"So what do I say? Are you going to thank me?"
After knocking on Lu Chen's door and walking in, Yi Xin leaned against the table with a smug look on her face, giggling as she spoke to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen nodded repeatedly and said with a straight face, "Of course, it's all thanks to Miss Yi's sharp eyes that I had this opportunity."
"Hehe!" Yi Xin looked even happier. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said proudly, "It can't be helped, I'm just so smart. That day, I ran into Sister Su on the road. Although I only spoke a few words to her, I could tell from her words that she was very concerned about the Eagle Fruits. So I thought, if I don't care about other people's matters, how could she not care about herself? Since Martial Aunt Yan and Martial Aunt Lin aren't around, she'll definitely go and take a look herself, right? "
Lu Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes," as if he had suddenly seen the light. "You're really too smart, too quick-witted!"
Yi Xin sighed, a pained expression on her face as she said, "It's a pity that the others all think they're so smart. Whenever there's a chance, they'll slack off. Sister Su is secretly watching from the side, so of course she won't like it. So, looking at your diligent appearance and the fact that you've cultivated the Eagle Fruits well, it'd be strange if she didn't choose you. So, "she said to Lu Chen in a serious tone," Brother Lu, in the future, you should remember this lesson. Don't be reckless, don't be lazy! "
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll remember it all. Whatever you say is right." Lu Chen chuckled, as if no matter what Yi Xin said, he would listen with infinite patience. So much so that Yi Xin herself was a little embarrassed from bragging. She blushed and glared at him.
"Whatever, did I help you this time?" Yi Xin asked.
"You've been a great help," Lu Chen said.
Yi Xin stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Then why don't you give me some benefits? Hand it over quickly!"
"How about I devote myself to you?"
"What?!" Yi Xin was startled. She blushed and said, "Hey, Brother Lu, you're not being serious again. What are you talking about?"
Lu Chen laughed and waved his hand. "I'm just kidding."
"How can you joke around like this all the time? When we first met in the Land of Chaos, you even asked me to marry you. You're too shameless!"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "I asked you to repay me with your body, but you're not willing. If it's my turn to repay you with my body, you're still not willing. Wow, you're too difficult to talk to!"
"Hey … can't you talk nicely, Brother Lu?" Yi Xin looked like she was about to jump on the table in anger. Her face was red and even her eyes were watery.
Lu Chen shrugged and pulled her to sit down. Then, he said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's not joke around. I'm more than ten years older than you. I can't bully a little girl like you … Oh, but speaking of gifts, I really don't know what to give you. "
Yi Xin suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
Lu Chen didn't notice. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he said, "How about this, I don't have anything good with me now. When you find a suitable husband in the future, on the day of your wedding, I'll give you the best gift, okay?"
"On the day of my wedding?" Yi Xin still looked a little shy, but her eyes were bright and clear, like gentle water ripples, flickering with beautiful, ever-changing, sparkling glimmers as she asked softly.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Yes."
Yi Xin looked at him for a while. Then, she suddenly giggled and said, "Okay, but you said it yourself. You must want the best thing, the best gift!"
Lu Chen stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "A gentleman's word!"
Yi Xin nodded her head heavily. She also extended her fair palm and clapped it on his palm. With a clear and melodious sound, she said loudly, "It's a promise!"
Their palms touched for a moment. There seemed to be a trace of an unusual softness in their palms. Lu Chen withdrew his hand and walked to the side of the bed to sit down. As if he suddenly thought of something, he said to himself, "Ah, let me think, I can't be considered a gentleman …"
"Hey!" Yi Xin jumped eight feet high. She rushed over and pushed him down angrily. Lu Chen fell on the bed and laughed. Yi Xin found it funny and angry at the same time. She stretched out her hand and hit him a few times. She said angrily, "You're too bad, too bad. You just made a promise and you want to renege on it. You … you're too bad!"
…
The sky was clear and bright, and the world was clear and bright.
The majestic Kunlun Mountain Range stood on the earth. It was like a majestic giant. In its embrace, there were countless living beings. It also hid unknown darkness and shadows.
When the warm sunlight fell on the house, everything looked so quiet and peaceful. There was almost no one around. Therefore, the sound of footsteps that broke the silence was unusually clear and loud.
Two people came. They were Dukon Zhenren and his disciple, He Yi.
There were disciples guarding a place about ten feet away from the house. However, after He Yi handed over Immortal Idle Month's letter, they quickly stepped aside. Several gazes fell on He Yi's face. It seemed that they were more interested in this young man than the respected Dukon Zhenren.
He Yi's face was somewhat similar to his younger brother, He Gang. Of course, that was before He Gang's face was disfigured.
They hadn't seen each other for many days. Perhaps it was because he had been in seclusion in the cave for a long time without seeing the sun, He Yi's face looked a little pale. However, other than that, he was full of spirit and energy. His expression was calm. It seemed that he had not been affected by that incident at all.
