It was already dark, and the mountain village was quiet. Most of the villagers had fallen asleep. Except for the faint starlight in the sky, the village at the foot of Tea Mountain was dark. Only this small tavern still had some inconspicuous light.
Lu Chen and Old Ma sat opposite each other and drank. They opened the window and looked at the night sky outside. The cold night wind blew in from outside, causing the candles placed on the table to flicker. It also reflected on their faces, making them look gloomy.
Old Ma walked over and closed the window. The howling wind suddenly subsided, and the tavern became quiet. Then he turned to Lu Chen and said with a smile, "In the ten years we lived here, we often sat here and drank like this in the middle of the night. Now that I think about it, it seems like a long time ago."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It has been a long time. I remember that we drank like this many times in the first three or four years when I first came here. At that time, my mind was unsettled, and I was injured. I always felt angry and irritated. " Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it to Old Ma. "Thank you."
Old Ma sat opposite him and said, "Thank me for thanking me for nothing."
Lu Chen said, "Thank you for drinking with me and chatting with me in those days. Even when I scolded you for no reason, you tolerated it. It was not easy … "
He smiled, as if laughing at his old self. Then he raised his glass to Old Ma and drank it in one gulp.
Old Ma looked a little relieved. He smiled and nodded. He also picked up his glass and took a sip. Then he said to Lu Chen, "It was so long ago, and you still remember it. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and his face showed a little seriousness. He said to Old Ma, "I have almost no relatives in this world, and the only friend I can talk to is probably you. Therefore, I have always kept these things in mind. "
Old Ma was startled. He was probably surprised by Lu Chen's words. But very quickly, he lowered his head so that no one could see his expression. After a while, he suddenly raised his head with a smile and said to Lu Chen, "If you really want to repay me, why don't you repay the debts you owed me years ago …"
"Drink!" Lu Chen picked up the wine pot on the table and filled Old Ma's cup. He smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't mention those unhappy things."
Old Ma was speechless.
…
"I have something to ask you," Lu Chen said to Old Ma.
Old Ma nodded and said, "Yes, go ahead."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "After the full moon night of the Kunlun Party, I escaped from Kunwu City and fled all the way to the end of the world. I have never returned to Mount Kunlun. After I left, how was the situation in Mount Kunlun? "
Old Ma looked at him and said, "Do you want to know about the situation of the Kunlun Party and Lord Perfected, or do you want to ask about the other people under them?"
Lu Chen smiled, and then he said, "I can't hide anything from you. Tell me about it."
"Yes." Old Ma paused for a moment, probably thinking about how to organize his words. After a moment, he said, "The Kunlun Party still suffered some damage. The most important thing is, of course, the sudden death of Hakushin Jinkun, one of the two Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivators in the past. This is a loss that can't be made up for in any case. But no matter what, there is still another Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivator in the Kunlun Party. As long as Perfected Cultivator Tianlan is there, no one in the world dares to look down on the Kunlun Party. So, in general, the Kunlun Party hasn't changed much. "
"Life has to go on. Even if one of the legendary Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Peaks suddenly crashed and destroyed, no more disasters happened to the Kunlun Party. But now, on Mount Kunlun, Perfected Cultivator Tianlan's words are basically the law. "
Lu Chen frowned and said, "What about the original Sect Master, Perfected Cultivator Idle Month?"
"She's in seclusion. She's said that she's seriously injured and can't attend to matters." Old Ma's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. He pointed his finger at the sky above Lu Chen's head and said, "I heard that Perfected Cultivator Idle Month's injury is so serious that she needs at least ten years of seclusion to recover. So now, even the position of Sect Master is held by the former First Seat of Baicao Tang of the Kunlun Party, Perfected Cultivator Qian Deng."
Lu Chen looked at him, and Old Ma also looked at Lu Chen. They looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads slightly.
After a while, Old Ma said again, "As for the rise and fall of power in the Kunlun Party, you can probably imagine it. It's nothing more than a change of ruler, a change of courtiers. Now, the disciples originally from Hakushin Jinkun's faction are suppressed and silent, while the disciples from Baicao Tang or other factions close to Perfected Cultivator Tianlan are incomparably glorious. "
Lu Chen suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "The glorious ones are Baicao Tang. Are there other factions close to the damn baldy? At this point, he still hasn't accepted a personal disciple in the sect? "
Old Ma glanced at him and shook his head. "No. In fact, a few years ago, I really heard that many people had this idea. In such a big Kunlun Party, I don't know how many young talents want to be Perfected Cultivator Tianlan's disciple, but in the end, he declined one by one. To this day, he still doesn't have any official disciples. "
Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "The damn baldy has a bad temper. It seems that he is destined to live alone."
Old Ma glared at him and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he still wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He could only smile bitterly.
Lu Chen also ignored him and said, "Don't just talk about the damn baldy. Is there any news about other people?"
Old Ma snorted and said, "Boy, just say it directly. Who do you want to ask about? Otherwise, how would I know what to say?"
Lu Chen's fingers rubbed the wine glass for a moment, then he smiled and said, "It's none other than those I know. You know, just tell me."
Old Ma was silent for a moment and said, "In recent years, Perfected Cultivator Tianlan has focused on cultivating the new talented disciples in the sect and doesn't have too many sectarian views. Therefore, the original talented people in the Kunlun Party have become more brilliant, and there are also a few new people who have risen later. Su Qingjun is the most famous one. Her cultivation is brave and vigorous. Together with He Yi, she is known as the most outstanding disciple of the next generation of the Kunlun Party. In Kunwu City, the Su family is also becoming more and more famous. "
Lu Chen looked at the wine glass in front of him in silence. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, she's not bad. Based on my understanding of her, she should have achieved such achievements."
Old Ma said indifferently, "These years, the Su family has spent a lot of money to search for the murderer who killed their young master."
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at him. After a moment, he suddenly smiled.
Old Ma said, "So, boy, it's right that you didn't go back to Kunlun Mountain first. If you go back, you will definitely be discovered, and then what awaits you is the scene of the Righteous and Devil Sects hunting you down in the past."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. This kind of thing will be controlled by that damned baldy." After a pause, he asked again, "What about the others?"
Old Ma said, "Who do you want to ask?"
"How is that little girl, White Lotus?"
"Oh, her? She seems to be living a good life. I heard that she has always stayed by Perfected Cultivator Tianlan and has never left."
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly flashed. He looked up and said in a deep voice, "Damned baldy wants to take White Lotus as his disciple?"
