Su Qingyu's heart suddenly leapt. Her once gradually calming heart started racing again. Not in the service area? With Yanjing's signal coverage, unless they were hiding deep in the mountains and forests, this shouldn't be happening.

She then dialed Ghost's number, but it was also out of service. Trying Ji Qian's number, unsurprisingly, it was the same result...

Having lived with Ye Shikai for a long time, Su Qingyu knew that the life of those in the cultivation world was beyond ordinary people's imagination. Maybe they were "exploring" in some corner of the world again. Now that she couldn't reach any of them by phone, they must have gone to some ruins.

But why didn't he say anything beforehand? Thinking this, Su Qingyu felt a sudden drop in her mood, his scent faintly lingering on the pillow. Her thoughts were troubled, making her concerned. Su Qingyu dialed a number — this was Ailina's. Back then, Ye Shikai arranged for this Caucasian beauty to join the company to protect Su Qingyu and An Lan's safety. Yet she might not know that at first, while abroad, Ailina was also crazily pursuing Ye Shikai. Of course... Ghost wouldn't tell Su Qingyu these things.

Even though they were divorced now, Ailina still stayed in the company. Partly because Ye Shikai wanted her to protect Su Qingyu, and another part was her voluntary decision. Compared to life abroad, Ailina preferred her current status.

"Hello, President, is there something you need?" Despite it being one a.m., Ailina didn't sound tired at all.

"Well... do you know where he went?" Su Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"The master... he's busy with something right now." Ailina paused, hesitating. In truth, she didn't expect Su Qingyu to call her. In theory, Su Qingyu shouldn't know that Ye Shikai went to the ruins. Unless... did the news leak?

"Did he go to some dangerous place again?" Su Qingyu quickly caught on; didn't she know Ye Shikai well? Even after marriage, he couldn't stay idle.

"President, these matters... you better not get involved." Ailina was also extremely hesitant, unsure whether she should tell Su Qingyu the truth.

"Speak quickly, or I'll come find you." Su Qingyu resumed her usual cold tone, the words turned into a direct threat.

"Alright, alright, but I need to explain this slowly."

"No worries, I'm coming to you now." While saying this, Su Qingyu got up and dressed. After experiencing a nightmare, she was completely awake and quite spirited.

Ailina looked innocent. She had decided to come anyway, might as well tell the whole truth and avoid weaving more lies.

"Kai, I didn't expect you to really make Li Yueying embarrassed." Chen Yuxin tugged at Ye Shikai's sleeve, looking pleased. Although she was noble as the Family Head, Huaxia values peace, and with the Li Mansion's great influence, Li Yueying had long been domineering in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, after encountering Ye Shikai, she was quickly dealt with.

"To be a hero is to discern the times. Even the capable must decide based on the current situation. Now, Li Yueying is only here with part of the Li Mansion's people, inferior to our strength. Additionally, I killed two of Li Mansion's men, which intimidated her. I also warned those who wanted to target my treasures not to act rashly, including the Li Mansion and Ji Family." Ye Shikai said softly, "But if we really encounter the Master of Li Mansion, then it will be troublesome. However, for now, gambling is the right decision." Ye Shikai still clung to his luck; after all, the ruins are vast, and Li Mansion must be attacking from multiple fronts, so the chance of encountering them is not high.

The crowd continued forward and soon arrived at a copper door. To Ye Shikai's knowledge, it was the largest copper door he'd seen with his own eyes, decorated with many Great Seal script characters and designs. Of course, Ye Shikai couldn't understand them.

"Xin, can you understand these characters?" Ye Shikai asked.

"I can't, but my subordinate can." Chen Yuxin waved her hand, and a man wearing glasses stepped forward, looking more like a "scholarly bookworm" who studied history.

"This copper door weighs a thousand pounds and cannot be opened by anyone except the Heavenly Destiny," the man translated the words on the side, and everyone was shocked. To put it bluntly, unless the right person is found, the copper door will not open. In conclusion, the ancients were quite "superstitious". How would they know who the so-called Heavenly Destiny is?

"What could this possibly mean?" Ye Shikai murmured.

"Hmph, just now so overbearing, now you're backing down. If you have the ability, open this door," Li Yueying snorted.

"Shut up," Ye Shikai shouted loudly, "Otherwise, Miss Li, why don't you go and try?"

"Hey, such a heavy copper door, you big men aren't going, and you're letting me? Are you kidding?" Li Yueying said, playing the weak woman. In truth, given her skills, even fifty burly men wouldn't stand a chance against her one move.

"Can't you see? It requires the 'Heavenly Destiny' to open it. Don't you want to try?" Ye Shikai laughed. Li Yueying flicked her sleeve and took a few steps forward, followed closely by her guards.

Unexpectedly, this young lady cared a lot about her image. If she could really push open the copper door, she would be the Heavenly Destiny, which would be very prestigious in front of so many people. However...

Li Yueying harnessed her Inner Strength, extending her hand to the copper door, evoking a somewhat "mantis trying to stop a chariot" feeling. After all, compared to human size, this door was simply too large.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Yueying. For a few minutes, the copper door remained motionless...

It seems she is not the Heavenly Destiny.

"Hmph, what a lousy copper door," Li Yueying finally gave up. Frustrated, she gave the copper door a strong kick before leaving.

Swish, swish, swish.

Aah.

Suddenly, several arrows shot down from above. A few guards from the Li Mansion were caught off guard, struck by arrows and killed instantly.

"Everyone be careful," Ye Shikai shouted. Everyone immediately took precautions. The arrows came too suddenly, catching them completely unprepared, and they quickly retreated.

"Protect the young lady," the guards of the Li Mansion hurriedly pulled Li Yueying back. The arrows lasted only for about a dozen seconds before stopping. Ye Shikai shone a flashlight upwards, seeing many arrow holes. It seemed this place was filled with hidden mechanisms; they had to be cautious.

"Li Yueying, because of your willfulness, you cost three lives," Ye Shikai looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.
