That day, Su Qingjun tried the roasted loach out of curiosity. Unfortunately, she didn't get to taste the mouthwatering, lingering delicacy that Lu Chen mentioned. After frowning a few times, Su Qingjun put down these ugly and seemingly ordinary things.
"It doesn't seem to be to my liking. I don't think it's that delicious," Su Qingjun said to Lu Chen, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lu Chen looked at her and smiled. He also picked up the other roasted loach and took a few bites. After a while, he spat it out on the ground and said, "En, it really doesn't taste good."
Su Qingjun said with a smile, "It's probably because you brought it all the way from Kunwu City to the mountain. It's such a long journey, so it's probably already cold. Also, it's not too fresh, so the taste is a bit bad. Next time we have a chance, we should find some freshly made roasted loach. Maybe it'll taste better. "
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with that. I remember when I was a kid, I occasionally ate this thing. Even if it was overnight, I still ate it until my mouth watered. This roasted loach didn't change; it was me who changed. "
On the edge of the cliff on Flying Goose Terrace, there was a moment of silence. The two of them didn't say anything. In the distance, the Black Dog's snorts could be heard. It seemed like it had run into the forest and caught something, so it was happily playing around.
After a while, Su Qingjun smiled and said to Lu Chen, "In fact, isn't this a good thing? You've become a better person. It can't be that you want to go back to the bitter days you had when you were a kid, right? "
Lu Chen smiled and nodded. "You're right. I've become a better person."
He put away the snacks and said to Su Qingjun with a smile, "I wanted to let you eat something you've never eaten before to broaden your horizons and tease you. In the end, I messed it up. I'm so embarrassed. I've made a fool of myself in front of you."
Su Qingjun hurriedly said, "No, no. In fact … in fact, I'm also very happy because I've never eaten or even seen these things before." She seemed to be lost in thought as she spoke.
…
Late at night, the Flying Goose Terrace was silent.
Su Qingjun had already returned to her cave. At this moment, she looked at the stone wall and saw only a patch of moonlight shining on the smooth stone, reflecting the cold radiance. The wooden house where Lu Chen lived was on the other side of Flying Goose Terrace, and it was closer to the edge of the cliff. At this moment, the moonlight fell on the wooden house and shone through the open window.
It was late at night, but Lu Chen was still awake.
Atsu was lying by his feet, curled up into a ball and asleep. Ever since it was seriously injured, whenever Atsu slept, as long as Lu Chen was by his side, it would definitely snuggle up to him.
Lu Chen tried to chase it off the bed a few times, but Atsu would cling to him tenaciously every time. In the end, Lu Chen let it be.
The night was bleak and the moonlight was cold. He put his hand behind his head as a pillow. His eyes were bright as he stared at the moonlight outside the window.
He always seemed to be like this. In the dark night, as long as he didn't sleep, he would be abnormally awake.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky and was reflected in the depths of his eyes. It was like the shadow of the moon floating in the dark sea, faintly changing with a strange luster. Lu Chen looked at the bright moon. At this moment, the shape of the moon was no longer that of a full moon. Instead, it was slightly thinner.
He calculated the time in his mind and then said to himself in a low voice, "There are still twenty-four days."
In another twenty-four days, it would be the night of the next full moon.
That day, in that mysterious forest, he found the mysterious pattern hidden under the bark of the tree, which revealed a code mark that only a few people in this world could understand.
Meeting on the night of the full moon.
That was the most simple meaning of it.
It was an invitation from the depths of the darkness. Lu Chen understood it and received it. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad. All he could do was wait. Moreover, he didn't even tell Old Ma about this matter.
What would happen on the night of the next full moon?
He silently looked at the moon. After a while, he suddenly got up and closed the window.
…
On this day, He Yi went down the mountain and went straight to Kunwu City to find the place where He Gang lived.
The two brothers chatted in the room for a while. He Gang told his big brother about his harvest from the search for Zhu Sha. In the end, he said with a bit of shame, "Big Brother, I'm really useless. I spent so much time and effort, but I still didn't find any suspicious people."
