"Should I speak first?"

Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You should speak first. My matter is more serious. If you make a decision, you may have to leave Chang'an with me for a while."

"Leaving Chang'an?"

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, I'll go first, and you'll save yours for last."

After saying this, Yun Ye considered his words and said hesitantly, "You also know that I was not young in my previous life, and I had married and had children. After coming to this world, although I have accepted the fact of time travel, I still can't let go of the past to some extent."

"I understand." Lin Zhongtian nodded, "Go on."

Yun Ye sighed and said, "Li Er has a daughter born to a palace maid named Li Anlan. She looks exactly like my wife in my previous life, so when I first saw her, I planned to pursue her."

"But in the end, I found out that she and my wife were not the same person after all. Moreover, she was the daughter of Li Er, a princess of the Tang Dynasty. You should know very well what kind of people princesses of the early Tang Dynasty were like."

"I was a little disheartened and gave up on Li Anlan, which is why I met your current brother and sister-in-law later."

Lin Zhongtian said with great interest: "So, you are planning to rekindle your old love now?"

Yun Ye shook his head and said, "Not really."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and asked, "What is that?"

Yun Ye said with a complicated expression: "Li Chengqian secretly sent someone to the Yun Mansion today and told me a piece of news."

"There is a local king in Lingnan named Mengcha. Some time ago, he came to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor. He was so bold as to ask the emperor for marriage, and the emperor actually agreed..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhongtian finally knew which plot it was about.

He said with a strange expression: "You mean, the person to be married is Princess Li Anlan?"

Yun Ye nodded gently, his expression extremely complicated.

Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and asked, "Do you like Li Anlan?"

Yun Ye looked hesitant, as if he was unable to give an accurate answer to this question.

So Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Do you want Li Anlan to marry the local king from Lingnan?"

This time, Yun Ye shook his head without hesitation: "Of course not."

Not to mention letting Li Anlan marry the Lingnan local king, even imagining the scene of Li Anlan marrying another man would make Yun Ye feel an uncontrollable rage and murderous intent in his heart.

Looking at Yun Ye's gradually cooling expression, Lin Zhongtian nodded in understanding.

"So, you don't love Li Anlan, you just cherish her body and love your wife in your previous life. You can't give Li Anlan the same love as your wife, but you don't want other men to touch that body that is exactly the same as your wife's."

"I think it should be okay, right?"

Yun Ye's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a while, he nodded.

In this world, only Lin Zhongtian could understand his feelings for Li Anlan, so there was no need for him to hide anything.

His feelings for Li Anlan were purely possessive and out of love for her, with nothing too beautiful mixed in.

It is indeed a bit disgusting to say this kind of thought, but it is also human nature. Only in front of Lin Zhongtian will Yun Ye open his heart like he does now and pour out those secret thoughts.

A gentleman judges by deeds rather than by heart; judging by the heart, no one in the world is perfect.

Although Yun Ye is a time traveler, he is also an ordinary person after all, so it is natural for him to have such troubles.

Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "What are you going to do now?"

Yun Ye came back to his senses and lowered his head dejectedly.

"To be honest, I don't know..."

"Yeah?"

Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and asked again: "What kind of person do you think Li Anlan is?"

Yun Ye said without hesitation: "Stubborn, strong-willed, and has a bad temper, just like my wife."

Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "Then do you think she is willing to marry the Lingnan local king?"

Yun Ye thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's very likely that he is unwilling."

He had seen the Lingnan local king named Mengcha in the court. Not only was he ugly, he was also short and dark, with a mouth full of yellow teeth. Not to mention Princess Li Anlan, even an ordinary Tang Dynasty woman would never be willing to marry such a man.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "In that case, I suggest you go meet with Li Anlan. If she really doesn't want to, you will have a reason to help her solve this problem."

"However, this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. Li Anlan will eventually get married, and you can't let her stay a virgin for you just because of your past life complex."

"To put it bluntly, if you really want to solve this problem, either let go of the past or just take her in. Stop hesitating here. You want to be a whore and also want to be a saint..."

Lin Zhongtian said the last sentence bluntly, directly removing Yun Ye's hypocritical mask and revealing the ugly truth.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's sudden change of tone in his criticism, Yun Ye was stunned, then filled with shame.

He sighed, "Brother is right... But it's not so easy to let go of this kind of thing. If Li Anlan only looked like my wife, it would be fine, but her body is exactly the same, even the positions of the moles on her body are exactly the same."

"Then you just marry her!"

