At this moment, Lu Yaoyao was still immersed in the fun of playing Go. She never expected that these seemingly simple black and white pieces could construct such a thrilling game of chase and block.
But she quickly collected herself and said, "Alright, leave it to me."
Zhou Qing nodded and left.
As he approached the latrine, he first cautiously observed his surroundings, ensuring there was nothing unusual. Then he quickly pushed aside the stone block used for covering and leapt down without hesitation.
When he arrived under the main pool with the moonlight stone, he found the array disc was still there, not even a single red dot on it.
This discovery filled him with joy.
But soon he began to worry. The array disc being there meant the Second Grandfather hadn’t come out yet.
Could he have been trapped again?
After a brief hesitation, he first wiped away the words left yesterday and then headed deeper inside.
Upon reaching the end of the passage, the five-colored altar lay there quietly, and the eight top-grade spirit stones in it had been completely consumed, turning to powder.
It seemed that a single transmission consumed an extraordinary amount of energy.
How would the Second Grandfather return?
After all, this seemed like a one-way ticket.
Taking advantage of this, Zhou decided to conduct an identification.
[Five-Colored Transmission Array: The pinnacle of array formations is divided into nine colors, with one color being the weakest and nine colors the strongest. This is an exquisitely arranged five-colored transmission array, capable of long-distance transmission and easily penetrating many barriers and restrictions, extremely rare.]
Seeing the feedback, Zhou was stunned and reached out to swipe upwards, hoping for more information.
Clearly, there was no more content, leaving him a bit disappointed.
All I want to know is, how to come back after entering?
It seems it’s a matter of luck each time. Whether the identified information can solve the current problem is uncertain.
Moreover, he hadn’t realized the array formations were divided into nine colors.
Like the protection and sound insulation restrictions at his residence, they never seemed to have any color.
By this calculation, this altar-colored array must be worth a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Zhou couldn’t help but rub his hands excitedly, but soon shook his head. If he took this thing, it would definitely impact his height.
Because when the Second Grandfather comes out, he’ll break his legs.
Then he sat down beside, quietly waiting.
Meanwhile, Lu Yaoyao, still playing Go, soon saw Li Daoxuan and He Han walking over together.
"Where’s Zhou? Didn’t I hear he was here?" The two looked around curiously and asked.
Lu Yaoyao looked at them, unable to help but mutter in her heart, "I knew Master wouldn’t be at ease."
But on the surface, she could only act casually and lied, "He left early. Do you two have something important?"
Li Daoxuan and He Han smiled slightly and said, "It’s nothing major, just passing by. Why are you playing Go alone? This game seems wrong."
Saying so, they looked down at the board.
Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to stand up, saying, "Just playing randomly. Brothers, you wander around. I’m suddenly feeling tired and want to rest."
As she spoke, she yawned and acted very exhausted.
The two exchanged glances, not wanting to disturb her further.
"Alright then, you rest first. We were just passing by. We’ll be off." The two politely said goodbye and left.
Seeing them leave, Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to her room.
With a "bang," she closed the door, quickly taking out her identity token and sending a message.
[Brother Zhou, how’s it going? My senior and second senior just came by, but I sent them away.]
In the tunnel, Zhou Qing, about to respond to the message, suddenly noticed the five-colored altar shaking violently without warning.
He was startled, quickly stood up, and stared at the altar.
Then he saw a figure slowly appear on the altar.
Who but the Second Grandfather.
At this moment, he looked as messy as when he was teleported away yesterday, muttering something under his breath.
"Senior!" Seeing the Second Grandfather, Zhou Qing was excited.
The Second Grandfather, seeing Zhou Qing, leapt smoothly from the altar to the ground.
"How long was I gone?" The first thing the Second Grandfather asked upon landing was the time.
Zhou Qing quickly replied, "A day and a night!"
"Hmm, about as I estimated. You stayed here the whole time?" The Second Grandfather casually asked while patting dust off himself.
Zhou Qing nodded without hesitation, his face not flushed, his heart not beating fast, "I am a trustworthy person. Since you told me to stay here, I didn’t leave for a moment."
The Second Grandfather couldn’t help but laugh, "Hmm, whether you’re trustworthy I don’t know. I only know you were eyeing the things under the main pool. Have they left?"
Zhou Qing became enthusiastic, quickly replying, "They’ve all left, no one’s here now."
"Good, I’ll retrieve it for you. I have other matters to handle!"
The Second Grandfather said no more, heading straight ahead.
