Chapitre 39: Moving Pieces Part 2

"Let's go. Hwa Rang might scold us if he catches us slacking off during our duty," Inner Elder Ming urged.

The cultivator nodded, furrowed his brows then pondered aloud, "I wonder how the intruder managed to open that mysterious door."

This piqued Inner Elder Ming's interest. "What do you mean?"

Confused, the cultivator asked, "What do you mean by 'what do you mean'?"

Inner Elder Ming furrowed his brow and replied, "You mean, how did they do it? Wasn't that door not locked?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Rumors said that the door has been locked since the founding of Wildland Valley by the first ancestor of the late Old Jie Master. It's rumored that only the Grand Maester can open it, as he created the door to lock away something important."

Inner Elder Ming was taken aback by this revelation.

"Are you certain about that?" Inner Elder Ming sought confirmation.
