"Hahaha."

"There seems to be such a saying."

The old man suddenly laughed and then stood up on his own initiative.

"Keqing Chen must have always been curious about the secret room."

After getting up, the old man's first words surprised Chen Pingan.

"To be honest, I am indeed very curious about the secret room."

The moment he heard this question, Chen Ping'an was shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't hide it.

Facing such an old fox, lying is tantamount to seeking death and will only arouse the suspicion of the other party.

What's more, admitting this matter will have no impact on Chen Pingan.

"Keqing Chen is really honest."

Hearing this answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed to the secret room.

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Noticing the old man's behavior, Chen Pingan asked with some confusion.

"Isn't Chen Keqing interested in the secret room? You can go in at any time from now on."

The old man turned his head and looked at Chen Pingan with a kind face and said.

"Is that bad?"

"The sixth floor of the ancestral house is a top priority for the Huangfu family. This secret room exists on the sixth floor. It must be more important. Is it appropriate for me to rush in?"

Seeing the old man letting himself into the secret room so easily, Chen Ping'an was full of doubts.

Now he had no way of determining whether the old man's move was a test or had other purposes.

"Don't worry, Keqing Chen, since I let you in, there is no other meaning."

"And this secret room is not as important as you think. It is just a humble room for an old guy like me to live."

The old man seemed to see through the doubts in Chen Ping'an's heart and took the initiative to explain.

This time Chen Pingan did not reply, but stood up on his own initiative, and then walked into the secret room unhurriedly.

As for everything in the secret room, as the old man said just now, there is nothing important at all, just a simple bed and a desk.

"I know Chen Keqing, you always think that the martial arts skills you want are hidden in the secret room, and my appearance is also to monitor your every move on the sixth floor. The second is to test you, and the third is to keep an eye on you. Enter the secret room.”

"However, I can use my reputation to guarantee that you have indeed misunderstood."

The old man stood outside the secret room and looked at Chen Pingan quietly, and said in a calm tone.

It is not difficult to tell from the old man's words that the old man misunderstood Chen Pingan's thoughts.

This is a good thing for Chen Pingan, at least the other party did not discover his true purpose.

But apart from that, what the old man just said is also bad news for Chen Pingan.

Before entering the secret room, Chen Ping'an was [-]% sure that the sixth golden needle was stored in the secret room, but the old man's side also revealed from the side that there was no golden needle in the secret room.

"Senior, please forgive me for being suspicious before."

But this news was very regrettable for Chen Pingan, but he could only act according to the old man's words.

"It's okay, I can understand."

"Besides, Keqing Chen is not entirely overly concerned."

"The reason why I keep talking to you during this period is indeed a test, and me letting you enter the secret room proves that you have passed the test."

The old man said these words calmly and calmly, and Chen Pingan was a little surprised by his frankness.

But when he thought about it carefully, Chen Ping'an could understand. After all, he understood the truth of using people without trusting them and using people with suspicions.

"Okay, I've finished what I need to say."

"In the future, I hope Chen Keqing will make more contributions to the family."

Having said what needed to be said, the old man stopped talking and walked into the secret room, sitting at the desk and reading ancient books.

Seeing this, Chen Pingan turned around and left after bowing his hands.
