This morning, Lu Chen took Atsu out. As usual, in order to ensure the safety of all kinds of precious herbs in the herb garden, no birds or beasts were allowed to enter the garden. Therefore, Atsu never went there with Lu Chen. Basically, they parted ways as soon as they left the garden.
Lu Chen went to the herb garden to work, while Atsu ran out to play for a day. It took care of its own food and drinks, and only came back when it was dark.
This method of letting go was, of course, less troublesome for Lu Chen, but Yi Xin often nagged about it. She was always worried that something would happen to Atsu when it wandered outside alone. However, Lu Chen did not care about her worry and ignored it. Atsu seemed to like this kind of life very much. It ran out to play all day and seemed to be very comfortable and happy. Therefore, in the end, Yi Xin could only accept this fact. At most, when she occasionally came to visit Atsu, she would secretly bring it some of its favorite meat bones.
At the door of the house, Atsu turned around and called out to Lu Chen as a greeting. Then, it ran away like a wisp of smoke. No one knew where it went to play today. Recently, Atsu seemed to like to go out, but no one knew where it went. Lu Chen was too lazy to care about it and walked all the way to the Fragrance Garden.
After entering the herb garden and coming to the spiritual field, Lu Chen began his day's work in the breeze with a fragrant smell.
However, this day did not seem to be lonely, because he had only worked for a while when Yi Xin appeared with a smile on her face beside his spiritual field. She waved at him and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, good morning."
Lu Chen patted the soil on his hands, walked to the edge of the field and sat down. He smiled at Yi Xin and said, "I say, you are too idle. I only see you wandering around all day."
Yi Xin glared at him and said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Chen said, "I remember you are at the Rock Mountain. Why do I see you at the Fragrance Garden every day these days? Aren't you slacking off?"
Yi Xin chuckled and revealed a proud expression. She said, "You don't understand. Martial Aunt Yan Luo has recently been transferred to Flowing Fragrance Garden to manage things here. She brought me here too."
"Oh, no wonder." Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that Martial Aunt Yan likes you very much."
"Of course, who doesn't like this lady …" Yi Xin playfully stuck out her tongue. Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly froze. The joke she was about to say was stuck in her mouth. Her eyes looked behind Lu Chen as if she had seen something surprising. For a moment, she couldn't say anything.
Lu Chen was slightly surprised and turned his head to look. He frowned slightly. He saw that a few dozen feet behind him, He Changsheng was walking past. His pace was not fast, but his eyes were fiercely staring in Lu Chen's direction.
Perhaps because he did not sleep well last night, He Changsheng's eyes were a little bloodshot. His gaze was full of resentment. He looked at Lu Chen as if he had seen his father's murderer or his mortal enemy. He could only be described as gnashing his teeth. Yi Xin couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine when he occasionally glanced at the people around Lu Chen with a look of disgust and hatred.
Lu Chen stood up expressionlessly and took a step forward to stand in front of Yi Xin, blocking He Changsheng's gaze for her. At the same time, he stared coldly into He Changsheng's eyes. His gaze met He Changsheng's without the slightest intention of backing down.
He Changsheng seemed to become more and more angry when Lu Chen looked at him like this. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and his face revealed an indescribable anger. It was as if he could not believe that Lu Chen dared to look him in the eye without the slightest bit of guilt or shame.
But Lu Chen just stood there calmly, silently looking straight at him with a bit of coldness.
After a while, He Changsheng turned around and strode away.
"Brother Lu, this person, this person, how can this person be like this?" Yi Xin poked her head out from behind Lu Chen. Looking at He Changsheng's back, there was still some lingering fear in her heart as she asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's probably because he hates me."
Yi Xin was startled for a moment and said, "Is it because of the fight over the stone garlic that day?"
"Yes."
"How can that matter be blamed on you!" Yi Xin shouted. Looking at her pretty face, it seemed that it was somewhat pale from anger. She said, "That stone garlic was Sumo's, the ones who beat him and humiliated him were also the people of the Su family. The one who insisted on standing up was him. Even if we take a step back, it was Lin Kuangyi who forced him. Su Qingjun's Sister Su stood up and said a few words. What she wanted was proof, but he couldn't produce it! Everyone stood up and spoke, so why does he only hate you? "
"Yes, why does he hate me the most?" Lu Chen said to himself. After a while, he turned to look at Yi Xin. He saw that the girl's chest was still heaving up and down. It seemed that she was not light. He couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart.
"Alright, sit down." Lu Chen smiled and pulled her arm. He said with a smile, "I'm not even this flustered and exasperated. Why are you so angry?"
