Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 327 Historical Fork

Yunyi couldn't control her expression. She stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth in surprise, taking a long time to close it. However, she didn't say anything, but instead summoned Sixteen.

[Boss, what's wrong?]

[Sixteen, when I did the small world quests, didn't you say that a small world is just a small world, and once I left, it would be completely unrelated? But what's going on now? Why are all the people from the small world suddenly appearing?]

[Huh? Who popped out? It's just a few ghosts, right? Ghosts and spirits are used throughout history; their appearance isn't illegal.]

[So what's the deal with these people in Japan now? I only went there four times back then, and that was only because the original owner of this body was sent there.]

[Boss, if you can even get through here, why can't you have one or two awakened consciousnesses?]

Isn't this a fictional world?

"Boss, you're so smart, how come you can't understand this? The so-called alternate history is just a branching of history. Your world is one of those branches, so the history you learn and understand is along that line, while this is another line. Look, the people here also study the 'Three Hundred Classics' and the words of the sages."

Where did this world branch off from?

"I need to check this, please wait a moment." Sixteen disappeared after saying this.

The three men knelt on the ground for a long time without hearing any instructions from Yun Yi. They could only secretly raise their eyes, only to find Yun Yi standing there with a sullen face, seemingly quite unhappy. So they quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to move an inch.

Yunyi was talking to Sixteen, so she didn't have time to care about those three people.

Fortunately, Sixteen only disappeared for two minutes and quickly returned: "Boss, I found it."

【You're really amazing. Even though you're already outside the main system, you still managed to find it. Well then, tell me.】

sixteen:……

[Boss, even though I'm no longer part of the main system, I'm still a system. I still have stored memories. I just browsed through them.]

Alright, go ahead and say it.

You know Yuan Chonghuan, right?

[Yes, I know him. He was a famous general who resisted the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he was executed by slow slicing by the Chongzhen Emperor.]

Yes, his soul did not perish after being executed by slow slicing; instead, he was reborn in the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, the year Emperor Xizong of Ming died and Emperor Shizong of Ming ascended the throne. However, after being reinstated, he directly killed Emperor Shizong Zhu Youjian, overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and establishing the Dahe Dynasty himself.

Yunyi: ...

Boss, is there anything else you want to ask?

What's the situation with these three people? And what about that Junko Kurai?

[It's just a coincidence, isn't it? The timeline of the previous mission world overlapped with that of this world.]

Yunyi couldn't help but laugh. Although the explanation felt far-fetched, she had no way to explain or refuse it, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it. Then she looked at the three people and said, "Get up."

As expected of a ninja, he didn't move an inch even after kneeling for so long.

The three of them then stood up. Although their knees were uncomfortable, their bodies remained perfectly still.

"What's your name?"

"Zuo Ye, Song Wei, Shang Yuan."

Yunyi nodded. Sano Matsuo and Uehara are both surnames from Japan. Now, by changing the characters and tones, they have become names from the Central Plains. That's a clever move.

"Where do you live?"

“We ninjas don’t need to live here,” Song Wei said firmly.

Yunyi: ...

Shang Yuan suddenly kicked Song Wei: "Grandma, we are your people now, you make the arrangements."

"I can make the arrangements, but I want to know one thing: who sent you to kill me? And what is your connection to the Little White Building?"

"Great-grandmother..."

"Don't call me that, just call me Miss, it makes me sound old." Yunyi hurriedly waved her hand to stop Sano. Although she had indeed lived a long time, she was only a teenager here.

"Yes, Miss." The three of them changed their address in unison.

"Go ahead."

"The Grand Princess sent eight of us to the Central Plains, but our ship capsized en route, and three of us went missing. The five of us drifted for more than half a year before finally reaching the Central Plains. However, the little bit of Central Plains dialect we had learned before was not enough, so everyone called us pirates. Helpless, we could only hide here and there for three years. Fortunately, we have become quite fluent in Central Plains dialect. Next, we need to find the Grand Princess, but we don't know how to do anything else, so we can only be assassins. Two years ago, the Little White Building was recruiting, so we went there."

The other two nodded in agreement, both looking distressed. After all, it had been six years since they left Fusang Island, and the group had dwindled from eight to just three people – it had been a truly difficult journey.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Now, come with me to meet your boss." Yun Yi snorted coldly. Did she think her five hundred taels of silver would be so easy to take?

Moreover, since they've already taken the money, they shouldn't go back on their word.

However, before leaving, she still had a few people bury the two people whose throats she had slit.

These two people actually died unjustly. If she had told them earlier, Yunyi wouldn't have killed them, but there are no "ifs".

Yunyi felt no guilt about it, after all, it was just these three people, and if she hadn't been stronger than them, she might have died at their hands.

Yunyi had previously instructed Nineteen to follow those people in the air, so she knew their general location, which was near Kang'an County.

But it's too late today, we can only talk about it tomorrow.

In town, Yun Hong had already caught Yun Shuang. Unexpectedly, he had become addicted to gambling, which was why he was bribed.

He was originally a servant who had been bought, and it would be right for the master to beat him to death. However, Yunyi did not kill him immediately, but instead fed him a poison and threw him out. As for what would happen to him, that would depend on his own fate.

The next day, Yunyi and Yunhong, along with Zuoye and two others, went to the county town.

The Little White Building is located in the northwest corner of the county town and is easy to find, but once you get closer, you can see that it is indeed quite dilapidated.

"Who goes there? Keep your distance!" There were even people standing guard.

"The one who will take your lives." Yunyi didn't stop, gripping her whip and walking straight inside. "Make Guan Bai come out to see me."

As for those who tried to stop her, Yun Hong knocked them all down.

Seeing that they were no match for the enemy, those people hurriedly ran inside.

Guan Bai was talking with a steward-like man in the room when he heard the servant's hurried report. He quickly got up to greet him, but when he saw Yun Yi walking towards him aggressively, he immediately thought to himself, "Oh no!" He turned around to run, but just as he turned, a whip wrapped around his neck, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state.
