Du Keyi took Zhou Jianlai to Tan Xizhi's training cave. After a few simple whispers, Tan Xizhi imposed isolation restrictions.
"What are you two doing, so mysterious?" Tan Xizhi looked at the two of them and asked curiously.
"Senior sister, I lost a jade bracelet." Du Keyi said accordingly.
Zhou Jianlai added: "Blue."
"What do you mean? Has it been stolen by someone? The jade bracelet is very precious?" Tan Xizhi asked in confusion.
"Well, it's very precious." Du Keyi nodded, holding the jade beads, and looked at Zhou Jianlai inquiringly, meaning to ask if he could show the jade beads to the senior sister.
Zhou Jianlai nodded, then frowned in thought.
Du Keyi's action told him that even if he didn't remind him, Du Keyi knew that Yuzhu could not be shown to others at will.
When he gave the jade bracelet to Du Keyi, he also specifically told him not to show the efficacy of the jade bracelet to others, but Du Keyi solemnly nodded in agreement and promised not to tell others.
In other words, Du Keyi should not give the jade bracelet to Master Xiangyang Saint Ancestor.
But I'm not entirely sure.
Tan Xizhi took the jade bead from Dukeyi's hand and was immediately shocked by its powerful effect.
He handed the jade beads back to Du Keyi with some reluctance, and then exclaimed: "I heard someone say a few days ago that the Guowei Mansion in the Imperial Capital of Suzhou sells treasures with such effects, which are so expensive that they can even cost one thousand, two hundred stars.
Dan, it seems the rumors are true."
Zhou Jianlai nodded and said: "When Keyi and I come back from visiting relatives, we will bring one to Senior Sister."
"No, I'm very poor and can't afford it." Tan Xizhi waved her hands quickly.
"How dare you accept Senior Sister's money? The two of us gave it to you filial piety. Thank you for taking care of and nurturing Keyi. Thank you for your kindness in saving me in the ring."
Hearing this, Tan Xizhi smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't charge money. We won't refuse anyone who comes."
Then he frowned, turned back to the topic, looked at Du Keyi and asked: "Are you saying that the blue jade bracelet you lost is also a treasure with such effects?"
"Yes." Du Keyi nodded, "But I don't think I can lose such a treasure unless I give it to someone on my own initiative or it is stolen by someone."
"When I gave the jade bracelet to you, I specifically told you that you would not be allowed to show its effects in front of others, nor would you give it to anyone else. You nodded and agreed." Zhou Jianlai said.
"I'm sorry..." One could assume that Zhou Jianlai was blaming her.
Zhou Jianlai waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you. I just want to ask you, after I told you and you nodded in agreement, will you still give away the jade bracelet?"
"Probably not." Du Keyi shook his head.
Tan Xizhi waved her hand and said with certainty: "I watched Keyi grow up, and I know her character. Since she promised you, she will never give away the jade bracelet."
Zhou Jianlai got the affirmative answer, frowned and remained silent.
"Boy, do you know something?" Tan Xizhi asked doubtfully after seeing Zhou Jianlai's expression.
"I don't know if I should say something or not?"
"If there's anything you shouldn't say, just say it." Tan Xizhi said.
"I'm afraid if I say it, I will offend my elders, and I'm afraid that you two will hit me." Zhou Jianlai said something ugly beforehand, so that the two of them could be mentally prepared.
"Momo chirp, tell me quickly." Tan Xizhi said impatiently.
"When I paid my respects to the Holy Ancestor just now, I saw that the Holy Ancestor was wearing a blue jade bracelet on his right wrist."
"Shut up!" Tan Xizhi was furious when he heard this.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Jianlai immediately ducked behind Du Keyi and shouted before Tan Xizhi could show off his power: "As promised, don't do anything!"
"..." Tan Xizhi's breath was stuck in her throat, and she could only hold it back and said with a cold face: "You mean the Holy Ancestor stole Keyi's jade bracelet?"
"Well, you said it, I didn't." Zhou Jianlai said to clarify the relationship.
"Humph, that's what you mean." Tan Xizhi snorted coldly.
"I didn't say it anyway." Zhou Jianlai refused to admit it.
Du Keyi was sandwiched between the two of them and was amused by their words.
Tan Xizhi glared at Zhou Jianlai again, then frowned and fell silent.
Zhou Jianlai and Du Keyi also kept silent.
In fact, the three of them were thinking about a question. If the bracelet on the wrist of Saint Ancestor Xiangyang was really the one that everyone could rely on, how did he get it?
Stolen?
Robbed?
Thinking further, could Du Keyi's amnesia be related to this bracelet?
"Maybe I'm just blind, it's just a bit similar." Zhou Jianlai was the first to speak to break the silence.
There will be no answer to this question unless they go to Saint Ancestor Xiangyang to confirm it face to face.
However, no matter what the result was when he questioned a saint in person about stealing or robbing something, Zhou Jianlai felt that he would not get any good results.
So he thought that it would be enough to give Du Keyi and Tan Xizhi a little warning, and it was not necessary or possible to find the final answer.
But he didn't know that Tan Xizhi and Du Keyi had another thing on their mind, which was far more important than what he thought.
The two of them believed that Saint Ancestor Xiangyang would definitely not steal the treasures from his disciples, but if Saint Ancestor Xiangyang was not Saint Ancestor Xiangyang, it would be hard to say.
"I'm going to Xiangyang Peak. You two are waiting here." Tan Xizhi suddenly said.
"Senior sister..." Du Keyi looked worried and reached out to grab Tan Xizhi's arm.
Zhou Jianlai was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Tan Xizhi was going to confront Saint Ancestor Xiangyang. He quickly waved his hands with a grimace and said: "No, no, no, no, you must not go. If you go, no matter what the outcome is, I am afraid that my head will be damaged."
I can’t even save it.”
"Don't worry, I'm just taking a look and won't talk about the bracelet." Tan Xizhi reassured Zhou Jianlai and patted Du Keyi's hand.
Watching Tan Xizhi leave, Zhou Jianlai regretted and said: "If I had known, I would have kept it in my heart and not said it."
"It's all my fault for not taking good care of the bracelet." Du Keyi blamed himself.
"If you lose the bracelet, you just lose it. There is no need to take it personally." Zhou Jianlai consoled him.
"Such an expensive bracelet..." Du Keyi thought of the powerful effect of the bracelet and couldn't help but feel heartbroken and couldn't let go.
"Actually, it's not as valuable as you think... You'll know later." Zhou Jianlai wanted Du Keyi to be more open-minded, but he couldn't explain the origin of the bracelet clearly, so he looked around and changed the subject: "Senior Sister
This training cave is really big. The sect master gave me a cave, which is not even half as big as this one."
"Just be content." Du Keyi gave Zhou Jianlai a look that said, "Don't be a good boy even if you get the advantage." He muttered, "I still don't have a separate training cave."
"Ah? Why? Haven't you been promoted to core disciple long ago?" Zhou Jianlai asked in surprise.
"What's the use of core disciples? Only those who have made great contributions to the sect are qualified to have a separate training cave."
"Then where do you usually practice?" Only then did Zhou Jianlai realize how much Liu Feihua took care of him.
"In the collective cave."
"Group cave?" Zhou Jianlai imagined a bunch of people practicing in a cave in his mind.
"Many people practice in the same cave, but each one has a separate stone room." Du Keyi explained.
"Ask the Tian Sect is so big, why don't they open up more caves to improve the treatment of the disciples within the sect?"
The Yunling Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles and have countless peaks. There is no problem in digging ten or eight caves on one mountain. Zhou Jianlai didn't understand why the Wentian Sect was so stingy.
