Xu Ziyang, after a moment of thought, shook her head cutely and said, "I don't know."

"How did you get it?" The scar-faced one-armed man stared intently at Xu Ziyang's eyes without letting up for a moment.

Xu Ziyang tried to maintain her composure and, as if recalling, said, "I only remember that the night before last, I was still inside Zhongdu City. In the heavy snow, I suddenly had an epiphany. When I came to my senses, I found myself deep in the Cangmang Mountains. There, I saw many feathers and some pieces of meat on the ground. Thinking I didn't have any food, I picked up a piece of meat."

The scar-faced one-armed man released his mental energy to scan Xu Ziyang and nodded gently, saying, "Not bad, you indeed still have the aura of an epiphany."

Xu Ziyang was taken aback; could he even tell that?

The expression on the scar-faced one-armed man's face eased slightly, and he asked casually, "Are you from Zhongdu City?"

"Um!" Xu Ziyang responded softly.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Ziyang."

"Do you have the surname Xu?"

"Yes, Senior."

"What is your relationship with the Xu family of Zhongdu City?" The scar-faced one-armed man's expression changed slightly.

Xu Ziyang's heart tightened. She didn't know what the relationship was between this person and the Xu family, but with the situation at hand, she couldn't deny it. So, she cautiously said, "Senior, I am a disciple of the Xu family."

The scar-faced one-armed man's face showed excitement, and his body leaned slightly towards Xu Ziyang. He stared at her intently and asked urgently, "Do you know Xu Lin?"

"Xu Lin?" Xu Ziyang asked in surprise, "Senior, do you know Senior Brother Xu Lin?"

The scar-faced one-armed man didn't answer Xu Ziyang's question but exhaled lightly. His face no longer showed any severity, and he asked kindly, "So you do know Xu Lin. How is he doing?"

Xu Ziyang saw the change in the scar-faced one-armed man's expression. Although she didn't understand why, she knew that he must have a close relationship with Xu Lin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so friendly upon hearing that she was from the Xu family and knew Xu Lin. Facing such a powerful person, Xu Ziyang didn't dare to lie. Given Xu Lin's status in the Xu family, there was no need for her to lie. So, she recounted Xu Lin's situation in the Xu family to the scar-faced one-armed man in detail.

After listening to Xu Ziyang's account, the scar-faced one-armed man's face showed an even happier smile. He stood up and said kindly, "Girl, let's go. Rest at my place for a while. I have something for you to take to Xu Lin."

Xu Ziyang was taken aback and thought, Could this old man live in the Cangmang Mountains?

But Xu Ziyang didn't dare to ask anything. She closed her mouth and stood up respectfully, silently following the scar-faced one-armed man.

The scar-faced one-armed man walked straight into the depths of the valley. Xu Ziyang followed behind, wondering if the scar-faced one-armed man really lived in the valley. With this question in mind, Xu Ziyang followed the scar-faced one-armed man deep into the valley, reaching a stone wall. They entered through a crack about a meter wide and walked about a hundred meters. Suddenly, the view opened up.

Before Xu Ziyang was a small valley about a hundred meters in diameter, surrounded by steep cliffs. Snow could be seen on the cliffs above, but the valley was warm like spring. Several medicinal fields were cultivated within the valley, growing various rare herbs. In the middle of the valley was a bamboo house. In front of the bamboo house, a fierce beast was lying on the grass. Xu Ziyang focused and was startled to a halt, not daring to take another step. The beast lying on the grass was actually a qilin. Hearing the footsteps, it lifted its massive head, opened its large, bell-like eyes, and looked at Xu Ziyang, emitting a powerful aura that pressed down on her.

Just as Xu Ziyang was about to be overwhelmed, she heard the scar-faced one-armed man scold with a laugh, "Little Meng, don't fool around. This is our guest."

The qilin retracted its aura, glanced at Xu Ziyang, and then uninterestedly lowered its head, lying back on the grass.

"Girl, don't be afraid. Let's go inside and talk." The scar-faced one-armed man said kindly, then continued walking towards the bamboo house in the middle of the valley.

Following the scar-faced one-armed man into the bamboo house, Xu Ziyang quickened her steps, walking to the left of the scar-faced one-armed man, placing him between her and the qilin. The scar-faced one-armed man chuckled and stepped into the bamboo house, pointing to a bamboo chair and saying to Xu Ziyang, "Girl, sit down."

Xu Ziyang sat down as instructed and curiously looked around the bamboo house. The scar-faced one-armed man sat on the bed opposite her. There was only one chair in the room, indicating that the scar-faced one-armed man lived alone. He stared at Xu Ziyang, his expression seemingly lost in thought. After a while, he sighed lightly and said somewhat wistfully, "Girl, don't ask who I am, and don't tell anyone you've seen me."

"Then... Senior Brother Xu Lin?"

The scar-faced one-armed man shook his head sadly and said, "Don't tell him either."

He then looked deeply at Xu Ziyang, his expression serious, and said, "It's not that I'm mysterious, but I have very powerful enemies outside the Cangmang Mountains. If they find out about my connection to the Xu family, the Xu family might be in danger of being wiped out."

Xu Ziyang was taken aback. The scar-faced one-armed man was already a god-like figure to her, and now she learned that there were people even more powerful than him. She looked up at the scar-faced one-armed man and thought, "His face and the lost arm must have been caused by his enemies."

"It's not time for me to reveal myself yet. One day, I will come to you, and I will thank the Xu family properly."

As he spoke, a ring and a bracelet suddenly appeared in his hand, which he handed to Xu Ziyang, saying gently, "Give this storage ring to Xu Lin. It contains some cultivation pills. Hand it over to him for me. The bracelet also contains some cultivation pills, and I'll give it to you."

He then sighed deeply and said, "I had some equipment, but it would be recognized by others, so I won't give it to you now."

Xu Ziyang took the ring and bracelet, frowned, and said to the scar-faced one-armed man, "But... how should I tell Senior Brother Xu Lin?"

The scar-faced one-armed man pondered for a moment and said helplessly, "Just tell him that you met someone who asked you to give it to him. Tell him not to tell anyone, not even his father, Xu Haoran. If he asks about my appearance, describe me in a way that doesn't resemble me at all. Tell him that when the time is right, I will come to see him."

"Okay!!" Xu Ziyang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
