EBE Chapter 207 Age Gap
Chapter 207 Age Gap
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and continued, "The Night Dynasty is currently experiencing a surge in development, and we cannot let our guard down. What we need to do next is to further consolidate the Night Dynasty's strength in all aspects."
Chu Qiaoling nodded slightly and added, "I think we can start with education, so that the younger generation of Yechao can receive a good education, which is related to the future development of Yechao."
Chen Xiao replied thoughtfully, "Grandmother's suggestion is excellent. We can establish specialized educational institutions to impart knowledge and skills, and cultivate more outstanding talents for Yechao."
Ning Yuyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "We can also introduce some advanced concepts from the original timeline into the Night Dynasty to make its development more dynamic."
At this moment, Xi Xi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Actually, some of my experiences in the original timeline might provide some insights for the development of the Night Dynasty."
Chen Xiao looked at her curiously: "Tell me about it."
Xi Xi frowned slightly, lost in thought: "The technological development in the original timeline was very rapid, and many technologies could be used by the Night Dynasty. For example, some intelligent devices can improve the management efficiency of the Night Dynasty."
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up: "That's indeed a good idea. We can study the technology of the original timeline and then apply it in combination with the actual situation of the Night Dynasty."
As everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Excellencies, there are unidentified individuals loitering near the border of the Night Dynasty."
Chen Xiao immediately stood up and said seriously, "It seems we are about to face new challenges. Everyone, prepare countermeasures and do not allow Ye Chao to be threatened."
Everyone sprang into action, preparing to deal with the impending crisis. Chen Xiao, meanwhile, was pondering how to utilize the resources of the original timeline to enhance the strength of the Night Dynasty.
Just then, a mysterious figure appeared on the border of the Night Dynasty. He was dressed in a black robe, with a cold and stern gaze, and exuded a mysterious aura.
Chen Xiao looked at the mysterious man, a sense of unease rising within him. Who exactly was he? And what were his purposes?
The atmosphere at Night Dynasty grew tense, a new crisis was about to unfold. Could Chen Xiao and the others withstand this sudden challenge, and what would become of Night Dynasty? Everything was shrouded in uncertainty.
With the appearance of the mysterious figure, the situation in Yechao becomes even more complicated. Chen Xiao and the others are forced to face one difficult choice after another.
In the process, they discovered a secret hidden in the original timeline. This secret may have a significant impact on the development of the Night Dynasty.
Chen Xiao and the others began to investigate this secret in depth, and they discovered that some forces in the original timeline were trying to undermine the stability of the Night Dynasty.
Faced with these challenges, Chen Xiao and the others decided to unite and work together. They devised a detailed plan to engage in a fierce battle in the original timeline.
The future of Night Dynasty is fraught with uncertainty. What challenges will Chen Xiao and the others face? Will they be able to successfully protect Night Dynasty? All will be revealed in this battle.
Chen Xiao and the others quickly sprang into action, deploying the Night Dynasty's defenses in an orderly fashion. Just as everyone was on high alert, the mysterious figure unexpectedly appeared and swaggered into the Night Dynasty's city gates.
He was tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura, with unfathomable depths in his eyes.
Chen Xiao stared at him warily and demanded loudly, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to Ye Chao?"
The mysterious man's lips curled slightly upward, and he let out a low laugh: "Don't be nervous. I've come here to bring a great gift to the Night Dynasty."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, filled with skepticism about the mysterious man's words.
Chen Xiao frowned and said coldly, "A big gift? We don't need any big gifts. If you don't explain your purpose, don't blame us for being impolite."
The mysterious man slowly took out an exquisite box from his pocket, opened it gently, and a strange light emanated from inside.
"This is the technological achievement of the original timeline, which can help Yechao improve its strength."
Chen Xiao's heart stirred. He was already very curious about the technology of the original timeline, but he was also worried that there might be some conspiracy behind it.
Just as she hesitated, Ning Qianyun stepped forward, examined the box carefully, and said, "This is indeed a technological product from the original timeline, and it may really be helpful to Yechao."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao decided to accept the gift for the time being.
However, at that moment, the ground in Yechao suddenly trembled violently, and a powerful force surged out from underground.
Everyone was panicked and didn't know what had happened.
Chen Xiao quickly realized what was happening and shouted, "This is bad! It's the power of the original timeline at work. We must find the source as soon as possible!"
