The cold mountain breeze blew from afar, ruffling people's clothes, making them feel a trace of coldness. Two figures slowly walked over from afar, one old and one young, with white hair and black hair. The old one was Melaleuca Japonica, and the young girl was Yi Xin.
They looked over from afar. Melaleuca Japonica frowned and instructed Yi Xin. Yi Xin nodded and walked over.
In the crowd, under everyone's gaze, Lu Chen did not speak for a while. He Changsheng urged him, "Lu Chen, say it. Didn't you come to my place many times before? Didn't you always see the stone garlic I planted?"
At this time, Su Qingjun suddenly took a step forward, looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Lu Chen, do you really know this person?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, his name is He Changsheng. Like me, he is a part-time disciple who joined the sect this year. I know him."
Su Qingjun looked back at Sumo, who was beside her. Sumo smiled at her sister, but there seemed to be a trace of reluctance in her smile.
Su Qingjun's eyes glimmered. It was as if a gust of wind had blown across the surface of a calm lake, causing some ripples to appear.
After a moment, she turned back to look at Lu Chen, and said calmly, "You and I have not known each other for long, but when you helped me cultivate the Red Ambergris, you should also be a trustworthy person. Say it, if you can really prove that it is him, I will believe you. "
Lu Chen's gaze was slightly lowered, and the corner of his mouth slightly pursed. He seemed to be smiling, but not smiling, and seemed to be angry, but not angry. It was unknown what exactly he was feeling at this moment. At the same time, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar. When they looked at Lu Chen again, their gazes were different.
He Changsheng was overjoyed. Grinning from ear to ear, he grabbed Lu Chen's arm and shouted, "Tell me, tell me, tell me! That's my Stone Garlic!"
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. After a moment, he raised his head and looked forward. Ignoring He Changsheng, he looked at Su Qingjun indifferently, then looked at Sumo and the other two beside her, as well as Lin Kuangyi and the others on the other side, and said, "What do you want me to say? Just ask."
Su Qingjun pondered for a moment before asking, "Among the odd-job disciples in the Flowing Fragrance Garden, is this person the best at growing stone garlic?"
"Yes." Lu Chen replied straightforwardly.
He Changsheng laughed heartily. Su Qingjun frowned slightly, then nodded, while the Su and Lin people on the other side had different expressions. But very quickly, Su Qian of the three Su family suddenly took a step forward and said, "Can I ask you a few words?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course you can, please ask."
Su Qian glanced at He Changsheng who was standing beside Lu Chen and said, "Since you are familiar with He Changsheng, do you know this Zhang Zhi?" As he said this, he pointed at the odd-job disciple who was still unconscious on the ground.
Lu Chen said, "I know him, but I don't usually interact with him, so I am not familiar with him."
Su Qian's eyes lit up. "You are not familiar with Zhang Zhi?"
"Not familiar."
"That is to say, you rarely come to Zhang Zhi's land?"
"Almost never."
Su Qian clapped his hands and said, "Then have you seen the Stone Garlic that Zhang Zhi planted?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. After a while, he said indifferently, "I don't have any impression of it. I should have never paid attention to it."
Su Qian laughed, looked around, and then said with a slightly complacent expression, "Then let me ask you one last time. Are you absolutely certain that this Stone Garlic in front of you is not the one that Zhang Zhi planted himself?"
Lu Chen was silent again. This time, everyone around him seemed to hold their breath. He Changsheng was a little nervous, staring closely at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen lowered his eyes, as if he was carefully thinking, but also as if he was comparing in his heart. After a while, he raised his head, looked at everyone in front of him, and then said expressionlessly, "No, I can't be sure."
"Boom!"
The surrounding crowd suddenly seemed to explode, the sound waves rolling over. Everyone showed all kinds of different expressions. And in the field, Lin Kuangyi and the others looked at each other, revealing a bitter smile, as if they had already expected this result. And the three Su family brothers were happy. Only Su Qingjun's face seemed to show a subtle and strange expression, looking deeply at Lu Chen.
"You … you …"
A hoarse shout, with disbelief and anger, came from beside Lu Chen. Suddenly, a pair of hands rushed over and fiercely pushed Lu Chen, causing him to stagger back a few steps and fall to the ground.
It was He Changsheng.
His face looked a little twisted, his eyes bloodshot. He looked fiercely at Lu Chen, as if the last hope in his life had been shattered by Lu Chen.
"You are not human!" He roared, roared, and shouted at Lu Chen, "How dare you say that, you clearly know that the stone garlic is mine, mine!"
Lu Chen silently stood up, looking at He Changsheng, that gaze was as indifferent as the mountain wind blowing, almost without any emotion, no fear, no sympathy. Deep in his eyes, the gaze was as deep as the sea, reflecting only a silent darkness.
