Yang Yun did not give his answer right away . He stared at Xue Yi Ming for a long time, debating whether he could trust this man or not . After weeks of living under Xue Yi Ming care, Yang Yun could tell that he was someone who bore no ill intention towards others . However, Chief Ye"s warning continued to run through his head: if he wanted to live, he should not trust others easily .
But Yang Yun also knew that he could not survive in this strange world without any help . He wandered on the street to look for Mingyue for days and understood that without Xue Yi Ming"s help, it would be impossible for him to have shelter and food . This strange world was too complicated for him to understand .
"When did you find out?" Yang Yun asked . With this question, he had verified Xue Yi Ming"s suspicion .
In the end, Yang Yun chose to trust Xue Yi Ming . Yang Yun believed that fate had brought him to meet Xue Yi Ming for a reason .
Xue Yi Ming"s eyes went wide . He was expecting Yang Yun to deny and gave him thousands of excuses . But, he never expected that Yang Yun would quickly confirm his suspicions . Xue Yi Ming exchanged a glance with Li Ran and saw the excitement on his friend"s face .

"Sister Mudan"s sketches?" Looking at the dumbfounded face of the two men before him, Yang Yun made a guess .
Xue Yi Ming nodded .

"That could not be all . How did you know? What gives me away?"
"You acted carefully, but maybe too carefully . I thought the way you acted was strange," Xue Yi Ming said . "However, what ignited my suspicion was not you . It was from Lin Mingyue . "
Yang Yun frowned as he heard the name . "Lin?"
Xue Yi Ming nodded . "Your wife, she was adopted by General Lin and his wife years ago . "
"Lin Mingyue is really your wife?" Li Ran asked .
"We"ve married six years ago before she disappeared," Yang Yun said .
"s.h.i.t!" Li Ran cursed . "How old was she when she married?" He gave Yang Yun a look over and frowned . "You don"t look too old . How old are you when you married her?"
Yang Yun could sense a judgemental tone from Li Ran, but he still answered . "Six years ago, she was sixteen, and I was nineteen . "
Li Ran leaned forward and adjusted his gla.s.ses . "Is that even legal?"
Yang Yun frowned at his question . "What do you mean?"
"Hey, hey," Noticing Yang Yun"s change of expression, Xue Yi Ming held up a hand . He turned to Li Ran and said, "Let"s not forget . Different times, different customs . He"s not from here, remember?"
Yang Yun lowered his head and sighed . He recalled the way Mingyue looked at him when they met . His heart hurt whenever he remembered that she did not recognize him .
"Mingyue doesn"t seem to recognize me," Yang Yun said . "What happened to her?"
"She lost her memories," Xue Yi Ming said . "She could not remember anything about what happened before we found her . At that time, she couldn"t even remember her name . "
Yang Yun felt as if his heart fell on the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces .
Xue Yi Ming took a deep breath before he continued . "Six years ago, I was the one who found her . That night, she fell into the lake and almost drowned . When I found her, I took her to General Lin"s mansion . I found her knapsack with her name, Jiang Mingyue, embroidered . Therefore, when I heard your wife"s name and saw Sister Mudan"s sketch, I had a hunch . "
"Why didn"t you tell me?"
"Because I wasn"t so sure that Lin Mingyue is the same person you"re looking for," Xue Yi Ming said . "Or rather, I don"t dare to believe that everything is true . Just thinking of it, doesn"t this situation sounded absurd?"
Yang Yun thought over it . When he first heard that someone could vanish after harvesting Shadow Gra.s.s, he too was skeptical .
"But Lin Mingyue appeared at the military compound six years ago," Xue Yi Ming continued . "And you said that your wife went missing six years ago . I wanted to believe that this was not my imagination . That was why I brought you to General Lin"s birthday banquet . But, I didn"t think that she really was the person you were looking for . I thought everything was only a strange coincidence . "
"That"s right," Li Ran interjected . "Back then, Xue Yi Ming insisted that he saw Lin Mingyue fell from the sky into the lake . Everyone thought he was hallucinating after drinking too much . "
Yang Yun turned to Xue Yi Ming again as the man recounted the night he met his wife . As he listened to it, Yang Yun was glad that Mingyue had met Xue Yi Ming and Lin"s family when she was taken to this world . Xue Yi Ming had saved her life, and the Lin family had protected her well during this time . Thankfully, his wife did not have to suffer too many difficulties in this world .
"Tell me . Where are you from?" Xue Yi Ming asked after a while . "Looking at the way both you and Lin Mingyue dressed when I found you two, I guess it must be somewhere back in time . Are you a time-traveler?"
"I"m from a country called Da Cheng," Yang Yun said . "I don"t know what anything about a time-traveler, but I came from another time and s.p.a.ce . According to my teacher, there are thousands of other dimensions, but each of them is connected to one another . "
"Then, how did you get here?" Xue Yi Ming asked .
"Right," Li Ran nodded . His excitement grew as they got to the part he was waiting to hear . "A time-machine? A police box? Or through a witch of dimensions?"
Yang Yun turned to him and frowned . Although he found that Li Ran was acting weird, at least he did not rush to kill him upon finding out his secret . "A tree," Yang Yun answered . "My teacher and her tribe built an array around a magical tree to create a portal to get here . "
"How did you and your wife get separated?" Li Ran asked .
"My wife, she did not get here through the same portal," Yang Yun said . "Six years ago, she was sucked into this world when she harvested a rare herb . According to my teacher, the herb originated from this world . When Mingyue took something that belongs to this world, she was taken away . "
