The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Mu Chunfeng looked at Xiao Se: "Really? Does your family know about this? Before I left, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor would write the name of the Crown Prince on the Dragon Seal Scroll during this year's annual sacrifice ceremony."

Xiao Se: "It has nothing to do with me. I never thought of becoming an emperor."

Mu Chunfeng looked at Xiao Se and he suddenly burst into laughter. Lei Wujie was startled by his laughter. Xiao Se frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Mu Chunfeng: "In the eyes of our Qingzhou Mu family, I have always been an outlier. Hey~, do you know why?"

Lei Wujie immediately raised his hand and said, "I know—I'll let you go into business and you go study medicine."

Mu Chunfeng nodded. "That's one point. I have an older brother who is ill and may not have children. So, I am the next head of the Mu family, but I don't want to be any other head. I want to treat my older brother. If I can cure him, the position of head will definitely be his. So in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou, I am just a fool."

Sikong Qianluo: "He is very wealthy but he is so unkind. How smart can he be? Those people in Qingzhou are the real fools." Everyone looked at each other and laughed when they saw this.

Lei Wujie looked at Mu Chunfeng and said, "My grandfather told me before to help him find out who has the sword he created, the Shaking Thousand Mountains. When I go back this time, I will definitely tell him that it is in the hands of someone who deserves it."

Mu Chunfeng smiled and said, "Back then, many people tried to stop me from going out to sea. I told them, 'A mouse has a skin, but a man has no manners. If a man has no manners, what's the point of living?' They said I'd become stupid from studying, but it was they who were stupid. Life is a hundred years long, and wealth can't be taken with you. Only friendship can remain between heaven and earth. Which is more important? They couldn't figure it out. So, I left Qingzhou, left those people, and I'm so happy to meet you, because I feel like you and I are the same kind of people."

Lei Wujie asked with a puzzled look on his face, "We..." He looked at the people around him, especially at Ye Ruoyi, then turned to look at Mu Chunfeng and continued, "What kind of person is he?"

Sikong Qianluo also looked at him and nodded, motioning him to continue. Mu Chunfeng looked at them and said emphatically, "Young man."

Lei Wujie was even more confused. He touched the back of his head and repeated with a bewildered look on his face, "Young man?"

Wu Xin's first words upon hearing this were: "'Don't forget the lofty aspirations of youth, the promise of being the best in the world.' The most precious things in life are the spirit and ambition of youth."

Mu Chunfeng: "Indeed, and we are all young men. We are not sad when we lose, nor humble when we win. We hold swords in our hands and have righteousness in our hearts. Seeing the vast sea, we feel heroic; seeing flowers in full bloom, we can't hide our joy. The road ahead is dangerous, but we don't know what to do. When friends are around, we want to get drunk and sing, laugh loudly when we want to laugh, and curse when we want to curse. There are thousands of books on the truth of the world, but we just want to follow our heart and act according to our nature."

Sikong Qianluo: "The important thing is - we all have one thing in common."

Lei Wujie: "What?"

Sikong Qianluo looked at everyone around him except Lei Wujie and said, "We all look good."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Mu Chunfeng said, "Those who are good-looking can be called teenagers, and those who are not good-looking can only be called young people." When he said the last sentence, he deliberately used his fan to block his gaze.

Sikong Qianluo pointed at him in agreement: "Yeah."

Lei Wujie looked at Sikong Qianluo with a troubled expression and asked, "Senior Sister, why didn't you look at me just now?"

Sikong Qianluo looked at him seriously and said, "Because you are young."

When the others saw Sikong Qianluo fooling Lei Wujie, they all smiled, and then left together. Only Lei Wujie, Xiao Se and Wuxin were left present.

Lei Wujie pointed at himself in disbelief: "I..."

After watching them leave, he rubbed his face and said, "Am I really that ugly?"

He touched his chin and looked at Wu Xin and Xiao Se, who still had no reaction. He walked up to them and said, "Xiao Se, I want to ask you a question."

Wu Xin and Xiao Se glanced at him. Xiao Se said, "Ask."

Lei Wujie said seriously, "That day, we met at Snowfall Villa. Was it a coincidence?"

Wuxin had actually heard some fragments about their encounter from their occasional conversations, but the information was so fragmentary that it was difficult for him to piece together a complete and clear picture.

So he couldn't tell whether their meeting was a coincidence. But for Senior Mo, he felt it was not a coincidence.

From the various signs she showed when interacting with everyone and her understanding of them, it was as if she had deliberately gotten to know them, which made Wuxin wonder: So what inside story did she know that made her choose to travel with them on purpose?

However, this is ultimately nothing more than Wuxin's personal conjecture, and there is no solid evidence to support this idea.

Furthermore, Senior Mo had done him a favor—whether it was explaining the intricate details of the situation or allowing Xuanjianxian to rescue them in times of crisis—this favor was genuine and could not be erased. Therefore, even though he had some doubts in his heart, Wuxin knew it was not appropriate to speak out.

Besides, with Xiao Se's intelligence and quick wit, he might be able to see through the clues without his suggestion. Thinking of this, Wu Xin involuntarily turned his head to look at Xiao Se beside him. As their eyes met, he seemed to want to see through his deep eyes to understand his true thoughts...

However, Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie and answered his question: "It is indeed a coincidence, as if it was arranged."

Lei Wujie didn't know if he understood or not, so he could only say, "Oh."

Seeing this, Xiao Se shouted, "Lei Wujie."

Lei Wujie: "Ah? Hmm?"

Xiao Se: "Let's leave this question for the future. I'll tell you when I have the chance."

……

Today, the sky is clear and blue, the vast expanse of the heavens seemingly covered in a layer of azure silk, or inlaid with dazzling sapphires, shimmering brightly. This breathtaking scene, as if heaven has specially sent its most sincere blessings and congratulations to the newlyweds, has filled the entire world with joy and peace.

It's particularly noteworthy that not even a breeze blew through Penglai today. This fairyland, normally tranquil and mysterious, was now even more serene, as if time had stood still.

Mo Luyi sat there quietly, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, her mind full of thoughts. Thinking back to the past, although her heart no longer felt any emotional ups and downs when she recalled those past experiences now, those profound memories still remained clear in the depths of her mind.
