Chapter 260: True and False Keys
“Being impatient allows others to take advantage of. Things like keys can be obtained by fate. If there’s no fate, you won’t be able to see it even if you put in a lot of effort.”
Xu Xiao slowly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Liu Yu.
“My personality… Sigh!”
Liu Yu also realized his own personality problem.
However, it was formed when he was a child and the Xia family had all sorts of crises later on.
Anxiety often accompanied him and did not give him a chance to correct himself.
“In that world, only by enduring patiently can one survive. Only then will one’s family members not be retaliated against.”
Xu Xiao poured himself another cup of tea.
Liu Yu’s fiery temper was really not suitable for survival in that world.
If he were to go head-to-head with others, he would one day be besieged by the orcs. Even his family and friends would be implicated.
“Senior Xu, then wouldn’t we become the punching bags of the orcs?”
Liu Yu immediately understood the meaning behind Xu Xiao’s words.
“What can we do? The human race is weak, the orcs are strong, and the Demon clan is the overlord of the Continent.”
Xu Xiao shook his head.
If the Human clan was really strong, then their Xu family wouldn’t be forced to return to this small world.
“Thank you for your advice, senior.”
After gulping down a mouthful of tea, Liu Yu bade farewell and left.
Xu Xiao put away his tea set, stood up from the ground, and looked at the horizon.
“So many years have pa.s.sed, I wonder how the human race is doing?”
Now that Xu Xiao’s cultivation had already reached the supreme level of Virtual Realm, he only needed an opportunity to breakthrough.
This opportunity could only be found in a large world.
“When I breakthrough, the human race will have one more True Realm expert, and our days will not be so tight. If Liu Huaiting, Chu Qing, and Zhou Hua follow me, it won’t be long before the human race will have several more True Realm experts.”
Xu Xiao’s eyes were filled with hope.
With so many True Realm experts appearing, the Human clan’s days would definitely be much better than before.
Even if they were faced with oppression, the other party would still take a look at their expressions.
With Liu Yu’s irritable temper, the result would be even better if he fought back a few times.
Now, the only thing left was to wait, wait for the key to appear.
With so many lucky people searching for a key, even if it was buried deep underground, it should have appeared by now!
If it wasn’t for the traitor in the clan, he would have already returned.
On the other hand, if it wasn’t for him saying that he lost the key, he wouldn’t have known so many experts.
Swish ~
Right at this moment, Xu Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened as he stared warily into the distance.
Supreme level of Virtual Realm!
Another supreme level of Virtual Realm.
His aura was extremely unfamiliar.
Who was it?
“Hmm?”
When his figure approached, Xu Xiao realized that this unfamiliar man was covered in dust. From his appearance, it seemed like this person had been hunted down during this period of time.
Who would dare to chase after a person at the supreme level of Virtual Realm?
Could it be that he had fled thousands of miles away?
Wouldn’t it be a big joke if a Virtual Realm expert were to flee?
With his imposing aura, it didn’t seem like he was an expert who had fled.
“Who is it?”
When the other party approached, two experts flew out from Muyang City to stop him.
“I’m looking for Xu Xiao from Muyang City!”
The person’s expression was indifferent, and he had a condescending aura.
“I am!”
Whoosh…
Xu Xiao appeared in front of the person, then the person turned to the other two people and said, “You are not his match, leave this place to me.”
The two people left.
Xu Xiao stared at the person.
The air suddenly became silent.
“Who are you?”
Xu Xiao said.
“Senior Xu, I am Liu Wei’s younger brother.”
Liu An sized Xu Xiao up for a long time.
He realized that he was no match for this old man in front of him.
Xu Xiao was definitely on the verge of breaking through, but this world didn’t give him a chance.
It seemed that his cultivation was still not enough.
“The little Emperor of South Continent’s State of Great Xia who has long gone into seclusion?”
Xu Xiao said.
As he spoke, he bit on the word ‘little’.
