When the two embraced, Eleven disappeared from sight.
Now only Lin Zao and Tang Jian remained in the room.
Lin Zao gently pushed Tang Jian away, pulled him to sit on a chair next to her, and quietly told him about her past.
After listening, Tang Jian frowned and thought for a while.
"Since the sacred object is a crystal core, it means that my mother-in-law's clan should be related to the Celestial Master."
The Celestial Master actually left behind two water-type crystal cores, both of which were level eight. One was on the horn of the Heavenly Beetle Stone, and the other was with his mother-in-law's clan.
I wonder what the Celestial Master's intention was in separating them like this.
Or perhaps there are more crystal cores hidden elsewhere that they are unaware of?
"When we have the chance, we'll go to Yuezhou Prefecture to find my father and the others. We still have a lot of grudges against them that we haven't settled yet!"
Tang Jian's voice was cold when he spoke of this family, but what he didn't know was that Old Man Tang and his family had already begun their journey to Ganzhou.
Lin Zao nodded, wondering where Sister-in-law Tang had put the crystal core.
She wasn't afraid that Sister-in-law Tang would discover the true nature of the crystal core; what she feared most was that Sister-in-law Tang would carelessly throw it away like a stone.
In that case, it will be very difficult for her to get it back.
Lin Zao suddenly remembered Wang Xuzhi.
Do you remember what he meant when he said that he seemed to have gotten something?
Lin Zao quickly realized that what Wang Xuzhi had obtained was probably a fake sacred object, and the fake one was kept by Cheng Bo.
If Wang Xuzhen gets it, it means that Wang Xuzhi has found Cheng Bo, or worse, he has found Cheng Bo's body.
Lin Zao felt a pang of pain in her heart. Uncle Cheng had been by her side for so many years, always loyal and devoted, and in the end, he was shot by an arrow while trying to save her.
Although she knew that the chances of Cheng Bo surviving after being shot by an arrow and falling into the water were slim, she still felt a sliver of relief.
Perhaps there's even a sliver of a chance that Uncle Cheng was rescued?
It seems I need to find an opportunity to meet Wang Xuzhi.
In that case, they would have to come to celebrate her grandmother's birthday.
I wonder how much Wang Xuzhi found out?
He must have gone to Wuyi to find Ji Jiuli. I wonder what secrets that Twin Phoenix Mirror holds.
Is there any connection between Hime Kuri or the sacred object?
Lin Zao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any clues, so she told Tang Jian about her discovery.
Tang Jian had just thought of this as well; perhaps Wang Xuzhi could give them the answer.
***
Now that Lin Zao has remembered everything, there is no need for them to stay any longer.
After all, there was nothing Lin Zao would miss here. She had taken everything important with her when she left, but unfortunately, all that remained was the crystal core disguised as a stone.
The others were either washed away by the river or taken away by the people who found her.
The two composed themselves and walked outside together.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Eleven reappeared behind them as if by magic.
Upon opening the gate to the jujube orchard, there were indeed two servants guarding the outside.
When the servants saw Lin Zao and the others come out, they quickly bowed and said:
"Third son-in-law, third young lady, the eldest young master has already given instructions that once you come out, he will have me take you to the main hall for a meal."
Tang Jian nodded, signaling him to lead the way.
So the group headed toward the main hall.
When Lin Zao and his wife arrived, Lin Shaohua was sitting inside waiting.
However, neither Mr. Lin nor his wife were seen.
Lin Shaohua: "You've finally arrived. If you hadn't come soon, I would have had someone call you. It's just the right time for lunch."
Tang Jian: "Brother, you've gone to so much trouble. Where are Uncle and Aunt?"
When Tang Jian asked about his parents, Lin Shaohua's face stiffened.
