Chapter 340 A great bargain for free, but not so easy to get.

Upon hearing the old man's question, Luo Zixi smiled gently and took out the pair of Yin-Yang jade discs hidden in her spatial storage.
Seeing the jade disc appear in Luo Zixi's hand, the old man in the tuxedo breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master, with just these two tokens, we can confirm your identity. However, you still need to pass a test before you can inherit everything here.”
"I'm sorry, this is a rule that has been passed down through our clan for thousands of years. Every time a new master comes, he must complete these tasks in order to gain the support of our clan. If any link goes wrong, we will not recognize your identity."
"Now that the two tokens have appeared, all that remains is to test the owner's abilities. It's actually quite simple. It's a completely sealed box containing a key. The owner only needs to retrieve the key without opening the box or causing any damage."
Hearing the old man in the tuxedo's words, Luo Zixi became even more suspicious.
Taking out the contents of a sealed box without opening or destroying it is something that would be extremely difficult for anyone other than someone with spatial abilities to do...
This is a test specifically designed for those with spatial abilities. Those without such abilities shouldn't even bother trying!
At that moment, the old man in the tuxedo came out carrying a very ornately decorated box.
Upon seeing the box, Luo Zixi looked at the old man in the tuxedo with even greater interest.
This box looks quite old; its weight alone is enough to tell that what's inside is anything but ordinary.
The key is the profound energy emanating from the box, which makes the space feel as if it wants to absorb the special energy within.
The box itself is a treasure. The entire box is made of the finest wood, and there are some jewels around it that have faded in color, but each one has its own unique shape and looks quite exquisite.
It is clear that this is a treasure chest that was carefully crafted by European artisans in the past.
Moreover, Luo Zixi was certain that the treasure chest had some special mechanisms securing the contents, making it virtually impossible to open it from the outside while keeping the contents intact.
Therefore, it is certain that the so-called key in this box is also quite extraordinary!
"The key again!" This word has been appearing quite frequently around Luo Zixi lately.
Some say she is the key, some are searching for the key, some are stealing treasures related to the key—everything revolves around this key!
Could the treasure inside this chest be the key that everyone is looking for?
Thinking of this, Luo Zixi's mind raced. Looking at the expectant look on the old man's face, she had been listening to him speak from beginning to end, and she didn't know which of his words were true and which were false.
But judging from the old man in the tuxedo's behavior, he was probably telling the truth most of the time.
Under these circumstances, Luo Zixi felt it was worth a try!
At this moment, she gently placed her hand on the treasure chest, and with a sweep of her mind, she could clearly sense the key inside.
However, the moment her mental energy touched the key, a special memory fragment and information surged into Luo Zixi's mind like a tidal wave.
At this moment, Luo Zixi felt as if she were watching a movie, instantly seeing scene after scene that was both real and magical...
At the same time, she also learned the meaning of the key and what these people were actually protecting.
However, she discovered that even though she knew some fragments, they were only fragments, not the whole picture.
This is a bit awkward...
But the amount of information is already sufficient.
Having understood everything, Luo Zixi moved her mind, and the key appeared in her palm.
The treasure chest, which had been locked with a key, opened naturally, quickly revealing its contents.
Inside was a special cashmere cloth that perfectly protected the key that was originally placed on it.
Luo Zixi waved the keys in her hand, then turned to the old man in the tuxedo with a smile and asked:
"So, I think I passed all the tests, right? You can verify it yourself."
Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, the old man in the tuxedo immediately shook his head and waved his hand, saying:
“Master, it’s not necessary. The fact that you can take out this key is the best proof.”
"Our clan has been waiting for you for many years. Your arrival truly brings honor to our clan!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zixi responded with a smile:
"It's alright. Since you said you would return these things to me, I believe you will keep your word. I don't care who in your clan got this castle, they must return it to me now, or they will face the consequences!"
"Don't try anything funny. If you anger me, the consequences will be severe. I'll show you who's in charge!"
The elderly man in the tuxedo immediately bowed and scraped, saying very respectfully:
"Master, please rest assured, we will complete the handover of this castle property as soon as possible, and it will definitely satisfy you."
"Thanks to our clan's meticulous management over the years, not only has the castle improved significantly, but your estate has also become much more prosperous. Rest assured, our clan will now be completely at your disposal!"
Seeing the old man in the tuxedo looking nervous, Luo Zixi couldn't help but feel that this matter was probably far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.
Moreover, as the old man just said, the castle is no longer in the hands of these so-called owners, but under the name of their clan.
These so-called masters should be the ancestors of Su Wanwan's clan.
The Su family is really something else; they've managed to extend their reach all the way to Europe.
It's clear that these guys were quite shrewd back then.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Their spatial abilities alone would allow them to travel the world without fear, at least they would have a place to stay wherever they go.
Therefore, it is only natural that they would go to Europe to develop their careers.
However, it would be very difficult for the descendants of the Su family to inherit such a large family business in this European land, and there must have been many twists and turns along the way.
However, they had a way of making these native Europeans always acknowledge them as their masters.
This is truly something else.
Of course, Luo Zixi has now gotten a great deal, and this has truly made her rich.
However, even though she has now arrived in Europe, it will probably not be so easy for her to control this group of elderly men in tuxedos.
Judging from the old man in the tuxedo's demeanor, the person currently occupying the castle's property is probably not easy to deal with...