He was still so arrogant in front of me.
Sooner or later, he would suffer a loss.
Why were the Liu family members always like this?
“Yes!”
“What are you here for?”
“I just want you to identify an item in my hand. If possible, inform my sister and the others that they may stop searching.”
“Oh? You’re so confident?”
Xu Xiao’s gaze paused.
This kid found the key? Was he bragging, or was it true?
“Of course!”
“Show it to me!”
Xu Xiao was straightforward and did not invite Liu An into the city for tea.
Liu An carefully stared at Xu Xiao for a long time. After hesitating for a while, he opened the bag and revealed half of the jade annulus.
“This is the one!”
“You didn’t trust me. Even now, you only revealed half of it.”
Xu Xiao glanced at the jade annulus that revealed half of it.
He thought to himself, the craftsmans.h.i.+p of fake keys had become more and more exquisite.
“It’s not that I don’t trust senior. This thing was originally senior’s, but now I’ve gone through a lot of trouble to get it back. If you were to rob and deceive me, no one would believe me even if I said that this thing was mine.”
The corners of Liu An’s mouth curled up as he said half-jokingly.
“Hehe, if the thing in your hands is real, what’s the harm in it being in your hands? If you want to leave this world, having the key isn’t enough. Do you know how to activate it?”
Xu Xiao also said half-jokingly.
His eyeb.a.l.l.s that were staring at the half-jade annulus grew bigger and bigger.
Even though only half of it was exposed, no matter how similar the craftsmans.h.i.+p outside was, they didn’t have that kind of familiarity.
Could it be that the thing in this guy’s hands was real?
“That’s good too! I’ll keep this thing first. If there’s a chance, I’ll come and see senior again.”
After getting his reply, Liu An turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait!”
“What else does senior want?”
“Can you let me take a closer look at the thing in your hand?”
Xu Xiao took a step forward.
That half of the jade annulus was too similar.
“This… Let’s look at it another day!”
After saying that, Liu An turned around and ran. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.
“I don’t want your thing, why are you running? Could the key in his hand was real?”
After turning around, Xu Xiao’s mind was still filled with that piece of jade, and he could not get it out of his mind.
When he thought about that thing again, no matter how he looked at it, it looked just like the key that he had been thinking about day and night.
Unfortunately, only half of it was exposed, and he did not let him take a closer look.
When he returned to the secret chamber, Xu Xiao was unable to enter the state of cultivation.
For a few days in a row, his mind was focused on that piece of jade.
“It’s best to take a look!”
After coming out of the secret chamber, he walked around the hall of the Xu family twice.
Without taking a look, his heart would not be able to settle down.
Fortunately, he knew who he was, so it was not difficult to find him.
He immediately flew out of Muyang City and headed straight for South Continent.
In the Well of Prenatal Qi of Great Xia Kingdom.
Liu An restored his cultivation to its supreme level.
The jade annulus was placed in front of him.
Every time he opened his eyes to see this thing during cultivation, he felt extremely rea.s.sured.
Even when Xu Xiao stared at this thing that day, he was not sure if it was fake. The more he was not sure that this jade annulus was fake, the more Liu An was sure that this thing was real.
“If elder sister knew that I have the real key in my hand, I wonder how happy she would be.”
After putting away the jade annulus in his hand, he turned around and appeared in the Hall of Harmony.
He walked slowly to the table and stared at the Little Emperor.
“Grandfather~”
Sensing the change of the atmosphere, the Little Emperor raised his head and saw Liu An. He quickly bowed and said.
“Pa.s.s down the order. Those who were sent out to look for the key should withdraw! Also, send someone to secretly inform your great aunt that I have found the key that she is searching for.”
“What?”
The Little Emperor raised his head in surprise.
Why was the thing that the whole world was looking for with his grandfather?
Grandfather went out for a few months and found it.
“What are you waiting for? Go quickly!”
