C178 Open Sesame

Ten days later, Ronton brought Smith, who was rescued by Lee Xiang and the others. Including Lena, the three of them left the place. Lee Xiang, on the other hand, made a big scene and escorted them to the nearby provinces. He even brought Sophie, who had been unwilling to show up all this time. This was to prove his sincerity. Because everyone who knew him knew very well that Sophie would not come to socialize with these trivial matters as Lee Xiang's woman under normal circumstances.

Ronton finally left the place where their family had lived for generations. He returned to the capital.

Many people felt a little sad about this result. Including Lee Xiang. Although Lee Xiang still belonged to the Ronton family in name, everyone knew that. This was just a superficial phenomenon.

Ronton, on the other hand, seemed especially happy. There was even an expression of relief on his face. Before he left, Ronton politely called all of his former subordinates in front of him and instructed them to focus on assisting Lee Xiang one by one. Then he called Lee Xiang to the study room and the two of them chatted for a few hours.

What did they talk about? No one knew. But everyone noticed that when they came out, Lee Xiang carefully helped Ronton out. It was a typical expression of filial piety. From beginning to end, Ronton looked at Lee Xiang with a loving expression. The observant people even noticed that the eyes of Lord Lee, who had just been promoted to Duke and had become the highest commander in Silo Province, were slightly red. Obviously, he had cried before.

After sending Ronton away, Lee Xiang locked himself in the study for five days and did not leave the house. No one knew what he was doing inside.

All the generals in Duke's Mansion thought that he was sad because of Duke Ronton's departure, so when they wanted to persuade him, they were stopped by Lee Xiang's most trusted teacher, Reynolds.

In the end, they had no choice but to invite Sophie on the sixth day. Because they knew very well that Sophie was the only one who could make Lee Xiang walk out of the study.

But when Sophie entered the study, she actually found that Lee Xiang was not inside at all.

This discovery made everyone in Duke's Mansion completely panic. Because they had seen Lee Xiang enter with their own eyes, but there was clearly no trace of him inside. However, Reynolds's expression was clearly very strange. Surprise? It didn't seem like it! Worry? It didn't seem like it either! In short, it was very strange.

At this moment, Lee Xiang was in another dark place. Ling Tian was also accompanying him. Because his identity was too ambiguous, he could only temporarily help him do things that couldn't be seen in the light.

The two of them widened their eyes as they looked at the situation in front of them. At the same time, they were speechless. This place. . . It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was once a castle. Because everything here proved this point. The area it covered could almost be compared to the entire Bael City, or even more.

However, it had never been discovered by anyone. Because it had always been quietly underground. In the underground of Bael City.

Its entrance was in Lee Xiang's study.

"Obviously, this place was built by Yun Zhongzi in the past. . . " They looked at the decorations that they were familiar with. There were also some Buddhist worshippers. Ling Tian was the first to nod his head. "But why would it be built underground?"

Lee Xiang shrugged his shoulders. "How would I know if you don't even know?"

What he meant was very obvious. Ling Tian had come over a thousand years before him, so he had enough reason and time to know more than him.

Ling Tian smiled bitterly. Although he came before him, don't forget that he had experienced death many times. So now, he was basically a standard person from the Osman Continent. Thus, he only knew a little more than Lee Xiang. If Lee Xiang fully awakened, this advantage would be gone.

"But now I finally know why I felt a sense of familiarity when I took my first step into the Bael City. Because this is the place that keeps calling for me. Wait for me!" Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. He never thought that there would be such a world here. In fact, he should have discovered it a long time ago. However, in order to deal with the Imperial Capital, he had delayed until now. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse?

"But I'm very curious. Why did Ronton tell you about this entrance?" Ling Tian asked curiously.

"Because his or their family has been guarding this place for me!" Lee Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ronton finally told him such a shocking secret when he left. It was a secret that had been hidden for thousands of years. This was also the reason why Ronton would specially close his door and chat with him until the last moment of his departure. To put it bluntly, The Ronton family was actually somewhat similar to Sophie's family, but the difference was that. . . As long as they completed the task given to them by Sophie, they would be able to leave safely. Then, they would be able to escape the curse of the family. But Sophie was different. Everything she had was his. Including herself.

"What you mean is. . . " Ling Tian was slightly shocked, and then laughed bitterly, "I can't help but admire Yun Zhongzi's plan from back then, and I have to admit that he thought it through very thoroughly. "

Lee Xiang nodded in agreement. In his opinion, Reynolds and Ling Tian's defeat. . . In fact, it was also because Yun Zhongzi's plan was too precise that they did not have the time to discover a lot of secrets. They failed with hatred. Therefore, it could not be said that his ability was stronger than his two seniors. It could only be said that his luck was better than theirs.

"But has no one from the Ronton family come in for so many years?" Ling Tian asked curiously.

"It's not that they don't want to come in, it's just that they can't come in at all!" Lee Xiang corrected his words. "Because they don't have this. . . "

Lee Xiang raised the Asura Ring in his hand. When he first came here, he used this Asura Ring as the key to open the underground castle. The only difference was that Ronton told him the magic spell to open the castle. The so-called magic incantation made Lee Xiang feel even more absurd.

It was actually. . . It was Sesame Open!

It was very deadly, and also very mischievous. However, Li wanted to admit that Yun Zhongzi was indeed a very talented person.

"Then how did Ronton confirm that the things here belong to you?" Ling Tian was curious.

"That's not strange. He naturally has his own unique way of distinguishing things. Just like how Sophie was able to identify me back then. . . " Lee Xiang's face turned gloomy. He really did not want to talk about this matter. He thought about what Ronton had said to him in the study before he left, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

In fact, the day his mother gave birth to him, Ronton had a premonition that the problem wasn't good, but he had never thought of this. It was only after a series of Lower Race riots had occurred in Silo Province that he started to become alert. Because he thought that this should be a very obvious hint.

So he didn't care about anyone's objections and forcefully adopted Lee Xiang. Because he needed to observe from a close distance.

Lee Xiang's actions in Silo Province had completely confirmed his doubts. So in the following days, He pretended to be sick and laid on the bed. Firstly, he wanted Lee Xiang to naturally accept these things that their family had been guarding for a long time. Secondly, he also had a trace of fantasy in his heart. Because if Lee Xiang failed. . . He could still firmly occupy the position of Silo Province as a guardian. Otherwise, if he had tried his best to control Lee Xiang from the very beginning, he would never have achieved his goal so easily.

However, he didn't expect that Lee Xiang would take advantage of this situation to gain a firm foothold in Silo Province. What happened next was basically out of his control.

Of course, Ronton's other words also deeply touched him. That was his mother. They chatted a lot about his mother.

"Also, what are we doing down here?" Ling Tian interrupted his memories at an inappropriate time.

Lee Xiang took a deep breath and waved the Asura Ring in his hand. He said in a deep voice, "Open it. . . And take out something that should belong to me!"
