"...But what he said must be true."

Song Siyao lowered her eyes, unsure whether to tell her companions about Fengye's existence.

She gently tugged at her older sister's sleeve under the table.

Song Tingwan glanced sideways in confusion, meeting the gaze of Song Siyao, who seemed hesitant to speak.

She understood.

"You can ask that senior what he thinks," Song Tingwan said softly. Apart from Song Siyao, everyone else looked at her blankly.

"What did Master say? What senior?" Baili Xijiang frowned, his mind blank.

Shen Zhuochuan pondered, wondering why he couldn't understand even though he was right beside Wan'er.

He reflected, wondering if he hadn't paid enough attention to A Yao.

Which senior did Ayao meet this time?

Wanqiji quietly sipped his spiritual tea. In any case, Wan'er and Shen Zhuochuan always spoke in a profound way, and he had become so bewildered that he had gotten used to it.

Qin Xi obediently held the tea in both hands and drank it. She was too tired and exhausted. If she couldn't understand it, so be it.

While his companions displayed various expressions, Song Siyao had already asked Fengye for his opinion.

Fengye's original words were—

Sure, remember to tell them about my glorious past.

That tone was strangely arrogant.

Song Siyao put down her teacup.

The teacup collided with the table, making a crisp sound.

"I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Song Tingwan waved her hand and set up the Imperial Security Barrier.

Song Siyao watched as he added another layer inside her barrier.

Shen Zhuochuan's fingertips twitched slightly, and as he raised his eyes, he tentatively added another layer.

The two sisters were never this cautious when they first spoke of destiny.

Wan Qiji looked up, then at the sisters' solemn expressions, and obediently cast a layer of demonic energy barrier.

Baili Xijiang looked at the four layers of barriers surrounding the six people, and it was rare for him to fall silent.

He and Qin Xi made eye contact unintentionally, and both of them were a little dumbfounded.

Or... should they add another layer?

"..."

Seeing their expressions, Song Tingwan chuckled and covered her mouth to suppress her laughter, saying, "That's enough, Ayao, please continue."

Song Siyao pressed down on the corners of her lips, hummed in agreement, and continued.

"From the moment I became conscious, there was an elder within me."

"He taught me how to find food, how to speak, how to identify objects, and how to avoid danger."

"More than a senior, he's like a grandfather who taught me how to grow up."

"Later, when I started cultivating, I realized that my dantian had been occupied by a jade pendant, and my grandfather, who always chatted with me, was inside the jade pendant."

“That jade pendant is called a heirloom jade by evil spirits.”

Fengye was nagging and reminding her not to forget to talk about how amazing he was when he was young.

But as she spoke earnestly, saying that her presence was more like that of a grandfather, Fengye fell silent.

He clutched his heart, moved to tears.

This little girl has never called him grandpa.

I have never said anything so moving before.

"This senior was named Fengye. In his lifetime, he was one of the top experts in the cultivation world, and his Floating Life Sword Technique was famous throughout the six realms."

Song Siyao couldn't resist and fulfilled the old man's wish.

The tone was somewhat helpless, yet it also sounded like someone boasting about how amazing their elders were.

Baili Xijiang exclaimed enviously, "Is this your good fortune, little sister? But if this very powerful senior was with you from the moment you became conscious, why was your cultivation level so... low back then?"

Logically speaking, someone with such an opportunity should have started cultivating from a young age. He remembered that when they met in the outer sect, A Yao's cultivation level was nowhere near as good as her combat experience.

Song Tingwan sighed for her sister, "That's a long story."

It's hard to explain in a short time.

Wan Qiji looked at Song Siyao and felt a little sorry for her.

If she could cultivate from a young age, her growth rate would probably be even more terrifying.

Qin Xi and Shen Zhuochuan, who held countless intelligence reports, changed their expressions repeatedly.

Qin Xi opened his mouth, hesitated several times before stopping, and then asked again as if unsure, "Is the jade on Sister A Yao truly a priceless heirloom?"

After asking the question, she looked up at the four layers of barriers, her brows furrowing with worry. "Should we add a few more layers of barriers?"

Shen Zhuochuan waved his hand and added two more barrier-type magical artifacts. Seeing this, Qin Xi hesitated and then added the strongest barrier that could isolate everything.

Seeing the two of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Song Tingwan and her sister exchanged a glance and asked, "Do you know anything?"

Song Tingwan only knew some vague rumors.

Some say that there is a chance to ascend to heaven in jade heirlooms.

It is known from the previous two lifetimes that evil spirits care a lot about and need the heirloom jade.

Otherwise, the clan wouldn't have been wiped out in the first generation.

As for Song Siyao, both she and Fengye were quite confused.

One regained consciousness in a jade pendant after death, while the other had possessed a heirloom jade since childhood, but felt it had no other use except for bringing her an old man.

Qin Xi rarely looked at Shen Zhuochuan, and both of them seemed to be deep in thought.

Qin Xi pondered for a moment, then put down his teacup and spoke first: "I learned that the Heirloom Jade was in the secret vault of the Heavenly Mystery Sect."

"The secret vault of the Heavenly Mystery Sect contains secrets that cannot be revealed to the public, or secrets that could lead to great disaster if they were to be leaked."

"It is said that ten thousand years ago there was a rumor that those who obtained the heirloom jade would ascend to heaven."

"But all those who possessed the heirloom jade during those ten thousand years have died."

"Therefore, the transformation of heirloom jade from something people scrambled for to something they avoided has taken thousands of years to prove."

"Over time, there was no more news of the legendary jade in the cultivation world."

After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Song Siyao and Fengye also fell silent.

Feng Ye hissed and muttered to Song Siyao, "Don't be afraid, girl. I wasn't in any of those legendary jade pieces before, and those rumors have nothing to do with us."
