As Lu Chen sat in the straw hut, he recalled the conversation he had with Su Qingjun and suddenly felt that Atsu was quite pitiful. If he really took out two thousand Spirit Stones and threw it out, would there be people who would want to be dogs?
Well, this was not a question that he could think about in detail!
Lu Chen hurriedly cast this thought aside. Then, in the following time, he either went to the spiritual fields outside the hut to take care of the Eagle Fruit Tree, or he casually walked around the area and looked at the beautiful scenery of the Flying Goose Terrace. He watched the clouds and the sky as vast as the sea. He was prepared to wait like this until the sky turned dark, then find an opportunity to go down the mountain to see if there would be any unexpected gains from the trap he had set.
But unexpectedly, this seemingly quiet Flying Goose Terrace was unexpectedly visited by more people before dusk, and it was not just one person. There were two groups of three people in total.
The first group was people that Lu Chen knew. They were Sumo and Su Qian, who had a conflict with He Changsheng and the others in the Fragrance Garden.
In view of the previous incident, although Su Qingjun did not show any particularly obvious dissatisfaction, Lu Chen still consciously hid in the straw hut further away. He could not hear the conversation over there, and could only see a little bit of the situation over there through the gap in the window.
Similar to the scene when Su Biao came, Sumo and Su Qian also waited at the door for a long time. After about an hour, Su Qingjun finally came to open the door.
This slow reaction made Lu Chen almost suspect that Su Qingjun had really reached the Jin Dan realm and had good hearing and sight. Or perhaps this woman's words and actions did not match, and she was actually trying to show her strength to these people?
"This is a little strange!"
Lu Chen leaned against the window and watched curiously. Even if they were family, Su Qingjun's place was completely different from what he'd imagined. She'd only focused on cultivation every day, but it was really different from what he'd imagined.
After Su Qingjun came out, she still looked as cold and beautiful as ever. Sumo and Su Qian also seemed to be very respectful towards this big sister, and hurriedly bowed to her. Then, the three of them began to talk at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing this, Lu Chen suddenly frowned and exclaimed.
Something didn't seem right …
Including Su Biao in front of him, these people were all his blood brothers. Logically speaking, he should at least invite them into the cave abode to drink tea and talk quietly, right? But why were all of them just standing outside the cave?
Looking at the expressions of Sumo and Su Qian, it seemed that they were used to this. It seemed that this was the rule of Su Qingjun's place. Lu Chen looked at the cave abode behind Su Qingjun from afar. He saw that behind the stone door was deep and unfathomable, and he basically couldn't see anything.
The three of them talked for a while. Su Qian was slightly better, but Sumo had an excited expression on her face. She said many things to Su Qingjun, and in the middle, she gesticulated and begged for a while. Su Qingjun, on the other hand, frowned, nodded and shook her head from time to time, and occasionally revealed a helpless expression.
In the end, Su Qingjun finally waved her hand. She first said something to Su Qian, and then sternly reprimanded Sumo. However, the two of them had a happy expression on their faces, and laughed out loud. After repeatedly thanking Su Qingjun, they quickly left.
Su Qingjun turned around and returned to the cave abode. But not long after the stone door closed, Lu Chen was lying peacefully in the straw hut, waiting for the sky to turn dark. Suddenly, he heard movement outside. He was stunned for a moment, and climbed up to take a look. He then muttered, "It can't be, why is it so lively?"
In just a short while, another person came up from the foot of the mountain. In a flash, he also ran to the entrance of Su Qingjun's cave abode. With a "putong" sound, he directly knelt down, and then hugged the door, banging and shouting with all his might.
Even Lu Chen, who was so far away, could hear a few indistinct words.
"Elder Sister Jun, Jun … Elder Sister, you must … seek justice … Ah …"
Lu Chen, who was in the straw hut next to him, could clearly see that the third person who came was a girl. She was very young, and looked to be one or two years younger than Su Qingjun. When she came, her footsteps were light, and her expression was calm. Once she was near the entrance of the cave abode, she immediately revealed a sorrowful expression, and two streams of tears flowed down her face.
What was even more strange was that after this girl knocked on the stone door for a while, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She suddenly reached out to her shoulder, and grabbed the lapel of her clothes. She forcefully tore it, and immediately tore a hole. Then, she lay at the entrance of the cave, and cried even louder.
This time, because it wasn't too long since Sumo and Su Qian left, Su Qingjun came out much faster than before. After a while, she heard the rumbling sound of the stone door opening.
As soon as Su Qingjun walked out, she saw the girl kneeling in front of her. Her clothes were disheveled, and her face was full of tears. She was instantly shocked, and hurriedly went up to the girl. She used both hands to help the girl up, and then asked repeatedly, her face revealing a worried and anxious expression.
