Qin Huai descended from the bronze wall, meeting the agitated Fang Huo.
"Brother Zhou, did you find the key?" Fang Huo asked.
Qin Huai simply shook his head in response.
"We haven't found it either... We suspect that the key might not be in this level-one array, but perhaps in another," Fang Huo explained. "Since the key is supposedly fated, there shouldn't be a set threshold..." He gave a bitter smile and added, "Gou Jie even daringly speculated that the key might not even be in the bronze realm."
Qin Huai was taken aback at this idea. While reluctant to believe it, he had to admit that Gou Jie's theory had some merit.
"Seems like we really aren't destined for the emperor of Qingzhou's key." Qin Huai sighed, shifting the conversation, "But just because someone's fated to it doesn't necessarily mean they'll really end up with it, right..."
Fang Huo chuckled. "You've hit the nail on the head, Brother Zhou."
