Lin Jingge was taken aback again, but followed the invitation and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Gan Lan's mother.

She didn't speak, but listened quietly as the other person continued.

"If you want to get out, the only way is to break the formation. I hope you will take my daughter with you when you leave."

After hearing this, Lin Jingge paused in her hand as she touched the teacup, and looked up at Gan Lan's mother: "And what about you?"

“Me?” Gan Lan’s mother gave a bitter smile and said softly, “I don’t have much time left. My biggest worry is my daughter. Over the years, I’ve raised her to be this way.”

After saying that, she sighed deeply.

"you……"

"I'm fine. I've lived enough for so many years." Gan Lan's mother put her teacup on the table, then stood up and walked into the inner room.

When she came out again, she was holding a set of divination tools.

Spiritual energy appeared in her hands, causing the divination tool to float in the air.

Lin Jingge's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it.

Gan Lan's mother's movements were fluid and graceful, and Lin Jingge didn't have to wait long.

Three ritual implements resembling copper coins were placed on the table.

“Your journey is fraught with danger,” she said. “I know you are eager for revenge, but that person is surrounded by people of high cultivation. If you endure for a while, you may still have a chance to avenge this grudge.”

As soon as Gan Lan's mother finished speaking, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Jingge was still deep in thought because of what the other person had said, and for a moment she did not notice the other person's strange behavior.

Therefore, when she smelled the blood and looked up, she was startled by the appearance of Gan Lan's mother.

She quickly got up and stepped forward, about to make a move, but saw the other party wave her hand.

"It's an old ailment, nothing serious," Gan Lan's mother said indifferently, as if she herself wasn't the one who was injured.

Those who gain the ability to glimpse the secrets of heaven always have to pay a price.

She had already exhausted her remaining lifespan in order to find a way out for her daughter.

“I can break the formation and let you out, and I can even solve the problems on your body. I only have one request.”

Gan Lan's mother stared intently at Lin Jingge: "I want you to make a vow from your heart that you will take care of my daughter after you get out!"

This means that Lin Jingge is expected to protect Gan Lan for the rest of her life.

This was the only way she could think of to ensure her daughter could live a good life outside.

She had been waiting for this day for so many years.

She saw a lucky aura in Lin Jinge. Even if there were setbacks, she believed that Lin Jinge would be able to overcome them. With such a person protecting her, her daughter might not amount to much, but she would at least be able to live a good life.

Lin Jingge is already struggling to take care of herself, and with Gan Lan's mother in this state, it's practically like she's taking on another burden.

Whether it was due to the formation or something else, Lin Jingge eventually agreed and made a vow in front of Gan Lan's mother.

With the vow fulfilled, Ganlan's mother could see that Ganlan's fate had changed since she suddenly entered the bamboo house.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Lin Jingge was taken to Gan Lan's room, while Gan Lan's mother talked with Gan Lan all night.

The next day, before dawn, someone knocked loudly on the bamboo door.

Lin Jingge had been cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy all along and hadn't slept at all, so as soon as the sound came, she immediately went forward and opened the door.

Then I saw Gan Lan standing at the door with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Jingge asked tentatively, but she already had a thought in mind.

"Ah Jin, my mother is missing!" Gan Lan cried as she rushed into Lin Jingge's arms.

Lin Jingge sighed inwardly.

Although the person in front of her was the same age, in Lin Jingge's eyes, Gan Lan was like a child, a blank sheet of paper, untouched by any ink.

This sight makes one want to feel sorry for her.

Clearly, she had only known Gan Lan for less than two days.

She wasn't someone who easily trusted others, but Gan Lan was an exception.

"Don't cry." Lin Jingge gently patted Gan Lan's back, awkwardly comforting her.

Even though her own life is a mess, she can't help but feel sorry for others.

"Tell me the details, and I'll go with you to find your mother."

"As soon as I woke up, my mother was gone. I searched everywhere." Gan Lan stepped out of Lin Jingge's arms, tears still clinging to her eyelashes. She spoke haltingly and even hiccuped.

"Did your mother say anything to you last night?"

"Mother told me to leave here with you, because the formation here is gone..." Gan Lan recalled what happened last night and told Lin Jingge everything.

After listening, Lin Jingge frowned deeply.

Afterwards, she went to check on Gan Lan's mother's room again.

The door wasn't forced open from the outside, and the room's furnishings were exactly the same as yesterday. It can be concluded that the other party left voluntarily.

He then searched the room again and finally found a letter under the pillow on the bamboo bed.

"This is my mother's handwriting!" Upon seeing the letter, Gan Lan immediately rushed forward and snatched it from Lin Jin's hand.

The letter contained the same information as what I had told Ganlan yesterday.

They all told Gan Lan not to look for her, and that she should listen to Lin Jingge from now on and obediently follow Lin Jingge.

After reading the letter, Gan Lan burst into tears again.

"Ah Jin, what should I do? My mother doesn't want me anymore!" Gan Lan tightly clutched the letter in her hand, then pressed it to her chest. Her bright, clear eyes stared intently at Lin Jingge.

Now, she only has Lin Jingge to rely on.

"Your mother will definitely be alright!" Lin Jingge's words of comfort sounded utterly inadequate.

Thinking of the trace of blood at the corner of Gan Lan's mother's mouth yesterday, and the spiritual power that was almost overflowing from the other party.

Although she said that, she was already certain in her heart that something had happened to Gan Lan's mother.

If something hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have left in such a hurry. He probably didn't want Gan Lan to worry about him too much, so he made it seem like he was leaving.

Gan Lan clutched the letter her mother had left her tightly, biting her lower lip and crying for a long time.

Lin Jingge stayed silently by Gan Lan's side the whole time, and only spoke after Gan Lan had recovered: "Take a look around and see if there's anything we need to bring. Let's set off today."

Gan Lan was somewhat reluctant. She wanted to wait here for her mother to return, but thinking of what her mother had said to her last night, she felt a little sad. In the end, she packed some things and left with Lin Jingge.

Lin Jingge watched as Gan Lan used the bracelet she was wearing to store the entire bamboo house in front of her into her spatial storage.

This surprised her greatly.

This bracelet has enough space to fit such a large bamboo house; you could say that you won't find a storage device with such a large capacity anywhere else in Canglan.