"No, this doesn't make sense. I just feel wronged for Brother Lu." Yi Xin pouted and complained.
Lu Chen looked up at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. After a while, he said to Yi Xin, "Actually, I told you the reason."
"Ah, what is it?" Yi Xin was startled.
"It's because I'm weak," Lu Chen said faintly.
"Su Qingjun is a peerless genius. There's a world of difference between her and mortals. She's not someone he can have delusions about. The three brothers, Sumo, Su Qian, and Su Wen, are from the Su family. Their influence is enormous. In addition, Su Qingjun has just advanced to the Jin Dan realm. He Changsheng is courting death by provoking them. Lin Kuangyi and the others are also in a similar situation. Even if the Lin family and the Chen family can't compare to the Su family, it's really too easy for them to crush a part-time disciple like him."
Lu Chen looked at Yi Xin and said calmly, "He Changsheng's ancestors were from an aristocratic family in Kunwu City. I'm afraid he knows a thing or two about these things. So, even if he hates them, he doesn't dare to provoke them."
Yi Xin clenched her teeth and looked at Lu Chen. She said, "So, so he …"
"So, no matter how you look at it, I'm still the weakest. We're all part-time disciples, and I don't have any aristocratic family background. Isn't it the safest and cheapest way to vent his anger on me? " Lu Chen smiled and said, "Everyone sees him acting like he's crazy now. In fact, that person's heart is very clear."
"Shameless!" Yi Xin spat. Her face was full of anger. She said huffily, "If you have the ability, then go find the main culprit. I saw it clearly that day. He deliberately pulled you to testify for him. In the end, you didn't help him by telling the truth, so he actually hates you? If he really dares to go find those people from the Su family, I might think a bit more highly of him. He's really a coward! "
Lu Chen sat quietly for a while, then said, "In fact, I also didn't expect him to be this kind of person. These days, the weak are already so cowardly that they don't dare to threaten the strong. So, they only dare to pile their hatred on the weak, thinking they can vent their anger in this way. They think they can become valiant in this way. "
"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"It's really disgusting." Yi Xin frowned and said with a face full of disgust. Then she shook her head and sighed, saying, "Brother Lu, why do I feel that, ever since I met you, I've always heard these … these not so good things. The more I hear, the more I feel that the world is always dark and there's no light at all."
Lu Chen laughed and couldn't help but pat Yi Xin's head. He said with a smile, "That's because you haven't seen these things since you were young. I told you to broaden your horizons, but you actually don't want to."
Yi Xin covered her head and hit Lu Chen's arm. She complained, "Don't pat my head, I've become stupid. Hmm … it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I feel uncomfortable listening to it. "
Lu Chen looked at her deeply, which made Yi Xin feel a little unnatural. She said, "Brother Lu, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, although there are many bad things in this world, I used to think that the whole world is … that 'dark' you mentioned. But after so many years, I don't think it's like that. There are still some very good things in this world. "
Yi Xin's eyes lit up. She said, "What are they?"
Lu Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "For example, when you smile, you're very beautiful. It's like the sun is shining on you."
Yi Xin was stunned for a moment. After a moment, her cheeks suddenly flushed red. She jumped up and stammered, "You, what did you say …"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Can't I say you're beautiful?"
"Ah … Ah!" No one knew what Yi Xin muttered, but she suddenly stamped her feet. She looked at Lu Chen with a mixture of joy and anger, then she turned around and ran away.
…
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile. He got up and returned to the spiritual fields, ready to continue working. But before he could bend down, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps. He looked up and saw that it was Yi Xin running back with a red face.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "What's wrong? I'm telling you, even if you're happy to hear it, I won't say it again."
"Shoo shoo shoo!" Yi Xin's face became even redder. She said angrily, "Who … Who wants to hear it again? I forgot to tell you something. "
Lu Chen said with a smile, "What is it? Say it."
Yi Xin's eyes seemed to be drifting. She didn't dare to look Lu Chen in the eye. She just glanced to the side and said, "I went back to my home in Kunwu City yesterday and brought some pretty good tea. Do you want some?"
"Yes," Lu Chen answered without hesitation.
"En." Yi Xin seemed to be a bit happy and giggled. But soon after, she seemed to remember something and said, "Right, there's one more thing. Yesterday, when I was about to leave the city, a fatty suddenly stopped me and asked me to tell you that the 'Blue Butterfly Dew' you ordered last time has arrived. He asked you to go down the mountain to get it when you have time."
Lu Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.
