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.
"Shit!" 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 glasses. "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 Grass, 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 space. 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."
