Chapter 180 Liu Yuntian's Willow
Chapter 180 Liu Yuntian's Willow
Outside the dungeon, Zheng Ye and his three companions were sitting in the central hall with six doors.
Liu Yi lowered his head, his eyes sometimes bright, sometimes dim, as if he was thinking about something.
He would occasionally raise his head and quickly glance at Zheng Ye, but would quickly lower his head again.
Unlike Liu Yi, Zheng Ye was like a curious baby at this moment, looking around, full of novelty and curiosity about everything around him.
His eyes wandered around, as if he wanted to take in every detail here.
Zheng Ye's wife, on the other hand, seemed more reserved and silent than usual.
She lowered her head slightly, all her attention focused on the sleeping baby in her arms, her eyes full of love and tenderness.
“Tick-tick-tick…”
Just then, a light sound of footsteps was heard from the corridor outside.
The sound broke the silence in the room, and the three of them raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.
As the footsteps got closer, the next moment, a figure appeared at the door.
He was a young man, tall and straight, with steady and powerful steps.
He was wearing a black suit that was well-tailored and highlighted his slender figure.
There was a long cape hanging from his shoulders, which fluttered gently with his movements.
As the young man walked into the house, his face gradually became clear.
I saw that he had long, shiny black hair tied up high, with a few strands of hair falling down from his temples on both sides, fluttering in the wind.
His face has clear contours and delicate features. His deep eyes shine like stars, revealing a sense of determination and courage.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, with deep and bright eyes, especially his peach blossom eyes, which give people a mysterious and charming feeling, making people want to get closer to him and learn more about his story.
“Three…oh no, four, sorry for the long wait. I’m Lin Ying, the Ying of Shadow!”
He introduced himself, his voice loud and powerful, revealing confidence.
Then, he added: "I am the silver medal detective of the Six Gates!"
The tight clothes he was wearing were the iconic uniform of the Six Gates Constable. On his chest hung an exquisite silver round badge with the three words "Six Gates" engraved on it, indicating his identity and status.
Zheng Ye's eyes lit up after hearing this. He immediately stood up, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Brother Lin, I am Zheng Ye."
Then he pointed to the woman next to him and introduced her, "This is my third sister, and the one she's holding in her arms is my son."
As he spoke, he changed the angle of his finger and pointed at Liu Yi, continuing to introduce him: "This is Liu Yi. Although he is young, he has already reached the late stage of foundation building!"
Liu Yi raised his head, looked at Lin Ying, and nodded slightly to show his greeting.
Lin Ying also smiled and nodded in response.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered the corners of his mouth slightly, and said seriously: "However, there are some things that need to be said in advance. My Six Gates are not open to anyone."
As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the central hall, looking at Liu Yi constantly, and continued, "One must be a person with great fortune to enter the Six Gates."
"This is Qiyang City, the most chaotic place in the entire Qiyang Continent. If you don't have great luck to protect you, you will not be able to survive."
After saying this, he turned his gaze specifically to Liu Yi and raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Lin, you can rest assured about this!"
Zheng Ye put his arm around Lin Ying's shoulders in a familiar manner, with a confident smile on his face, "We are all people with great luck. Liu Yi was already a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building before he even reached adulthood, and my third sister and I started out as ordinary mortals and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals."
He paused, looking into the distance with a determined gaze, as if recalling all the hardships and obstacles in the past, "Without the protection of great luck, how could the three of us have achieved what we have today?"
Lin Ying then turned her attention to Zheng Ye, and did not show any disgust towards his enthusiastic embrace on the shoulder.
On the contrary, a hint of curiosity and surprise flashed in his eyes, "Brother Zheng is actually a mortal, and has never joined any force or immortal sect?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice, as if he was terribly shocked by this fact.
"That's right," Zheng Ye nodded proudly, his eyes gleaming with pride, "My third sister and I were born in the southern border. We have been wandering around for many years, often going deep into the territory of monsters to take natural treasures. We have survived several near-death experiences!"
His tone was full of emotion, as if he was recalling those life-and-death moments and a surge of ambition was building in his heart.
After saying that, Zheng Ye mysteriously took out a yellowed sword manual from his arms and gently stroked it as if he were treating a precious treasure.
He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "This is what we found in a secret place. It contains the truth of swordsmanship. I only learned a little bit, but I killed seven late foundation building cultivators in an instant!"
His eyes revealed an irrepressible excitement, and he obviously thought highly of the value of this sword manual.
"If I can be appreciated by the Six Gates and stay to find a job, I am willing to offer this treasure to you!" Zheng Ye said with a hint of anticipation on his face.
Hearing this, Lin Ying couldn't help but open her mouth wide and looked at Zheng Ye in shock.
He looked Zheng Ye up and down, but couldn't see anything special about him.
Zheng Ye was clearly only at the middle stage of foundation building, and he did not deliberately hide his strength.
With such a level of cultivation, he was actually able to instantly kill seven people in one move? This sounded incredible!
However, when Lin Ying saw the sword manual in Zheng Ye's hand, he was still a little shaken.
Although he did not know the authenticity of this sword manual, he was still skeptical as to whether it really had such powerful power.
However, faced with Zheng Ye's confident attitude, he finally nodded to show his approval of him.
At this time, Liu Yi, who was standing aside, showed a very strange expression.
He muttered to himself: Those seven people were clearly killed by Liu Gong. Does Zheng Ye really think it was because of the power of the sword manual?
He deliberately flatters himself...
Or was there really a misunderstanding?
However, since Zheng Ye had already said this, Liu Yi couldn't expose him on the spot, so he had to pretend nothing had happened to avoid making the situation awkward.
At this time, Lin Ying also noticed Liu Yi's expression, and walked up to him with a smile, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Little Brother Liu Yi, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Yi shook his head and said firmly, "I came here because of Brother Zheng's invitation. If we are not qualified to enter your Six Gates, we will leave."
Lin Ying raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.
Then he half-knelt down, looking at Liu Yi at eye level, staring at Liu Yi closely, and said softly: "Whether you can stay or not, it depends on you looking into my eyes and answering a few questions before I can decide."
Liu Yi frowned, full of doubts, but seeing Zheng Ye nodding repeatedly, he could only agree reluctantly.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.
Lin Ying took a deep breath and asked the first question: "Little brother, are you from Northern Xinjiang?"
Liu Yi answered without hesitation: "No."
However, when he finished saying this, he found that Lin Ying's eyes became sharp, as if he could see through everything.
Lin Ying smiled slightly and continued to ask: "You lied, you are from the Northern Frontier. Then, the second question is, have you joined any forces?"
Liu Yi was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Lin Ying had captured all his subtle expressions.
He calmed himself down and answered again: "I am a casual cultivator and I don't have any power background."
"You blinked too many times. You lied again. Your background is very powerful. Third question, is your last name Liu the same as the King of the North?"
"Yes, it is Liu Yuntian's Liu."
