Chapter 353: The Meeting

Chapter 353: The Meeting

Zhongsun Shan furrowed his brows then he recalled that the name of the man that he took the identity was Feng Yu. He turned around and arched his eyebrows. The man was named Huang Shao and he had seen the young man a few times in the auction house as customers.

"What is it, Huang Shao?"

"Geez, the teachers are wondering where did you end up sleeping. Anyway, follow me to report first."

Zhongsun Shan nodded and then waved his hand to the others, telling them to head back first. While they all wanted to help Zhongsun Shan, they knew that they would not be able to do so without arousing suspicions.

While the four of them were in one group, the leader was Feng Yu. In addition, Feng Yu was the disciple of a renowned elder and naturally will be paid more attention than the others. His built was similar to Zhongsun Shan despite the difference in their faces.

With makeup, they did look similar, though.

Following Huang Shao, Zhongsun Shan arrived in the building. He clenched his fist and tried to stay calm and lowered his presence as much as possible. His current rank was Golden Core Stage while Feng Yu was only at Foundation Establishment.

He had to make sure that his real rank was not found out because it would arouse their suspicion greatly.

"We’re here."

Entering the room, Zhongsun Shan could see one elder sitting on the chair while looking at the paper in front of him. He furrowed his brows as he looked at the disciple before him. The smell of alcohol was really annoying. "Didn’t I tell you not to drink so much?"

"Master... I..."

"Forget it." The elder already knew that his disciple liked drinking so much. He looked at the young man before him and waved him to sit down.

Following his arrangement, Zhongsun Shan tried to erase his nervousness. Even though he was actually wished that he could leave the place immediately, he knew that it would be absolutely impossible. He had to act as if he was Feng Yu and not Zhongsun Shan.

"There’s going to be a meeting two days from now. I want you to participate inside and try to learn what you can. In the future, you’ll be part of the inner circle of Wang Luo Sect."

"Yes, Master! Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you." Zhongsun Shan tried to act as if he was ready to bear the burden of the sect. However, it was clear that his tone was somewhat uncertain as if he wasn’t really willing to do it yet he had no other choice but to.

The elder sighed and waved his hand. "You’re still young, so you might not understand how important this is. However, bear in mind that our sect is no longer save."

"Yes, Master."

As Zhongsun Shan walked out of the room. He glanced back once more because he knew that there was someone else who was watching him when he was inside. However, he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of that person.

He could only hope the powder that Wenren Yu gave to him was enough to hide his real identity and capability.

Walking back the route he took before with Huang Shao, Zhongsun Shan arrived back in the dorm. Wenren Yu was already waiting for him. The two of them were staying in one dorm while the girls were staying in different room.

Signaling for him to enter, Wenren Yu waited patiently while walking inside. The moment Zhongsun Shan closed the door, Wenren Yu spoke out, "How is it?"

"I don’t know. Feng Yu did have quite a high position because of his father. However, there’s someone else inside whose cultivation is quite high. He’s only at Foundation Establishment, though, but I feel that his senses are sharper."

Wenren Yu nodded. Truthfully, aside from the sect leader, there shouldn’t be anyone who could see through their disguises. After all, Zhongsun Shan was also at higher cultivation than the others here so no one could see through his cultivation. He was instead faking it so that it would be lower than his real rank.

The two of them talked a bit more before they went to rest.

The next day, they chose to walk around the area and submitted the mission. Thankfully, the details of the mission and also the materials that they were supposed to submit were all in their Spatial Ring. Though, Wenren Yu had to say that these four were quite poor in overall.

Afterwards, they purposely avoided the others. Wenren Yu was not an important disciple in his new identity, so he could only walk around the area. While the disciple might be Foundation Establishment, he was categorized to be quite weak.

The same goes for the other two members and only Feng Yu was slightly better.

But of course, the same couldn’t be applied to them.

"Time pass so slowly." Wenren Yu felt like making the time faster if only it was possible. Unfortunately, they were all stuck with the same time and have to wait bit by bit. He walked around the academy while busy spreading some bottles when it was already near night time.

The bottle would react to the sun, so when it was daylight, they would start to produce poison gaze. The poison was not deadly, but it would affect their movements. It would make them slower and easier to dealt with when the time came.

Of course, he had already given the antidote for the others.

"Be careful."

"I will."

Zhongsun Shan followed the master towards the meeting hall. The Elder, who was usually called as Elder Feng, was also Feng Yu’s father. However, from the way it looked like, he had lost hope for his only son. He couldn’t even recognize that the one he brought here was not his son at all.

The room was large and looked quite luxurious. However, Zhongsun Shan’s gaze was locked onto the two leaders who were present there: Wang Luo Sect Head and also Yun Liu Sect Head.
