Chapter 10: A Step Late

On this day, a man in a brocade robe suddenly came to the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, saying that he was the manager of the Xiao Mansion and came to discuss things with President Yan.

Yan Ziyun received him, but she heard him say that the Xiao Mansion wanted to increase the trading volume with the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, the Xiao Mansion had newly arrived with some rare items, so she was specially invited to go to the Xiao Mansion to discuss.

Yan Ziyun did not doubt him, so she followed the man to Xiao Mansion.

Almost as soon as she walked out of the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, another man in a black robe flashed into the Chamber of Commerce, and it was Steward Wang who received him.

This person was the person Xiao Lian arranged to get the treasure chest, and the two of them walked all the way to the fifth floor, which is where the storage room is located.

There are two middle-aged people guarding the entrance of the fifth floor, and the two of them give people a majestic mountain momentum at this station, and it can be seen that the cultivation of the two must be extremely profound.

Steward Wang greeted the two with a smile, and then said, "Two brothers, this customer has come to pick up the items he has stored. ”

The two guards glanced at each other, then took out a record book, carefully checked the jade plate as a token against the exchange code reported by the black-robed man, nodded and let the two of them enter the fifth floor.

Entering the fifth floor, next to it is a hall, which is usually a place for guests to wait and rest, but Steward Wang did not let the black-robed man wait here, but quietly let him follow him into a passage on the other side wall of the hall.

Walking in front of the passage, at a glance, there are doors installed on the side walls of the passage, and the top of the passage is densely engraved with countless symbols, faintly exuding a strange luster, Steward Wang looked at these symbols and said to the black-robed man: "Butler Liu De, do you know what this is?"

"I heard that the Yan family is wealthy, but today it is really an eye-opener, this rune is the master's handwriting at a glance, as for what it does, I can't see the frog at the bottom of the well", Steward Liu was secretly shocked in his heart, each rune is a powerful attack or defense, and it can be sold for a high price outside, and this long passage is all over the place, which makes him have to sigh that the strength of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed worthy of its reputation.

"This is a master's handwriting, every rune is a strong lightning bolt, these lightning bolts in this passage are enough to resist any danger, the young master that the second lady fancies is a rune seal master, he is only in his forties!"

Liu De nodded in agreement, and said a few words of praise, but there was some contempt in his heart, this second lady of the Yan family is only less than twenty years old, but she is going to marry someone who is close to fifty, even if the life span of a cultivator will generally be extended for some time, but this age gap is still very rare.

While the two were talking, Steward Wang had stopped in front of a door in the passage, this door was slightly thick, using an extremely difficult to find material, which could rebound the attack power to a certain extent, if someone who didn't understand forcibly opened it, he would definitely suffer a dark loss.

The steward took out a strangely shaped key, inserted it into the only small hole in the door, and with a slight thud, the door opened. There are jade chests of different sizes displayed inside. Steward Wang took the jade plaque from Liu De's hand and inserted it into a jade box, and the jade box was opened.

"Here's what we're going to use for that treasure chest in a moment, so you take it first. Steward Wang smiled proudly, "Fortunately, I left a hand early, otherwise it would be difficult to come in, after all, those two gatekeepers only recognize jade cards and do not recognize people, and even I can't enter and exit at will." ”

After getting the box, the two of them quickly exited the room and returned to the passage, and the king steward walked straight to the deepest part of the passage.

"The further you go into the inner room, the more precious the things you preserve, and the stronger the runes in the passages inside, and when you encounter someone who violently breaks down the door, those runes will automatically attack. Steward Wang explained while his steps did not stop.

Walking to the last door, Liu De found that this door was very strange, because he didn't see the keyhole, but there was a shallow groove in the middle of the door.

"All that are kept here are some well-known loose cultivation things, or the belongings of some people in some big families, and they don't want the rest of the family to find out, so they exist here. It can be said that everything here is of great value!" Steward Wang continued, "I was not qualified to enter this house, and these things must be opened by the eldest lady herself before they can be taken out." ”

Steward Wang said while taking out a small jade pendant, this jade pendant exudes a colorful and hazy light, carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and the back is written with the word "Yan", the whole jade pendant is very exquisite.

"That's the key to this door. This key is specially made by the Yan family for various storage rooms, and each branch president only has one piece, which is used for this most important room, and each president of this jade pendant never leaves him. ”

Steward Wang had another sinister smile on his face: "Although each president is in a different place, these keys are exactly the same, presumably when they were first made, they would not have thought that one day they would become a loophole that could be exploited." ”

Then he changed his words: "It took a lot of trouble for this second lady to give me, the family has rules that you can't leave, and the family can also sense this." It took a lot of effort for the young lady to find a way to shield the senses, and then she gave it to me. ”

Liu De naturally knew that he brought himself here and the purpose of saying these words, so he nodded and said: "Steward Wang, rest assured, when the matter is completed, the Xiao family will definitely do their best to publicize Yan Ziyun's loss of the entrusted thing, and at the same time, the Xiao family will also cooperate with you to insist that our very precious things are lost here." ”

Steward Wang nodded in satisfaction, and then placed the jade pendant in the recess in the center of the front door. In an instant, this piece of jade burst out with brilliant light, coupled with the brilliance of the mysterious rune seal above the passage, reflecting this piece of passage like a dream.

The two of them didn't have time to care about this, so they hurriedly pushed the door in. The room was still full of jade boxes of different sizes, but looking at the material, it was obvious that it was much better than the jade box in the previous room. And the walls and above of this room are also painted with talismans, which is dense enough to see that the Yan family attaches great importance to this.

Walking to a jade box at the end, Steward Wang stopped and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the jade box containing the things left by Xiao Qing, and these boxes also need jade pendants to open." Then he sighed again, "If I had taken it out directly, I wouldn't have bothered so much now." ”

He took the jade pendant in his hand again and inserted it into a gap in the jade box, and with a "click", the jade box automatically cracked a gap.

Steward Wang lifted the lid of the jade box along this gap, and just as he said that he wanted Liu De to open the box that had just been prepared, the next moment, he stood on the spot.

The jade box in front of me was empty!
