Ruan Qiao chuckled, her almond-shaped eyes curved: "Not much, not much!"

She turned around and walked towards a chair nearby.

"Meow!" The black cat also called out twice and followed Ruan Qiao.

Chu Shiyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Mr. Chu Sanye's face was as dark as a disaster. He stared at the black cat angrily, thinking that this white-eyed cat was a perfect match for Ruan Qiao.

Humph, he doesn't want this white-eyed cat anymore. He'll get a big, white one when he gets home!

Ruan Qiao sat on the chair with her eyes blurred, a black cat curled up at her feet.

Wei Zixuan showed a disdainful sneer at the corner of his lips.

She said to Si Yan, "Lead the way, we're going to the base now."

She looked at Chu Shiyu again and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Shiyu didn't even look at her, but asked Ruan Qiao with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, when are we going in?"

Ruan Qiao took out the box from her arms, shook it at him, and said, "Now!"

She glanced at Wei Zixuan and Jiang Qi, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She stood up and looked at Si Yan.

"So the key is in your hand." Si Yan said.

"I heard from my father that there were three people in charge of this base before. Later, something happened at the base and they had to close the base, and they were scattered all over the place.

The three responsible persons each have their own responsibilities. One is called Lan Ye, she is responsible for keeping the key. Another is the ancestor of the Si family, he is responsible for guarding the base. There is another one, who is said to be missing. His identity has not been mentioned by the elders.

Ruan Qiao finally developed a strong curiosity about this base. She said, "Actually, Lan Ye gave the key to the Hua family, and it was Grandpa Hua who gave it to me."

Si Yan nodded. "No matter what, the key will eventually belong to you."

Jiang Qi's eyes were cold.

Hua Zichen also looked at the box and smacked his lips in surprise. "I really didn't know we had this thing at home."

Ruan Qiao couldn't help but smile.

Si Yan looked up and glanced at everyone. He said, "Reserve, let's go. However, the base will automatically screen the candidates who enter. Not everyone is eligible to enter, and I'm not very clear about the screening criteria."

He turned and led the way.

Si Si raised his foot and walked in front with him.

Si Si was silent for a while.

Si Yan glanced at his sister and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Si Si pursed his lips and said, "Brother, why don't we sell the tavern to Brother Jiang?"

Secretly, she wanted to sell the tavern to Jiang Qi.

At the beginning, Jiang Qi's car broke down when passing through Luan Town. It was New Year's Eve and all the hotels in the town were closed. Jiang Qi had no place to stay, so he finally knocked on the door of the only tavern that was still open.

The tavern at the time was facing the situation of going out of business, and the brother and sister were living in such poverty that they could barely make ends meet.

It was Jiang Qi who helped them.

The three of them had a very happy and lively New Year's Eve.

A few days later, Jiang Qi came to Luan Town again and stayed in their tavern.

After a few visits, they became familiar with each other.

The young girl Si Si is in love for the first time and secretly falls in love with Jiang Qi.

Si Yan glanced at his sister and said, "Sisi, don't you see? Only when the tavern is handed over to Mr. Chu will no one dare to take over. Although Dad didn't say it when he passed away, I can see that he still hoped that this place could be preserved intact."

"I understand." Si Si looked gloomy.

They crossed the small courtyard behind the tavern and came to the main hall where private residences were located.

The main hall is very old, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs from over a hundred years ago, with potholes and holes left by time.

Si Yan walked to the front, moved the eight-immortal table away, pressed a protrusion on the wall, and a one-meter square underground entrance suddenly popped up on the ground.

There are steps inside.

The Si brothers and sisters led the way in front. Si Yan turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked down first.

At this moment, a strong light came on, illuminating the entire underground entrance as bright as day.

Si Yan looked back in surprise and saw that the person behind Chu Shiyu was holding a delicate flashlight.

Tianlong glanced at Si Yan.

Si Yan withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

"Hey, this underground passage is so clean. Si Yan, do you clean it often?" Ruan Qiao asked.

Si Yan nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we are at home, Sisi and I will come down to clean it every day."

After about ten meters down, we finally reached the end.

Unlike the plain and old base above, the base below is very exquisitely built.

A long corridor first appeared in front of me. There were deuterium lamps hanging on both sides of the corridor. Even without a flashlight, it was still very bright.

There is a big door right in front of the corridor.

Si Yan looked at the tightly closed door and said, "This is the end. If you want to go in, you need a key."

He looked at Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao looked at the box in her hand, then at the smooth door.

She was slightly stunned. The door was so flat, how could she use the box?

She held the box close to the gate and shook it in front of it, but the gate did not respond.

Thirteen stepped forward and said, "Miss Ruan, let me do it."

She took the box from Ruan Qiao and walked towards the door.

She tried several times, but the door still wouldn't open.

Ruan Qiao watched silently, but was a little distracted.

She was thinking, even if Jiang Qi had discovered this door, he couldn't open it, so how did he know there were fragments inside?

There is even a legacy.

At the same time, Jiang Qi was also distracted.

Because that familiar voice sounded in his mind again.

"Young man, you're here again!"

The sound was a rich electronic sound.

Jiang Qi's eyes flashed with excitement, "Yes, senior, I kept my promise and came back. According to the information you provided, I found the key, but someone got there first."

"It doesn't matter, no matter who gets the key, I will choose you in the end!"

The electronic voice said again.

Jiang Qi's eyes lit up. He stared at the door and said, "Senior, how do we open the door?"

"That box has the instructions for opening the gate. Hold the box and I'll guide you."

Jiang Qi responded in his heart, then took a step forward and said, "Let me try."

A gleam of light flashed in Ruan Qiao's eyes.

She suspected that Jiang Qi could communicate with something inside the gate.

"You're right."

In her mind, the system suddenly sounded.

Ruan Qiao quickly asked, "How do I open the door?"

“The box has six sides, and each side has a number. You need to look carefully to figure it out. This is the code.

Look at this gate again. It looks flat.

There are dark patterns on it, and you need to carefully identify them."

Ruan Qiao took out a magnifying glass from her bag and was about to take the box to study it carefully.

But at this moment, Jiang Qi said coldly: "Ruan Qiao, I have a way to open the box. You'd better not waste everyone's time and hand the box to me!"
