Ye Tian's face revealed a hint of surprise upon hearing her words. He never expected that Ying Ziyi was aware of the existence of the Burial Ground, let alone that she intended to enter it. He frowned slightly and asked, "Were you planning to go to the Burial Ground and ended up being chased here?"
Ying Ziyi nodded gently, her eyes sparkling with determination. "Yes, senior. I want to become stronger and avenge my father. Wang Bo said that entering the Burial Ground would grant me immense power."
Ye Tian sighed at her words. He was well aware of the dangers lurking in the Burial Ground, but he also knew it concealed endless opportunities and challenges. It was also a graveyard for countless powerful beings; one misstep could lead to utter ruin. Looking into Ying Ziyi's resolute gaze, he felt a mix of pity and admiration.
"Entering the Burial Ground requires a token. Without it, you can only enter but not exit," Ye Tian said in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing this, Ying Ziyi's face showed a moment of hesitation. Then, with a gentle wave of her small hand, a translucent jade pendant appeared in her palm. The pendant emitted a soft glow, as if it contained some mysterious power.
At the moment the pendant appeared, Ye Tian's necklace suddenly shone brightly, and soon after, a woman dressed in red slowly emerged from it. She gazed at the jade pendant with shock and disbelief in her eyes. "It's the True Sun God Jade!"
The True Sun God Jade is one of the most precious treasures within the Burial Ground. It is said to suppress extreme yin bodies, preventing those with such constitutions from suffering cold poison before they reach full maturity, and may even allow one to comprehend legendary secret techniques.
Ye Tian was taken aback that Ying Ziyi possessed such a valuable treasure; he couldn't help but regard her with newfound respect. However, seeing Ying Ziyi's determined expression and the True Sun God Jade in her hand, he understood she had made up her mind. No matter how thorny or fiery the path ahead might be, she would forge ahead without hesitation.
For she held something more important than life itself—hatred and dreams. When Ziyi caught sight of Su Yanran's sudden appearance, she was so startled that she stumbled back several steps, her small face filled with terror. Seeing this, Ye Tian quickly smiled reassuringly. "Don't be afraid; this is my master, Senior Su Yanran."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi felt a weight lift off her chest. She patted her heart and let out a long sigh of relief before looking at Su Yanran with eager anticipation. "Senior, can you accompany me into that mysterious Burial Ground?"
"My meager strength makes it hard to predict what will happen once inside. I'm not afraid of death; I just can't bear to leave my vengeance unfulfilled."
Ye Tian looked at Ziyi's steadfast and persistent gaze and felt a surge of emotion within him. He knew further persuasion would be futile, so he smiled and said, "Since you've made your decision, then come along with me. And there's no need to call me senior; just call me brother."
Ziyi's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile as she joyfully called out "Brother Ye Tian." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a melodious stream in the mountains. Ye Tian affectionately ruffled Ziyi's hair, his eyes filled with warmth and encouragement.
At that moment, Su Yanran interjected with a smile, "The Burial Ground won't open for another two days; there's no need to rush. Why don't we prepare ourselves first to avoid any chaos later on and miss our chance?" Both of them nodded in agreement, their hearts brimming with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming adventure.
