Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yue subconsciously glanced at the others.

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yue, "You should know, right? These people are all my own people..."

Xiao Yue said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, this is a matter of great importance... I dare not be negligent in the slightest..."

Xiao Ce glanced at Xiao Yue, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking.

Xiao Ce then said to Da Lei and the others, "Alright, you should all leave now."

Da Lei looked at Xiao Yue, clearly fearing that Xiao Yue might be up to something.

Seeing Da Lei's expression, Xiao Yue immediately understood and said to him, "I'm not carrying any weapons, you can search me as you please..."

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Da Lei didn't stand on ceremony at all and stepped forward to examine Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue was quite composed.

Perhaps it's because they have nothing to hide, and therefore act with honesty and integrity...

Da Lei checked and found that Xiao Yue was not carrying anything dangerous.

Xiaoyue said to Dalei, "Dalei, is everything alright now?"

Da Lei nodded, then said to Xiao Yue with a hint of threat, "If you dare to do anything detrimental to your master, then I will not be polite to your master either..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Yue wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Alright... don't worry. We're on the same side..."

Xiaoyue wasn't angry; after all, she understood Dalei's mindset very well.

Looking at Xiaoyue's condition, Da Lei didn't seem to be there to cause trouble.

So, Da Lei glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Da Lei, then said to him, "You can go out now."

Without saying a word, they nodded.

After watching them leave.

Xiao Ce then said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, you can speak now."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yue smiled and nodded: "That's right, Your Highness, of course you can speak..."

After hearing Xiaoyue say this, Xiao Ce didn't say anything more.

He just looked at Xiaoyue.

However, Xiaoyue seemed to be caught in a dilemma.

Xiao Ce then asked Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong?"

Xiaoyue said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I just don't know where to begin..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yue, "Tell me first, why did you come here? It wasn't Yin Pan'er who came directly. There must be some unavoidable situation. Have you been placed under house arrest by the Mad Taoist?"

Seeing that Xiaoyue didn't know where to start, Xiao Ce directly guided her.

Xiaoyue nodded after listening to Xiao Ce's words: "That's right, let's start from here. Actually, the master was threatened. Although you arranged for the mad Taoist to protect the master, we only found out later that the mad Taoist claimed to be your subordinate."

Xiao Ce was taken aback when he heard Xiao Yue's words.

The reason is simple: he can understand every single word Xiaoyue says, but when they are put together into a sentence, he can't understand them.

Xiao Ce couldn't understand.

"What do you mean? Claiming to be my subordinate?"

Seeing that this sentence was indeed awkward, Xiaoyue changed her words and said, "Your Highness, that mad Taoist priest is actually someone who claims to be your subordinate..."

Xiao Ce said, "He said it was me?"

Xiaoyue nodded: "That's right, it's not just that. The person who claimed to be you kept saying that he was Xiao Ce, but he's a fake... You stole his body... You stole everything from him! Now he's back, and he's going to take back everything that originally belonged to him!"

“At first, we all thought he was a madman... but after so much time, we don’t know if he’s still a madman... but based on what we know, we can be sure that he’s not a person, but a monster!”

After saying this, Xiaoyue stared intently at Xiao Ce.

Sure enough, she saw a hint of surprise in Xiao Ce's eyes.

From Xiao Ce's reaction, it's clear that he was aware of the matter.

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Ce was immediately surprised, followed by fear.

Because others might not know, but Xiao Ce knew perfectly well what Xiao Yue meant by those words.

He is a time traveler, the one Xiaoyue mentioned. Xiao Ce stole everything from that person!

The person who claims to be the original Xiao Ce, is he the original owner of this body?

Xiao Ce found it unbelievable and immediately rejected the absurd idea.

Actually, his arrival was a soul transmigration. It was because the original owner of this body died that his soul transmigrated here.

The original owner has long since vanished from the world and disappeared.

Therefore, the person claiming to be him, even if not the original owner, must be someone closest to him...

However, according to Xiao Ce's memories and understanding, the original owner was a good-for-nothing!

If we're talking about the closest person to Xiao Ce, it would probably be Xiao Dingshan, but judging from Xiao Dingshan's previous attitude towards Xiao Ce...

Xiao Dingshan had no idea that Xiao Ce had transmigrated. If Xiao Dingshan had known, he wouldn't have helped Xiao Ce.

It's important to know that Xiao Dingshan was Xiao Ce's first 'angel investor'. Without him, Da Lei, Xie Zhi, and the others would have been lost.

Xiao Ce's path was certainly not going to be so smooth...

Who is that?

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Xiaoyue saw that Xiao Ce was lost in his memories, and she originally wanted to wait a while.

However, after hearing Xiao Yue's words, Xiao Ce seemed lost in thought, and after a long while, he still didn't seem to come back to his senses.

Only then did he call out to Xiao Ce.

Only after hearing Xiaoyue's call did Xiao Ce pull himself out of his memories.

"You just said that person wasn't human, but a monster? What do you mean?" Xiao Ce asked Xiao Yue directly.

Judging from Xiao Ce's expression, Xiao Yue was clearly aware of the situation.

