White Lotus stood rooted to the ground, her mouth half open. She looked a little sluggish, as if she hadn't come back to her senses for a while. After a while, she said in astonishment, "I, I did it?"
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Lu Chen fell to the ground, took two deep breaths, and then sneered, "Isn't this your precious artifact?"
White Lotus subconsciously touched the pendant on her chest, only to feel that it was as warm as usual, and there was no change in the light. After thinking for a moment, she said with some uncertainty, "Just now … I really didn't mean to kill you, although I feel that you are not a good person."
Lu Chen said, "You're cruel by nature. You don't even think before you kill, do you?"
White Lotus was startled, her face revealing a suspicious expression, but it seemed that she really had a little doubt about herself. She stammered, "Don't, don't … shouldn't be."
"What shouldn't be!" Lu Chen interrupted White Lotus's recollection, saying, "I just shouted for you to quickly stop, or else we will all die, do you remember?"
White Lotus pondered for a moment, finally a little embarrassment flashed across her face, and said, "I think, I think I heard this sentence."
"Humph!"
Lu Chen covered his chest with his hand, sucking in a cold breath. In addition, blood flowed and dyed the lapel of his clothes red, it looked like he was half dead.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Not long ago, the two of them were still fighting and killing each other, but at this moment, White Lotus was somewhat embarrassed.
She sat on the bed for a moment, then stood up, took two steps towards Lu Chen, and then stopped, saying, "That … Uncle, are you okay? I saw your sinister and ruthless appearance just now, you shouldn't die so easily, right? "
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. But then he spat and said, "Do you want me to stab you in the heart twice?"
White Lotus frowned. Just as she was about to say something else, there was a sudden knock on the door from the other side of the door.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff … Brother Lu, are you home? I went to the spiritual field, but I didn't see you and Atsu. "
A clear and melodious voice came from outside. It was Yi Xin's voice.
Everyone in the room was stunned at the same time. Then, Lu Chen and White Lotus looked around at the same time and saw that the room was in a mess. All the tables and chairs, including the bed and bedding, had been smashed into pieces and scattered around the room. It looked like a sudden storm had swept through the place.
White Lotus immediately shook her head at Lu Chen, and Lu Chen also nodded without hesitation. However, Atsu reacted faster than them.
The black dog leaped up, overjoyed, and barked wildly in the direction of the door.
"Woof, woof, woof, woof …"
Lu Chen, "…"
White Lotus, "…"
The two people in the room looked at each other, and the voice outside the door suddenly became louder, full of joy and laughter. "Ah, Atsu, you're home. Brother Lu is here too, right? Quick, open the door for me."
After a pause, Yi Xin smiled and said, "Atsu, I've brought you some delicious bones."
The black dog became even more excited. Its tail wagged wildly, and it rushed to the door. It jumped up and down, using its forelimbs to fiddle with the door latch. It looked like it was trying hard to open the door for Yi Xin.
White Lotus turned her gaze back to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen looked back at her. After a while, White Lotus suddenly said, "Why is your dog so stupid?"
Lu Chen coughed and said, "It was an accident …"
…
With a bang, the door latch was pried open by Atsu. Yi Xin pushed the door open with a smile and walked in. Atsu enthusiastically pounced on her, lying on her body and rubbing against her.
Yi Xin affectionately patted Atsu's head and smiled. Then, she took out a bag and poured out a few bones. She smiled and said, "Atsu, eat."
Atsu cheered and ran to the side with the bones in its mouth. Yi Xin stood up and looked forward. At the same time, she smiled and said, "Brother Lu, why are you so early today …"
Her voice suddenly stopped, and her smile seemed to freeze on her face. She saw the terrible state of the room and was momentarily speechless. After a while, she saw Lu Chen sitting on the ground with his hand covering his chest and half of his body bleeding. She suddenly screamed and ran over. She lost her voice and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you, what happened to you?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I … suffered a little injury."
Yi Xin's face suddenly turned pale. Then, she looked around and saw White Lotus standing on the other side of the room. She looked at the broken pieces of the room and seemed to understand something. She stared at White Lotus and shouted, "You hurt Brother Lu?"
White Lotus hesitated and said, "Maybe … yes."
Yi Xin only felt a sudden surge of anger. She suddenly stood up and shouted at White Lotus, "Brother Lu is such a good person. He stands aloof from worldly affairs. It is impossible for him to provoke you, the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Why did you hurt him?"
