Chapter 70 – Sea Route

Author’s Note:

A few clarifications:

1 – Today I’ve been busy with overtime and couldn’t update earlier. It’s unrelated to the readers, so I’m posting half a chapter to maintain my regular schedule.

2 – The setting changes were made primarily to avoid potential reports, not due to anyone’s comments.

3 – There’s no alteration to the outline. The outline is simply the general direction of the story. Temporarily not writing about time travel is just a matter of detail versus brevity. The story’s time span and plot volume remain unchanged. Essentially, I originally planned to convey experiences through letters, but now I’m adding some direct descriptions. This is a personal preference, not influenced by anyone. I decide how to best present the story based on what feels most engaging.

4 – This section focuses on Xu Chun broadening his horizons, accumulating experience and knowledge, and determining his future path. It isn’t a significant plot point in the overall story. Don’t assume I’m planning a Zheng He-style journey covering multiple countries over years. That’s an exaggeration. Your interest in such a storyline is understandable, but my knowledge base wouldn’t support it. This segment merely sets the stage for Xu Chun’s future endeavors in court, building his knowledge, experience, and network.”
