My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang heard the words, paused briefly, and looked towards Prince Ning’s Commandery Princess, "Your Highness, could you really be in the know?"

Cheng Guang’s tone was one of astonishment, his face revealing amazement.

He truly had not considered that the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning would be aware of the remnants of Great Chu.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning nodded with a smile, her dimples blossoming like flowers, "I do, those remnants of Great Chu are far as the horizon yet right before your eyes." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cheng Guang frowned slightly, "Far as the horizon, yet right before my eyes?"

He started to suspect that the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning was hinting at him; could she possibly know of his real identity?

That was impossible, wasn’t it?

How could the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning have learned of his identity?

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning did not offer much explanation, but gracefully stood up, her skirt trailing behind her, carrying a pleasant fragrance as she walked up to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang sensed the Commandery Princess bore him no ill will and thus remained still.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning leaned close to Cheng Guang, rising on her tiptoes, her red lips nearing his ear, bringing with them a slightly moist whisper.

"In this world, the so-called remnants of Great Chu are none other than you and me."

After the Commandery Princess had spoken,

Cheng Guang’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning in disbelief.

The remnants of Great Chu, other than you, are me...

The meaning of this statement was undeniably explosive.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning wasn’t just jumping out of the woodwork; she was also peeling away her own guise.

How could this be??

How could she possibly know his identity??

Could the Restraint Pearl have lost its effectiveness???

Cheng Guang’s heart was thunderstruck, his pupils contracted suddenly, and his forehead broke out in profuse sweat as his body tensed up sharply.

Qin Beifeng, who was very close to Cheng Guang, also overheard the openly spoken words of the Commandery Princess.

His body stiffened for a moment, staring intently at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

As if seeing her for the first time.

His eyes trembled.

Qin Beifeng had not noticed before, but with the Commandery Princess’s reminder, he suddenly felt she bore a striking resemblance to the Prince from years past.

All grown up.

More beautiful.

And her demeanor had matured.

Could the Commandery Princess indeed be their lord?

Then, did what she say mean that the Princely Heir is also from Great Chu??

Upon this thought, Qin Beifeng felt utterly astonished.

Don’t be ridiculous.

The Princely Heir is a scion of Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

How could he be a person of Great Chu?

That’s illogical!

Qin Beifeng’s heart shook violently, plunging into the greatest perplexity of his life.

Seeing Cheng Guang’s shocked expression, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning smiled and pulled out a fragrant Brocade Handkerchief, tenderly wiping Cheng Guang’s forehead, saying with a smile, "You don’t believe it, do you?"

"I didn’t believe it at first, either."

Cheng Guang snapped back to his senses, staring blankly at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning before composing himself, feigning ignorance of what she was talking about.

"The Commandery Princess must be jesting, such jokes are better left unmade."

Having said this, Cheng Guang then sought to leave immediately.

The hand of the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning stopped mid-air; she wasn’t angry nor did she stop him, instead watching Cheng Guang with a pleasant smile as he left.

Cheng Guang had just stepped out of the gate when he suddenly froze.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear, familiar and cold, devoid of any emotion.

[Mission completed.]

[Would you like to claim the reward?]

This isn’t right.

How could the mission be completed?

Cheng Guang was first dumbfounded, then grasped something, and abruptly turned his head to look at the Commandery Princess in the courtyard proudly observing him with a warm smile.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning waved at Cheng Guang as if saying goodbye, her brow and eyes smiling.

"It is normal for the Princely Heir not to believe at this time," she said.

"That being said, the yellow flower that the Princely Heir gave me back then was indeed beautiful."

"You might as well return to Great Zhou soon, Great Yan may truly become as chaotic as you said."

After the Commandery Princess had spoken,

Cheng Guang remained silent for a moment, then promptly opened his storage ring, only to see that the dazzling yellow flower inside had vanished.

He suddenly made a connection, his brow relaxed, and he shook his head with a self-deprecatory laugh.

Looking at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning, Cheng Guang asked with a smile, "You’re not leaving?"

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning shook her head slightly, her starry eyes twinkling, as she raised her gaze to the sky, "I’m not leaving."

"There’s too much for me to do here."

Cheng Guang’s brow furrowed slightly, teasingly saying, "What can you do? Is it even possible for you to preserve your own life?"

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning glanced at Cheng Guang, wrinkling her nose. Among her dignity and grace, she carried a playful spirit, saying,

"I’m much fiercer than you think."

"You’d better worry about saving your own life. The exposure of your identity will have far more serious consequences for you than for me."

After the Commandery Princess had spoken, she looked towards Qin Beifeng.

Seeing Qin Beifeng’s eyes brimming with tears, the Commandery Princess felt a surge of guilt.

She sighed deeply.

"General Qin, you have suffered much during this time," she said.

General Qin immediately knelt on one knee, bowing to the Commandery Princess, his tears flowing freely.

"Your Highness! Your servant..."

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning shook her head, cutting off General Qin’s words, "General Qin, from now on, please follow the Princely Heir instead."

"You don’t need to follow me anymore."

General Qin’s lips parted slightly, looking at the Commandery Princess, then at the nearby Cheng Guang, somewhat puzzled by the meaning of the Commandery Princess’s recent words.

"Your Highness, you just said the Princely Heir is also a person of Great Chu...?" General Qin asked tentatively.

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning nodded slightly, her starry eyes watching Cheng Guang, and nodded with a smile, "Of course, he is."

"The Crown Prince of Great Chu, after all, holds much higher status than this princess of Great Chu from who knows how many years ago."
