However, Zhou Mu, who had just left the territory of Tian Shu County, was following behind his little ancestor with a helpless expression. He had to rest every three steps and was simply too exhausted to answer Jiang Jinyu's string of questions that came out like marbles.
Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Jiang Jinyu turned around and saw the lifeless Zhou Mu. Her handsome eyebrows immediately stood up and she said, "You can't even stand walking a few steps? I said, you're a man."
His dignity as a man had been trampled on, but at this moment, Zhou Mu couldn't muster any anger. He leaned against the tree, took a few deep breaths, and said helplessly, "Little ancestor, we've been walking for two whole days. When will you have a change of heart and let me get rid of this suffering soon?"
He meant to use spiritual power to fly directly there.
However, Jiang Jinyu interpreted it differently.
She smiled at Zhou Mu, slowly raising her fair palm. A milky-white spiritual light emanated from her hand. She softly said, "Alright, then I will free you..."
"No, I was just joking." Zhou Mu's expression changed, and he immediately forced himself to stay alert.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinyu chuckled a few times, then turned around and continued skipping forward.
At this moment, a streak of white streak flashed across the sky, swirling in a graceful arc in the air before crashing down like a falling meteor, heading straight for where Zhou Mu was.
"Danger!"
Jiang Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly, just as she was about to take action, but Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "No need."
After the snow-white falcon landed, it did not harm Zhou Mu, but instead obediently stood on Zhou Mu's shoulder. Zhou Mu gently brushed the snow-white feathers, opened the small cylindrical bamboo tube, and took out a letter from inside.
It was written by Lu Shan about Qian Qingyun.
After reading it, Zhou Mu's expression changed subtly. He then looked at Jiang Jinyu and said, "We may have to change our route."
"Where to?" Jiang Jinyu was clearly more interested in the snow-white falcon. When Zhou Mu spoke, she did not look up at him, but instead stroked the falcon's snow-white feathers.
The falcon was quite docile, keeping its feathers tucked in and remaining calm and still without making any unusual movements.
"The Great Dynasty".
Zhou Mudao.
Jiang Jinyu was about to nod when she noticed something amiss, her gaze fixed on the falcon. She finally looked up at Zhou Mu and asked, "What did that letter say?"
“Someone is about to fall into demonic possession.” Zhou Mu pondered for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth, since in the end he would probably still need Jiang Jinyu’s help.
Then he recounted the whole story, omitting everything that had been calculated using the crystal ball and simply stating some of their guesses.
After listening, Jiang Jinyu's expression gradually became serious. "Alright, I'll go with you, but this falcon..."
She pointed to the falcon, her meaning clear.
Zhou Mu smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that birds of prey like this are not suitable for domestication."
"All right."
Jiang Jinyu reluctantly gave up.
The two changed their route and set off for the Great Gan Dynasty.
This time, Jiang Jinyu suggested using spiritual power directly, otherwise by the time they arrived, it would be too late.
...
Great Gan Dynasty
Inside the Great Hall, Qian Long looked triumphantly at Qian Qingyun, who was bound under the Dragon-Trapping Formation. He chuckled, then sat cross-legged on the ground, admiring Qian Qingyun who was barely clinging to life. He slowly said, "You still underestimate me, hahaha... To tell you the truth, I am not from this world, so you can't beat me."
"What a coincidence... I'm not from this world either." Qian Qingyun, clinging to his last breath, looked up and lowered his eyes, smiling darkly.
"What?"
Qian Long's expression changed in surprise, and his eyes twitched erratically as he seemed to be considering the veracity of Qian Qingyun's words.
As Qian Qingyun lay dying, he said, "When I left, I was a programmer with a science and engineering background. I was working overtime writing code when I suddenly felt a blur before my eyes, and then I found myself here. I have a two-year-old daughter and a wife who loves me deeply..."
Qian Long could no longer calm down. He stood up abruptly, staring blankly at Qian Qingyun. At this moment, his breathing became heavier.
Only people on Earth know about these things. How could anyone in this world of advanced martial arts possibly know all this? The only explanation is that Qian Qingyun and he share the same identity.
However, he didn't feel that tearful feeling of seeing a fellow villager; instead, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
How many people like him are there in this place?
He said, "No wonder you haven't gotten married yet. It's not that you're impotent, but this is the reason."
Previously, there were rumors that the current crown prince of the Great Gan Dynasty was impotent. You know, in a dynasty where ordinary people have many wives and concubines, and even a seventh-rank official has dozens of concubines, the fact that the crown prince was all alone made people wonder about that.
"hehe!"
Qian Qingyun sneered, "Kill me, so I can return to my world. I've done my best to avenge my father and mother..."
What is your wife's name?
Qian Long suddenly asked.
This seemingly incoherent question startled Qian Qingyun, but he quickly realized that Qian Long was probably asking about his wife on Earth.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sun Wan."
Upon hearing this name, a fascinating expression suddenly flashed across Qian Long's face. He looked at Qian Qingyun, his brows furrowing slightly. "What a small world..."
"What do you mean?"
Qian Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unease instantly spread throughout his body.
Qian Long slowly said, "Your good sister... is not your father's biological daughter. She is the bloodline of the former Tianwu Emperor. Your mother begged the emperor for several days to save her from the executioner's blade. Afterwards, she adopted her as her goddaughter and told the outside world that she was the emperor's bloodline left behind among the common people."
Qian Qingyun was surprised to learn that he had never known these secrets. The unease in his heart grew stronger, and a bold guess slowly formed in his mind.
His eyes widened suddenly.
At this moment, Qian Long slowly said, "That's right, just as you thought, your dear sister's original name was Sun Wan!"
boom
A jumble of thoughts erupted in his mind, a taut string in his heart snapped, and in the midst of the chaos, it seemed to have taken away all of Qian Qingyun's rationality.
He thought death would be liberation, allowing him to return to his original world and continue his life with his beloved wife and daughter, treating everything here as nothing more than a vivid dream.
