The snow in the village was very firm, unlike in the snowfield where every step left a deep footprint, it was no different from mud. Lu Ping and the other two followed Eighth Elder and Ying Xiao, gradually walking into the depths of the village. Lu Ping spread out his hearing ability, and sensed that people were gradually surrounding them. Morin, through his own observation, also discovered this situation.
"Something's wrong, isn't it?" Morin leaned close to Lu Ping and whispered.
Before Lu Ping could answer, Ying Xiao, who was walking in front, also discovered this situation, and quickened his steps to the side of Eighth Elder. He did not whisper like Morin, but directly shouted, "Eighth Elder, what is the meaning of this?"
Eighth Elder looked back at Lu Ping and the other two, and said indifferently, "If they are sincere friends, this is still a threat, right?"
"Not friends is not a threat." Lu Ping said.
"En?" Eighth Elder heard this and laughed, looked at Ying Xiao and said, "Do the youngsters in the pass all have such big words?"
"He is not a person who will talk big." Ying Xiao said.
"Oh?" When Eighth Elder heard this, he could not help but look at Lu Ping, the walking stick in his hand suddenly pointed to the sky. Lu Ping immediately sensed that the number of people watching them had doubled, and there was no longer any concealment like before.
"What about now?" Eighth Elder said.
Lu Ping slightly hesitated, but his honest eyes looked at Morin.
"Alright, you don't need to say anything." Morin instantly understood, and was too lazy to be depressed, he was already used to it.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting." Eighth Elder smiled, his expression was a little more amiable than when they first met, and pointed to an ice house in front, "Three young friends, please come in."
Lu Ping nodded, and the three walked forward. After entering the ice house, they discovered that there was a ladder in front of them. The ice house was divided into two levels, the lower level was just a pile of things, and there were no daily necessities.
"Are we going up?" Lu Ping turned around and asked.
"Yes, the ground is too cold, so we have to live on higher ground," Ying Xiao explained.
"Oh." After saying that, Lu Ping was the first to climb up. He followed Su Tang and Morin. When they reached the second floor, they looked around curiously. He discovered that the room was actually quite spacious. There was even a stove in the middle of the room. Although it didn't make the room as warm as spring, it was still much more comfortable than the bitter cold outside. A young girl about the same age as them was sitting in the corner of the room. She was slightly surprised to see three strangers coming up one after another, but she did not panic. After the three of them saw her, they looked around the house again, only to find that there was no furniture like a bench or bed in the house.
Eighth Clan Elder and Ying Xiao also went up to the second floor, while the child, Xiao Zhi, who was held by Eighth Clan Elder, had run off to play somewhere. When the little girl saw the two of them, she immediately smiled and called out, "Grandpa." She stood up.
"We have guests. Bring some hot water," the Eighth Elder said.
"Yes." The little girl went to busy herself. Eighth Clan Elder walked to the short square table in the room, knelt down and sat on the main seat. Ying Xiao, who was beside him, also knelt down on the right side of the square table. Lu Ping and the other two followed suit and knelt down on the other side of the square table.
"The weather is cold, please drink some hot water first," the Eighth Clan Elder said. The little girl had already brought three cups of water and gave one cup to each of Lu Ping and the other two.
"Thank you." Lu Ping nodded. Although he was not thirsty, he still picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down. Su Tang was the same as him. Only Morin, who had a hard time along the way, finally saw something hot, hugged the cup and refused to let go.
Eighth Clan Elder looked at him and smiled, "Without a Soul of Strength, it is indeed more difficult."
Morin was surprised. He did not have a Soul of Force, but most practitioners would only think that his Soul of Force was extremely poor. Only Wen Gecheng, who possessed the special ability of Seamless Microscopy, could tell that he did not have a Soul of Force. This old man from the Dark Academy in front of him actually had such an ability?
But the Eighth Clan Elder's gaze was already on Su Tang, "This young friend has a very strong Soul of Strength. May I ask, is it a Blood Strength Immortal?"
"Yes." Su Tang nodded, but did not say anything else.
"But this young friend, I can't tell. Why do I feel that you don't look like a human?" The Eighth Clan Elder squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Ping.
"That's not wrong." Morin muttered. Lu Ping followed the Eighth Clan Elder's words, "Then what does he look like?"
"Like a Divine Weapon," the Eighth Clan Elder said.
"Why do you say that?" Lu Ping asked.
"Hidden without revealing, hidden without revealing. Isn't this like a Divine Weapon? Without the Soul of Strength, who would know how sharp it is? "The Eighth Clan Elder said.
"But the strongest is still the Soul of Strength," Lu Ping said.
"Aren't you the same?" The Eighth Clan Elder smiled.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, but did not say anything else. He raised his cup and took another sip.
"Tell me, why did the three of you come here?" The Eighth Clan Elder said.
"They want to find the Four Paths," Ying Xiao answered for the three of them.
"Could it be that we have clues to the Four Paths?" The Eighth Clan Elder asked.
The three of them looked at Ying Xiao. Ying Xiao could only answer again, "They think that the Divine Medicine I found earlier is a clue."
"The medicine came from the Four Paths?" The Eighth Clan Elder said.
"Maybe." This time, it was Lu Ping who answered.
"So I plan to bring them there to take a look. Anyway, there is no use there now." Ying Xiao said.
"So after finding the Four Paths, what are you going to do?" The Eighth Clan Elder looked at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Rob, kill."
"You are the scouts for the Four Schools?" The Eighth Clan Elder's gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Our goal is indeed the same. There are some other reasons why we did not go with them." Lu Ping said.
"This is also the reason why you are in disguise?" The Eighth Clan Elder asked.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"Rubbish." Beside him, Molin rubbed his face indignantly. Draconis's mask was seen through by Leng Qing as soon as they arrived at Yanmen Town. There were usually two levels to seeing through the mask. The first level was to see through the disguise, but not the true appearance. The second level was to see through the disguise and see the true appearance under the disguise. Leng Qing was able to recognize Lu Ping. It was no different from seeing through his true appearance. The Eighth Clan Elder in front of them could also see through their disguise, but he was not sure if he could see through their true appearance. But Draconis's mask was not very useful in the Dark Academy. This point could be confirmed.
"Let's say, if you finish the task before us, will the four academies retreat just like that?" the Eighth Elder said.
"This … I am not sure. I did not negotiate with them." Lu Ping said.
The Eighth Clan Elder began to ponder. Morin finally could not help but ask after a while, "It looks like you have no intention of becoming enemies with the Four Schools. Why don't you just find a chance to sit down and talk? It has been so long, what hatred do you still have?"
