Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Meeting an Old Friend

"Oh my, how can this person look so much like Ouyang Jin? They’re almost identical." Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui were dumbfounded; from every angle, the person seemed to be Ouyang Jin, even the voice was the same, just looking a bit older than Ouyang Jin.

So, Gu Fan made a guess, "Could this be Ouyang Jin’s ancestor?"

Then they heard someone shout, "Ouyang Jin, the tour guide, can we hurry up and get going? We’d like to visit more historical sites."

Hearing this, Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui were shocked, holding this doubt: "Do Ouyang Jin and his ancestor share the same name? And they have the same occupation too?"

Su Hui said, "Was there even such a thing as tour guides in ancient times?"

To which Gu Fan and Lin Xi shook their heads; they didn’t understand many things about the ancient times.

They then saw Ouyang Jin with a troubled expression reply, "To visit these extra historical sites would exceed our original plan. We’ll need to travel much more and spend several more days than initially planned. I feel quite troubled, of course. More work means more pay, though. If you really want to go, tip me a bit extra."

This appearance, this name, this voice, this profession, and even the trick of charging more convinced Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui of one thing.

Suddenly someone said to Ouyang Jin, "Tour guide, did you offend someone after you came here?"

Ouyang Jin was puzzled, "No? Why do you ask?"

"Then why are three people charging at you with such fury?"

"Ah?" Ouyang Jin turned around and was immediately startled, indeed three people were approaching with a murderous look, and upon a closer look, they were three familiar faces.

Ouyang Jin had a bad feeling, quickly turned around and fled, only to be caught by Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui. The three of them together managed to pin Ouyang Jin to the ground.

"How come you three are here? I’ve traveled to ancient times, why can’t I evade you guys?" Ouyang Jin struggled desperately, but he was no match for Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui and was taken away by them.

The tour group was somewhat confused. Even though they felt the three who suddenly appeared were rough with Ouyang Jin, they seemed to have a good relationship, greeting him in such a way; they weren’t sure whether to help or not.

Su Hui stepped in for public relations, "No worries, we’re old friends with Ouyang Jin. We just need to talk to him."

The people in the tour group were skeptical, but since Ouyang Jin didn’t call for help, they just watched quietly.

Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui pulled Ouyang Jin to a secluded corner and quickly asked, "Dude, never thought we’d meet you in ancient times. This is such a huge coincidence."

Ouyang Jin shook his head with a bitter face, "It’s more like enemies on a narrow road."

"Don’t say that, we’re still friends after all," Gu Fan had just finished speaking when Ouyang Jin shook his head and sighed, "Ever since I met you, I feel uneasy wherever I go."

Su Hui lost patience, "Alright, cut to the chase, Ouyang Jin, how come you are in ancient times?"

This also puzzled Ouyang Jin, "That’s what I want to ask you guys. How come you are also in ancient times?"

Su Hui directly grabbed Ouyang Jin’s collar, "We can’t go back now, and it’s so boring in ancient times, we’re nearly going mad, can’t you tell I’m very irritable..."

"I get it, I get it, I’ll answer your questions right away." Ouyang Jin was truly scared of the furious Su Hui and could only beg for mercy, then honestly answered Su Hui’s question, "Well, as technology developed, the space-time door was invented. More and more people are using the space-time door to travel to ancient times for fun, and my job is still a tour guide, except now I guide tours in ancient times, taking groups here to eat, drink, and be merry."

Gu Fan frowned, then asked, "Please, from which year are you?"

Later, comparing their eras, they found that Gu Fan and this Ouyang Jin were separated by twenty years.

Su Hui saw this as good news that not only was the space-time door not destroyed, but it was also well-known to everyone, meaning there was hope for them to return to their original times.

Ouyang Jin feigned an epiphany, "Is that so? Well, congratulations on being able to go home. Since we’re from different eras, we don’t have much in common, I should get going. I still need to guide my tour group."

Seeing Ouyang Jin trying to escape, Gu Fan grabbed his shoulder, "Hold on, such good friends meeting in ancient times, how can we let you go just like this?"

Ouyang Jin, looking tormented, "What do you guys really want? Please, I still have work to do."

Lin Xi understood what Gu Fan was getting at, "It’s simple. Since you have the space-time door, we can use your space-time door to send us back to our era, thank you, Ouyang Jin."

"What, that’s your angle." Ouyang Jin wanted to refuse, but Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui all gave him an appreciative look.

Thinking it over, Ouyang Jin gave in, from past experiences, he knew he couldn’t shake off this group; he had to help them to the end.

So Ouyang Jin shrugged with a look of resignation, "I can help you, but I’m very professional; you’ll need to wait until I finish guiding the tour, then I can help you return to your era. If you don’t agree, it’s off."

This was a very good answer. Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui eagerly nodded, "Yes yes yes, whatever you say, just as long as you can get us back. But can you tell us when your tour ends?"

"Three days from now, you’ll return with me to my era, then I’ll use the space-time door to help you return to your era," Ouyang Jin answered, giving Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui some reassurance.

Gu Fan was delighted, shaking Ouyang Jin’s hand, "Fantastic, you’re a true friend through thick and thin. I knew I wasn’t wrong to care about you."

"Through thick and thin, forget about it; everything in the past forced me," Ouyang Jin said while making a face as if he’s had enough of past troubles.

But Gu Fan didn’t mind, and returned with Ouyang Jin to the tour group.

"Hold on, I forgot to mention, the cost of space-time travel isn’t low, and my rates have gone up quite a bit. Although we’re friends, let’s keep it clear between brothers, separate matters separately," Ouyang Jin spoke righteously, leaving no room for negotiation, making Gu Fan speechless. It really was the same old Ouyang Jin.
