Chapter 618 Visitors are Guests

Seeing the satisfied look on the little girl's face, Shi Liyuan asked her, "Did you really gain more confidence?"

She stamped her feet in anger, "Do you really have to ask? I'll just say it out loud. In fact, no one knows what the so-called catastrophe means. Is it the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth? Or is it a flood or a tsunami? We don't know anything. We are very passive in this matter. We can only wait for that day to come before we can think about how to deal with it. What's more, there is a prerequisite, the gathering of the five meridians. But when can the five meridians gather?"

She sighed, "I asked the Fourth Prince to help me sell the jewelry to faraway places. I also opened a clinic to teach medical skills and treated many people with the medical skills of our place. In addition, I also set up an aromatherapy shop. The purpose is only one, that is, one day someone will understand these things and come to find me.

Although I am very resistant to the coming of a natural catastrophe, I also know that it would most likely be a devastating disaster for ordinary people.

But what I don’t want to see even more is that more and more people die of natural causes on the day they reach the age of sixty.

The issue of human life span has been suppressed for hundreds of years, and it is time to solve it. Master Liyuan, I believe that one day humans will have a normal life span, but this is bound to come at a heavy price. When that time comes, will people thank you or resent you? Are they willing to continue as they are now, or are they willing to fight for a better future for their children and grandchildren? "

Shi Liyuan was unable to answer this question, so he could only tell her, "Both possibilities will happen. There will definitely be some people who are unwilling to face the calamity, but there will also be some people who are willing to live longer. In fact, when the time comes, not only will they face the calamity, but you and I will also face it. We may all lose our lives in that great calamity. So, are you willing to take the risk of death, or are you willing to follow the rules?" He paused, and then said, "If we put aside what you said about the reunion of the five veins, and just do it for all mankind."

Ye Wenyan didn't even think about it and said directly: "I am willing to take the risk! The word 'protection' is the common belief of the five veins, so no matter what the reason is, we have the obligation to protect mankind and this time and space. Not only do I think so, but the other veins also think so. So when that day comes, even if the five veins will not reunite, I will still embark on that road without hesitation."

She looked up at Shi Liyuan, with stars twinkling in her eyes. At this moment, the little girl looked particularly charming in Shi Liyuan's eyes.

"You think so too, right?" she asked him. "Although you always say that you put me first, and even say that if you can't even protect the girl you love, how can you protect the world. But we both know in our hearts that if something goes wrong in this world, you will give up everything and go forward without hesitation, right?" She smiled. "You don't have to deny it. People have to take on responsibilities according to their abilities. I will be proud of you if you take on the responsibility of this world, but if you give up the people for me, I may look down on you."

He listened to her words carefully, and not only did he feel that there were stars in the little girl's eyes, but also that the little girl's whole body was shining. It turned out that there really was a word called kindness in this world, and there was also a word called responsibility. It turned out that he had lived selfishly for more than four hundred years.

He took her hand, smiled and said to her: "To be able to protect the people and you is what I should be able to do. There is no choice between you and the people. I have been practicing against the will of heaven for more than 400 years, waiting for the day when the catastrophe will come. I can protect everyone I want to protect. Ah Yan, we will all live forever, from ancient times to the present, and in the future, forever and ever. The mysteries you want to solve will be solved one by one in the future, and the people you want to meet will all be met in the future."

He freed one hand to lift her hair. "I said before that this continent is not parallel to your world. They are in the same time and space, only three thousand years apart. You may not believe it. You said that if it is really the same place, then if you live to overlap with the future, there may be two of you, and that time and space will be misplaced again. In fact, it is not. If we really live to that era, and you really stand in the Ye family mansion to face all your relatives, there will not be two of you.

Ah Yan, have you forgotten that you are not who you will be in the future? You will definitely see yourself in the future, because you are now Miss Ye Si of the First-Rank General's Mansion!"

Ye Wenyan suddenly realized that she had thought wrong. She was now Miss Ye Si, a different person, so when time moved forward to the later era, she would not meet two of herself. Ye Wenyan was Ye Wenyan, and Miss Ye Si was Miss Ye Si, just like the soul living in Ye Lianmian's body now looking at her, although it was also herself, but from a biological point of view, they were two different people.

"The moment the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared, I knew that there was a big problem in this space and time." Shi Liyuan said, "It's a pity that I can't explore it alone. Now that I have you, it's time to solve the mystery that has lasted for hundreds of years."

The imperial palace held a luncheon to entertain Crown Prince Su Yuan.

No matter what, those who came from afar are guests, not to mention that the Su Yuan people brought gems, batik, and spices as gifts. The group smiled and presented great gifts to Quan Qingcheng.