Just as everyone was searching around, Xi Xi suddenly spotted a strange symbol. She pointed at the symbol and exclaimed, "This symbol seems to be related to the power of the original timeline!"
Chen Xiao immediately stepped forward to examine it and discovered that the symbol was actually an ancient mark from the original timeline.
Just as she was about to study it further, the mysterious man suddenly rushed over and snatched the symbol away.
The mysterious man revealed a sinister smile: "You are too naive. This was all meticulously planned by me. I want to make Yechao a subordinate entity of the original timeline, under my control."
Chen Xiao glared angrily and shouted, "We will never let you succeed. Night Dynasty is our home, and we will protect it."
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the sky over Yechao was shrouded in darkness.
Chen Xiao and the others fought with all their might against the mysterious man.
During the battle, Chen Xiao discovered that the mysterious man's power was growing stronger and stronger, and he seemed to be constantly absorbing the energy of the original timeline.
Chen Xiao realized that in order to defeat the mysterious man, he had to find the energy source of the original timeline.
She led the group in a battle while searching for the source of energy.
Finally, in a secluded place, they discovered a huge energy vortex.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and decided to enter the vortex to find the energy of the original timeline.
Everyone tried to dissuade her, worried that she might be in danger.
Chen Xiao said firmly, "This is the only way, and I have to try it."
After saying that, she resolutely jumped into the whirlpool.
Seeing this, everyone expressed their desire to follow them inside.
Chen Xiao advised, "This is too dangerous, you should stay."
However, everyone insisted on going together, and Chen Xiao had no choice but to agree.
They all jumped into the whirlpool.
Within the vortex, everyone felt a powerful force, and their bodies were uncontrollably drawn into it.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and everyone found themselves teleported to Guangling.
Chen Xiao said, "We must find a way back."
As Chen Xiao and his group stepped into Guangling City, the sunlight shone on the streets, and the unfamiliar environment made everyone a little nervous.
Led by Xixi, the group headed towards the Prefect's residence.
Upon arriving at the prefect's residence, the guards, seeing the group's impressive bearing, dared not delay and quickly informed them.
Before long, Qi Ruyan came out to greet them with her family.
She spotted Ning Qianyun at a glance, her eyes widened instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her lips trembled as she said, "Qianyun, is it really you?"
When Qi Ruyan and Qi Qing saw Ning Qianyun standing alive in front of them, they froze, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Ruyan covered her mouth, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her body trembled slightly.
Qi Qing's eyes widened, and he subconsciously rubbed them, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.
After a moment, Qi Ruyan reached out with trembling hands and gently touched Ning Qianyun's face, her voice trembling with tears as she said, "Qianyun, is it really you? You've really come back?"
Qi Qing's eyes reddened, her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a choked voice, "How is this possible? Xiao Yun is clearly dead. What happened?"
Ning Qianyun's eyes were filled with emotion and relief as she said softly, "Ruyan, Uncle Qi, I have indeed returned, but I cannot reveal the reason for all of this yet."
Qi Qing took a step forward excitedly, her voice trembling as she said, "It's alright, it's good that you're back. That's wonderful, wonderful! You're finally back. We've missed you all these years."
While crying, Qi Ruyan hugged Ning Qianyun tightly and said, sobbing, "I'm so happy. I thought I would never see you again."
Tears welled up in Ning Qianyun's eyes as she said, "I've been through a lot over the years, and I've always wanted to come back and see you all."
Qi Qing looked Ning Qianyun up and down and said with emotion, "I never thought I would see you again. It's like a dream."
Qi Ruyan burst into laughter through her tears, took Ning Qianyun's hand and said, "No matter what, it's good that you're back. We'll never be apart again."
Qi Ruyan stepped forward and tightly grasped Ning Qianyun's hand, tears streaming down her face.
When Ning Qianyun saw Qi Ruyan, who was over forty years old, she was moved by her emotions. Her eyes reddened and her voice trembled slightly: "All these years, I have always wanted to see you again."
Qi Ruyan sobbed uncontrollably, saying between sobs, "I thought I would never see you again. Over the years, I have often thought of you. I never expected to see you here again."
Chen Xiao stepped forward and said softly, "Madam Qi, we have many things to tell you this time."
Ning Qianyun pulled Chu Yanxi and Chu Qiaoling along and introduced them to Qi Ruyan: "Ruyan, look who this is."
