Chapter 553

"If you like it, that's fine. But it seems like the next place your fourth brother's inspection team is going is the Baiyu Snow Mountain area in Yunnan and Guizhou, right?"

Jin Xueyi suddenly realized this and cast questioning glances at the two sisters beside her.

"It seems so. I'll call and ask Lao Wu later." After thinking for a moment, Jin Fangyi looked at Jin Yu.

Jin Yu nodded and followed the others downstairs.

Upon learning that her three older sisters wanted her to be taken care of by her fourth sister, An Jiuxi quietly raised her hand to indicate that she did not want to trouble her.

But before she could even speak, she was overwhelmed by the intense gazes of the three men.

She had no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, Jin Yize arrived at the agreed location as instructed by the message sent by Grandpa Shi.

It was a small villa on the outskirts of the city.

Next to the villa is a newly developed scenic resort area. Since it's not peak tourist season, there aren't many people around, making it seem rather deserted.

"That girl didn't find out this time, did she?"

Grandpa Shi chuckled and teased Jin Yize, gesturing with his eyes to the seat in front of him.

Jin Yize sat down somewhat awkwardly. "Grandpa Shi, you said last time that you would contact me if you found a solution. Have you found one?"

"Young man, don't be in such a hurry. Take a look at this first."

Jin Yize glanced down at the yellowed books the other person had pushed towards him. Although puzzled, he picked them up and examined them carefully.

The contents were all esoteric Buddhist teachings, including methods for breathing in spiritual energy and awakening one's spiritual wisdom.

Jin Yize carefully flipped through the pages. "This book is very comprehensive in its knowledge, but the page on how to awaken intelligence is particularly blurry. Is it because it's old and weathered?"

Grandpa Shi smiled without saying a word and poured himself a cup of tea.

What he said left everyone stunned.

"It seems your grandfather has been keeping a lot of things from you. I'm afraid he never told you that the Jin family was once one of the four great families of the Xuanmen sect, right?"

"Oh!"

The chair overturned with a loud thud as the man got up in his excitement.

"What!" Jin Yize was shocked. Suddenly, he recalled the old man who had appeared in his mind.

He then suppressed his shock and silently helped himself up to sit down.

His gaze was fixed on Grandpa Shi. "Grandpa Shi, is it only if I possess spiritual energy that I can save Xixi?"

Grandpa Shi sighed, "Yes and no."

"But what I'm curious about is, how did your Jin family suddenly lose its spiritual energy?"

Jin Yize was also unaware of this.

They didn't even know anything about it.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "I don't know. My father never mentioned it to us, not at all."

While Jin Yize was saying these words, Old Master Shi kept glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

The look in his eyes didn't seem fake.

Only then did Old Master Shi turn his gaze away.

"If you don't know, you don't know. But I have indeed found a way to help Xixi. It's just that you're the only boy in your family's generation. I'm afraid if your grandfather finds out, he'll come after me and fight me to the death."

As he finished speaking, it seemed as if the old man was imagining a possible scenario.

His beard was trembling.

Jin Yize sensed something from his words.

"Is this matter very dangerous?"

He hesitated before speaking, and saw the old man look over and nod.

The rest of his words suddenly got stuck in Jin Yize's throat, and he didn't know how to say them.

After a long pause, he closed his eyes and said, "I'm willing to pay any price."

Old Master Shi suddenly chuckled, his eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze turned cold. "Then I say, it's a life for a life."
