Gu Qingheng confronts Flame and his subordinates. Ming Guang easily repels an attack from Flame, revealing his superior strength. Gu Qingheng realizes that a captive nailed to a wall is actually Chengzi and resolves to rescue her. He then questions Flame about the purpose of their operation and the exploitation of laborers.

"Immoral? Heartless?" Flame chuckled, "No, I am giving them an opportunity. To offer strength and life to the true ruler of the world is something to be proud of."

Gu Qingheng felt a strong urge to swear. Beaten to death and still proud? Proud of what, his great-grandmother?

"And my main purpose is to restore this world to its rightful order, to return the world to whoever it should rightfully belong."

"Isn’t everything normal now? Isn’t the world now in the hands of the Qi family?"

"Gu Qingheng, you’re well-read, don’t you know the development of history? Does the Qi family have the right to rule this world?"

"Development of history?"

"When the Northern Song fell, the most qualified to become emperor was King Kang, Zhao Gou. Unfortunately, King Kang was betrayed by a servant, Zhao Cheng." Flame sneered, "An unworthy being seized this world, leading to the current state. It’s all wrong, and what I must do is return the world to its rightful lineage."

Gu Qingheng frowned, "It’s been hundreds of years, isn’t your idea quite laughable?"

"No." Flame shook his head, "As long as Zhao Gou’s bloodline remains, then this idea is not laughable. This world should belong to the Zhao family."

"Hehe." Gu Qingheng sneered, "Zhao Gou’s bloodline? Don’t tell me you’re Zhao Gou’s descendant."

Flame snorted, "So what if I am?"

"So nothing." Gu Qingheng shook his head, "After all these years, even if you’re Zhao Gou’s descendant, how can you prove it? According to my understanding, you actually have ambitions of your own but know rebellion lacks public support, so you’re using ancient figures from hundreds of years ago as leverage to legitimize your cause."

Unexpectedly, Flame shrugged, "You’re very smart, so believe whatever you want to."

Gu Qingheng almost burst out laughing in anger.

"I have already opened my heart to you." Flame looked at Gu Qingheng, "So, shouldn’t we talk about our matters next?"

"What’s there to talk about between us?"

"Do you know why I let you visit my base?"

"Trying to make me scared or compromise?"

"No." Flame shook his head, "I want to invite you to join us."

"Recruiting me?" Gu Qingheng laughed in disbelief, "Your idea is quite dangerous."

"I admire you and sincerely invite you to join our mission to set things right. In the future, you’ll be second to none."

"Did you try recruiting Prince Yun the same way?"

"Him?" Flame shook his head, "No, I captured him to bargain with Emperor Xuanjing and then use him as an example. Unfortunately, you rescued him, which proves he’s not as good as you."

"Then I truly appreciate your compliment." Gu Qingheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "But sadly, I’m not interested."

"No rush to answer," Flame waved his hand, "It’s not like you can leave anyway, so you have plenty of time to think it over. As for those outside Linzi, I’ll deal with them gradually. If they’re smart, they won’t resist, and then they might still meet you again, otherwise..."

"You don’t want the King’s Seal from Miaojiang?"

"That thing is nothing but a chicken rib to me." Flame snorted disdainfully.
