"Other dowry items?"
"That's right! For example, cultivation techniques, secrets of magical powers, etc."
"No!"
"Are you so sure? This matter is very important. You must think carefully before answering."
Bei Ming Feihong pondered for a moment and said, "There must have been quite a few dowry items at the time, but so much time has passed that they no longer exist. Now only one ancient painting remains. It was only because my great-grandmother asked that it be carefully preserved that it was passed down."
Lin Tiandao: "Grandma?"
Bei Ming Fei Hong said, "It's the one from the Tian Xiang Sect who married into the Bei Ming family."
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Did she pass down any secrets?"
Bei Ming Fei Hong shook his head: "No."
Lin Tian glanced at Xian Yutong with an unfriendly look.
Xian Yutong suddenly became anxious: "Really? Think about it carefully."
Bei Ming Fei Hong said, "Really not. It's a pity that my great-grandmother is ill, otherwise you could ask her directly..."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up: "Is she still alive?"
Bei Ming Fei Hong said, "Of course. It's just that she doesn't like to show up in public. She lives in seclusion in the family backyard all year round and basically doesn't see outsiders."
Lin Tian frowned slightly. Was he refusing to see the guest? But since he was already here, he couldn't just leave like that.
"I want to see her."
"This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient..."
"What if I absolutely must?"
"Your Excellency, I'm not saying no to you, I just have something to hide... All right! Follow me."
Under the pressure of Lin Tian's eyes, Bei Ming Feihong finally gave in. He took a few people and walked towards the family's backyard.
Xian Yutong whispered, "The one we're going to meet is called Murong Ruolan. Back then, my father and I were known as the twin beauties of the Tianxiang Sect, and we were both very famous. But then, for some unknown reason, she married into a noble family in the Beiming Sect and disappeared from the public eye."
Lin Tiandao: "The twin prides of the Tianxiang Sect? He and your father are not having an affair, are they?"
Xian Yutong's face darkened: "Don't joke!"
Lin Tiandao said, "This is no joke. Think about it, a man and a woman, both beautiful, and fellow disciples. The saying 'love grows over time' is exactly what this situation is about. Perhaps it was your father who abandoned Murong Ruolan, and in her anger, she married into the Beiming family."
Xian Yutong's forehead veins were throbbing.
If someone else had said this, he would have slapped the other person to death, but after Lin Tian said this, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to show it.
Lin Tian suddenly became excited. He asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Is it possible that your mother is Murong Ruolan..."
"absurd!"
Xian Yutong suddenly shouted loudly, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Bei Ming Jue and Bei Ming Feihong were shocked. They were very curious about what Lin Tian said that made Xian Yutong lose his composure like this.
The two big men were just talking in low voices. The two men didn't dare to eavesdrop. They pretended nothing had happened and continued walking in front.
Lin Tiandao: "What's absurd about that? This possibility is not impossible."
Xian Yutong said unhappily, "Don't make wild guesses. My biological mother died of complications during childbirth."
Lin Tiandao said, "Your father told you this, didn't he? It's obviously a lie! With your father's strength, could he have caused your mother to die in childbirth?"
Xian Yutong suddenly stopped, his whole body as if struck by lightning, his facial expression stiff.
Lin Tian said with a bit of amusement: "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
"Impossible! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible..."
Xian Yutong murmured to himself, looking distraught.
Lin Tian pushed Xian Yutong and said, "Let's go!"
Xian Yutong was a little distracted and followed Lin Tian mechanically.
Lin Tianzhen was just joking, but Xian Yutong seemed to take it seriously.
Several people quickly came to the backyard and met Murong Ruolan.
The seven maids who were serving on both sides retreated tactfully when they saw the master of the house coming in person.
Murong Ruolan sat on a chair basking in the sun. She had white hair and a dull look in her eyes. She didn't react when someone approached her.
As soon as Xian Yutong saw Murong Ruolan, he couldn't take his eyes off her. The expression on his face kept changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lin Tian frowned and asked, "What's going on with her?"
Bei Ming Feihong said sadly, "She doesn't have much time left to live. Her body functions are deteriorating and she has Alzheimer's. This is why I don't want you to see her, because it's useless. She has been in a daze. She used to have moments of clarity, but now she hasn't been lucid for several years."
Lin Tian's heart sank. Was this a wasted trip?
If his life span was short, he could still think of a way, but Alzheimer's disease involved the soul level, there was really no way to deal with it. I'm afraid even soul searching would be useless.
"Murong Ruolan? Can you hear me?"
Lin Tian raised a finger and waved it in front of Murong Ruolan.
Murong Ruolan stared blankly ahead, with a trickle of saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't see Lin Tian at all, without even blinking.
Lin Tian called out a few more times, but Murong Ruolan still turned a deaf ear and a blind eye.
Helplessly, he could only slowly stretch out his right hand and hold down Murong Ruolan's head.
"Lord Emperor, what are you doing?"
Bei Ming Feihong's expression changed.
Lin Tian said: "I'll search the soul and see if I can find some useful information."
"no!"
Bei Ming Feihong was horrified.
Murong Ruolan is already in a state of dementia. If her soul is forcibly searched, she will most likely be destroyed.
How could he agree!
"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine."
After Lin Tian mastered the law of devouring, his soul became extremely powerful, and searching the soul became extremely easy for him. He was confident that he could only search the soul without harming her life, and would not cause irreversible damage to Murong Ruolan's soul.
