There was a hint of surprise in Old Ma's eyes as he looked at White Lotus in front of him. He did not notice the abnormality of Atsu next to him. However, Lu Chen was different from him. He had been with this black dog almost every day for the past few years, so he noticed the abnormality of Atsu almost immediately. He could not help but frown.
After Ah-Tu's breakthrough a few years ago, Lu Chen rarely saw this kind of fear in him. Even when he ventured into the depths of the Southern Lands with Lu Chen in the future, Ah-Tu was still carefree and carefree, roaming the world with ease.
However, on this day, when Atsu saw White Lotus, it suddenly showed this kind of abnormal emotion, which surprised Lu Chen.
Perhaps Atsu still remembered the encounter in Kunlun Mountain?
A figure walked up from behind and stood in front of Atsu, blocking Atsu's sight. It was Lu Chen. He reached out his hand and touched Atsu's head. Atsu seemed to feel something and looked at him.
The fear in its eyes quickly dissipated, and it became clear and calm again.
Whether it was Lu Chen's hand or Atsu's fur, they were both warm.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded to Atsu, then turned around and looked at White Lotus.
After a few years, White Lotus was no longer the child she used to be. Today, she was still delicate and beautiful, and her temperament was still pure and cold. She still gave people the feeling of an ice fairy. But it was undeniable that this girl was approaching, or should it be said that she was about to enter the most beautiful, brilliant, and dazzling youth of her life.
Her body had grown a lot taller, and she looked more and more slender. Her figure was gradually revealed, making people's eyes light up. It was as if this girl was born with a dazzling light that made people unable to ignore her, and subconsciously wanted to take a few more glances at her.
Lu Chen nodded to her, showed a smile, and said, "Long time no see."
White Lotus's gaze fell on him, and there was a trace of hidden and very complicated expression in the depths of her eyes. When she was about to speak, suddenly all three people present heard a roar from behind Lu Chen. It was Atsu who poked its head out from behind Lu Chen.
But this time, the instinctive fear that Atsu showed when it saw White Lotus had completely disappeared. Instead, this big black dog seemed to be very annoyed. It bared its teeth and growled at White Lotus, and even showed its fangs. It looked very angry, as if it couldn't wait to pounce on this beautiful girl to vent its anger.
White Lotus probably didn't expect Atsu's expression and attitude to change so suddenly. She was stunned and said to Lu Chen, "What's wrong with you, stupid dog?"
Lu Chen reached out and stroked Atsu's head. After thinking for a while, he said, "Probably angry out of shame."
White Lotus: "…"
…
Holy Beasts were powerful monsters. After advancing, they almost had no natural enemies, and there were not many enemies in the world that they were afraid of. Therefore, the sudden fear just now made Atsu very angry and annoyed. It felt that there was no need for it to be afraid of White Lotus at all. It felt that it had embarrassed itself. Therefore, for the rest of the journey, this big black dog no longer had a good attitude towards the beautiful girl, White Lotus.
However, humans were heartless. None of the three people present would run to comfort this suddenly angry black dog. At most, Lu Chen gently stroked its head a few times. At the same time, his attention was still on White Lotus.
"Why are you here?" Lu Chen asked White Lotus.
White Lotus shrugged and said, "I was ordered to come here." As she said that, she turned to face Old Ma and took out a sealed envelope from her arms. She asked Old Ma, "Are you Ma Xiaoyun?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "Yes." As he said that, he took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to White Lotus.
White Lotus took it and looked at it carefully. Then, she nodded and handed it to Old Ma along with the envelope in her hand.
Old Ma took the jade and put it away first. Then, he directly opened the envelope and read the letter inside carefully. Then, he nodded and said, "That's right. But in the letter, Lord Perfected Immortal ordered me to go with Lu Chen to the Immortal City. I will go with you. "
White Lotus grunted and did not seem to care. Her clear and lively eyes looked at Lu Chen and said, "Let's go?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!"
…
"How have you been these few years?" Lu Chen asked White Lotus.
White Lotus said, "It's not bad. My biggest backer, Master, died, and in the end, I found an even more powerful Uncle-Master. I don't know how many people inside and outside the sect are envious of me." As she said that, she smiled at Lu Chen and said, "What about you?"
"I'm quite unlucky." Lu Chen said honestly, "After you left, Atsu and I also went south to escape into the depths of the Land of Chaos. Our days were miserable and we only came back recently."
White Lotus looked like she didn't believe it. She pointed at Ah-Tu and said, "You must be talking nonsense. This stupid dog is ten times fatter than before. How can it look like it's living a miserable life? This is obviously the appearance of a well-fed dog! "
"Roar!" Atsu let out a low growl and extended its fangs. It looked like it was trying to bite off White Lotus's white and delicate finger.
White Lotus giggled as she retracted her finger. She didn't seem angry at all. She said to Lu Chen, "This dog's temper has grown. I don't remember it being this angry when it was with you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Atsu is not like this usually. It is probably in a bad mood today."
White Lotus thought about it and nodded without saying anything. Lu Chen changed the topic and at the same time, he asked about the doubts in his heart. He said, "What about you, what's the situation now? It seems like you are doing very well in the Kunlun Party. Even that True Lord Tian Lan treats you differently."
White Lotus curled her lips and said, "It's just so-so. There is nothing to boast about."
Lu Chen asked, "Shouldn't you be on the Kunlun Mountain in the West Land? Why did you come to the Immortal City and were sent to pick me up?"
White Lotus said, "My Martial Uncle Tian Lan insisted that I follow him, and then he suddenly told me to come to pick you up not long ago." Speaking of this, White Lotus suddenly smiled and said, "But I really did not expect that the person who can make a Perfected Cultivator of Huashen Realm miss you and make me come to pick you up in person is actually you."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "That's really hard for you."
White Lotus looked into his eyes, but there was no smile in her eyes. After staring at Lu Chen for a long time, she suddenly said, "Who are you?"
Lu Chen said, "I'm a former handyman disciple of the Kunlun Party. You can't have forgotten this, can you?"
White Lotus snorted and said, "What kind of handyman disciple can make a Perfected Cultivator of Huashen Realm remember him and send someone to pick him up? There must be an important reason for him to think so highly of someone. "
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing. He just walked forward with Atsu. After a while, suddenly, White Lotus's voice sounded a little cold. She said, "Lu Chen, were you a spy that Perfected Cultivator Tianlan personally placed in the Kunlun Party to inquire about information in the Kunlun Mountain and do a lot of evil things? For example, my master and my Eldest Brother … "
Lu Chen's expression did not change. He still looked gentle and polite. He smiled at White Lotus and said, "No, I don't know the person you are talking about, so these things have nothing to do with me."
"Really?" White Lotus looked a little suspicious.
"Really." Lu Chen said with a smile and a nod. He looked very relaxed and there was no trace of lying.
