Yan Jin could tell from the Emperor’s tone that she also knew about the “transmigration”.

It seemed her bond with Jiujiu wasn’t limited to just that brief bond in her dreams.

“What I know is all what you’ll tell me in the future.” The Emperor smiled, “The you at that time repeatedly warned me not to give spoilers, otherwise it would be boring.”

From Jiujiu’s words, it seemed very likely she would return to An Country again in the future, and the timeline should be much earlier than now.

Yan Jin thought of the rumors about the Emperor she had heard in the streets before, and closed her eyes, “Since that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony then. Please help me collect some famous antique calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade ornaments…”

Even if the timelines of the two worlds weren’t quite the same, Yan Jin felt these kinds of intangible cultural heritage, if they could be brought back to the modern era, should make quite a few people overjoyed.

[Although it’s unclear if all of these can be brought back, it’s really great that Yan Jin has this thought.] [The hands of a history student are trembling. So in the future, in addition to memorizing the history of this world, we also have to memorize the history of another time and space?]

“I’m not too clear on how much money these will cost, and in any case I can’t bring my savings back. I might as well give you all my savings, however much should be collected, you collect that much.”

Having said that, Yan Jin sighed, “Who knows if these can be brought back, if they can’t be brought back, just consider it buying some happiness, throwing stones to hear the splash.”

“Our bond cannot be measured with money.” The Emperor: “I’ve already reached the age of knowing my destiny, I may not be able to see you again after this. Consider these my wedding gift to you.”

Yan Jin’s eyes flickered.

It seemed the Emperor’s bond with her in the future was truly deep.

Before leaving, Yan Jin had already taken a few steps forward when she suddenly turned back and embraced the woman sitting alone in the pavilion.

“I’m leaving, take good care of yourself.” Yan Jin paused, then said: “Apprentice.”

[Oh my, what development is this? It’s too unexpected.] [When did Yan Jin take on an apprentice? And her only interaction with the Emperor before was on the Lantern Festival.]

The Emperor didn’t push Yan Jin away, which made her even more certain of her guess.

They weren’t relatives or friends, and she didn’t like taking goddaughters. Then there was only one possibility, the Emperor was her student.

This was the only way to explain why the Emperor’s attitude towards her could be called dependent.

The Emperor’s eyes instantly reddened, “…Master.”

Yan Jin thought of her pawned watch and asked the Emperor, “Was it because of the watch that I gave myself away?”

“Not just the watch, but also that necklace.” The Emperor: “If I hadn’t seen that necklace, I wouldn’t have been sure it was you, Master.”

“Originally, I wanted my daughter to become your apprentice, and even specifically arranged an identity for her that seemed like it would pique your curiosity. Unfortunately, the men in my backyard were fighting over her jealously, almost causing trouble for Guobaorou, so I hurriedly had someone bring her back.”

The Emperor sighed, “But it was also because of this incident that I became certain you hadn’t remembered anything at that time, so I didn’t reveal myself to you.”

Yan Jin waited a bit, and seeing that her shoulder wasn’t damp, she looked at the Emperor’s face and found that she wasn’t crying. Puzzled, “Your eyes are already red, how come you haven’t cried yet?”

“I am the Emperor.” The Emperor emphasized, “The Emperor cannot cry.”

“You’re just being stubborn.” Yan Jin patted the Emperor’s head, “I will try my best to run back and meet you.”

The Emperor showed a smile, “Then I’ll wait for Master to come back in the past.”

After Yan Jin left, the Emperor picked up the teacup but didn’t drink, instead closing her eyes.

After a long time, a drop of water slowly fell into the cup, splashing up a drop of water.

Yan Jin and Yu Shu’s return date was in two days.

In these two days, the Emperor sent Yan Jin the things she wanted, and even specifically decreed to clarify Yan Jin’s identity.

The master the Emperor met at the City of Lights Festival was Yan Jin of the Six Elements.

Without Yan Jin’s attentive guidance back then, there wouldn’t be the Emperor who conquered the country of An today.

The Headmaster of Qingsong Academy, Gu Shan, was the Emperor’s second master.

Even though he held the title of Grand Tutor, that was because after Yan Jin led the troops to win their first battle, she retired to the mountains and forests, without any official post.

Yan Jin’s retreat was so sudden and successful that the Emperor and the other girls back then didn’t even have a portrait of Yan Jin.

Only after they had power did they have an artist paint Yan Jin.
