Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

The Secret Unveiled and Shocking Words

The words of the Spirit Wind Knight were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart, making it hard for me to breathe.

Be careful of the people around you?

Is there some danger lurking around me?

I tightly grasped the cold jade pendant. Its sharp edges hurt my palm, but it was far less painful than the uneasiness in my heart.

Hao Yang noticed something was wrong with me, held my hand, and asked with concern: "Yao'er, what's wrong?" I forced a smile and shook my head: "It's okay, it's just that the sudden appearance of the Spirit Wind Knight surprised me." I didn't want to make him worry, at least not now.

The doubts in my heart grew wildly like vines, entangling me and making it difficult for me to breathe.

The mysterious wise man, the most mysterious existence in this family, what does he know?

Why do you want me to be careful about the people around me at this time?

My curiosity and fear intertwined together, making me feel extremely conflicted.

I must know the truth, but I am afraid that the truth will bring greater danger.

I found Elder Wei, hoping to get some clues from him.

"Elder, I want to know about the mysterious wise man." I said straight to the point.

Elder Wei put down the teacup in his hand, looked at me deeply, and said with a hint of warning: "Child, there are some things that are better not to know. The affairs of the mysterious wise man are not something you can touch." His words aroused my curiosity even more and made me feel more uneasy.

Is it true that, as Knight Lingfeng said, there is danger lurking around me?

The faces of Wei Qing, Wei Xue, and even Hao Shuang and Hao Feng flashed through my mind. Could it be them?

No, it's impossible, they have been...

"But..." I wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Elder Wei: "Yao'er, listen to me, don't investigate any further. Some secrets, once revealed, there is no turning back." His eyes were full of worry, which made me hesitate.

Do you really want to give up?

No, I can not!

I must know the truth, even if it costs me!

I took a deep breath and looked at Elder Wei with a firm gaze: "Elder, thank you, but I must go see him." I turned and left, leaving Elder Wei alone in the room, his sigh echoing in the air...

I walked quickly towards the forbidden area where the mysterious wise man lived, the jade pendant growing slightly warm in my hand...

The barrier at the entrance to the forbidden area was glowing with a faint blue light. I took a deep breath and put the jade pendant on it.

The barrier opened, and a path leading to the depths of darkness appeared before me.

I walked in without hesitation. I had to go down this road.

The damp and cold air hit my face, carrying with it an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

I walked down the winding stone steps, taking each step with extraordinary determination.

Finally, I came to an ancient stone door.

I gently pushed open the stone door and saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his back to me.

His hair and beard were all white, but he exuded a powerful aura.

"You're here." He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, but he didn't turn around.

I was stunned. He actually knew I would come?

"You... knew I was coming?" I asked tentatively.

The old man slowly turned around, his deep eyes seemed to see through everything.

"I've been waiting for you." He stood up, walked in front of me, and stared at me with burning eyes. "Wei Yao, you are the chosen one."

The chosen one?

My heart was shocked and an inexplicable sense of excitement surged in my heart.

He continued, "You will inherit an ancient and powerful power, a power that is enough to change everything." He stretched out his hand, and a rune shining with golden light appeared in his palm.

"This is the key to inheritance. It will lead you to this power."

I took the rune excitedly, and a warm current instantly spread throughout my body.

I felt as if a force was awakening within me, powerful and mysterious.

I finally understood that I came here not only to save myself, but also to shoulder greater responsibilities.

"This power..." I was about to ask more about this power, but the old man suddenly raised his hand to interrupt me.

"Now is not the time. You need to explore and understand step by step." He gave me a meaningful look. "Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Do not abuse this power, otherwise it will bring irreversible consequences."

I nodded solemnly, holding the rune tightly in my hand.

This power will be the key to changing my destiny.

I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the upcoming challenge.

Suddenly, the old man's expression changed, and he looked out the door...

"somebody is coming!"

The stone door burst open, and a group of men in black filed in, all masked and full of murderous intent.

My heart trembled, and I subconsciously tightened the golden rune in my hand.

This group of people...

Is it directed at me?

Coming here for this power?

"Protect Wei Yao!" The wise man shouted, his voice like a loud bell, making my eardrums buzz.

His hair and beard stood up, and the spiritual energy around him surged. In the blink of an eye, he was fighting with the man in black.

Although I don't have the same powerful strength as a wise man, I am not a fish that can be slaughtered at will.

I quickly mobilized the spiritual energy in my body, condensed an ice blade in my hand, and slashed it fiercely at the man in black who was closest to me.

The ice blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. The man in black dodged it, but his sleeve was cut, revealing a dark arm.

"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities!" The man in black sneered and stabbed my face with the sword in his hand.

I quickly dodged to the side, and the long sword passed by my cheek. The cold sword energy made me shiver.

I thought to myself that this was not good. The strength of these men in black should not be underestimated.

Just when I was in danger, a familiar figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of me.

"Yao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!" It was Hao Yang!

He protected me tightly, his eyes firm and affectionate, like an indestructible wall, isolating me from danger.

When I saw him, my heart instantly calmed down and a warm feeling surged through my body.

"Hao Yang!" I couldn't help but shout out, my heart filled with gratitude and emotion.

He smiled at me, his eyes full of tenderness and encouragement.

With his joining, the situation of the battle was reversed instantly.

Hao Yang was agile and his moves were fierce. He cooperated with me very well and forced the men in black to retreat step by step.

The wise man was even more unstoppable. His powerful spells poured out like a storm. The men in black could not resist and fell to the ground one after another.

Finally, the remaining men in black, seeing that the situation was not good, fled in panic, leaving behind a sentence “We will be back!”

I looked at the direction they disappeared, but my heart didn't feel relieved at all, instead it felt heavier.

I know this is just the beginning and greater challenges are yet to come.

I looked at the golden rune in my hand. It emitted a warm light, as if guiding me in the direction I should go.

"Yao'er," the wise man walked up to me, his eyes full of expectation, "Next, what you need to do is..." He paused, looking deep into the distance, "find the key to open the door to inheritance."