"I am just speaking the truth." Lu Chen said indifferently.
"What truth, what you said is bullshit!" He Changsheng was still shouting, he seemed to have lost control, his emotions were collapsing, even tears were flowing down his face, pointing at Lu Chen, then pointing at everyone around, roaring, "You are all like this, you don't believe me, obviously, obviously I am a good person!"
He screamed loudly, suddenly turned around and ran away, rushing out of the crowd, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
When he had just rushed out, the Su family brothers seemed unwilling to let him go, wanting to stop him, but Su Qingjun coldly glanced at them, in addition to He Changsheng's frenzied expression, like a madman, so the Su family brothers gave up.
At the side, Lin Kuangyi and a few others discussed in low voices. Then, he walked to Su Qingjun's side and smiled apologetically. "Senior Sister Su, we were indeed in the wrong today. It's all our fault for trusting that bastard and causing a misunderstanding with Brother Su and the others. Later, I will definitely apologize, just … "
"There's no need." Su Qingjun suddenly interrupted him. "Let's end this matter here."
Lin Kuangyi was a bit surprised, but then his face lit up with joy. He said with a smile, "That's great, thank you, Shijie Su."
Su Qingjun glanced at him and said indifferently, "Junior Martial Brother Lin, Su family and Lin family aren't enemies, on the contrary, our two families have been friends for several generations. If today's matter were to be spread back to Kunwu City, I don't need to say anything, I'm afraid Uncle Lin won't be happy. Have you thought about this? "
Lin Kuangyi was startled, his face turned pale, and he hastily said, "Yes, yes, yes, what Shijie Su said is right, Little Brother was wrong. In the future, if Shijie Su needs Little Brother's help, just tell me, Little Brother will be honored to be able to help you! "
Su Qingjun sighed and said, "Forget it, you can go."
Lin Kuangyi and the others repeatedly agreed. They didn't dare to stay here for long, so they hastily left.
Su Qingjun looked back at Lu Chen, who was still standing there. She wanted to say something, but she hesitated. A trace of apology flashed across her eyes, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just slightly nodded at him, then called out to Sumo and the others, and left.
On the prairie, the crowd of onlookers also began to gradually disperse, but He Changsheng's crazy appearance just now was still deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Soon, only Lu Chen was left in the crowd. He stood there silently for a moment, and just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a young girl standing not far from him. It was Yi Xin.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she hastily ran over, gently pulled Lu Chen's arm, and said in a low voice, "Brother Lu, don't be angry, I saw everything just now, those people …"
"I'm fine." Lu Chen interrupted her words, and smiled.
Yi Xin blinked, and said, "Really?"
Lu Chen looked at the young girl in front of him with a smile, looking at her beautiful face under her soft long hair, and his gentle eyes hid a trace of concern.
"I'm fine, really." He said softly.
"Okay." Yi Xin immediately became happy, then pointed to the front, and said, "Martial Uncle Yan is still waiting for me there, I'll go first."
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, you go."
Yi Xin smiled and turned to leave, the mountain wind blowing up the corner of her clothes, like a flower fluttering in the world.
…
This scene, this matter, quickly passed. Some people took it as a bolt from the blue, thinking that the sky had broken, while others thought that it was just a small matter like the waves of the river and the sea.
From that day on, He Changsheng and Lu Chen became enemies.
When they occasionally met on the road, he would stare at Lu Chen with an extremely resentful look, as if he wanted to kill Lu Chen with his eyes.
Of course, Lu Chen clearly felt this blatant hatred, but he felt a little bored and a little funny. Of course, he didn't show it on the surface. Most of the time, he just passed by He Changsheng indifferently and expressionlessly.
A few days later, somehow, this matter was suddenly known by the people in charge of Baicao Tang. It was said that a big shot couldn't stand it after knowing it, and told the people in charge of Baicao Tang. As a result, Baicao Tang suddenly became angry. The three brothers of the Su family, Lin Kuangyi and the other four were all fine, but only the handyman disciples were punished. He Changsheng, Zhang Zhi, and Lu Chen were called to the supervisor, and they were scolded heavily.
In the end, regardless of the twists and turns, Zhang Zhi and He Changsheng were the cause of the trouble, and 20 spiritual stones were deducted directly. Lu Chen was only caught to testify, so he was not to be blamed. So, the fine was waived, and he was released after a scolding.
From then on, He Changsheng seemed to become more and more abnormal. Every day, he would ramble on and on. Some people even saw him sharpening a sharp blade and carrying it with him. It was as if he was about to go crazy.
And according to people living near him, these days, He Changsheng said the most, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you …"
