Seeing Xu Yanjue talking about the key with a serious face, Ruan Qiao's first idea was to be a golden key that was inlaid with gems that could be called treasures.

It’s not that Ruan Qiao thinks so, but mainly because Xu Yanjue’s expression is too serious.

Looking around, she could still see some uncovered rust. She raised her eyebrows lightly, and saw that Xu Yanjue had no words when he said this, and she couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What key?"

Xu Yanjue lowered his eyes and took a sip of the juice, but shook his head, "I don't know."

As he was talking, he noticed that a friend was calling him not far away, and he shouted and jumped in the crowd, as if he would rush over if he couldn't go over.

Shaking his head helplessly, he stood up and smiled apologetically at Ruan Qiao, "My friend told me to go there first, do you want to go with me?"

Knowing that Xu Yanjue meant to help him get to know the people in this scene, Ruan Qiao thought about it and thought it was important to go to Old Man Xu, not to mention that she did not plan to stay in this scene for a long time, so she politely declined.

Xu Yanjue spread his hands and left with some regret.

When he walked into the crowd, Ruan Qiao stood up and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he walked directly to the iron gate not far away.

She didn't forget the purpose of coming here, and thousands of steps can't be climbed in vain.

This iron gate looked ragged, but as soon as Ruan Qiao walked in, she was surprised to find that the sound insulation here was very good. The deafening sound suddenly disappeared, which made people feel like they were a different life.

Looking back at the still lively behind her, she resolutely walked forward in front of the quiet. With the faint dim light on the wall, she clearly saw countless interlaced water pipes beside her. No one cleaned the water pipes, and a lot of dirt had been accumulated. A slight sound of water could be heard. Ruan Qiao could still feel the vibration of the water flowing when she covered it with her fingers.

I didn't walk far and met a man who was standing in front of her, looking down at her condescendingly.

She also looked up at the man who suddenly blocked the way.

It seemed that it was not a big deal to keep watching like this. The man finally spoke, frowned tightly. From his perspective, he could not see the barcode on Ruan Qiao's neck, "It cannot be passed here."

"Why?" Ruan Qiao turned sideways innocently, wanting to see behind the man.

The man took a step toward her bent down, blocking her view while frowning tightly, "There is Lord Mao Yan's residence in front of him."

Did you walk to Mao Yan’s residence? Ruan Qiao nodded, scratched her head apologetically, and looked at the man naively, "Can't you go there?"

"Can't go." The man frowned, "Are you new?"

Ruan Qiao nodded and deliberately turned her neck so that the man could see the barcode on his neck, "I am the master of this new scene."

When he heard that Ruan Qiao was the master, his expression immediately softened a little. Although his brows were still frowning, there was less indifference in his eyes. "Mr. Mao Yan's residence is guarding things, and no one else can get close to him except for her and the people she allows."

As he said that, the man looked behind him with some embarrassment, and his voice lowered a little, "But what are you doing here? If you are attending a banquet, you don't need to come here."

Yu Guang swept the barcode of the owner on the man's neck. Ruan Qiao smiled and looked up at the top, "I just heard that there is a layer on it, so I'm curious and want to come and take a look."

The man looked at the dim light above and suddenly said, "The top floor? There is actually nothing there, but there are many curious people." He used to pull the corners of his mouth and pointed behind Ruan Qiao, "The most special thing above... you can tell if you go up and take a look. It's not interesting. That's the passage that goes up."

Ruan Qiao looked behind him in the direction he pointed.

The man thought about it and added another sentence, "But there is an old man with a weird temper on it, just leave him alone. That guy has been in this scene for a long time, and no one knows when he was here."

This old man should be the old man Fang Jinli mentioned. Ruan Qiao nodded to the man gratefully, thanked him and returned the same way.

The road afterwards turned out to be a staircase. The staircase under Ruan Qiao's feet was already rusty, and every step he took would make a terrifying sound. The handrails on both sides could almost be flicked with their fingernails and could drop countless rust, and at the same time they exuded a decay smell.

She looked downward and the darkness made her feel that once the stairs broke, they might fall and even bones would not be left.

Now the hustle and bustle were completely away from him. Ruan Qiao accelerated his pace to go upstairs and tried his best to get to the upper floor before Xu Yanjue discovered it.

The upper floor is not as spacious as the previous floor, with only a small walkway.

However, the only special place here is probably much brighter. Looking up, there seems to be a starry sky emitting spots but also bright and warm light.

“Like the sun.”

Ruan Qiao was thinking about it, but an old voice suddenly came from beside him. When Ruan Qiao heard the sound, she found that there was a white-haired old man sitting at the end of the aisle. He lay on his back on the rocking chair, shaking with his legs shaking.

Seeing Ruan Qiao looking at him, the old man smiled without fear, "It's obvious that they all come from a place with sunshine, but now they can rot in this humid and deteriorating environment with peace of mind. This is us."

Ruan Qiao raised her eyebrows and walked towards the old man, "Old Xu?"

The old man suddenly heard this title and seemed to be stunned. He took back his lazy look and slowly sat up with his arm.

Ruan Qiao hurriedly went up and helped him up.

The old man seemed a little wary of Ruan Qiao. He quickly withdrew his hand and squinted his eyes to look at the little girl in front of him, "Are you?"

Ruan Qiao smiled, "It was Fang Jinli who asked me to come to find you."

When he heard that it was the old man Fang Koi's expression was relieved a little, he nodded and whispered, "It's Boy Fang."

As he said that, his turbid eyes bent slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting, "That boy is lucky."

Ruan Qiao naturally couldn't understand the old man's inconsistent words. She just looked at Mr. Xu's smiling expression and saw mockery from the corner of his mouth with a higher curve on one side.

It seems that Mr. Xu and Fang Koi have a very good relationship.

"Miss, are you doing something to look for me old man?" Mr. Xu quickly restrained his smile and asked at Ruan Qiao with kindness.

Ruan Qiao always felt that this kind of kindness was imagined by herself, because she was not cold from head to toe now.

But Leng Guileng, as long as her head has not been frozen, she still has to talk about serious things, "I want to know where the order of this world is growing?"

As she said that, she saw Old Man Xu lying back into the rocking chair and closed her eyes comfortably as she looked at the sunshine pouring down from above.
