Chapter 51(1/2)
Soon, Chen Xinzhu came to a small hill.
On the hill, stood a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing Chen Xinzhu from a distance, the middle-aged man felt a little confused.
Everyone who comes here now should be the disciples of the inner sect of Huashan who rushed over after seeing the summons. Why is this person so unfamiliar?
Could it be that he is a new inner disciple?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man gathered his energy and asked from a distance.
"Are you my Huashan disciple here?"
When Chen Xinzhu heard this, he also used his true energy to pass the voice over.
"I'm Chen Xinzhu, it's been less than three months since I was promoted to the inner sect."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he secretly thought that it was indeed the case.
He continued: "Since you are my Huashan disciple, you might as well come over and talk."
Soon, Chen Xinzhu approached the middle-aged man.
After sizing him up a bit, Chen Xinzhu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I've seen you, senior."
The middle-aged man was slightly startled when he heard this.
Don't you know me?
Yes, you have just been promoted to the inner sect, so it’s normal that you don’t know me.
but.
This junior brother looks really young.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man replied slightly curiously.
"My name is Shan Yiming, and I am also an inner disciple. Just call me Senior Brother Shan. I wonder how old you are, Junior Brother Chen?"
Hearing this unexpected question, Chen Xinzhu was also startled and replied calmly.
"Seventeen."
Seventeen?!
When Shan Yiming heard this, he was also startled.
So young?!
Chen Xinzhu didn't want to talk more about this topic and got down to business.
"Senior Brother Shan, was it you who issued the Huashan summoning order just now?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Yiming nodded and replied.
"I let him go. Following Master Yan's order, I summoned all Huashan disciples near Jiyang County here."
Having said this, Shan Yiming paused and said seriously.
"Tomorrow at midnight, all disciples must meet here and accompany Master Yan to explore the ruins."
Hearing this, although Chen Xinzhu had some guesses, his heart still felt a little stirred.
I didn't expect that there would actually be relics discovered.
Chen Xinzhu sighed softly and asked, "Senior Brother Shan, I wonder how long it will take to explore the ruins?"
When Shan Yiming heard this, he was also stunned.
When the other disciples heard the news, their faces were filled with joy.
Why does this little junior brother seem to be in a bit of trouble when he comes here?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Shan Yiming still answered truthfully.
"Due to the complex internal conditions of the ruins, it is difficult to say the specific exploration time. However, I do know that the exploration times for the two ruins that were discovered before were three days and five days respectively."
Having said this, Shan Yiming paused and then said.
"What? Junior Brother Chen, are you in any trouble?"
Chen Xinzhu thought for a while after hearing this.
3~5 days?
It doesn't seem long, but it's not short either.
The most important thing is that the uncertainty of this time is too strong.
If we explore for ten days and a half, and wait until we come out of the ruins, I'm afraid we won't even have to go to Yunzhou.
Where will we go to find the four great doctors?
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu looked at Shan Yiming and said.
"Senior Brother Shan, I do have some things to do, and I'm a little pressed for time. I wonder if I can skip participating in this ruins exploration?"
When Shan Yiming heard this, he was stunned again, thought about it carefully, and replied.
"Junior Brother Chen, I can't give you an answer to your question now."
Speaking of this, Shan Yiming chuckled.
"Junior Brother Chen, what do you think about this? If you have any difficulties, tell me carefully. I will go back and help you talk to Uncle Yan and try to get his permission."
Chen Xinzhu nodded after hearing this.
Soon, Chen Xinzhu gave an overview of the matter.
Shan Yiming listened and nodded repeatedly.
"That's it, I understand."
"..."
Afterwards, Chen Xinzhu bid farewell to Shan Yiming and returned to Jiyang County.
One night passed.
The next day, early morning.
Chen Xinzhu came to the hillside again.
There are already three people waiting here.
They all look to be in their thirties or forties.
Before Chen Xinzhu could say hello to everyone, two more people arrived not far away.
One of them is Shan Yiming, whom Chen Xinzhu met yesterday.
I saw him two steps behind, following a tall middle-aged man.
In this way, the identity of a tall, middle-aged man is also revealed.
I'm afraid he is Master Yan from Huashan's innate realm.
Seeing the two people arriving, one of the disciples glanced at Chen Xinzhu and said casually.
"Uncle Yan is here."
When Chen Xinzhu heard this, he looked at him carefully.
Not much to say.
The four of them took a few steps forward and bowed to Master Yan.
"I've met Uncle Yan."
Master Yan laughed loudly.
"Okay, we're not outsiders, so we don't need to engage in these vulgar etiquette."
After saying that, before anyone could speak, Master Yan immediately looked at Chen Xinzhu with a serious expression and sharp eyes.
"Are you the new Chen Xinzhu who entered the inner sect?"
Feeling the intimidating aura on his body, Chen Xinzhu's expression remained unchanged and he replied calmly.
"Reporting to Uncle Master, my disciple is Chen Xinzhu."
Uncle Yan, a light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became more powerful.
"I heard from Xiao Ming that you are not willing to participate in this ruins exploration?"
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of the other three people.
There are still people who are unwilling to participate in the exploration of the ruins?!
Chen Xinzhu's face remained calm and he replied in a calm tone.
"Although I am not unwilling, the disciple is indeed unable to participate in this exploration of the ruins."
Master Yan heard this, glanced at him, and chuckled.
