"You? Can you replace Senior Zhou?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Zixuan finished speaking, Luo Yichuan showed a hint of disdain!

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "I can't replace him, can you?"

"I..."

"Young Master Luo, Zixuan can replace my father." Zhou Nian suddenly spoke up.

Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to give Liu Zixuan a hard time, but Zhou Nian suddenly interrupted!

This was cutting off his chance to show off right from the cradle!

He pouted and said: "Alright then, hopefully when the time comes, you will act accordingly."

"Take care!" Liu Zixuan waved him off.

"You!" Luo Yichuan hadn't even said he was leaving, and suddenly Liu Zixuan was already seeing him off, completely disregarding him as the young master of the Skill Gate!

However, given his current need for the Mind Gate, he couldn't afford to offend him too much, so Luo Yichuan had to swallow his anger and secretly mutter in his heart, once the matter concludes, he will certainly settle accounts with Liu Zixuan!

After Luo Yichuan left, Zhou Nian asked: "Really going to help them?"

"No, it's not helping them; it's helping ourselves!" Liu Zixuan sneered: "Wait and see, today's events won't be that simple!"

"I didn't expect people from the Upper Three Gates to be here too." Zhou Nian said puzzled with a pout: "You mentioned a sword earlier, but what kind of sword would attract so many people's envy?"

Since ancient times, treasures are claimed by those who are capable!

Liu Zixuan was initially dismissive about all this, especially considering there were other two unfamiliar forces besides the Six Gates!

But now, Liu Zixuan was genuinely interested in the treasure!

He was determined to seize it and have a good look at what it truly is!

He glanced down to check the time; there was still an hour until ten o'clock. Liu Zixuan got up and said: "Since we know it will take place at the Mandarin Duck Pavilion later, let's head out for a bit!"

"Where are we going?"

"Celestial Secret Pavilion!"

"Haven't you already found out everything?" Zhou Nian asked suspiciously.

"New questions arose." Liu Zixuan shrugged, and took Zhou Nian out of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, and headed straight to the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, they saw a man and a woman coming out from there. Liu Zixuan wasn't initially paying much attention.

But when the man brushed past Liu Zixuan, it made Liu Zixuan suddenly frown.

The man's strength was undoubtedly above the King Realm; even with X-ray Vision, Liu Zixuan couldn't see through his actual prowess. The aura that he carried was something though, that Liu Zixuan felt no martial artist, whether in the King Realm or below, could match!

"Oh, Young Liu is here again!"

As he stared at the man and woman, the elder from the Celestial Secret Pavilion suddenly walked out, smiling.

Liu Zixuan nodded: "Those two, who are they?"

"Whoever comes to the Celestial Secret Pavilion is naturally here to inquire about something. As for their identity, how could I possibly ask?" The old man remained as mysterious as ever!

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, smiled amusedly: "Alright, I'm here to inquire about something!"

"As long as the reward is adequate, you can inquire about anything!" The old man invited them inside.

"I want to find out who those two people are! You name the reward!" Liu Zixuan sat down, smiling.

The old man paused and grinned: "Young Liu, sometimes not knowing is wise, knowing can be dangerous! I advise you not to get involved with those people, or it might be more perilous than delving into the Seven-Star Tomb!"

"Oh? So, are they part of those two unfamiliar forces?"

The old man gave Liu Zixuan an odd glance: "I haven't said anything, it's all your guess!"

This old fellow is indeed cautious.

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "Now to the main topic, I'm here to ask, is there someone named Old Mei in the Skill Gate of the Six Gates?"

"Inquiring about the Six Gates? One million!" The old man directly extended his hand, saying that number without any emotional fluctuation, as if asking for just one dollar!

Liu Zixuan twitched his mouth a few times: "You are really ruthless. Asking about one person and you demand a million? Why not just rob it directly!"

"The Celestial Secret Pavilion sells information that can cause immediate life-threatening consequences, if disclosed, and if we here at the Celestial Secret Pavilion get into trouble, we'll have to solve it with money. So I'm asking for more now; apart from my share, most of it is the operating expenses!"

The old man spread his hands: "Nowadays, everything requires operating expenses, bribing people up and down, do you think it's easy for us?"

Liu Zixuan glared at him with annoyance, took out a check, and handed it over.

The old man went behind the counter and flipped through his book, and after about two or three minutes, he smiled: "Forget about the Skill Gate, currently there is no one surnamed Mei in the entire Six Gates."

Could it be that Old Mei is not someone from the Skill Gate?

Just as Liu Zixuan was puzzled, the old man suddenly spoke up: "However, considering that we know each other, I can tell you one more thing!"

"What is it?"

"Fifteen years ago, there was a traitor from the Skill Gate, surnamed Mei, but who has long since vanished!" The old man chuckled: "I won't charge you for this piece of information!"

Liu Zixuan suddenly realized, if that's the case, it makes sense.

There are many capable people in the world, but it's impossible for there to be terrifying figures everywhere who understand mechanical arrays!

Thinking about it, Old Mei who he had crossed paths with before must be a traitor from the Skill Gate who defected fifteen years ago!

With this information, during the treasure snatch later, Liu Zixuan would have a strategic advantage over the Skill Gate!

"Farewell!"

After saying this, Liu Zixuan led Zhou Nian out of the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

"Just to ask that question?"

"Of course."

"So you suspect that Old Mei was the Skill Gate's defector?" Zhou Nian asked again.

"Whether he is or not, this information is important to us and surely will be used during the treasure snatch." Liu Zixuan suddenly glanced at the Celestial Secret Pavilion's sign: "But I'm more interested in the Celestial Secret Pavilion!"

"Why?"

"Making one million in seconds, if I owned a place like that, there wouldn't be much to strive for!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands; he was truly too busy to spare time now, but once he's free, he definitely wants to ponder over this Celestial Secret Pavilion!

Such a mysterious, massive, yet quick-profit locale as the Celestial Secret Pavilion, Liu Zixuan is very, very interested!

They wandered around outside for a bit, it was already nine forty. Just when they were about to return to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion to await the arrival of the peerless treasure, two familiar figures appeared in front of them!

It was the same man and woman they had just brushed past at the Celestial Secret Pavilion, directly blocking Liu Zixuan's way.

Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrow slightly and asked solemnly: "What do you mean by this, you two?"
