Lu Chen laughed and said, "You are so fat. Whether you believe me or not, you still look like a pig."
Old Ma spat, then waved his hand and said, "Don't give me that. I have been looking for you for the past few years. His Excellency has also given orders to Fuyunji to carefully search for your whereabouts, but they have not been able to find you. Where have you been hiding? "
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I went to the south."
Old Ma made a sound of agreement and said, "I think so too. In this world, the only place that can escape from Fuyunji and the Evil Cult is the chaotic Land of Chaos."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Damn baldy is still looking for me?"
Old Ma seemed to sense something and his expression became serious. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "I have already told you that when you were suddenly chased by the people of Fuyunji while you were escaping, it was because the Evil Cult used a spy hidden in Fuyunji to give false orders. That is why it was a misunderstanding."
Lu Chen's expression did not change much. He only said, "When did you find out?"
Old Ma said, "It was His Excellency who felt something was wrong and secretly ordered me to go to Fuyunji to investigate. Then I found out about this." He glanced at Lu Chen with a hint of worry on his face. Even his voice had become a little deeper as he said, "You know me. I've never lied to you about something like this in all these years."
Lu Chen slightly lowered his head, his expression indifferent. Old Ma could not tell what he was thinking at this moment, or whether he believed his words.
After a while, Lu Chen asked again, "How did that damned baldy react when he found out about this?"
Old Ma immediately said, "After True Monarch heard about this, he was furious and immediately punished Fuyunji heavily. He carefully sifted through them from top to bottom, and even Xue Ying was killed. Let me tell you, I've followed True Monarch for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen him so angry. If Xue Ying wasn't his trusted aide who had followed him longer than me, and had always been loyal to him, risking her life for so many years, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to keep her position as the Hall Master of Fuyunji. "
Lu Chen remained silent for a short while before he said, "I never expected him to have such a huge reaction."
Old Ma said, "Lu Chen, the True Monarch really thinks highly of you."
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Old Ma. After a moment, he smiled.
…
"Later, I'll send a secret report about your return and let True Monarch know that you're back."
Lu Chen picked up the wine cup on the table in front of him, rubbed it for a while, but did not drink. He only said, "So urgent? Maybe there's no need to tell him so urgently. "
Old Ma frowned, looked at Lu Chen and said, "Do you have something in mind?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, I just want to live a peaceful life this time."
"Without True Monarch's protection, you won't have a peaceful life at all!" Old Ma pointed out this fact to Lu Chen mercilessly and straightforwardly. He said, "You've offended too many people, and the power of your enemies is too great. There are also many madmen who don't care about their own lives, and they have remarkable abilities. If you don't have a backer and only rely on your own strength, it will be very difficult for you to live comfortably."
Lu Chen gave a wry smile and said, "You don't have to say it so clearly."
Old Ma sneered and said, "Everything about you is good, but sometimes your thoughts are too complicated, and you are too suspicious. You don't believe anyone. If I don't tell you directly, you will most likely think about it by yourself. "
These words of Old Ma were very serious, but Lu Chen did not get angry. He just drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, then nodded and said, "You are right, but this temperament was developed when I was in the Devil Sect. If I didn't do this, open my eyes even when I was asleep, be on guard every day, and constantly calculate, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived until now. "
Old Ma suddenly stopped talking. After a long while, he gave a wry smile, and there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. He stood up and lightly patted Lu Chen's shoulder, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, don't give me this kind of face, it makes me look like I'm going to die soon."
Old Ma laughed and covered the bitterness on his face, then after a moment of silence, he still straightened his expression and looked at Lu Chen seriously and said, "To be honest, Lu Chen, listen to me, go back to the Immortal City with me and see the Supreme. I don't dare, and I don't have the qualifications to promise you, but I feel that the relationship between the two of you is definitely not what you think it is. "
"You have to believe him!" Old Ma said to Lu Chen softly but very seriously.
"Believe him?" Lu Chen thought for a while, then slowly nodded.
"Then let's go back to the Immortal City together?"
"Okay, when are we leaving?"
Old Ma thought for a moment and said, "It's better to be safe. I'll first send a secret report to the Supreme of the Immortal City and let him send someone to make arrangements, so that there won't be any accidents on the way." He glanced at Lu Chen and said, "You know, there aren't many people in this world who can cause more trouble than you."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay then, you make the arrangements, I'm going out for a walk."
Old Ma said, "Hey, are you really going out for a walk? Don't tell me you're going to disappear without a trace after leaving the door?"
Lu Chen sneered and said, "You're crazy, can't you be more normal? You believe everything I say, don't you trust me that much?"
Old Ma said sternly, "You Shadows are not normal people."
"Get lost …"
…
Lu Chen felt that his emotions were unusually complicated. He was a little relaxed, but also a little worried and uneasy. No matter how he thought about it, it was probably because he still couldn't see through that damn baldy.
But who cares, things were like this. Actually, some of what Old Ma said was very right and very reasonable. From the beginning until now, he never had much of a choice. He had always been tied to that damn baldy's pirate ship.
If he didn't follow him, didn't believe him, what else could he do?
Lu Chen strolled in the direction of the tea mountain. When he reached the foot of the tea mountain, he quickly saw the straw hut that he used to live in.
Most of the people in this Qingshuitang Village lived in the village. Back then, he was the only one who lived at the foot of the mountain. As for the reason, it was actually very simple. Every night, there would be a mournful sound of the wind that sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling. Not many people could bear it.
Lu Chen felt a sense of familiarity as he looked at the lush greenery of the mountain and the familiar, light aroma of tea drifting in the wind. He looked around and thought to himself, could this be the legendary feeling of homecoming?
He slowly walked to the side of the straw hut. No one had lived in it for a few years and it was very dilapidated. More than half of the thatch was gone, and the rest seemed to have rotted. The door was tightly shut, but there was a hole in the wall next to it. He didn't know who did it.
Lu Chen walked over and pushed the door open. With a low squeak, the door slowly opened. A slightly moldy smell filled the air in the straw hut. Then, there were those familiar things.
Lu Chen stood at the door for a while. He looked up and saw that it was a dilapidated place. However, it wasn't like before, where a piece of thatch gently fell.
It was like the time that he had spent in the past ten years, which was finally gone forever.
Lu Chen smiled and turned to leave. Then, he walked up the tea mountain.
On that mountain, Atsu should still be waiting for him. There was also a woman who was sleeping here. He also wanted to visit her. Let's just take it as a farewell to that period of time, if she's really watching from the heavens.
