Under the moonlight, that young girl sat on the windowsill of the wooden house with her feet dangling in the air, one hand on the windowsill, the other on her lap. The night breeze blew over faintly, ruffling the corner of her clothes. Occasionally her feet would gently kick a few times, as if lingering with the wind, and also like a child suddenly floating up, just for fun.
On her lips, there was a sudden smile, light but gentle, just like what a ten year old girl should have.
The night was deep, the moonlight was cold. For some reason, she still had no intention of leaving.
She suddenly quietened down, not asking Lu Chen about Atsu's whereabouts, nor did she speak ill of Lu Chen. In that instant, Lu Chen suddenly had a very strange feeling, feeling that White Lotus was just sitting there playing.
But of course Lu Chen would not really treat this girl as an ordinary ten year old girl. What a joke, with the vicious and vicious methods that she had displayed previously, Lu Chen felt that if his cultivation was slightly lacking, he would not be able to see the moon tonight.
But this stalemate did not seem to be a solution, White Lotus did not seem to care at all, but this place was Lu Chen's wooden house, at least Lu Chen still wanted to sleep tonight. With an exceptionally dangerous girl like White Lotus sitting on the windowsill, no matter how brave Lu Chen was, he felt that he did not dare to close his eyes.
So, Lu Chen felt that he still had to speak to White Lotus, thinking that since everyone had nothing to say, wouldn't it be best to go back to their own homes and sleep? When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a low humming sound coming from White Lotus's mouth, and slowly, she started to sing a little song:
The crescent moon,
Seeing the acacia.
Red clothes,
Dressing for whom?
Yiya …
Time passes like water,
White hair flustered.
Seeing the red makeup in the morning,
Separated by a thousand mountains at dusk.
Yiya …
This song was short and simple, and the meaning of the words was graceful. However, when she sang it, it carried a trace of loneliness and loneliness. She was like a lonely woman that was filled with deep thoughts, and it was completely unlike the feeling she should have at her age.
But in the eyes of Lu Chen, who had seen White Lotus's vicious methods, he did not see White Lotus as a little girl. But even so, when he heard this song, he still felt a sudden and inexplicable trance.
The moonlight shone on Bai Lian's beautiful face, making her seem like an otherworldly fairy. Her voice also seemed to reverberate through the Nine Heavens. Her voice was light and translucent, almost reaching a state of perfection. Anyone who heard it would immediately be immersed in it, as if they were looking at the woman in the song that they longed for.
The night was dim, the cold wind was silent, her voice gradually faded, and then disappeared.
Lu Chen suddenly said, "This song, where did you learn it from?"
White Lotus turned her head to look at him, and said, "Why do you ask?" After a pause, she asked again, "How was my singing, was it good?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, and said, "It was really good, your voice is extraordinary, this little song from your mouth can be said to be a little more celestial."
"Ha!" White Lotus giggled, as if she was suddenly very happy, and then said to herself, "I said, a genius like me, how can there be anything that I can't do well, even if it's singing, it must be the best!"
Lu Chen said softly, "This song sounds a little familiar, as if I have heard it before, can you tell me?"
White Lotus laughed, and then said, "No."
Lu Chen was startled, and said, "Why not?"
White Lotus said, "Because I'm happy, I can do whatever I want, I don't want to tell you, so I won't tell you!"
Lu Chen was speechless.
White Lotus looked at him, seemed to be a little happy, and then said with a little pride, "Come on, you are lucky enough today, let me tell you, in this world, no one can hear my song, you are the first, so you can go burn incense in the morning!"
Lu Chen was moved, looked at White Lotus, and said, "If that's the case, then my luck is really good. But I heard you sing so well, no matter who heard it, they will like it, why no one else has heard it … "
White Lotus' face stiffened, and her eyes slightly drooped, and said, "No one is willing to listen, they all hope that I … well, they all want me to practice hard and do something big." As she said that, it was as if a stone in her heart had been unintentionally moved. Her expression suddenly relaxed, and she raised her hands to stretch. Her face was languid, and she even tilted her head to one side in a strange manner. She then said, "That's why I say, although you're not a good person, and you're full of evil tricks, it seems that only at your place can I sing and scold people freely. Isn't that right, bastard! "
Lu Chen heard her scolding, but he was not angry. After staring at her for a while, he suddenly shook his head, sighed, and said, "You are so young, what kind of life did you live in the past …"
"Hehe, I just lied to you a few times, and you took it seriously!" White Lotus suddenly laughed, and pointed at Lu Chen, shook her head, and said with a smile, "Look at your silly face, do you still want to comfort me, or save me from the sea of bitterness?"
Lu Chen shrugged, and did not speak.
White Lotus jumped down from the window sill, and waved at Lu Chen, saying, "That dog has a secret I want to know. I will definitely come again, don't try to avoid me." As she said this, she walked away with light footsteps.
Lu Chen looked at her back, and saw her bouncing footsteps. It seemed that in this cold night, her mood was really much better than before.
Probably … right?
…
The day of the sect council on the 15th of this month was getting closer and closer, so recently, the Kunlun Party had a more tense and solemn atmosphere.