Lin Zhongtian said without hesitation: "I know that there are two concepts fighting in your mind right now. You think that the equal monogamy of later generations is right, but you are also lucky and think that you can follow the local customs and have three wives and four concubines."

"But to be honest, the fact that you have such thoughts has already quietly tilted the scale deep in your heart."

"If you want to have a harem, then just be straightforward and open, and don't make up so many excuses for yourself."

Lin Zhongtian's words were very insightful, and it could be said that he had completely exposed Yun Ye's innermost thoughts. If it were someone else, Yun Ye would have been angry and left in anger.

But Lin Zhongtian is different. He is also a time traveler and can understand all of Yun Ye’s troubles. Yun Ye told Lin Zhongtian about this, perhaps hoping to get Lin Zhongtian’s approval.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Yun Ye's expression changed, sometimes frowning, sometimes ashamed.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Then I will go to the palace tonight and talk to Li Anlan."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and asked, "Have you made a decision?"

Yun Ye shook his head and said ashamedly, "How can it be so easy? I'm still struggling... No, I should say, I'm still being hypocritical. However, I have made up my mind about Li Anlan marrying the King of Lingnan. Even if I kill Meng Cha, I will never make it happen!"

Lin Zhongtian rolled his eyes: "Okay, then think about it carefully."

Yun Ye raised his head, looked at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Tell me about your story!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded, looked at Yun Ye and said softly: "You should have a lot of guesses about my identity and origins, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Ye's expression immediately became solemn.

He subconsciously glanced at the staircase, as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry. There are only you and me inside and outside the attic at this moment. Even if there are other people here, they will definitely not be able to hear what I say."

Another method of condensing sound into lines?

Yun Ye nodded to show that he understood.

Lin Zhongtian continued: "Now I tell you, no matter what you guess, to some extent, it is true."

Are...are they all true?!

Yun Ye was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Even if I guess you are an immortal?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and said, "You can be even bolder."

Yun Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared at Lin Zhongtian in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "You may be wondering why I have kept it a secret for so long, but today I suddenly want to reveal my true colors to you."

"Let me put it this way, if there really is a Baiyujing in this world, it must be the place behind me!"

At this point, Lin Zhongtian paused and said seriously: "Not long ago, the place behind me was officially connected to this world. If you want, I can take you away at any time to see the truth of the world!"

"Wait a minute!"

Yun Ye suddenly interrupted Lin Zhongtian, holding his forehead, and murmured in a low voice: "Too much information, let me digest it for a while."

Lin Zhongtian closed his mouth and looked at Yun Ye with a smile.

After a while, Yun Ye seemed to digest the news. He frowned and said in disbelief: "You mean, a place similar to Baiyujing really exists, and you can take me there?"

"That's right."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said with a smile: "However, whether to go or not depends on your own choice."

Yun Ye said without hesitation: "Yes, of course, why not?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "Don't be so hasty to make a decision. I told you that Baiyujing is already connected to this world. You can go to Baiyujing with me at any time."

"So, I suggest you think carefully about whether to go to Baiyujing now, or wait until you have lived a peaceful and wonderful life, and then go to Baiyujing with me..."

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Yun Ye looked at him blankly.

After a moment, he hesitated and said, "You mean, if I go to Baiyujing, it will be difficult for me to come back?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "Of course not."

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "That is, one day in heaven is one year on earth. If I go to Baiyujing, will the world be completely different after I come back?"

"Well, there is indeed a certain difference in the speed of time flow, but the deviation is not that big."

"So what on earth is there to consider?"

At this moment, Yun Ye became completely confused.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Lin Zhongtian sighed and said, "Entering Baiyujing now will allow you to be exposed to the deeper truth too early. By then, when you re-examine everything in front of you, you will feel that what you have done is meaningless."

"For example, you donated your craftsmanship and established an academy. These things that you worked so hard for will become worthless under the impact of Baiyujing."

"The peaceful life you once enjoyed will be gone forever because of this. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Zhongtian changed the subject and looked at Yun Ye in surprise.

Yun Ye's face was full of black lines, and he seemed to be staring at Yun Ye in silence.

After a moment, he sighed and said helplessly: "Brother, do you know who you just spoke like?"

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Who does he look like?"

Yun Ye said confidently: "Like a certain richest man who was interviewed, he confidently told me that he didn't like money and had never touched money, and he also told me not to accept charity so that I could enjoy the fun of starting from scratch!"

"Honestly, brother, don't you think this is a bit shameless?"
