The drizzle has not stopped.

At the foot of the mountain, in the midst of a dense forest, a luxurious carriage stopped quietly.

A woman in a white robe, her eyes looking into the distance, were waiting silently.

*

"Huh."

A graceful figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the clothed woman.

"Miss."

"How do you get drenched like this?"

Seeing Wanwan's sudden return, Cherry asked her with a little worry.

"It's just a little rain, it doesn't matter."

"Let's go back to the city first."

Wanwan waved her hand lightly and said indifferently.

"Yes, miss."

Seeing Wanwan open the door and board the carriage, Cherry didn't continue to ask her anything.

The carriage creaked and slowly returned in the direction of Qingzhou City.

Wanwan, who was sitting in the car, frowned slightly, thinking back to the group of people she had just seen in front of the mausoleum.

"My identity should not be revealed for the time being."

"It's not clear whether they're friend or foe."

"Or don't take the initiative to investigate, in case it's an enemy?"

"Therefore, it startles the snake and alarms the people behind the scenes."

"The gains outweigh the losses."

In her hand, a box made of sandalwood suddenly appeared.

Before Wanwan returned to Qingzhou, Lianxin personally handed it over to her, which was left by her father.

"Smack."

Open the top buckle, and the box opens instantly.

Wanwan reached out and took out the contents of the box. A paper map, a bronze key, and nothing else.

Wanwan carefully looked at the map in her hand, looking for the memories in her mind, and she could accurately distinguish the place where the key was used on the map.

Dingguo Mansion, she is very familiar with it.

*

"Cherry."

"You go back to Fengqi Pavilion first."

"I have more important things to do."

The carriage returned to the city, and was about to go to Fengqi Pavilion, when Wanwan, who was sitting in the car, suddenly spoke to her.

"Miss, don't you need me to accompany you?"

Outside the carriage, Cherry asked her.

"No, look for a place where there are few people and pull over."

Wanwan spoke lightly and instructed her.

"Yes, miss."

Cherry obeyed, driving the carriage towards the side of the alley.

*

Lotus East Lane, across the lake from the Daqi Palace. This somewhat tortuous alley is full of noble people in Qingzhou City.

Among them, the most exquisite is the Dingguo Mansion located here.

In front is a palatial mansion, and in the back is a deep and beautiful classical garden. It covers an area of 100 zhang in length and width. The architecture of the mansion is solemn and solemn, and the atmosphere is magnificent. The garden structure is surrounded by water, and the pavilion is curved.

It's just that nowadays......

Before the Dingguo Mansion, although the plaque was still hanging, the vermilion lacquer on the gate was no longer there. Even the two town house stone lions on both sides of the door were blind and had broken their feet, and they looked scarred.

There was a desolation everywhere.

Here, things have long been different.

"Whoosh."

Wanwan jumped up lightly, easily climbed over the wall that was nearly a foot high, and instantly fell into the Dingguo Mansion.

Inside, it's even more miserable.

It was devastated and ruined.

A fire swept in, causing the Dingguo Mansion to fade from its former prosperity in an instant.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of her, Wanwan wept with grief.

Here, her father used to take her fishing.

Here, my mother once planted plum blossoms here.

Over here......

Whenever she walked somewhere in it, she could always recall in her mind the bits and pieces that had happened here.

Father's study used to be a forbidden place for everyone.

No one is allowed to enter without his permission.

Only now, only a few beams remain that have not burned through.

This is exactly where the map shows.

The above-ground buildings have apparently burned down, so ......

Wanwan drew her sword and tapped it towards the ground, listening carefully for the differences.

"Knock knock."

This is it......

The hollow sound rang to her ears, and there was a noticeable slight difference here.

Pry open the tiles under her feet, and an underground passage appears before her eyes.

I never knew that there would be such a hidden place in my father's study.

Take out the fire fold you carry with you, light the candle placed at the entrance, and walk slowly down with it in your hand, and you will see a very heavy iron door.

