Two keys
"Brother Ye, don't take offense. My father is old, so he likes to ask questions. "
Qiu Yuan smiled apologetically in the courtyard. Ye Zichen shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. It's good for the old City Lord to be cautious."
"What's there to be cautious about? He just likes to test others." Qiu Yuan pursed his lips and said, "He also likes to impose things that others don't like on others. For example, I clearly don't like Immortal Cultivation, but he still forces me to do it. I'm so annoyed!"
"The Old City Lord wanted you to have some ability to protect yourself!"
"He just feels that I'm embarrassing him." Qiu Yuan shook his head and snorted, "He cares about his face."
"Be careful."
Just as Qiu Yuan was retorting, Ye Zichen suddenly pushed him away. Then, a row of steel needles appeared on the ground where he had been standing.
"Assassin!"
The soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion also rushed over with torches. The person squatting on the roof saw that his attack did not succeed, so he disappeared from everyone's sight after a few steps.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
One of the burly men rushed over. Qiu Yuan shook his head indifferently. That burly man frowned and shouted at the people behind him.
"Chase!"
Ye Zichen also wanted to help, but Qiu Yuan stopped him.
"Don't go. It's impossible to catch up."
From his expression, it seemed that he was already used to being assassinated. He glanced at the steel needles on the ground and walked forward without any hesitation.
Not long later, Qiu Yuan led Ye Zichen and co. into the room.
"Brother Ye, you can stay here tonight. There are two rooms in this house. The two of you can stay together and look after each other. The City Lord's Mansion isn't that safe these days. "
Qiu Yuan pointed at the two bedrooms in the room. His calm tone caused Ye Zichen to raise his eyebrows.
"That person was trying to assassinate you, right? Why didn't you let me capture him?"
"It's not that I don't want you to go, but you can't catch them at all." Qiu Yuan smiled faintly, "Although our Pond City isn't as big as Maple City, we still have experts. My father is a mid-stage Heaven Immortal. Even he couldn't catch the person who tried to assassinate me. Do you think there's any use in you going? "
"So it's actually like this."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. A mid-stage Sky Immortal was already a peak expert. Even if his movement technique was ordinary, even a perfected Sky Immortal who specialized in movement techniques would not be able to escape from him.
Since even the Old City Lord couldn't catch him, didn't that mean that the person was a Sky Immortal?
Ye Zichen glanced at Qiu Yuan in confusion. Why would someone of this level come to deal with someone of the Spiritual Body level?
"They probably killed me for the broken key."
Qiu Yuan seemed to notice Ye Zichen's suspicion, so he took out a glowing key from his chest.
"Hey, why is it glowing? I've worn it for so long and I've never seen it glow."
"The key to Celestial Worthy Mountain."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. I didn't expect Qiu Yuan to have a key to Mount Sky Sovereign as well. As for why its key was glowing, that was easy to explain. Ye Zichen had one as well.
As long as the keys were within a certain range, they would automatically light up. This was also a form of warning.
"That's weird. I've picked it up for so long and it's never lit up," Qiu Yuan muttered in confusion. "Why did it light up?"
"Yuan 'er, that assassin …"
The old city lord hurried over frantically. When he saw the glowing key in Qiu Yuan's hand, he immediately stopped and looked towards Ye Zichen and Zuo Mo.
"It's none of your business. I don't want to make you angry."
Qiu Yuan twitched his mouth as if he was throwing a tantrum. The old city lord pulled Qiu Yuan behind him, then looked at Ye Zichen and co. cautiously, "Don't be like this.
"You're also here for the Celestial Worthy Mountain, right? There are only two of you here, and one key can bring three people in. Aren't you a little too greedy for my son's key?"
"City Lord, I think you've misunderstood. We didn't approach him for Qiu Yuan's key. I did not come to Pond Town for the Celestial Worthy Mountain. "
Ye Zichen shook his head with a wry smile. The old city lord pursed his lips, then dragged Qiu Yuan out of the room without caring about his reaction.
"I'll let you stay for the night. I hope you can leave my City Lord's Mansion tomorrow morning."
"Of course."
Zuo Mo snorted with a frown as she watched the City Lord and Qiu Yuan leave the room.
"What does the old City Lord want? He invited us to the City Lord's Mansion, but now he wants to chase us away!"
"Don't worry about it so much. Anyway, we don't plan to stay here for long. We'll stay here for the night. Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, we'll go to Mount Biluo. "
Ye Zichen smiled, then pointed at the two rooms and raised his eyebrows.
"Which one do you want?"
Qiu Yuan, who was dragged away by the city lord, was dragged all the way to the study before he broke free from the old city lord's grasp.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Don't get too close to those two in the future!" The old city lord said with a frown. "They might have come for your key."
"What key? Are you talking about this shitty thing?"
With that, Qiu Yuan pulled the key off his neck. At that moment, the key was still shining with light, but it was much dimmer than when it was beside Ye Zichen.
"Yuan 'er, those two definitely have a key in their hands as well. You can tell from the light on the key. We don't know their identities, and they suddenly appeared at a time like this. It's very possible that they're here to steal your key! "
The old city lord explained patiently.
"Since you were able to pick up this key by chance, then you must be fated with Mount Supreme. As long as you can enter Mount Supreme, then you will have a chance to obtain the inheritance. When that happens, I will be able to be at ease! "
"What bullshit Mount Supreme. How many times have I said it already? I said that I don't cultivate! Whoever wants this shitty key can have it, but laozi doesn't want it! "
Slap.
He forcefully threw the key out of the window. When the Old City Lord saw this scene, he raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
"Unfilial son!"
The angry slap caused blood to flow out of the corner of Qiu Yuan's mouth. At the same time, the old city lord also felt a bit of regret.
But that's the key to open Mount Supreme. How could he just throw it away like that?
The key has its own consciousness. Even though the city lord manor is still outside the window, the key might not be lying there waiting for you to pick it up.
