Xiao Jian, hearing what his mother said, knew that his parents had made up their minds to send him on a distant journey. He fell silent, feeling a deep sense of unwillingness to part with his parents and younger brother.
The next day, Xiao Jian packed his luggage and was ready to set out. Before he left, Xiao Yi gave him the family heirloom, the Red Bracelet, telling him only that it was the Xiao Family's heirloom and that he must always protect it well. But Xiao Yi did not reveal to him the secret of the Red Bracelet, a secret that could be unlocked only with the blood of death; he would rather not tell his son, wishing only for his son to live safely and let nature take its course.
The couple said goodbye to their eldest son with heavy hearts. Lin Fengrou looked unwilling to part with her eldest son, and with a pained heart, she looked at her younger son in her arms and said, "Brother Yi, Jian'er will surely live a peaceful life until old age, right?"
