"Say that again!" Chief Mu demanded, not daring to believe her ears just now.
Mu Hanyan turned to look at her and calmly repeated, "I brought him here because Shiva instructed me to."
"N-No way..." Chief Mu's jaw dropped. "When did that happen? When did Shiva contact you?"
"It happened right after your clash with him ended," she replied. "Bring me the man with the golden aura -that was Shiva's exact instruction, word for word."
"Seriously..." Chief Mu sighed out loud. "Why didn't you tell me something this important beforehand?" "What's the point? If Shiva wanted you to know, they would've contacted you."
"Wait... then what about my daughter? Did Shiva also ask for her?"
Mu Hanyan nodded.
"Did Shiva tell you why they wanted to see them?"
"No."
Chief Mu clenched her fists and muttered, "I don't care what happens to that man, but if anything happens to my little girl..."
"Relax a bit. I doubt Shiva would harm them, especially Xuelian."
"I know Shiva's never harmed us before, but I cannot help but have a bad feeling about this event. It's too sudden."
"Shiva is an existence beyond our comprehension. There's no point trying to understand them or predict their goals."
Mu Hanyan turned to stare at the crystal tree with a profound gaze. "The last time Shiva contacted us, it was to instruct me to leave White Hell and find a partner... And now, after millions of years, just as I reunite with Tian Yingzhe, they reach out again. This... this cannot be a coincidence..." she thought inwardly. 'Oh, Tian Yingzhe... what in heaven's name are you, truly?'
Meanwhile, after many minutes of descending, Yuan and Mu Xuelian still haven't reached the end.
"What's your relationship with my grandmother?" Mu Xuelian suddenly started a conversation.
"We used to travel together, I guess."
"You guess? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, I don't have all of my memories, and it was your grandmother who said that we used to travel together."
"Amnesia, huh? If you've traveled with my grandmother, you must be quite old."
