“Jue’er”.

The woman in the gauze dress turned to face the two of them and looked at Helian gently as she called out.

Helian Jue immediately cried out excitedly, "Mother! Where...where have you been all these years?"

"I've been looking for you for a long time."

This was the first time Qiao You had seen her brother like this—vulnerable, flustered, and at a loss.

Su Shu stood there with great poise, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection as she looked at Helian Jue.

"Jue'er, don't worry or be sad for your mother."

"You were able to see the illusion mirror your mother left you, so you must have found Youyou, right? Is he alright?"

“Take good care of him. He is the child of the Queen Mother’s benefactor, the hope of the galaxy, and the most important link in saving this world.”

"Don't be sad! Your mother is always by your side, and we will meet again one day."

Su Shu said, word by word, her eyes filled with tears, "This is a gift from your mother to you and Youyou. I hope you like it."

"Your time is up, I'll stop here. Jue'er, you and Youyou must be happy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Shu's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a screen and no one else there.

Helian Jue stood there stunned, while Qiao You stood quietly beside her brother.

About five minutes later, Helian Jue perked up again, "Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

Qiao You obediently replied, "Mm!"

Helian Jue led Qiao You inside, strolling through the manor. The unique residence was in the style his mother liked.

Upon entering the house, Qiao You vaguely heard the sound of water, perhaps because she was a mermaid and was particularly sensitive to the sound of water.

Qiao You stopped and carefully assessed the location; it seemed to be under the floor.

"elder brother."

Helian Jue walked over. "What's wrong?"

Qiao You said confidently, "There's the sound of water below."

Helian Jue immediately squatted down to check and finally found the switch in a corner of the carpet.

The floor opened automatically in the middle, and a blast of hot air rushed out.

"Hot spring." As soon as Helian Jue smelled the aroma, he immediately recalled the contents of a book he had read before.

Without hesitation, the two entered immediately, where a huge hot spring came into view.

Water gurgled and bubbled from the spring. Helian Jue reached out and touched it. It was warm to the touch. Although it was emitting steam, the temperature was not scalding.

What is the purpose of this hot spring? After some experimentation, the two could only confirm that it had a therapeutic effect, but they were unsure which specific aspects it was most effective at.

I walked around inside again, but didn't find anything else special.

The two had been inside for too long, so they decided to go out first.

With a change of heart, the two returned to the stone wall they had just been standing before.

"Brother, we...we weren't dreaming, were we?" Qiao You asked in shock.

I thought it was strange enough that he had so much space out of nowhere, but now there's a manor that he and his brother can enter together? Was it left behind by Aunt Qingyue?

Helian Jue was also in shock, but not at the manor left by his mother, but at the fact that time had not passed when they were in the manor.

The time displayed on the computer now is only one minute after they went in.

The two got together and discussed it; there were just too many secrets involved.

I can't figure it out in a short time.

For example, who gave them the gems and necklace? Qiao Shen, Wei Luo, and Su Shu are clearly from different eras, so how could they know each other? How did they know that Qiao You and Helian Jue could preordain their meeting and attach the access to the manor to these two tokens so early on?

It's so mysterious!

"The secret will be revealed naturally," Helian Jue comforted the little fish in his arms. "We'll explore it slowly."

Qiao You nodded, nestled in her brother's arms, and whispered, "So it was destined that my brother and I would meet all along?"

"I took a liking to the older brother at first sight when I was at the pet store. I had a very familiar feeling about him, so I chose him based on my first instinct."

"Looking back now, I was absolutely right. I was so smart."

Helian Jue held the little fish affectionately, tapped its little nose, and said, "Baby is the smartest."
