Half an hour had passed, and Ruan Mei and Ji Qing had returned to the front of the main gate. Ruan Mei said, "It looks like we have to force our way in."
Ji Qing's face showed resignation. "It seems we have no other choice."
At that moment, Wen Jiaren raised her hand. "Let's try this."
Ruan Mei and Ji Qing's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed in unison, "Did you really find it?"
This girl's luck is too good!
"I'm not sure if it's this one."
Wen Jiaren stood in the center of the main gate, looking at the Eight Diagram, and raised her hand. "Let's give it a try."
"Be careful, there might be some hidden mechanism."
"Okay."
Wen Jiaren responded and, under the expectant and tense gazes of Ruan Mei and Ji Qing, slowly inserted the key.
All three of their hearts were racing, their eyes fixed intently on the Eight Diagram.
But... there was no movement.
"What's going on? Could it be the wrong key?"
