Unable to suppress her curiosity, Ye Ying continued to press for an answer: "So, I'd like to ask... Teacher Ji? What exactly are you looking for?"
Ye Ying's gaze was fixed on Ji Wuchen, as if trying to see through his deep eyes to discover everything hidden within them.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
Ji Wuchen was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice deep and magnetic: "A shocking secret concerning the honor, disgrace, rise and fall, life and death of a family. It is said that this secret can only be found by searching for clues within this barrier."
After speaking, Ji Wuchen paused, a sly glint in his eyes.
In the end, Ji Wuchen deliberately left a cliffhanger, leaving half a sentence for people to ponder: "Besides seeking that lost inheritance, there is also... something else..."
Ye Ying exchanged a knowing glance with the little white fox beside her, secretly speculating in her heart, while also unable to resist asking curiously, "Oh? Is there anything else, Teacher Ji...?"
Ye Ying's words revealed a hint of doubt and anticipation.
Ji Wuchen's eyes were deep and mysterious as he stared intently at Ye Ying, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he remained silent. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "The most important reason I came here is to find someone."
Ye Ying looked on with suspicion, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment; Xiao Bai seemed to feel the same way, her eyes wide open.
Leaf shadow? ???
noob???
Three huge question marks seemed to appear on their foreheads.
"A person? Who is this person...?" Ye Ying murmured to herself.
It is worth it for Teacher Ji to travel thousands of miles, endure hardships, and even toss and turn in his sleep, to travel through time and space from the 1960s to find this place.
She fell into deep thought.
Little White, on the other hand, kept turning its bright eyes around, sometimes staring at Ye Ying, sometimes observing Ji Wuchen, as if it had already made some guess in its heart, but it remained silent, just like a well-behaved quail.
However, Ye Ying was unaware of all this!
Otherwise, judging from Xiaobai's expression at this moment, combined with Teacher Ji's recent series of strange behaviors, she might have noticed something amiss. Even if she couldn't uncover the whole truth, she would at least have doubts and feel that something was wrong!
Fortunately, Ye Ying was completely unaware of this!
Although Ye Ying didn't know who Teacher Ji was looking for, or whether he had already discovered anything, she decided not to ask any further questions.
Sometimes, knowing when to stop is the wise thing to do; excessive questioning can be annoying.
More importantly... Ye Ying had a strong intuition deep inside her warning her not to keep asking... As for the reason?
Well, I guess it's just a woman's unique sixth sense at work. And this sixth sense is unusually...strong!
Seeing that Ye Ying did not respond, Ji Wuchen stopped pursuing the question and casually asked, "Ye Ying... why did you come here...?"
Ye Ying hesitated for a second, then cleverly avoided a direct answer, saying, "Teacher Ji, I came in the same way as you, without any difference."
Deep down, Ye Ying couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her quick wit and intelligence.
