"Ling'er, I'm so sorry that this is the only way I can say goodbye to you. I've been planning this farewell for a long time."

Over the years, I've spent very little time by your side. As a mother, I've failed. For certain reasons, your father and I had to face some very difficult things, and we didn't want you, at such a young age, to have to endure them. So, you've had a tough time all these years. And Qingwu, your aunt, she's also sacrificed a lot for you over the years. We owe her, and we must repay her.

Okay, I'll talk more later when I have the chance. I don't know if you'll receive this letter. Aunt Qian watched my mother grow up, so I left it with her. If you meet her one day and gain her approval, this letter will be given to you. Your father said that when you open this letter, it means that you have achieved enough to take on some responsibilities.

I'm sorry, Mom doesn't want to leave you either, but even we have no choice but to leave this powerful country, Dragon Kingdom. Just think, what a terrible thing it must be that your father is forced to leave Dragon Kingdom. Your father is worried that his affairs will implicate Dragon Kingdom, so he has no choice but to leave.

However, we don't want to reveal too much, because those things might be beyond your control. In short, Mom just hopes you can stay safe and sound and not come looking for us. If one day we are strong enough, we will return to reunite with you. Also, please be careful of Kunlun; this place is not simple! My child, your father said that when you stand at the top of the Dragon Kingdom, you might be able to help us, but Mom doesn't want you to suffer like this. Although Mom also wants to reunite with you, it's just too dangerous! Remember, don't take any risks!

Don't worry, my dear Ling'er.

After reading the letter, Qin Ziling's face was extremely gloomy. Judging from the letter his mother gave him, their departure was forced upon them!

Moreover, the opponent's strength far exceeded expectations! Even his father was forced to leave and seek refuge, which means that the opponent's strength must be above any power in the Dragon Kingdom!

Also, his mother mentioned that he should be careful of Kunlun!

Kunlun is home to all the major ancient martial arts sects in the Dragon Kingdom, making it arguably the most powerful place in the country. Even the capital city has to be wary of it!

It seems I need to make a trip to Kunlun.

Although Qin Ziling's strength had reached the pinnacle of the world, he understood that there were countless strong people in this world, and perhaps many reclusive old monsters lurking in the shadows, those guys being the most troublesome.

The most urgent task is to find the forces involved in this matter, and then follow the clues to find out where my parents are.

In fact, Qin Ziling felt that his aunt should know something, after all, she was his mother's sister, and logically, there must be some connection between the two.

However, now is not the time for him to return to Kyoto. If he goes back like this, it will be like a bomb, directly stirring up a storm in Kyoto. At that time, the situation in Kyoto may be completely broken!

"Young master, dinner is ready." The old woman came in carrying a plate of dishes.

Qin Ziling looked at her; this old woman was the Aunt Qian that his mother had mentioned.

Soon, the two started eating. It has to be said that Aunt Qian's cooking skills were indeed excellent. Even the wild vegetables she grew herself were cooked like home-style dishes.

Qin Ziling suddenly spoke up: "Grandma Qian, Mother has mentioned Kunlun many times. Are they also involved in this matter?"

Granny Qian was taken aback, then looked somewhat surprised: "Miss told you about Kunlun?"

Qin Ziling nodded: "It was mentioned."

Granny Qian's expression was complicated: "Actually, Miss is a member of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and so is this old servant. However, due to some things, Miss betrayed the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and because of this, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has been searching for Miss."

"Your mother is from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?" Qin Ziling was somewhat surprised.

He had heard of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion many years ago. It was an enormous force, one of the super overlords of Kunlun, with connections all over the world. It was one of the world's top intelligence organizations, and there were very few things they didn't know.

After Qin Ziling joined the military, he cooperated with the people of Tianji Pavilion several times. It has to be said that their intelligence was indeed reliable. When they cooperated with them, the military had an almost 100% success rate in completing their missions!

Qin Ziling was still somewhat surprised to hear about this organization again.

Granny Qian nodded: "Miss serves as an honorary elder in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, but she's not exactly a member. She just joined because she was very interested in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and the people there respected her a lot. But later..."

She sighed as she said this.

Qin Ziling was silent for a moment, then said, "The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is looking for Mother now? Even they can't find her?!"

Grandma Qian shook her head: "No, it's like Miss has vanished into thin air, we can't find her anywhere!"

"So, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is an enemy!" Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes.

He needs to pay a visit to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, this is an organization he should consider.

Grandma Qian nodded.

Qin Ziling's thoughts were a bit jumbled, and he quickly finished his meal.

"Grandma Qian, are you coming back with me? Or..." Qin Ziling looked at Grandma Qian and asked.

Grandma Qian smiled slightly: "This old servant is too old to go to that glamorous world anymore. I plan to spend the rest of my life here."

Qin Ziling nodded. He now held the old man in high regard, after all, he had accompanied his mother for so many years and could be considered his elder.

Without lingering, Qin Ziling bid farewell to Granny Qian and left the orphanage.

"She looks just like her husband!"

Grandma Qian watched Qin Ziling's departing figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"If those people knew that Miss had another child in the world, they probably wouldn't let it go so easily, would they?"

As if remembering something, Granny Qian's eyes turned cold.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Finally found you, Qianlan! I didn't expect that after all these years, you old bones are still around!"

Grandma Qian turned around abruptly and stared intently at the roof of the orphanage.

There, an old man was standing, seemingly out of nowhere.

The old man was dressed in a white robe with a circular logo on his chest, inside which was the character "阁" (ge).

"Tianji Pavilion, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to show up so quickly!"

Grandma Qian's expression was extremely solemn.

She never expected that this terrifying force would appear as soon as she mentioned the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to the young master!

Is the world about to change?

The old man sneered, "Qianlan, you're nothing but a servant. How dare you take Elder Yang and run away on your own, becoming an enemy of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? What do you think the consequences will be?!"

Granny Qian looked at him and said, "Enough with the nonsense, come on. Today, this old servant, with my life force exhausted, will do one last thing for Miss!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from her body!
