Grandma Jian let out a long sigh: "You shouldn't continue to search for answers to this secret. The reason why the Xie family completely disappeared was because of this piece of vellum."

"Then I need to know the secret to this piece of vellum even more," the man replied firmly. "It's related to the death of my parents and relatives! Even if I die, I still want to find out where they all went."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Jian sighed again: "As you're from the Xie family, I will try to help you with whatever you want to achieve. However, in my opinion, you shouldn't continue attempting to search for answers. At the very least, don't drag my granddaughter into this mess. She's the most important person to me."

As Grandma Jian had been alive for over seventy years, she became indifferent to a lot of things in the world.

"If you're not okay with it, I won't involve Miss Jian. I just want her to look at this piece of vellum for me. A Jie and I can do the rest."

A Jie was the genius boy with autism that accompanied him.

Even though he was very smart, he was not yet on the same level as Jian Yiling.

Grandma Jian glanced at her granddaughter to seek her opinion.

Jian Yiling quietly took the piece of vellum from the man and looked at it.

With just one glance, Jian Yiling knew the answer to the secret on the piece of vellum.

However, this was not because she was smart. Rather, it was because she had seen what was written on the vellum in the past.

It was something that didn't belong to this world. It belonged to the world she was in before!

As Jian Yiling was not someone who could easily hide her thoughts, all her thoughts were written on her face.

This expression caused both Grandma Jian and Zhai Yunsheng to frown.

It was obvious that Jian Yiling knew something.

The man hurriedly asked: "Miss Jian, do you know something?"

Jian Yiling admitted: "I probably do…"

Upon hearing this answer, an expression of surprise appeared on the man's face. The teenager with a super high IQ beside him also stared at Jian Yiling.

"Then could you tell me the location of this hidden secret?" the man continued to ask.

This was the answer he had been chasing for his whole life.

Jian Yiling shook her head and replied: "You can't go there."

"Miss Jian, I'm begging you to tell me. If you tell me the place, I will figure out how to get there by myself. I've been looking for this answer all my life. One of my eyes became blind because of this. Even if I die, I will die on the way there."

For him, this was no longer just a treasure. Rather, it was an obsession that had been rooted in his heart for many years.

"Your family may not have passed away in the first place," Jian Yiling said to him.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't have to blame yourself for anything," Jian Yiling answered. She was not very good at comforting people.

Grandma Jian said to the man with a stern expression on her face: "You should stop asking. So many years have passed since then. It's time for you to let go. One shouldn't keep clinging to the past. Besides, even if you cling to the past, that's your obsession. You should not impose on Yiling. I have a life to live! I don't have time for you!"

On her watch, no one was going to take Yiling to a dangerous place!

In fact, even if her son wanted to bring Yiling somewhere dangerous, she wouldn't be okay with it!
