Chapter 517 I am indeed from far away
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard came slowly.
Yi Qianhuan looked at the old man's attire and his eyes narrowed instantly.
The old man was dressed very casually, in a simple long-sleeved top and loose wide-leg pants, with a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. His wrinkled face was filled with a faint smile, and he looked so nonchalant.
With this outfit, he doesn't look like an ancient person, but rather like a modern person!
Ever since experiencing the incident with Qin Qiansui last time, Yi Qianhuan has been certain that there are other time travelers in this world besides her and the deceased Helian Ziyu.
But when she saw a person from the 21st century like herself appear in front of her, it was hard for her not to be surprised!
Yi Qianhuan could feel that Bei Yunting was observing his expression the whole time, but he never revealed any emotion and looked calm and composed.
"Master Wuchen's outfit is quite unique and looks very cool." Yi Qianhuan turned to look at Bei Yunting and asked, "Your Majesty, is Master Wuchen a member of a special race? I've heard that he has many rare costumes, and I think the one he's wearing is very special."
"I do come from a very far place." Master Wu Chen did not salute when he saw Bei Yunting. He simply nodded and sat down opposite Yi Qianhuan.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, no one broke the silence.
"As expected of you, Lord National God, your destiny is very mysterious. Even I cannot glimpse it with my divine eyes." Master Wuchen said with a smile. He took the initiative to extend his hand towards Yi Qianhuan, "Nice to meet you. I am Wuchen."
Yi Qianhuan looked at Wuchen's hand, then at Bei Yunting.
Bei Yunting was amused by Yi Qianhuan's bewildered look and reminded him, "There's no need to be confused, National God. This way of greeting is called a handshake, and it's the custom in Master Wuchen's hometown."
"There has long been no king in my hometown. We advocate equality for everything, so we are actually all the same people." Wu Chen said to Yi Qianhuan with a smile.
"Master Wuchen and I may be the same kind of people, but the emperor is the supreme ruler, the true dragon emperor. He is much more noble than the rest of us." Yi Qianhuan said this, tentatively extending his hand and shaking Wuchen's hand.
"It seems that the national god is really loyal to the emperor." Master Wu Chen sighed and sat down next to the two of them.
"The national god's loyalty to me has never changed, otherwise he would not have proposed to exchange souls, hoping to help me stay young forever." As he spoke, Bei Yunting looked at Yi Qianhuan with a more satisfied look than before.
Yi Qianhuan smiled and did not deny it: "Your Majesty asked me to see Master Wuchen today. Is it because he hopes that Master Wuchen can help me with the soul exchange?"
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from the National God. Master Wuchen is a renowned mystic master, and formerly the imperial family's personal mystic master. His strength is even greater than that of the former Imperial Master. He has always been responsible for protecting the imperial family, and is now over 130 years old." As Bei Yunting introduced Master Wuchen, his eyes lit up with an uncontrollable excitement and admiration.
Master Wuchen simply waved his hand and said calmly, "Living a long life is nothing to brag about. Too many worldly worries have entangled me, and I'm not very comfortable. I actually hope that one day I can pass away, and perhaps return to my original home."
"Master Wuchen is so powerful. If you want to go home, you can just ask the emperor for leave and go home. Why do you miss your hometown so much?" Yi Qianhuan said to Master Wuchen.
"Hehe, how can we go back to the 21st century on Blue Star whenever we want?" Master Wu Chen sighed and said dejectedly.
"Master Wuchen is also from the 21st century?" Yi Qianhuan pretended to be surprised, as if he had just understood what Master Wuchen said.
Master Wuchen raised his eyebrows and stared at Yi Qianhuan closely: "Could it be that the National God is also from the 21st century?"
Yi Qianhuan quickly waved his hand. "Master Wuchen has misunderstood. I have absolutely nothing to do with the 21st century. It's just that the Holy Son I met in Beiyou Country before also said he was from the 21st century. Not only that, he even wanted to create a world exactly like the 21st century."
Yi Qianhuan immediately told Master Wuchen everything he had seen in the Beiyou Kingdom's treasure house.
Pretending to be amazed throughout, Yi Qianhuan never revealed the fact that he was also from the 21st century. He described those skyscrapers from the perspective of an outsider.
"I never thought that there would be people like me in this world!" Master Wu Chen looked so excited that his breathing became rapid.
"Master Wuchen, don't get excited. Drink some tea and calm down first." After Master Wuchen drank the tea, Bei Yunting asked, "We were just chatting peacefully, why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
"Your Majesty, I have long said that I come from another world. I have always wanted to return to that world. Perhaps it is destiny that forbids me from returning, and therefore forbids my death. For all these years, I have not met anyone who has shared the same experience as me. I feel lonely. I once swore that if someone came from the same world as me, I would definitely give everything I have to my fellow countryman. But I didn't expect that after I finally found this person, he had already left me. There is no possibility for us to meet again."
Master Wuchen said this with a sorrowful tone, "If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to the treasure house of Beiyou Country to take a look and recall my past."
"Master Wuchen, it's not too late to go now. I happen to have a map to Beiyou Country, and I can send my people to escort Master Wuchen there. Master, don't worry, they all followed me to Beiyou Country last time, and they were all very surprised. I can guarantee Master Wuchen's safety." Yi Qianhuan said proactively.
"This..." Master Wu Chen didn't expect Yi Qianhuan to say this. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Bei Yunting beside him.
"Master Wuchen just said that he missed his hometown terribly, didn't he? If that's the case, why not go and take a look at the ruins of Beiyou Kingdom? You might be lucky enough to see some of your past memories there."
Seeing that Master Wuchen didn't respond, Yi Qianhuan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Could it be that Master Wuchen doesn't really want to go back, and what he just said was just a lie to deceive me and the emperor?"
"No, of course not. I do miss the past, but it is my duty to protect the royal family of Yunzhao Kingdom. I cannot abandon my responsibility because of my own selfish desires. Even if I want to go, I have to wait until the soul exchange is over before I can leave the emperor with peace of mind." Master Wu Chen said.
Bei Yunting pondered for a moment, "I'm well aware of Master Wuchen's concern for me. State God, I think you should discuss with Master Wuchen how to exchange souls."
