First Summoner

The young man raised his hand and hugged the old man back, chuckling, "Long time no see, District Master."

Hearing this title, the white-haired old man immediately showed dissatisfaction and glared at the young man in pretended anger.

"It's really too strange for you to call me like that!"

As he said this, the old man took the boy's arm and enthusiastically wanted to take him into the First District Lord's Mansion, "Come in, come in."

"Wait." The boy smiled helplessly, "My friend is still outside the door."

Hearing this, the old man turned to look at the young men standing outside the District Lord's Mansion. He looked surprised, raised his head and glanced at the young man, and asked vigilantly: "Is this really your friend?"

"Ah."

"Is it credible?" The old man frowned and asked the young man for confirmation again.

The boy nodded and smiled, "It's credible."

"That's good!" The old man relaxed his guard a little. He looked up at the young men and saw through their cultivation at a glance. They had only just broken through to the Ju Yuan Realm...

They are so weak, aren’t they seeking death by coming to the Dark World?

The old man smiled and said, "Since you are all Ah Chu's friends, then come in and be my guest."

The boy also looked at them with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Come on."

At this moment, they looked at each other, then bowed to the old man as a junior and walked closer.

The old man nodded slightly, and he held the boy's arm, "Let's talk inside, there are too many people outside."

"it is good."

District Lord’s Mansion, in the lobby.

The old man sat on a high seat, looking down at the seven young men below.

The old man waved kindly at the young man wearing half a silver mask.

The young man walked closer, stood beside him, and formally introduced them: "Grandpa, these six are all my friends."

The old man nodded.

The young man then introduced the six people below him, "This is my grandfather, the head of the First District, Zhai Yuanzhong."

The six people were not shocked when they heard this, because before coming, Wen Yuchu had already mentioned to them his relationship with the Lord of the First District.

They stepped forward and raised their hands in a bow.

"I have met Senior Zhai."

Seeing them salute, Zhai Yuanzhong smiled and nodded, "Okay. If you don't mind, could you introduce yourselves, because I also want to meet Ah Chu's friends."

"Natural energy."

The beautiful girl smiled and said, "Senior Zhai, we are both from the Western Region of Guiyuan Continent. We are friends of Brother Yuchu. I am the daughter of the Lord of Western Region City, Yu Changying."

"Tian Fang Sect, Pei Su."

"Xiao Zechuan."

"Jiang Xianyue."

"Chi Yue."

"I am the successor of the Spiritual Thread, Zhuge Youlin!"

Zhai Yuanzhong raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the red-haired boy, and after sizing him up, he thought to himself, this boy is really arrogant, he even dares to call himself "young master" in front of him.

Zhai Yuanzhong smiled and said, "You must be tired after coming here. I have already asked someone to arrange a guest room for you. You can stay in the mansion first."

His attitude was not enthusiastic, but he was not deliberately cold either.

"Thank you, Senior Zhai." Yu Changying responded with a smile.

Before they left the lobby, they glanced at Wen Yuchu.

Wen Yuchu smiled calmly.

After they left, Zhai Yuanzhong suddenly stood up, impatiently reached out to pull Wen Yuchu and went to the study.

In the study, Zhai Yuanzhong's expression became extremely serious. He asked, "Achu, why did you come to the dark world?"

"Grandpa, Achu has something to ask you." Wen Yuchu said.

"What's the matter?"

Wen Yuchu said slowly: "I have a friend who was ambushed and teleported to the dark world. Her whereabouts are still unknown, so I want grandpa to help me find her whereabouts."

Zhai Yuanzhong's expression gradually turned cold, and he stared at Wen Yuchu with dissatisfaction.

"Do you know that it is very dangerous for you to come to the Dark Realm? You can send someone to convey the message to me, but you can't risk your life and come here!"

Wen Yuchu lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this.

Zhai Yuanzhong's expression was subtle, and he sighed deeply: "It has been thirteen years. Grandpa hasn't seen you for thirteen years, but for your safety, Grandpa has never dared to see you. Do you know that when I heard the news that you were coming just now, I was surprised, happy, and panicked."

"Grandpa, I was reckless this time." Wen Yuchu looked up at him, "But I don't regret it."

Hearing this, Zhai Yuanzhong looked at him deeply.

"Who is your missing friend?"

"Her name is Shen Yan. She is my captain and also my friend."

"Shen Yan?" Zhai Yuanzhong frowned slightly, "Do you like her?"

Wen Yuchu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He quickly shook his head, "No."

Zhai Yuanzhong felt even more dissatisfied. This person was not the one he liked, but just a friend. Was it worth taking such a big risk?

He said to Wen Yuchu earnestly, "Grandpa will send you back tonight. As for the person you are looking for, Grandpa will send someone to check. If you find her, Grandpa will notify you immediately and send her back."

Hearing this, Wen Yuchu couldn't utter a single "no".

Because this is the best way.

Zhai Yuanzhong looked at the half silver mask he was wearing, his eyes deepened, he slowly raised his hand, gently grasped the edge of the mask, and slowly took it off. What came into view was the black and red seal pattern, densely packed, mysterious, and looked a little scary.

Zhai Yuanzhong seemed to remember something, and his eyes instantly turned red.

He choked up and said, "Achu, you must not remove the seal, otherwise, you will be imprisoned and become the target of public criticism!"

"You can't...you can't follow in your mother's footsteps! And don't tell your secret to anyone else, never!" he warned sternly.

A hint of sadness flashed across Wen Yuchu's eyes, so fast that it was hard to see clearly, and he pursed his lips.

"…it is good."

Zhai Yuanzhong said: "Don't trust your friends too much. People will betray each other for the sake of profit. Your mother also trusted humans too much, and in the end..."

When Wen Yuchu recalled the scene deep in his memory, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, almost suffocating him. His face turned a little colder.

But when he thought about everything he had experienced with Shen Yan and the others, he became a little confused.

Will they... betray themselves?

When Wen Yuchu thought of this, he felt depressed.

Finally, Wen Yuchu said to Zhai Yuanzhong: "Grandpa, maybe they are different."

After saying this, Wen Yuchu lowered his eyes.

He knew, he knew that this Shura team had experienced extremely unpleasant things, including exploitation, betrayal, cold-eyed treatment, and selfishness, but -

The premise for these things to happen is simply because they are strangers.

Now, Wen Yuchu could no longer regard them as strangers, they were... his friends.

Zhai Yuanzhong felt depressed when he heard this.

He clenched his fists and wanted to say something, but knew it was useless.

What abilities did these people have that could make his shrewd grandson treat them with such sincerity? !
