Wei Yuan saw Dong Yuefeng's expression and the shock in his eyes, and knew that he was overthinking.

With a slight pause in his voice, he smiled and said, "Old sir, where did your mind wander off to? What I meant was, I have a slightly higher status in this child's lineage, and since she is helpless in Quan City, her ancestors entrusted me to take care of her."

"No matter what her background is, I have to protect her."

"You don't think I'm someone from the time of King Zhou, do you?"

Wei Yuan joked, "Do I look like someone that old?"

Dong Yuefeng and the Bronze Duke of the Shang Dynasty both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sweat trickled down his forehead as he realized he had overthought things. He said, "So that's how it is."

Wei Yuan smiled and looked down at the ancient Bronze Duke. The patterns on it had disappeared, as if the map of Chaoge and the illusion of the words on it were just an illusion. But his palm still felt the lingering heat.

Wei Yuan thought of the bronze short sword that Su Yu'er treasured, the mysterious bird pattern on the sword, and the illusion of the nine-tailed fox that protected her. There was no doubt that Su Yu'er was connected to Emperor Xin and Su Daji, but the nature of their relationship was still uncertain. Reincarnation? Descendant? Or inheritance?

This Bronze Duke was thrown down by Emperor Xin when he self-immolated.

There was a map centered around Chaoge on it.

Could it be that this map pointed directly to the ruins of the Shang Dynasty, the specific location of the divine Chaoge...?

In the era of the battle between humans and gods, imitating the Zhaixing Tower built by Tongtianjianmu.

Wei Yuan suppressed his distractions.

He talked with Dong Yuefeng for a while. It was obvious that after experiencing the scene with "Su Daji" just now, Dong Yuefeng, who was already old, was greatly shocked and his mind was a bit confused. After talking for a while, he got up and bid farewell.

When he left, he pushed the Bronze Duke towards Wei Yuan.

The old Dong Yuefeng sighed, "I am already very old, and I don't know when I will die. In my life, this Bronze Duke has accompanied me the longest. I used to worry that after I'm gone, there will be no one to talk to him anymore. Now that I have found Master Wei, I can finally let go of this worry."

"Please accept it..."

Wei Yuan was surprised, "Are you willing to part with it, old sir?"

Dong Yuefeng smiled, "Of course I'm not willing... but I have been busy all my life, and now that I'm old, it's time to stop. I will live in Quan City and may come to this museum often in the future to accompany my old friend, my old brother. At that time, I hope Master Wei won't find me troublesome."

He suppressed the shock in his heart and regained his usual demeanor and elegance.

Wei Yuan smiled, "Of course not."

He saw Dong Yuefeng off from the museum, watched the old man leave in a taxi, and then turned to look at the bookstore next to him. There was no sign of Su Yu'er inside. From her reaction just now, it seemed that she was very averse to the Bronze Duke, but only when she approached it did the ancient map of Chaoge appear.

At least a part of the map.

Wei Yuan thought it would be better to let Su Yu'er calm down for a while before mentioning this matter.

He returned to the museum and took out the letter that Su Yu'er had left behind when she left. He looked at it and saw that it was from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. When Wu Zhiqi entered his dream for the first time, Wei Yuan had written a letter to the Qingqiu Kingdom to inquire about Nü Jiao and how to deal with Wu Zhiqi's problem.

It seemed that this was the reply.

He sat down in a chair, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter. Surprisingly, it was written in modern Mandarin.

It seemed that Nü Jiao had not stubbornly refused to accept new culture and knowledge during these thousands of years.

"If you want to ask how to solve Wu Zhiqi's problem, Yuan, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Or is it that in your heart, whether as Wei Yuan or the Wei of that year, you think your priestess is a petty, jealous, and cunning woman who only has eyes for Yu?"

The tone contained a smile, but also a faint sense of threat.

Wei Yuan's temples throbbed.

Then he looked at the next line.

"Yes, that's right, I am."

Wei Yuan's thoughts stopped for a few seconds in that instant, and then he slowly exhaled, feeling a sense of helplessness and amusement. He shook his head and silently complained in his heart, "Why are you still asking? You've already admitted it yourself, haven't you?" But his mindset unconsciously became more relaxed, and he continued reading:

"Wu Zhiqi is not a wanton and reckless monster. He was initially revered as the Water God."

"It's just because of Gong Gong and his nature that he once fought against the hundred tribes of Shen Zhou. Now he has been suppressed under the Huai River for thousands of years, and it is highly unlikely that he will harm you and actually kill you."

"And his seal still has a long time before it can be released."

"You don't need to worry too much."