When they walked to the door of the house, Dukon Zhenren stopped. He Yi, who had been half a step behind him, also stopped.
There was no one around. Dukon Zhenren looked at his disciple. His eyes finally showed a trace of relief. He smiled and said, "Actually, when I agreed to Sect Leader Senior Brother's request, I was still a little worried for you. However, this opportunity was too rare for you. I could only snatch it first."
He Yi's face showed a trace of gratitude. He lowered his head and said softly, "Master's kindness is too great. It's really hard for this disciple to repay you."
"However, seeing you like this, I am also relieved." Dukon Zhenren didn't care. He smiled and said, "I was worried that the incident would be too big of a blow to you. It would affect your temperament and confuse your cultivation. Now, it seems that not only have you not been affected, but you have also made progress. You should be only one step away from breaking through the Jin Dan realm, right?"
He Yi smiled. His face was calm and determined. He didn't say anything.
Dukon Zhenren nodded and said, "You are right. You have not achieved your potential yet. You should hide and endure. If you can use this setback as a sharpening, it will be very beneficial to your cultivation in the future." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something. He smiled faintly and said, "Now, everyone in the sect thinks that Su Qingjun is a genius. I don't think so. In the future, her achievements may not be able to surpass yours. "
Even with He Yi's calm temperament, he was shocked when he heard this. He said, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Su Qingjun has her own talent. She is indeed powerful. However, the reason why she can break through the Jin Dan realm so early is that the Su family and her master, Mu Yuan, have been sparing no effort to accumulate all kinds of spiritual materials and resources. This is also an important reason. The Su family hopes that there will be another Yuanying Zhenren in their family. For this, they can do anything. As far as I know, her master, Mu Yuan, has an even greater ambition! "
"Greater ambition than Yuanying Zhenren …" He Yi's expression changed slightly. He said softly, "You mean Martial Uncle Mu Yuan wants Junior Sister Su … to become a Perfected Cultivator?"
"Of course." Dukon Zhenren sneered and said, "Mu Yuan is the leader of the Iron Branch of our sect. He has long been dissatisfied with the decline of the Iron Branch for many years. However, with his ability, how can he shake the Kunzhi? After all, there are two Perfected Cultivators, Bai Chen and Tianlan, in the Kunzhi."
"Therefore, if the Iron Branch wants to prosper, the only hope is for a peerless genius to rise up and become a Perfected Cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm. In this way, there will naturally be a storm and a meteoric rise!"
He Yi was silent. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Master is right. It's no wonder that Shibo Kihara takes good care of Junior Sister Su. I heard that he is extremely demanding in his cultivation. He doesn't allow any mistakes and doesn't allow any regrets." At this point, He Yi also smiled and said, "It must be hard for Junior Sister Su to cultivate under such heavy pressure and bravely advance all the way to where she is today."
Dao Master Du Kong smiled mischievously. There was a look of disapproval on his face as he said, "It's still too early. Let's wait and watch the show." He paused for a moment, then looked at He Yi and said, "In short, the path of cultivation is long and dangerous. You still have a long way to go. Xiao Yi, you have talent, but in the future, you must be able to calm your heart and cultivate in peace. Only then will you be able to achieve great things."
He Yi took a step back and bowed deeply to Dukon Zhenren. He said in a low voice, "I will remember Master's teachings."
Dukon Zhenren nodded and said, "That's all. Just remember it. Let's go in."
He Yi said, "Yes." He stepped forward and prepared to push the door.
Dukon Zhenren said, "This matter is related to the Evil Faction. It is of great importance. Sect Head Shixiong attaches great importance to it. You must investigate carefully and try to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Find out the truth."
He Yi said, "Yes, disciple understands."
With a creaking sound, the two doors were pushed open by his hands. A gloomy aura gushed out from the room. It seemed that the light from the outside could not penetrate the room for a while, but a strange and unpleasant smell wafted out.
He Yi was about to walk in when he suddenly heard Dukon Zhenren sneer behind him. He Yi turned his head and said, "Master, what's wrong?"
Dukon Zhenren said, "Nothing. I just suddenly thought of something. I can't help but laugh at Mu Yuan's wishful thinking."
"What is it?"
Perfected Dukong said leisurely, "Muyuan has great ambitions. He did everything he could to help his disciple attain Golden Core, even earlier than the two Perfected Lords, Bai Chen and Tian Lan. Everyone in Kunlun thinks that he's a peerless genius. But he only cares about being happy. He did not think about whether the two powerful peerless Zhenren of Kunlun are happy about their Tiezhi's method or not. "
With that, Dukon Zhenren laughed alone.
He Yi stood at the side and looked at the house not far away. Looking at the deep darkness inside, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