Qi Ruyan then noticed Emperor Wende and the Retired Emperor standing to the side. She had seen Chu Yanxi before and naturally recognized her, and she had also seen Emperor Wende's portrait.
So when she saw the two of them appear before her with such youthful faces, she was extremely shocked.
She blinked, and asked with a slightly puzzled tone, "This is... Emperor Wende and Yan Xi?"
Chu Qiaoling smiled and nodded to Qi Ruyan: "Hello, I've heard Qianyun and Yanxi talk about you a lot."
Chu Yanxi stepped forward, took Qi Ruyan's hand, and said, "Long time no see, Ruyan."
Qi Ruyan was still somewhat bewildered and said, "This is too unbelievable. You appeared here first, but why do you three look the same age?"
The three exchanged glances, and Ning Qianyun stepped forward to explain: "This is due to some special reasons. Do you believe it? There are gods in this world. We were granted permission by the gods to return here."
Knowing that their identities as mission takers could not be revealed, Chen Xiao continued, following Ning Qianyun's words, "Yes, Madam Qi, the gods have shown mercy and allowed many people to return to their homeland. Not only my relatives, but also Miss Yin's close friends and family. These are Miss Yin's family members."
Yin Yuyao and Qi Ruyan had already met at the last banquet and had a very pleasant chat.
When Chen Xiao introduced Yin Yuyao, he said she was a fairy, and Qi Ruyan believed it without a doubt.
Then, Qi Ruyan turned her gaze to Yin Yuyao and Ning Ci, and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Miss Yin is that fairy. If that's the case, then Miss Yin's family... must be too?"
She looked at Ning Ci and Yuwen Li, as well as Ning Yuyuan with clear eyes, her gaze filled with curiosity.
Yin Yuyao was put in this position by her words, so she could only go along with her and say, "Yes, these people are all my family."
She looked at Ning Ci and the other two, who were clearly only in their twenties, and then at Chu Qiaoling and the other two, who were clearly in their forties, and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao introduced them, "Madam Qi, these two young ladies are Ning Ci and Yuwen Li, both close friends of Miss Yin and also her family."
"The two fairies are so beautiful." Qi Ruyan's eyes were full of admiration and praise.
After the three exchanged greetings, Chen Xiao continued, "This is Ning Yuyuan, who has always resided in Guangling."
Chen Xiao didn't mention much about Ning Yuyuan's relationship with Yin Yuyao. Qi Ruyan only thought that Ning Yuyuan wasn't a fairy and that she was a good friend that Yin Yuyao met in Guangling.
So she smiled and nodded, saying, "Then Miss Ning, you can come visit us often. You look about the same age as Feng Li."
Ning Yuyuan is 25 years old, and Qi Fengli is 24 years old. Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "That's true."
Xi Xi watched silently from the side, secretly calculating the age difference between them.
Qi Ruyan would never have imagined that these eight people came from two different dynasties.
Yin Yuyao, who looks to be around twenty years old, was a college student in the original world, but she has spent 120 years in this world, experiencing two dynasties and five eras.
Ning Ci and Yuwen Li, who appear to be in their early twenties, have not only spent over fifty years in this interface but also over two hundred years in the original interface, making them the saints of the original interface.
Unlike the Rongchao mission takers, the Yechao mission takers were different.
Chu Qiaoling, who looks to be in her forties, became a historian at the age of 35 in the original world and has made many achievements in this world as well. She is considered young among these mission takers.
There's also Chu Yanxi, who also looks to be in her forties. In the original interface, she was just a 26-year-old student pursuing a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree. In this interface, she has only been there for forty-five years.
Finally, there was Ning Qianyun. She looked to be around forty years old, but she was the only one among these mission takers who was not from another realm. She was a true person from this realm and the only one who had personally experienced two lifetimes.
Although he only lived for fifteen years in the Rong Dynasty, he was very happy in the Ye Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Xi Xi glanced at Ning Yuyuan and Chen Xiao.
He thought to himself that the one who looked the youngest was actually the oldest; conversely, the one who looked the oldest was not actually that old.
Only these two are truly consistent, both internally and externally.
Chen Xiao is fifteen years old here, but twenty years old in the original world; Ning Yuyuan is twenty-five years old here, but fifteen years old in the original world.
