Bai Zihe was stunned.
Hearing his words, the masked man seemed to know him.
And according to the meaning of the drawing… it seemed to be aimed at him?
"Who… who are you?"
Bai Zihe asked in a deep voice, slightly dazed.
The masked man in black slowly removed his mask, revealing an extremely handsome face, truly elegant and dashing.
One could say.
Among the many noble young masters and brilliant talents Bai Zihe had met…
None could compare to him!
Especially his demeanor…
He was like someone plucking stars from the heavens.
"I am…"
He then curved his lips and slowly said, "Your senior brother, Bei Tang Mo!"
Senior brother?
Bai Zihe was immediately startled.
He remembered.
He did indeed have a senior brother.
However, he had never met this senior brother, nor had he heard much about him, to the point where he had essentially forgotten him.
Back then.
When Bai Zihe went to Nine Dragon Mountain, this senior brother had already been down the mountain for a long time.
Moreover, he had joined the sect very early.
Even his second, fifth, and seventh senior sisters did not know him very well and rarely mentioned him.
The reason Bai Zihe was able to recall him.
Was because after their master disappeared, someone had sent a letter to Nine Dragon Mountain.
Bai Zihe was present at the time.
When he asked his senior aunts, they said he was his senior brother.
However, Bai Zihe did not know the content of that letter. He only knew of his senior brother's existence because of this incident, and nothing more.
"I do have a senior brother."
Bai Zihe did not lower his guard and asked warily, "But you… you need to provide proof for me to believe you."
Bei Tang Mo smiled dismissively.
Then, he slowly took out a jade pendant from his embrace.
Seeing this jade pendant, Bai Zihe was greatly shocked and almost lost control.
This was their master's jade pendant!
Back then.
When he was tied to a large stone and thrown into the sea by the Qin family, almost dying, it was their master who saved him.
He was wearing this very jade pendant at the time.
It couldn't be fake!
"Senior Brother!"
Bai Zihe's voice was a little hoarse.
Few things could change his expression, but this one certainly could.
"Little Junior Brother, you are very good."
Bei Tang Mo was not as stern as Bai Zihe had imagined. He grinned and praised, "You only stayed on Nine Dragon Mountain for four years, and you've been down the mountain for less than a few months…"
"Yet you've managed to break through to Grandmaster and enter the Yuan Dan realm."
"Master would be very pleased if he knew."
His eyes were full of admiration, and he nodded repeatedly.
Bai Zihe chuckled and said, "That's also thanks to Master and my senior aunts' good teaching. Without their guidance, I wouldn't have reached this point today."
Bei Tang Mo patted his shoulder, "You kid, no need to be humble with me."
Bai Zihe didn't dwell on that and instead asked something he had always wanted to know.
"Senior Brother, you mentioned Master just now…"
Bai Zihe's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Do you know where he went?"
"I do."
Bei Tang Mo's answer immediately made Bai Zihe overjoyed.
After so long…
He could finally know his Master's whereabouts.
If it weren't for his Master back then, he might have long ago perished in the sea, and there would be no Bai Zihe today!
However, Bei Tang Mo's next sentence made Bai Zihe deflate like a punctured balloon.
"But…"
Bei Tang Mo shook his head and said, "Master said that this is something you must find the answer to yourself."
"Not only that…"
Under Bai Zihe's disappointed gaze, Bei Tang Mo continued, "Regarding the Dodecahedron, you must be extremely cautious."
"Dodecahedron?"
Bai Zihe's heart was stirred again by his words.
Senior Brother actually knew about the Dodecahedron!
"Yes."
Bei Tang Mo nodded and smiled, "You must have almost gathered all the elemental keys by now, right?"
Bai Zihe became even more certain that his Senior Brother must know something.
He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I now have nine elemental keys, and I've obtained the map for the last one."
"It's just that…"
"That place currently has no leads."
Just as Bai Zihe was about to ask about the address described on the parchment, Bei Tang Mo seemed to know what he would ask and said directly, "You will know that place soon."
"And…"
Bei Tang Mo smiled mysteriously, "The 'True Origin Spirit Stone' you are holding is also the key to opening the Dodecahedron; it is the eleventh key."
The eleventh key?
Bai Zihe was stunned.
How could the Dodecahedron have eleven keys?
However, he didn't dwell on it too much. Since his Senior Brother said the True Origin Spirit Stone was the eleventh key, it must be true.
"Here, take this."
Bei Tang Mo produced a scroll and handed it to Bai Zihe. His expression suddenly turned solemn. "Little Junior Brother, you must engrave what I say next in your heart."
Seeing how serious he was, Bai Zihe nodded earnestly and said, "Senior Brother, please speak."
A strange glint flashed in Bei Tang Mo's eyes, "You must first find Dragon Island, and then on the fourteenth day of July, open the Dodecahedron on Dragon Island."
"Remember."
"It must be Dragon Island."
"And it must be the fourteenth day of July!"
Bai Zihe nodded sternly, "Okay, I will."
"But…"
Bai Zihe pressed, "Senior Brother, how exactly should this True Origin Spirit Stone be used?"
"Little Junior Brother…"
Bei Tang Mo suddenly smiled and said, "That is something you will have to figure out yourself."
"Alright, I've said all I needed to say."
Bei Tang Mo cast a deep look at Bai Zihe and cautioned him again, "Remember, Dragon Island, July fourteenth, don't make a mistake."
With that, he flashed out a distance of ten zhang.
After a few more movements, he left the manor.
He came and went like the wind.
Bai Zihe returned to the Profound Heaven Pavilion.
He directly told Yue Rushuang, "Fifth Senior Sister, I plan to go to the Yingren Kingdom immediately. Please make the arrangements for me."
"As soon as possible."
The Yingren had come to bid for the True Origin Spirit Stone and had done so much research and preparation. They must know some secrets.
Bai Zihe intended to go and investigate.
The fourteenth of July was not far away.
He not only had to decipher the secret of the True Origin Spirit Stone, but also find Dragon Island and travel to it…
In short, time was extremely tight.
"So urgent?"
Yue Rushuang was surprised but still said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
While Yue Rushuang was making arrangements, Bai Zihe visited General Liu Chengbai's home and met Liu Jiaojiao.
"Brother Bai!"
Liu Jiaojiao was very happy to see him and rushed forward.
Bai Zihe smiled apologetically, "Jiaojiao, I have a very important matter to attend to temporarily, and I must go to the Yingren Kingdom."
"So…"
"I might not be able to make it for your birthday."
As he spoke, Bai Zihe handed Liu Jiaojiao a protective charm, "Consider this my birthday gift to you. Wear it with you at all times."
Liu Jiaojiao was a little disappointed upon hearing his earlier words.
However.
She knew that Bai Zihe was busy with important matters and was a very busy person. The fact that he had specifically come to tell her and prepared a gift cheered her up considerably.
"Plop…"
She suddenly stood on her tiptoes, lightly kissed Bai Zihe's cheek, and then darted into the room.
Only her voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum, drifted out, "Brother Bai, when you return, remember to make up for my birthday!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Bai Zihe responded with a smile, then went to the airport as per the information sent by his Fifth Senior Sister.
However.
Just as Bai Zihe was about to board the plane.
His Fifth Senior Sister called, "Little Junior Brother, do not board the plane. Absolutely do not."
"Something big has happened!"
