After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"It's fine now... By the way," Shen Yan suddenly asked, "What did you feed me just now?"

He had felt it a long time ago. Before being poured into the glass of water, he felt drowsy all over, but after drinking that glass of water, it was like a long drought finally ending in rain, and he was reborn!

And as for that outsider, how did Zhong Ning know that there was someone in his body?

All of this is really too weird.

When Shen Yan thought of this, he suddenly remembered that time in Kaoshan Village... Yes, she was not Xu Xiaocao, she was a fairy who had descended to the earth.

Fairies have their own ways.

How could he be worthy of a fairy?

No, that's not right, fairies are just his imagination.

Now that he had just experienced the experience of having his body snatched away by a spirit from another world, he suddenly realized that Xu Xiaocao had also had her body snatched away by a spirit from another world, just like him today.

Therefore, this Zhong Ning was not the fairy he had imagined, but a spirit from another world who specialized in snatching human bodies, just like that man.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan's eyes suddenly became complicated.

He should have realized it.

During this period, he inquired about everything about Princess Zhaohua since she came to Beijing. She was mysterious, noble, skilled in martial arts, and sharp-tongued. At the Chongyang Palace Banquet, she single-handedly suppressed the envoys from the three countries.

Afterwards, he was the first to discover that the prince had been poisoned by the Nanzhao princess, and used this to instigate Emperor Yong to wage war against Nanzhao.

This was the first time in a hundred years of peace that Dayong had drawn its sword to the outside world, and it was fought under the guise of defending its dignity and protecting the crown prince.

To this day, the two countries are still in a border standoff, and the world situation is on the verge of breaking out.

These are absolutely impossible for a village girl who grew up in a mountain village and can't even read to do.

Now, she took action again, driving out the spirit from another world in her body...

Who is she?

What is his purpose in seizing Miss Xiaocao's body and causing trouble in Dayong?

Shen Yan slowly sat up straight, his eyes becoming sharp.

Zhong Ning frowned slightly, and suddenly thought that Shen Yan came out of Kaoshan Village with him, and now he has experienced the incident of having his body stolen, so he is very likely to have realized it.

Zhong Ning's eyes turned indifferent. Meeting Shen Yan's inquiring gaze, he said bluntly, "You already knew this a long time ago, right? There are some strange things about me..."

Shen Yan lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously fiddling with the quilt. After a long moment, he muttered, "Yes, I know. You're not Miss Xiaocao... She can't even read... She can't possibly know martial arts. I met her a few times when I was young... Every time, she lowered her head and silently endured everything... Especially..."

Zhong Ning knew what he was referring to, especially since she turned around and crippled the original owner's eldest brother!

This is not an act of resistance that a little village girl who grew up being abused can do.

Shen Yan unconsciously avoided Zhong Ning's sight, but thinking that Miss Xiaocao might have had the same experience as him, he didn't care about much and asked in a low voice:

"Are you...are you the same as that person..."

"That person? That person? Are you referring to the alien spirit that just competed with you for your body?" Zhong Ning's lips curled slightly, his eyes cold.

"Yes... I am like him, a spirit from another world, but the difference between us is that he locked onto the target, while I was passively inserted."

"To be honest, when I woke up in this body, Xu Xiaocao was already dead. She died under the scorching sun, under the oppression of her family, and under the mockery and indifference of the entire village."

"So I came. I came to avenge her, to help her find her parents, and to help her get out of that place she's never been able to leave in her entire life!"

Shen Yan was stunned and stood there, unable to help but explain: "She...she was laughed at by her parents...I didn't laugh at her..."

"You're saying you didn't mock her background, didn't ignore her suffering, and that everything she has is due to her parents... and that it's not up to others to interfere? So you're not wrong, and so are all the villagers..."

Zhong Ning sneered and stood up suddenly, "But so what?"

"Who in the village didn't know that the Xu family suddenly brought back two children from outside? The girl was adopted as a slave in their home, and the boy was sold to a childless family in the same village?"

"Which of them doesn't know that Xu Xiaocao was abused all the way to her childhood in the Xu family?"

"Even you, you've encountered it before. You've experienced her crying, you've experienced her embarrassment..."

Zhong Ning's voice dropped slightly, and he looked directly at Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, I want to ask you, have you ever offered her a helping hand?"

"Even if it's just giving her a small piece of dry food or even a word of comfort when she's crying out of hunger?"

Shen Yan:..........

Shen Yan lowered his head in silence. He had always been a loner. Even though he had seen Xu Xiaocao's helplessness and embarrassment, he had never spoken to her, let alone paid any attention to her.

He just walked past her indifferently as usual, pretending he saw nothing and nothing happened.

He never thought he was wrong, but when he heard Zhong Ning's questioning today, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little too cold-hearted.

Zhong Ning's voice was as cold as ever:

"You didn't... You're just like everyone else in this village. You don't speak when it doesn't concern you. You don't care about other people's suffering. Of course, I don't blame you, nor do I want to morally blackmail you."

"What I want to tell you is that I didn't kill Xu Xiaocao. She had already died from the Xu family's indifference and oppression before I arrived."

"So, I have a clear conscience. I took over her body, avenged her, and sent the entire Xu family to prison..."

"If you can accept this, then accept it. If you can't accept it..."

Shen Yan interrupted Zhong Ning and continued, "If you can't accept it, you'll kill me, right?"

Just as Zhong Ning was about to answer, Shen Yan continued, "I want to know, who are you? Where are you from? What do you want to do?"

"I'm Zhong Ning, this is my name."

"The world I live in is a country of equality, democracy and freedom."

"There is no emperor, no imperial examination system, no feudal system..."

"We advocate gender equality, freedom of marriage, and women can achieve their own careers."

"Our country implements a nine-year compulsory education system. All children can go to school and learn to read and write after they turn six years old."

"Our technology has developed into the age of universal information, where we can know what's happening in the world without leaving our homes..."

Shen Yan was bewildered after hearing this. If there really was such a country in the world, wouldn't it mean that the world would have truly achieved universal peace?
