Lu Chen was startled and frowned. Back then, on the night of the full moon, when Mount Kunlun changed, he did not know that something had happened to Hakushin Jinkun. However, when he saw the great changes in the sky and the collapse of Winter Peak, Lu Chen actually had some premonition, but he had not confirmed it.
These days, he had been chased by both the righteous and evil sects. He had been on the run all the way to the Land of Chaos and did not have a chance to inquire about this news. When he arrived at the Land of Chaos, firstly, it was vast and sparsely populated. Secondly, he deliberately avoided crowds and went to remote and dangerous places, so he really did not have a chance to ask about this matter. He did not expect to hear this news from White Lotus today.
No matter what, White Lotus's master was not an ordinary person. He was a Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Lord who stood at the peak of the human race's martial strength. There were less than ten of them in the entire world. Every Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Lord could be said to be a famous authority in the world. Even the slightest movement would attract attention from everywhere, let alone their death.
Hakushin Jinkun's death was undoubtedly a great blow to the strength of the Kunlun Party. However, there was a silver lining in the misfortune. The Kunlun Party was, after all, a thousand-year-old sect with a deep foundation. Other than the deceased Hakushin Jinkun, there was still Perfected Lord Tian Lan. Otherwise, the death of a Perfected Lord could directly reduce the strength of a large sect by a level.
In addition, there were some differences between the two Perfected Lords of the Kunlun Party. Hakushin Jinkun had been famous for a long time and was now very old. Even at the level of a Perfected Lord, he could be considered to have one foot in the grave. On the contrary, his Junior Brother Perfected Lord Tian Lan could be considered to be in the prime of his life. Whether it was his body, cultivation, knowledge, temperament, reputation, or so on, he was almost at the peak of his prime. This was also the reason why although Hakushin Jinkun had died, the foundation of the Kunlun Party was not damaged.
These thoughts flashed across his mind, but Lu Chen did not show it on his face. He only said to White Lotus, "Your master Hakushin Jinkun has passed away? This is a huge matter. Why didn't you stay on the mountain of Kunlun to observe your filial piety? Why did you come to the wilderness of the Disorienting Lands? "
White Lotus pursed her lips. There was a hint of ridicule on her face, but it wasn't directed at Lu Chen. She casually waved her hand and said, "If he died, then he died. If he really had a filial heart, Master wouldn't care if I kowtowed a few times in front of his coffin. More importantly, if I return to Kunlun Mountain after his death, it's hard to say what will happen to me. "
Lu Chen's face darkened. He looked at White Lotus and pondered for a moment. Slowly, the light in his eyes gradually brightened.
That night, although Lu Chen was also on the mountain of Kunlun Mountain, he had brushed past the soul-stirring incident of the Kunlun Party. He was like an outsider. At this moment, when he heard White Lotus's words, he seemed to have thought of something.
"You seem to suspect the people of the Kunlun Party?" Lu Chen asked White Lotus.
White Lotus snorted and said, "I'm not an idiot. After the two of us parted that night, I walked towards the Winter Peak for a while. Even before I reached there, I felt that something was wrong. Then, one after another, I secretly heard that Master died in battle and Eldest Martial Brother was seriously injured and went into Closed Door Meditation. It would be a joke to say that there's nothing wrong here. "
Lu Chen nodded slowly. There was a bit of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at this little girl. However, he still couldn't help but say, "Since you feel that something is wrong and don't want to stay on the mountain of Kunlun Mountain, you should go back to your hometown, the Bai Clan in Kunwu City. There are always your elders and family members there who can take care of you."
White Lotus had a disapproving look on her face and even had a trace of contempt. She said, "If someone in the Kunlun Party really wants to harm me, you wouldn't think that the Bai Clan can handle it, right?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's true. The Bai Clan definitely can't handle someone who can arm wrestle with your Master and Senior Martial Brother."
White Lotus said, "Not only can't they handle it, but there are also no good people in that clan. If someone really forces them too much, maybe that family will turn around and send me there to take credit. I won't go to the Bai Clan unless my brain is damaged. "
Lu Chen looked at her with interest. He only felt that this excessively beautiful little girl seemed to be more and more mysterious and suspicious. He said with a smile, "That's your hometown. What? From what you see, you also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Bai Clan?"
White Lotus was about to open her mouth and seemed to want to complain for a while, but she suddenly became alert. She glanced at Lu Chen and coldly snorted, "It's none of your business!"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "Hey, little girl, don't be so vulgar."
White Lotus ignored him and walked straight to Atsu's side. She reached out her hand to touch its head.
