Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 497 Key

As Xu Changping thought about this, he blurted out his inner thoughts without hesitation:

"Even if those people only obtained the key held by Yang Xiaoyue, without the map that records the location of the treasure house in detail as a guide, I'm afraid they would find it difficult to find the exact location of the treasure, right?"

"You don't think that all the direct descendants of the Ning family have really escaped?" Guan Ke showed a bitter smile and cast a meaningful look at Xu Changping.

Hearing this, Xu Changping was shocked and showed an expression of disbelief on his face. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. He could only stand there in a daze, as if his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, Xu Changping came back to his senses and wanted to say something hesitantly: "Then..." Realizing his gaffe, Xu Changping's face instantly became a little ugly.

He turned his gaze to Yang Xiaoyue beside him and saw that she was looking at him and Guan Ke with a confused look on her face.

Xu Changping sighed inwardly, then turned around and said to Guan Ke: "Master, I want to take Xiaoyue out for a while."

Hearing Xu Changping's question, Guan Ke nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He knew exactly what Xu Changping was thinking at the moment. No matter whether it was money or treasure, nothing was more important than saving one's life.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Master Yang Wu is the youngest and most beloved son of the Yang family ancestor. As long as they successfully get the things left by Xiao Ning, they will surely not make things difficult for Yang Xiaoyue.

However, if other families knew the whereabouts of Yang Xiaoyue, it would be hard to predict what those people would do in order to fight for the treasure.

Outside the door, Xu Changping led Yang Xiaoyue and quietly walked to the center of the yard. It was quiet all around, with only the breeze rustling through the leaves.

Xu Changping leaned forward slightly, put his lips close to Yang Xiaoyue's crystal clear earlobe, lowered his voice and asked softly:

"Xiao Yue, did your father leave you some special items? If so, as long as you trust me, just give it to me for now. I will find someone to make an identical fake to deal with those guys."

When Yang Xiaoyue heard this, her beautiful eyes instantly fixed on Xu Changping in front of her, as if she wanted to see through his true thoughts through his eyes.

As the silence lengthened, the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly solemn.

Finally, after a period of ideological struggle, Yang Xiaoyue opened her red lips and slowly said, "Brother Xu, that thing may indeed be with me... But, can I really trust you completely?"

Xu Changping was shocked. He knew very well that at this moment he had to let Yang Xiaoyue put aside all her doubts and worries.

So, he took a deep breath and answered sincerely: "Xiao Yue, you have no choice in this situation. You have no one to rely on except me.

We will be married after the New Year, and by then these treasures that belong to you can naturally be passed on to your children with your blood. If you hand them over now, there will be no hope at all."

In fact, Xu Changping himself did not really care about the legendary treasure. After all, with the wealth and resources he possessed, the dazzling array of rare treasures in his own space was already too numerous to count.

However, according to his speculation, the highly respected elder of the main line did not divide the so-called treasure map into four parts and give them to those who left.

Yang Xiaoyue was still thinking about how to resist, but now she seemed to have made up her mind. She gently reached into her collar and fumbled for a while, then took out a small and exquisite jade pendant.

The jade pendant flickers a faint but charming light under the moonlight, like a bright star in the night sky.

Yang Xiaoyue handed it to Xu Changping and said in a soft voice, "Brother Xu, this must be what they are looking for."

At this moment, the sun outside the house has climbed to the highest point in the sky, and the hot and dazzling light seems to be able to penetrate everything.

With the help of the dazzling sunlight, Xu Changping saw the extremely intricate patterns on the jade pendant.

Xu Changping stared deeply at Yang Xiaoyue, as if he wanted to see through her eyes some secrets hidden deep inside.

But then, he quickly woke up the system in his mind and issued an order: "System, help me make a copy of this jade pendant."

"Okay, host, please wait a moment, this matter will be done soon." The system responded without hesitation, and then began to scan the jade pendant carefully and meticulously.

It does not miss any details, and strives to perfectly replicate the essence of the original. Not long after, the system contacted the relevant personnel and began to arrange the reproduction work.

After receiving the system's affirmative reply, Xu Changping smiled, but then turned serious again. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something important, and quickly added:

"By the way, remember to tell the other party that it is not necessary to make all the carving parts clear." After saying these words, Xu Changping breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Xiaoyue, who had been observing Xu Changping silently at the side, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw his expression changing from smiling to frowning.

So, she gently reached out and pushed Xu Changping, and asked fearfully: "What are you thinking about? Why are you like this one moment and like that the next..."

Xu Changping was pushed by Yang Xiaoyue and suddenly came back to his senses.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately recovered and explained to Yang Xiaoyue with a smile:

"Oh! Don't worry. I'll take you inside to say goodbye to Master. If Master asks you about the relics, just tell him that you need to go home and think about it carefully."

"Is this really okay?" Yang Xiaoyue blinked her bright big eyes, her gaze fixed on Xu Changping, her tone containing a hint of hesitation and uncertainty.

She frowned slightly and bit her lower lip, as if she was having a fierce struggle in her heart.

To be honest, Yang Xiaoyue didn't really care about the so-called treasure house or the treasures that might be hidden inside.

You know, she owns a magical space, plus the wood-related ability which is half-dead but can occasionally come in handy. Even without these treasures, she can still live a prosperous life in today's society.
