Great Ming: Exiled at the Start, I Practice Immortality and Get Caught by the Old Zhu

The twenty-third year of Hongwu.

The twelfth prince, Zhu Bai of Xiang, is exiled to Qiongzhou for three years of reflection because of the "Zhu Zi Case."

From then on, he devotes himself to the path of cultivating immortality and takes no interest in worldly affairs.

Just then, Zhu Yuanzhang awakens a life-simulation System that lets him hear the inner thoughts of his vassal princes.

Simulating Zhu Biao: "Your son has worked himself to the bone for half his life. Either way, he's going to die!"

Simulating Zhu Yunwen: "You useless fool! You think cutting down the vassal princes is some kind of game!"

Simulating Zhu Di: "Fourth Brother is way too bold. He's going to pacify the realm in the name of Heaven?!"

Wait!

Who was the one who helped Fourth Brother succeed, slaying hundreds of thousands with a single sword?

The twelfth prince?!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "My twelfth son, come back. What are you doing in that godforsaken place?"

Zhu Bai: "Cultivating immortality. Do not disturb."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Fine, I was wrong, all right? What can you even do in Qiongzhou? Don't tell me you can clear the seas of pirates?"

Zhu Bai: "Just wait. I'll wipe them out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "If you come back, everything will be yours!"

Zhu Bai: "As long as you don't make me come back, I can do anything!"
