From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"What the hell are you up to?"

In the dark and chaotic alley, a man and a woman, both wearing black cloaks, walked side by side. The woman wore a snake mask, while the man wore a plain, unadorned mask.

Li Qinghan glanced at Chen Shi beside her, frowned, and asked a question.

She was clearly already a Holy Son of the Fufeng Society, yet she was asked to recommend her for re-entry. Having finally gained a second membership, she was now meeting the Altar Master again as a Holy Son.

After all this back and forth, Li Qinghan was completely confused.

"I have my reasons, just do as I say."

Chen Shi said in a deep voice, without explaining.

Li Qinghan frowned at Chen Shi, then snorted coldly after a long while and stopped asking questions.

Upon arriving at the Zhiyi Divination Hall, they exchanged the same secret code as before. Chen Shi stood to the side, revealing nothing, just as if it were his first time there.

The code was correct; Ke wouldn't open the door blindly.

Once inside, Li Qinghan opened the secret passage and led Chen Shi down.

The altar master had already given instructions on this matter, so Ke Buxia did not stop them. He simply closed the secret passage again as usual after the two of them went down.

From the moment he entered the secret passage, Chen Shi silently memorized the direction and the number of steps he had taken!

"What's going on!"

As soon as the first fork in the road appeared in the passageway, Chen Shi frowned instantly.

This time it's different from before!

He had already traversed this secret passage twice before: once when Li Qinghan introduced him to the group, and once when he formally joined after completing his pledge of allegiance.

Although Chen Shi did not deliberately try to memorize the route at the time, he had a naturally good memory. With effort, he could remember exactly how to take each fork in the road.

He was certain that the path he was on now was different from the one he had taken before.

"What? Oh, you mean the road?"

Li Qinghan glanced at Chen Shi with some surprise, then let out a soft hum.

"The paths here change frequently anyway, so what's the big deal?"

"How could the path have changed!"

Chen Shi stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.

It's not that there are many traps and pitfalls on other wrong paths, and once you take the wrong one, you're doomed.

Does this mean there isn't just one correct path?

"Let me tell you, there are actually traps and mechanisms on every road."

Seeing Chen Shi's confusion, Li Qing sneered twice and then explained.

"However, these traps can be turned off. Each time, the altar master will turn off some of the traps along the path, and only then will a safe path appear."

"I see."

Chen Shi nodded. It seemed that the complexity of the construction here far exceeded his previous expectations.

It has to be said that this forum leader is indeed very careful. As a result, even if someone like Chen Shi wanted to silently memorize the route, it would be difficult for them to remember it.

Understanding this, Chen Shi chuckled inwardly.

He is different from ordinary people; he has an excellent memory, especially recently, after entering a meditative state to nourish his spirit, he can almost remember everything he sees.

Even if he only goes through it once, he can remember the path!

"If that's the case, how can you be sure which path is the right one each time?"

"bawl."

Li Qinghan didn't say anything more, but gestured to the person next to her.

Chen Shi followed Li Qinghan's gaze and, after careful observation, discovered several small black insects crawling on the wall.

"These little insects may seem insignificant, but they were actually intentionally placed there by the altar master. If you see three of these insects, it means you are on the right path."

"So that's how it is."

Chen Shi nodded again, finally understanding.

It must be said that although the method is simple, it is extremely difficult to detect without the knowledge of the user.

The two continued walking forward, and just as Li Qinghan had said, although they could see these little insects everywhere along the way, at each fork in the road, there were three little insects lying next to the correct path.

Chen Shi didn't think much of it and simply memorized the route.

Just like last time, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two walked out of the passageway and came to the stairs leading upwards.

Looking at the staircase, Chen Shi smiled slightly. After walking through it once, he had a general idea of ​​the route in his mind.

Coming up the stairs and opening the partition, it's still the same secret room.

As before, the altar master, wearing a tiger-striped mask, was already sitting and waiting.

Each time, only the altar master was present, which made Chen Shi wonder about the actual scale of this Yongqiu branch altar.

"You are the Holy Son of the Eighty-One. What brings you to see me?"

While I was lost in thought, the forum master spoke.

Chen Shi asked Li Qinghan to take him to see the altar master. Li Qinghan had informed him in advance and received permission. Otherwise, even if they forced their way into the Zhiyi Divination Hall and the secret passage, they would not have been able to get here without those little insects marking the path.

However, it was not made clear beforehand why the Holy Son wanted to meet with the head of the Yongqiu branch altar.

"It's nothing, just came to say hello."

Chen Shi smiled, and although he was wearing a mask, you could still sense his frivolity.

"Um?"

The altar master frowned, looked at Li Qinghan beside him, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

As the leader of the forum, his identity was highly confidential, and in order to prevent exposure, he tried to meet as few other people as possible.

Li Qinghan had to beg and plead with the Eighty-One Saint to agree to meet him, but to his surprise, the other party was only there to say hello. Was this some kind of joke?

"Master, please calm your anger! This subordinate... this subordinate was unaware of this situation before."

Li Qinghan quickly explained, glancing at Chen Shi with a sharp, piercing look.

That bastard, he's deliberately trying to screw her over!

"We are both third-class citizens, and we are both in Yongqiu City. It's only right that we greet each other, get to know each other, and look out for each other in the future."

Chen Shi remained dismissive, his tone even more matter-of-fact.

"snort!"

The altar master let out a heavy snort, too lazy to say anything more to him. He raised his hand and flicked his sleeve forcefully, which was tantamount to giving him a dismissal order.

Then, he didn't forget to give Li Qinghan a word of advice.

"This person must not be brought here again!"

"Yes."

Li Qinghan quickly agreed, not daring to say anything more, and pulled Chen Shi back.

See you later.

Chen Shi smiled and said something to the altar master, then left with Li Qinghan without causing any further trouble.

So they returned the way they came, and by the time they got back to the Zhiyi Guaguan, the path map in Chen Shi's mind had become increasingly clear and specific!

"You bastard! Are you kidding me?!"

As Li Qinghan left the fortune-telling shop, he angrily cursed.

It's true that Chen Shi has caught her red-handed, but that doesn't mean she should just let him manipulate her at will.

What's the point of messing with you?

Chen Shi snorted lightly, his face showing disdain.

"you!"

Li Qinghan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but frown.

Yes, Chen Shi doesn't seem to be such a boring person.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"You don't need to know that."

Chen Shi said coldly and turned to leave.

Without the slightest delay, he hurried home, where the white paper was already laid out. After a moment's thought, he picked up a brush. The next instant, the image in his mind flowed from his brush onto the white paper!
