My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang slightly lifted his gaze, first looking at the sky that seemed as deep as the abyss, and then his eyes settled on Li Longhu.

"There’s no escape now."

When the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning heard Cheng Guang speaking like this, she followed his gaze towards Li Longhu, her brows lightly furrowing before she shook her head.

"Great Yan did indeed send a Sky-Man, but now, the only Sky-Man Great Yan can dispatch is Li Longhu."

"Li Longhu may be a Sky-Man, powerful indeed, but as the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, you should have quite a few life-saving measures, so the one who can escape is you."

Cheng Guang chuckled and shook his head, looking towards the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning and said, "It’s not just Li Longhu, but the people of the World Royal Family have all turned their attention to Skyfire City."

"I believe it won’t be long before the emperors of the four great dynasties, and their Sky-Men will descend upon Skyfire City."

"Now that my identity has been exposed, the Duke of the State will probably be unable to sit still, rushing here from the Border Area battlefield. How he will treat the situation is still unknown, so there’s no escape, nor a need to."

Hearing his words, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning paused slightly, seemingly agreeing with Cheng Guang. From the moment their identities were exposed, it was as if their fate had been sealed.

Great Chu was abandoned by the world.

And they, the imperial family of Great Chu, were not welcomed by the world.

In the vastness of the Four Directions Mortal World, there was no place for them to call home.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning became silent, and moments later her exquisite face softened a bit, with her beautiful lips curving into a slight smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t smiled in a long time, or perhaps the current situation was too harsh.

The smile of the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning also seemed stiff.

"Then let’s not run."

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning held her head high, looking up at the sky, with tears shimmering in her starry eyes, like a stubborn child holding back tears.

"Death is just death, but you must not die before me."

"If someone must die, let it be my death."

"I can’t bear the pain of losing loved ones before my eyes anymore, can’t bear it anymore."

Cheng Guang looked at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning. Hearing her words, he realized that after learning of his identity, she truly regarded him as her kin.

He said with a smile, "So you’re going to make me bear it?"

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning, wiping the corner of her eyes and smiling through tears, lightly punched Cheng Guang, "What if I let you bear it?"

"Can’t you show some consideration for your thousands of years old ancestor here?"

Uh.

Calling herself an ancestor wasn’t wrong.

After all, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning was from thousands of years ago.

But since she had been sealed for so long with hardly any change to her body and her temperament almost as big as his, or even younger than his own, it still felt somewhat odd to Cheng Guang when she called herself an ancestor.

He thought for a moment and took out a yellow flower from his storage ring, offering it to the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

Seeing Cheng Guang suddenly produce a yellow flower, the princess was momentarily stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Why would he suddenly give her a flower?

Seeing that the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning didn’t react, Cheng Guang chuckled and shook his head, gently placing the yellow flower near her ear and then tucking her hair back behind it.

"Alright, my ancestor, please bear with it. You can’t be the one to call the shots this time."

Having finished, Cheng Guang seemed to sense something and his gaze fell below the teahouse.

Below the teahouse.

Qing Luan, accompanied by Qin Yanqiu, hurriedly ran up, both of them looking anxious.

"Princely Heir, the Family Head has sent a message... He has learned of your true identity..."

"He...is already on his way here."

Qing Luan’s pretty face turned slightly pale, and her fingers trembled.

In such a situation, Qing Luan felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

Everything had been going well before.

How could the identity of their own Princely Heir be suddenly exposed?

At this moment, Qing Luan was only of Fourth-grade Divine Realm, her cultivation and strength even less than that of Cheng Guang.

Facing a crowd of Seventh and Eighth Rank powerhouses, and even battles among strong Ninth Grade and Sky-Men, Qing Luan could offer no help.

She had originally thought.

That she might be able to help the Princely Heir and shield the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning from the covetous eyes of the many strong characters around them. She could have reached out to the Family Head to seek his assistance.

However.

The identity of their own Princely Heir was exposed without any warning.

The shock left Qing Luan’s head spinning, feeling as if the world before her turned grey and she sank into despair.

Cheng Guang, hearing this, slightly nodded and soothed Qing Luan’s head with a smile, "Why so nervous?"

"Sooner or later the truth would have come out; in this world, no lie can be perfect forever."

After speaking, Cheng Guang looked towards Qin Yanqiu.

Qin Yanqiu’s cool demeanor showed little change. Learning of Cheng Guang’s true identity, not as the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir but as the Crown Prince of Great Chu, her emotions seemed largely undisturbed.

Qin Yanqiu’s cool gaze settled on Cheng Guang, then she lifted her eyes to her father, Qin Beifeng.

"Whether you are the Princely Heir or the Crown Prince of Great Chu, to me, there’s not much difference. One is the person most valued by the Duke, and the other is the person most valued by my father."

"There’s no real difference in status."

Qin Yanqiu saw her father and Li Longhu clashing, with Li Longhu suppressing him with a palm, causing continuous coughing of blood. Her brows furrowed briefly, then she turned her head to look at Cheng Guang, her cool eyes flashing.

"Princely Heir..."

She stepped forward softly.

Gently embracing Cheng Guang, her lips approached his ear, her cool eyes lowered, and she spoke softly.

"Princely Heir, if you can escape, then run away."