This kind of sect council was also a rule passed down by the ancestors. It was held once a year, to review the past and look forward to the future, and to evaluate many matters, including the redistribution of many resources and spiritual materials within the sect, so it could be said to be the most important matter in the Kunlun Party.
According to the rules of the Kunlun sect, cultivators above Jin Dan realm could attend the sect council, and all cultivators above Yuanying Zhenren must attend. Of course, supreme existences like Deity Transformation Stage Zhenren still had special privileges. However, in the past few years, or to be exact, after Zhenren Idle Month became the sect leader, Hakushin Jinkun would appear in the sect council every year. On the contrary, because Zhenren Tianlan was busy with many things in Zhenxianmeng, he did not come back to participate.
Of course, the annual event had to be treated with caution. In the Zhengyang Hall of Tiankun Peak, some people had already begun to decorate the place. The other big and small matters in the sect had also gradually quietened down, giving way to the most important event of the year.
Lu Chen was still quietly waiting for the arrival of the night of the full moon.
However, there were still many doubts in Lu Chen's heart about the mysterious spy of the Devil Cult secretly arranging to meet on the night of the full moon. Not to mention other things, this coincidentally happened on the same day as the most important event of the year in the Kunlun Party. Could it be another coincidence?
Lu Chen did not believe it. He felt that there might be some strange twists and turns in this matter that he did not know about. However, he still knew nothing about the spy of the Devil Cult, so the only thing he could do was to wait. At the same time, he was also wondering if he should take advantage of these few days to quickly go down the mountain and take Black Dog away from Kunwu City.
At the very least, it would be better to throw him into the forest outside the city.
No one could guess the various calculations in Lu Chen's heart. Everyone in the Kunlun Party was busy in an orderly manner. Reverend Idle Month was in charge of the overall situation, but the person in charge of all kinds of miscellaneous and trivial matters was not him, but Reverend Idle Month's Junior Brother Zhuo Xian.
As a Jin Dan Friar, the second disciple of Hakushin Jinkun, and also the Sect Head Reverend's Junior Brother, Zhuo Xian had a prominent reputation in the Kunlun Party for many years. Most of the cultivators, including Reverend Yuanying, treated him with respect.
Zhuo Xian was also a very capable person. He was smart and capable, and he almost never made a mistake in handling big and small matters. He had always been deeply trusted by both Hakushin Jinkun and Reverend Idle Month.
On this day, when Zhuo Xian walked out of the Winter Peak above the clouds in the sky, he turned his head and saw the entrance of his Third Junior Sister's Cave not far away from his own Cave. White Lotus was standing there, looking into the distance in a daze.
The wind and snow filled the sky, falling leisurely on the Winter Peak, which was like a wonder of the world. White Lotus was wearing a white snow mink coat. She stood there like a beautiful statue, so beautiful that it was suffocating.
However, Zhuo Xian was old and experienced, so he was not too surprised. He only smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you're up so early?"
White Lotus turned around. Her expression was cold, just like the cold snowflakes that filled the sky. She was polite but with a hint of alienation. She bowed to Zhuo Xian and said, "Second Senior Brother, good morning!"
Zhuo Xian nodded and said, "I have to go down the mountain to do something today. I might not come back during the day. Be careful on the mountain alone."
White Lotus said, "Little sister knows. Senior Brother, don't worry."
Zhuo Xian smiled. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Bai Lian ask, "Second senior, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Zhuo Xian stopped and said, "Junior Sister, please say it."
White Lotus said, "I heard that at the foot of the mountain... that is in the sect, there has been a big commotion recently. There is an Evil Faction spy who infiltrated our Kunlun Party and killed an innocent disciple?"
Zhuo Xian was silent for a moment and then nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing. The disciple who died is called He Changsheng. His ancestor used to be a disciple of our Kunlun Party. Later on, his family declined. But when it came to his generation, it looked like he wanted to pull himself together. Unfortunately, he met with such a thing. "
White Lotus frowned and said, "I think I have heard of He family once before but I don't have much impression of it. But this Evil Faction kills people and does evil. Why don't we go and catch them? "
Zhuo Xian said, "We have already sent people to investigate. Unfortunately, the Evil Faction is treacherous. So far, we haven't found anything. Instead, we have caused a lot of trouble for no reason."
"He Yi?" White Lotus looked at him and asked.
Zhuo Xian was slightly surprised, but then he thought of White Lotus's family background and felt relieved. He said, "It's him."
"I heard that he hasn't been well recently?" White Lotus asked.
Zhuo Xian looked at White Lotus strangely. Usually, this girl would rarely talk so much. But he still patiently said, "Yes, I heard that in the process of investigating, he had some conflicts with the Su family in Kunwu City. Recently, he was also caught by his master and went back to Closed Door Training. But how to say it, this time, it seems to be a blessing in disguise, right? "
White Lotus was a bit surprised and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhuo Xian indifferently said, "I heard that the day before yesterday, he used great willpower to subdue his inner demons. In his anger, he turned his grief into great strength and broke through the Jin Dan realm in one fell swoop. Now, he is the same as me, a Jin Dan Friar."
He looked at White Lotus and faintly smiled. He leisurely said, "At his age, his future is really limitless!"
