Chapter 641 Entering the City
Zhong Nianyao looked up at the towering city wall and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Although she couldn't let it go, the twenty years she spent in Li Country were not all unhappy. At least, the time she spent with her master was indeed very happy for her.

Now that I think about it, I don’t know how that old man is doing now, and I don’t know if he has been reincarnated.

When the master passed away, he told her that their relationship as master and apprentice would only last so long, and asked her not to try to invite him up after his death.

This was her master's last wish, so there was no way she could refuse it.

Seeing Zhong Nianyao fall into silence, Lu Yichen couldn't help but feel distressed. He gently hugged Zhong Nianyao into his arms and whispered, "Have you thought of anything?"

"Nothing." Zhong Nianyao quickly adjusted her mood. She raised her head and looked at Lu Yichen beside her. "I shouldn't have told you! One of my souls was reincarnated here and lived for more than 20 years!"

After saying that, Zhong Nianyao told what happened to her in the State of Li.

Listening to Zhong Nianyao's narration, Lu Yichen was originally quite calm. But when he heard that the royal family of Li State forced her to sacrifice herself to the heaven, the coldness in his body suddenly came out, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

Seeing this, Zhong Nianyao was shocked. She immediately took Lu Yichen's hand and comforted him, "Okay, I'm fine now, right? In fact, I had already thought of sacrificing myself to the gods. Otherwise, the one on the throne would never be able to force me."

As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao looked up at the sky, which was still dark and overcast. It seemed that Lu Yichen was still angry. Sure enough, Lu Yichen's next words confirmed her guess.

"You are willing to sacrifice yourself to the gods, that is your noble cause." Lu Yichen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "But if he wants you dead, that is absolutely impossible."

"Okay, I'm fine now!" Zhong Nianyao pulled Lu Yichen's hand, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "Besides, if I hadn't sacrificed myself to the heaven, my incomplete soul would have come to the modern world, and we might not have met it yet!"

"Besides, I sacrificed myself not for the royal family of Li, but for the people of Li. Don't be angry, otherwise, the people of Li who I saved with great difficulty will suffer again."

Hearing Zhong Nianyao say this, Lu Yichen's anger almost subsided. He sighed helplessly, "You!"

Seeing the dark clouds in the sky dissipate, Zhong Nianyao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the city gate where people were coming and going, and through the city gate at the prosperous scene in the capital. The corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up into a faint smile, "Now it seems that my sacrifice is still worth it! Look, the people here are living well, aren't they?"

Although the monarch of Li once forced her to sacrifice herself to heaven, he was still a good emperor. A good monarch is one who can ensure that the people have enough food and clothing.

Lu Yichen glanced in the direction Zhong Nianyao was looking, then retracted his gaze. His expression was always calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Okay, let's hurry into the city first!" Zhong Nianyao took Lu Yichen's hand and said with a smile, "If we stay here any longer, the sun will go down by then, and it will not be so convenient to go into the city."

The process requires a pass, and Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao naturally did not prepare such a thing. However, the two of them used a sleight of hand to deceive the soldiers guarding the gate and then went directly into the city. After entering the capital, Zhong Nianyao did not rush to inquire about Zhong Mingxin's news, but found an inn with Lu Yichen to stay.

After arriving in the room, Zhong Nianyao spoke, "Yichen, I feel that the flow of time here seems to be different from the modern world we live in."

"what do you mean--"

"Just now, I asked around," Zhong Nianyao continued, "I have only been in modern times for a year or two, but here, a full ten years have passed."

When she left, the entire country of Li was suffering from drought.

After her death, God finally had mercy on him and decided to send rain.

However, although the drought was over, post-disaster reconstruction was also a major event. It took ten years for the Kingdom of Li to recover to what she saw now.

Lu Yichen understood, "That is to say, although Zhong Mingxin has been missing for more than 20 years, it is still unknown how many years he has stayed in this world."

"Yes." Zhong Nianyao nodded, "So it is possible that he has been in this world for a short time, or it is also possible that he has been here for a long time. The only thing we can be sure of now is that he is still alive."

"We will find her." Lu Yichen gently patted Zhong Nianyao's hand and spoke softly to comfort her, "Since we are here, we will definitely find her. There is no need for us to be so anxious. Everything will work out when we get there!"

"I know," Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "Since we're already here, no matter what Zhong Mingxin's condition is, we have to bring him back."

Even if it wasn't for Baili Leyao, it was for Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. The two old people are still waiting at home for their youngest son to come home and reunite!

Lu Yichen said, "Let's go out early tomorrow to ask around!"

"We don't have to do it ourselves."

As if she remembered something, Zhong Nianyao's eyes lit up, "I almost forgot, there is an organization in the capital that specializes in helping to collect information! When the time comes, let's ask them to help find someone!"

When she was in Li Kingdom, although she was the national teacher, she spent most of her time in the National Teacher Hall. But in her spare time, she would still take the opportunity to sneak out and play.

She was quite familiar with the things going on in the capital. She just said that she didn't remember it at the moment, but now that she remembered it, she would naturally not continue to waste her energy.

"Okay, let's go look for him tomorrow," Lu Yichen nodded without expressing his opinion, "Then go to bed early! A lot has happened to us today, and you should be tired, so don't think too much. Go to bed early so that you can look for him when you wake up tomorrow."
