Chapter 88

When Xiang Yu returned to Lin Yi's residence, he was holding two drunk men.

Lin Yi took a closer look and saw that one of them was Yi Xiaochuan, and the other was an old man with a somewhat ethereal and refined demeanor, though he was also quite drunk.

Xiang Yu put the two down and said helplessly, "When I found them, they were already drunk in a tavern!"

"Get some water to sober them up."

Lin Yi looked at Yi Xiaochuan, who was "buying his own drunkenness," and understood. After all, who could blame him for being given a green hat by none other than the First Emperor of Qin himself?

But he wondered who the old man was.

Lin Yi had some guesses, and at that moment, Xiang Yu was already splashing water on the two men's faces.

Yi Xiaochuan and the old man both shuddered and sobered up a bit.

"Who... who the hell splashed water on me... Brother Yu? Lin Yi?"

Yi Xiaochuan mumbled in a daze, then opened his eyes and was immediately stunned. He never expected that after buying his own drunkenness in the tavern, he would wake up to see two people he never thought he would see.

The old man also sobered up, but he didn't speak, just looked around. When he heard Lin Yi's name, he was surprised. Wasn't he the current Imperial Master and the leader of the截教 (Jie Jiao)?

"Xiaochuan, why have you become like this?"

Xiang Yu asked with a mix of anger and disappointment. Back when Xiaochuan studied under his uncle Xiang Liang, he was full of vigor and spirit.

Now, he had become a complete drunkard, which made Xiang Yu both anxious and heartbroken.

"Brother Yu, I..."

Yi Xiaochuan had a bitter look on his face. His wife had been taken by someone else, and that someone was the First Emperor of Qin, whom he couldn't even challenge!

He was truly suffering inside!

Lin Yi looked at the miserable Yi Xiaochuan and felt some sympathy for this "green hat" brother. He said calmly, "Tell me about your experiences over the past month. I sent you to find Gao Yao, where did you go?"

"Ah..."

Yi Xiaochuan sighed. Seeing this person from the "Time Management Bureau" again, he didn't know what to do! Now he had a woman he loved, the first woman he had ever truly loved.

For Yu Shu, he no longer wanted to leave this era.

But it wasn't up to him to decide. If he could decide everything, his beloved woman wouldn't have been taken by the First Emperor of Qin.

Yi Xiaochuan recounted his experiences over the past month.

After leaving the Lu residence, he went to find Gao Yao as Lin Yi had instructed.

Gao Yao was a star chef in the 21st century, but he was a bit slow. In the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't do much else, so he returned to his old profession.

With his skills, he had already gained some fame in the Qin Dynasty. Yi Xiaochuan found him after asking around.

However, on the way, Yi Xiaochuan contracted a plague. Fortunately, he was saved by the divine doctor "Cui Wenzǐ," who saved his life.

Cui Wenzǐ was the old drunkard beside him.

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Cui Wenzǐ more closely. Indeed, he was the one who had concocted the elixir of immortality.

Cui Wenzǐ—according to ancient Chinese folklore, he was a sage. He was a physician from the Qin Dynasty, from Mount Tai (in present-day Shandong). He was skilled in medicine and sold medicine in the city. He was known for making pills and powders to help people, saving many lives.

Later, he sold medicine in Sichuan, where people regarded him as a "god."

In the TV series "Myth," he saved Yi Xiaochuan's life and later used star dust and the blood of the Black Wind to create three elixirs of immortality.

Unfortunately, the First Emperor of Qin didn't have the fortune to obtain them. The three elixirs were taken by Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao, and Yu Shu, allowing them to live for over two thousand years.

Lin Yi thought that Cui Wenzǐ must have made more than three elixirs and kept one for himself.

Now that Cui Wenzǐ had been found, the elixir of immortality was within reach!

Lin Yi sized up Cui Wenzǐ as Yi Xiaochuan continued his story.

After contracting the plague and being saved by Cui Wenzǐ, he found Gao Yao.

Then, instead of reporting to Lin Yi, he and Gao Yao tried to find a way back to the 21st century, but they had no clue.

Yi Xiaochuan didn't explicitly say it, but he and Gao Yao were trying to "run away."

Although he didn't say it, Lin Yi understood his thoughts, while Xiang Yu and Cui Wenzǐ were confused, not knowing the complex relationship between Lin Yi and Yi Xiaochuan.

Later, Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao met Liu Bang.

Liu Bang, who was in charge of the conscripted laborers, had two of them run away, which was a capital offense. So he sold Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao to replace the missing laborers.

Yi Xiaochuan was sent to build the Great Wall, then captured by Tu An's army. In Tu An, he met Princess Yu Shu and fell in love with her.

After that, Yi Xiaochuan was mistaken by General Meng Tian, who was welcoming Princess Yu Shu, as his long-lost brother "Meng Yi." He followed Meng Tian and Yu Shu to Xianyang.

When his beloved woman was taken by the First Emperor of Qin, Yi Xiaochuan went to a tavern to drown his sorrows and met Cui Wenzǐ, who he hadn't seen for a while. They both got drunk and were "carried" back by Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu and Cui Wenzǐ listened to Yi Xiaochuan's story about building the Great Wall and his experiences in Tu An, including his romance with Princess Yu Shu, and felt a deep sense of sympathy.

It was truly a helpless situation to have one's beloved woman taken by the First Emperor of Qin. Even the mighty Xiang Yu could only express sympathy.

Lin Yi looked at the miserable Yi Xiaochuan and said with a faint smile, "If you want to be with Yu Shu, it's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, the three men's eyes lit up. She was the First Emperor of Qin's woman! How could it be possible?

Yi Xiaochuan also felt this way but picked up on the underlying meaning and asked, "Aren't you going to 'take' me away?"

Xiang Yu and Cui Wenzǐ were confused.

"Not for now!" Lin Yi nodded ambiguously.

Xiang Yu and Cui Wenzǐ exchanged glances, suddenly understanding. It was rumored that the Imperial Master Lin Yi was a celestial being. Was this "taking away" referring to returning to the celestial realm?

Was he here to take Yi Xiaochuan back?

Was Yi Xiaochuan also a celestial being?

The two quickly imagined many scenarios.

Yi Xiaochuan was surprised. Was this person from the "Time Management Bureau" also in love with a woman in the Qin Dynasty and didn't want to leave?

If so, that would be good for him. He wouldn't be taken away and could stay in this era with Yu Shu!

Even if they couldn't be together, they could still be under the same sky.

Moreover, Lin Yi seemed to have a way to bring him and Yu Shu together?

In the live stream, the audience and fans were already沸腾 (boiling) with excitement, watching the drama unfold between Yi Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu, Cui Wenzǐ, and Lin Yi.
