Start with acting, and you'll achieve immortality!

Ren Jun once said that his students were scattered in different places.

Su Wan also said that there were at least a hundred people.

At this point in time, all these people are recorded in the logbook.

This is not a list of disciples.

It is recorded in the first volume.

Gao Min's face turned extremely pale and ashen.

"I only care about the earliest years of the old house; what happened after that is not my concern."

"I really don't know anything."

"But every three or five years, someone would always come to the mansion to retrieve the old files."

"They claimed that the teachers needed to verify and investigate the students' backgrounds."

Who made the personnel changes?

Sometimes it's Ren Jun, sometimes it's Pei Xing.

"They are all people the teacher trusts most."

Gao Min paused for a moment before speaking.

"More often than not... it's the people around the teacher."

Li Ping turned to the last page of the book.

The number of names recorded on this page is very small.

Only seven

The first six names were all stamped with a dark red seal.

Two characters were written next to the seal.

"Out of contact"

The person in the first position is Du Heng.

The second one is Shen Zhu.

The third person in line is Fang Cheng.

When Su Wan saw the third name, her fingers tightened suddenly.

"Fang Cheng, he really is my third senior brother."

Li Ping looked up

Su Wan stared at the pages, her voice hoarse.

"He joined the sect five years earlier than me, and at that time he took the best care of me."

"Back then, the teacher only said that he went to Beihe on business, and then we lost contact with him."

"Senior Brother Ren once said that the situation in Beihe is very chaotic."

He lost his life on the way.

After she finished speaking, she remained motionless for a long time.

Li Ping looked at Gao Min

Where exactly did Fang Cheng lose his life?

Gao Min's lips turned pale

"I have no idea"

As long as it's checked on this list.

"Out of contact"

If they have this label, then no one in the world will ever see them again.

Li Ping's finger landed on the fourth name.

They are Qin Ye and Shen Qing.

And Gu Chuan

They are all students of the teacher.

Su Wan could recognize some of the names here.

Gao Min also recognized some of the other names.

With each new person identified, the room grew even quieter.

Until the very last name

Ren Jun

Two characters were written at the very bottom.

It wasn't written.

"Out of contact"

These two words

No

"Put it in the furnace"

Only one line contains the newly created annotation information.

"His soul is of the highest quality, yet he has not returned... Where is he going to return to?"

Su Wan suddenly looked up at that moment.

"Senior Brother Ren clearly belongs in Jiangning!"

He was present at the county council meeting last night.

"I know that, which is why this booklet seems all the more peculiar."

Li Pingdao

He stared intently at those four words.

That is, not returned.

What does "not returned" mean?

Ren Jun had always been by his teacher's side and held the position of Inspector of Jiangbei.

He was also the most valued person in the entire sect.

Where will he go next?

At that moment, Gao Min suddenly took a step forward and stretched out her hand.

I want to close this booklet.

Li Ping placed his hand on it.

"Mr. Gao, who wrote this page?"

Gao Min's hand gesture froze in mid-air.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"I would never mistake this handwriting, even if I died."

"Who could this be?"

Gao Min did not answer immediately.

Suddenly, someone was knocking on the door outside the side hall.

a bit

Tapped twice

The guards stationed at the entrance shouted their questions.

"Who is it?"

A calm voice came from outside.

"It's me, it's Ren Jun."

The three people inside the room all changed their expressions.

任俊

Gao Min's hand managed to fall at the last moment.

He stared at the last line of the record, his voice hoarse.

"This was written by Ren Jun himself."

Ren Jun knocked on the door again.

Mr. Gao

His voice remained calm.

"The teacher is waiting for this copy of the book; please don't keep that old man waiting too long."

The person outside did not knock again.

The side hall was even quieter than before.

Gao Min stood by the table, sweat streaming down her face from her temples.

Su Wan gripped the sword; the wound on her right shoulder had just been dressed.

A little red seeped through the edge of the white cloth.

Li Ping pressed his hand tightly against the document.

"How many people are actually following him?"

The guard at the gate whispered

"Lord Ren"

"Then where are those sentries hidden in the shadows?"

"He brought two henchmen to guard the alley entrance."

"I didn't dare to go in."

Li Ping turned his gaze to Gao Min.

Gao Min's Adam's apple bobbed slightly at that moment.

"If Ren Jun is really going to make a move, bring these people with him."

"They're here to die."

"If he's planning to rob us, then things actually become easier to handle."

Li Pingdao

"If he was indeed ordered to come here to retrieve this, then why would he need to act so furtively outside this gate?"

Gao Min did not give any answer.

Ren Jun's voice came from outside the door.

"Li Ping, now open this door completely."

"You can't protect that copy of the Book of Armor."

This statement doesn't actually carry much weight.

But this caused the expressions of several people in the room to change instantly.

Su Wan's sword extended half an inch.

Li Ping raised her arm and pressed her palm against the scabbard of the sword she was wearing.

"Let him in."

The guards hesitated for a moment.

Open the door

The latch was pulled open

Ren Jun strode in from outside.

He was still dressed in that blue robe, the hem of which was damp with night dew.

The hair ornament was not messed up

His complexion was paler than usual, and there was a fresh cut on his right thumb.

The blood has dried.

After entering the room, he first turned his gaze to Gao Min.

Then he shifted his gaze to Su Wan.

Finally, he looked at the armor plate on the table.

His gaze lingered on the other person for a very short time.

"They're all here."

Ren Jun's gaze swept over the three of them.

"It saved me a lot of trouble."

Su Wan took half a step forward.

"Senior Brother Ren, you've finally decided to show yourself now."

"Did you add the names of the dead on the last page of the record?"

Ren Jun did not answer immediately.

He walked to the table and stopped two steps away.

"So it seems you've all seen it by now."

"Yes"

Li Pingdao

"Du Heng, Shen Zhu, Fang Cheng, and your name, Ren Jun."

"Everything is written down very clearly."

Ren Jun raised his eyes

"Even so, what can you do?"

"You're in such a hurry to get this booklet?"

Li Ping asked,

"Are you afraid we'll investigate, or are you afraid the teacher will kill you to cover it up?"
