Chapter 213 - 213: 187: Meeting and Strange Consensus
What came into view was a tall vermilion boundary wall, blocking all the scenery behind it.
In the center of the wall was a wooden door with a beast face holding a ring.
Seeing the wooden door tightly closed.
Chen Sheng stopped.
Shen Ziming, however, passed him and went to the door.
He had no intention of knocking.
Putting both hands on the door, his muscles exerted a slight force. Rumble—
A dull sound came, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open.
Chen Sheng’s face was slightlv amazed.
The wooden door did not appear heavy, but it was not as it seemed from the sound.
“Let’s go.”
Shen Ziming turned his head and signaled Chen Sheng to follow.
They both stepped over the threshold.
The first thing Chen Sheng saw was an empty courtyard.
Several towering ancient trees were placed in the courtyard.
The mountain breeze blew gently, making the branches rustle.
The light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting beautiful black-and-white shadows in the courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, there was a stone table.
On the stone bench sat an elderly figure with white hair and a slightly hunched back.
His brows were furrowed, and he looked worried.
His gaze focused on the unfinished go game on the table, seemingly pondering a solution.
Although he looked ordinary, he carried an inexplicable, elusive temperament.
Just sitting there, he seemed to merge with the surroundings, not appearing out of place.
Chen Sheng activated his Eye of True View, ready to examine the other’s attributes.
[ Sun Yihe ]
[ Strength: ? ]
[ Agility: ? ]
[ Constitution: ? ]
The panel Chen Sheng saw, besides the name, all other information were question marks.
This made Chen Sheng puzzled.
Based on the situations he had recently encountered.
When facing attributes extremely powerful, at least twice or more of Chen Sheng’s, the Eye of True View would usually display a panel with a large number of question marks.
And when facing those with authority, such as the earlier Shen Ziming and respected elders, the Eye of True View would directly give a single question mark.
He originally thought,
That strong existences like committee members of the martial art association would have an incalculable share of authority.
But now,
He could see a complete attribute panel from Sun Yihe, rather than just a simple question mark.
Could it be that Sun Yihe never had authority, but was just purely strong in body?
Or could it be,
His estimation of the Eye of True View was incorrect?
Chen Sheng was at a loss.
And the situation in front of him did not allow him to think much.
“Elder Sun, junior Chen Sheng has come to visit.”
Chen Sheng stepped forward and saluted Sun Yihe.
No matter whether the other party was willing to let the Eagle Body Sect become an affiliate sect purely to disgust the Power Sect or for some other reason.
As a senior, he deserved this salute from Chen Sheng.
However ,
Sun Yihe seemed not to have heard it and did not respond at all.
He just stared at the chess game in front of him with a worried look, making ‘tsk’ or hissing noises from time to time.
“Master!”
Shen Ziming behind him shouted loudly, trying to wake up Sun Yihe.
But it was useless.
Seeing this,
He came to Chen Sheng’s side, his face carrying a trace of apology.
“I’m sorry, you wait a moment.”
Shen Ziming quickly approached the stone table.
He slowly raised his palms, his eyes fierce. Then,
The palm cut through the air and fell heavily.
It seemed as if it was about to land on the chessboard.
The next second.
Whoosh!
Chen Sheng’s pupils dilated slightly.
He hadn’t even seen Sun Yihe’s movement.
He only felt a blur before his eyes.
And Shen Ziming’s palm was caught in an instant.
“What are you doing?
He looked up at Shen Ziming, his face puzzled.
“Who are you?”
“I’m your disciple.”
Shen Ziming looked helpless.
“What? Zhu Di?” “How come it’s a foreign devil’s name.” “Your disciple!!!”
Shen Ziming yelled into Sun Yihe’s ears.
“Oh, oh, oh, my disciple.”
“My disciple…”
Sun Yihe mumbled to himself, repeating this sentence over and over.
During this process,
His clouded eyes gradually cleared.
What is going on?
Chen Sheng was puzzled.
Could Sun Yihe have dementia?
That would be too absurd. Just as Chen Sheng was thinking, “Are you Chen Sheng?”
Sun Yihe’s voice rang out again. Compared to his previous confusion and hoarseness,
Now, his voice was full of power.
“It is the junior.”
Chen Sheng followed the sound and saluted again. As soon as the words fell,
He suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze sweep over him.
Chen Sheng slowly stood up and looked at Sun Yihe.
He no longer had that demented look from before and was now examining him with a sharp gaze.
“Yes.”
“Interesting.”
The corner of Sun Yihe’s mouth curled up slightly.
It seemed that his eyes could see through Chen Sheng’s body to the secrets hidden in his heart.
“Since Xiao Ming is willing to trust you, I won’t ask too many questions.”
“Those wolf-hearted brats from the Power Sect deserved to die.”
“Heroes have always committed crimes with martial arts, and this has not changed in thousands of years.”
“I’m not a pedantic person; I will not tell you to abide by the law and be a good citizen. ”
“Or, tell you that you must wait until someone puts a knife on your neck before you choose to fight back.”
“But remember, keep to your bottom line and stick to your position.”
During the conversation,
Sun Yihe’s gaze was burning.
Though the words were not all spoken, Chen Sheng already understood the other’s meaning.
“Elder, please rest assured.”
He didn’t say anything more, just saluted again.
Seeing this,
Sun Yihe didn’t say anything more.
He withdrew his gaze and pointed to the unfinished game in front of him.