Insert the bronze key in her hand into the keyhole and twist it slightly to the right.

"Squeak."

With a slight push, the iron door opened inward little by little.

Looking around by the light of the fire, I found that the space of this dark room was not very large, only a few zhang long and wide.

There was nothing but a table.

There was a silver chest on top of the table, and it was unknown what it was made of. There was also a letter on top of the box, which had fallen in a layer of dust.

Wanwan walked forward quickly, picked up the letter on the top of the box, her hand shook slightly, and the dust fell.

With a bit of trepidation, he pulled out the stationery in the envelope.

On the letterhead, which was already slightly yellowed, was densely written.

“My dear Wan Wan！”

Just saw such a familiar and unfamiliar character, and the tears in the corners of Wanwan's eyes slipped down instantly.

In the whole world, such characters are probably only written by fathers. As far back as she can remember, her father told her that the script was called English, the language of a country in the far west of the country. Her father taught her since she was a child, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today. This letter has fallen into anyone's hands, and no one knows what is written on it.

Her father only taught her and Su Li.

"I am very happy for my father that our Wanwan has finally grown up."

"Forgive me for not being able to be by your side with your mother, and not being able to see our daughter grow up happily."

"It all came too suddenly, and before the Father had made any preparations, the calamity had already come."

"I have no choice but to entrust you to the hands of Lianxin."

"Only then will you be able to escape."

Tears hung down Wanwan's cheeks, and the letter paper trembled slightly in her hand.

She knew in her heart that her father didn't want this.

But why?

Holding back the grief in her heart, Wanwan continued to read carefully.

"You must have wondered why a father is so different from ordinary people."

"I'm sure you'll have a guess too."

"Not bad."

"Fathers are not the people here."

"It's not a person from Great Qi, and it's also not a person from Southern Chu, Western Jin, or Northern Yan."

"Being a father comes from another world."

"To put it in an easy-to-understand way, it can be said to come from the future."

Reading the content of the letter, Wanwan was also taken aback. Although there are all kinds of speculations in my heart that my father may be from a more distant country, I have never thought so much about coming from the future.

Is that incredible?

"For the place where my father once lived."

"There are carts that can run forward on their own without being pulled by horses."

"There's a mechanism like an eagle in the sky that can make people soar through the air."

"And ......"

"In short, there's a lot of incredible stuff out there."

Everything said in the letter was unheard of before.

What would such a world look like?

There is still a bit of yearning in her heart.

"After my father came here, for a long time, I couldn't let go of the sense of superiority in my heart."

"In the eyes of my father, it seems that the four kingdoms of the world are extremely powerful."

"Talking and laughing, the canopy is gone."

"It's not for my father's sake, it's not that difficult to do."

Wanwan frowned slightly, her father said this, she didn't doubt it in her heart. Since she was a child, she has known that her father's talent is the best in the world.

So who else in the world would make his father unable to protect himself?

"Until, the mother who met you began to ......"

"Little by little, get used to it here, and slowly integrate into it."

"The most important thing is your birth."

"Only then does my father feel that he has taken root."

The content of the letter is filled with a strong sense of happiness.

It can be seen how much the father loves his mother and how much he loves her daughter.

"I originally thought that our family of three could live so happily."

"Until that day, the Father discovered a shocking secret......"

The handwriting in the letter stopped abruptly, and Wanwan hurriedly turned over the letter paper in her hand, but there was still no half of the handwriting on the back. Looking at the envelope again, there was no other paper.

“......”

Why didn't the father finish his words?

What is that earth-shattering secret?

Who would have killed my father?

Are fathers and mothers alive or dead?

I can't get any answers to all the questions in my heart.

The letter paper in her hand was folded into the envelope, and the silver box on the table was lifted, and her eyes once again took one last look at the dark room.

After that, he left the place without looking back.

Wanwan believes......

There will always be a time when the mystery will be revealed.
