llation will also come to an end.
It didn’t concern the Skywings much, so it’s fine that you didn’t go.
Our clan doesn’t need to show respect to others.”

Xia Zonghai said these words with great verve, and Xia Fei had no choice but to shrug.

Just as their conversation ended, they arrived at the entrance to Old Woods’ residence.
It was a rather impressive mansion, though the courtyard itself was quite deserted, looking quite desolate.

“This is where Old Woods reside.
I won’t be going in with you.
Ever since he lost his daughter, he’s been completely listless.
I have no wish to see him sobbing so early in the morning,” Xia Zonghai wagged his finger and said.
“Come back home earlier tonight.
I have some things I need to instruct you on.”

The two said their farewells, and Xia Zonghai left for the Law Enforcement Board to seek people whom he could play chess with.
As for Xia Fei, he rattled the gates of Old Woods’ residence.

An elderly person came to open the gates, his eyebrows drawn in a deep frown, looking like he was completely weighed down with worries.
He led Xia Fei into the guestroom, ordering a servant to bring tea before he hurried off into an inner courtyard to invite Old Woods over.

Left with nothing to do for the moment, Xia Fei stood there as he looked around the room.
The wall to the side hung several pictures, and there was one taken of Old Woods with his own daughter Ellen; the lady depicted in this picture was a lot happier and younger than what she looked like now.

“Doesn’t she look familiar?” Xia Fei pointed to Miss Ellen in the picture and asked.

Oro was quite surprised as he mumbled to himself, “What? I really do find her familiar, though I can’t quite put my finger on where I’ve seen her before…”

Xia Fei chuckled.
“Do you still remember that I once deciphered Woods’ fractal geometry painting, which turned out to be a tune called the Vicissitudes of Starshine?”

Oro mulled this over for some time before suddenly exclaiming, “I remember now! That woman we saw on the Ancient Battlefield looks very much like her.
That strange tune must’ve been the Vicissitudes of Starshine!”

Xia Fei nodded, not saying a word more.

At that time, Xia Fei had found the tune to be very familiar, but he forgot where he had heard it.
Not until later did he realize that the woman was Woods’ daughter, Ellen, while that tune she was humming then should be the Vicissitudes of Starshine.

To think that Woods’ daughter would be related to the lost Law of Time, Xia Fei could not help but feel that the universe was both large and very small at the same time.
Two seemingly unrelated events actually had such a coincidental connection to each other.

Old Woods came walking into the guest room with a sigh at this time.
The man first felt his heart warm a little upon seeing Xia Fei; after all, it was Xia Fei who had helped ease the knot that had been on his heart for many years when he solved the endlessly profound fractal geometry painting.

With the host and guest taking to their respective seats, Xia Fei did not delve into the matter straight away; instead, he first took a detour and asked about the results of Old Woods’ search for his daughter.

Sure enough, when Xia Fei mentioned this topic, Old Woods began to vent his frustrations to Xia Fei.
Xia Zonghai truly could not be blamed for not joining him in this visit, as most would hardly be able to stand seeing Old Woods cry in such sorrow while he spoke of the matter.

It was unavoidable for people to wrestle with sadness, and this was an emotion that had been the norm for Old Woods.
Even if he came across a stranger who knew nothing about him, this old man would not hesitate to pour his heart out to them.
This was all in a bid to alleviate the depression he felt.
This was especially so with Xia Fei, being someone who had helped him before.

Xia Fei patiently listened, taking mental notes of all the valuable information he could find from his words.
It seemed to have been a long time since Old Woods had such a refreshing chance to voice his lamentations, chatting with Xia Fei as if the young man was a confidant, discussing anything and everything under the sun.

…

Xia Fei only departed from the Woods household in the afternoon.
If not for Xia Fei making an excuse to leave, Old Woods might have made him stay for three days and three nights just so the elderly man would have someone to hear him out.

“It seems like the disappearance of Woods’ daughter isn’t at all related to the Law of Time,” Oro shook his head and said.
At first, he had been eagerly listening to Woods as he described every little detail about Miss Ellen, but as time went by, the old demon lord grew impatient, something that was the opposite of what he needed when listening to someone lament.

XIa Fei shook his head.
“There are three important details.
First, Ellen is a musical genius with a very high IQ.
Second, she’s fond of the occult.
Third, many years before Ellen disappeared, she’s already begun acting strange.
She even showed no desire to associate with people her age.”

Oro was puzzled.
“What has any of that got to do with our purpose for coming over? Just what could you infer from those three points?”

Xia Fei smiled.
“Religion.
I think that Miss Ellen’s disappearance has got something to do with religion.”

“Religion?” Oro was even more confused as he spoke in a low voice.
“The biggest religion in this circle is law power.
Everyone loves it.
Aside from that, I’ve never heard of anything related to religion.”

Xia Fei responded.
“These various signs indicate that Ellen was born religious.
Because she’s smart, she’s got plenty of worries in her heart, and with her indecisiveness and lack of obsession, she’s very easily exploited by religion.”

Oro shook his head.
“To think that you have such understanding toward religion, even knowing what sort of people are more likely to join such.
Why don’t you tell me what kind of people will never find religion then?”

With a smirk, Xia Fei answered, “People like me.”

Oro was left quite speechless.
Saying that Xia Fei was the kind to transform himself into a magical figure just so he could trick others would be more appropriate.
Saying that Xia Fei could be fooled by some magical figure, Oro would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
After all, never in his very long life had he met such an obstinate person like this young man.