As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. Even though Quan Qingcheng was afraid of the Crown Prince Su Yuan, he still treated him with courtesy. After all, Northern Qi was a big country, many times bigger than Su Yuan. As the king of a big country, he couldn't just turn his face away from the crown prince of a small country.

The Third Prince Quan Qingyun was present at the luncheon. The Regent also came to the palace and had a pleasant conversation with Crown Prince Su Yuan.

Quan Qingcheng felt dizzy when he saw the white hair of Prince Su Yuan, so he whispered to Quan Qingyun who was sitting next to him: "Third brother, have you seen this prince before? I think he is not very old, not much older than me, how come he has fewer white hairs?"

Quan Qingyun shook his head, "I have never seen him either. The last time Su Yuan came to Northern Qi was more than ten years ago, and at that time he was just an envoy. It is said that this prince has been raised in the deep palace since he was born, and he rarely even leaves the Su Yuan Palace."

At this point, he recalled some gossip about Su Yuan, so he continued, "It is said that the prince was born to a favorite concubine of the King of Su Yuan, not to the Queen of the Central Palace, but the King insisted on making him the prince when the child was three years old. Because of this incident, the Queen killed the favorite concubine in a rage, but she died not long after. It is rumored that the King killed the Queen just to avenge the favorite concubine, but some people also said that it was the three-year-old prince who put drugs in the Queen's food. The Queen was not on guard against the three-year-old child, so she fell into his trap. The prince's white hair is natural. At that time, the high priest of Su Yuan predicted that this child would either be a blessing for Su Yuan or a disaster for Su Yuan. Some people suggested disposing of him, but the King still wanted to try the half chance of Su Yuan's blessing."

Quan Qingcheng was just listening to a story. He didn't care about the good fortune or disaster. He just wanted to know why such a monster-like prince suddenly came to Northern Qi. He even entered the palace openly and gave so many gifts, but he didn't say what his intention was. He only said that the two countries had not had formal exchanges for many years, and he came as a guest to greet the new emperor of Northern Qi on behalf of the monarch.

"Hmph." Quan Qingcheng was a little unhappy. This person was not here to greet him, the new emperor, but to reminisce with the regent. But when did this prince and the regent have a past? Why didn't he know anything?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but blame the late emperor in his heart. Since his name was written on the edict of succession, why didn't he train him in advance? At least he could have broadened his horizons and learned more about the outside world, so that he wouldn't have to sit here like a fool, unable to get a word in.

This was his fault. He had been reading the classics every day for the past six months, but he had neglected Su Yuan. Because the two countries really had no exchanges, and there had never been a war, they had always been good to each other, so over time, everyone forgot about Su Yuan. Except for occasionally when the palace got a few more pieces of batik fabric, they would remember him at all.

Seeing Quan Qingcheng depressed, Quan Qingyun patted his shoulder to comfort him. Before he could say anything, he saw Prince Su Yuan looking over at them, smiling evilly and saying to Quan Qingcheng, "Why is the emperor only talking to the Third Prince and ignoring me? Do you think I am just a prince of a small country and not worthy of talking to you? Yes, the Emperor of Northern Qi is so high-ranking, how can he look down on a small country like us in the desert? In fact, it is a great honor for Su Yuan to let the Regent accompany me here."

Quan Qingcheng took a deep breath and was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, but then he heard the regent rush to say, "Your Highness, you are overthinking. Our new emperor has only been on the throne for half a year and has not yet taken charge of the government. He is still ignorant about the relationship between the two countries. This is not targeting you, Your Highness. Even if the person who came today was a prince from another country, our emperor would have the same attitude."

Quan Qingcheng frowned when he heard this. Was he being scolded for being ignorant?

Who would have thought that the regent hadn't finished speaking yet: "Prince Su Yuan, you don't know that the previous emperor of our country passed away suddenly, and there were many things that were not explained and dealt with in time. The new emperor had always been a mute, and he could only speak on the day of the previous emperor's death. Therefore, he has not received the same teaching as you, the prince, and has not even been to the Imperial College. Therefore, it is still difficult for him to express some things. Fortunately, the emperor is not in power, so he still has time to learn slowly."

"A mute being the emperor?" Crown Prince Su Yuan raised the corners of his mouth again, "The people of Northern Qi are really willful and bold. Such a person dares to ask for the throne. He really doesn't take this foundation of hundreds of years seriously!" "Prince Su Yuan, please respect yourself!" Quan Qingyun spoke, "Everyone who comes is a guest. We in Northern Qi treat you with courtesy, but there are also etiquette for entertaining guests. This is the only way to reflect the teachings of Su Yuanguo to you. Your Highness the Crown Prince must not want to leave a reputation of being sarcastic and taking the initiative in Northern Qi, not to mention that sarcastic words are mostly used to describe women."

As soon as these words came out, a layer of coldness immediately covered the face of Prince Su Yuan...
