Guan Xilin paused, a little hesitant, "But I didn't expect that such a small piece of jade would come from Dayan, a third-class power."
In the past, he would not even dare to imagine that the people of their ninth-class small country would not be afraid of the people of the sixth-class country confronting them head-on, let alone imagine that they would one day inquire about the affairs of the third-class powerful country.
And it seemed that his life had undergone a drastic change since he met Xiaojiu. He could even be sure that, let alone a third-rate power, in the future, he might even be able to enter a first-rate dynasty.
"Oh? Steward Yan said it was from Dayan, a third-class country?" Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows, then nodded: "Then it should be."
"What is it?" Guan Xilin asked in surprise.
"Since I knew that grandpa was kidnapped, I have analyzed it. The other party's cultivation is unfathomable. He easily sneaked into Feng Mansion and kidnapped grandpa, but did not harm anyone in the mansion. It can be concluded that the other party will not harm grandpa's life. Someone with such a cultivation level cannot be from Yao Ri Country, so he must be from another country."
"Since he is from another country and has such cultivation but didn't hurt anyone, he is most likely someone grandpa knows. So, after I told dad, I went to grandpa's room to look for him. Then, guess what I found?" She narrowed her eyes with a sly smile in her eyes.
Seeing his expression, Guan Xilin was startled and said with a strange look: "Don't tell me who found out who kidnapped grandpa?"
"Hehe, that's not the case. But, it's certain that Grandpa knows him. Look." She took out a scroll from the space and opened it, saying, "Grandpa's room is usually not open to people. I only noticed this after I searched his room that day."
"Beauty picture?"
Guan Xilin was slightly surprised. This painting was a bit strange. It was a picture of a beauty, but there was not only one beauty in it. Instead, there was a colorful phoenix accompanying her. However, the strange thing was that when the phoenix flapped its wings and tried to fly, its wings were grabbed by the beauty in the painting who was wearing a simple light green dress.
The beauty's autumn eyes are filled with anger, and she looks at the colorful phoenix that is flapping its wings and about to fly with a look of both anger and surprise. Her expression is lifelike and the painting style is strange, unlike ordinary paintings of beauties.
Looking at this strange yet interesting scroll, he grinned and said, "I didn't expect that my grandfather would collect paintings of beauties! The beauty in this painting is really beautiful. Could it be a portrait of my grandmother? But why is there a colorful phoenix in it? What a strange painting style."
"I thought so at first, but I asked my father and he said no. He had never seen the woman in the painting before. Besides, don't you think this painting has another meaning? Also, this scroll has the mark of a spiritual picture." She chuckled, and the smile on her lips deepened when she thought of the meaning of the painting.
Hearing this, Guan Xilin was stunned: "Spiritual map mark? What is that?"
"There are fluctuations of spiritual power on this painting of a beauty, which means that this painting was painted by a cultivator with spiritual power. Do you see the two finger prints below? That is not cinnabar, but blood. This painting is not only for viewing, but also has a function. If these two finger prints disappear, it means that the person is gone. This spiritual mark is somewhat similar to the longevity lamp, and they have the same function, but it is more advanced. I have checked in ancient books, and ordinary countries do not have such spiritual marks."
