In the front hall of the Black Hill Pavilion in Kunwu City, Old Ma didn't immediately answer Lu Chen's question. His face looked a bit unsightly. After a while, Old Ma said in a low voice, "More than one."
Lu Chen's surprised expression slowly calmed down, but the light in his eyes grew sharper. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Damn baldy, you've offended everyone, haven't you?"
Old Ma shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. When the Devil Cult was at its peak, His Excellency was in the limelight. In Zhenxianmeng, he could summon the wind and summon the rain. Ten years ago, after the battle in the desolate valley, his reputation reached its peak, suppressing the other True Monarchs to the point where they didn't have any face and offended many people. "
Lu Chen said, "Damn baldy is so powerful. Why isn't he arrogant now?"
Old Ma coughed and said, "The world has been in turmoil for a long time. Many people in Zhenxianmeng still want to live a peaceful life."
Lu Chen nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked at the alley outside, his eyes drifting.
Old Ma glanced at him and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. He said, "In Zhenxianmeng, Supremes Guangbo controls the financial power of the Immortal Alliance. He has always disliked Fuyunji and has been complaining about it for many years. Other than this Lord, the 'Heavenly Law Hall's' Iron Pot Immortal has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Floating Clouds Division. His harsh words and stern countenance were directed at Hall Master Xue Ying. However, everyone in the entire Immortal City knows who the target is. "
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He frowned and said, "Tiehu? Isn't His Excellency known to be impartial and impartial? Why did he also come to join in the fun? "
Old Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Because Fuyunji has a lot of problems that can't be settled. Every two or three days, a shadow would either die or go missing on patrol. No one would be able to take it. It's only because True Lord Tianlan supported Xue Ying that Hall Master Xue would have been captured and sent to the Heavenly Law Hall."
Lu Chen's face turned ugly again, he coldly snorted and said, "The Evil Faction has become so arrogant?" He paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not right. Although those lunatics are not weak, they are not strong enough to challenge Zhenxianmeng directly."
Old Ma was startled. "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Chen turned his face away and looked at the empty alley outside. He seemed unwilling to say more and said, "You know what I mean."
Old Ma hesitated for a moment, but he suddenly stood up from the comfortable chair and walked to Lu Chen. A rare serious expression appeared on his face and he said in a low voice, "This is a serious matter, I can't make wild guesses. No one in the world has a deeper understanding of the Evil Faction than you. If you have any opinion, you must clearly explain it to me, then I can report it to the Supremes. "
Lu Chen did not speak and only glanced at Old Ma.
Old Ma sighed and said softly, "This is a serious matter. Besides, you should know in your heart that he doesn't trust many people. But he will definitely listen to what you say. "
Lu Chen was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, under Old Ma's anxious gaze, he faintly said, "The Evil Faction has indeed infiltrated the Immortal Alliance. But Fuyunji is one of the Immortal Alliance branches that have fought against the Evil Faction the most over the years. Regardless of strength, experience or defense, they are all extremely strong. To be able to force Fuyunji to this state and lose so many people, the Evil Faction can't do it."
Old Ma stared at him and said, "Then who is it?"
Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Whoever understands the Immortal Alliance the best, the one who is the easiest to attack, the one who benefits the most from the deaths, the one who jumps the highest and shouts the loudest, that is it."
Old Ma's face suddenly turned pale. He stared at Lu Chen for a long while and finally said bitterly, "But you don't have evidence?"
"I don't."
"Just guessing?"
"Just guessing."
"Such a big matter, I'm afraid you can't convince the public with just guessing! What's more, your words also implied those two. How can this be criticized with empty words? "
"Since when do you need evidence in your eyes?"
"…"
The room suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke anymore.
…
After a long time, it seemed that time had frozen in this lonely alley. When the light fell on them, the two ordinary figures under the ordinary eaves seemed to be just inconspicuous ants in the passage of time.
"This can't be done." Old Ma softly broke the silence.
"Why?"
"What kind of people are those two? Milord is already in a difficult situation, how can he make more enemies?"
Lu Chen expressionlessly said, "You want me to speak, I said. Whether you want to pass these words to the damn baldy has nothing to do with me."
Old Ma suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Chen. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. A trace of a complicated look flashed across his face.
In front of the alley, the silence was still there.
…
The light and shadow changed, and the grass trembled in the wind.
Lu Chen suddenly walked out of the gate and came to the opposite wall of the alley. He reached out and broke a blade of grass. The cool breeze blew slowly, dancing alone in this corner that seemed to be forgotten by the bustling city.
