Ye Chuan stood in front of the heavy stone door and slowly inserted the bronze token in his hand into the groove in the center of the stone door. With a dull click, the token fit perfectly into the groove.
In an instant, countless rays of dark blue light burst out from the token and quickly spread to the entire surface of the stone door like a spider web.
With a low rumble, the stone door slowly opened to the sides, raising a cloud of dust. Ye Chuan narrowed his eyes, and after the dust settled, he stepped inside.
The sight before him made him gasp. It was a massive stone chamber, a hundred feet square, with a high dome and walls covered in ancient runes. In the center, a lifelike stone statue stood majestically.
Ye Chuan approached slowly, examining it carefully in the dim light. The stone statue's face was clearly defined, and the expression between its eyebrows bore a resemblance to Xie Qi's.
Then he noticed the faint traces of relief on the wall. When he looked closer, he found murals and text on it.
When he finished looking at the mural, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
All the clues point to one truth, and this truth just confirms his previous guess.
Now, he needs to come up with a perfect plan to make Xie Qi come to this place on his own initiative, so as to achieve his goal while ensuring that he will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
As for Xie Qi, he was still looking for opportunities every day. He went down the mountain with Yu Ze during the day and came back at night, but he had not encountered anything special for several days.
At this moment, Xie Qi was lying on the soft couch in the pavilion, with a kitten lying on his belly. Xie Qi stroked the kitten's fur with his right hand, muttering to himself, "What exactly is opportunity..."
Xie Qi was in a daze for a while, then sat up bored, held the kitten in front of him, and said, "You've been in Tianxuan Sect for so long, you must be one year old now."
"Meow~"
"Yu Ze is not here either. 948 went to find animal milk for you. How about I teach you how to transform?"
"Meow~"
When Xie Qi was about to teach the kitten how to transform, Ye Chuan suddenly came to visit. Hearing the sound, Xie Qi gently placed the kitten on the soft couch.
"Ye Chuan?" Xie Qi looked at the newcomer with some surprise, "Why did you come here suddenly? What's the matter?"
Ye Chuan was about to answer when a snow-white figure suddenly jumped out from the couch. The kitten showed its sharp claws and scratched at Ye Chuan's face without mercy.
With a "hiss" sound, three bright red bloodstains appeared on Ye Chuan's face.
Xie Qi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he picked up the little kitten who was still trying to attack him.
But the little guy obviously refused to give up. He struggled desperately in Xie Qi's arms, showing his half-grown teeth and growling threateningly.
"I'm so sorry." Xie Qi said to Ye Chuan apologetically while comforting the restless little guy in his arms, "This is his first time meeting a stranger, so he might have a stress reaction."
As he spoke, Xie Qi took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and threw it to Ye Chuan, "Apply this quickly, it will stop the bleeding and relieve the pain."
Xie Qi saw the kitten trying to struggle and attack Ye Chuan, so he had no choice but to take the kitten back to the room. "Wait a minute, Ye Chuan, I'll comfort him first and come over later."
Ye Chuan covered his bleeding face, not angry, but said with a worried look: "It's okay, take him to rest first. I scared him by coming here suddenly. I'll wait for you to come out here."
However, after Xie Qi turned and left, Ye Chuan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and stared at the kitten fiercely, as if he felt it was a very shameful thing to be scratched by a little kitten.
When Xie Qi carried the kitten back into the room, the kitten's fur stood on end, as if he was going to piss himself off to death in the next second.
Xie Qi quickly injected spiritual power into the kitten's body, then recited a heart-clearing spell. The kitten slowly closed its eyes and fell asleep. Only then did Xie Qi feel at ease and put it in its nest.
When Xie Qi came out of the room again, Ye Chuan was still waiting for him in the pavilion. Seeing that the bleeding on his face had stopped and there was only a shallow scar, Xie Qi said, "I'm really sorry. Take this medicine back and apply it for three days. I guarantee that your face will be as good as new."
Ye Chuan smiled hypocritically: "It's okay, no need to apologize, I came here today because I want your help with something."
Xie Qi: "Tell me what it is, I will definitely help if I can."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You also know that disciples of the Tianxuan Sect cannot leave the mountain at will. I have been under close scrutiny by the Sect Leader recently, and I cannot leave the mountain at all. But can't you leave the mountain at will?"
Xie Qi: "Do you want me to go down the mountain and bring you something? What?"
Ye Chuan was even more embarrassed at this moment. He kept spinning his fingers and said, "It's not something very important. Can you bring me a pot of wine?"
Xie Qi laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then jokingly said, "Ye Chuan, aren't you fasting? Why are you suddenly craving..."
Ye Chuan smiled awkwardly and stammered, "I... I was reading a book a few days ago when I suddenly saw the delicious wine and food described in the book. Even though I'm already fasting, the more I think about it, the more I want to drink. It's been a long time since I last tasted wine."
However, it was not what he said. He just needed a legitimate excuse to find Xie Qi. Originally, he wanted to use cultivation as an excuse, but he later felt that any excuse of asking for advice on cultivation would not work.
Because his master is the head of the sect, why would he ask Xie Qi instead of the head of the sect when he has a problem? If something goes wrong, he will be the most suspected.
After listening to Ye Chuan's explanation, Xie Qi said readily, "Okay, I'll bring it to you next time I come back. If there are other delicious foods, I'll bring you some more."
