Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Being Too Cautious

Translator: 549690339

However, by chance, they encountered Master Yuan Shan.

Master Yuan Shan. (From Chapter 124)

He was the master who blocked their way when He Song and the others first entered the Thick Earth Sect.

At that time, there was some unpleasantness between Master Yuan Shan and Master Qingy Yue.

However, the previous incidents were mainly due to the open and secret struggles between the two factions.

Now that the two factions have started to cooperate, the previous estrangement has not disappeared completely, but it has eased a lot.

At least.

Seeing that they were all fellow disciples, the masters from the two factions occasionally talked when they met each other, and their relationship was no longer as stiff as before.

However.

It was when Wei Fan met Master Yuan Shan.

Master Yuan Shan began talking to Wei Fan about He Song’s matters.

“Master Cheng Fu, I know that you are good friends with Master Duan Hun and the little fellow named He Song, and I envy the friendship between the three of you when I hear about it.”

“There are some things that are not easy to say, but if you run into that little fellow named He Song in the future, please tell him.”

“If there is an urgent matter in the future and he wants to leave the sect, just tell me.”

“It’s because of his close relationship with the two of you that he doesn’t betray the sect and leave. If it were someone else, perhaps they would have been caught as a spy and interrogated by now.”

As he spoke, Master Yuan Shan shook his head and looked quite helpless at the time.

He, along with several other Foundation Establishment Masters, were ordered to guard the mountain gate.

By chance, he discovered that He Song was using Earth Tunneling to leave the sect from the ground.

Had he not met He Song before, and known that He Song was good friends with Wei Fan and Meng Guan, and that the Sect Leader highly valued He Song and even gave him two Foundation Establishment Elixirs to help him break through to the Foundation Establishment stage,

he would have caught He Song on the spot and tortured him to find out his intentions for leaving the sect.

It was only because He Song’s identity was special and he was closely connected to the two Foundation Establishment Masters within the sect that he saw no reason for leaving the sect. As a result, Master Yuan Shan decided to

turn a blind eye.

He didn’t expose He Song for that reason.

However, after meeting Wei Fan this time and pondering over it, Master Yuan Shan decided to tell Wei Fan about it.

He wanted Wei Fan to tell He Song.

If he wanted to leave the sect in the future, he only needed to tell him, and he wouldn’t have to leave through Earth Tunneling.

Wei Fan was stunned when he heard this.

After a long silence, he finally understood.

No wonder he couldn’t find He Song in the Thick Earth Sect.

It turned out that He Song had already left the sect.

But… the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect are at war now, so why would He Song leave the sect at this time?

If it were not for their friendship of several decades, perhaps Wei Fan would have doubted He Song’s motives.

However, it was precisely because of this.

Master Yuan Shan knew about the relationship between He Song and Wei Fan and Meng Guan, so he didn’t suspect anything.

If it were someone else, they would have probably been caught and tortured when discovered leaving the sect using Earth Tunneling.

Immediately, Wei Fan smiled and promised.

And he secretly made a decision in his heart.

He planned to talk to He Song about this matter after he returned to the sect.

That’s why, as soon as He Song arrived, Wei Fan reminded him to be careful.

However, He Song was not aware of this situation at the moment.

Nor did he know.

That when he left the sect using Earth Tunneling, Master Yuan Shan had discovered him and had told Wei Fan about it.

“Well, thank you for the reminder, Wei. I will certainly be more careful in the future.”

He Song nodded to Wei Fan and expressed his gratitude.

He would naturally pay close attention to his own safety, even without Wei Fan’s words, He Song would have done so.

But now that Wei Fan had brought it up.

He Song could only show gratitude with a sentence in order to reassure Wei Fan.

Seeing this, Wei Fan didn’t say much either, and just took He Song into the cave mansion.

Inside the cave mansion.

Wei Fan and He Song sat face to face.

In front of the two, a pot of hot tea was sending out a rich fragrance.

“When I went to find friends today, do you know who I met in the Thick Earth Sect?”

After ushering He Song into the cave mansion, Wei Fan remembered what he had heard that day and asked immediately.

As he spoke.

Before He Song could reply, Wei Fan mentioned a name.

“Master Yuan Shan.”

After saying it, seeing the confusion on He Song’s face, a smile appeared on Wei Fan’s face.

“Speaking of which, this Master Yuan Shan has quite a fate with us.”

“When we had just entered the Thick Earth Sect, the master who stopped us was him.”

“Today, I met him and learned a very interesting matter.”

Looking at He Song, Wei Fan stopped talking, as if waiting for He Song to ask him.

But how could He Song not know his friend’s character after being friends for decades?

Upon seeing this.

He Song stared at his nose and breathed evenly, pretending he knew nothing, and silently sipped his tea.

On the side.

Seeing that He Song didn’t fall for it, Wei Fan waited for a while and continued to speak.

He didn’t wait for He Song to ask a question.

