"Have you heard about the stone tablets inside the Cube?"
Chen Shu looked at each of the people before him in turn. One was the most highly regarded disciple of this generation in the Daoist Order, another was the second closed-door disciple the Sword Master had broken his word to accept, and though the last did not seem to have such a dazzling background, his talent meant he surely had unusual ties to the military.
Besides, the Gate of Myriad Wonders and Zhang Suannai had joined the Daoist Order and the Sword Sect as children. That was entirely different from his own late entry into the Spirit Sect. Perhaps they knew something about the stone tablets inside the Cube.
"I've heard of them."
"Sure. What about them?"
"What about you, Senior Brother Unknown?"
"I... haven't heard of them." Unknown Person looked a little uncomfortable.
"I hadn't heard of them before either." Chen Shu grinned, letting him know it was nothing to worry about. "I only learned about them after going inside the Cube."
"What are you getting at?" the Gate of Myriad Wonders asked.
"Do you even need to ask? He obviously wants to know why the names of ancient Deities are written on those tablets. He thinks the Cubes are their tombs." Zhang Suannai spoke as if she had seen right through this idiot ages ago, then craned her neck to peer at what he was holding. "What are you drinking? Make me some too."
"I don't have another cup."
"I brought one."
Zhang Suannai took a thermos out of her Storage Spell Artifact.
Chen Shu poured her some water and dropped in a concentrated fruit-juice tablet, then asked the other two, "Want some? It's for vitamins."
"No, thanks."
"Not for me either."
"Okay."
Chen Shu sat back down
