Xu Tian stared wide-eyed at the contents of the text message.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wan'er quickly snatched his phone. The text message read as follows.

'I've arrived in Korea. See you at the Haoyun Hotel.'

It was sent by Xu Tian's mother. He was so shocked because he never expected Jiang Wanyi to come in person.

"Where is Haoyun Hotel?" Xu Tian pressed.

Lin Wan'er called the housekeeper and asked him to drive Xu Tian there.

Although I don't know Jiang Wanyi's purpose in coming here, she must be here to help Xu Tian.

For them, this is a good thing.

After Xu Tian left, Lin Wan'er took out her contacts and hesitated for a long time before dialing Chu Lan's number.

……

Haoyun Hotel.

After getting off the bus, Xu called his mother directly to find out the exact location before entering the hotel.

Xu Tian knocked on the door. Under the soft light, his mother, Jiang Wanyi, was sitting with a smile. Time had left gentle marks on her face, but it did not diminish her elegance and composure in the slightest.

Their eyes met, and Xu Tian's eyes reddened slightly. He quickly stepped forward and hugged his mother tightly, as if he wanted to make up for all the time he had missed over the years.

This meeting was several years in the past.

Xu Tian still remembers how, for Zhang Qian's sake, he ignored Jiang Wanyi's objections, said all sorts of hurtful things, and then resolutely slammed the door and followed Zhang Qian to Jiangcheng.

Looking back now, things have changed, and his choice back then was a mistake...

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Xu Tian's voice was choked with emotion.

Jiang Wanyi glared at him, "A real man doesn't talk about what he wants or doesn't want."

Even so, Xu Tian still felt a lump in his throat.

How could Jiang Wanyi not miss her son? She just suppressed her sadness, not wanting to burden Xu Tian.

"Where's my dad? Didn't he come with you?"

Jiang Wanyi's expression gradually became serious. She had come here not to solve the problem, but to take Xu Tian away.

Xu Tian was very surprised when he heard the news.

"Take me away? Where to take me?"

Xu Tian couldn't understand why Jiang Wanyi would do this.

Do you remember the black card I gave you?

Xu Tian frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that he seemed to have used that card once when he accompanied Chu Lan to a charity gala, and then he seemed to have used it again later.

But what does taking him away have to do with that black card?

Jiang Wanyi sighed, "It's all fate. Haven't you noticed the changes that happened to you after you activated that card?"

"What changes?" Xu Tian was completely confused.

"For example, unusual physical symptoms..."

Jiang Wanyi looked at him with a worried expression.

Xu Tian suddenly realized that his body wounds could heal automatically, and he could also hear other people's thoughts.

He attributed all of this to the excellent teaching of the Ouyang brothers, never expecting it to be due to that card.

"This card is quite amazing; it's a rare treasure!"

Xu Tian was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

As Jiang Wanyi's expression grew increasingly somber, Xu Tian also sensed something was amiss and had a vague, ominous premonition.

"Anyway, I don't have time to explain everything to you right now. Put down all your problems and come with me."

Jiang Wanyi took out an antique wooden box from her bag, gently opened it, and inside lay a jade pendant that shimmered with a strange light.

"This jade pendant can temporarily seal your abilities, but it won't last long."

"If you don't find a solution before they come knocking on your door, you will face unimaginable consequences."

"So you have to come with me. You can't stay here any longer. Staying here will only make your situation more dangerous."

Xu Tian had never seen Jiang Wanyi so flustered, and for a moment his mind was in turmoil.

He had no idea what had happened; it all happened too fast. Besides, he still had many things to deal with.

"I can't leave right now; the Lin family's problems haven't been resolved yet."

In addition, there's now a new problem with Jeon Soo-hyun.

"These are not difficult matters for the Xu family. You should wear this jade on your body first..."

As she spoke, Jiang Wanyi personally pinned the jade pendant to Xu Tian's waist.

"Mom, what happened? What's the deal with that black card?"

Xu Tian asked, unwilling to give up.

Jiang Wanyi's eyes deepened, as if she were lost in distant memories.

"Using the black card establishes a pact with an ancient and powerful force. Every time you swipe the card, you are borrowing energy from this force, and it is silently watching you, waiting for the best time to choose you."

Xu Tian recalled the moments when he used the black card. Each time he swiped the card, it was as if an invisible light surged into his body, bringing unprecedented power and changes.

The images flashed before his eyes like a movie, making him feel dizzy.

"Where did you get this black card from, and why did you give it to me?"

Xu Tian was even more puzzled. He had experienced a lot with the Ouyang brothers and knew that there was more than just human civilization in this world.

But when Jiang Wanyi started instilling ideas about ghosts and gods in him, he still found it unbelievable.

Jiang Wanyi said regretfully, "Back then, when I kicked you out of the house, I was afraid you would be bullied outside, so I gave you this black card."

"This black card has been passed down through generations of the Xu family. Until your father's generation, no one had ever used it until it was given to you..."

The activation of the black card signifies a dramatic change in Xu Tian's life.

As Jiang Wanyi narrated, Xu Tian felt the strange power surging within him becoming increasingly turbulent, as if some ancient and immense being was awakening within him.

Suddenly everything went black before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a state of chaos.

All around were rolling clouds and twinkling stars, and an ancient and weathered aura wafted over.

He looked down and saw that his body was being wrapped in streams of light. These streams of light seemed to contain endless wisdom and power, which were slowly merging into his blood, making every inch of his skin and every bone make cracking sounds, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.

But when he came to his senses, he was still in the same room, and standing in front of him was still Jiang Wanyi.

"I...I just..."

Xu Tian didn't know how to explain that he felt like he had traveled to another time and space, and that his body felt like that of a different person.

Jiang Wanyi became increasingly serious.

"I will help you resolve this problem as soon as possible, but you must promise to come with me immediately after the problem is resolved."

Xu Tian was completely at a loss. Jiang Wanyi's words today contained a great deal of information, and he didn't know whether to agree or not.

"Don't worry, I will take Chu Lan and everyone you care about with me."

Jiang Wanyi assured Xu Tian.