He Yi didn't look angry. He shook his head and said, "You don't need to think too much. This is all normal. The Devil Cult of the Three Realms has been opposing our Righteous Path's famous sects for many years and has been hunted down and annihilated countless times. If it wasn't for some dirty tricks, I'm afraid they would have been eliminated by our Righteous Path's seniors long ago. It doesn't matter if you can't find them. "
He Gang carefully looked at him and said, "Big Brother, from what you said, could it be that you have some harvest in other places? I'm just afraid that if this drags on for too long, your master and Sect Head will become a bit impatient. "
He Yi said, "It doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about this. In fact, I've already told them about this matter. The Devil Cult's spy who can do such a big thing this time must have an extremely high position in the Devil Cult, and his cultivation must also not be low. Therefore, it can be imagined that he's hiding very deeply. It's very difficult to find him in a short time. Regarding this, the two masters both nodded. Moreover, on the surface, they also pretended to gradually forget about this matter, but in fact, they might be secretly trying to lure that scoundrel out again. "
"It'd be great if we could really catch that scoundrel!" He Gang said hatefully.
He Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Kunlun Party has several thousand years of history. It won't let these scoundrel act so easily. Sooner or later, we'll catch them. At that time, I'll help you plead with the two masters. In consideration of this contribution, maybe they can let you return to the Kunlun Party. "
He Gang's body trembled. His ugly face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He suddenly stood up and said, "Really? Big Brother, is this true? "
He Yi sighed and said, "You're my only younger brother. Why would I lie to you?"
He Gang was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly. For a moment, he seemed to be so excited that he couldn't speak. It was easy to imagine how important the Kunlun Party was in his heart.
Ever since he was a child, ever since he was sensible, he followed his big brother into the Kunlun Party. In his heart, Kunlun Mountain was his home. Apart from this, there was no other place. It was precisely because of this that when he was kicked out of the Kunlun Party after that accident, He Gang was completely disheartened and almost died numbly.
Fortunately, in this world, he still had a big brother who loved him the most, He Yi.
Soon after, He Yi chatted with He Gang for a while and repeatedly warned him to be careful in Kunwu City. At least, before this important event, he shouldn't stir up any more trouble.
He Gang naturally agreed one by one. Soon after, he told He Yi about what he had seen and heard in Kunwu City during this period of time. The most important part was the scene where the Su Clan's matter changed. From what he said, He Gang was very contemptuous of Su Qingjun. He indirectly hinted to his big brother that this woman was fickle and wasn't a good match for him. As for Lu Chen, this kind of unpresentable part-time disciple, He Gang didn't even feel like saying his name for fear of polluting his big brother's ears.
After listening to what He Yi said, He Yi shook his head and said, "Although my friendship with Su Qingjun isn't deep, I don't think she's that kind of person."
Anxious, He Gang promptly said, "Big Brother, I saw it with my own eyes …"
He Yi interrupted him and said while shaking his head, "You didn't see anything. It's just that Su Qingjun went back to the Su family. I know what to do about this matter. But for us brothers, Su Qingjun is just a passerby who has nothing to do with us. We don't need to curry favor with the Su family, but we also don't need to provoke them. Do you understand? "
After a moment of silence, He Gang nodded and said, "Okay."
He Yi looked at his younger brother and softened his voice. He said, "Xiaogang, I know you wholeheartedly want me to be well, but you don't have to be like this. We two brothers are actually the closest people in the world. To be honest, the only person I can trust with my life is you. I'll naturally deal with the other matters. You don't need to worry about me now. You just need to be yourself, okay? "
He Gang nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, Big Brother. Don't worry. "
He Yi smiled and patted He Gang's shoulder. He said, "When you return to Kunlun in the future, you and I will do great things together. The days ahead are still long. Who knows how far we can go in the future? Maybe we can even become the leader of Kunlun. Who knows? "
He Gang laughed and nodded repeatedly. A trace of excitement flashed through his eyes. It was as if he was full of expectations and longing for the future.
…
When He Yi left, he did not make a sound. In order to not attract attention, he even changed into another set of clothes and covered his face. Then, he left He Gang's house from another direction.
However, after he gradually walked away, an honest-looking man who was pulling a cart suddenly walked out from a corner on the long street behind him. His blank and empty eyes looked in the direction that He Yi had left. Then, he turned around and walked in another direction.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, this man brought another person and stood in the same place. He first pointed at He Gang's house, then pointed at the long street that He Yi had left from, and said a few words to him in a low voice.
Standing beside him was a fat man.
The fat man was Old Ma.
Old Ma looked at the bustling street with people coming and going. He gently waved his hand. Then, the unremarkable man who was pulling the cart beside him retreated. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sea of people like a drop of water.
Old Ma pursed his lips. He turned his head. His gaze seemed to be a little cold as he looked at the house.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled again. His smile was cold.
