Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 45: Life Is A Book

Chapter 45: Life is a Book

"You...you brat! Just because of that sentence, We shall give you eighty lashes!"

How could there be such a person!

Looking at Bai Yu's disdainful face.

Lansu suddenly had some doubts about his supreme status.

Is it really so unbearable?

Who doesn't aspire to be an emperor?

This represents the ultimate status in the mortal world!

Respected and revered by all!

This person...

Bai Yu shrugged, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with what this commoner said?"

Stubbornly, he seemed to have some twisted reasoning.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of '996'.

But staying up late working by the lamp, it did seem quite tiring.

Lansu tugged at the corner of his mouth, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Don't joke around!"

"Bai Yu, seriously tell Us, why do you want to be an official? What do you seek?"

Lansu thought for a moment, then continued to ask Bai Yu.

The tense atmosphere between the two at first,

Had completely disappeared in just a few sentences.

They didn't seem like a ruler and his subject, but rather like ordinary people casually chatting.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this commoner's intentions are quite clear!"

"To be an official, of course, is to seek power and wealth!"

Lansu shook his head,

He no longer had the intention to correct Bai Yu's straightforward values of greed and power.

He just looked into Bai Yu's eyes and said with great certainty, "Not only that!"

He knew very well that this young man's thoughts were not limited to just that.

The answer to this question was very important to him.

This young man was a talented courtier!

Indescribable, unimaginable, unfathomable.

If used well, it would be a great achievement for the country for thousands of years,

But,

If used poorly, it would be a disaster that would overthrow the dynasty.

He couldn't afford to be careless.

"Tsk~"

"What are you aiming for?"

Bai Yu paused,

Facing the burning gaze of the emperor, his carefree smile gradually faded.

He pointed to a book on the table, "Your Majesty, when you look at this book, what do you feel?"

"Hmm?"

Lansu raised an eyebrow,

That book was nothing more than a document submitted by a courtier.

Did Bai Yu have some kind of sorcery that allowed him to read through the book?

He didn't quite understand what Bai Yu meant by his words.

Bai Yu said softly, "Life is like a book! Some people have thick volumes of life, while others have shallow ones."

"In a broader sense, a group of people is also a book. The thickness is greater for heroes and great men, while the length is shorter for the unknown."

"Furthermore, a kingdom, an era, is also a book! When the pages are spread out among the people and the land, only a few strokes remain!"

Bai Yu spoke confidently, and Lan Su listened to his words, staring at the book, immersed in his speech.

"Your Majesty, when time extends infinitely backward, you, me, and everything in this world will become symbols, recorded in this book."

"Some people may be just a character, some may be a line, some may be a page, and some... may disappear without a trace, not even leaving a mark."

Lan Su paused, his eyes widened, his heart pounding.

Looking at the book, he was speechless.

At this moment, he perhaps understood the meaning of Bai Yu's words.

"But!"

Bai Yu's tone suddenly became louder, "Some people, even after the erosion of time, after thousands of years have passed, they can still become a complete and substantial book, occupying the largest space in this era! They can become the most brilliant, the most dazzling legend, passed down through generations!"

Bai Yu pointed to his own chest, his meaning was self-evident.

With a smile, he said, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with Bai Yu's answer?"

Lan Su: ...

The old emperor remained silent,

Just sitting in front of his desk, looking at the extraordinary young man before him.

Listening to his words that surpassed ordinary comprehension.

Perhaps,

In the span of thousands of years, there will always be such a stunning and extraordinary talent.

He lowered his eyes slightly,

Today, my disturbed heart has been repeatedly agitated,

Once again, it starts to beat violently, becoming even more surging and turbulent.

A suppressed passion emerges uncontrollably.
