Yan Ketao asked curiously, "Can I go up and have a look?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jingtang turned around at the entrance of the cave, and Shen Moming also stared intently at Yan Ketao's facial reaction.
However, Wu Jinliang casually waved his hand and said, "We're all friends here. Feel free to look around. Co on."
Saying this, he jumped up first, leading the way.
Yan Ketao imdiately followed. Once at the top, he indeed found a small space surrounded by little windows ant for observation.
He looked very carefully and even checked each window before asking in confusion, "These small windows are fine for watching from, but how do you pass ssages through them?"
Wu Jinliang said, "Naturally, your Elder Jin would bring the ssages over. When he strolls over here, or pretends to urinate while secretly slipping the ssage into this spot when no one is paying attention, we'd pick it up and bring it back to your little master and the others."
After all, having spent quite so ti together, he knew that they referred to the little master as such in the presence of Gu Lianni and simply 'little master' behind her back.
Sound traveled quite well inside the cave; hearing this, Shen Moming and Chu Jingtang, guarding the entrance, looked at each other, not knowing what that big silly fellow above was babbling about, and he even sohow managed to expose Elder Jin.
Yan Ketao, however, suddenly realized and let out an "Oh," understanding the situation. He found a hole where he could see the main peak and peering at the people above, he wondered, "Elder Jin is sitting up there; where does he get so many Divine Fire clues?"
Wu Jinliang, resting his arm on his shoulder, chuckled and said, "Brother Yan, that's the secret. If you want to know, go ask that woman Gu Lianni. If she doesn't approve, I really shouldn't say either. You have to understand that; otherwise, she'll co after ."
"Brother Wu, saying 'that woman' sounds too harsh. Please be more cautious with your words," Yan Ketao shifted his body, shaking off Wu's arm used as a pillow, and advised him seriously, adopting a principled stance.
Wu Jinliang just shrugged nonchalantly and said, "What's the big deal? She is a woman. We talk about it behind her back; we don't say it to her face. Aren't you all calling her 'little' behind her back anyway? Which do you think would upset her more, calling her 'woman' or calling her 'little'? Take a guess?"
Yan Ketao hastily waved his hand in defense and said, "Brother Wu, you can't just say whatever you want. Our use of 'little' doesn't carry the sa aning as your 'little.'"
Wu Jinliang then slapped him hard on the back, almost as if hitting him, "What are you thinking? I'm just making a comparison. I'm not blind. I know she's not little. It's just a bit of harmless banter behind soone's back—no need to tattle, right? Everyone talks; who doesn't know how to tattle? I still have witnesses here."
"Alright, alright, Brother Wu, let's drop it. Let's not talk about this," Yan Ketao quickly gestured for a halt, not wanting to engage in pointless banter, as this conversation could go on endlessly.
Listeners like Shen Moming and Chu Jingtang below couldn't help but crack a smile at the absurd discussion, not forgetting to sneak so invigorating goat ice into their mouths.
"Fine, we won't talk about it," Wu Jinliang said casually, showing an easygoing air.
Yan Ketao looked around so more, but finding nothing else of note, he then went down.
After Wu Jinliang ca down, he passed by Shen Moming, giving him a sidelong glance; understanding the cue, Shen Moming imdiately went up the established path to continue monitoring the surroundings.
Among the group, though Wu Jinliang had the lowest cultivation, only at the High Martial Small Success Realm, everyone seed accustod to following his command.
The key point was that Shi Chun often entrusted him with responsibilities, and he had never ssed up.
Chu Jingtang continued to stand guard at the entrance.
"Take a break," Wu Jinliang gestured for the newcor to relax, then he himself sat down cross-legged.
Yan Ketao imitated others.
After a while, he couldn't resist asking, "Brother Wu, do you know where our n are now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jingtang turned his head back to look at him again.
Wu Jinliang said indifferently, "Isn't that obvious? If we didn't know, how could we be running around making contact? Just wait patiently, and once there is new news, I'll take you back to et up with our n."
"My thanks," Yan Ketao replied politely.
Then, the cave beca quiet again, the wind outside occasionally whooshing, and inside there were sounds of changing the air with ice sheep from ti to ti.
Their ice sheep, compared to when they ca in, had shrunk a lot.
So this thing, no matter how many you bring, doesn't help much as they gradually lt. As long as you don't lose them, one is enough.
This also ant that once they failed to leave the Divine Fire Domain in ti, those trapped here would hardly survive for long.
After a while, Yan Ketao broke the silence again, "Brother Wu, how long do you estimate we will have to wait for new news?"
Wu Jinliang replied, "It's uncertain, the decision is not in our hands, it depends on how quickly or slowly the news cos. It may take days if it's slow."
Yan Ketao sighed, "My brothers have not seen for a long ti, they must be worried, and I feel uneasy. Sitting here is unsettling. Why don't you tell where the eting point is, Brother Wu? I will go back and find them first."
"Don't worry, if you could get lost and not find your way, it would an you're not that important and nobody is worried about you. Just stay here and be at ease," Wu Jinliang said as he stood up, disregarded him, and walked to the cave entrance to speak to Chu Jingtang, "Change shifts, take a rest."
Chu Jingtang, who was turning his head thinking he was not tired, t Wu Jinliang's persistent gaze, nodded in agreent, and withdrew from the entrance to ditate and rest.
After carefully observing the outside for a while, Wu Jinliang casually plucked a stone from the cave wall.
After waiting left and right when no one was paying attention, he suddenly threw the stone out, landing outside with a crackling roll down the slope.
With that sound, as the people in the cave looked out, Wu Jinliang had already swiftly dashed back in, ascended the straight passage above quickly, and whispered to Shen Moming who was guarding above, "Keep the lower section secure, don't let him co up."
Shen Moming, confused but, still quickly went down, just to et Yan Ketao coming up to check the situation, blocked the cave wall with his legs apart, gesturing to him, and stopped him.
Yan Ketao had no choice but to return to the ground, curiously watching above.
Chu Jingtang, also curious, ca over, wondering what the big guy was up to.
After a while, Wu Jinliang ca down from above and said to Chu Jingtang, "The ssage has arrived, you go run a trip."
Chu Jingtang looked at his expression for a mont and slowly nodded, "Okay."
Wu Jinliang's gaze then touched Yan Ketao nearby and exclaid, "Isn't there a ready person here? Brother Yan just wanted to go back. Okay, Old Chu, no need for you to run, let Brother Yan carry the ssage. You wouldn't even refuse to help with such a small favor, would you?"
