Lying on the bed in the hut, Lu Chen used his hands as a pillow. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind. What happened outside the hut seemed to have nothing to do with him. Noon had passed, and it was quiet outside. The Feiyan Platform seemed to have returned to its original state.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the hut.
Lu Chen walked over and opened the door. Seeing Su Qingjun standing outside, he smiled and said, "Are you done?"
Su Qingjun smiled and said, "Yes, my master has left."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he looked at his shabby hut and said, "This hut is small and shabby. It's too crowded for two people to stand. I won't invite you in."
Su Qingjun glanced at his hut and was slightly startled. She said, "Eh, it's not very good."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said, "This hut was built on your Feiyan Platform. Don't you know?"
Su Qingjun said, "I really didn't know. This hut was built by your Baicao Tang people. You see, I can't possibly build a hut for you to live in, right? Besides, I really don't know how to do this. "
Lu Chen nodded. He thought that if it was really Su Qingjun, this hut might be spacious and comfortable. It was just that the Baicao Tang people looked down on the odd-job disciples. The Eagle Fruit Tree had to be taken care of, but of course, no one cared about his hut. It was good enough to have a place to lie down.
However, the two of them felt a little awkward talking to each other through a door. Thus, Lu Chen simply walked out of the thatched hut. The two of them stood on the ridge of the spirit field. A few cool breezes blew past and white clouds floated in the distance. It made them feel refreshed all of a sudden.
"When did you come back?" Lu Chen asked Su Qingjun.
Su Qingjun said, "Just now."
Lu Chen clicked his tongue and said, "Then when you activated the Heart Burning Talisman just now …"
"I arrived just in time. I took a detour to the back of the mountain and came down."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Did I tell you before that you're actually very good at lying when you're serious?"
Su Qingjun's fair cheeks blushed slightly, and she said angrily, "Nonsense, there's no such thing."
Lu Chen laughed and then told her about what happened in the morning. After listening, Su Qingjun's face showed a trace of apology and said, "It's really been hard on you, but I really didn't misjudge you. You really are smarter than them."
After a pause, Su Qingjun continued, "The Spirit Stones are in the Immortal's Cave. I don't have them on me right now. I'll go back and get them for you later."
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand, and with a carefree expression, he said, "You're too kind. How can I not believe you? You can get them whenever you want, there's no hurry."
Su Qingjun looked at him and said, "You're really not in a hurry?"
Lu Chen said seriously, "No, it's very urgent!"
…
Standing at the edge of the field, the mountain breeze blew past. For some reason, probably because the burden on her mind was gone, Su Qingjun had a rare smile on her face and looked relaxed.
She looked at the Eagle Fruit Trees and asked, "How are the Eagle Fruits?"
Lu Chen said, "You're really lucky. There were no accidents and no fruits ripened. But I estimate that from tomorrow onwards, there will be Eagle Fruits that will ripen. I'll keep an eye on this place. Do you … "
Su Qingjun smiled sweetly and said, "I know. I won't go anywhere other than Flying Goose Terrace."
Lu Chen said, "Really?"
Su Qingjun said, "Look at what you're saying. I've already said all that, why do you still look like you don't believe me?"
"Because you said the same thing yesterday, and then secretly ran away last night."
"Uh …" Su Qingjun was speechless for a moment. After a while, she smiled and said, "Wasn't it because I had urgent matters to attend to! Anyway, now that the urgent matter is over, I really won't leave … Huh, why are you looking at me like that? "
Lu Chen stared at Su Qingjun's beautiful face, and after a while, he nodded and said, "In the past, I always thought that you were always cold and arrogant. Who would have thought that after getting to know you a little, I would find that you're actually quite easygoing."
Su Qingjun was also slightly startled, and then she felt a little strange in her heart. Other than her own Su family members, this was actually the first time that she had spoken so much to a lowly Odd Job Disciple.
She was also a little hesitant, but then she heard Lu Chen say from the side, "In that case, I have a few words that I don't really want to say, but I don't know if you want to hear them?"
Seeing that he was speaking seriously, Su Qingjun's expression also became somewhat serious. After a moment of silence, she said solemnly, "Please advise me."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not really advice. I'm just a Odd Job Disciple, and I don't dare to have that kind of thought. It's just that in my opinion, you have too many relatives in your family. In the twenty days that you've eaten the Eagle Fruit, I think it's very difficult for you to guarantee that no one will come looking for you again, right? "
Su Qingjun was silent.