Today, Atsu was a huge black wolf. Just by standing, it seemed to be taller than White Lotus. But White Lotus didn't look afraid at all. Instead, she was interested in touching the smooth fur on Atsu's head.
Ah-Tu's expression was also very strange. He seemed to want to leave, but he also seemed to feel comfortable. He hesitated, but in the end, he still stood there without moving. He probably felt that this mysterious and fierce little girl did not have any hostility towards him.
…
In Kunlun Mountain, the relationship between Lu Chen and White Lotus had always been very subtle. On the surface, they maintained a peaceful relationship. But in private, they had fought to the death several times. Their actions were also extremely ruthless. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were mortal enemies.
But now, in the chaotic land far away from Kunlun Mountain, in this dangerous, vast, and sparsely populated wilderness, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be a lot more peaceful. At most, they just quarreled a little, but they didn't have the intention to fight anymore.
But even so, when Lu Chen was about to leave with Atsu, he saw White Lotus following him calmly as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I say, why do you keep following me?"
White Lotus said matter-of-factly, "Tell me the secret of the Blood Food Secret Method, and I won't pester you."
Lu Chen sneered and said, "You're just a little girl, but not only do you know the Blood Food Secret Method, you also know so many sinister methods and magical powers. Why don't you tell me the origin of these secrets first?"
White Lotus shook her head and said, "I can't tell you."
Lu Chen said, "Then why should I tell you? Besides, this method is originally a plaything of the southern barbarians. It's incompatible with our Central Earth's Dao Method and magical powers. Even if you don't know about it, it doesn't matter. Why do you care so much about it? "
White Lotus wanted to say something but hesitated. She glanced at Lu Chen and shook her head. "Why do you always have a belly full of evil tricks? Why do you always try to get information from a little girl like me?"
Lu Chen laughed and turned around to walk away. He said, "If you don't want to tell me, I can't force you. But this chaotic land is full of unfathomable dangers. If we go deeper, even I don't dare to be careless. My life could be in danger at any time. Although you have some skills, you're still a child. You also have a clan in Kunwu City. Why do you need to run here and suffer? If you die here without rhyme or reason, wouldn't it be too unjust? "
White Lotus thought for a moment but still followed him. She then calmly said, "I don't have anyone close to me in my clan. Since I was a child, no one has taken a liking to me. It's just that their temperament suddenly changed after they found out I have the five pillar divine disk. It's annoying! In any case, it's rare for me to come out. This carefree life is much more comfortable than living in Kunlun. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then why don't you go by yourself? Wouldn't that be more carefree? The world is so big. You can go anywhere and do whatever you want to do. "
White Lotus shook her head. After a pause, she said in a slightly gloomy voice, "After coming out, it seems like you're the only person I know in the whole world. In any case … I have nothing to do. I'll just follow you for a while."
Lu Chen was startled. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. The words he wanted to say suddenly couldn't come out. He was silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly laughed at himself. He thought to himself that he was indeed much more soft-hearted than the cold and emotionless assassin from ten years ago.
His mood suddenly became somewhat gloomy. However, he felt a little closer to White Lotus. Perhaps it was the loneliness of youth that reminded him of his painful childhood. So, he slowly walked forward, no longer chasing White Lotus away. At the same time, he casually asked, "Don't you have any close relatives in your family? What about your parents? "
White Lotus said, "They died before I was born."
Lu Chen laughed in spite of himself. "If they died before you were born, then there wouldn't be you."
White Lotus was startled for a moment. Then, she also laughed. Perhaps she also felt that what she said was a little silly. Or perhaps her relationship with her parents was too shallow. So, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Hmm, I'm wrong. They died before I became sensible. That's why I don't remember what they look like."
"Do you miss them?" Lu Chen pushed away a branch in front of him. He took two steps forward. However, he only saw a complex terrain of intersecting mountains and valleys. At the same time, there was a very gloomy and dense forest in front of him.
Most of the trees in this forest were dark brown. The trunks were tall and the crowns were luxuriant. However, the strange thing was that there were vines of various sizes hanging everywhere in the forest. Most of them were hanging on the branches of different heights. Many of them were growing on the ground of the forest. But other than that, there wasn't much abnormality.
Lu Chen stared at the forest, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
At this time, White Lotus also walked to his side and said, "I don't miss them."
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He looked at her and said, "Why? People have feelings for their children. It's natural. No matter what, it's your parents who gave birth to you. Why don't you miss them? "
White Lotus snorted and said, "Since they gave birth to me, shouldn't they raise me and take care of me? They didn't have the ability and died early, leaving me to suffer alone. Why should I remember their kindness? "
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, they also have their difficulties?"
White Lotus didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She walked straight forward and said, "What difficulties does a dead person have?"
