Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

Chapter 225: North Frost Empire

"Sensing the essence of the treasure..."

Lin Yusheng held his chin in his hand, surprised by what Lu Jingxiao said, "Is there really someone who can be so powerful?"

"Of course." Lu Jingxiao nodded. "This world is huge, and what we've seen is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Doesn't that mean that all the precious minerals in the world have been taken by Beihanzhou?"

"That's not entirely true," Lu Jingxiao said. "Since the early 19th century, the ability of Beihan Continent's experts in appraising treasures has been widely known. It was also from that time that major stone gambling venues and rough stone trading markets began to prohibit people from Beihan Continent from entering. Some rough stone dealers, having suffered losses in the past, naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to trade with people from Beihan Continent again."

"When you go to the rough stone trading market in Myanmar tomorrow, you'll find that the market management will check nationality and ID cards. Beihanzhou is made up of three countries, and anyone with nationality from any of those three countries will be barred from entering."

Regarding the three major countries in Beihan Continent, Lin Yusheng had read in a political book that the Beihan Continent originally had no national borders. The entire Beihan Continent was one Beihan Empire. The Beihan Empire had a history of 8,000 years, and its historical origins and level of civilization far exceeded those of other countries in the world.

With the evolution of history, Beihan Continent was gradually divided into three countries: Beihan Empire, Inca Kingdom and Chaofeng Kingdom.

However, the Beihan Empire is still the largest country in Beihan Continent, located in the central area. The combined area of ​​the Inca Kingdom and the Chaofeng Kingdom is less than one-tenth of the Beihan Empire, which can be ignored.

The economy and politics of Beihan Continent are naturally firmly controlled by the Beihan Empire, which is in turn firmly controlled by several ancient and mysterious families. In the Beihan Empire, even members of the royal family dare not offend those major families.

It is a place where family power far exceeds national power, a place completely different from China.

"But even if they can't access the rough stone markets around the world, it's nothing to the people of Beihan Continent. Their abilities are already extraordinary, and if they want money, they naturally have countless ways to do it. That's why, for thousands of years, the Beihan Empire's economic strength has always been the world's number one, leaving other countries far behind."

Economy also represents military technology. When other countries were still in the era of cold weapons, the Beihan Empire had already developed various missiles and artificial intelligence weapons. The gap was so huge that it was daunting.

But even with such strong economic and military strength, the Beihan Empire has never proactively provoked any war in history. Even though its land area is less than one-tenth of China's, it has never thought of seizing land resources. On the contrary, when wars broke out frequently in other countries, the Beihan Empire would often stand up, suppress them with military strength, and order a ceasefire.

Several major battles in history were quelled by the Beihan Empire, which protected countless countries from destruction.

Therefore, when people from the Beihan Empire go to certain countries, they will be particularly respected by the locals.

Lin Yusheng listened to Lu Jingxiao's popular science and nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, Lin Yusheng, Young Master Fu asked you to write a calligraphy for him. Have you written it for him?" Lu Jingxiao asked.

"No." Lin Yusheng shook his head. "The college entrance examination and the project have been mixed up lately. I recently took over Cui Yuxuan and have been busy, so I haven't had time to do this yet."

"But now that you've reminded me, I should hurry up. I'll write the letter and send it to him when I get back from Burma."

"Do you know why Young Master Fu asked you to write a calligraphy?" Lu Jingxiao asked again.

"Because I write well?"

"No." Lu Jingxiao shook his head, "It's not just because you write well."

He thought about it and decided to tell her the real reason why Fu Shaohan asked her for a calligraphy.

In this way, Lin Yusheng can decide for herself whether to help Fu Shaohan.

"Fu Shaohan's mother, Mrs. Fu, disappeared eighteen years ago. Fu Shaohan has never given up searching for his mother's whereabouts, but there are no clues."

"Some time ago, he told me that your handwriting is somewhat similar to Madam Fu's, so he wanted to verify some things. He wanted to know who taught you how to write, and whether the person who taught you how to write is related to the missing Madam Fu."

"That's it..."

Lin Yusheng understood, but unfortunately she was narcissistic. She actually thought that Fu Shaohan admired her calligraphy!

"Actually, he could have asked me directly. He must have felt bad these past few years because of his mother's disappearance. I'd be happy to help him."

Lin Yusheng said directly: "My calligraphy was taught by my master. My master is the one I told you about last time."

As Lin Yusheng spoke, she caught sight of the piece of paper hidden in the compartment on Lu Jingxiao's desk. She took it out again, pointed at it, and explained, "That's her!"

Lu Jingxiao's eyes fell on the paper.

It was the abstract painting that Lin Yusheng drew for him last time.

The little man in the painting has never changed, still with his hands on his hips and his hair flying...

Lu Jingxiao's mouth twitched again, "So she was the one who taught you calligraphy."

"Hmm!" Lin Yusheng nodded. "My handwriting is indeed somewhat similar to my master's. According to Young Master Fu, if my master's handwriting is somewhat similar to that of the missing Madam Fu, does that mean my master is related to Madam Fu?"

"In your memory, has there ever been anyone around your master who might be Mrs. Fu?" Lu Jingxiao asked.

"Then I need to know what Madam Fu looks like first."

Lu Jingxiao thought for a moment and sighed, "I did meet Madam Fu when she was young, but that was over 20 years ago. I was too young then and can't remember what she looked like at all."

"I only vaguely remember my feelings when I saw her. I was impressed by how stunning Madam Fu was. Her appearance was stunning, her temperament was elegant, and she had the demeanor of a noble lady."

Lin Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "Based on Master Fu's age, Madam Fu should be about the same age as my master."

She sighed again as she spoke, "But Master has never been around a woman of Madam Fu's age. Master usually only interacts with the abbot of the temple and the nearby villagers."

"I remember you said your master disappeared three years ago?"

"Correct."

"Was there anything unusual on the day she disappeared?"

"No, it was just a very ordinary day..."

Lin Yusheng recalled that day and explained, "Back then, I often accompanied my grandparents during the day, helping them chop wood and pick vegetables. At night, I would return to the temple to see her. But that day, when I returned, she was gone. I thought she had gone out on business, because she had been away for days or even weeks before. Furthermore, she never told me where she was going or what she was going to do."

"So I initially thought it was just a normal trip and she would be back."

"But I waited and waited for a long, long time, but she never came back."

"It wasn't until later that I realized she wasn't coming back at all."

She didn't know why her master left, nor did she know why she didn't come back.

The woman meant more than just a master to her. She was more like a mother. Realizing that she had left completely, Lin Yusheng was very sad.
