Chapter 944: No need for words, one of us! (Please subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, trying his best to appear calm, and smiled, "Well, everyone, why are you all staring at me?"
As soon as he said this, one of the Wei Family Disciples fixed his gaze on Xu Sheng and narrowed his eyes, "How come I do not seem to recall seeing you in the team before?"
Another disciple also looked at him skeptically, touching his chin, "Hmm! Me too! Disciples that can enter the Secret Realm are mostly familiar to some extent, but I should have remembered such a handsome disciple like you!"
"You all noticed as well? I also felt something was off,"
"I say, you couldn't possibly be someone from another clan who snuck in, could you?"
In an instant, the looks the Wei Family Disciples gave Xu Sheng changed—wary, angry, and confused…
Xu Sheng laughed lightly, "You all jest. How could I possibly be someone from another clan?"
However, such a perfunctory response was hardly likely to put these Wei Family Disciples at ease; they all coldly demanded, "Speak up, who are you really?"
"If you do not speak now, do not blame us for taking action! It is a common thing for disciples to fall in the Secret Realm!"
"Hmph! I want to see what kind of story you can come up with!"
Faced with these questions, Xu Sheng could only sigh helplessly…"
On his face appeared a touch of world-weary color as he said, "Actually, I have always been in the previous Secret Realms, but I was ordered by the Family Head to infiltrate other clans and stay hidden, all for the purpose of protecting you all at crucial times!"
"If you disciples still do not believe me, then forget it, I will just leave this place…"
Internally, however, he was secretly complaining, "What kind of gods are these people, to actually observe the disciples who participate in the Secret Realm so carefully!"
These sincere words, coupled with his world-weary and downcast appearance, caused a moment of hesitation in the hearts of the Wei Family Disciples…
An idea naturally surfaced in their minds, could he really be an undercover agent sent by the Family Head to other clans?
After a prolonged silence, one of the Wei Family Disciples choked up a bit and said, "This… he seems to be telling the truth, that expression doesn't look feigned at all!"
"It seems we really misunderstood him. Considering the personality of the Family Head, it is very likely he would do such a thing!"
"Yes! I am also willing to believe him. With such an outstanding face of his, he would hardly arouse suspicion in other clans!"
As more and more Wei Family Disciples chose to believe Xu Sheng, their gaze towards him became less hostile, treating him as one of their own!
Xu Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and seriously changed the subject, "Thank you all for trusting me, but we should move quickly, otherwise all the good items will be snatched up by disciples from other clans!"
Seeing his words, the last bit of doubt in the hearts of the Wei Family Disciples instantly dissipated…
A man like him, who considered the well-being of his own people even when facing suspicion…
No need to say more!
He is definitely one of us!
"That's right! Let's hurry up and set off, lest all the good stuff be taken by others!"
"The Family Head warned us to be careful of the other two major clans, they may join forces! If we encounter them, we might not be their match."
Suddenly, one disciple's eyes brightened with delight, "Right, since this brother has participated in the Secret Realm during his undercover time, he must be very familiar with the routes of the other two clans!"
After a pause, he added, "From now on, we'll rely on you to lead us, to help Wei Family Disciples avoid encountering people from the other two clans as much as possible!"
This immediately made all the Wei Family Disciples look at Xu Sheng with eyes full of hope…
Indeed, having a disciple who has been an undercover agent in other clans lead the way could help them avoid those clans, couldn't it?
It was like a timely help during a snowstorm!
Presumably, their Family Head thought the same, which is why they discreetly placed this man into the team...
Xu Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "This... isn't too good, is it?"
He didn't have a clue!
He was completely unfamiliar with this Secret Realm!
The disciple who had just made the suggestion thought Xu Sheng was being modest, and with an even firmer tone, replied, "There's nothing bad about it! We all are willing to trust you!"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng gave the other Wei Family Disciples a glance with his dark eyes, feeling the strong sense of trust they expressed...
After coughing, he spoke up, "Well... alright, then I will lead the way! The whole team must be careful and not emit any Spirit Force Fluctuation!"
Seeing Xu Sheng agree to lead, the faces of the other disciples brightened, and they excitedly replied, "Understood."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Sheng led the Wei Family Disciples deeper into the cave ahead...
Before long, three identical forks in the road appeared before his eyes...
One of the Wei Family Disciples looked at Xu Sheng quizzically and asked, "Brother, which way do we take?"
Xu Sheng stroked his chin in thought and said, "Hmm... based on my experience, the other two clans are very likely to take the middle fork!"
The words he blurted out immediately sparked a glint in the eyes of these Wei Family Disciples!
Indeed, choosing him to lead was the right decision!
Suddenly, Xu Sheng felt that taking either the left or right fork could very likely lead to meeting the other two clans...
Thereupon, covering his mouth to cough, he said, "Cough cough... However, I think the other two clans might also realize this and enter through the left and right forks! This is to catch us off guard!"
Just a single sentence, and once again deepened his impression in the hearts of these Wei Family Disciples!
Worthy of the man their Family Head brought in to assist them, he had analyzed the problem so thoroughly, not making hasty decisions!!
Hearing Xu Sheng say this, one of the Wei Family Disciples who trusted him unconditionally said earnestly, "Okay, then we'll take the middle one!"
Before he could finish, Xu Sheng interrupted him again...
"No! We'll take the left one!"
The Wei Family Disciple who had just spoken showed a puzzled look on his face, "?????"
The other Wei Family disciples ready to move were again stunned, with confused expressions on their faces, not understanding Xu Sheng's decision...
Didn't he just say that taking the middle one would have less chance of encountering disciples from the other two major clans?
Why suddenly change his mind?
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, and he said unflinchingly, "Let's not forget that our Wei Family is now the number one clan. If we only encounter disciples from one of the clans, how could we fear them?"
This sentence made the blood of all the Wei Family Disciples present boil...
"Right! Why should we Wei Family be afraid of them? Maybe they're hiding from us too!"
"Exactly, exactly, our Wei Family's strength is the strongest!"
"Since this brother says to take the left, then we'll take the left! Maybe we'll even be able to wipe out the disciples from the Lin Family or the Xu Family in advance!"
Following that, the group of Wei Family Disciples quickly entered the fork on the right, led by Xu Sheng...
