Chen Xiao originally wanted to inquire about Qian Yun, but she was afraid that Yuan Yin would be reminded of her painful past, so she looked at Yuan Yin and pursed her lips.
Yuan Yin seemed to sense what Chen Xiao wanted to ask, clicked her tongue, and flicked her nose with her finger, pretending to be angry, saying, "You, I've told you before, there's no need for such hesitation between us. Here you go again. Could it be that you've become emperor and no longer want to be close to me?"
It must be said that, in a way, the vowel is indeed the truth.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated and asked Yuan Yin, "I wanted to ask about Aunt Qianyun. After Uncle left, what did you say... do you know anything about it?"
Yuan Yin nodded. She had been planning to bring this up at some point, and now that Chen Xiao had brought it up, she naturally told him everything. "That's right. I was looking for a time to tell you, and it's good to tell you now, but it's a long story, and the people outside will probably have to stand there for a long time."
Huh~
The stench of love is overwhelming! I'm worried Xu Ruyan might get tired of standing there too long!
Chen Xiao's eyes were full of teasing, making Yuan Yin blush before he told her, "After you came in, Ye Qi had already invited them to sit in the side hall. Tea and snacks were served~ They definitely won't get too tired~"
"You naughty Xiao Xiao! You're teasing me again!" Yuan Yin glared at her before revealing the secret to Chen Xiao---
It turns out that Chu Qianyun and Li Yuan already knew their lifespans.
When Yuan Yin was fourteen, Chu Qianyun told her that she felt her time was coming to an end and that she might only be able to stay with her for another six months. She also told her about her past.
It was then that she learned that her adoptive brother, Qi Yanyun, was actually the child of the person who had hurt her mother.
But Chu Qianyun told her these things not to fill her heart with hatred and go to Qi Yuan, nor to sow discord between her and Qi Yanyun.
I just wanted to tell her my personal experience before I left, so that Yuanyin would not be too naive and kind in her dealings with people and things, and would not misjudge people.
When Chu Qianyun said these things, not only were Li Yuan and Qi Yanyun present, but Chu Yanxi was also there.
Chu Yanxi gave a direct summary: Don't let your mind be clouded by love!
But none of them knew what the word meant, so Chu Yanxi spent a long time explaining it to them, and in the process, she also introduced them to a lot of new knowledge.
For example, words like 'PUA' and 'hello' are in a tone they don't understand, as are words like 'milk tea' and 'hot pot' which are foods they've never seen before, and even things like 'cell phone' and 'internet memes'... and so on.
What?! Chu Yanxi is a modern person?!
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao was shocked and accidentally spoke out.
Yuan Yin was interrupted, stopped and looked at her, asking in confusion, "Who... is that person?"
Before Chen Xiao could answer Yuan Yin, he frantically called out to Xi Xi in his mind, "Hey! Yan Xi isn't that the failed mission participant, is she?!"
Good heavens, the volume is up! This deafening roar almost ruptured my eardrums!
Xi Xi muttered to herself, then quickly put down her milk tea, covered her ears with one hand, and hurriedly turned down the volume with the other.
Originally, she was going to fool Chen Xiao as usual, but then she suddenly remembered what Qian Yi had said: "The God said that 003 can be told anything she wants to know."
Xi Xi didn't understand, but she didn't dare to disobey the God's orders. So she pouted and, imitating the God's unfathomable appearance, deliberately changed to a mechanical voice before answering Chen Xiao, "Yes and no."
Yes or no?
Chen Xiao remained silent. This mechanical voice, this classic turtle soup response, made her feel as if she had returned to the past—those days when she was tormented by turtle soup.
In her spare time, she likes to play turtle soup with her roommates, although she always loses.
But this time, the answer is somewhat understandable.
Because she only asked one question: Was Yan Xi a failed mission participant? If yes or no, there was only one possibility.
Yan Xi was a mission taker, but not a failed mission taker.
After Chen Xiao realized the truth, he was dumbfounded.
Chu Yanxi is actually a mission participant?!
And she wasn't the one who failed! That proves that Chu Yanxi's mission was successful, and the one who failed was someone else.
Excluding Chu Yanxi, the only people with the surname Chu left in the Ye Dynasty are Chu Qiaoling and Chu Qianyun.
Which of the two of them failed the mission?
For some reason, Chen Xiao was inclined to believe that Chu Qianyun was the failed mission taker, because Chu Qianyun's life trajectory was far too uneventful compared to Chu Qiaoling's.
She was deposed as heir apparent, deceived in her feelings, and later married and had children.
However, Chu Qiaoling overthrew the Rong Dynasty and became the founding emperor of the Ye Dynasty. He not only put forward many new ideas, but also carried out reforms and innovations, developed the economy, and set countless precedents.
No matter how you compare them, Chu Qiaoling has made more contributions.
However, it is also possible that the person's task was not very significant, and Xi Xi did not issue any major task at all.
In any case, we still need to figure out what kind of tasks Xi Xi likes to issue.
"Xiao Xiao, are you alright?" Yuan Yin couldn't help but worry when she saw that Chen Xiao hadn't spoken for a long time and was just staring blankly into space.
Hearing Yuan Yin's concern interrupt Chen Xiao's thoughts, he finally came back to his senses, focused his gaze on her, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"What happened to you just now? Is that something I can't say?" Yuan Yin asked curiously. Why did Chen Xiao say that his mother was a... Xiandai person? What did that mean?
Just as Chen Xiao was still hesitating, unsure how to answer, Xi Xi suddenly switched back to her human voice and said, "I know you really want to say, but regarding these questions, our Yuan Realm has a rule: those who complete a mission must not disclose the mission to non-mission takers during the mission's duration. Non-mission takers include people from this realm and those who have mutated. Once you tell them, you will bear the consequences."
He paused for a moment before continuing to explain to Chen Xiao:
"An aberrant refers to someone who, during their lifetime, sensed a problem with this interface, but died with unfulfilled wishes and deep-seated resentment, transcending their original interface and becoming known to the dimensional world. You heard Qianyi mention the aberrant before... Five years have passed now, and she remains trapped in the spatial rift, still not awakened."
Chen Xiao listened attentively and quietly to what Xi Xi said, and fully understood the rules of the Yuan Realm.
Because this world is real, and so are the people here. And there is no such thing as supernatural forces or strange phenomena now. Some people can accept 'gods and immortals,' but what about someone like her from another world?
Just as many locals today discriminate against outsiders, it's unclear how the locals here would react if they knew she was from out of town.
And then there's this mutant. She's read many novels, so she naturally understands what's going on. Simply put, it's that a local awakened, learned some secrets about the interface, died with something unfinished, and was then picked up by Xi Xi and the system.
It's very similar to a book she had read before, in which a fictional character awakened and took actions that changed the course of the plot.
However, the difference is that there are no plot restrictions here.