"Huh?" Lu Chen and White Lotus were shocked at the same time. Lu Chen pulled Yi Xin and said, "How do you know her identity?"
Yi Xin said angrily, "That day, I saw her at the mountain gate with you. I was a bit curious, so I went to ask around. Kunwu City is only so big and there are only so many aristocratic families, so I naturally found out."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Chen. Although White Lotus looked younger and wasn't as tall as Yi Xin, her imposing manner seemed to overwhelm Yi Xin, causing Yi Xin to be cautious. However, she still looked angry and said, "Miss Bai, you already have such a talented background. Moreover, you are favored by the heavens and are about to become a True Sovereign's disciple. There is a world of difference between the two of you. Why did you come to bully an ordinary odd-job disciple like Brother Lu? "
"I …" She didn't know why, but when she saw Yi Xin's angry but beautiful face, White Lotus felt speechless. In the end, she could only shake her head. Even her voice became a bit lower and she said, "You … you misunderstood."
"What did I misunderstand?!" Yi Xin looked angry and didn't believe what she said.
"Forget it, Yi Xin." At this time, Lu Chen pulled on Yi Xin's sleeve from behind. After she turned around, he said, "Just now, I was careless … uh, I fell and hurt myself. Don't blame Miss Bai."
"You fell yourself, and you even injured your chest so badly?" Yi Xin looked like she had seen a ghost.
Lu Chen laughed dryly, then looked at White Lotus and said, "Miss Bai, we can be considered … no discord, no concord. Why don't we just let it go?"
White Lotus stared at him, and after a moment, she slowly nodded and said, "You're right. There's nothing between us. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. But what happened before … "
The corner of Lu Chen's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He cut her off and said, "Let's mind our own business in the future. What do you think?"
"Okay!" White Lotus pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed. Then she walked towards the door.
Yi Xin looked at White Lotus unhappily. It seemed that she was still holding a grudge. But when she walked to the door, White Lotus suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Xin.
"May I ask which family are you from?" As she spoke, Bai Lian's expression had completely returned to normal. She had returned to the elegant, cold, and otherworldly beauty of a young girl like a banished immortal.
The speed and smoothness of the change made Lu Chen secretly speechless.
Yi Xin hesitated for a moment, but then she thought that with the ability and background of the person in front of her, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out her background. So she directly replied, "My surname is Yi."
White Lotus was clearly startled. After thinking carefully for a moment, she seemed to recall something. She said, "Oh, the Yi family in the east of the city, right?"
Yi Xin said, "Yes, what do you want?"
White Lotus smiled. "You're thinking too much. We are all descendants of aristocratic families and disciples of the same sect. There will be many opportunities for us to take care of each other in the future. There's no need for us to be enemies."
She was extremely beautiful to begin with, so when she spoke in such a natural and unrestrained manner, it was hard for anyone to dislike her. Yi Xin also couldn't keep a straight face. She pursed her lips and waited for a moment before replying, "Oh."
However, White Lotus's gaze then shifted to Lu Chen who was behind Yi Xin. Suddenly, she said seriously, "Sister Yi, I have something to say to you."
Yi Xin was taken aback. She wasn't used to White Lotus suddenly calling her sister. After all, although she was innocent, she still understood some basic principles. White Lotus's identity, status, and background were too different from hers. Even if White Lotus was young, Yi Xin really didn't expect her to call her sister. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "What?"
White Lotus said, "I think Sister Yi should be a good person with a kind heart. But this uncle …"
"Hey, can't you stop calling him uncle!"
White Lotus ignored the other person's complaints and said to Yi Xin with a gentle expression, "I think you should be careful of this man. He looks harmless and gentle, but in fact, he is vicious and cruel. I have never seen such a person in my life. If you get too close to him, you will hurt yourself sooner or later."
She looked sincerely at Yi Xin, her eyes clear and pure, like the most beautiful and flawless flower in the world. She said gently, "The two of you are not the same kind of people. Don't be with him."
The room suddenly became silent. No one spoke for a while.
The atmosphere seemed to be slightly awkward, but after a moment, Yi Xin suddenly frowned. The scar on her cheek was still there. It was a faint scar, but it didn't seem to damage her beauty. Instead, it only added a bit of heroic spirit to her.
She looked at White Lotus, looked at the girl who was destined to become an influential figure in the world in the future, the girl who was destined to become the proud daughter of the Kunlun Party. Finally, Yi Xin snorted and said loudly, "I don't believe it!"
