Getting Himself Caught Up in It

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Lu Changzhi had indeed flung his hand away, and the sacks had wrapped up the figures, Zhong Ming quickly spoke up.

For some reason, he had a feeling.

If he hadn't stopped them, the other side would have really taken these powerful individuals away.

Once it's taken away...

Does that mean it's really no longer his responsibility?

"What's wrong?"

Lu Changzhi paused for a moment and looked at Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming took a deep breath:

"How did you do that?"

Lu Changzhi blinked and said:

"I didn't do anything."

Zhong Ming didn't speak, but just stared straight at Lu Changzhi.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his gaze to the sack in Lu Changzhi's hand.

Pack it in sacks, yes, pack it in.

The Lu Changzhi in front of me is probably faking it!

How could such a bizarre thing happen out of nowhere?

And they are all so neat and uniform.

Did they really do nothing?

He didn't quite believe it.

Having possessed the system for so long, his management of these powerful individuals is arguably unmatched.

Furthermore, due to the system, even those stronger than himself cannot affect his control over these resurrected experts.

Only now.

And that's not all.

The earlier spectacle and the item he happened to find also left a deep impression on him.

Is it really just luck?

Zhong Ming had found the answer.

At that moment, Zhong Ming understood and said in a deep voice:

"What are your requirements, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's brows twitched, and he smiled:

"You seem very confident."

Although there was no reply, the meaning behind the words was quite clear.

Zhong Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he asked:

"I wonder what methods were used to achieve this?"

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:

Want to know?

"Right now, I happen to have a vacancy for a disciple."

"Um?"

Zhong Ming paused, his expression turning somewhat strange.

My initial intention was to take the other person as my apprentice.

How did my own actions turn into the other party accepting me as their apprentice?

However, he didn't have any particular ambitions regarding taking on apprentices or becoming a disciple.

Zhong Ming did not answer immediately.

Lu Changzhi did not urge him.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, Zhong Ming spoke up and asked:

Are there any restrictions if I become your disciple?

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"If you have your own plans, just follow them; you can just be a figurehead."

Zhong Ming nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll take you as my master."

The situation was too strange. All the powerful figures he had resurrected were completely useless against the opponent, which was a huge limitation for him.

As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them.

If there are no restrictions, becoming an apprentice is certainly an option.

After all, the other party is involved in a key event, so they must have something unique about them.

After agreeing, Zhong Ming performed a formal apprenticeship ceremony.

Lu Changzhi nodded slightly and called out to the system.

Brush.

In a short while, Zhong Ming felt that his control over the resurrected powerhouse had fully returned.

"It really is true."

Zhong Ming muttered to himself.

At that moment, his mind was focused on entering the system, picking up a pen, and writing furiously:

"System, are you bugged?"

How can they be so easily fooled?

I tried my best, but in the end, I even got myself involved.

A few moments after I marked it as "read," a message popped up.

"The target is adept at hiding; is the host blaming me?"

Zhong Ming paused slightly, then sighed softly, picked up his pen, and continued writing:

No, it's not your fault.

If this is anything to be astonished as it seems, then this system, which is usually as cold as a stone, is going to be quite sad.

Then, for some time afterward, he will likely be too heartbroken to continue his search for and excavation of the grave.

It's difficult, difficult to grasp.

On the other side.

Lu Changzhi's ear.

A notification sounded indicating that the task was completed.

Next, I received the reward package for recruiting apprentices.

"Enable?"

When asked by the system, Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and decided not to activate it.

The current location is not very suitable.

Let's wait until we get back to discuss it.

The two of them snapped out of their daze from the system.

Zhong Ming also removed her makeup, revealing her normal appearance.

His age is not very old either; judging from appearances, he might even be younger than Xiang Li.

Judging from the standards of the Five Continents, he is undoubtedly a young prodigy who surpasses the past.

Perhaps because he had done a lot of grave robbing, Zhong Ming gave Lu Changzhi the feeling that he had a kind of evil spirit that his physique couldn't completely ward off, but it matched his appearance quite well.

Lu Changzhi estimated that Zhong Ming's appearance and temperament would be quite attractive to female cultivators.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it has a considerable interest in grave robbing.

The figures from before showed they had dug quite a bit.

At this time.

Above the sky.

The strange phenomena that had occurred earlier were now beginning to dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, everything seemed to return to its previous state, as if nothing had ever happened.

At this moment.

The entrance to the Five Elements Saint Emperor Inheritance Space.

Figures from all sides emerged one after another.

Countless people outside are eagerly awaiting the return of their loved ones.

What exactly happened that caused such a commotion?

This is hard not to pique one's curiosity.

Lu Changzhi looked around.

Not long after, Lu Changzhi saw Mu Fan's figure appear from the entrance.

"Master."

Seeing Lu Changzhi's signal, Mu Fan set off.

Noticing Zhong Ming not far from Lu Changzhi, Mu Fan thought for Zhong Ming and asked:

"New junior brother?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan slowed his movements slightly, put his hands behind his back, and solemnly approached a short distance in front of Zhong Ming, saying:

"Greetings, junior brother. Welcome to Hidden Origin Peak. My name is Mu Fan, your second senior brother, and also the most handsome man on the entire Hidden Origin Peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi coughed lightly.

Mu Fan decisively added:

"Well, except for my master."

Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.

"Zhong Ming greets Second Senior Brother." Zhong Ming clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"If there's anything outside of cultivation, you can ask your second senior brother later."

Zhong Ming nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

Then, Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan and asked:

How was the trip?

"Not bad." Mu Fan thought for a moment:

"Maybe it'll come in handy. It wasn't a wasted trip; I even got to see some fun."

"As long as it's usable."

Lu Changzhi nodded. "In a bit, you'll explain the situation at Hidden Origin Peak to Zhong Ming so he has a general understanding."

"Become."

Lu Changzhi withdrew his gaze and looked to the other side.

Huang Zhan and Lu Yuan were hurrying over.

Upon meeting, Huang Zhan asked with some curiosity:

"Those Saint Venerable who broke in, I don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said, "I don't know either; it's probably just a coincidence."
