Chapter 16 The Reason

Hearing the loneliness in the old man's tone, Shi Qingyun didn't know what to say to comfort him for a moment.

Besides, he felt that it was nothing. After all, he had been protected by the old man and had gotten through the most difficult times over the years. Compared to this, other things were not so important.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, Shi Qingyun never thought that he would be able to get through it smoothly. He had to face various crises and participate in the game between various forces, which were unavoidable.

After the old man chattered for a while, he seemed to have just noticed Shi Qingyun, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "But it's a good thing to have talent. Only when you are strong can you control your own destiny!"

As he spoke, he patted Shi Qingyun on the shoulder. Shi Qingyun nodded in agreement with the old man's words.

The old man saw Shi Qingyun was hesitant to speak, and said to him with a smile: "I know your grandfather, so you can call me grandpa!"

Shi Qingyun also took advantage of the situation and called out "Grandpa".

Then he asked his doubts: "Is there something you want to tell me today?"

But the old man said slowly: "You are famous in this Wuwang Mansion. Your talent has made some people feel uneasy, even if you have only shown a little bit!"

"If Brother Fifteen hadn't come back all these years, and he was afraid that we old guys would die together, it would not be good for anyone, and I would have been imprisoned too!"

"With the King Wu mediating in the middle, the King Wu's mansion is relatively peaceful."

"Otherwise, they would have attacked people close to us a long time ago! This is why I didn't take care of you personally, because I was afraid that you would be affected if you were too close to me!"

After hearing these words, Shi Qingyun didn't feel anything, but he felt that there was a lot of danger lurking in the Prince Wu's Mansion.

As for blaming the old man in front of him for not taking good care of him, that was even more impossible. He didn't know how much effort the old man in front of him had put in secretly so that he could live safely in the Prince Wu's Mansion.

You can tell from the fact that I was called over as soon as I was noticed.

Seeing that Shi Qingyun looked thoughtful, the old man didn't beat around the bush with Shi Qingyun and directly told him the reason why he called him over.

"The Wu Palace will participate in the exploration of Qilin Cave. This time, Shi Yi will lead the children of the Wu Palace to hunt for treasure!"

The old man's words brought Shi Qingyun back to his senses. When he heard Shi Yi's name, he was stunned at first, then nodded with some doubt.

In the past few years, we only know that a genius emerged in the Wu Palace, but Shi Yi's name has not been spread out. He must have been practicing in seclusion, but now he is involved in this Qilin Cave, and it seems that he is about to come out.

Shi Qingyun thought silently in his heart. The old man saw that Shi Qingyun didn't say a word and thought that he didn't know about the Qilin Cave, so he explained it to him.

"And this Qilin Cave is located in the Shiwan Mountains. It is full of dangers, and this Qilin Cave is in the middle of it. Legend has it that this Qilin Cave is the burial place of Qilin, one of the ten evil spirits in ancient times."

"But no one has confirmed its authenticity over the years, so you don't have to take it seriously. The main reason you enter here is because there are treasures inside that can temper your body and refine your blood."

“So the younger generation will be sent in to look for opportunities.”

Shi Qingyun knew the origin of the Qilin Cave, but he had no ability to explore whether it was the burial place of the Qilin. He was just confused about it. However, a new doubt came to Shi Qingyun's mind, but it was answered before he could say it out loud.

"As for why you were chosen, you don't need to worry about the specific circumstances. Someone recommended you to King Wu, and King Wu agreed."

"This is one of the reasons why I came to you. I was afraid that you would be ambushed by someone, so I want to give you some treasures to protect you!"

"As soon as you showed your talent, someone couldn't wait to join you in this treasure hunt. You need to be more careful."

After hearing what the old man said, Shi Qingyun understood. It seemed that someone could not hold back and was about to attack him.

But that's true. He thought that Shi Long and his gang would just endure it. It turned out that they had this idea in mind. There were people guarding the Prince Wu's Mansion, so they led them outside.

It can not only clear the relationship but also eliminate Shi Qingyun, killing two birds with one stone!

However, after hearing the second half of the old man's words, Shi Qingyun suddenly became excited and wondered what kind of treasure the old man would give him.

The old man was not vague either. With a wave of his hand, several items were lined up in a row and appeared in the air in front of Shi Qingyun.

A jade pendant, a piece of clothing, and a fan.

There was a glow in front of Shi Qingyun, who stared at these things with joy and curiosity.

Before Shi Qingyun could speak, the old man began to introduce him. With a wave of his hand, the jade pendant quickly floated to the table next to Shi Qingyun.

The old man waved his hand and the jade pendant floated into Shi Qingyun's hand.

"This jade pendant contains an attack of mine that can cause danger to the Inscription Realm. However, it only has the power of one attack, so you must use it with caution. I know that you will be in danger when you go out this time. I hope this jade pendant can save your life."

Shi Qingyun knew that the old man had no choice but to keep him and felt guilty. Shi Qingyun also felt helpless because his place was decided by King Wu himself. Who would dare to resist?
I just don't know what role King Wu plays in this process? However, Shi Qingyun guessed that King Wu probably just saw that there was another genius in King Wu's mansion, so he wanted to include him!

After all, Shi Yi is here, and in King Wu's view, the others are just taking advantage of him.

While Shi Qingyun was thinking in his mind, the old man waved his hand again, and the clothes floated over, followed by the old man's voice.

"I got this treasured robe by chance. It can resist attacks from the Spiritual Transformation Realm and can also change its form according to my will. It is a very rare treasured robe."

"As for this fan, I don't know what material it is made of. I just know that the material of this fan is very special. It seems to be made of two different materials. It is both hard and very soft."

"But it is certain that this fan is made of only one material. As for what it is and what its function is, you can only explore it yourself."

"I found it in a secret place. I originally wanted to keep it for my own research. After so many years of research, I only know this little. Besides, I don't have any use for it in my current situation, so I'll give it to you!"
