relations with them! The vengeance of the Red Flame Army... would be effortlessly achieved."

Mei Changsu lowered his eyes, mentally calculating repeatedly, yet still worried, "But I cannot be certain what I am to these people."

"If I joined by accident, then once they realize it, I may very well be kicked out..."

Mei Changsu knew the gap between himself and the immortals and gods was immense... so vast that they might not even share a common language... "No, I must demonstrate my value to the utmost! And I must build good relations with the powerful figures in this guild..."

Mei Changsu stared at the guild member list; after a brief silence, his gaze locked onto the name at the very top: Su Xiao Xiao.

He murmured, "Before this name is written 'Guild Master'... this must be the head of this guild! If I gain his approval, I should be able to stay here safely, without fear of being expelled."

Xiao
