Chapter 1057

Indeed!

With no kin and no connections, why would Mr. Su save him? And how did he know he was in the official slave camp? At first, he thought it was because of Lu Su, that she had asked Mr. Su to save him.

Thinking about it now, that does not seem to be the case.

When Lu Su first saw him, she was very surprised, which proves she had not expected Mr. Su to rescue him. Later, when Lu Su spoke of what happened after she recovered from her illness, it confirmed this even more.

After she recovered, she had gone to look for him and Yi Xiaochuan, only to find that they had already left.

This shows that Lu Su did not know the whereabouts of him and Yi Xiaochuan, which is why she was so surprised to learn he had been sent to the official slave camp.

Since Lu Su did not know his whereabouts at the time, how could she have asked Mr. Su to save him?

As it stands now, it seems Mr. Su found his location all on his own.

As for the reason for saving him, it is very simple.

He is a person from the future.

"Mr. Su saved me because of this reason?" Gao Yao was very shocked. He then suddenly thought of something else: "Since Mr. Su knows I am a person from the future, I wonder if there is any way..."

"Are you trying to ask if I have a way to send you back?"

Gao Yao nodded vigorously.

After first arriving in this world, he was completely unable to adapt and only wanted to return to his own era. Although he was just a small cook in the modern world, he at least had a younger sister. In this world, he could be said to be all alone, without any kin. Originally, there was his fellow townsman Yi Xiaochuan, but the things Yi Xiaochuan had done recently really made him unable to feel any goodwill toward this fellow townsman.

Seeing the sorrowful Lu Su, he could not help but think of his own sister, Gao Lan.

If there really were a way to go back, Gao Yao would resolutely abandon everything in this world and return to modern society.

Even though he had now become the Chief Steward of the Imperial Kitchen.

"First, tell me how you came to this era~~!"

Su Xuan did not directly answer whether he could send Gao Yao back to the modern era, but instead asked about his time travel.

Even though he knew these things clearly, Ying Zheng did not.

He was purely using Gao Yao's mouth to let Ying Zheng know the full story.

Gao Yao had completely given up. Since Su Xuan already knew he was a time traveler and had even told Ying Zheng about it, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

Rather than continuing to hide it, it would be better to tell the truth. Since Mr. Su could discover his time travel by peering into the secrets of heaven and find him, perhaps he might have a way to send him back.

Gao Yao recounted what had happened to him.

The beginning was all trivial, such as him being a cook and depending on his sister for survival.

He continued until he and Yi Xiaochuan were scuffling and accidentally touched a box. The box released a powerful force that sucked them in. By the time he came to his senses, he found that he had arrived in this world.

"In other words, it was that box that caused you to come to this world?"

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered. Mentioning a box, he could not help but think of the Seven Luminaries of the Canglong in his own world.

According to what Su Xuan said, when the Mirage was sailing on the sea, the seven boxes chimed in unison, summoning the phantom of the Yinglong, which then sent them into a mysterious space—the time and space where the Immortal Mountain was located.

So, was the box that caused Gao Yao to come to this era something similar to the bronze boxes of the Seven Luminaries of the Canglong?

The only difference is that the bronze box of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon opens a passage to another space, while this box allows one to transcend time, arriving in this era from two thousand years in the future.

Gao Yao nodded, confirming Ying Zheng's question; it was indeed that box that brought him to this world.

Afterward, he revealed that after meeting Yi Xiaochuan, they had used clues provided by Yi Xiaochuan to find a place called Tangwu Mountain. Their time travel seemed to be related to that place, and perhaps a way to return could be found there.

However, when they arrived there, they only saw a young boy; the master of Tangwu Mountain was not at home.

The boy relayed a message, telling them to go to Tangwu Mountain again after sixty years.

Although he would be nearly a hundred years old after sixty years, Gao Yao still could not help but ask Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, can the master of Tangwu Mountain really let me return to the modern era?"

Su Xuan said in a deep voice: "I am not familiar with the master of Tangwu Mountain, and I am not sure if he can let you return to the modern era. But since he told you to go to Tangwu Mountain after sixty years, he must have seen something and was certain that even after sixty years, you would not die."

"Is that so?" Gao Yao appeared somewhat dazed.

Su Xuan continued: "Do you remember what I said earlier? I observed the secrets of heaven and learned that you and Yi Xiaochuan coming to this era was not a variable, but a fixed fate. In other words, your arrival in this era was destined by heaven. Heaven sent you to this era because it wanted you to do something."

"In other words, I have no way to go back? Mr. Su, you have no way to send me back either?"

Gao Yao had thought that by revealing his time travel, Su Xuan would have a way to send him back. Hearing Su Xuan's words now, how could he not understand that he could no longer go back?

His existence was something already destined for this era.

Since it was already destined.

Naturally, he could not easily return.

"I know you want to return to your own era, but such is the mandate of heaven, and you can only accept it. I cannot give you too many guarantees, but I can only say that as long as His Majesty and I are here, wealth and glory will not be lacking for you, and I can ensure you live securely in this era."

"Not bad!" Ying Zheng also nodded and said: "Gao Yao, just stay in this era with peace of mind. I will not treat you unfairly."

He gave Gao Yao a promise.

Ying Zheng then said to Gao Yao: "Having finished speaking about your arrival in this era, Gao Yao, since you are a person from the future, you must be very clear about the future of my Great Qin. Now, you can tell me the answer to the question of whether Great Qin will perish."

Honestly, today was a day of great joy and great sorrow for Gao Yao, and even more so, one of shock and horror.

First, Ying Zheng revealed his identity as a time traveler, and Su Xuan explained the full story. He had thought Su Xuan had a way to send him back, but the result was that he could not go back.

The promises of Su Xuan and Ying Zheng made Gao Yao feel slightly more at ease.

A monarch does not joke; since His Majesty the Emperor had promised him wealth and glory, he surely would not deceive him.

With his life in this era now guaranteed, Gao Yao answered Ying Zheng's question: "I didn't even graduate from elementary school, so my history grades were very poor. I don't know much about the Qin Dynasty, only that after Your Majesty, your youngest son, Hu Hai, will push aside Crown Prince Fu Su and become the new emperor of Qin. He is also the last emperor of Qin!" ===== CHAPTER 1059 =====
