The moment this sentence came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed to suffocate!
The fat face of the little fat boy who was swinging his thighs beside him suddenly became tearful, and the whole person was a little dazed, as if he had never expected such a thing to happen suddenly! !
His elder sister actually asked this question directly!
"Oh my! It's over! How could this happen? I didn't leak a word! How did my elder sister know? Is this why she called my eldest brother? It's over!"
The little fat boy covered his fat face with one hand, wailing in his heart!
Thinking of how he had just sworn in front of Ye Wuque that everything was fine and he would handle everything, and his elder sister didn't notice it at all, and now...
啪啪啪!
The slap in the face came so quickly! !
In a trance, the little fat boy seemed to feel the sharp and terrifying eyes from Ye Wuque that were more dazzling than the sunlight! !
"It's over..."
The little fat boy could only cover his face!
However, Ye Wuque didn't look at the little fat man at all. He still stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm. Even if the noble woman in the curtain suddenly took out the gray key, he didn't lose his composure.
Instead, Ye Wuque carefully looked at the gray key held by the slender jade hand!
It can be confirmed!
The gray key in the noble woman's hand is exactly the same as the pattern on the woodcut that he saw at the little fat man's place before!
Similarly!
It is also... exactly the same as the gray ancient key left by his father and Uncle Fu!
The only difference is the size! !
His gray ancient key is about one finger long, while the gray key in the noble woman's hand is only about half the size of a finger, half the size!
At first glance, it seems like a smaller version, very strange!
However, although Ye Wuque looks extremely calm at this moment, his heart is... not calm! !
Because at this moment he could clearly sense the sudden movement of the gray ancient key from the Yuanyang Ring!
The movement of the gray ancient key was very strange!
It seemed to be full of desire and a faint helplessness, as if it had a spirit, making it hard to grasp!
Only with such close contact can this perception appear?
But for Ye Wuque, he understood that no matter what, he must get the gray key in the finger of the noble woman in front of him!
All this seemed long, but in fact it was just a moment!
"Miss is really smart and can guess that I want this key."
Ye Wuque's voice sounded, and he did not deny it, but admitted it openly.
Inside the curtain, there seemed to be a pair of beautiful eyes flashing gently!
Soon the noble woman's voice with a faint smile sounded again: "I know Gong Qiu too well. He has borrowed this key out of curiosity in the past, and even spent a lot of time studying it, hoping to discover some secrets. Later, he threw the key back to me, and obviously the result disappointed him."
"Since then, Gong Qiu has never had any interest in this key, but this time he sneaked out and invited you, Mr. Ye, back, and then he has been whispering to you these few days, trying to borrow the key again. How could I not see such a sudden and drastic change?"
"And I think the only one who can make Gong Qiu have this kind of change is you, Mr. Ye, who was invited back by him."
The noble woman said slowly, but there was a faint certainty in her tone.
The fat man on the side suddenly looked bitter when he heard this. He covered his fat face with his hands, but his big round eyes still showed through his fingers. He muttered to the noble woman behind the curtain in frustration: "Sister, is it so obvious? I think I did it very secretly!"
"What do you think?"
The noble woman said to the fat man with a smile through the curtain.
The fat man didn't dare to look anymore! Ye
Wuque, who saw all this, was completely speechless at the moment!
This fat man, he really can't be trusted, too unreliable!
However, Ye Wuque also understood that this noble woman is not simple. Just this meticulous observation and eyesight are enough to prove how powerful this woman is!
"Oh, sister! Anyway, this thing is of no use to you, and it's not a treasure. Besides, this is one of the conditions that my brother agreed to let me come here. Just give it to him and it's done!"
Seeing that the matter was finally exposed, the little fat man was straightforward and no longer hid it. He said to the noble woman, as if he would make trouble if you didn't give it to me.
"Did I say I wouldn't give it to you?"
The noble woman asked the little fat man in this way behind the curtain, and the little fat man immediately showed a cute but speechless expression?
"But before that, my curiosity needs to be satisfied. After all, this thing has been with me for a long time, and it also has some important meaning to me. If I don't figure it out, I will be very unwilling..."
The slender jade hand that stretched out the curtain slowly retracted at this moment, and the gray key disappeared again.
"So, can Mr. Ye solve my doubts for me?" The
noble woman's eyes seemed to focus on Ye Wuque again, and she said this.
Ye Wuque, who was standing with his hands behind his back, was relieved when he heard the noble woman's question again! What
he was sure of was that his gray ancient key had a strange reaction to the gray key in the noble woman's hand, but in turn, the noble woman's key did not react to his gray ancient key!
Otherwise, the other party would definitely not have such an attitude!
"Since the lady wants to know, Ye will naturally tell you everything I know, but to be honest, I don't know exactly what this thing is."
Ye Wuque said lightly.
Behind the curtain, the noble woman did not speak after hearing this, but just continued to look at Ye Wuque. Obviously, she was not satisfied with this answer.
"I remember it very clearly. About three years ago, I fought with an enemy for a long time and ended up both of us injured. When I came to my senses, I realized that I had fallen into a thick fog that I couldn't see my fingers. I was unwilling to give up and searched everywhere, hoping to find a way out. When I was almost on the verge of life and death, I felt like I stepped on something. Before I could see clearly, a void crack suddenly appeared in front of me and swallowed me up."
"I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that the other end of the void crack seemed to be connected to a strange cave. I entered it with the determination to die, but I didn't expect it to be a legacy left by a predecessor."
"I went through a lot of tests inside, and I survived a near-death experience. I gained a lot of benefits, and gradually realized that there seemed to be a greatest opportunity in the cave. Unwilling to give up, I continued to explore. After spending at least three months, I finally found the place where this greatest opportunity was..."
Speaking of this, Ye Wuque frowned slightly, with a helpless and unwilling look in his eyes, and then he said: "But when I entered there, I found an ancient stone platform, but on the stone platform... there was nothing!"
"Only on the wall at the end of the stone platform did I see an extremely ancient carving, and it was painted with the same gray key in the lady's hand, exactly the same."
"I turned it over countless times and finally confirmed that the things on the stone platform had been taken away. Fortunately, I finally found a way out of the strange cave. After escaping, I was still worried. After all, maybe some kind of opportunity passed me by. So, I remember the pattern of this key clearly. I thought I would never see it in my life, until I saw a woodcut at Chu Gongqiu's place..."
Ye Wuque told such a story exactly. There is no need to say more about the rest of the content. I believe that the noble woman behind the curtain will definitely understand.
When the fat man on the side heard this, he suddenly let out a strange cry and said, "I said it! This key must not be an ordinary thing. It turns out that there is such a story hidden in it! Brother, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Ye Wuque didn't even look at the fat man, and his bright eyes were still staring at the vague figure of the woman behind the curtain.
Only Ye Wuque himself knew that what he said just now was simply... nonsense! !
But this is the most reliable statement!
