"Wei Wei," Chief Ye let out a long sigh. "Our meeting with those people must be fate. Since it was that case, I think I will try and do what I can to help them."

The prince stared at his grandmother as he waited for her to continue. When she did not say anything else, Prince Lu Wei nodded. "Whatever you decided to do, I will be with you."

Chief Ye looked at her grandson and chuckled. "Since you're staying by my side, then you better be ready to learn what I am about to teach you. Wei Wei, don't forget that you are my descendant. This knowledge I'm going to pa.s.s down to you, if you don't start to learn them, it will soon be forgotten." She let out another sigh and continued. "The younger generation these days, many of them choose to not learning about our craft."

"I will do as you say, grandmother. After all," his lips curved into a playful smile. "It's not like I have anywhere else to go."

Chief Ye let out a snort. Then she turned towards the weeping willow tree with a frown.

"Grandmother, does this mean that you can help them to bring back Physician Jiang."

Chief Ye was silent for a while. "I don't know. It depends."

"Depends on what?"

"On whether heaven will allow them to reunite with the girl again."

…

As the sun was up high and the weather is getting hot, Princess Lingchen suggested them to continue with their conversation at a private place. The group headed towards a restaurant and was led into a big private room. As Jiang Xiao Tian had handled everything before they arrived, the food and drinks were prepared and served immediately.

Yang Yun glanced at the old lady, anxiously. He wanted to ask questions, but, as the Crown Princess was around, he dare not be impolite.

It was not as if Yang Yun's restlessness go unnoticed by the Princess. In fact, although Jiang Xiao Tian hid his emotion well, he too was anxious to know whether Chief Ye had a way to help them to look for his sister, Mingyue.

Princess Lingchen drank some tea to moisten her throat and turned to the old lady. "Chief Ye. How is it? Do you think you can help us to open a portal through that tree?"

Chief Ye thought for a while before she answered, "I can."

Instantly the mood in the room lightened up.

"However," Chief Ye continued. "The spiritual power around the tree was not as strong and stable. Even if I can open up a portal, it doesn't mean that someone could enter or come out through that portal. When the villagers went missing under that tree, there must be another thing that triggered the tree for opening up a stabilize pa.s.sage."

"Then, what can we do for it to open up a stabilize pa.s.sage?" Yang Yun asked.

"According to my calculation, there will be an auspicious day five years later," Chief Ye said. When she finished, she continued to look at everyone in the room.

Chief Ye had thought that they would be disappointed to know that they will have to wait for five years. However, instead of seeing a dejected expression, everyone was steadfast in their belief that they will meet the girl again.

"As long as there is hope to bring back Mingyue, I don't mind if I have to wait for a few more years," Yang Yun said.

The others nodded. They too shared the same opinion as Yang Yun's.

"Don't be happy yet," Chief Ye said. "Even if I can open up the portal by then, I cannot guarantee that it will lead you to the right place."

Yang Yun exchanged his glance with the others and noticed that everyone else was as confuse as he was. None of them understood clearly what Chief Ye's words meant.

"Do you remember that I had once said that when my clansman decided to travel to another world through the old portal, we found out that there are infinite numbers of other dimensions?" Chief Ye asked.

Yang Yun nodded. How can he not remember that? The thought that his wife, Mingyue, was living alone in a harsh world made his determination to search for her and bring her back home resolute.

"Once I open up a portal, it may not lead you to the right s.p.a.ce and time," Chief Ye continued and sighed. "This world may seem like a tiny place; however, to those who really know it, it is a vast place. These other worlds are very real. The time and s.p.a.ce are hidden but connected to one another. Only if we have the right knowledge and luck will we be able to open the portal and go through them."

"You said that if you have the Shadow Gra.s.s, you might be able to find out where Mingyue went to, correct?" Yang Yun asked as he recalled their conversation from the last time. "Why is that? Why the Shadow Gra.s.s?"

"Because the Shadow Gra.s.s came from the world the girl went to," Chief Ye said. "The last time the solar eclipse accidentally opened up a rift, the Shadow Gra.s.s appeared and you were able to harvest it. Only if we have that Shadow Gra.s.s will I be able to pinpoint the exact location of the time and s.p.a.ce she was sent to."

Chief Ye glanced at Yang Yun and hesitated. "Young man, I guess you could help me to pinpoint to the exact s.p.a.ce as you have been touched by the other side, but after five years, I do not know if the presence of the other world around you will be as strong as they are now. From what I can see, it is getting weaker as days pa.s.sed by."

Yang Yun could not hide his frustration. If only the portal could be open now, then, he will be able to go and find his wife now.

Chief Ye continued to stare at Yang Yun before she spoke. "The thing around your neck. Could you show it to me?"
