"Mister Ye, is it very big outside?"
"Mister Ye, how big is it outside?"
"Mister Ye, have you seen the sea before? What does the sea look like? What color is it? I read that there are no boundaries. Is that true? "
"Mister Ye …"
Since noon, Ren Baqian had been hearing "Mister Ye" and questions. Ren Baqian couldn't help but ask, "Are you one hundred thousand whys?"
Although Ren Baqian said this, he didn't feel annoyed. This girl had a special quality that made it hard for people to hate her. Even if she asked some very childish questions, it would only make people feel that this was how she should be.
"What is one hundred thousand whys?"
Ren Baqian was speechless.
"You will know when you see it with your own eyes in the future. It's better to see it with your own eyes than to hear it from others, "Ren Baqian replied. He had never seen the sea in this world. What if he said it was blue, but it was actually red, yellow, green, or black?
There was also the Red Sea and the Black Sea on Earth. Although he had never been there and didn't know if they were really red or black, at least some parts of the Yellow Sea were indeed yellow, mainly because there was too much sand in the water and the seawater was turbid.
"I don't know when I can go out and take a look …" Speaking of going out, Zhan Caixian was a little distracted. She hadn't even gone far before, and the furthest she went was when she went to Mount Tianyun with her father.
As for Tianjing Basin, she knew from a very young age that she couldn't go out because it was full of ferocious barbarians.
Her father and the uncles in the residence all hated the barbarians. She was imperceptibly influenced from a young age, so she didn't hate the barbarians. She just wanted to go out and take a look. She heard that the outside world was very big and beautiful, even more beautiful than the Golden Ring Residence.
Zhan Caixian was in a daze for a moment.
Ren Baqian looked at the side of her face before shifting his gaze elsewhere.
Zhan Caixian had the characteristics of immigrants from the Hao Nation. Her forehead was very wide, her facial features weren't very exquisite, and her mouth was a little big. However, her facial features were just right on her face, giving people a breathtaking feeling.
No matter who saw her, their first reaction would be that she was beautiful.
Ren Baqian didn't mind admiring her beauty, but he didn't want to get too close to her.
"Mister Ye, is the Yun Nation very big? I heard them say that it's very prosperous, even more prosperous than Jici City? "Zhan Caixian only stayed quiet for a while before turning her attention to a new problem.
After Zhan Caixian asked a bunch of questions, she suddenly stopped and stared in one direction. After a few minutes, she ran over happily.
Ren Baqian was a little astonished at first. He looked at her and realized that she was chasing a butterfly.
A journey that would normally take eight to nine days had taken Ren Baqian and his group 12 days. On two of those days, Ren Baqian returned to Earth, and there were other times when Zhan Caixian chased butterflies and other insects far away.
Even though Ren Baqian tried his best to avoid it, he still became familiar with the girl named Zhan Caixian after 12 days.
After all, she was the kind of girl that was hard to guard against and hated.
Even if they knew that they were enemies, they would gradually accept her.
Even Lin Qiaole was very familiar with her.
However, being familiar didn't mean that their relationship was good. On the contrary, there was a reason why their relationship wasn't so good …
It happened on a sunny afternoon.
"When the flower fades, the green apricot grows small. When swallows fly, green water and people circle. The willows on the branches blew less and less. There are plenty of fish in the sea!
A swing on the wall and a path on the other side. Passers-By outside the wall, while the beauty on the wall laughs. The laughter gradually subsides, and the sound gradually dies down. Amorous feelings are annoyed by heartless feelings. "
Ren Baqian pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked inside. He saw Zhan Caixian poking her head out to look at the road on both sides. She was singing a song with a happy expression on her face. Zhan Caixian's face was filled with joy.
In fact, she was always happy. These days, Ren Baqian saw happiness, cheerfulness, and vitality in her every day. It was as if the word "worry" didn't exist for her.
The people who were traveling with her looked at her with doting eyes. Her cheerfulness also infected the others, and even the journey wasn't so boring.
"Let's take a break," Ren Baqian said to the driver as he stretched.
After a while, the entire group stopped by the roadside. Next to them was a stretch of farmland. There were farmers doing farm work, and there were also children running on the small paths between the fields.
The group stopped, and everyone dismounted from their horses to stretch their muscles.
"Mister Ye, what kind of clothes do people wear in the Yun Nation? Is it the kind you wear? " Zhan Caixian jumped off the carriage, ran to Ren Baqian's side, and continued to ask questions. However, after a few minutes, she saw a butterfly in the distance and ran over happily.
Ren Baqian felt that she probably knew martial arts, which could be seen from the way she got off the carriage. However, when she chased after the butterfly, she acted like an ordinary person. She didn't reveal any martial arts, and her movements were a little clumsy.
After a while, Zhan Caixian ran back from a distance with a big blue butterfly in her hands. She was very careful, afraid that she would damage the butterfly. Every time she got off the carriage, she couldn't help but catch the butterfly when she saw it. However, when she left, she would release the butterfly.
"Look, it's so beautiful!" Zhan Caixian ran to Ren Baqian's side and held the butterfly with both hands for him to take a look.
"Very beautiful," Ren Baqian echoed.
Zhan Caixian ran to Lin Qiaole's side and said, "Sister Lin, look!"
"Oh, it's so beautiful."
A gust of wind blew, and Zhan Caixian's hands became empty.
"Oh, it's not very delicious …" Lin Qiaole smacked her lips and said with some regret.
Zhan Caixian was stunned. She opened her mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time. After a while, she realized that her butterfly had been swallowed by Lin Qiaole and quickly ran back to the carriage.
"Did you do it on purpose?" Ren Baqian watched her run back to the carriage before walking to Lin Qiaole's side and asking casually.
"What on purpose? I really want to eat it, but it doesn't taste good, "Lin Qiaole said lazily.
Ren Baqian didn't say anything else. However, when Zhan Caixian got off the carriage at night, her eyes were a little red. It seemed like she had been crying in the afternoon. He wasn't sure if she was crying about the tragic fate of the butterfly or crying about her baby being eaten by Lin Qiaole.
This was also the first time Ren Baqian saw her look unhappy.
The next day, Zhan Caixian was full of energy again. However, she didn't go near Lin Qiaole anymore after catching the butterfly. When she released the butterfly, she would first check if Lin Qiaole had returned to the carriage and acted as if she was guarding against thieves.
After 11 days of travel, Mount Tianyun was already in sight.
"How much longer?" Ren Baqian lifted the curtain and asked as he looked at the mountain in the distance.
"Mister Ye, we will arrive in one day."
…
In Gu City, the empress looked at the empty candy tree and was in a daze for a long time.
Without the colorful candies, this was just a withered tree.
After Ren Baqian left, she would be alone.
"Your Majesty? What do you want to eat for dinner? "Hong Luan asked from behind the empress.
"Your Majesty?" Hong Luan called out softly again.
"What?" The empress came back to her senses.
"What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"Up to you," the empress replied faintly.
After dinner, the empress suddenly said, "Get ready. I want to go to Tianjing Basin tomorrow to take a look. I still don't know what kind of life the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation are living under my rule and why they are always restless."
"Yes. I will inform Protector General Xi to make arrangements. "
"There's no need to inform him," the empress stopped her. "I want to go and take a look myself and don't want to listen to his nonsense."
"Your Majesty!" Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were shocked. Following which, they asked, "Your Majesty, I will inform Deputy Commander Xiong."
