Chapter 872 The Legend of the Dark River 24
Finally, Mu Xuewei shared a room with Mu Yumo, while Mu Qingyang shared a room with a member of the Mu family whom she was more familiar with.
Xie Qidao shared a room with Su Zhe, Bai Hehuai shared a room with a woman from the Su family, and these were the only people living on the second floor.
Everyone else moved to the fourth floor, where the rooms were the same as those on the second floor.
The entire third floor belongs to Li Chu, and Amu won't take them there.
There was one more room on the first floor, and Su Muyu and Su Changhe decided to stay there.
After the rooms were assigned, everyone came down to the living room on the first floor.
Upon seeing this, Li Chu asked everyone to sit down and talk.
Su Changhe, on the other hand, was quite at ease, sitting down with an air of nonchalance. Compared to the slight unease of the others, he was remarkably relaxed.
Su Muyu sat down next to him with a calm expression, and the two sat on a sofa.
A row of people sat on the sofa: Mu Yumo, Mu Xuewei, Mu Qingyang, and Xie Qidao.
Su Zhe and Bai Hehuai brought their own stools to sit down.
The remaining three families were either sitting or standing.
Li Chu sat on the single sofa, looking at their serious expressions, and felt like laughing.
"What are you trying to talk about with all this fuss?"
Su Changhe probed, "Miss Li, we look very different from you. You don't seem surprised at all when you see us?"
"Just call me Li Chu." The girl had heard it so many times that these two words were now all she could think about.
She didn't try to hide anything from him: "You appeared out of nowhere not far from my house; I saw you there."
Su Muyu spoke up: "Then, Aunt Li... Li Chu, do you know why we came here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chu pondered for a moment: "Before you arrived, there were strange phenomena in the sky here. Combined with your sudden appearance, it must be what is called time travel."
"Time travel? Does that mean we're not in a place outside of Beili, but in another... world?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yumo seemed to finally confirm that her uneasy feeling was indeed true, and for a moment she was somewhat bewildered.
The others were also somewhat incredulous, wondering how such a thing could have happened so suddenly.
Even after arriving in this place, when everything was so unfamiliar, I had some guesses, but I wasn't entirely sure before.
Seeing everyone's dazed expressions, Li Chu continued, "If the Beili you mentioned is a famous place, then I would have heard of it. It seems you have indeed traveled through time."
"Beili is a country, so it must be famous. Does that mean we really traveled through time and space and can never go back?" Mu Qingyang also felt like she was dreaming.
Mu Xuewei's words further confirmed the facts: "Before we came here, there were also strange phenomena in the sky over there."
"Is it really that amazing? So there are other worlds beyond our own." Bai Hehuai said, stroking his chin.
Li Chu continued to guide the discussion, giving everyone a brief introduction.
"Tell me about your place. Judging from your attire and the weapons you carry, the two worlds must be very different."
This is indeed something they need to know.
So everyone started chatting for a bit.
"Internal strength, killing, martial arts training—it sounds like a martial arts world." Li Chu looked completely understanding after hearing what they said.
"Then you can't kill people at will anymore. Few people practice martial arts here; it's a peaceful society."
Su Muyu asked, "A peaceful society? What kind of peace?"
"Murder is a crime, everyone is equal, there is no emperor here, and no martial arts world."
These words caused a change in everyone's expression, and a huge ripple was stirred in their hearts.
They don't even know what a peaceful society is like.
However, the absence of an emperor and the martial arts world, where everyone is equal, is completely different from the concepts and ideas they have been exposed to since childhood.
Xie Qidao touched his knife, his expression inscrutable, and somewhat incredulous: "Miss Li Chu, is everything you're saying true?"
"Of course, since you're all here, I have no reason to lie to you."
For a moment, everyone was silent, processing what had happened.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Amu appeared promptly at the appointed time: "Master, what are the plans for dinner today?"
With so many people coming, she had to come and ask them something.
"Those of you who know how to cook, come and help in the kitchen. We can think about the rest later, and learn about them slowly when we have time."
As soon as Li Chu spoke, Su Muyu, Bai Hehuai, and two other people who knew how to cook followed Amu to the kitchen.
For the remaining people, Li Chu found the remote control and turned on the TV for them.
When the television turned on and people started talking, several people suddenly stood up and pulled out weapons.
"Why is someone inside?"
"Put down your weapons." Su Changhe, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
"There's no one inside. That's video recording. You can think of it as a device that records people's behavior and movements. By the way, you'd better not wander around. There are these devices everywhere around here."
No, Li Chu didn't want to explain anymore. These people asked relatively few questions, but she still had to answer them patiently.
When I have time, I'll send out a few tablets and let them learn about it themselves.
"Xiao Qi, ask the Heavenly Dao and the others how they've arranged things?"
"Okay, host, wait for me."
"There's such a thing as a television that can record a person's past?" Xie Qianji became curious about the television after hearing Li Chu's explanation.
He stood around the television, watching it carefully over and over again.
As Su Changhe watched TV, he recalled the rooms and bathrooms they had visited upstairs, the things inside of which were quite novel to everyone.
However, there were some things he had seen before and was quite familiar with.
His gaze shifted to Li Chu, and he gradually became dazed.
As he looked at it, he unconsciously called out, "Li Chu."
"What's wrong?" Li Chu had assumed he was lost in thought, so she didn't ask him why he was looking at her.
Have you ever heard of Qingyun City?
After Su Changhe finished speaking, he stared intently at the expression in her eyes, trying to see the reaction he hoped for, while also feeling somewhat nervous.
"Never heard of it. Is this a very important place in your area?"
Li Chu was indeed taken aback for a moment, but she managed her expression and eyes very well.
If she doesn't want others to see through her, no one else can tell what she's thinking.
I saw only pure doubt and contemplation in her eyes, without any other emotions.
Disappointment flashed in Su Changhe's eyes, and he looked away with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
"Ah."
"Changhe, what kind of place is this Qingyun City?" Mu Yumo asked, having overheard their conversation.
Others heard this and looked over.
“A faraway place.” Su Changhe finished speaking and then stopped talking.
Seeing this, no one asked any more questions.
Li Chu raised an eyebrow. Logically speaking, Su Changhe shouldn't know about Qingyun City.
With Amu in charge of cooking in the kitchen, the dishes were served one after another an hour later.
