Across Time And Space 270 Is This Warning Necessary?

Once Yang Yun arrived at the residence, Yang Yun and Li Ran was brought to the hall as they waited for Lu Wei to come. A servant came in with refreshments, and soon, Lu Wei stepped into the room.

"I'm surprised to know that you have returned," Lu Wei spoke as he walked in.

Yang Yun shot a glance at Li Ran before he stood up straight and offered a greeting to Lu Wei. "Your Highness."

Li Ran followed Yang Yun's movement clumsily. He looked at the young Emperor warily. This was the first time he had met an Emperor; of course, he was nervous.

"Be at ease," Lu Wei waved his hands. He glanced at Li Ran and gestured them to sit down. The attendant had informed him that Yang Yun came with another person. Therefore, he was not surprised to see someone with Yang Yun.

"I'm glad that you have returned safely," Lu Wei said. Instead of asking Yang Yun about his friend, he was more curious to know how Yang Yun lived in the other world. "I did not think that you would return within the time that Grandmother had given you, especially when I heard that your wife lost her memories."

"I was fortunate to meet a few people who helped my wife and me," Yang Yun said.

"Since your wife has returned, why don't you bring her along with you?"

"My wife went to meet the Crown Princess." Yang Yun smiled.

"Then, you should arrange a meeting for us."

Yang Yun's face turned a shade darker. "You're going to marry the Crown Princess soon. Why do you need to meet my wife?"

"Have you forgotten that your wife has saved my life?" Lu Wei said. "As my benefactor, I have not given her a proper thanks. If it were not for her, I wouldn't be alive today."

"It's enough to convey your grat.i.tude through me."

Lu Wei laughed. He did not think that his friend would be too petty and would not allow a meeting between them. Back when the two of them were staying with the Nanlin Tribe villagers, Lu Wei would sometimes ask Yang Yun about his wife. He admired Yang Yun's dedication to enduring the harsh training to look for Mingyue. But once Lu Wei asked questions about Mingyue, Yang Yun's face would turn sour. It was sometime later that Lu Wei found out that Yang Yun had misunderstood that he might be interested in his wife.

"Forget it," Lu Wei waved a hand. "Since your wife and the Crown Princess are quite close, I will have my chance to see her later."

Meanwhile, Li Ran watched the two of them chatting in silence. He had heard that one should always speak politely to a royalty. But seeing how Yang Yun was conversing with the Emperor casually, Li Ran was worried that they might lose their head.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to escape a life as a royalty?" Yang Yun asked. "But before I leave Da Cheng, you ascended the throne as Qian Rong's Emperor, and now you're marrying the Crown Princess?"

Lu Wei sighed. "It looks like I won't be able to escape this life. No matter how much I wanted to shrink away from responsibilities, it always came back at me," He looked at Yang Yun with a proud smile on his face. "Therefore, I suggested this marriage to the Emperor of Da Cheng, and after the wedding, Qian Rong will be part of Da Cheng as well."

"You found another way to escape responsibilities," Yang Yun summed it up. "That's not something you should be proud of."

Lu Wei rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew that he should not be proud of escaping responsibilities. But, it's not like he has not given this matter a long thought either. Lu Wei really thought that he was not suitable to govern a country.

Coincidentally, both Princess Lingchen and he were forced to think of marriage. Since he felt that the Princess was someone who he can get along with, and Princess Lingchen did not care much about who she ended up marrying, Lu Wei proposed and offered Qian Rong to the Emperor of Da Cheng.

It was an offer that the Emperor could not reject, and he accepted happily.

"You must know how the Jiang family and the Crown Princess are related," Yang Yun said. "Her Highness and my wife are a cousin. If you bullied the Crown Princess and made my wife unhappy, I will not let you get away with it."

Lu Wei watched his friend in disbelief. In the end, Yang Yun only cares about his wife's happiness. "Is this warning necessary? We have to spend a few years together. What kind of man do you think I am?"

"The way a person treats another person would naturally be different," Yang Yun said. "Just because you treated your grandmother and friends well, it does not mean that you will treat your wife well. Therefore, of course, this warning is necessary."

Lu Wei scoffed. He looked away, and his gaze stopped at Li Ran, who sat quietly at the side. It was then that Lu Wei recalled that Yang Yun came with another person. "You don't intend to introduce your friend to me?" he spoke to Yang Yun.

Li Ran straightened his posture and turned to Yang Yun.

"Sorry," Yang Yun said to Li Ran. Then, he turned to Lu Wei and introduced the two.

Hearing that Li Ran came from the other world, Lu Wei immediately figured out the reason why Yang Yun brought along his friend to see him.

"I will notify grandmother once she returned," Lu Wei said. "Since you have kept your belongings from the other world well, I supposed it would not be hard for them to form a portal for him to return. However," Lu Wei turned to Li Ran and said, "You will have to wait for a while longer. As you have heard, I will be marrying the Crown Princess. Before the ceremony ended, the elders from the tribe will not try to form a portal lest it will be inauspicious."

"I understand," Li Ran bowed. "Thank you for your help."
