  That person’s identity in the modern era must have something to do with the army. Either that or she really liked these things very much, or else she would not possibly be able to build so many lethal weapons.

  “Yao Yao, these things……”


  “I’ll tell you after we go back, Tian Chang.”


  After returning from the back of the mountain, Ning Meng Yao had no other thoughts. After they returned, Ning Meng Yao closed the door and looked at Qiao Tian Chang sternly before saying seriously: “Tian Chang, those things there really gave me a shock. Those things are too lethal. No wonder the Xiao Empire was able to become so powerful. “


  “Lethal?”


  “Yes.” Ning Meng Yao nodded. “Take for example those black balls. If they explode, they can kill hundreds of people in a flash, or even more. And there are other weapons as well.”


  “These things were from your time?” Qiao Tian Chang could not help feeling alarmed knowing these things. Sure enough, like what Ning Meng Yao had said, if these things really remained, they would become the largest hidden dangers.

  If they were in their own hands, it would be no problem, but if they were to fall in the hands of others…… then it would be troublesome.

  “Yes, so from that, I can somewhat guess what kind of person that princess was.” Ning Meng Yao said softly, the expression on her face was very solemn. Qiao Tian Chang’s eyes were filled with seriousness.

  “So what are you thinking now?”


  “I am thinking, for such a big project, how did she handle it? Or maybe she actually did not leave this place at all, instead, she found another way to continue staying here.” She had this question in her head since the moment she saw the bombs and cannons.

  One more thing, the place that they went today also gave her some clues.

  To be able to hollow out a mountain was just simply impossible to be done in a decade or so, which only showed one problem, the princess did leave the Xiao Empire when she was thirty, but she did not leave the world. Instead, she came to this place and established this secret base.

  “What you’re saying is there were others after her?” Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao in surprise, and with obvious horror in his eyes.

  Ning Meng Yao nodded: “Yes, this is what I think, but I don’t know if that is really the case or not.” This kind of thing was unthinkable, and like Qiao Tian Chang said, it had already been hundreds of years, even if they wanted to pursue the matter, it would be impossible.

  “It’s alright, this matter will eventually open itself to us. There’s no point thinking so much about it now, we won’t be able to understand it anyway.” Qiao Tian Chang did not want Ning Meng Yao to overthink.

  Ning Meng Yao shook her head: “I don’t want to think about these things, after all, it has been hundreds of years, but those things make me feel that there is a hidden danger.”


  “Why?”


  “If they really have others after them, then these things must be known to them as well. If they don’t pursue it then it’s okay. But if they do…… Tian Chang, have you thought about the consequences?” Not everyone would agree to hide their powerful identity.

  Some would do it, but some would not, and those people would find a way to retrieve what they think was theirs.

  “Yao Yao, we still don’t know whether all of this is true or not. Don’t think too much about it.” Qiao Tian Chang felt that Ning Meng Yao was just worrying for nothing, but he too agreed with what she said.

  “Maybe I am thinking too much.” Ning Meng Yao laughed at herself, she also did not know what was wrong with herself. But she had a sudden feeling as if she had missed something.

  Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao helplessly. He shook his head and pulled her into his arms before comforting her silently.

  Throughout the day, Ning Meng Yao was still thinking about it even though she remained quiet.

  Ning Meng Yao was obviously fatigued. One matter came after another, when would they be done with all this?

  “It’s alright, don’t worry, I’ll always be with you.”


  “Okay.”
