Fane bowed to the old man, full of respect. He said sincerely, "Old man, could you tell me why this place was left behind? What was going on in that scene I had just witnessed?"
The old man did not turn around to look at Fane, nor did he answer Fane's question directly. He merely replied plainly, "You'll know in the future."
Fane's lips twitched. At that moment, he really wanted to ask all the questions in his heart. However, he was worried that the old man would find it strange if he poured out everything just like that.
Then if the old man would suspect him, it might even cause him to lose everything. So, all he could do was temporarily hold back his curiosity.
The old man did not know what Fane was thinking about. He merely continued to say, "The box in your hands still requires a key. The key is at the Wild Gorge Pass. If you want to open the box, you have to head there. Then, I'll send you off."
Fane raised his eyebrows. His heart was filled with even more confusion. What was the Scarlet Case? Where was the Wild Gorge Pass? There was still a key?
Those questions muddled in Fane's mind before he suddenly remembered something. He recalled what the old voice had said when he was on the Divine
Void Slope. The old man said that the most valuable thing he had obtained was still locked in a box.
The box could not be opened at the moment, it still required a key. Was the Scarlet Case the most valuable box in the storage ring?
Just as he was about to ask if his thoughts were correct, the old man continued, "Whether you can obtain the ring or not, you'll still have to go. Don't think or care about anything else. With your current abilities, knowing is useless. Once you open the Scarlet Case, you'll know everything!"
