Long Xiaoyuan instinctively made this decision without a second thought.

It was probably because he didn’t regard the imperial palace as his home.

But, he couldn’t return his home in the modern world...

Although Shi Qingzhou made him feel at home in this world, he still felt blank sometimes.

He knew that Shi Qingzhou was a living person, not the protagonist of that novel, so he shouldn’t only consider Shi Qingzhou as the leading role of that novel.

However, he wondered sometimes...if he also considered himself a person in this world, was he also a character in that novel?

Did he really exist?

Or didn’t he actually care about the last thing?

He found himself a little affected as a man. Having patted his head, he looked at the familiar place outside of the imperial palace...

Never mind. Now that he came out, he chose to have a tour outside.

Since he had acted capriciously, he decided to stick to this to the end!

It was said a Marriage Temple in the imperial city was very efficacious. He originally had no interest in it.

But now, he got nowhere to go and unexpectedly thought of Shi Qingzhou and him...

Thus, he decided to go there.

Of course, he made such a decision given that many passers-by talked about the Marriage Temple.

Many people believed it, so must be there a reason for it?

Thus, he went there with the crowd...

“Hohoho, girl, just play with me, okay?”

“Yes, you really want it in a hard way? It’s a great honor our boss takes fancy on you!”

“Yes, it is.”

Three gangsters surrounded a girl at a remote corner who was alone with a small basket full of incenses in her hand. See, she got targeted by the gangsters.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help twisting his lips. Why did such a play take place everywhere?

Did he have to play the “Hero Save the Beauty” game?

But, he already got a soulmate, didn’t he? He wasn’t interested in this at all!

Although he complained this in his heart, he frowned when seeing that the three gangsters landed hands on the girl and still ordered a Shadow Guardian to deal with them with a plan to hold them in prison in case they hurt others.

“Thanks for your help, Master. I’m Zhou Wan and appreciate you very much.”

“Zhou Wan?” Long Xiaoyuan got stunned. “Are you Zhou Wan?”

The girl in front of him wasn’t dressed like she had a rich or official father. Attired in the shabby clothes, she looked dainty with a good mien that showed her good upbringing.

The girl said in surprise, “Yes, I am. Master, do you know me?”

“Er...” Long Xiaoyuan winked and said, “Is your father Zhou De?”

“Yes. Master, do you know my father?” Zhou Wan brightened her eyes.

He said with a smile, “Yeah, sort of...your father is an old friend of mine. Today, I happened to meet you.” Those words were filled with a hint of...sourness.

But, nobody present knew it, including himself.

Who was Zhou Wan? He only wanted to use “ho ho ” to describe it...

In the novel The Empress’s Way to the Throne, Zhou Wan was Shi Qingzhou’s empress...

Her father, Zhou De, was appointed as the Left-Prime Minister, okay?

Therefore, he just hung out in the Marriage Temple but encountered the future empress of his empress?

He thereby only had two words to say: ho ho...
