The Prince saw that Chu Ge spoke with such certainty, and frowned at him, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I saw that person’s face clearly. That person is none other than the owner of this Jade Pendant, the Princess He Shuo."

Chu Ge stood upright, his gaze fixed on the Prince, emanating a powerful aura that made the Prince feel uneasy.

But this unease was temporarily suppressed by him.

"Did you really see that person was the Princess Consort?" The Prince asked again, uncertain.

Chu Ge nodded, "It’s absolutely true. I have no reason to lie about this. At the same time, beside her was Ye Liang, the eldest lady of Marquis Ye Mansion."

"How could they know each other?"

The Prince asked instinctively, then realized it was a pointless question, so he said no more.

"Prince, I just told you, the Princess Consort has changed. She’s not the Princess Consort she used to be. Do you believe it now?"

The Old Gang Leader said.

Chu Ge nodded in agreement, "They came from the same time-space as me. They came here targeting me."

"Targeting you?" The Prince was puzzled, "What’s so special about you? Why are they targeting you?"

Previously, the Princess Consort had already paid too much attention to Chu Ge, which made him uncomfortable. Whether the Princess Consort now is the real Princess Consort or not, their affection was real, and she still holds her title as his Princess Consort.

Now hearing Chu Ge say they all came for him, it made him feel even more uneasy.

Thinking about it, his words unintentionally became a bit aggressive.

"Chu Ge, one shouldn’t be too arrogant. You keep saying they are reviving, so why are you still intact?"

"We haven’t really started fighting. If it had started, I believe the military camp wouldn’t be so quiet now."

"There’s truth in what you’re saying. I’m just very curious. Since you say they came for you, why haven’t you fought? Did some other situation occur?"

"Prince, saying all this now is of no use. The most crucial thing now is to find the Princess Consort and Ye Liang. If they go to Gourd Island and damage the Time-Space Gate, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Prince felt that what the Old Gang Leader said also made sense. He pressed his lips together tightly, pondered for a moment, then shouted, "Come in!"

"At your service!" Immediately, someone rushed in.

"Search the entire camp for the whereabouts of... find Ru Xue and Ye Liang."

"At your..." Just as he was about to say ’command,’ the person felt something was off. He looked puzzled at the Prince, "Prince, who is Ru Xue?"

Who is Ye Liang? They didn’t know either of these people, so how could they catch them?

"It’s the Princess Consort and the eldest lady of Marquis Ye Mansion!"

"What?" The soldier was stunned, searching the entire camp for two women? And women of such standing!

Wait! When did two women show up in their camp?

The Prince saw he hadn’t moved and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing here for? Get going!"

"Yes! I’m going right away!"

That person scrambled out, rolling and crawling all over.

The Prince glanced at Chu Ge. From the beginning, Chu Ge’s aura and demeanor hadn’t seemed ordinary.

The Old Gang Leader had previously told him that Chu Ge was the Mad Dragon, the one to stabilize the country. This was precisely the moment.

To be honest, the Prince had his doubts. He didn’t believe in these predestined prophecies. He only believed in himself! He believed that fate was under his control.

"The Old Gang Leader said you’re the Mad Dragon, but I’ve never seen your true skills. Besides medical skills, what else can you do?"

The Prince asked.

Chu Ge smiled, "That’s the Old Gang Leader flattering me. I’m no Mad Dragon. I’m just an ordinary person, an utterly ordinary person, caught in this temporal chaos as a victim."

He paused, his eyes showing a subtle glint, "I know you may not believe what I’m saying, Prince, and might even suspect I’m in league with Wei Yongxiang, right?"

The Prince was taken aback, then fell into silence. Chu Ge was right; he indeed thought that.

"It’s actually understandable, human nature is universal. Everyone would think that, especially after the disasters you’ve endured. They’re not something that can be described in a few simple words."

Chu Ge said.

Although these words didn’t sound pleasant, they made sense. The Prince pressed his lips lightly, looked at Chu Ge, and sneered, "You’re quite candid."

"Why fear what you haven’t done?" Chu Ge countered, "I’m not with Wei Yongxiang. I only heard about what happened between you all upon arriving here. To be honest, I came here affected by the temporal chaos. In our time-space, the temporal chaos has already erupted."

The Prince remained silent.

"The reason I ended up in your time-space wasn’t a coincidence. It was because there’s a problem with your time-space mirror. It’s also what the Old Gang Leader feared would have repercussions. If you don’t fix it in time, more people like me from other time-spaces will arrive in the future. By then, I can’t guarantee that they won’t be interested in your Daye Country as I am not."

The Prince lowered his eyes, concealing the complexity of his emotions. After a while, he finally spoke, "Can you absolutely guarantee to control that force?"

"I can’t guarantee it because I haven’t seen it. But I’ll do my best to stop it."

"How can I trust you?" The Prince could never convince himself. He’d never seen Chu Ge’s real capabilities, and he couldn’t bring himself to trust Chu Ge’s words readily.

"I have no way to prove it, and you can only believe." Chu Ge spoke with a calm tone, leaving no room for refutation in his words.

The Prince was at a loss for words for the first time, stumped by a commoner. What good was high rank and power? Was he not now manipulated by a nobody?

He felt very displeased, "This matter is of great importance, I need to consider it carefully."

"Prince, there’s not much time to consider. They’ve been in this time-space for nearly three months. Once three months are up, they will disappear from our time-space, and at the same time, the Time-Space Gate will open. By then, no one can withstand the temporal turbulence, and the consequences will be even more severe."

The Prince understood his meaning. Regardless of what, this disaster couldn’t be avoided.

"Prince, since it can’t be avoided, why don’t we trust Chu Ge once? If he truly can stop it, tens of thousands of people won’t have to suffer the pain of disasters again."

The Old Gang Leader, seeing the Prince’s expression soften, quickly added.

The Prince didn’t speak for a while. He seemed to be struggling. In the end, he sighed deeply, "It seems there’s no other choice now."