“Master Yuan Shan said that while he was guarding the mountain gate, he accidentally discovered a little fish swimming under his divine sense’s coverage,”

“Dear friend, do you know that there is a kind of little fish that can move in the ground?”

At this point, Wei Fan did not speak. He just looked at He Song, as if he wanted to watch He Song more closely before leaving. However, upon hearing Wei Fan say this, He Song’s eyes flashed with vigilance.

What kind of fish can travel in the ground?

Could it be that Master Yuan Shan, who was guarding the mountain gate, accidentally discovered him using Earth Tunneling to leave the mountain gate?

Otherwise, Wei Fan wouldn’t possibly hear any interesting stories from Master Yuan Shan when they met.

The two of them had never met before, and they had no leisurely time to chat.

Moreover, Wei his demeanor at the moment, it seemed as if he wanted to gauge He Song’s reaction. He Song gradually had a bottom line in his heart.

It seems that,

It was when he accidentally used Earth Tunneling to leave the sect one of those times when Yuan Shan discovered him.

But the number of times Yuan Shan discovered him should be just once.

If it were several times, Wei Fan would definitely say that the little fish was swimming around underground, not just swimming by once.

In this case,

He Song’s use of his Earth Tunneling strategy was completely correct.

Even a Foundation Establishment Realm Master’s divine sense could only discover him by chance for one time.

And he didn’t reduce the number of times he left the sect over these years.

There were not many times when he left the sect, but it was more than a dozen times at least.

But even so, he was discovered only once.

And that was when he was still using the ordinary Earth Tunneling Skill, which was when he was discovered.

Now,

When He Song goes out, he basically uses the Mountain Escaping Skill.

The Mountain Escaping Skill can tunnel tens of meters deep into the earth.

Even the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment Realm Master might not be able to probe tens of meters deep into the ground, right?

In such a case, although He Song knew that he was discovered by Yuan Shan once when he left the sect, he remained unflustered.

If nothing happened when he was discovered, nothing would happen in the future.

He had already exchanged his tactics; even if he tunneled under Yuan Shan’s feet every day from now on, Yuan Shan might not notice him.

Thinking about this, He Song looked at Wei Fan with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

His good friend had no problems anywhere else.

But when it came to him and Meng Guan, Wei Fan always liked to use riddles.

However, Wei Fan was completely different when facing others and when facing He Song or Meng Guan.

Just like when He Song asked Wei Fan to kill Chen Zhou, Wei Fan didn’t hesitate to chase after him and strike.

He even almost killed Meng Guan, who had just emerged from the Red Spirit Gold Mine.

Fortunately, Meng Guan was quite witty at the time and immediately shouted “Wei” to save his life.

Now, looking at Wei Fan,

He Song couldn’t even connect the two Wei Fan with different personalities.

But after decades of getting along, He Song knew that this was the real Wei

Fan.

Being resolute and decisive with outsiders is him.

Being affectionate and brotherly on the inside is also him.

They are contradicting, but they belong to the same person.

“I haven’t seen a fish moving in the ground, but a few years ago, I learned an Earth Tunneling Skill that allows me to travel underground.”

He shook his head without revealing his secret. Instead, he volunteered a little token of information under Wei Fan’s brightening gaze.

That’s right.

Now, the Earth Tunneling Skill is just a small token for He Song, not even a trump card.

At this moment, He Song’s Earth Tunneling Skill is not an ordinary one but the Mountain Escaping Skill.

Since ordinary Earth Tunneling has already been exposed, and Yuan Shan and Wei Fan should already know, why not confess it?

Not only would it make Wei Fan happy, but it could also hide his true trump card, the Mountain Escaping Skill.

So, why not?

“Ahem, Master Yuan Shan asked me to tell you that if you want to leave the sect in the future, just let him know, and you don’t need to use Earth Tunneling Skill anymore.”

“Speaking of it, you haven’t changed your cautious nature in the past few decades.”

“You even need to use Earth Tunneling Skill to leave the sect. You won’t use Earth Tunneling Skill to travel when you go out, will you?”

After conveying Yuan Shan’s message to He Song, Wei Fan looked at He Song with a touch of helplessness in his eyes. To him,

He Song was indeed too cautious.

Initially, He Song was at the Qi Refining Early Stage, and he couldn’t beat anyone, so being cautious was understandable.

When He Song was at the Qi-refining mid stage, he couldn’t beat someone at the Qi-refining late stage, so being cautious was also understandable.

But now, He Song’s cultivation had reached the Qi-refining late stage, and he had two Foundation Establishment Realm friends. Being so cautious seemed unreasonable, right?

You have backers.

Two Foundation Establishment Realm Masters.

If you’re still so cautious, do you look down on your two brothers?

Back then, he was itching to take action after reaching the Qi-refining late stage, but he couldn’t find an opportunity while being in the Immortal Pavilion.

The only time he took action was when He Song asked him to kill Chen Zhou.
