Chapter 452 Ink Spring Acquired
"Young man, it's time for you to study."
Zhang Hai walked in and said to Ye Ru, "When I watched him read outside, I was shocked. How could he have persisted in this stone chamber for so long?"
"Huh? How long have I been studying here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru rubbed his eyes and then said.
"It should be more than twenty hours."
Zhang Hai thought for a moment, then asked in confusion:
"Don't you feel any pressure inside this stone chamber? Logically speaking, the longer you stay here, the greater the pressure will be. When we first came here, we couldn't last even an hour before we had to leave, but you've lasted for more than twenty hours."
"What pressure? I don't feel any."
Ye Ru held the Confucian teachings chart in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said.
He was also very curious: was Confucius's earlier statement about having people study here for the sake of this Confucian teaching picture?
It can't be that simple.
“Those who can endure in this stone chamber are no ordinary people. You really are the person Confucius spoke of. I believe what you said, and you will come to lead us out in the future.”
Zhang Hai suddenly relaxed, his eyes flickered slightly, but then he spoke firmly.
"If possible, I will take you out."
Ye Ru was also completely bewildered. He had come here by mistake, including studying here, but all he had gained was this one thing. Perhaps he would come back here again in the future.
"I've been here for over twenty hours?"
"Correct."
"Damn, I didn't expect time to fly by so fast. I should get out of here, or they'll be waiting."
Upon hearing the definite answer, Ye Ru slapped his forehead. More than twenty hours, which translates to two days and two nights. If they didn't get out soon, Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi would come down to search for them. If something happened then, it wouldn't be easy to handle when they returned to Yanhuang Kingdom.
"You're leaving, right?"
Zhang Hai frowned and said.
"Yes, otherwise you'll be getting impatient. I apologize for any offense I may have caused, but once I get back and let them know, I'll definitely bring you out."
Ye Ru clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Hai and then said, which softened Zhang Hai's expression slightly.
"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. You can go back now."
"Farewell."
"Wait, the ink spring within the document ink spring is a good thing, let's take it."
Before Ye Ru could leave, a beam of light shot towards him and landed directly in his hand. Upon closer inspection, Ye Ru realized that the light was made of a viscous black liquid, which also carried extremely rich talent energy. Moreover, this talent energy was many times purer than the talent energy outside.
"Thank you."
Ye Ru nodded, carefully put away the Confucian teachings illustration and the ink spring, then pushed open the door of the stone chamber and left.
Watching Ye Ru's retreating figure, something flickered in Zhang Hai's eyes...
Above the inkstone, Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi paced back and forth, their faces showing anxiety.
Ye Ru hasn't come out for quite some time now. If something hadn't happened, he definitely wouldn't be back so late.
"It's almost the third day, why hasn't Ye Ru come out yet? Could it be that something bad happened to him down there?"
Seeing that the document and inkstone remained completely still, Zhang Dong pondered for a moment and then spoke to Zhang Zhi.
"That shouldn't be the case. With Ye Ru's talent, not many people could hurt him, let alone the fact that he has the Great Confucian Book."
Zhang shook his head, a serious expression on his face, and offered words of comfort.
"I'm afraid he encountered some treasure down there. I can sense something in this document and ink spring. I think the master must have gone somewhere."
The Star Ape King, who was standing to the side, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said.
Gululu...
At that moment, a burst of bubbles appeared from the ink spring, followed by a figure that swept out and landed on the ground.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ye Ru leaped out of the ink spring, bowed to the three of them, and said.
"It's alright, it's good that you're back safe and sound. There's nothing else wrong, it's just that the Qian family has come here a few times. After all, they only gave you one day, but you stayed inside for almost three days."
Zhang shook his head, quickly helped him up, and then said.
"I see. Then I'll go back and tell him in person, since we broke our promise."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, thinking that perhaps the Qian family hadn't come here again because Qian Wensong had stopped them from doing so.
Immediately, he shook his head, smiled at the crowd, and said:
"Let's go back to the Qian family now."
"it is good."
Afterwards, Ye Ru and the others crossed Wanmu Mountain and arrived at the Qian family's residence.
"Brother Ye, you're back?"
Before Ye Ru could even ask someone to announce his arrival, Qian Wensong hurriedly came from the inner courtyard, bowed to Ye Ru, and said:
"How are you inside?"
"The harvest was plentiful, but I must tell you, if you let the Qian family go into the water, you must never go to the bottom, otherwise you will be in mortal danger. Even I almost did not escape back."
Ye Ru's expression suddenly turned serious. He then spoke slowly and deliberately to Qian Wensong. He knew that once more people ventured into the underground world, the latter might attack these invaders for disturbing their peace. If a fight broke out and angered the underground creatures, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, according to what they said, there is definitely more than one such underground world.
"Should I send my scholar, a member of the Hanlin Academy, to investigate?"
Upon hearing Ye Ru's serious words, Qian Wensong took a deep breath and then slowly spoke.
"Absolutely not."
Ye Ru quickly replied.
"Alright, we'll only absorb it from the surface and will never go deeper."
Qian Wensong stared intently into Ye Ru's eyes, and after finding no signs of deception, nodded.
"In that case, we'll take our leave."
Ye Ru clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qian Wensong and said.
"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Wensong quickly blocked the door and asked in confusion.
"I won't stay any longer. The dispute over the documents and inkstones is now over. Consider this my way of thanking Brother Qian for his hospitality these past few days. I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
Ye Ru knew that after killing Shi Yu and defeating Shi Hao, the Shi family would definitely not let it go so easily. They were probably already investigating his background. Staying here would inevitably cause trouble for the Qian family.
Therefore, it's neither appropriate to stay here, nor is it logical; it's better to leave as soon as possible.
