Splendid Twins

This... is this a farm tool?

Why is it different from what he knew?

There are also... various unheard-of production recipes at the end? ?

For a moment, Master Ouyang's heart seemed to be swept by a violent storm, and his thoughts were like a galloping horse that was difficult to calm down...

Seeing this, Si Yao ran her fingertips across the patterns gracefully and explained:

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. If these compositions can be transformed into real objects, I'm sure you know that they will surely lead the agricultural output of Nanliang to an unprecedented height..."

Upon hearing this, Master Ouyang slowly raised his head and his eyes met Si Yao's eyes that were full of confidence and wisdom.

He pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing something, and finally said, "Such an exquisite object..."

There was both amazement and expectation in his words...

Si Yao knew the hidden meaning of his words at a glance, and said seriously:

"This picture was drawn by me personally. There is only one such picture in the world."

In addition to various agricultural tools, she also added a few more, such as glass making, wine purification, soap, sugar making, and even cement formula...

These things were very common in her era, but here, any one of them was shocking!

Upon hearing this, Master Ouyang's eyes lit up, and then he nodded again, with a little more respect and trust in his eyes.

He retracted his gaze, and then his expression became extremely serious, and said to Si Yao:

"In this case, we will all rely on the Imperial Master. The future of Nanliang may depend on these blueprints."

After saying this, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude and the heavy responsibility of the trust.

Seeing this, Si Yao quickly stood up, raised his hands lightly, and responded with the same sincere gesture:

"Your Excellency is too kind. I cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone. I will need your guidance and supervision in the future."

Her words were full of humility and expectation. This person was not only knowledgeable, but also had a great deal of merit. She must maintain this rare fate and cooperation...

When Master Ouyang looked at Si Yao at this moment, there was a bit more appreciation and approval in his eyes. He nodded slightly and was about to say goodbye, but he saw that Si Yao seemed to have something else to say.

"Sir," Si Yao's eyes moved slightly when she saw Master Ouyang's eyebrows, and she said meaningfully:

"When you return home, you might consider taking a different route. Although it's not as bustling, it has a different kind of scenery."

Master Ouyang was stunned for a moment, then realized that she might have seen something, and said in a deep voice:

"Thanks for the reminder. Goodbye."

After Master Ouyang's figure completely disappeared outside the door, Si Yao slowly sat back in her chair, looking towards the empty doorway. She sneered:

"Aren't you coming in yet?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a slight noise at the door, and then a black figure appeared silently like a ghost.

It’s Gou Huan!

He stood by the door with a playful smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he looked at Si Yao...

"This is a nice courtyard, Siyao. Don't you think it's lonely to be alone?"

Gou Huan's voice was a little teasing, as if he wanted to break the moment of silence.

However, Si Yao's gaze was deep and unfathomable. A barely perceptible hostility was quietly surging in her eyes, like a cold light in the dark night, which made people shudder.

"Desolate? I'm afraid that if even half a person comes, this yard will be too lively!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gou Huan's heart trembled, knowing that she had already noticed something and there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he put away his previous cynicism and his face became solemn.

"You... know everything?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty and uneasiness in his voice.

Si Yao did not answer directly, but stared at him coldly, with a chilling chill between her brows, as if she wanted to see through him!

She couldn't help but sneer and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Gou Huan, I'll give you a chance to explain!"

As she finished her words, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point, and a suffocating tension filled the air!

Gou Huan's eyelids slowly drooped, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time...

Finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"If I say that all this is out of helplessness, will you believe it?"

Si Yao did not respond immediately, but stared at him with eyes as sharp as a knife!

Her silence undoubtedly urged him to continue.

Gou Huan took a deep breath, looked at Si Yao, and then slowly spoke:

"Si Yao, you, a dead soul from another world, carry the hope of rebirth for the dragon vein of Nanliang... It sounds ridiculous, but for the Xiao royal family, it is a matter of life and death..."

"I once saw the fate of my country swaying like a candle in the wind, about to go out. Just when I was worried about it, someone made a deal with me that year. Later... I realized that a drop of your blood was entangled in his soul, and I started to go to North Vietnam..."

As he spoke, he sat down, reached out to pour himself a cup of tea, and drank a few sips in a row, with a bit of self-mockery and helplessness in his voice:

"People like you and me, who walk between cause and effect, have long understood the delicate balance of all things in the world. However, there are some things that we must do without hesitation, even if we know that they are against the will of heaven and will push ourselves into an abyss of no return, because some responsibilities, once shouldered, can never be removed, and some prices, once paid, can never be turned back..."

Having said that, he paused, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Si Yao's face had turned livid, and she gritted her teeth and asked:

"So, for the sake of the illusory continuation of the country's destiny, you dared to attack the innocent Lu Yuan and wantonly extract his soul!"

She laughed in anger, and every word she said contained uncontrollable anger and disgust, as if she was going to ignite the air around her! !

For the so-called "big picture", they were willing to sacrifice the life and soul of a living person. Such behavior is not only cruel to Lu Yuan personally, but also a violation of human nature and morality!

If all the sorcerers in the world use magic as weapons to wantonly harm innocent people and regard the lives of ordinary people as worthless and harvest them at will, then where is the justice and kindness of the way of heaven?

Gou Huan did not deny it. He looked directly into Si Yao's eyes and said frankly:

"Even if I could go back in time and choose again, I would still do the same. Everything in this world has a price, and no one can stay out of it, even if he is a prince..."

These words, like a sharp knife, stabbed fiercely into Si Yao's heart! !

"You...are such a bastard!"

Si Yao suddenly raised her hand and slapped Gou Huan hard in the face with a loud slap!

"Snapped!"

"Do you know how he lived those years? Who are you to decide someone else's life or death without authorization?"

Gou Huan silently endured the slap, his cheeks flushed, and a bitter smile slowly blossomed at the corner of his mouth. He whispered:

"Si Yao, you misunderstood. I did not decide his life or death. The one who really made this decision was his biological mother. I am just a chess piece in this huge chess game, and I have no choice either..."
