Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 687 - 683: So It Was Him

Lin Wanwan told Lu Shouyue she wanted to go back to her room for a nap, and the latter naturally wouldn’t miss this chance for some closeness, stubbornly following her back to the yurt suite.

"Wanwan, let’s take a nap together."

"What, you want to nap too? I thought guys don’t like naps," Lin Wanwan’s nap excuse was merely a pretext, but Lu Shouyue took it seriously.

"I don’t like napping alone, but I love napping with Wanwan."

In an instant, Lin Wanwan changed her mind and said righteously, "Mr. Lu, I’ve suddenly lost all sleepiness. You nap; I want to go out and watch the show filming over there."

But once the little lamb is in the wolf’s den, it’s hard to escape easily.

Lu Shouyue embraced her and fell on the bed, helping her cultivate sleepiness.

Lin Wanwan struggled frantically, but... it’s indescribable.

Truly shameless beyond measure, she was helplessly pressed by him, indulging in affectionate interaction, suffering heavy losses.

As for the nap?

That was impossible to actually take!

After half an hour of tossing around, the atmosphere finally calmed down. Lu Shouyue held Lin Wanwan, sitting on the nearby Imperial Concubine chair and chatting. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Lin Wanwan was asking him about Tang Xuanzang’s journey to the Western Heaven.

Though she could research it herself, she had to find some serious topics to share the pressure of being a girlfriend!

Since her boyfriend is a history buff, why should she struggle unnecessarily?

Lu Shouyue confirmed that Lin Wanwan’s travel destination must have altered based on her current location.

In the Ancient City, she asked about Empress Xiao and Li Shimin; on the Anxi grasslands, she inquired about Tang Xuanzang’s journey.

There aren’t so many coincidences in the world.

He began giving Lin Wanwan a little history lesson. Just when talking about Tang Seng being refused by Li Shimin for the Journey to the West, and secretly heading to the Western Regions, taking on a beard-faced apprentice named Shi Panduo, helping him cross the border, Lin Wanwan suddenly interrupted.

"Wait, what’s the name of that disciple you mentioned? Shi Panduo?"

Lu Shouyue’s heart skipped a beat, noting this key point in his mind, indicating her travel time was around the third year of Zhenguan.

"Yes, Shi Panduo, a relatively short Hu person, revered Buddhist Law, asked Tang Seng to shave his head, becoming his disciple, with clear historical records.

He was supposed to follow Tang Seng to the Western Heaven for scriptures, from Gua State to Yizhou."

"Isn’t Yizhou the place that surrendered to the Great Tang in the fourth year of Zhenguan, established as Yizhou? Are those the same place?"

"Yes, a thousand years ago this land belonged there."

"Oh."

Lu Shouyue glanced at Lin Wanwan, so she’s headed to Yizhou. Thus, she traveled in space but not geography, with the time around the fourth to fifth year of Zhenguan.

"Keep talking; I want to hear more." Lin Wanwan looked up at Lu Shouyue, her big eyes sparkling.

Anyone would feel inclined to pour their heart out when looked at by a beauty in such a serious listening manner, feeling her emotional value immensely, not to mention Lu Shouyue already loves her.

"Shi Panduo helped Tang Seng bypassed Yumenguan, reaching the upper Hulu River, crossing to the Gobi Desert.

Here, the two had a disagreement, with records stating Shi Panduo raised a knife to kill Tang Seng, but was persuaded by Tang Seng’s eloquence.

Tang Seng swore not to betray Shi Panduo after sneaking out, only then did Shi Panduo drop the knife, but the two parted ways."

Lin Wanwan wondered, "That’s strange, why did he suddenly become violent?"

Lu Shouyue replied, "Because the Early Tang enforced strict border policies, strictly forbidding citizens from leaving the country, sneaking out was a major offense, Shi Panduo had second thoughts since the start.

The Li Family claimed descent from Lao Tzu; Li Shimin was close to Taoist ideas and denied Xuanzang’s request for the Western Heaven journey. Upon learning he was in the Western Regions, several orders were made to stop him.

Xuanzang’s Buddhist Law was already very profound; one major reason for seeking scriptures in the Western Heaven was for external support against the Taoists suppressing Buddhists then.

After returning with scriptures, his prestige in the people reached an extremely high level.

But Li Shimin and Li Zhi, father and son, didn’t give them a stage to shine until Wu Zhaao chose Buddhism to aid her ascension."

Lin Wanwan realized, "I see. Is Shi Panduo powerful?"

Lu Shouyue replied, "Historical records are not explicit, but since he left his name in history, he mustn’t be an ordinary person."

Lin Wanwan laughed, "Based on your description of his appearance, he quite resembles Sun Wukong! Is the Monkey in Journey to the West based on him?"

Lu Shouyue chuckled, "Maybe."

It’s certain, Wanwan should have encountered someone related to Shi Panduo during her time travel, but it wouldn’t be him; otherwise, she wouldn’t ask.

"Mr. Lu, do Hu people need the tribe leader’s approval to leave the tribe for the Great Tang?"

"Not necessarily, but it’s challenging for them to reach Chang’an, with higher success following trade caravans."

"Oh."

"Wanwan, you..." Lu Shouyue hesitated to ask.

Lin Wanwan lifted her head from his embrace, blinking at him: "Hmm?"

"Nothing, nothing at all." Unable to resist, Lu Shouyue planted a kiss on her eyelid, instantly shattering Lin Wanwan’s good student image.

"Lu Shouyue! You’re so annoying!" Lin Wanwan angrily pinched a piece of flesh on his waist.

"Ah~" Lu Shouyue shouted exaggeratedly, "Wanwan, you have such a cruel heart~"

After saying this, he pushed her down again for a round of kisses.

After quite a while, Lin Wanwan finally managed to escape his clutches intact.

"Stop! Mr. Lu, go out and play with everyone, I need to study, keep bothering me and I’ll ignore you!"

Lu Shouyue tidied his clothes that got messy from the playfulness, elegantly said: "Okay, I’ll give you space, alright? Little liar."

Lin Wanwan refused to admit: "How did I lie to you? I really need to study, learning medicine is a lifelong journey!"

Lu Shouyue’s mouth turned up slightly, waved his hand, got up gracefully, and couldn’t help but turn back at the door, reminding: "Wanwan, don’t hurt yourself again."

"What? Oh, yes." Lin Wanwan stared blankly into his eyes, feeling like he already knew her secret.

After Lu Shouyue left, Lin Wanwan quickly discarded those inappropriate thoughts from her mind.

She retrieved the Hu clothing washed and dried by the servant from the downstairs living room, put it on again, and wore her leather boots.

Next, she fetched the Yunnan Baiyao, emergency bandages, sterilization kit, and a tea cake bought from the supermarket in the morning, put them in a cloth bag, slung it over her shoulder, opened the Space-Time Gate, and traveled once more to the Great Tang.

Having lunch in the modern world, cuddling with her boyfriend for quite a while, but not even half an hour had passed in the Great Tang; nightfall was just beginning.

Lin Wanwan examined the surroundings before heading toward Baye Feng sibling’s tent.
