Jian Yixue frowned deeply; her master had never told her these things.

Suddenly, Jian Yixue thought of something, took the jade pendant from her mother's hand, closed her eyes and with a thought, the "Shennong Token" appeared in Jian Yixue's hand in no time.

"Mom, are you and Master both in the organization behind this token?"

Dongfang Tinglan was startled when she saw it and quickly took it to examine it. "You found it in my boudoir?"

She hid the token when she left, hoping to escape the past, but she never expected it to see the light of day again.

Jian Yixue nodded at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Yes, when I was looking for clues about my mother's whereabouts, I went back to the Dongfang family and found this by accident in my mother's boudoir."

Dongfang Tinglan asked with some concern, "Besides you, who else has seen this token?"

Jian Yixue truthfully replied, "Mo Han, my maternal grandparents, my cousin, and Master Fuchen."

Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good then."

Those were her closest family members, so she wasn't worried. And Fu Chen was her friend of many years, so naturally he wouldn't betray her.

"Mom, why is that?" Jian Yixue asked, puzzled.

Dongfang Tinglan said in a deep voice, "Behind this token is actually an extremely terrifying hidden organization, which can be described as both righteous and evil. I don't want you to get involved, and I have been missing for many years, so they must have given up looking for me. I don't want our family to get involved in this vortex."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded, immediately understanding what was going on.

This organization must be something that is not governed by modern laws, otherwise why would my mother be so afraid?

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Then what is this jade pendant that Master gave me?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan glanced at the jade pendant and said, "That is the most precious secret treasure of Shennong Pavilion. I specially entrusted it to my senior brother for safekeeping when I left the organization. I never expected that he would give it to you."

"Perhaps it's all fate," Dongfang Tinglan sighed helplessly.

Jane asked, "Is there anything special about it?"

Dongfang Tinglan fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, she decided to tell her. She then said, "I don't know the specifics, and my master didn't tell me either. But I heard from the people inside that if it meets a destined person, it will be a heaven-defying existence."

After pondering for a while, Jian Yixue retrieved the purple jade pendant from Dongfang Tinglan.

Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Mom, I'm taking you somewhere. Don't be afraid."

Dongfang Tinglan asked in confusion, "Where are you going so late at night?"

"Close your eyes," Jian Yixue said instead of answering Dongfang Tinglan's question.

Although Dongfang Tinglan was very puzzled, she still did as instructed.

Seeing Dongfang Tinglan close her eyes, Jian Yixue also closed her eyes, and then her mind stirred.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jian Yixue said, "Mom, you can open your eyes now."

Dongfang Tinglan slowly opened her eyes and was immediately startled by the scene before her.

She clearly remembered that just a second ago she was in her daughter's room, but in the blink of an eye she was back in a strange place.

Dongfang Tinglan reached out and pinched herself; a sharp pain made her realize that what she was seeing was not a dream.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Jian Yixue and asked, "Xue'er, what's going on?"

Jian Yixue: "Mom, this is the internal space of the jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan froze on the spot for a long time.

It took her a while to react, and she looked at Jian Yixue with great surprise, saying, "Xue'er, is the legend true? Are you the destined one from the legend?"

Jian Yixue nodded helplessly and said, "It seems so."

She never imagined that this space-time continuum had such an origin.

It took Dongfang Tinglan a long time to accept this fact, then she said seriously, "Xue'er, who else knows about this?"

Jian Yixue said, "Besides you, Mom, Mo Han also knows."

Dongfang Tinglan nodded and said, "This matter must be kept secret. It concerns your life and safety, so we can't be careless."

Still not entirely at ease, she continued, "Xue'er, this matter is even more important to keep secret than the token. If those people find out about this, your life will never be peaceful again."

You should know that those people have been trying for thousands of years to find their destined partner.

If she had known that Jian Yixue was the one in question, it would have been a terrible ordeal for her.

Jian Yixue said solemnly, "I understand, Mom. I will never tell anyone except my closest family and friends."

She was well aware that such an extraordinary existence would definitely bring her a lot of unnecessary trouble if it were discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

Although she wasn't afraid of trouble, she preferred to avoid it, but she wasn't afraid if trouble came her way.

"Yes, it's good that you understand the seriousness of the matter. I've only ever heard of such things in legends; I never imagined it would actually happen in reality."

I'd heard my master say before that the Shennong Pavilion had spent their entire lives searching for a secluded, desolate realm in pursuit of the secret to immortality. I originally thought it was just nonsense, but now it seems there might actually be such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned and fell into thought.

The Desolate Realm.

This is indeed a peaceful, primitive world, a true paradise.

As for the method of achieving immortality.

Isn't this referring to time within space?

One day inside, one hour outside.

Human lifespan is originally one hundred years. In the outside world, one can only live for a maximum of one hundred years, but inside, one can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. This can indeed be called immortality.

Jian Yixue said, "Mom, the space is very safe. Even if they find out, it won't be easy for them to find me. No one can enter the space without my permission, and the jade pendant can also become invisible, so you don't need to worry."

Besides, even if they know I'm the destined one, I'm not someone who can be easily manipulated.

Then, feigning mystery, she leaned closer to Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Mom, you don't know this, do you? Your daughter is very capable. I used to be the head of an assassin organization."

Dongfang Tinglan asked in surprise, "Xue'er, are you an assassin?"

Jian Yixue nodded and said, "Yes, back then..."

Jian Yixue told Dongfang Tinglan everything about how she joined Youyue and her identity as an assassin.

This was to reassure her that she was capable of protecting herself.

What Jian Yixue didn't expect was that Dongfang Tinglan cried sadly after hearing everything.

Jian Yixue asked with a puzzled look, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Dongfang Tinglan said with deep remorse, "It's all your parents' fault for making you suffer so much."
