Yun Jian did not even know how she understood the scripture on the rock.
There was a sudden sense of familiarity when she saw it, deciphering it following her instinct after that.
When Si Yi turned to Yun Jian and saw the deep frown locked in place on her forehead, his long fingers flew to smooth it out alongside his gaze tender.
Mo Sen who stood aside looked at her in seriousness. “You can read the script?”
Yun Jian peeled her gaze from Si Yi and shook her head at the man. “It felt familiar, so I interpreted it based on an instinct when I read them.”
“Yulong Mainland,” Si Yi raised a brow before mumbling as he looked at the big glaring words on the rock.
“This world must be the Yulong Mainland that you just mentioned,” he said with affirmation.
The reason Si Yi was so certain that this place was not the world they had been living in was because the plants and water here were different from the world they came from.
This was Si Yi’s instinct. This was definitely not somewhere they had lived before!
It was just like Yun Jian’s instinct when she interpreted the script on the rock.
Si Yi even had a feeling that he had belonged here in this realm.
“Young master, the sandalwood box is well placed. We can take our leave,” Ya Dang who was sent out to place said item came back and told Si Yi.
“Mm.” Si Yi made a slight nod.
“Let’s go.” He picked up Yun Jian’s hand and went back the way they came from.
The sandalwood box belonged here. He was just returning the item to its rightful owner.
As for where this place was, it was not within their concern.
Yun Jian walked back being led by Si Yi, stealing glances at him occasionally and feeling a warmth gushing from within her.
What the group did not know… was that their ties with Yulong Mainland would not stop here. Of course, this was in hindsight.
…
Somewhere in Yulong Mainland, a huge crystal ball around ten meters tall stood in the center of a hall.
“Crack!” A sudden deafening noise accompanied the large slit that split the crystal sphere and in the next instant, the whole ball collapsed in an unbelievable fashion.
“She’s back! Wizard Lord Wu has reappeared! We, Wu Clan, have waited for thousands of years, Wizard Lord Wu, you’re finally back!”
A girl around sixteen to seventeen years old who was dressed entirely in black shouted fervently in the center of the hall.
The Wu Clan had waited for many millennia. It had been that long since the Wizard Lord Wu’s fall.
During her demise, she once vowed, “I shall return after a millennium!”
The shattering of the crystal ball was the sign of Wizard Lord Wu’s return!
…
Yun Jian and Si Yi returned to where Professor Su, Bo Zhan, and the others were easily from the cave’s mechanism.
When they saw them reemerging from the stone cave, everyone crowed over, all dying to know what secret lay behind the stone gate.
“Miss Yun, may I ask what discoveries you made inside?” Professor Su was the first to ask charging to her, even his form of address had changed from ‘little girl’ to ‘Miss Yun’.
“You guys can have a look yourselves.” Yun Jian wore a half smile with crescent eyes. Her answer disgruntling those around her. – They had asked her because they were not capable enough to challenge the stone cave!
Jiang Jiaoxue could not help her loud mouth since she had been putting up with Yun Jian for a long time.
“It’s because we can’t go through that cave that we’re asking you! Why are you like that? Will you die if you tell us what you saw inside? Will it take a piece of flesh away from you?”
“Young girl, you’re competent but it’s not right for you to be so arrogant.”
The reason Jiang Jiaoxue dared rebuke Yun Jian was because she caught a glimpse of Si Yi who stood nearby. Yun Jian was not the only one who entered the cave, what was she being so conceited about?
Being so certain that someone as gorgeous as Si Yi would tell her what happened inside, Jiang Jiaoxue turned to the young man. “Hey, handsome, I see that you’ve been inside the cave too. Can you tell us about it?”
As she spoke, she winked, throwing him a flirtatious gaze.
