Start with acting, and you'll achieve immortality!

The candlelight in the side hall flickered slightly.

Ren Jun's facial expression did not change at all.

"This is what the teacher meant."

"If the teacher truly has a clear conscience, why doesn't he take it himself?"

"The teacher is not seeing any visitors tonight."

"Whom did he set off to meet?"

"Li Ping"

Ren Jun's voice turned low and deep.

"Knowing and mastering too many things will not benefit you at all."

"Then where should I ask? When I'm dying?"

Li Ping pressed the document firmly against his hand, refusing to yield an inch.

Should we ask in the ashes of Wenchang's old residence? Or should we ask at the desolate graves of those fellow disciples?

Ren Jun looked at him

There was a table between them, and neither of them made any move.

Gao Min stood to the side, even her breathing became soft.

After a long while, Ren Jun finally opened his mouth and began to speak.

"Yes, I added that line."

Su Wan's face turned pale instantly.

"What made you do this?"

Three years ago, I secretly peeked at a list in my teacher's hidden compartment.

Ren Jundao,

"The names of our seven disciples, including mine, are written on it."

"After each name, two words were written in red ink."

"Not returned"

Gao Min suddenly raised her head.

"So, did the teacher predict and declare our deaths three years ago?"

Ren Jun looked at him

"I only secretly added that entry to this record because I was afraid I would forget about it."

"What about the annotation 'first-class soul'?"

Li Ping began to ask questions.

Ren Jun's fingers curled slightly.

"That was the medicinal ingredient written by the teacher himself."

"Since you knew about this situation a long time ago, why did you keep it from us?"

Su Wan stared at him, her voice tight.

When Fang Cheng went missing, you kept insisting that he died in an accident.

You know perfectly well that he never left Jiangning!

Ren Jun fell silent.

Su Wan slowly raised the tip of her sword.

"What kind of people do you take us for?"

"Because I want you to live a few more days."

Ren Jundao,

"So I have no choice but to shut up."

"You call this protection? You just watch us wait for death like fools?"

"This is because those who spoke have all become lifeless dead people."

Ren Jun looked up, and finally, a trace of exhaustion could not be suppressed in his eyes.

"Du Heng investigated the list, but disappeared completely the next day; Fang Cheng went to question his teacher."

"After half a month, nothing remained of his body; Shen Zhu tried to escape, but ended up drifting in the moat for seven whole days."

"I saw each and every one of them die clearly."

"I don't know who that list is meant to be sacrificed to, and I have even less to do with who the mastermind behind it all is."

"I only know one thing: once I touch this booklet..."

"No one can continue to live."

"So you comfortably acted as a coward for three years?"

Li Pingdao

"Yes"

Ren Jun did not offer any explanation.

"I acted as a blind man for three whole years in order to survive until this day."

"Then why don't you keep pretending now?"

"This is because someone delivered that copy of the Book of Armor to your hands."

Ren Jun looked at the booklet on the table.

"That guy dug up this blood-stained booklet, not so you could plead for the dead."

"He wants to use all of our lives as the starting point for a grander scheme."

Who set up the game?

"I am unable to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Ren Jun spoke up,

"However, I know very well that if this thing continues to remain in the mansion..."

"Tonight will bring about a tragedy that will wipe out the entire family."

Li Ping smiled.

"If we hand this over to the teacher, will our lives be saved?"

Ren Jun's eyes turned somewhat cold at this moment.

"Are you crazy? How dare you doubt your teacher?"

"This old house belonged to his property, and the person who died was his disciple."

"Even the person who secretly transmitted the armor manual was one of his trusted confidants."

Li Ping listed them one by one.

"How can I trust him when he's like this?"

Ren Jun did not respond verbally.

This time, he remained silent for even longer.

Su Wan's hand, which was gripping the longsword, slowly dropped half an inch.

Gao Min closed her eyes, looking as if she had suddenly aged several years.

"Our teacher has shown us great kindness and guidance; you shouldn't try to guess his intentions in this way."

Ren Jun finally spoke

"However, you are absolutely right about one point: this booklet called Jia Lu."

"It is indeed a talisman that can kill."

He took a folded yellow sheet of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

The paper contained a few lines of newly written words.

"At midnight, at that dry well in the western part of the city."

......

"Bring your armor and seal to the dead."

......

No name was written in the signature section.

In the corner of this piece of paper, however, was a faint blood-red mark.

Su Wan picked it up

Next to this blood-red mark, there is an incomplete...

"square"

word

Her hand froze.

"Is this handwriting written by Senior Brother Fang?"

Ren Jun shook his head.

"This letter was nailed directly to my desk half an hour ago."

"I came here tonight not to help the teacher get things done."

"I'm going to find out the truth."

Li Ping stared intently at the piece of paper.

Are you planning to go to the party alone?

"Originally it was"

Ren Jun looked at him,

"But since you're already in this mess, you'd better choose your own path."

"Either leave this Armored Item here, or you can only wait for death to come."

"Or come with me to the ancient well and see what those dead people have turned into."

A sudden gust of wind blew outside the window.

The candle flame flickered violently, almost going out.

Li Ping closed the armor and tucked it into his robes.

"Mr. Gao, lock the door to the side hall."

"No matter who comes here, do not open the door."

Li Ping turned his head away.

"Su Wan, can you still draw your sword now?"

Su Wan drew her sword and sheathed it.

"Killing people is more than enough."

Li Ping nodded.

He looked at Ren Jun

"Let's set off now and lead the way."

Ren Jun didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out.

As he reached the threshold, he suddenly paused.

"Li Ping, when we get to the ancient well..."

What we see with our eyes is not necessarily what actually exists.

Even if you witness your teacher die in front of you

Li Ping stopped walking.

Ren Jun did not turn around

"Because in this world, there are many monsters who wear human skin on their bodies."
