Not wanting her grandfather to misunderstand, she quickly raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Grandfather, Iâm back."
Mr. Gu had already heard the footsteps and was wondering why his granddaughter was outside the door for so long without knocking.
Xinyan handed over the sour and spicy noodles and white cake in her hand: "Grandfather, try this again, the white cake paired with sour and spicy noodles has a unique flavor."
After putting down the bamboo tube: "Grandfather, you eat first, Iâm going to my room to wash my face and then I have something important to discuss with you."
Mr. Gu looked up at Xinyan, didnât ask further, and nodded: "Alright, go ahead."
As Xinyan turned around, she couldnât help but feel as if her grandfather had discovered something.
Returning to her room, she drew the curtains, locked the door, and directly entered the space.
Previously, the source of the stream was just a cliff face, but now a waterfall had appeared, and the white mist opposite the small stream had retreated, revealing a vast green pasture similar in size to the field on the streamâs side.
Moreover, the white mist around the mountain slope on the side of the house had completely disappeared, revealing a forest behind it; this was the complete space.
Having made up her mind, she didnât hesitate further. After washing her face in the space, she left and headed to her grandfatherâs room.
Seeing that her grandfather had already finished dinner and tidied up, she closed the door and lowered her voice: "Grandfather, thereâs something very important I want to confess to you."
Mr. Gu wasnât surprised, he simply said softly: "If it doesnât concern the life and death of the Gu Family, you donât have to say it, everything is fate."
As expected, her grandfather had noticed.
Xinyan didnât hesitate, leaning close to Mr. Guâs ear and told him the whole story about the space.
Mr. Gu did notice Xinyanâs unusual behavior but never expected something so mystical, looking incredulous.
Xinyan wanted to take her grandfather into the space, opened the door to check for safety, and after locking the door and pulling the curtains, said, "Grandfather, let me take you in, youâll understand once you see it."
She reached for her grandfatherâs arm and with her command, "Go in."
An unbelievable scene unfolded; she entered, but Mr. Gu remained outside, both were stunned.
Xinyan quickly exited the space: "Why doesnât it work?"
Even though Mr. Gu didnât enter the place his granddaughter mentioned, he understood it was real, as a living person had disappeared without a trace in front of him, he couldnât help but believe.
Xinyan was unwilling to give up, trying repeatedly but ending up unsuccessful, which is when she resigned.
Mr. Gu looked at her angry expression and laughed: "Alright, some things are dictated by fate, since it recognizes you as its owner, thatâs your fate, donât mention it to anyone else, not even your parents or grandmother, got it?"
Seeing Xinyanâs concern, Mr. Gu said: "Itâs not a matter of trust with them, itâs just that family shouldnât be tested, as your parents are around Chaojun, and in the future, we may find your second uncle, let this secret end here."
Seeing Xinyan still silent: "As for Jinxuan, make your own decision, after all, heâs your close one."
Xinyan really wanted to tell her grandfather that he already knew, but couldnât get the words out, since she took him in under those circumstances.
This left her puzzled as to why He Jinxuan could enter the space but the Gu Family couldnât?
Several thoughts flashed by quickly, but she couldnât grasp anything.
Mr. Gu saw her lack of reaction and assumed she was still hesitating: "Alright, letâs settle this, tomorrow Iâll accompany you again, and collect everything, let it be our secret."
Xinyan looked up at Mr. Gu: "Grandfather, since we canât talk about the space, you donât need to leave those things for me, take them back to the Capital and keep them yourself."
Mr. Gu looked sorrowful: "At my age, Iâve long seen through everything, if not for these assets, if not for othersâ greed, the Gu Family wouldnât have been targeted, wouldnât have suffered so much."
He sighed lightly, raising his eyes toward Xinyan: "What place could be safer than your Qiankun Land, grandfather trusts you."
