Clown
"You'll know once you arrive." King of Clubs lightly and airily replied a sentence.
Chen Ling: ...
Towards this answer, Chen Ling naturally wouldn't be satisfied. He continued asking:
"Then what about Mo Jue? Is he your senior brother?"
"No, he is my fourth junior brother."
"Fourth junior brother... Saying it like this, your sect has many people?"
King of Clubs carefully thought for a bit, "That actually isn't true. Counting Master, altogether there are only six people... However if counting you, then there are seven."
Excluding the mysterious Master, altogether there are five senior and junior brothers huh...
Chen Ling didn't consider himself a person of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path. After all he from beginning to end firmly believed he himself was Chen Ling, was the Chen Ling who transmigrated over from the past... Even if deep in his heart he guessed, that person conversing with Master was exactly himself, he himself had the possibility of exactly being Chen Yan. But he still didn't firmly believe all this, naturally also wouldn't substitute into the "sect".
"Mo Jue... is he doing well? Body doesn't have problems right?" Chen Ling again recalled Mo Jue who died at the Stars Chamber of Comrce, couldn't help but pursue asking.
"He is very well, you don't need to worry." King of Clubs seemingly guessed Chen Ling's misgivings, "Mo Jue can create clones at an extrely far distance. The one you saw, was only the clone he originally left behind in Aurora City. After all in the original plan, the person conducting the Realm burial, recovering the Lord of the Aurora's corpse should have been him...
However in order to save you, that clone was consud in Aurora City. Therefore I then urgently rushed towards Aurora City."
Hearing this, Chen Ling only then linked the two matters together. No wonder at that ti Mo Jue would suddenly appear. Originally he had long ago hidden in Aurora City.
"However, if you want to see him, these few days estimating won't be able to see."
"Why?"
"Master took them out to play... no, went out to tour perform." King of Clubs paused for a bit, continuing saying,
"Because the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path's position is special. Almost very few people can pass through the Gray World entering the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, obtaining the Path of the Actor's recognition. Adding on the decline of traditional opera. God-Favored who can be selected by the Divine Path Star are even more almost none... Therefore people in the world who can step onto this Divine Path are very few. The Path of the Actor is already fast becoming the fifth 'lost' Divine Path.
"Therefore, Master in order to retrieve this situation, then will occasionally bring the senior and junior brothers together coming out of the mountain. Traveling the human world's Nine Great Realms.
"Every ti we arrive at a place then hold a tour performance, among the audience searching for people with the Path of the Actor's talent. Secretly guiding them to unearth their own potential, and recording them down. When these 'seedlings' grow up, we then will go look for them, officially receiving and guiding them to step onto the Path of the Actor."
Chen Ling like thinking of sothing, suddenly stopped his footsteps.
King of Clubs seeing this, doubtfully turned her head: "What's wrong with you?"
In Chen Ling's mind, suddenly recalled a detail, a mory originally belonging to this body's owner... Eight years ago, District Three once ca a theatrical troupe with crude and simple outfits. They set up a Stage outside District Three, singing opera for free.
He rembered at that ti he himself and Chen Yan exactly went to see. Off the opera stage altogether only had five audience mbers. Only that two acts of opera hadn't finished singing yet, he himself then fell asleep. But Chen Yan instead with relish listened from beginning to end. It was also after that, he started to be interested in opera, moreover learning without a teacher a considerable portion of knowledge.
Could it be... he himself actually eight years ago, had already seen Master and them before?
"Eight years ago, did you guys see before? At that ti still had my younger brother." Chen Ling probing asked.
King of Clubs looked a glance at him, turning around continuing walking forward,
"Tour performances are too many. Having had how many audience mbers I already can't rember clearly. However Master usually will leave behind a mark on the bodies of audience mbers with aptitude. Seen or not seen before, he should know."
Chen Ling temporarily hid this doubt at the bottom of his heart. If the theatrical troupe he encountered in those years, truly was the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path's sect, then fate is truly too wonderful.
The two people just like this walked for a long ti in the Gray World. Perhaps because of Chen Ling's red clothes, although on the road encountered quite a few weird high-rank Calamities, but didn't suffer from the attack of any single Calamity.
Chen Ling still carried injuries on his body, therefore walked not fast. Although King of Clubs never turned her head, but her pace from beginning to end maintained consistency with Chen Ling.
One black one red two figures walked in the Gray World. Waiting until sunset ti, within Chen Ling's field of vision finally saw so different things...
That was a mountain.
A sharp and lonely mountain abruptly pulled up from the flat ground.
The surrounding landform was incomparably flat, even dirt mounds didn't have a few. Therefore the appearance of this lone mountain was especially eye-catching. On its body couldn't see a trace of vegetation. Only all kinds of bizarrely shaped stones towering on it, incompatible with the surrounding environnt.
King of Clubs stopped her footsteps in front of the mountain.
"Here... is exactly the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path?" Chen Ling looked at the bare mountain peak in front of his eyes, always feeling it wasn't quite the sa as the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path in his imagination.
"No, this is Clown Peak. You can understand it as the 'door' of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path." King of Clubs calmly opened her mouth, "Anyone wanting to enter the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, all need to flip over this mountain peak. Fifth Brother is right here."
"Fifth Brother..."
Inside the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path altogether there are five senior and junior brothers. This Fifth Brother should exactly be the youngest one. However such an important task of guarding the gate of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, unexpectedly only handed over to the youngest Little Junior Brother? In Chen Ling's heart there was so doubt.
"Wait a bit going up, then can see him. Although appearance is sowhat... but natural disposition is pure and good."
"Didn't he go to tour perform together with the other people?"
"Fifth Brother has innate defects, cannot open his mouth to speak. Moreover he still has such an important task as guarding the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, almost never left here before."
Chen Ling thoughtfully nodded.
He followed behind King of Clubs, along the mountain road climbing upwards. Due to not having experienced artificial developnt, basically were all extrely steep and dangerous roads. Fortunately with Chen Ling's current skills, climbing a mountain was still a piece of cake.
Roughly a dozen minutes, the two people then arrived at the peak of Clown Peak.
Sa as what was seen below the mountain, the mountain top also didn't have any vegetation existing. Between the bare rocks, only a dilapidated and crude stone house stood.
At this mont a short and small figure was currently sitting on the stone ground at the doorway. In front of him placed a dozen marble-sized stones. He single-handedly propped his large head, single-handedly tossing the stones in his hand, like seriously pondering sothing.
Seemingly hearing footsteps transmitting over, his body slightly trembled, doubtfully turning his head looking over...
"Fifth Brother."
On the face of King of Clubs walking face to face, rarely surfaced a sar of faint smile.
Seeing King of Clubs, his pitch-black eyes exactly like jewels generally lit up. Only until this ti, Chen Ling then saw clearly his appearance.
His stature was very short, about the sa height as an ordinary child. But his age wasn't small. Looking from afar like a shrunken Little Old Man, or rather speaking a Dwarf. Wrinkled up facial features almost fast shrinking together gave people a kind of inexplicable thrilling and scary feeling...
On his nose, there was a patch of White Ash, almost covering his half a face. Letting the originally ugly and weird face have an extra portion of cody.
The instant seeing this face, Chen Ling then guessed his identity:
Clown.