"Do you really think so?" Old Ma's voice sounded behind him.
Lu Chen fiddled with the blade of grass in his hand and said calmly, "Yes."
Old Ma walked in front of him and stared into his eyes, saying, "But I feel that there seems to be another meaning in your words."
Lu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, what is it?"
"It has the intention to kill the heart."
"I don't understand. Speak human language."
"Do you still bear a grudge against Milord and want to harm him?"
"…"
The Breeze Alley was silent again, as if there was a sudden clap of thunder. The green grass was quietly broken at the fingertips and drifted away with the wind.
…
The clouds were gone, the sky was shining, and the alley was deep and dark. Only two figures stood under the wall.
The breeze seemed to become lighter and slower, but it still blew tenaciously, sweeping up the hem of their clothes, but the palms in the sleeves could not be seen clearly.
There was suddenly a sense of desolation in the wind.
Lu Chen turned around and plucked a green leaf, saying lightly, "You should not say this."
"I know."
Lu Chen's fingers gently stroked the green leaf, his eyes bright and sharp with a bit of coldness. Even his voice seemed to be a bit colder, saying, "To say it in front of me is to suspect me; to say it to the bald head is to drive a wedge between us."
The corner of Old Ma's eyes seemed to twitch, but he did not speak, just kept silent.
Lu Chen said again, "You and I have known each other for ten years, you should know me very well and understand my feelings, in fact …"
Old Ma suddenly interrupted him and said coldly, "In fact, I can't see through you at all."
"I don't know what you are thinking."
"Have you really let go of the things that happened ten years ago?"
"No one in this world will really know your feelings!"
Old Ma said each word slowly but clearly, staring at Lu Chen's eyes. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut open the deep darkness in Lu Chen's eyes.
There was a wind blowing, and the clothes were fluttering.
Lu Chen slowly turned around and looked straight into Old Ma's eyes.
The two men silently but coldly stared at each other.
In the depths of his sleeve, an emerald green leaf suddenly withered and turned into a withered, withered leaf. Then, it silently slid down to the ground.
…
"You think too much."
After a long time, Lu Chen suddenly laughed, clapped his hands, and then glanced at the sky. Seeing the blue clouds leaving, he said calmly, "You asked me, and I said it. You are not satisfied, so you suspect me. I am afraid this is a bit inappropriate."
Old Ma was silent and did not answer.
Lu Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, Fatty. In our line of work, there are people who are paranoid, nervous, and afraid all day long. In the end, there are also many who go crazy. If you go on like this, you will inevitably become a madman in the future. "
Old Ma closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. I was too impatient today. I'll pass on your words later. "
Lu Chen turned around and walked into the house, saying, "Whether to pass on the words or not, it is up to you."
Old Ma followed behind him. After two steps, he suddenly said, "You saved my life, I have no intention of harming you."
Lu Chen's footsteps paused, and he said, "I know."
Taking another step forward, Lu Chen said, "Fatty, in these ten years, my life was in your hands."
Old Ma was silent.
Lu Chen looked at the door that was close at hand, stopped and did not go in. After a moment, he turned around and looked at Old Ma, saying softly, "It is the same now."
Old Ma's body slightly shook, then a deep and complicated look flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I know."
Lu Chen smiled gently and said, "Well, it is late, I am going back to the mountain." Saying this, he waved to Old Ma, then turned around and walked out of the alley.
Old Ma stood on the bluestone road, silently watching the figure gradually go away, not saying a word.
When Lu Chen's figure finally disappeared from sight, the fat on Old Ma's face suddenly shook a few times. At that moment, his body seemed to suddenly relax from an extremely tense state, and he let out a long breath.
It was as if he had been holding his breath and hiding in the water for too long.
He took a few deep breaths and wiped his forehead with his hand. Then he smiled bitterly and turned around to walk back to the house. However, he had only taken two steps when his body suddenly froze. He had come to a complete stop.
After a moment, he suddenly walked to a place in the corner of the alley and squatted down.
His white and chubby hands reached out from his sleeves and groped around the brick wall. Then, he picked up something from the ground.
It was a dried and charred leaf, curled up into a ball.
Old Ma silently looked at the dried leaf in his hand, then raised his head to look around. The tenacious weeds growing in the cracks of the wall were slightly trembling in the wind, full of vitality, sprinkling green.
In the quiet alley, a trace of haze suddenly flashed in Old Ma's eyes.
