Yin Ming was speechless. She even said that "only he could bring back the information she wanted"... He wondered if Liu Ying's premonition was accurate or not.

Yin Ming subconsciously turned his head to look at Ling Yao's expression, and only when he turned his head did he notice that Ling Yao's handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.

Upon seeing this, Yin Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to recall what could have caused Ling Yao to show such an expression.

After pondering for a while, his expression changed, and he nervously rubbed his hands together, hesitatingly saying:

"Senior Liuying, I have another question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it?"

Liu Ying's slightly puzzled eyes turned to Yin Ming, and she nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

Yin Ming scratched his head, and after organizing his thoughts for a while, he said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, although I received the inheritance from Senior Chu Ya, none of the items she left behind involve the past."

The implication is that they don't know who the other person is or where they are.

Lingyao sighed softly beside him. Yin Ming, who was perceptive of Lingyao's various emotions, was now certain that this was exactly what had been bothering him.

"I thought you knew something from Chu Ya's belongings, which is why..."

Liu Ying frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that Yin Ming hadn't been able to find any relevant information.

"Then, how did you find this place?"

Yin Ming knew what she wanted to ask was, if they hadn't found anything, how did they know that all of this was related to her, and why did they come to her door for it?

After carefully considering his words, Yin Ming explained, "Following the clues related to Senior Chu Ya, we obtained half of a diary by chance. The diary mentioned the word 'Mountain of No Return.' After asking Elder Mo and learning that Mount No Return is the Forbidden Forest, we guessed that you should know something, so we rushed over."

Yin Ming didn't know whether he should say that the book was indeed Zu Long's diary. After all, Liu Ying cared so much about Zu Long. If she knew that Yin Ming had secretly read his diary, she might feel that Yin Ming had offended him or something.

What if the fireflies get angry because of this?

"A diary?" Liu Ying's eyebrows furrowed more and more, and as she thought of something, a hint of barely perceptible joy appeared on her face.

"Is it... the First Emperor's diary?"

Upon hearing her guess the identity of the diary's owner as soon as she spoke, Yin Ming was surprised and couldn't help but subconsciously wonder why she was able to get it right on the first try.

Could it be that she had also read the contents of the First Emperor's diary? Otherwise, why would she specifically guess that it was the First Emperor's diary?

Liu Ying shook her head, denying the claim: "The language Zu Long used in his diary was not the language currently in use on the Divine Demon Continent, therefore, I cannot understand what he wrote in his diary."

"It just so happens that the diary was the one I gave to Chu Ya and the others to study—I originally thought it was ancient script, and perhaps some of them knew what was recorded in it."

Looking back now, it's clear that Zu Long wasn't from the Divine Demon Continent, and the language he used certainly wasn't from there.

Since Yin Ming and Zu Long came from the same world, it's not surprising that he could understand that diary.

"After that battle, I retrieved half of the diary from among their corpses."

A flash of light appeared in Liu Ying's hand, and the second half of the Ancestral Dragon's Diary suddenly appeared in her hand.

"I thought the other half was lost until you brought it up. I then wondered if Chu Ya had taken it and it ended up in your hands."

So that's how it is. Yin Ming thought to himself.

He just mentioned half a diary, and Liu Ying happens to have half a diary in her hand as well. Such a coincidence naturally leads her to connect the two and ask a question subconsciously.

Speaking of the diary, Yin Ming stared at the half-book that Liu Ying had displayed in her hand, and his eyes lit up.

What a coincidence! He was just worrying about how to find the other half of the diary, but unexpectedly, he found it without any effort. His decision to look for Liu Ying was definitely the right one, and now he has completed both volumes!

But... it seems this diary isn't very useful right now?

After all, there are no clues to suggest that Zulong was connected to that group from back then. In other words, the diary may not contain any information related to them.

But this is all the clue they have left now.

Forget it, who cares about all that?

Something is better than nothing. Let's try translating it first and see what happens.
