Song Mimi stayed out as the people took care of Fan Bing in the house. Then Zhou Sheng and the others arrived right then.
"Sister, what's going on?"
Song Mimi looked at all of them as she placed the dagger down as Chu Beiji and Lin Yi jumped back in fright as well as Song Luo.
"That's a fancy dagger. Where did you find it and... why are they so scared of it?"
Zhou Sheng asked curiously as she looked at the rest confused by their actions.
"It sure is fancy but not friendly to our kind. This dagger can make you weak for hours and also gives us an unbearable pain. I remember the pain."
Lin Yi said as he shuddered just by remembering the times he was punished for slacking off.
"Seems it was found along with the paintings they found of our ancestors. It's very old from its looks."
At this point Zhou Sheng took five steps away from it as she was frightened by it.
"It seems they must be the favorite group of the Cove to have this. I bet they must be making more of it in their creepy labs. But why are they here in Yunnan."
Song Luo asked as she moved away from the guys who were still hugging each other in fright.
"Well... seems they knew the one who possesses the power to summon spirits is here. Turns out to be Mrs Xiao."
Zhong Hu said as Fan Bing came out with the household behind her. The old man amongst them lit a flair and threw it up with great strength reaching very high before it came down. Then the people finally came out of their homes.
"I really am the luckiest one amongst my generation to see the new generation. I guess you still have a lot to ask and I'll answer them right away. My strength is depleting and it will take a while to wake up after being stabbed by this dagger."
"I don't know where to start but, where have you been all these years. We want to put an end to the pain we have to go through... as I say that I wonder why I'm not dead as now. I used my power in front of ordinary humans."
Mrs Xiao smiled as she sat down and was served tea right then.
"Sit down first. Let's all have some calming tea..."
She poured each of them a cup of tea as they sat down. Zhong Hu took out a lemon and handed it over to Song Luo as she cut in half with a dagger she formed.
"You don't like the bitterness of Beijing tea...?"
Mrs Xiao asked as she watched her cut the lemon in half. Song Luo raised her head at this point to look at her.
"Try this tea without lemon. Yunnan has something special you don't wanna miss. It's not very bitter as you assume."
She said as she watched her take a sip before looking back at Song Mimi.
"I'll stop leaving you in suspense then. The secret is within Yunnan. This land you stand on right now gives you life and will use your power without no pain and it's all because this place right here, has some remains of the battle between the seven beings and humans back then during the time of our ancestors. It has experienced the power of our mana before so you're able to stand without being shattered. I found this place back when I parted ways with my generation. We lost all contacts then."
"So... the people here know about it as well?"
Lin Yi asked as he watched the people go about their daily business like nothing happened. Some men cleared out the bodies as others tidied the mess.
"Of course they do. This is their land."
Song Mimi just sat there as she thought of it and Mrs Xiao just watched her.
"Say what's on your mind young leader."
"Seven terms valley..."
They all turned to her as she mentioned that name.
"You already know where it is. Why do you ask about it then...? You didn't go in, did you? But your power has greatly improved. You've almost reached the stage of harnessing your mark."
They all looked at her clueless about her words.
"Okay... take everything from the start, details, plot, say everything well."
Chu Beiji said as he got more intrigued by the story.
"Why don't we let Song Mimi say her part of the story first."
Mrs Xiao said as they all turned to Song Mimi waiting for her explanation.
"On the day I found the girls in the apartment, that's when I found the space to the seven terms realm. I figured it was the entrance to it ever since I was out for seven days. In my dream I first came across that part before appearing in the land of noting but a vast land of bare rock solid ground. There were crystal growing from the rocks with multiple beautiful colors."
"You only saw what the gods wanted you to see. If you're able to enter the seven terms valley one day which you must, it's much more greater than you expect. I'm in no position to say a word about it. I'll receive punishment as the seven terms valley is a world the gods created to speak with the seven beings. You have to experience it yourself. But I can tell you something else."
"Ms Song, old madam Ling has called for a meeting discussing her shares at a tea party tomorrow."
Zhong Hu interrupted as they were still in the middle of their conversation.
"At least the old lady finally made up her mind."
Song Luo said sighing loudly.
"We will discuss it later after we go back. Mrs Xiao please go on."
Song Mimi said ignoring his words as Mrs Xiao placed her hand on hers.
"I have nothing else to say but to tell you the only thing you want to hear. That silly boy is travelling around right now. He moved from New York to new place I don't know. Harnessing his power by himself without any guidance..."
She laughed as she said that making Song Mimi smile as well.
"He'll be back when he's ready. Don't wait for such a silly person in your life."
Mrs Xiao said getting up to go inside as she said that.
"I only want to be with him after everything is done. I can wait for a thousand years if I must."
Mrs Xiao stopped as she said that before turning back to her.
"Come back after you're done with what you have to do. I want to teach you something I know."
She said briefly as she went back inside being supported by someone.