"Also, you were born in this era after all, so why are you still using such a slow method of writing letters?""Once upon a time, the Fox Tribe of Qingqiu changed their appearance and infiltrated the academies of Shen Zhou. They built something similar to a base station in Qingqiu using spiritual materials. Although it couldn't communicate in real time, it was faster than letters. You can use it to contact the outside world."

Then there was a string of account numbers.

Wei Yuan's thoughts were slightly stagnant.

In the end, he could only sigh. It was indeed Shen Zhou, where base stations had been built even in legendary places.

He noted it down and applied, but he hadn't received a reply yet.

After some thought, he tidied up the things on the table a bit and decided to go out and find Wu Zhiqi. He casually summoned the Water Ghost to keep an eye on the house. He then picked up the somewhat lost and silent Bronze Goblet of the Merchant King and placed it on the wooden cabinet, between the pottery and the jade dragon.

The Bronze Goblet of the Merchant King couldn't help but complain:

"I am an ancient artifact. The young master of the Dong family entrusted me to you, and this is how you display me?"

Wei Yuan pointed around and replied, "This jade originally came from King Mu of Zhou, and that pottery is barely in the style of the Xia Dynasty. Xia, Shang, Zhou, just right."

The Bronze Goblet of the Merchant King was taken aback and subconsciously said:

"Didn't you say you made it yourself?"

"Yes."

It 'saw' the museum owner's mouth slightly hooked, he nodded slightly, and politely and gently said:

"But I didn't say it was a fake."

……………………

Wei Yuan had once acted as the god of the Huai River, controlling a vast amount of water, even controlling the Huai River of the God Era. Even though this power had disappeared and returned to Wu Zhiqi, some abilities still remained, like traces left in a cup that once held water.

Basic water control techniques, water manipulation methods, he was not particularly proficient, but the basic water avoidance technique was no problem.

Wei Yuan, in the water, relying on the current, once again arrived at the seal under the Turtle Mountain of the Huai River.

Wu Zhiqi slowly opened his eyes.

His golden eyes stared at Wei Yuan, Ta was too lazy to say again that he was not afraid of death.

"What are you here for this time?"

Wei Yuan sat down and said, "I have something for you."

He took out the prepared strong liquor, happy water, and some food, and then took out his phone. He handed it to Ta under Wu Zhiqi's astonished gaze and explained, "This is something from our era. You can use it to understand everything that's happening in the outside world."

Wu Zhiqi frowned and asked, "Even if I'm sealed here?"

Wei Yuan said, "There are many people in this world who don't go out and use this to communicate with the outside world."

Wu Zhiqi asked, "Are they also sealed?"

Wei Yuan thought for a moment and half-jokingly replied:

"You could say that, only what seals them are blankets and computers."

He didn't mention that he had noticed Wu Zhiqi's interest in the phone the last time he saw him, so he brought it to him. He just briefly explained the things of the outside world and how to operate the phone. As for the language, Wu Zhiqi, who had once entered Wei Yuan's dream, had already understood it thoroughly.

This was a phone from the Special Operations Group, with an independent identity card and account.

Wei Yuan taught Wu Zhiqi how to apply for an account on another communication software.

He pointed at it and said, "Through this, if there's anything, you can send a message."

"You can also have a conversation over a long distance."

"You don't have to enter a dream to communicate."

Wu Zhiqi seemed thoughtful. Seeing that Ta's account was empty, Wei Yuan took the initiative to send a friend request.

Wu Zhiqi stared at Wei Yuan with his golden eyes. After a few moments, he chose to accept.

There was another similar sound, coming from Nujue.

Wei Yuan thought for a moment. Many times, if Wu Zhiqi discovered a special situation or something happened, he might not be able to react in time. Looking at his not-so-many friends, he simply created a group and added Wu Zhiqi, Nujue, Tian Nujue, and Zhang Ruosu from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Zhang Ruosu, who was at Longhu Mountain, was surprised.

Wu Zhiqi stared at the screen.

He saw an emoji appear on the screen.

A row of kittens raised their heads in unison to greet him.

Wu Zhiqi looked at Wei Yuan, "A cat demon?"

Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, then explained, "This is a way of greeting..."

"Like this."

He casually sent an emoticon.

"Welcome━(*｀????*)ノ━??!"

Then Nujue seemed to find it interesting and sent an emoji. It was an empress sitting in her seat, raising her hand to let her loyal subjects rise.

Wu Zhiqi pondered.

Wu Zhiqi was curious.

Wu Zhiqi touched the screen.

On Longhu Mountain, with a ding, Zhang Ruosu lowered her head and saw a new message. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"(°??°)????°Oh ho!"