In the distance, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at the straw hut with great interest. He shook his head and said to himself with a smile, "The people in the Su family … are quite interesting."
…
Because Lu Chen had gone to the Flying Goose Terrace to help Su Qingjun plant the Eagle Fruit Tree, and he would be gone for at least twenty days, Black Dog became a problem.
Lu Chen had originally asked people if he could bring Atsu to the Flying Goose Terrace, and those who were asked looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
How could a fairy-like person like Su Qingjun be together with a dog?
Lu Chen was also speechless. Later, he asked around for a while and found that the situation might be true. Girls from aristocratic families like Su Qingjun and Yi Xin had basically never had much contact with pets since they were young, so it was hard to say whether they would like Atsu from the bottom of their hearts like Yi Xin did.
It would be too troublesome if more problems arose because of this. Anyway, they would only be staying for twenty days, so after Lu Chen thought about it, Black Dog began a lonely life as a dog.
Every day, it would run out on its own, take care of its own food, drink, and defecate. When it was dark, it would run back on its own, crawl into the house through the small dog hole, and sleep. Yi Xin did think of it, so she specially ran over to see Ah-Tu. When they met, Yi Xin was shocked. Seeing Ah-Tu's miserable appearance, she couldn't bear to look at it. She immediately burst into tears.
But compared to Yi Xin's sadness, Atsu seemed to be much stronger. It looked indifferent all day long, even though it only had one eye and half a tail, and there were many terrible wounds on its body. But these wounds seemed to be unable to stop Atsu's yearning for the mountains and forests, even if Yi Xin begged.
For a long time, except for Lu Chen, Atsu had almost never been close to humans. Yi Xin was an exception, and she could talk to it a little bit. But every time Yi Xin wanted to take Atsu away, Atsu firmly refused.
It seemed it would rather go back to that cold and lonely house every night and sleep alone, but it also seemed to have incomparable patience, quietly waiting for Lu Chen's return.
Unconsciously, this black dog's life and Lu Chen's seemed to have become intertwined, and it was unwilling to be separated.
…
The setting sun shone on Kunwu City.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on a secluded courtyard. This was an unremarkable place in Kunwu City. It had been bought a long time ago, and then it was left alone for a long time. It wasn't until a few days ago that someone suddenly moved in.
Since the day the new owner moved in, he had been living in seclusion, almost never going out. The neighbors hadn't seen him for such a long time, nor had anyone come to visit him.
The courtyard's gate was so lonely and quiet, as if it wasn't a person living inside, but a soul of nothingness.
Until one day, a man suddenly came here, walked into this secluded courtyard, and forcibly pulled the person hiding in the dark outside, letting the rays of the setting sun shine on his body.
In the light of the setting sun, that person let out strange roars and sounds of resentment. His entire face was hideous and ugly, like torn rotten meat, and he looked more like a ghost than a human.
He Yi forcefully threw his younger brother to the ground. A trace of pain and regret flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face was filled with extreme anger. He even raised his foot and ruthlessly kicked He Gang a few times.
He Gang rolled on the ground, screaming a few times, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest. Or perhaps it was because he had long lost hope in himself. In front of his only elder brother in the world, he was like a wailing wild dog, shedding painful tears.
"What are you crying for?!"
He Yi suddenly let out a low roar, grabbed He Gang's shirt by the chest, lifted him up, and directly slapped his face.
He Gang was slapped until the corner of his mouth was bleeding, but he still didn't make a sound. Looking at He Yi in the eyes, there seemed to be only numbness left.
"Just beat me to death, big brother." He looked at his handsome, perfect, and his only elder brother in the world, and said bitterly, "I, I only brought shame to you, and even caused you to be insulted and punished. In the end, you were even driven out of the Kunlun Party like a dog. Big brother, don't, don't worry about me, let me die. "
He Yi's face was livid, and he slapped He Gang again, causing him to roll on the ground. Then he grabbed him back, and his eyes seemed to be emitting fire. He glared at him and shouted, "Look at yourself, what have you become now? If you weren't my brother, I would really want to kill you with one slap! "
He Gang smiled bitterly, "If my death can free you, can let you be valued and cultivated by the sect again, then what's the harm in my death?" Tears kept flowing down from the corner of his eyes, and he choked, "I have a rotten life, it's fine if I end up like this today, but big brother, you clearly have a great future, but I have implicated you, I, I …"
He Yi snorted coldly, but the gaze in the depths of his eyes finally softened. He walked to the side of the stone steps and sat down, then sneered, "Why do you think I was able to come out of seclusion, and then come down the mountain to find you?"
He Gang was stunned, and then his eyes slowly lit up with a glimmer of light.
