Zhou Yiqiao nodded to express understanding.

"Okay, then I will wait here for good news from the two elders."

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he sat down on a stone bench beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

Judging from his expression, it is obvious that he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai exchanged complicated glances and then left in a hurry.

Of course, the two did not go to find other elders to discuss the matter as they had said, but instead took a detour to a nearby courtyard hidden in a breath-suppressing formation.

Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai walked into the courtyard and started discussing with serious expressions before they had time to sit down.

"Brother Zhang, I still say the same thing. You and I both know that Zhou Yiqiao is very talented. His future achievements will definitely be limitless."

"If we can take a gamble now and lend him a helping hand, he will become very successful in the future, and both of us and even the family behind us will be able to take advantage of his glory and move to a higher level."

Li Canghai spoke first, with a firm tone in his voice.

Zhang Yunhe sighed softly and shook his head slowly.

"How could I not know Zhou Yiqiao's talent?"

"But having said that, the manor owner's orders cannot be disobeyed."

"The Bronze Palace is an important place in the sect, and it hides countless secrets. If we make decisions on our own and the owner of the manor finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Brother Zhang, you are too cautious."

Li Canghai retorted.

"Although the owner of the manor is powerful, he is far away in the Four Sacred Lands. How can he know everything clearly?"

"Besides, the eldest lady herself promised Zhou Yiqiao to enter the Bronze Palace. We are just following her lead. What's wrong with that?"

"Have you forgotten the eldest lady's attitude towards Zhou Yiqiao? Even if the owner of the manor really blames us afterwards, with the eldest lady's personality, she will definitely help the two of us get rid of the crime."

Zhang Yunhe was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he was struggling inside.

He knew very well that what Li Canghai said was true, but he was also frightened by the risks of disobeying the manor owner's orders.

Seeing that Zhang Yunhe was still hesitant, Li Canghai lowered his voice and added another strong medicine.

"Brother Zhang, did you know that before Zhou Yiqiao returned to the sect, he was secretly instructed by the eldest lady to go to Floating Light City?"

"That is the secluded place of Senior Baicao Weng, who is the most skilled alchemist in the cultivation world."

"According to the information I received, that kid not only received the favor and guidance of Senior Baicao Weng, but was also given four precious pills that could reverse his aptitude by Senior Baicao Weng."

"You and I should both understand the meaning of this."

When Zhang Yunhe heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he thought deeply.

The name of Baicao Weng is well-known in the world of cultivation, and his alchemy skills are almost unmatched. Even the so-called number one alchemy sect in the world, Yaowang Valley, has to show him respect.

"I know what you are worried about, Brother Zhang. It is that after the truth is revealed, the owner of the manor will kill Zhou Yiqiao in a rage."

"But now this kid not only has the eldest lady's protection, but also has the favor of Senior Baicao Weng. Unless the owner of the manor does not ask Senior Baicao Weng for elixirs in the future, he will never make a move against Zhou Yiqiao."

"In this situation, can't you make a decision?!"

Li Canghai's voice became more determined, and every word seemed to strike at Zhang Yunhe's heartstrings.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Yunhe finally made up his mind.

He sighed, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Li is absolutely right. For the future of our family, we should be selfish for once."

"But this matter must be kept secret and cannot be discovered by the owner of the manor and others."

The two looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

So, they straightened their clothes, tried to calm down, and returned to Zhou Yiqiao.

"My dear Zhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhang Yunhe had a smile on his face and his tone sounded a little more relaxed.

"After discussing with the owner and several other elders, we all agreed that your leisure time at the villa is irrefutable and you should be rewarded with training in the Brass Palace."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes that was hard to conceal, but he quickly regained his composure and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, elders. I will cherish this opportunity and live up to your expectations."

Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai smiled at each other, secretly relieved in their hearts, but remained calm on the surface.

In the name of inspection, the two of them took Zhou Yiqiao and cleverly avoided the patrolling disciples and other possible spies of the owner of the manor, and rushed towards the entrance of the Bronze Palace.

"Friend Zhou, the Bronze Palace is a forbidden area of ​​our villa. It is full of traps and no one other than our core disciples is allowed to enter without permission."

"However, considering your special situation, we will grant you this opportunity. However, please remember that after entering, all actions must be in accordance with our arrangements. You are not allowed to explore privately or touch any restrictions."

On the way, Li Canghai made an excuse to go ahead and distract the guards near the Bronze Palace, while Zhang Yunhe gave instructions with a serious face.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was curious, he was not like Du Wen. He just suppressed all his emotions and nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two came to an entrance that looked like an ordinary courtyard but actually held a secret, and met Li Canghai who had arrived earlier.

Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai circulated their spiritual power at the same time, and each of them made complicated hand seals. There was a flash of light, and the seemingly closed wall slowly cracked open, revealing a secret passage leading to the underground.

"My dear Zhou, please follow us."

The two men motioned Zhou Yiqiao to follow, and then stepped into the passage.

An advanced concealment formation is arranged in the passage. Even for people with high cultivation, it is difficult to detect its existence unless they know the mechanism.

As we went deeper, the light in the passage gradually dimmed, but there was a faint spiritual fluctuation in the air, which lifted our spirits.

Zhou Yiqiao was secretly amazed and became even more excited about the secrets within the Brass Palace.

Finally, the group arrived at the end of the passage, and an ancient and heavy stone door came into view.

Zhang Yunhe and Li Canghai teamed up again and opened the stone door with a special method. An even more intense spiritual energy rushed towards them, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.

"Welcome to the Brass Palace, Zhou Yiqiao."

Zhang Yunhe's voice echoed in the empty palace and suddenly became extremely solemn.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and stepped into this legendary place that was well-known throughout the Tianchen Realm.

Inside the Brass Palace, the light was soft and even, like a wonder interwoven with natural light and spiritual power. It was neither glaring nor dim.

The surrounding walls and floors are carefully carved from a rare chalcopyrite ore. This ore not only has a warm color, but also contains a strange energy that can guide people to peace of mind and sharp thinking.
