"I'll go down the mountain tomorrow," Lu Chen said to Su Qingjun, who was standing not far away, as he sat on the ridge of the field with his back against a big tree.
It was already dusk. Su Qingjun had stayed in the cave for a day and would come out to walk around at this time. It was a relatively fixed habit for her these days. Lu Chen didn't know if she had this habit when she lived alone on the Feiyan Terrace, but under normal circumstances, dusk was a fixed time for him to chat with this woman. Most of the time, it was relatively relaxing.
Speaking of which, perhaps it was because she had made a big fuss when she returned to the Su family a while ago, which frightened the family. So these days, the Feiyan Terrace was unusually quiet. Often, no one came up for a few days. Occasionally, some people came over, but they were some friends of Su Qingjun from the Kunlun Party. No one from the Su family came.
Su Qingjun didn't have much of a reaction to this, at least in front of Lu Chen. These days, she looked very calm, but no one knew what this woman was thinking in the depths of her heart.
Lu Chen wouldn't ask anything. After Su Qingjun made a big fuss in the Su family and returned to the mountain, the two of them quickly stopped talking about this matter. But compared to before, their relationship was undoubtedly much closer. Even Su Qingjun could joke with Lu Chen more casually in private.
At this moment, Su Qingjun smiled and asked Lu Chen, "What are you going to do? I see that you're very free recently. How about growing more spiritual herbs in the spiritual field?"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "I'm going to go down the mountain for a walk. In addition, I know some small things that you definitely haven't seen before. I'll bring some back for you to broaden your horizons."
"Huh?" Su Qingjun was only joking at first, but her curiosity was piqued after hearing Lu Chen's explanation. She asked, "What is it? It sounds very interesting. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You'll know when I bring it back. I'll come to see you tomorrow night."
"Oh, okay."
…
The next morning, Lu Chen got up and went down the mountain with the Black Dog. Now that he was a nominal disciple of Jin Dan Friar, his identity was different. He was no longer as embarrassed as before.
Dogs were valued by their owners. Recently, Atsu could also follow Lu Chen to wander around openly, ignoring the original rule of the Kunlun Party that no one could keep a dog casually.
The dog raised by the disciple of the genius Jin Dan, how could it be an ordinary dog?
On the way down the mountain and into Kunwu City, Lu Chen didn't rush to find Old Ma in the secluded alley. Instead, he took Atsu to wander around the street. Along the way, he bought a lot of meat and bones for Atsu. He put them in a bag and carried them all the way to Black Hill Pavilion to feed Atsu.
This made Atsu greedy. Along the way, it drooled and stared at the bag in Lu Chen's hand. It couldn't see anything else. Then, Lu Chen wandered around the street for a while and bought a few things before he took Atsu back to Black Hill Pavilion.
After entering the house and going to the small courtyard in the back, Lu Chen scattered the meat and bones on the ground in a corner. Atsu immediately roared and rushed over to pounce on the food like a fierce dog, chewing loudly.
At the side, Old Ma was amused and said with a smile, "This guy must've been starving on the mountain. Why is he eating like this? It's like he hasn't eaten anything in eight lifetimes."
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "It's living a very comfortable life, so you don't need to worry about it. How about I leave it with you and you take care of it?"
Old Ma immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything. I can't afford to take care of this dog."
The two of them sat facing each other. Old Ma looked at him and said, "It hasn't been long since you went down the mountain. Why did you come back? Besides, there are many people from the Su family in this city. Aren't you afraid of another accident? "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "The Su family won't dare to court disaster again. It's fine."
Old Ma said with a smile, "You sound so sure. It seems you have a card up your sleeve."
Lu Chen snorted and said, "In any case, the Su family is an old aristocratic family that has been entrenched in Kunwu City for many years. There must be a few people in the family who understand the situation. With the current situation, anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge knows that the Su family will rely on Su Qingjun the most in the future. Not everyone is as stupid as those wastes and that Madame Bai. "
Old Ma nodded and said, "You're right. If I were a member of the Su family, the most important thing right now would be to ease the relationship with Eldest Miss Su as soon as possible and use their blood relationship to move her. The more we do, the more mistakes we'll make. It'd be best if we didn't do anything."
There was some regret on Lu Chen's face. He said, "That's right. I originally thought I'd draw out a few more wastes today and see if I could use this opportunity to stir up trouble and sow discord between Su Qingjun and that family. Unfortunately, there really are people with discerning eyes. I wasted my time walking around the streets."
