The array at the entrance to the treasure of the previous dynasty has already been modified by Su Li. Anyone with the Li Family bloodline can enter.
Coupled with the map redrawn by Su Li, finding them is not very difficult.
Half a year later, Ah Dong returned with a group of people, bringing back a full cartload of gold and silver jewelry, ornants for the Hua Mansion.
In addition to that, Ah Dong had a strange expression. When he looked at Su Li, he always seed to have sothing unspoken.
Soon he couldn’t hold back anymore and sought Su Li alone to speak.
"Did you know all along?"
Su Li: "Know what?"
Ah Dong said: "Know those rebellious thoughts, that in this world n should be respected, how could..."
Su Li retorted: "So you only brought back these trivial items, but the truly precious ones you discarded like trash?"
"The inherited knowledge left by the founding Empress of Chao Country, you actually consider it rebellious thought, male supremacy — you dare to say that, should I call your sister-in-law to listen?"
Seeing the situation, the aggressive deanor of Ah Dong suddenly turned submissive, waving his hand repeatedly, "You are too cunning and insidious."
In the Treasure Land, Su Li not only discovered wealth but also various works of thought gathering the strengths of a hundred schools, many classics already lost to ti. This is the most precious thing here.
Su Li even discovered a secret: it was actually left by the founding Empress of Chao Country.
And she found an autobiography written by the Empress herself.
Now, this book lies in Su Li’s hands, and she hasn’t told anyone.
The revelations in this autobiography suggest that the great and formidable woman was very likely a transmigrator who unintentionally crossed ti boundaries.
Her life was grand and magnificent, accompanying the Great Ancestor from an ordinary start to achieving majestic strategies.
She was not only the financial backing before the Great Ancestor’s success but also his most formidable strategist. It could be said that half of Chao Country’s kingdom’s success was due to her.
But, change of heart is easy; once the Great Ancestor succeeded, she beca the person he most feared.
After her power was gradually taken away, she beca just an ordinary woman in the imperial harem.
Just one among the many beauties left behind by the Great Ancestor.
It was widely said that the Great Ancestor had deep affection and respect for his first wife, giving her dignity and respect.
Neither the Noble Consort he cherished the most nor Liang Pin could surpass her.
Flowing concubines, yet the Empress remained steadfast.
The Ti Travel Girl wrote this line in her autobiography, and through the old paper, Su Li could feel her sarcasm and resentnt.
But she was not one to be underestimated, even confined in the Emperor’s harem, she managed to secretly create a Treasure Land beneath his gaze.
Any descendant of the Li Family with her bloodline could enter to receive her inheritance and the gifts she left for her descendants.
She could not bear her descendants slowly being assimilated into this era, becoming carriers of decay.
She was moved by the Great Ancestor initially because he was unlike other n in his vision.
He showed great respect and tolerance for herself, but ultimately, it was he who first wavered.
----------
Seeing the solemn Ah Dong beco flushed from anger, Su Li would never relent, asking, "How did you obtain the things you brought back?"
Su Li’s half-smiling expression made Ah Dong stomp his foot in anger.
Ah Dong did not want to recall the scene after entering the Treasure Land.
Without passing the founding Empress’s test, none of the goods inside could be brought out.
The test she left behind was exceedingly peculiar.
The people Ah Dong brought must read and comprehend a whole box of books to genuinely answer the questions; otherwise, forget finding treasure, even leaving would be impossible, just a fools’ dream.
Over the span of half a year, apart from Ah Dong and a few, several are still stuck within the Treasure Land unable to co out.
All these people were among the eldest, their outdated thoughts already deeply ingrained, resisting easy change.
No one expected the Ti Travel Girl to have such ans; had she been a bit more ambitious back then, there would have been no Great Ancestor.
However, after such an experience, the Ti Travel Girl’s predecessor’s thoughts beca sowhat radical, largely advocating feminism.
No matter what thoughts exist, they have unique aspects and narrow-minded aspects; one cannot judge them entirely.
For the excessively radical and unfair comnts left by the Ti Travel Girl, Su Li chose not to let them appear before Ah Dong and others.
The remaining ones were warm and rational writings of thought.
Yet, the people of the Demon Sect, who had been secluded for years, accepted these differing worldviews faster than Su Li anticipated; even Ah Dong, conflicted for a mont, soon sent his daughter to the Treasure Land for study under his wife’s glare.
Through three cycles of spring, sumr, fall, and winter, the once remote village had greatly transford.
Magnificent palace pavilions stood towering in the mountains, and giant city walls enveloped hundreds of miles around.
Among the good things left by the previous dynasty’s Empress, besides wealth, there were recipes for cent, glass, soap, manufacturing of farming tools, and weapons.
Back then, she hadn’t had the chance to bring these out before the Emperor seized her authority, almost confining her.
Just one of these items could have brought compromise from the founding Emperor, despite his fears of her; her fate wouldn’t have been one of lancholy.
But she was unwilling — why, after the other party broke her trust, did she as the most injured party still have to find ways to compensate?
In her elder years, the Ti Travel Girl still chose to leave these things for her descendants, cherishing her unique experience.
Really curious, if that man knew of these, what kind of expression he would have?

"This ti, I definitely won’t be soft-hearted; I will personally and bloodily strike down that vile woman who hard so."
"Father, rest assured, I will help you."
The bonfire burning in the night, no matter how warm, couldn’t scorch away the chill and venom overflowing from this conversation.
The two heads huddled together speaking were none other than the reunited father and son, Zhuge Silang and Zhuge Letian.
Two n appearing similar in age yet calling each other father and son would indeed stir so bewildered feelings.
These strange pair, no matter how you look, didn’t give off a good vibe.
Zhuge Silang occasionally hamred his aching legs, unable to stop coughing forcefully a few tis; wearing many clothes, he still felt damp and cold.
Ever since his Dantian was crippled, his health had severely declined; unable to face reality, he spent so absurd days, and now found himself worse off than the average person, unable to endure even a bit of walking.
The branding on his forehead, in a mont of ruthlessness, he scorched away with a hot iron.
