Chapter 943: Growing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The wonders of space could only be felt by comprehending them.

Now that she had learned from Zhou Zhi, she could more or less feel the Space. Su Xiaolu could also feel some of it. She could not describe it. It was as if the air in front of her was contained by an invisible small grid. Outsiders could not see or touch this small grid. Only she could feel it.

As for the Space, it expanded such a small grid and moved it.

Storage meant putting things into such a small compartment that could be controlled and removed at any time.

What Su Xiaolu could sense was the Space Wall.

She stretched out her hand. The length of her hand was the Space Wall. If she wanted to touch it further, she had to fold the Space so that her hand could travel from here to there through the Space.

Su Xiaolu tried to break through the Space Wall in front of her and release her mental strength to touch it. She sat like this for four hours.

She found nothing. The Space Wall was still indestructible, and there were no gaps.

During this period of time, some people exhausted their mental strength, got up, and left quietly.

Su Xiaolu opened her eyes. It was already dusk and the sun was setting.

She no longer had a single disciple by her side.

Zhou Zhi stood up and asked her with a smile, “Did Xiaolu have a breakthrough today?”

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No, Fourth Brother, how did you break through at that time?”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “When the blessings come, there’s no hurry. Take your time to break through.”

Su Xiaolu got up and the two of them went to the dining hall to eat. When they didn’t eat the special stove, they mostly ate in the dining hall. Under the setting sun, the two of them walked side by side.

Su Xiaolu said, “Can Zhuo do it? He’s not even 16.’

When Zhou Zhi came to the academy, it was obvious that he was not prepared to interfere in the palace’s affairs. Zhou Zhuo was now the Crown Prince supervising the country. Every time he saw Zhou Zhuo, he gave off a lively, quick-witted, and likable feeling.

“Of course. Zhuo’er was the one who investigated the corruption case in Lan Zhou three years ago. Xiaolu should have heard of it.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and replied gently. He had personally raised Zhou Zhuo. Zhou Zhuo was the most suitable emperor. He was both merciful and ruthless. Su Xiaolu was stunned. “Three years ago, Xiao Zhuo was only twelve years old.”

She had not only heard about the Lan Zhou case, but she also knew all the details about it.

That case involved a lot of things. If they wanted to deal with it, almost the entire Lan Zhou would be finished. However, the final solution could be said to be perfect.

The lives of the commoners were guaranteed. There was no chaos. Those corrupt officials served the country as sinners.

As long as they could turn Lanzhou into a state of good fields, their sins would be offset. There was still a chance to repay their sins. They would not kill anyone.

Later on, those corrupt officials were released from the fields. In the past three years, the food production in Lanzhou had doubled. The commoners were even more stable and rich.

Zhou Zhi smiled and looked ahead. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing his pride.

“Zhuo’er didn’t let you down.”

Zhou Zhi chuckled and said. The child he had raised was so outstanding. How could he not be proud?

Zhou Zhi’s laughter was light. It was obvious how happy he was.

Su Xiaolu was relieved. Three years ago, he could handle such a big case alone. Now, he could only be even better. No wonder Zhou Zhi was relieved. The two of them ate together and went back to rest.

When Zhou Zhi was teaching in the academy, he also taught people how to make artifacts.

The engraving jade slip and the meson space. Zhou Zhi never hid what he knew.

However, these things were too profound. There were too few students who could understand.

All the teachers were learning.

However, they did not make any breakthroughs. Even if they could sense the Space Wall, they did not know how to break through.

Su Kuo knew how to do it, but this was an ability he already knew. He was the World Guardian Beast. He knew the rules, laws, and order in the world, but he could not teach anyone.

Sensing the Space was boring, so slowly, the enthusiasm to learn it passed. This Space Wall, which was as hard as iron, was not broken, and gradually, many people gave up.

Fortunately, there were new disciples in the academy every year. Although there were not many disciples who learned from Zhou Zhi, there were some every year.

Su Xiaolu did not give up. She felt that she was about to break through.

Unknowingly, another five years passed.

Su Xiaolu looked at her unchanged hand. She was already 50 years old, but her appearance had not changed. Among the few cultivators, she did not know what her current cultivation level was. After so many years, she had not left the Great Zhou and had not participated in any treasure hunting, so she did not know her level unless she fought with others.

She never missed her homework every day.

The few disciples she had taken in at the beginning last year had also returned to the academy to become teachers.

Fang Lan and Wang Mingyue were already married and had a son.

Jiang Wanlin cultivated the heartless Dao and was not involved in love.

Chang Xian was also unmarried. Su Xiaolu asked a few times, but Chang Xian shook his head. He said, “Master, life is too short. I’m determined to save the world. There are many difficult illnesses waiting for me to cure.” Chang Xian was a medical fanatic.

Su Xiaolu valued freedom to begin with, so she naturally did not restrain them.

February 2nd, the day the dragon looked up.

Su Xiaolu and the others were dressed to enter the palace because today was the day Zhou Zhuo ascended the throne. Su Xiaolu and the others had come to witness it.

With all the Su family members around, there were many new faces. Su Xiaolu did not deliberately remember them because in the future, there would only be more and more children. She would gradually leave the secular world, so it did not matter if she did not remember them.

Zhou Zhuo’s aura was powerful. He was wearing a dragon robe and was led by Zhou Zhi to pray to the heavens to inform his ancestors.

Zhou Zhi officially abdicated and Zhou Zhuo became the new emperor.

This was the first time Su Xiaolu had seen Zhou Zhuo’s dignified side. He was serious and dignified as he accepted the worship of the officials.

After the ceremony, Su Xiaolu and the others returned to the inner hall. Not long after, Zhou Zhuo arrived. He smiled and bowed to his parents before Zhou Zhi. He still called Zhou Zhi ‘Father’.

“Aunt, is Zhuo’er impressive? Is Zhuo’er awesome?”

In front of all the officials, Zhou Zhuo was a dignified emperor. He easily toyed with power. In front of his family, he was just Zhou Zhuo. He was a child. He was a brother and a junior.

Su Xiaolu was not stingy with her praise. “Zhuo’er is very impressive and handsome. Super awesome.”

Zhou Zhuo blushed slightly. Unfortunately, he did not have time to reunite with his family for long, so he went to the front hall.

The juniors were also gathered together and tactfully did not disturb the elders.

Su Xiaoling held Su Xiaolu’s hand and said, “Xiaolu, Brother Heng and I are going on a long trip soon. Now that the children have grown up, we’ve decided to go see these beautiful rivers and mountains.”

Zhou Wei, Zhou Xuan, Zhou Huan, and Zhou Qing were already married, so there was no need for them to worry. Guiyuan Academy had been established in the world for 20 years and had long been deeply rooted. In the blink of an eye, she was also old. She and Zhou Heng were in love and decided to go out to take a look.

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Alright, then I’ll wish you a safe trip and have fun..
