Lin Hao listened to the voice of the white ape in his mind, but did not reply, falling into a period of contemplation.
He was wondering how credible the white ape's words were.
At the same time, Lin Hao finally understood what the Lin family meant when they said his grandfather had calculated something major and then left the Lin family.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Hao believed that what his grandfather had calculated was the time when the Kunxu Heavenly Gate would open.
And his grandfather leaving the Lin family to come to Kunxu was very likely to prepare to enter the Heavenly Gate.
With these thoughts in his mind, he looked at the white ape before him.
Lin Hao no longer thought about it.
Even if everything the white ape said was false, it didn't matter.
He already knew the location of the Heavenly Gate anyway.
Moreover, he had completely memorized the path to the Heavenly Gate, which involved traversing the spiritual energy storm.
All he had to do was to continuously calculate the time of the Heavenly Gate's opening.
Once he calculated the opening time, he would immediately rush here.
With these thoughts, Lin Hao nodded secretly and then said to the white ape, "Alright."
After speaking, Lin Hao took one last look at the Heavenly Gate, which stood over twenty meters tall on the flat ground, and then turned to return.
Since he had already inquired about his grandfather's whereabouts, there was no point in staying here any longer. He might as well go back and prepare properly for his next entry into the Heavenly Gate.
Seeing Lin Hao turn and leave, Xiao Hei quickly followed.
Meanwhile, the white ape watched Lin Hao leave, and a sigh of relief immediately escaped its mind.
However, after Lin Hao had taken a few steps, the white ape's heart stirred, and it immediately transmitted a message to Lin Hao's mind: "My lord, please wait. Could you please tell me your specific address?"
"If the Heavenly Gate opens, I will immediately send Flying Eagles to find you."
Hearing the white ape's voice in his mind, Lin Hao was stunned at first, and then he told the white ape his address.
To be honest, if the white ape hadn't brought this up, Lin Hao would have almost forgotten about it.
However, this white ape was being so kind as to remind him; he wondered if it had some ulterior motive.
With these thoughts, Lin Hao shook his head and continued his return journey.
The journey back was faster than the journey in.
About an hour later, Lin Hao and Xiao Hei emerged from Kunxu.
As for the white ape, after escorting Lin Hao and Xiao Hei out of the spiritual energy storm area, it vanished in an instant.
Lin Hao paid it no mind and walked out with Xiao Hei.
Upon emerging, the sun was high in the sky, already at its zenith.
Lin Hao looked at the fiery red sun and was momentarily lost in thought.
Then, Lin Hao took out his phone and checked it.
Upon seeing it, he was startled.
His phone displayed that they had been in Kunxu for three days.
They had arrived on the morning of the 20th, and now it was the morning of the 23rd.
But.
Lin Hao clearly felt that only a few hours had passed while they were inside Kunxu.
At most, six or seven hours.
In such a short period, three days had already passed?
Lin Hao found it hard to believe and instinctively thought his phone was broken.
But after looking it over, the phone seemed normal.
Just then, Xiao Hei looked at Lin Hao curiously and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Lin Hao took a deep breath and said, "Take a look at your phone."
As he spoke, Lin Hao handed his phone over.
Xiao Hei was immediately startled upon seeing it.
Then, he quickly took out his own phone and checked it.
Upon seeing it, he was completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Hei, seeing Lin Hao's phone display the 23rd, subconsciously assumed Lin Hao's phone had a problem.
But when he took out his own phone and saw that it also displayed the 23rd, Xiao Hei was completely dumbfounded.
"Three days. We've actually been in Kunxu for three days."
"But why didn't I feel anything? It only felt like a few hours had passed?"
Listening to Xiao Hei's words, Lin Hao patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
As they walked towards their parked car, Lin Hao mused in his heart that the legendary Kunxu was indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Hei thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he stopped pondering and drove them back.
Upon returning to their hotel in the city and seeing his junior sister Lin Qingxin safe and sound, Lin Hao finally felt relieved.
As for his junior sister Lin Qingxin, she threw herself into Lin Hao's arms, her eyes red.
For the past three days, she had been suffering every moment.
Although she had believed Lin Hao's story.
Once Lin Hao and Xiao Hei had left, her heart had immediately begun to panic.
At the same time, she was filled with a sense of fear, dread, and loneliness.
After Lin Hao and Xiao Hei left, she hadn't stepped out of her hotel room, anxiously awaiting Lin Hao and Xiao Hei's return every moment.
The most she did each day was stand by the window, looking outside, or call the hotel front desk to ask if Lin Hao and Xiao Hei had returned.
The hotel front desk was impatient, but Lin Qingxin was staying in their most luxurious room and had already prepaid ten days' worth of rent.
Therefore, even though Lin Qingxin constantly bothered them with phone calls, they could only endure it.
Three days passed like this.
She had thought today would be another day of disappointment.
But unexpectedly, Lin Hao and Xiao Hei had returned.
Lin Qingxin was overjoyed and extremely excited, but also with a hint of lingering resentment.
Lin Hao held his junior sister Lin Qingxin, gently patting her back and comforting her for a while before Lin Qingxin finally rubbed her eyes and let go of Lin Hao.
"We'll rest for one night, and then we'll head back tomorrow morning," Lin Hao said with a smile, ruffling his junior sister Lin Qingxin's bangs.
Lin Qingxin, who had been very happy, suddenly faltered when she heard Lin Hao say they were going back.
Then, she looked up at Lin Hao and asked, "Brother Lin Hao, where are we going back to?"
Hearing Lin Qingxin's words, Lin Hao smiled and said, "We'll go back to the Lin family first, and then to Modu."
Upon hearing that Lin Hao intended to return to Modu in the end, Lin Qingxin was instantly relieved.
She truly didn't want to return to the Lin family anymore.
Of course, if her grandfather, Lin Hao, and Xiao Hei were all returning to the Lin family, then she would follow them.
As Lin Qingxin was thinking these thoughts, Lin Hao saw the happy expression on his junior sister's face and smiled, "What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"
"You guess," Lin Qingxin said with a chuckle, looking at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao smiled, shook his head, and got up to go to his own room to wash up.
"Brother Lin Hao, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you," Lin Qingxin said with a beaming smile as Lin Hao walked out the door.
...
The next day.
Lin Hao, his junior sister Lin Qingxin, and Xiao Hei took a plane back early in the morning.
Lin Hao could have gone directly back to Modu, but after the experience in Kunxu.
He felt that his grandfather might have left something for him…
