After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

Ye Buqun's deep voice rang in Qin Yichen's ears, as if it had a magical power that made Qin Yichen involuntarily stop in his tracks.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Buqun with a puzzled expression. "It's Steward Ye. What do you need me for?"

Ye Buqun smiled kindly and replied slowly, "His Majesty has ordered that Prince Jin go to the treasury to select a treasure as a gift for your return to the royal family. This is His Majesty's way of showing his appreciation for you."

"Choose a treasure from the vault as a gift?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichen's eyes flashed with delight, as if he were seeing countless dazzling treasures shining before him.

His heart pounded faster, and his excitement was palpable.

Immediately afterward, like an impatient child, he grabbed Ye Buqun's sleeve and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over there quickly."

However, just as Qin Yichen was about to take a step towards the treasure vault, Ye Buqun suddenly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Your Highness Prince Jin, please wait a moment."

Qin Yichen turned around, looking at Ye Buqun with a puzzled expression, waiting for his explanation.

Ye Buqun smiled slightly and pointed in another direction, "Your Highness Prince Jin, we're going in the wrong direction. The treasure vault is over there."

Qin Yichen suddenly realized what was happening, scratched his head awkwardly, smiled sheepishly, and then followed Ye Buqun in the right direction.

Throughout the journey, images of the mysterious treasures in the vault kept flashing through his mind, filling him with anticipation and longing...

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ye Buqun seemed to have figured out what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to break the silence, "Does Your Highness Prince Jin know about the treasure vault?"

"Huh? This..."

Qin Yichen suddenly came to his senses, a embarrassed smile appearing on his face. He quickly and honestly shook his head, indicating that he truly knew nothing about it.

He really didn't know.

When he was still a disciple of the Jade Purity Sect, given his status and position, he had no right to come into contact with the behemoth that was the Great Qin Empire.

He only recently acquired his prestigious status as a prince.

During his time back in the capital, he hadn't even gotten to know all the people in the palace, so how could he possibly know about the treasure vault?

Ye Buqun smiled and said, "It's alright, this old servant can explain it to His Highness Prince Jin."

Qin Yichen glanced at him gratefully and nodded.

"The Treasury is a vital location for our Great Qin Empire, containing countless precious treasures and secret manuals. Only with His Majesty's permission can one enter."

Ye Buqun's pride was evident on his face. "Moreover, the treasure vault is protected by a powerful array, so even if an ordinary person finds the entrance, they will not be able to enter."

Qin Yichen listened with great interest, and his curiosity about the treasure vault grew even stronger.

The two walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault.

Two massive stone doors were tightly shut, covered with intricate runes and patterns, exuding an air of mystery, and heavily guarded.

Ye Buqun took out the token, and after the guard confirmed it was correct, he pushed open the stone door. A dazzling light immediately shone out from the crack in the door, illuminating the entire corridor.

Qin Yichen followed Ye Buqun into the treasure vault, where he was greeted by mountains of jewels and antiques.

"This is just the outer layer of the treasure vault; the real treasures are inside," Ye Buqun said, pointing to the depths.

Qin Yichen couldn't wait to walk inside. The further he went, the more precious and rare the treasures became.

In the cultivation technique area, Qin Yichen discovered an ancient book radiating a mysterious light. He took it out, opened it, and found that it was actually a low-grade Saint-level cultivation technique.

Just as he was about to study it carefully, Ye Buqun's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Your Highness Prince Jin, you only have one chance to choose, so please be careful."

Qin Yichen reluctantly closed the ancient book, looking at Ye Buqun gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder, Steward Ye."

Ye Buqun said softly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, you flatter me. Although this cultivation technique is precious, it may not be suitable for you. There is still plenty of time, so you might as well take a closer look!"

Qin Yichen took a deep breath and put the ancient book back in its place.

Then he continued searching through the treasure vault, trying to find the treasure that best suited him.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a strange weapon in the corner.

Completely black and covered in rust, this sword-shaped fire poker was completely out of place in the treasure vault.

This weapon looked ordinary, but Qin Yichen sensed that it exuded a unique aura.

He stepped forward, gently grasped the hilt of the sword, and instantly felt a chill spread throughout his body, as if he had resonated with the weapon in some way.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host has acquired a powerful rare treasure. The system has automatically analyzed its information.]

[Ding, analysis complete. Name: Human Emperor Sword, also known as Xuanyuan Sword; Grade: Supreme Acquired Merit Treasure; Currently sealed!]

What? The Xuanyuan Sword?

My goodness.

I had some incredibly good luck today.

Isn't this the kind of treatment only the chosen ones receive?

What right do I, a major villain, have to deserve this?

Qin Yichen's heart stirred, and he secretly made up his mind that he must get his hands on the Xuanyuan Sword.

He turned to look at Ye Buqun, a sly glint in his eyes, and asked feigned ignorance, "Steward Ye, why was this ordinary fire poker put into the treasure vault?"

Ye Buqun was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Jin, due to the passage of time, this old servant has no recollection of this and does not know the reason."

Qin Yichen was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm. "I see. I think it was probably accidentally put into the treasure vault. What do you think, Steward Ye?"

“Indeed, Your Highness. If you are interested, you may take it and study it.” Ye Buqun said with a smile.

He could easily understand the unspoken meaning in Qin Yichen's words.

He figured it was just an insignificant thing anyway, so he gave it away. As a favorite of the Qin Emperor, he had that much power.

Qin Yichen nodded, "Then thank you very much, Steward Ye."

[Ding! You have intercepted a crucial opportunity from Qin Muchen, the chosen one of destiny, causing him to lose 100000 points of luck. Congratulations, host, you have gained 100000 villain points!]

As expected, the Xuanyuan Sword wasn't meant for him.

But once I've eaten something, no one can make me spit it out!

Qin Yichen put away the Human Emperor Sword and continued his stroll.

However, this time he learned his lesson.

Wherever they went, they would directly ask Ye Buqun which one was the best.

So, you should pay special attention to inconspicuous places.

Just as I reached the corner at the end, I saw a book that looked like a block of iron placed under the corner of the table.

Qin Yichen squatted down and picked up the book.

There were some strange symbols engraved on the book cover. He examined them carefully for a while but couldn't figure them out.

The pages of the book, with their densely packed text resembling an ancient incantation, were filled with words.

Just as he was trying to decipher the incantations, he suddenly felt a mysterious power surging from the book, instantly engulfing his body.
