Chapter 371 Strange Situation
After leaving the Marquis of Xibo's residence, the two flew aimlessly in the sky, not knowing where they were going.

"008, has the next customer arrived yet?"

[They've appeared, but this customer... has a small problem.]

"piece of cake?"

008 nodded. [Our journey to the Yin-Shang Dynasty takes place in a mythological derivative of your historical world, something like... Investiture of the Gods.]

Mo Qianxun and Chen Min exchanged a glance: "So you mean that the Daji here is really the Daji from Investiture of the Gods, the one possessed by a fox spirit?"

008 nodded: [That's right, and in our current timeline, in another year, it will be the time when Daji enters the palace.]

"...So that means that at this time, Di Xin had not yet written that poem? And everything was still in the works?"

[Host, what do you want to do?] 008 looked at its host warily. [I'm telling you beforehand, unless the current Heavenly Dao is willing to make large-scale changes, its main historical trajectory cannot be altered.]

"Don't worry, I know. I just want to see the legendary last human emperor, Di Xin."

In mythology, Di Xin is mostly portrayed as a villain, but existing materials show that the real Di Xin was not the same as the one in mythology.

Although this is also a mythological world, Di Xin (the founder of the Xin dynasty) should also have some elements of the real world.

"...It's not impossible. Perfect, our next customer is from Chaoge." 008 felt a little relieved.

He hasn't received any feedback from the Heavenly Dao of this world that it wants to change itself, so he has to keep an eye on his host and not let things go too far.

"Alright, then let's go all out to rush towards Chaoge!" Mo Qianxun's eyes gleamed. The last Human Emperor, just hearing that made him sound incredibly powerful.

[Host, are you sure you want to go to Chaoge like this? It's not that I look down on your speed, it's just that Chaoge is quite far from here. Flying there like this will take at least a day and a half. We can't waste all our time on the road.]

"Then what do you mean?"

Go back and try again.

Mo Qianxun: ...Oh, so you're exploiting a bug here.

"can!"

Mo Qianxun looked at Chen Min.

Chen Min nodded, stretched out a hand towards her, and the next second, the two disappeared into the sky.

When they reappeared, the two were already in the sky above Chaoge.

Mo Qianxun and her companion looked down at the situation below: "The situation below looks quite harmonious, not at all like the people suffering in the myths."

"Perhaps the plot hasn't unfolded yet. It's said that Di Xin himself wasn't a cruel person. Maybe it's just for the sake of the plot that he was portrayed as a lecherous and cruel person."

The two entered Chaoge City and walked along the streets, where they could see that everyone was indeed living a very good life.

The two continued walking forward; their customer this time was none other than Junior Tutor Bigan.

That's right, it's the same Bi Gan who would have his seven orifices of exquisite heart removed in the future.

The two inquired about the approximate location of the Junior Tutor's residence from the people around them, and then headed in that direction.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the street. Several soldiers pushed the people aside, and a carriage came into view.

Mo Qianxun asked in confusion, "Grandpa, who's inside? They're so imposing!" "Quick, kneel down!" The old man next to her had already knelt down at some point, and seeing the two young girls still standing, he quickly pulled them up.

Mo Qianxun and Chen Min exchanged a glance and silently squatted down together. It wasn't considered kneeling if their knees didn't touch the ground.

After the carriage passed, Mo Qianxun and Chen Min stood up. Without asking, they already knew the identity of the person in the carriage.

The only person who could command the knees of all the people was probably Di Xin, the king of the Shang Dynasty.

"Did you see that just now? He looks so mature, he must be a middle-aged man!" Mo Qianxun asked Chen Min quietly as she watched the car drive away.

"It is said that King Zhou was twenty or thirty years older than Su Daji. Some even say that King Zhou was already sixty years old when Daji entered the palace. But now it seems that being twenty or thirty years older is about right." (For the sake of the plot)

“He’s not young anymore, truly a case of a pear tree overshadowing a crabapple!” Mo Qianxun said, leading Chen Min toward the Junior Tutor’s residence.

Unbeknownst to them, just as the two women looked away from the car, Di Xin suddenly turned around and stared intently at Mo Qianxun until his car was completely gone and the two women were no longer in sight.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Xin dismissed the servants and pulled out a photograph from among the many bamboo slips.

One of the people in the photo is Mo Qianxun.

Di Xin touched the photo and murmured to himself, "Sister, did I just see it wrong, or have you really come back?"

Di Xin looked at the photo for a while, then put it down and picked up a bamboo scroll to read.

Meanwhile, Mo Qianxun and Chen Min, guided by a kind person, finally arrived at the Junior Tutor's Mansion.

Why do we need a kind person to guide us to find it? Mainly because illiteracy is a serious problem.

The two of them wandered around that street for a long time, and they saw no fewer than five plaques with three characters each. Neither of them knew the characters used in that period, so they had a hard time even guessing them.

Fortunately, they met a kind person who led them to the Junior Tutor's residence.

Q: Why can't we find 008 either? Isn't he a...?

A: He never learned the written language of this era.

Upon arriving at the Shaoshi Mansion, Mo Qianxun and Chen Min exchanged a glance. They were about to face Bi Gan, a man with a brilliant mind, and wondered what he would be like.

Just as the two were hesitating, the door suddenly opened, and a servant boy yawned as he walked out.

"Hello, we..."

"She, she, they're back again! Quick, go get the master! Quick, surround them!" The servant was so shocked when he saw Mo Qianxun and Chen Min that he started to stutter.

While sending someone to fetch their master, they also had people surround Mo Qianxun and the others, fearing that they might run away again.

The two were surrounded and looked at each other with some confusion.

"What's going on with them? Why do they act like they know us?" Mo Qianxun scratched her head. The servant's attitude towards them was clearly strange.

"I don't know, who knows? But this is probably our first time here, so maybe they've mistaken us for someone else!" Chen Min looked at the guards surrounding them.

"Ladies, you're finally back!" The servant boy ran over excitedly.

The two people: ...Hey, hey, hey, don't come any closer, I don't know you.
