The three of them entered the teahouse and easily found a corner seat by the window.

Chen Ze put down the colorful tower and scanned his surroundings, trying to find something familiar in this unknown space-time.

Tian Siyao gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing the jade bracelet on her wrist, hinting that she had chosen the jade sword today.

She looked at Qin Miyue with gentle eyes, when suddenly a laugh broke the silence between the three of them.

A middle-aged businessman, his face weathered and worn, but his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, sat down beside them.

Seeing that the three of them looked unfamiliar, he took the initiative to greet them: "You three are not from here, are you? Judging from your appearance, this must be your first time in Caizhou City."

Chen Ze nodded: "Yes, we are just passing through and are not familiar with anything here."

The middle-aged merchant smiled and said, "That's right. Caizhou City is an important transportation hub in the Ming Dynasty. I'm a regular here. If you need anything, you can ask me."

Tian Siyao smiled slightly: "Then may I ask which dynasty this place belongs to?"

The middle-aged merchant was slightly surprised, but still replied, "This is the Ming Dynasty, don't you really know that?"

Qin Miyue gently adjusted her yellow dress and said with a smile, "We come from afar and don't know much about the history of this place."

Chen Ze glanced nervously at the teahouse exit, then whispered to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue, "We have to be careful now. The spacetime here is different from ours. We don't know if we'll run into any trouble."

Tian Siyao gently squeezed the hilt of the jade sword, indicating that he didn't need to worry: "As long as we don't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Looking out the window, Qin Miyue said softly, "But now that we're here, we should be careful and try not to attract attention."

Chen Ze nodded, silently chanting the Yin-Yang Mirror in his mind, hoping to find a way to return to his own era.

Seeing the three talking in hushed tones, the middle-aged merchant smiled and said, "You three don't need to worry. Although Caizhou City is prosperous, it is still relatively peaceful. As long as you don't break the rules, there shouldn't be any problems."

The three exchanged a smile and decided to relax and wander around for a while, getting to know this unfamiliar era and also looking for a way back.

Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly in her hand, her eyes flashing with barely perceptible tension.

Looking out at the bustling crowds, she thought to herself that this Ming Dynasty city of Caizhou was completely unfamiliar and fraught with danger to them.

Qin Miyue gently touched the yellow dress she was wearing and said in a gentle and graceful manner, "Now that we're here, we must find a way back as soon as possible, otherwise the longer we stay here, the easier it will be to be exposed."

Chen Ze touched the Yin-Yang Mirror in his arms, feeling the warmth it emitted, which hinted at its power. He nodded, "I think we can look for some clues first."

There must be some connection between this place and our time.

Tian Siyao turned her head to look at him, her eyes revealing a determined light, "Since that's the case, let's take action."

However, we must proceed with caution and try to avoid too much contact with the locals.

Qin Miyue chuckled: "Siyao, don't worry, my Hundred Flowers Powder can make people feel good about us and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Chen Ze took a deep breath, trying to calm his anxiety.

He suddenly remembered that there were some magical treasures inside the Five-Colored Pagoda that might help them find their way home.

But at this moment, he also knew that he couldn't use it casually. After all, this was the Ming Dynasty, and if it caused a sensation, it would only make things worse for them.

"Let's go to the library in Caizhou City first; maybe we can find clues about time and space transformation."

Tian Siyao made the suggestion.

Qin Miyue nodded slightly, "Alright, I can use my magic weapon, Hundred Flowers Powder, to shield us and help us find the answer more easily."

The three of them got up and prepared to leave the teahouse.

As Chen Ze reached the doorway, he inadvertently caught sight of an old man in a corner, sitting intently engrossed in a worn-out book. The old man seemed to sense Chen Ze's gaze, raising his head to meet Chen Ze's eyes. His deep eyes seemed to hold countless secrets.

Chen Ze was startled, and had a feeling that the old man might know their origins.

But this was not the time to ask questions. The three left the teahouse and embarked on their journey home.

Qin Miyue, dressed in a long yellow dress, walked through the bustling city. Although everything here seemed unfamiliar, she maintained her gentle, chrysanthemum-like smile, occasionally bowing her head and whispering softly to the flowers beside her.

Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting its glow on her slender figure and complementing her petal-like face.

Chen Ze walked behind her, gripping the Qingfeng Sword tightly in his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He noticed that the local people looked at the three of them with a strange gaze, as if implying that they did not belong to this era.

Tian Siyao gently took out the Mingyu Huo, and a miniature transparent sphere floated in her palm, emitting a faint blue light.

She looked down and observed, seemingly using the magical artifact to sense the flow of energy around her.

"Finding antique shops is indeed a good idea."

Tian Siyao said in a low voice, "Ming Yuhuo can sense the residual spacetime energy in the ancient artifacts."

Chen Ze nodded slightly. He suddenly felt thirsty and saw a small stall selling refreshing drinks ahead, so he walked over to buy one.

When he handed over two coins, the vendor was taken aback, clearly unfamiliar with this old-fashioned currency.

Qin Miyue stepped forward, took out a pearl, and placed it in the vendor's hand. "This can be exchanged for many drinks, right?"

The vendor's eyes lit up when he saw the pearl in his hand, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

"You can take my stall with you."

Although this bead is not particularly valuable.

But no matter how you look at it, it is a jade bead.

It is worth at least one or two taels of silver.

Even if a street vendor sets up a stall for a week, they might not be able to earn a single tael of silver.

The three continued on their way. Qin Miyue gazed at an antique shop in the distance, a sign hanging on the storefront that read "Ancient Treasure."

The signboard with four large characters, resplendent in gold, exudes a sense of history.

She pulled Chen Ze and Tian Siyao along, and the three of them stepped inside.

The store displays various antiques, some of which are clearly over a thousand years old.

The shop owner was an elderly man with a wrinkled face. He sat behind the counter, busy introducing an ancient jade artifact to a customer.

Tian Siyao picked up an antique and used her Mingyu Huo to sense it, but there was no special reaction.

Chen Ze was also searching for possible clues, while Qin Miyue walked up to the shop owner and asked softly, "Old man, do you have any ancient artifacts related to time travel?"

That's a rather blunt statement, but they don't actually exist in a normal time and space.

The old man raised his head and met Qin Miyue's gaze, a mysterious light appearing in his eyes.

After a long while, he shook his head, unsure whether he didn't know or it was inconvenient to say.

Chen Ze and his group had no choice but to leave the shop. (End of Chapter)
