Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen Chapter 171

"What is where we are?" Xu Ming asked.
"We are in your courtyard, Master," the man replied.
"Where is my courtyard?" Xu Ming asked.
"It's in the South section of the sect," The servant answered.
"Where is the south section of the sect?" Xu Ming inquired.
"Inside our Royal Nine Suns Sect," The Servant answered.
"Where is our Royal Nine Suns Sect?"
Xu Ming kept asking questions in this manner. His main target was to know if he was still in the same world or not.
"It's in the Dark Wrath Kingdom, Master," the servant answered with a fawning smile on his face. It was as if the Dark Wrath Kingdom was somehow big in his heart, which increased his respect towards Xu Ming.
Xu Ming noticed this subtle change and couldn't help but wonder if the person he was pretending to be had something to do with the Dark Wrath Kingdom. He couldn't ask that question, though, as he wanted to continue the pattern.
"Where is the Dark Wrath Kingdom?" Xu Ming asked the servant.
"The Dark Wrath Kingdom is in the Fire God Continent, Master," the servant answered.
Xu Ming heard the Fire God Continent, but he didn't remember anything. He hadn't read extensively about the continents when he was in the sect, but he did hear about the name of their planet. He walked to hear if he was on the same planet as that would mean that the Fire God Continent was a different continent of their world.
"Where is the Fire God Continent?" Xu Ming inquired.
"This... It's in our world," the servant asked with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Weren't you boasting that I could ask you anything? How come you don't know the name of our planet?" Xu Ming snorted.

"I apologize, Master, but this servant of yours doesn't remember," The servant apologized.
"Let me ask you more things than. I will ask you the most simple question which you should know about. I would definitely be disappointed if you can't answer my questions," Xu Ming said in full seriousness.
"I will do my best, Master. I won't fail this test!" The Servant replied as he hit his chest.
"What is my relationship with the Dark Wrath Kingdom?" Xu Ming asked the man.
"This... I know this. Master is the Third Prince of the Dark Wrath Kingdom!" the Servant replied.
'The heck? I killed the Third Prince of their kingdom, and now I'm impersonating him?'
Xu Ming was surprised as he got this information. Even Valeria was shocked. She had been sitting on Xu Ming's shoulder silently all this time. Even she could see how serious this situation was. If someone found out that he wasn't who Xu Ming was pretending to be, he would be killed. Even if he escaped, he would be chased by the army of the kingdom for killing their Prince.
The only option was to keep pretending and to survive. If there were even a single mistake, it would be so over. She was glad that Xu Ming found this stupid servant, which helped him get the information. As long as Xu Ming knew about the things that he needed to avoid, then he would be able to take precautions to keep himself safe.
"Good. Why am I in this sect?" Xu Ming asked.
"Because Master wanted to study in the best sect of the kingdom instead of going to other kingdoms to study," The Servant answered.
"Right. Now let me get to the tougher questions. How is my relationship with the Crown Prince?" Xu Ming inquired.

"Crown Prince? Is this a trick question, Master? The Crown Prince hasn't even been selected yet, Master," the Servant let out with a confused look on his face.
"Right. You do have a presence of mind. Very good," Xu Ming praised the servant. He had realized that he had made a mistake, but he was happy that the servant was stupid enough to come to a reason himself.
"If you know that, then you must also know why the Crown Prince hasn't been selected? Let me see if you know," Xu Ming asked as he sat on a chair with one of his legs resting above his other leg.
"It's because His Majesty is waiting for three of his sons to turn 20 before he could start an official trial to see who is more worthy to be the kind. Master will be turning 20 in five months. Their trials will start then, and if master wins, he will be the Crown Prince," The Servant answered.
"Good. Now one last question for the day. Tell me if I go into a secluded Cultivation for a month, what can go wrong?" Xu Ming asked.
He wanted to see if there were any classes that he needed to attend or if he could be free to spend his time in freedom.
"The only thing I can think of is that your friendly neighbor will be angry that you didn't inform her before going to a secluded Cultivation. Other than that, Master has no problem. You are the Prince of our Kingdom, after all," the Servant answered.
"Good. That's enough questions for today. I'm happy that you haven't gone stupid. I would ask more questions later to make sure that your mind stays active," Xu Ming told the servant. "Now go and clear the bedsheet of my room. They were dirty when I left."
The Servant instantly nodded his head before he walked back to a room. Xu Ming observed to see which room belonged to him.
He soon found his room, but he still kept sitting on his chair.
He was lost in deep thoughts, trying to come up with a plan on that to go next.
After some time, the servant came out of the room and informed Xu Ming that the room was cleaned again.
"Good work. I'm going to my room. No matter who arrives, tell them that I'm in Secluded Cultivation and that you won't know when I'll come out," Xu Ming told the servant before he stood up and walked inside his room.
The room was mostly empty. Other than a wardrobe and a king-size bed, there was nothing else in the room.
Xu Ming closed the door behind him and walked back to the bed as he laid down on the bed.
"We need to leave this place," Valeria reminded Xu Ming.
"I know. I also want to leave, but there are more things that we need to do. I can't leave some of the people behind. I left my father behind once; I'm not leaving my friends behind now," Xu Ming declared.

Weavers... this lot has been synonymous with freaks at best, and devil worshipers at worst, since they were first found. Thankfully, they make up a negligible number of people, but they can still be incredibly dangerous.