Old Ma sneered and said, "You're too evil. You want to destroy the Su family from the root."
Lu Chen sneered but didn't say anything.
… …
"Right, there's one more thing. If you have time, can you help me pay attention to He Yi's recent movements and see if there's anything strange?" Lu Chen said to Old Ma.
"He Yi?" Old Ma frowned and his eyes seemed to suddenly look a little strange. He looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this person?"
Lu Chen didn't hide it and casually repeated what Yi Xin had said to him. In the end, he said, "I've always felt that this He Yi is a little strange. Last time, he was clearly forced into seclusion, but after a period of time, he was suddenly released for no reason. It seems that he's been wandering around the Kunlun Party recently and seems to be meeting people everywhere."
Old Ma's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. Lu Chen noticed his expression and said, "What's wrong?"
Old Ma looked at him meaningfully and said, "You're right. He Yi is indeed strange."
"Hmm?"
"Do you remember I told you last time that someone was investigating the matter of the cinnabar?"
"I remember. What did you find?" Lu Chen asked.
Old Ma laughed coldly and said, "The person who was investigating was He Gang."
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly and he sat up a little straighter. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "But you said before that the person who investigated this matter showed a token of the Kunlun Party to some big shops?"
"That's right."
Lu Chen's eyes slowly lit up and he said, "But He Gang has clearly been chased out of the sect by the Kunlun Party?"
"That's right." Old Ma had a faint smile on his face and said, "In other words, he shouldn't have this kind of thing."
Lu Chen looked at Old Ma and said slowly, "But he has it and showed it to others. The person who could give him this kind of token … "
"It can only be He Yi."
Lu Chen fell silent and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as if he had thought of more things. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "In other words, the person who wanted to investigate the cinnabar matter was He Yi himself. It was just that he couldn't do it himself, so he sent He Gang to do it."
Old Ma nodded and said, "That's right. He Gang did this secretly. It took me a lot of effort to confirm that it was him."
Lu Chen's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he said in a low voice, "The cinnabar is usually not important, but recently it is related to a murder case of the Devil Sect on the Kunlun mountain. He Yi suddenly came out of seclusion and intervened in this matter, so the reason why he was suddenly released …"
The corner of his mouth slowly showed a hint of a smile, but it was not gentle and carried a hint of coldness. After looking at Old Ma, Old Ma pointed a finger at him with an indifferent expression.
"He's coming for you."
…
"I didn't expect that there would be someone secretly pursuing me on the Kunlun mountain. This feeling …" Lu Chen clicked his tongue.
Old Ma squinted at him and said, "What's so strange about it? Haven't you been like this for so many years? You should be used to it, right?"
"Well, you're right." Lu Chen nodded and said, "But since we know this person's purpose, it's all the more important that we investigate him."
He looked at Old Ma. Old Ma nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Good!"
After saying these words, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. At the same time, there was a faint hint of excitement on their faces. For the shadow hiding in the dark, discovering such a secret might have a different feeling.
"Hey, I see that you're in good spirits recently." Old Ma said to Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen said, "Yes, I'm busy with revenge. There are so many debts to collect. If I don't be in good spirits, how can I finish it?"
Old Ma glanced at him and said, "No, I feel that you're not the same as before. When you were a shadow, you always looked bitter and hateful all day, as if you would turn hostile and kill people at the slightest disagreement. But it's different now. "
Lu Chen was startled and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Old Ma stared at him and said, "These days, I always feel that you seem to be more cheerful than before. Has your temperament changed? Or is there someone on the Kunlun mountain that made your mood better? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. Then, he suddenly laughed and scolded Old Ma with a smile, "Bullsh * t! I'm a shadow, and there are thousands of incarnations. How can you see through me? How do you know that what I showed you before wasn't fake, and that what you see now is real? "
Old Ma nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. Sometimes, I really can't see through you. But look at yourself. Aren't you tired of living like this? "He smiled and said to Lu Chen," There's only the two of us here. Just relax. Otherwise, if you keep pretending, I'm afraid that you'll go crazy in the future. "
"Go to hell. I won't go crazy even if you go crazy!" Lu Chen scolded.
Old Ma laughed and walked to the side to tease Atsu, who was still eating. Lu Chen looked at his back, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
