Yun Yang coughed and said with a bitter smile, "Sister Lan, what you're asking about … doesn't really have much to do with this young brother. At most, it can only be said to be a coincidence … I really feel that it has nothing to do with me … That's why I don't know where to start when you ask. Please forgive me. Allow me to think about it carefully and choose my words. That way, I'll be able to speak more fluently and you'll be able to listen to me …"
Yue Rulan obviously did not believe him. She snorted coldly and glared at him.
Ji Lingxi was anxious but she spoke softly, "Think about it slowly and choose your words slowly. We're not in a hurry."
Even though she said that she was not in a hurry, her hands that were clenched so tightly that her knuckles were turning white had long betrayed her anxiousness.
Yun Yang pondered for a moment and finally sighed, deciding to tell them the truth.
After all, it would be pointless to keep it a secret like this. It was cruel to tell them the truth about Yadan's death, but it was even crueler to keep it a secret and watch them search for it all over the world.
In order to find Ji Lingfeng's whereabouts, the two women had already wasted several years. Were they really going to let them search without any hope?
Endure the torment?
Furthermore, their search was not simply wasting their time. The process might be accompanied by unknown risks. Their encounter with Lei Dongtian was already a clear proof. Since there was no more meaning in hiding it, it was better to reveal the truth. It was better to grieve for a while than to worry for the rest of their lives!
As for his identity …
Facing his sister-in-law and eighth brother's younger sister, he would be exposed … So be it!
"I understand. Follow me, both of you." Yun Yang stood up and led the way.
“？”
Ji Lingxi wanted to ask what it was that could not be said here and needed to be told elsewhere, but she was pulled back by Yue Rulan, who pulled Ji Lingxi along to follow Yun Yang without a word.
Yue Rulan was smart enough to guess from Yun Yang's actions that he was going to tell them a shocking secret, and this secret was related to Ji Lingfeng.
In that case, this really wasn't a good place to talk.
Although this was the Residence of Yun, it was not a place where they could talk about secrets without fear.
Because of this, she naturally followed him silently.
No matter what, Yun Yang would never hurt the two of them. A place that Yun Yang thought to be safe would at least be more secure than this place, especially when the current matter involved Ji Lingfeng. Even the slightest bit of risk would have to be avoided.
The three of them stepped into Yun Yang's courtyard and entered the study. Yun Yang pressed a button casually.
A thick and heavy stone wall silently opened up.
Yun Yang entered first.
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were taken aback. They had been in the Residence of Yun for quite some time now. They had been there when the Residence of Yun was being rebuilt, so they had witnessed it with their own eyes. However, they did not know that the Residence of Yun had such an ingenious setup. Just by looking at the deep passageway that stretched on without knowing where it ended, it was not difficult to imagine that it was an unusually large project!
There was also that stone wall that was at least thirty feet thick. When it was opened, it was completely silent. This was already extremely ingenious and amazing!
Both girls were intelligent people. Looking at the setup and recalling Yun Yang's performance earlier, they could not help feeling heavy in their hearts.
To talk about the whereabouts of their fiancé and eldest brother, they had to come to such a secluded and private place. This was already a clear indication of the severity of the problem!
Just as the three of them entered, the door to the secret chamber closed once again. It was still soundlessly sealed, as if the stone door did not exist at all.
At the same time that the door to the secret chamber closed, spots of light gradually lit up the passageway. It continued to stretch out for a very, very long time.
"Night Color Stone!"
Yue Rulan's eyes shone upon seeing it.
Yue Rulan was from a noble family and was knowledgeable. How could she not recognize the object of light?
The Night Color Stone was an existence even rarer than the Luminous Pearl. The Night Color Stone was a unique crystal that would only glow in a pitch-black environment. As long as there was a little bit of light in the surroundings, the Night Color Stone would be no different than an ordinary stone. It would not show the slightest bit of abnormality. It was extremely rare.
Now, however, there was a Night Color Stone every thirty feet in front of them. The distance between each Night Color Stone was thirty feet, probably because the Night Color Stones could sense each other from a distance of fifteen feet.
This setup was ingenious, and it was a work of art that surpassed the heavens.
Yun Yang's purple silhouette was the first to move forward amidst the bright and silent atmosphere. As he moved forward, the two girls' moods grew heavier.
What kind of earth-shattering secret could it be that they needed to come to such a place?
They believed that even the royal family's secret treasure would not require such great effort …
After a few turns, a hall appeared in front of them. Passing through the hall, Yun Yang pressed on another wall and another secret door appeared. It was just a glance, but he could already see a considerable number of treasures.
The treasures here should be called treasures because any one of them was of a level that ordinary people might not even see or hear of in their entire lives.
