Grandpa Shen took Ye Ze and Shen Ye to the study.

Last time, Grandpa Shen fell down, but thanks to Shen Ye's guidance, he was spared from suffering. When Shen Ye and Ye Ze returned to the capital, Grandpa Shen presented them with a token of gratitude. Recently, at the Ye family's banquet, Grandpa Shen also gave a generous gift.

This time, Shen Ye saved Shen Qinlin, and Grandpa Shen similarly presented a generous token of gratitude.

"You don't have to be polite," Shen Ye said. Although he liked making money, Grandpa Shen had already given him invaluable things, and he felt it was enough.

Grandfather Shen smiled and said, "You saved my Ah Lin, so this is what you deserve."

In addition to the reward, he also took out a wooden box.

"I found this thing from the underground of the ancestral hall when I had it renovated recently. I felt it might be useful to you," Grandpa Shen said as he handed the wooden box to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye looked through the wooden box and saw a golden radiance.

He didn't need to widen his eyes, and immediately looked at Ye Ze.

Ye Ze, of course, also saw the golden radiance and touched Shen Ye's head, saying, "Take it."

Shen Ye thought for a moment, took the box, and opened it. Inside, there was a key.

"I don't know what this key is for. It might be too old. I had people search for a matching lock, but couldn't find one," Grandpa Shen said. "Keeping this thing with me is useless, so I might as well give it to you. It might be useful to you."

He had a feeling that Shen Ye would like this key.

Shen Ye quickly thanked him, saying, "It is indeed useful to me. Thank you."

The thicker the radiance on his body, the more advantageous it was for his cultivation, and it also had benefits for opening the passage between the two realms.

However, how could this key be radiating such light?

Shen Ye grabbed the key with his hand, closed his eyes, and slowly sensed the origin of the key.

It turned out that the radiance on this key was left by its previous owner.

The original owner of the key was an ancestor of the Shen family, a well-known wealthy merchant several hundred years ago. During the chaos in the world at that time, the Shen family opened their granaries and provided relief to millions of people. This key was the token that matched granaries across different regions, and only the original owner could use it.

Saving so many impoverished people, it was no wonder the original owner had accumulated such great virtue, and even this key was imbued with it.

Shen Ye opened his eyes and looked at Grandpa Shen's face.

He hadn't paid attention before, but now, upon closer inspection, there were indeed traces of ancestral blessings on Grandpa Shen.

It was just that due to the passage of time, the blessings received by the Shen family had become insignificant, so they were not conspicuous.

"This belonged to your ancestors," Shen Ye explained the origin of the key and paused before asking, "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

Grandfather Shen didn't expect that this key actually belonged to the Shen family and was left by their ancestors.

According to reason, he should properly preserve the heirloom of the ancestors and pass it down to future generations.

But he had already given the key to Shen Ye, how could he take it back? Moreover, he had a gut feeling that giving the key to Shen Ye was the best outcome, and Shen Ye had also mentioned it would be useful.