So he continued, "Your Highness, that's right, that person isn't a single person... He usually covers himself up completely. However, last time, when he confronted Lady Yin Pan'er, he removed the cloth covering his body, and what we saw was that he was entirely made of iron, covered in dense, complex, and thick threads... Some parts of his body are covered by skin, but most of it is just exposed iron..."

As she spoke, Xiaoyue seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and fear appeared in her eyes.

"He's clearly a lump of iron, clearly not a person, but he acts like one... Isn't he a monster? He's practically a lump of iron that's come to life..."

When Xiaoyue said this, Xiao Ce listened to what Xiaoyue said.

I felt like my head had exploded with a buzzing sound.

Then, another word came to mind.

"robot!"

Although it's unbelievable, it's not entirely impossible...

Furthermore, before Xiao Ce transmigrated, the company he owned that was publicly listed was a research company specializing in artificial intelligence and robotics...

At that time, he was considered a leader in the industry...

However, at that time, the artificial intelligence and robots developed by his company had very limited capabilities.

The reason his company was able to go public is partly because it is indeed far ahead of the competition in this area in China.

However, it's far from being as amazing as they claim. Most of the videos that advertise their robots as being able to run, jump, and perform kung fu are just promotional videos made to fool investors.

However, the robots in Xiao Ce's company at that time had no problem with normal walking and other movements.

However, according to Xiaoyue, the kind of robot that possesses its own thoughts and can function like a normal human being, such a robot certainly didn't exist when he transmigrated here.

Furthermore, Xiao Ce was able to assert that it would be difficult to find such a product again in the decades to come...

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Xiao Yue was certain that Xiao Ce knew something...

After hearing Xiaoyue's call, Xiao Ce came back to his senses and said to her, "Xiaoyue, continue..."

Xiaoyue said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you know what's going on? Do you know what that monster is?"

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yue, "I think I've guessed something: digital life! Robots! Memory storage!"

Xiao Ce spoke in a somewhat delirious manner.

"Yes! That must be it! If my guess is correct... that must be it... please continue... please continue..."

Xiao Ce recounted some of the projects his company had developed before he transmigrated.

Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Ce's somewhat erratic state.

Xiao Yue could understand every word Xiao Ce said, but she didn't know what they meant...

However, for Xiaoyue, this gain was still enormous.

The reason is simple: Xiao Ce at least knew what that monster was.

Once we know what it is, perhaps we can find the right solution...

So Xiaoyue didn't stop at all and continued talking.

"That monster who claimed to be you, after he revealed his identity to us, we initially thought he would have to kill you... However, he went to Lady Yin Pan'er and only told her that she must protect you in secret and not let you die... We don't know why? He clearly seemed to hate you with a vengeance, but he still said that..."

"Do you know that mad Taoist priest?"

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Ce nodded.

Then Xiaoyue said to Xiao Ce, "That mad Taoist is also a blockhead. Do you remember when you sent Night Cat to Lingas's Twin Castles to look for what we were hiding?"

"Back then, we were hiding the Mad Taoist's corpse... At that time, the Mad Taoist, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of us, except that his arms were smashed and half of his head was blown off... We always thought the Mad Taoist was a person... But we never expected that the Mad Taoist and the person who claimed to be you looked exactly the same—a monster..."

"After the Mad Taoist arrived, the first thing he said to us was about Wolong Manor. Then he died. We knew that this Mad Taoist's body was very strange, and we were afraid that someone else had seen the problem. So we buried him in Twin Fortresses and secretly sent people to transport him out and hide him."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised when Xiao Yue brought this up.

Because he had contact with the Mad Taoist, and these contacts had occurred more than once.

This madman is no different from an ordinary person; perhaps in the future, such bionic robots will be developed.

However, at this level of industrial development, such a situation is simply impossible.

Xiao Ce had already guessed something, but after being told that the Mad Taoist might also be a robot.

Xiao Ce was dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, isn't the Mad Taoist priest alive and well now?"

Xiaoyue said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, that's right. The Mad Taoist and that person who claimed to be you have reappeared. This Mad Taoist has been 'resurrected'. He's exactly the same as before. Although we don't know how he did it, the Mad Taoist who was completely dead has become perfectly fine again... Moreover, after this 'resurrection,' this Mad Taoist said that his name is Void... So, we'll call him Master Void."

"What! What's it called?" Xiao Ce's head seemed to explode as he asked Xiao Yue.

Seeing Xiao Ce's agitated state, Xiao Yue looked at him with some surprise and then said, "Calling...calling the Void? Your Highness, do you know what that is?"

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "That's right... I couldn't be more knowledgeable..."

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what.

The listed company that Xiao Ce traveled to has an AI model called Void.

Xiao Ce now has a very bold conjecture in his mind.

That is, is it possible that he actually traveled through time, and the original owner of this body traveled into his body?

Only in this way can we explain why the so-called monster said that Xiao Ce stole everything from him.

Xiao Ce now felt that his conjecture was still very likely...

Xiao Ce was actually very excited if it was really as he guessed.

Does that mean the original owner had already found a way to travel through time?

Does that mean he can go back?

Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Ce and asked, "What exactly is that void?"

Xiao Ce shook his head and said to Xiao Yue, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's a humanoid lifelike robot. Although I don't know how they did it, they shouldn't be here at all!!"