"If at that time they cry incessantly, saying that they've encountered a huge problem and only you can help solve it, what will you do?" Lu Chen looked at Su Qingjun's beautiful face and said lightly, "At that time, will you go down the mountain or not? Are you sure there won't be any problems with this choice? "
Su Qingjun was silent for a long time, then she smiled bitterly and said softly, "I don't know."
Lu Chen looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You've been tired for the whole morning, go back to sleep."
After saying this, Lu Chen turned around and walked back to the thatched hut. Seeing that somewhat shabby wooden door close in front of her, Su Qingjun slightly lowered her head. The excitement and joy from rushing back in time suddenly disappeared for some reason.
She stared blankly at the thatched hut, then looked at the Eagle Fruit Tree in the spirit field. After a while, she silently turned around and walked towards the cave in the distance.
…
The Feiyan Terrace was very quiet in the afternoon. In the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone down. Lu Chen suddenly saw a gap in the window next to him, and then a woman stood outside and said,
"I have a very delicious spirit fruit here, do you want to eat it?"
"Yes!"
Lu Chen jumped up.
Under the setting sun, the Feiyan Terrace was covered with a layer of red coat. Lu Chen and Su Qingjun sat side by side on the ridge of the field, a little distance apart. There was a plate in the middle of the ground, on which there were eight or nine bright red spirit fruits like peaches, and there were four or five fruit pits on the ground next to them.
Lu Chen was holding a spirit fruit in his hand, and he was chewing it. Su Qingjun looked at him, and the expression on her face changed from a little surprise to a little amusement, and then she really laughed and said,
"You really don't have to be polite?"
Lu Chen said, "Nonsense, I usually can't eat these spirit fruits, why would I let go of this opportunity?"
"You're really interesting."
"Hmm?"
"I'm a little different from others."
"How is it different?"
"As a servant disciple, you don't seem to have much respect for me, Jin Dan Friar, and you talk to me very naturally and easygoing, which is rare. Well, I don't mean anything else, I think it's good this way. "
Lu Chen's hand paused for a moment, and his eyes flickered, and he said, "Is that true? Maybe I heard someone say that before."
"Really? Who is it?"
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "A bald old guy, far worse than you."
"Oh …" Su Qingjun nodded, and then she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and didn't continue to speak.
But Lu Chen looked at her, and then he gently threw away another fruit pit in his hand, and then said with a smile,
"I've eaten this spirit fruit, you can ask me anything you want."
Su Qingjun glared at him, and suddenly burst into laughter, and then she sighed, "It's so easy to talk to a smart person like you." As she said that, she sat up straight, and said, "Well, I won't beat around the bush. What you said to me at the end of the day, I actually understand that it's a big problem, but I … well, anyway, you know, it's a bit difficult, and I don't know what to do. Judging from what you said before, maybe you have a good idea? "
Lu Chen clapped his hands, and said, "This matter actually depends on how you look at it."
"How so?"
"Those relatives of yours came to bother you with all kinds of things for so long, is it really a matter of life and death?"
Su Qingjun was silent.
Lu Chen said again, "You said that people are different from each other, and the small things in our eyes may be a matter of life and death in the eyes of others. But I don't believe that you haven't thought that those things really can't be delayed, right? Delay it for a few days, and you don't have to deal with it immediately, okay? "
Su Qingjun's gaze swept into the distance, still not saying a word, but this silence seemed to have explained something.
After a while, Su Qingjun nodded, and said softly, "What you said actually makes a lot of sense, but sometimes, I still …"
"Still can't put down your pride?" Lu Chen said lightly.
Su Qingjun smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, it's also the first time I've seen a proud daughter of an aristocratic family like you." Lu Chen said, "I always feel that the whole Su family has to be on my shoulders, and I have to solve everything by myself. When others come to beg you, you're shy and embarrassed to refuse them. "
Su Qingjun frowned with some distress, and after a while, she suddenly realized that the surroundings had quietened down. She raised her head in surprise, and looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Why don't you continue?"
Lu Chen sighed, and said, "I've already said it so directly, so seriously, and you're still not angry?"
Su Qingjun shook her head, and said, "What you said is the truth, what's there for me to be angry about."
Lu Chen stared at her for a while, and the gaze in the depths of his eyes gradually became gentler, and then he nodded, and said, "Alright."
"Hmm?"
"I have a way to help you."
