The Qin Clan's gate was even more imposing than Qinchuan had imagined.
Qinchuan stood in front of the gate and looked at the red gate that was ten meters tall and thirty meters wide. He sighed and said, "In this era, it's rare to see such a wooden gate."
Nowadays, the development of technology was changing with each passing day. All kinds of alloy doors and intelligent doors were emerging endlessly. Wooden doors like the one in the Qin family's house were already extremely rare. They basically existed in museums or tourist attractions. They were all treasured for fear of the slightest damage. How could they be used casually like the one in the Qin family's house?
"This is a symbol of heritage."
Ning Ya looked at the gate in front of her and said to Qinchuan, "Among the Four Great Clans, only the Qin Clan has such a gate that has been passed down for ten thousand years. It's not easy for it to be preserved until now."
"Are we here to admire this gate?" Qinchuan looked at Ning Ya and said, "Teacher, I feel that you have some resentment towards this gate."
"In the past, your mother and I were good friends, and we would occasionally visit the Qin Clan. At that time, my favorite part of the Qin Clan was this gate, and I even thought of stealing it and bringing it back to the Black Moon Combat Academy. Now that I've revisited it, I can't help but sigh."
Ning Ya smiled and knocked on the bronze ring on the gate.
With a low sound, the red gate of the Qin Clan slowly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe walked out. He respectfully said to Ning Ya, "Miss Ning, Sir Qin, please follow me. The Patriarch is already waiting for you."
Ning Ya and Qinchuan followed behind the housekeeper and entered the Qin Clan's gate. Looking at the bluestone paved ground and the antique architecture, Qinchuan couldn't help but feel as if he had traveled back in time.
"Young Master Qin, the Qin Clan has been here since the beginning of Star Dragon City. Since ancient times, the Qin Clan has always maintained its current appearance. There are almost no changes. Everything is the most charming and stylish."
The housekeeper seemed to have seen through Qinchuan's surprise, so he smiled and introduced the Qin Clan's situation to the Qin Clan.
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Qinchuan sighed with emotion. "As expected of the Qin family."
It wasn't difficult to imitate an ancient manor, but it was too difficult to preserve an ancient manor until now.
Just from this point alone, the Qin family was unmatched in the entire Star Dragon Federation.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Qinchuan and Ning Ya admired the scenery along the way as they walked towards the Qin family's reception hall. After more than ten minutes of walking, the three of them finally arrived at the Qin family's reception hall and saw Qin Yiming.
Seeing Qin Yiming again, Qinchuan's mood was more complicated than before. In terms of blood relationship, Qin Yiming was his uncle. But in terms of feelings, he didn't agree with Qin Yiming. He even hated Qin Yiming because it was Qin Yiming who expelled his mother from the Qin family. If not, his mother wouldn't have died.
Qin Yiming sat on a chair and looked at Qinchuan. His eyes were unexpectedly calm as he said indifferently, "Please take a seat."
Ning Ya and Qinchuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly sat down. Ning Ya looked at Qin Yiming with a subtle expression and said, "Back then, it was very difficult for me to enter your Qin family's reception hall to play. There were always people worried that I would break your Qin family's antiques."
"Hehe, what happened back then was my fault. But you also snuck in to play a lot."
Speaking of the past, Qin Yiming's expression became slightly subtle, as if he didn't want to talk about the past too much.
"Let's not talk about the past. I just want to ask Patriarch Qin, why did your Qin family want Qinchuan to represent your Qin family to enter the Unfettered Secret Realm?"
Ning Ya looked at Qin Yiming with a slightly curious expression and said, "If you can't explain it clearly, I don't mind paying Uncle Qin another visit."
"I'll naturally explain it to you clearly. My father has already re-entered seclusion and won't be coming out for a while."
Qin Yiming smiled, then looked at Qinchuan and said solemnly, "Our Qin family needs you to enter the Unfettered Secret Realm and bring out an item."
Qinchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What item?"
"I don't know." Qin Yiming shook his head.
"You don't know?" Ning Ya sneered, "Just now you said that you would explain it clearly. Now you don't know?
Is it because you don't know, or is it inconvenient to explain too clearly? "
"I really don't know. All I know is the use of that item."
Qin Yiming didn't care about Ning Ya's attitude and explained seriously, "That should be a key placed in a very safe place. What our Qin family wants is this key. The rest of the items obtained in the secret realm are yours. We won't ask for them."
"Key?"
Qinchuan frowned slightly, "Isn't this a bit too general? The Unfettered Secret Realm is extremely vast, and each time it opens, it only opens for two months. I can't spend all my time looking for the key."
His main purpose of entering the Unfettered Secret Realm was to seek opportunities, not to work for the Qin family to find the key.
Without a specific location, and without a specific image, who knew where the key was and what kind of strange appearance it looked like? What was the difference between looking for a needle in a haystack just like that?
"In the Unfettered Secret Realm, the places with the most opportunities are none other than Unfettered Palace, Zijin Palace, and Colorful Glazed Mansion. You only need to follow the main group to these three places to search. If you can't find the key I need in these three places, it doesn't matter."
Hearing Qin Yiming's request, Ning Ya couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unfettered Palace, Zijin Palace, and Colorful Glazed Mansion were all opportunities in the Unfettered Secret Realm that had almost been explored. If there was really a key hidden in them, it should have been discovered long ago.
"The safe places you're talking about, don't tell me you're referring to Unfettered Palace's Unfettered Residence, Zijin Palace's Treasure Pavilion, and Colorful Glazed Mansion's Glazed Pagoda?"
"Hehe, among Unfettered Palace, Zijin Palace, and Colorful Glazed Mansion, are there any safer places than these three places you're talking about?"
"You're asking Qinchuan to die!"
Ning Ya's face was cold. If these three places weren't dangerous, they wouldn't have remained unbroken by people until now!
"Don't worry, I won't ask Qinchuan to die. If no one can break the restrictions of these three places, Qinchuan naturally doesn't have to take the risk. But if someone breaks the restrictions, then Qinchuan must obtain the key. What do you think of this agreement?"
Ning Ya looked at Qin Yiming suspiciously. Her instinct told her that Qin Yiming wouldn't be so kind. What made her most curious was, what kind of key did the Qin family want?
