"Back then, you said the owner of the Jade Pendant would save me from the abyss. Were you just trying to trick me?" Su Shuochi ventured.
"That's right, I was tricking you. But it wasn't a complete lie. My brother-in-law is very famous in the Imperial City. He's mentored people all over, and he has a wide network. Surely one of them could have helped you, right?"
The old man spoke slowly, his tone filled with pride.
After hearing him out, Su Shuochi finally understood that the man was just an ordinary old fellow.
He had just wanted to use him, by giving him the Jade Pendant, to find his family. Unfortunately, his sister had passed away many years ago.
He didn't feel the slightest bit of anger at being deceived. After all, this beautiful misunderstanding was precisely what had led to his success.
By a strange twist of fate, the Jade Pendant had been his wife's dimensional space from a past life. It truly was destiny.