“Do you know chess?”
“I know five-in-a-row.”
“Then get lost.”
Sun Yihe snorted and waved his hand with a disgusted look.
“Since I promised to let Eagle Body Sect be a subsidiary, I won’t go back on my word.”
“You’re free to study the martial arts techniques and breathing techniques in our Yihe Gate Book Pavilion.”
With that said,
He raised his head and looked at Shen Ziming beside him.
“Which of your senior brothers are available right now?”
Shen Ziming was initially deep in thought, not knowing what he was pondering.
Seeing Sun Yihe addressing him, he suddenly woke up. “Right now… only Sixth Senior Brother is available.”
“Hmm.”
Sun Yihe nodded slightly.
“If you need anything, have Xiao Ming take care of it.”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask your Sixth Senior Brother.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
After saying that,
Sun Yihe waved his hand again.
“Thank you, senior.”
Chen Sheng bowed his head to thank him.
so,
The two of them left the courtyard directly. With a bang,
They had just stepped out of the main gate,
When a muffled sound came from behind them.
Chen Sheng looked back,
The wooden door was tightly closed.
“My master seems to be in a critical stage of cultivation lately. Ever since I became his disciple, every time we meet, it’s like this.” Shen Ziming explained with an apologetic expression.
“No problem, it’s actually a good thing.”
Sun Yihe was straightforward and didn’t ask too many questions about him.
Chen Sheng was quite happy with this arrangement.
“Next, let me take you to meet my Sixth Senior Brother.” “If you have any questions, you can just ask him directly.”
Shen Ziming suggested.
Chen Sheng wanted to ask about the martial arts realm and secret skills, so it was perfect timing.
After saying that,
Shen Ziming scanned the surroundings. Quickly, his gaze locked onto a certain direction.
“That’s where my Sixth Senior Brother is. Let’s go.”
Chen Sheng followed his gaze,
The direction he was staring at turned out to be the villa he had seen previously when climbing the stairs.
Among the mountains and forests, this villa stood out from its surroundings, very conspicuous.
“Let’s go then.”
Now that they had already met Sun Yihe,
Meeting other people didn’t require them to be as cautious as before.
Once Shen Ziming finished speaking,
He transformed into an orange cat and jumped onto Chen Sheng’s shoulder.
“Why bother transforming for such a short distance?”
Chen Sheng was puzzled by Shen Ziming’s actions.
“You’ll see in a bit.”
He looked at Chen Sheng with a meaningful glance.
Chen Sheng couldn’t help but feel an ominous premonition.
But since they’d already come this far,
Backing out now wouldn’t be appropriate.
Well, he’d find out after a look.
Whoosh!
Chen Sheng didn’t hesitate at all,
And leaped directly from the mountain top towards the villa below.
After a few jumps,
They had already entered the dense forest near the villa.
“Ah—Annoying! ”
“Hehehe.”
“Hurry up. ”
As soon as they passed through the dense forest and arrived at the villa, Unusual noises came from within the villa.
Because the sounds were so unbearable, it was hard to describe,
Chen Sheng wished he could shut down his hearing. He looked at Shen Ziming on his shoulder,
Sure enough, his expression was one of ‘I knew it all along’.
“Sixth Senior Brother!!!”
Fortunately,
With Shen Ziming’s shouting,
The noise inside the villa ceased promptly.
Click.
The door lock opened,
A thin, gaunt figure appeared at the villa’s main entrance.
His face was withered,cheeks sunken,
And the dark circles around both of his eyes were so heavy, they seemed to be painted on with oil paints.
Was this…Sun Yihe’s disciple, Shen Ziming’s Sixth Senior Brother?
No matter how Chen Sheng looked at it, he couldn’t see this person looking like a martial artist.
He looked more like an ordinary person who had indulged in excess.
Forget about being a martial artist, he probably didn’t even match up to a normal person.
[Zhang Yu] [Strength: 12] [Agility: 11]
[Constitution: 10]
[Realm: Yao Light Realm]
[Skills: Divine Transfer LvMax, Seven Demon Mental Method LVI] His attribute panel was even more bizarre.
Although he was an Entering Realm Martial Artist and had a breathing technique with a fancy name,
His attributes were extremely poor.
At least, compared to the martial artists Chen Sheng had seen in Kyoto, they were extremely poor.
As Chen Sheng was wondering,
“Oh, it’s Xiao Ming.”
“Did it go smoothly?”
The gaunt man’s listless eyes glanced past Chen Sheng and focused on Shen Ziming perched on his shoulder.
“It went smoothly. Thank you for your concern, Sixth Senior Brother.”
“This is Chen Sheng, my friend.” “His sect is now affiliated with our Yihe Gate from today onwards.”
“Master instructed you to guide him.”
Hearing that,
The gaunt man’s gaze finally fell on Chen Sheng.
He hadn’t carefully observed him before.
Now he found that,
Chen Sheng had fair skin, a handsome face, and bright eyes.
He looked just like a handsome young man. His eyes immediately brightened,
“So, you’re Xiao Ming’s friend?”
Thump, thump, thump.
Pushing the villa’s door open, the gaunt man strode toward Chen Sheng,
Looking like a beast that had just found its prey.
At the same time,
Through the wide-open door, Chen Sheng caught a glimpse of the inside of the villa.
All he saw was,
Men and women lying about, all in various positions.
There was one thing, however, that they all had in common:
None of them were wearing any clothes..
