Smuggling goods between different time and spaces was considered a serious crime of disrupting time and space because it could profoundly affect the development of various time and spaces and ultimately lead to time and space imbalance. Ultimately, Xia Xuanxuan was sentenced to exile in a desolate time and space for ten years.
A desolate time and space, as the name suggests, was a barren time and space without intelligent life. Exiles could live on a planet suitable for human habitation within this time and space.
With basic needs met, but enduring ten years of solitary life, with no one to communicate with and no entertainment, days passed monotonously and tediously. Xia Xuanxuan had been living alone on that planet for over two years.
Yu Yi and Meng Qing quickly browsed through the subsequent diary entries. After Xia Xuanxuan rejected Lin Bai’s visitation proposal, Lin Bai never mentioned her again in his diary.
Yu Yi asked, “Would Lin Bai have gone to find Xia Xuanxuan himself?”
“No,” Meng Qing shook his head. “Although Lin Bai’s terminal can freely traverse time and space, he would not irresponsibly disappear for many days, abandoning his work and friends.”
Hearing this, Yu Yi said worriedly, “Xia Xuanxuan is still serving her sentence in the desolate time and space, but Xia Zhenda has escaped. Maybe he will come back to take revenge on Lin Bai? That would be terrible. He would definitely harm Lin Bai.”
Meng Qing, who had been frowning while reading the diary, said with a worried expression, “I hope not, but currently, the most likely lead is this case involving Xia Xuanxuan.”
After pondering, he added, “Actually, I would prefer if Lin Bai’s disappearance was indeed done by Xia Zhenda, as that would still offer a chance of finding Lin Bai. I think Xia Zhenda coming to find Lin Bai after more than two years might be to force or use him to rescue Xia Xuanxuan, which would at least mean Lin Bai is still alive.”
Yu Yi nodded, “Indeed, but how to find Xia Zhenda… Oh, do you know where Xia Xuanxuan is serving her sentence? If Xia Zhenda wants to rescue his daughter, he would definitely go to her place of exile.”
