Chapter 50 (2/2)

That household registration record must have absolutely no relations with the i her social class status

Even when it co, there are different ways of life As a co oppression froher positions of power Without security forces, even the most wealthiest of co by a pack of wolves, and Chu Yu refused to be that sheep

As to the question of securing class status, this is to an extent dependent on a person's social circle

She needed good connections with the local authorities and people of power, needed to build a security force for her own protection, needed le one was easy to obtain

Hence, Chu Yu needed Huan Yuan Not only that, she needed more people as a form of precaution and to secure a solid foundation All she had nohich she could use was half a person Huan Yuan's experience was not enough, so he could only be counted as half

Liu Sang was too young to partake in any of theseand Liu Se could be ofZhi for the ti Only Huan Yuan could be counted as half a person on her side As for Yue Jie Fei, she could not trust hi here, Chu Yu had ascertained Yue Jie Fei's loyalty He was loyal to Princess Shanyin, but only because his entire martial arts school was loyal to the imperial fa this, Chu Yu could neither place her trust in Yue Jie Fei nor reveal to him her intentions If she did so, the other party would surely think - ould a princess need to hide her identity and whereabouts? Hoould she explain herself then?

Besides, even if it came down to 'retreat', Chu Yu did not wish to face humiliation and oppression at the hands of others If she were to leave now, this would surely be her downfall

She needed the power to secure her oell-being in this era of chaos

Going beyond purely defensive power, this included influential power, manpower, and the poithin a wide social network

Say, if so their situation, they would view it standing from their current location - be it in a county or state, across every corner and plane they could see The most they can forecast will be limited to whatever is happenstance for the day As for Chu Yu, she could observe her situation from a broad standpoint across history itself

A thousand years' span of knowledge froh a tad naïve froht was far above as coe

Others looked at ould benefit the people and situations What Chu Yu saas history itself

This is where she stood apart froe was poor, froeneral standpoint, she possessed a keen upper hand

Although she hadand retreating, there was still one question which Chu Yu had to examine If she acted out of self-preservation, would it affect history's progression?

What if, as a result of her actions, a tiny ripple would appear and this ripple would grow larger and larger, until it accidentally affected ould happen a thousand years later What would she do then?

In simpler words, Chu Yu was anxious about the ra the many ancestors from before her 21st century self, would it also erase away her own existence?

This question, albeit boring, was one she could not afford to ignore In the likelihood of her changing a historical event, with it going on to cause a shi+ft in the course of history… … What would happen next?

Would she disappear into thin air?

Maybe to other people, this question would seearded her life, how could she not conte for a long ti his answer A moment's consideration later, he replied ”Princess, I'd like to ask, about that river, does it desire to change its direction that uous, as if he had deduced so at the sae its direction that much?

Word by word, the question haentle and unhurried

Chu Yu closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, once, before opening her eyes slowly, calmly ”Very Very much so” No matter how hard she tried to keep co voice, out leaked an insuppressible desire ”That river, veryits direction”

It wanted to It desired to

Rong Zhi looked at Chu Yu with a see direction that badly, what can I say, that would change herhis reply, Chu Yu was stunned speechless The next reenery blocking out the sun could not hide it ”You're right, that river has a e” Her tone settled evenly, as if relieving itself of so its direction

Chu Yu stood up abruptly, striding away in quick steps

Once she was gone, Rong Zhi laid back down on his bench, boneless, languid and content

A river… …eh?
