Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"You..." Li Huoyue was not sure about Xu Jiao'er's evaluation. He felt that her thinking was not like that of a normal adult. He considered the choice of words for a long time before asking, "In your country, 18 is considered an adult, right?"

Although Xu Jiao'er didn't know why Li Huoyue asked, she still answered proudly, "Of course! In our place, both boys and girls have to go to school for a long time when they are young. It's not like here, where you have to talk about getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. When I was thirteen, my mother scolded me for reading romance novels!"

When the word "mom" was mentioned, both of them fell silent.

It was Li Huoyue who came to his senses first and started to walk down the stairs, saying, "So, were you an adult when you arrived in the Southland?"

"Of course!" Xu Jiao'er also followed him downstairs. The building still made a loud creaking sound, but this time she was busy talking to Li Huoyue and didn't care so much. "Minors are not allowed to travel through time."

"what?!"

Li Huoyue didn't know where Xu Jiaoer got the information, and he suspected that Xu Jiaoer had just made it up.

"How did you know?" Li Huoyue was afraid that Xu Jiao'er would not say anything, so he added, "You didn't even know that the South Country did not allow time travelers, let alone that there were other time travelers in the South Country. Why did you suddenly know this? Is this a rule you dreamed of?"

Xu Jiaoer had a strong sense of self-esteem and would not tolerate Li Huoyue's words, which made her look like a fool who was talking nonsense.

"You've never traveled through time, so of course you don't know!"

Xu Jiaoer always feels proud when she mentions her identity.

She felt that she came from a more advanced civilization and was different from these pedantic ancients.

"The body that is suitable for traveling through time must have an age difference with the traveler, and the traveler must be older. The smaller the suitable body, the greater the difference and the more suitable it is. If the smallest suitable body is chosen, the difference must be at least 12 or more."

Seeing that Li Huoyue's face looked a little unhappy, Xu Jiaoer felt even better. She walked in front of Li Huoyue while talking.

"And in the chosen body, there will be no children under the age of six!"

Li Huoyue frowned. She had never heard of this rule before. However, since there were records of time travelers in the South, there were indeed no time travelers under the age of six.

But Xu Jiaoer had never read the case, and even if she had, she wouldn’t understand what was written. So where did she get the information from?

"Impossible, you are talking nonsense." Li Huoyue denied, "So many time travelers have been captured, why has no one mentioned this?"

"You've already arrested the person, and you still expect him to tell you?" Xu Jiaoer felt that it was rare for Li Huoyue's question to be so naive.

Li Huoyue sighed, and his heart felt particularly heavy when he thought of those time travelers who had passed away.

In the past, I didn’t feel any danger because my mother was with me. But later, not only was my mother missing, but my father was also lost.

Her father's position as Special Inspector was in jeopardy, and she was not allowed by the Emperor to become the new Special Inspector.

If my father or Li Huoyue made any mistakes, I'm afraid...

"Nan Guo, there are plenty of ways to make you tell the truth."

Li Huoyue's voice was tinged with emotion, which made Xu Jiaoer feel a chill on her back. She quickly took two more quick steps.

Perhaps it was too quiet, Xu Jiaoer continued:

"...Of course, it is not ruled out that there were too few choices for the body to adapt to, so he was passively chosen. It's just possible, because I heard that Sang Baohe didn't seem to choose it himself. He was already Sang Baohe when he opened his eyes."

Li Huoyue listened silently without expressing any opinion.

This matter was completely beyond her understanding.

When she traveled through time, she had no choices and no one told her any rules. The moment she opened her eyes, she became Li Huoyue.

When she reached the moon-shaped archway leading into the courtyard, Xu Jiaoer slowly stopped, crushing ants on the ground with her toes, and looking back from time to time, obviously waiting for Li Huoyue.

When Li Huoyue also walked to the Moon Arch Gate, Xu Jiaoer asked in a low voice: "I... I really can't think of it. Can you, can you, can you give me a suggestion? Which direction should I think about it?"

"I do not……"

Xu Jiao'er took the lead, put her hands on her hips, and shouted loudly: "Don't say you don't know!"

"Xu Jiao'er, this is Li..."

Before Li Huoyue finished speaking, an anxious roar came from a distance: "Jiao'er! What are you doing?!!!"

The two people standing under the moon arch looked towards the source of the sound and saw Sang Fuqing running towards them in a hurry, shouting to stop Xu Jiaoer's behavior while running.

"Jiao'er!!! Don't be rude!"

Xu Jiao'er was stunned. She didn't know why Sang Fuqing yelled at her fiercely, "What did I do?"

She turned back and asked Li Huoyue, "Is it rude to talk with your hands on your hips?"

Li Huoyue asked back: "Why, is it polite to talk like this?"

Xu Jiao'er: "...That's not the case."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Sang Fuqing had already rushed over and immediately pulled Xu Jiao'er away. Before he could even catch his breath, he bowed and apologized to Li Huoyue:

"...Miss Li, I'm really...sorry! Jiao'er is ignorant...If she has offended me...I will apologize on her behalf. Please forgive me, Miss Li."

Xu Jiao'er was originally dissatisfied with Sang Fuqing for pushing her up without any reason, but after hearing these words, she was no longer willing to blame Sang Fuqing.

Li Huoyue didn't say anything, but Xu Jiaoer strode forward and looked at Li Huoyue with great joy.

He didn't say anything, but his whole face said, "Look, he loves me, speaks for me, and I win."

Li Huoyue didn't understand what Xu Jiaoer was showing off. The two people were concerned about completely different things, like two unrelated tracks.

She didn't quite understand why Xu Jiao'er, after seeing so many wonderful things in modern society, would still only focus on a seventh-rank official with no political achievements. She knew clearly that if she didn't work hard to find a way to save herself, she would die.

Xu Jiaoer agreed with Sang Fuqing's approach, but Sang Fuqing "convicted" Xu Jiaoer right away. Is this worth being happy about?

No rebuttal?

At least we should ask him why he didn't ask about the situation clearly, but just started saying words like "unreasonable", "offensive", and "apologize on her behalf"?

In Li Huoyue's eyes, Xu Jiaoer's show-off behavior was more like saying: Look, I have a master, and you don't.

Xu Jiaoer tilted her head slightly, admiring Li Huoyue's expression. She wanted to see Li Huoyue's lost, envious and jealous expression.

Unfortunately not.

Even the subtle feeling conveyed by that look made Xu Jiaoer suspect that she looked like a clown.

"Let's go quickly, both of you." Li Huoyue said.

She could already hear the footsteps of her sister-in-law and another person.

"...But, Miss Li, I haven't..."

Li Huoyue was too lazy to listen and just took a step forward to leave.
