Chapter 197: Bai Wei Returns to the Modern World

Xiao Moting did not want Bai Wei to leave; he wanted her to stay.

But he could not, for the sake of his own selfishness, force her to remain here.

Her world had no assassins, no war, and no such life-and-death crises...

Yet, Daliang had rebel armies, a National Preceptor, and assassins... It was too dangerous here for her.

Compared to having her stay, he hoped even more for her safety.

Bai Wei looked at Xiao Moting's handsome, upright face, and her nose could not help but ache.

She had arrived in Beijiang only a short two or three days ago.

But she had already grown deeply fond of the Northern Frontier Army.

Moreover, she had been busy treating the soldiers' wounds and illnesses, so the time she had actually spent with Xiao Moting was pitifully short.

The two of them had not even finished walking down a single street before they encountered an assassin attack!

If she could, she truly wanted to face the difficulties together with Xiao Moting, rather than leaving him here all alone.

Bai Wei took a deep breath; she knew that now was not the time to speak of parting.

She suppressed her heartache and nodded firmly.

"Alright, I will go back first."

Only by returning to the modern world could she better help Xiao Moting and help the Northern Frontier Army.

Xiao Moting gazed deeply at Bai Wei, his eyes brimming with endless reluctance.

Yet he would not ask her to stay.

She did not belong to this world to begin with.

This dynasty, torn by the chaos of war, would only harm her.

"Bai, your things have already been packed."

The soldiers carried several large cloth bags inside.

Inside the bags were the various antiques Bai Wei had purchased on the street.

Besides those, there were many extra items, including a large amount of small wild fruits.

They were all things she had enjoyed eating over these past few days.

The Northern Frontier Army soldiers knew she was leaving, so they had specifically climbed the mountains to pick them for her to take back and eat.

Bai Wei walked into the tent, took off her veil, and changed back into the clothes she had originally worn.

She looked up at Xiao Moting, who was standing at the tent entrance.

"Xiao Moting, I will definitely come back to Daliang to find you."

"Good, I will wait for you."

Xiao Moting nodded forcefully.

Bai Wei picked up the Jade Pendant and, following the method from when she arrived, closed her eyes and focused her mind.

In her mind, she concentrated as hard as she could on the thought of returning.

The corners of Xiao Moting's eyes were slightly red; he lowered his lashes to hide the reluctance in his gaze.

When he looked up, Bai Wei's figure had vanished.

On the table, the clothes and veil she had changed out of remained.

Xiao Moting walked into the tent and picked up the white veil from the table.

The soft veil still held her warmth, as well as a faint trace of her scent...

A thousand emotions surged within Xiao Moting's heart.

Next time, when she came to Daliang again, how long would it be?

He clutched the veil in his palm, gripping it tightly, and the thought in his heart grew ever more resolute.

That was that he would pacify the world and bring peace to all people!

Only when the world was at peace and the common people lived in prosperity would Bai Wei not encounter so many dangers when she came to Daliang in the future.

"Shennü Daren, Xiao Moting swears here that I will surely forge a world without war!"

To create a peaceful and prosperous age in the Daliang Dynasty—this was Bai Wei's wish, and it was his wish as well.

"Whoosh!"

"I'm back just like that?"

Bai Wei's figure appeared out of thin air inside the Recreational Vehicle.

She had gone to Daliang from here, and upon returning, she was still at the same starting point.

Following her through the Teleportation were the several large cloth bags filled with antiques.

The Recreational Vehicle was still parked downstairs at Zhou Yuchuan's villa.

It was still early morning, and thick morning mist drifted all around.

The villa area was completely quiet, without a single soul in sight.

Bai Wei came to her senses and hurriedly held the Jade Pendant in her hand up to her face.

Her brows knitted together.

As expected...

On the crystal-clear Jade Pendant, another crack had appeared.

This meant that every time she went to Daliang, the Jade Pendant would suffer a bit of wear.

She did not know how long this Jade Pendant could hold out.

Suddenly!

A slip of paper drifted down.

On the slip of paper was the vigorous and powerful handwriting of Xiao Moting.

"Bai, have you returned home safely? If you have arrived, please send me a message."

A wave of emotion stirred in Bai Wei's heart.

He was worried about her.

She hurriedly wrote a note to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, I have returned safely. Is there any situation on your end?"

"Good, I am relieved now. Everything in the Northern Frontier Army is normal for the time being, but the Yuan Clan Army is stationed nearby. I have already ordered the entire army to prepare for battle to prevent a surprise attack from them."

Bai Wei's heart sank.

She had returned safely, but Xiao Moting was still in great danger.

The Emperor had made his move, and he had specifically chosen this critical moment just after the Northern Frontier Army had finished a battle, intentionally taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Frontier Army had not yet recovered its strength to catch them off guard.

Moreover, he had quietly sent two large armies over.

It seemed that the Emperor would not let Xiao Moting off easily this time.

The art of imperial governance in ancient times was truly dark and ruthless.

What a dog of an emperor; he is useless at governing the country and useless at fighting wars, yet all the filthy schemes in his belly are used to deal with his own son!

Thinking of this, Bai Wei blurted out.

"Dog emperor, sooner or later, I will help Xiao Moting depose you!"

In ancient times, cursing the emperor was a capital crime, punishable by beheading at best, or the execution of one's entire clan at worst.

But in the modern era, no matter how much she cursed, the emperor could do nothing to her.

After cursing, Bai Wei picked up the Jade Pendant in her hand.

She had been to Daliang twice, and there were already two cracks on the Jade Pendant.

She thought for a moment and wrote a note to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, I will think of a way to handle the matter on your end first. If there are any movements from the Yuan Family Army, let me know at any time."

"I cannot come to Daliang often because the Jade Pendant will develop cracks..."

Bai Wei told Xiao Moting about the matter of the Jade Pendant.

After a long while, Xiao Moting sent a note back, writing many words.

"Bai, my Jade Pendant has not developed any cracks. I think that perhaps every time one takes the Jade Pendant to another space, it cracks once."

"The Jade Pendant was given to me by my mother, who said it was an heirloom of the Yun Clan."

"The Yun Clan used to live in a village near Wushan, but I am not very clear about the specific situation of the family in the past, and my mother rarely mentioned it. However, rest assured, I will write to my mother right now and will certainly find out clearly about the Jade Pendant."

Bai Wei put away the note.

She had spent only a few days going to Daliang, yet she had obtained many strange clues.

The Daliang State Preceptor from a thousand years ago, Zhou Yanli, and the modern Archaeology Professor, Zhou Yuchuan, looked exactly the same...

Why did Zhou Yanli keep saying that she was impersonating the Goddess of the Divine Witch Tribe and had taken things from the Treasure Vault...

What was the origin of the Divine Witch Tribe...

All of this was a mystery.

Now that she was still in Yanjing, she was afraid that she could only find the answer once she returned to Qingshan Village and went to the excavation site of the Zhenbei King Tomb.

But for now, she had to solve the predicament of the Northern Frontier Army first!

Bai Wei cleared her thoughts and prepared to drive the Recreational Vehicle away.

Suddenly!

A familiar man in white robes appeared in her line of sight, his clothes fluttering, his appearance peerless.

Bai Wei's heart gave a start, and she instantly felt a murderous intent rushing toward her.

That panic of being choked by the throat, only one step away from death, surged from her heart.

The hair on her body stood on end, and she screamed out.

"Zhou Yanli!"

He had actually pursued her and come to the modern era!