More than ninety-nine percent of those who came here would think that this was the end. Of course, the place where so many rare treasures of heaven and earth were stored should be the end.
Even the two ladies had the same thought. They thought that Yun Yang should explain the whole story about Ye Lingfeng. It was already such a secretive place, was it not?
Unexpectedly, Yun Yang did not stop. He turned and pressed on the left side where he had just entered. Another secret room's door slowly opened.
This was where the blind spot of human thought lay!
Even if this place was found by the intruders, they would still be unwilling to give up, so they could only search the other three walls to find the mechanism. They would never have imagined that there was another secret door hidden on the other side of the wall that they had entered from!
The essence of this setup was to make it unthinkable, unthinkable no matter what!
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi looked at each other, seeing the genuine awe in each other's eyes.
Both girls were incredibly impressed by Yun Yang's meticulousness and the ingenious setup.
It was truly amazing and breathed in amazement!
The newly appeared secret room was pitch-black. There were no luminous pearls or illumination devices like the Night Stone, forming a stark contrast to the previous environment.
Yun Yang stood at the door and did not step in immediately. Like a statue, he seemed to be hesitating about something.
After a while, Ji Lingxi suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Yun Yang's back was right in front of her, tall and straight as usual, but Ji Lingxi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of sorrow and loneliness emanating from his back.
A long sigh could be heard as Yun Yang finally stepped into the pitch-black secret chamber. Immediately, he was engulfed in darkness.
It was as if Yun Yang had turned into a specter at this moment, becoming one with the darkness.
Before the fear in Ji Lingxi's heart could rise, the secret room was lit up abruptly, dispelling the boundless darkness.
"Come in."
Yun Yang stood quietly in the middle of the secret room.
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan walked in, following the sound almost unconsciously. Just like before, the secret room's door behind them closed quietly.
This change caused this place to instantly become a completely sealed independent space!
The two girls who were initially at a loss felt a strange feeling, as if from this moment onwards, this secret room was completely isolated from the rest of the world.
Almost at the same time, an unusually oppressive and solemn atmosphere enveloped both of them.
The two women looked around and saw a huge painting hanging on the wall opposite the secret room!
Rather than saying that there was a painting on the wall, it would be more accurate to say that the entire wall was a painting.
Above, there was darkness and chaos. Below, there were mountains, rivers, and the earth. It was as if all the mountains and rivers were within it.
In the middle of the painting, there were eight people!
Eight masked men dressed in black.
One of them, even though his face was covered with a black cloth and his body was covered in black, still exuded an air of elegance. Just by standing with his arms behind his back, he exuded an air of grandeur. The mountains and rivers beneath his feet trembled, earth dragons churned, mountains crumbled, and the earth cracked. Despite his imposing presence, his gaze was extremely indifferent, unmoving. The second person stood sideways with his arm extended. The trees in the forest before him were twisted and their roots tumbled like a group of demons as they suddenly stretched out their arms.
The third person stood quietly on the left of the first person, waves of whiteness clouding the sky beneath his feet.
The fourth person stretched out his arms as countless sabers and swords rushed towards his hands. The center of his palms was a metallic aura, shining brightly and captivating.
The fifth person's body was boiling, and there was a fire dragon roaring under his body. Looking at it, one could not help but feel a burning sensation. The sixth person's hand was surrounded by thousands of lightning bolts. It was as if the heavenly thunder and earth lightning were gathering densely here!
The seventh person had one hand behind his back while his other hand drew a line in the air. The other end was filled with crimson, a trail of blood stretching for miles.
The last person, the eighth person, was dressed in black as well. His entire being soared in the clouds, only his front and back were filled with billowing winds and billowing clouds. Although his face could not be seen clearly, one of the eyes on the side of his head was bright, gleaming with delight and carefreeness. His silhouette was indescribably dashing and insufferably arrogant.
It was as if he was laughing maniacally in front of the vast sky and earth.
Eight men in black!
Ji Lingxi watched the scene in front of her in shock, feeling as if her soul was being pulled into the painting in an instant. She could not help but blurt out, "Nine Supremes?"
Yue Rulan's eyes were fixed on the last person, the graceful silhouette that soared under the clouds. He was insufferably arrogant, yet there was an indescribable calmness to him. She could not hold back her tears as she murmured, "Ling Feng!"
The bright eyes that looked over seemed to be staring at her from the other side, their gaze filled with kindness.
They were calling out softly, "Lan Lan …"
Yue Rulan's nose felt a lump in her throat. She covered her mouth abruptly, trying her best not to cry out loud. However, her bright eyes stared unblinkingly at the pair of bright eyes in the painting through her tears.
She broke down at once.
That was … Ji Lingfeng!
Lingfeng!
I've found you!
I've finally found you!
