Perfected Lord Tianlan remained silent for a long time. During this time, he had been staring at Lu Chen. It seemed that after such a long time, it was the first time that he had discovered something about Lu Chen that he didn't know or hadn't discovered yet.
His eyes looked very strange and complicated, as if there were many emotions mixed together. It was as if one could see all kinds of joy, anger, confusion, and so on. However, when one looked closely, one would feel that there was actually a deep sea in the depths of his eyes. It was deep and vast, but there was nothing in it. It was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom.
Perhaps, there was no one in this world who could see through his heart.
At least, Lu Chen couldn't.
After a long time, Perfected Lord Tianlan slowly opened his mouth and broke the silence that had enveloped the surroundings for a long time.
His tone was still calm, but the gentle and cheerful tone that he often used when talking to Lu Chen was gone. He became flat. "I didn't expect that you would say such things to me."
When Perfected Lord Tianlan said this, he shook his head slightly and looked disappointed. "It's okay to suspect me, but it's stupid to criticize me to my face. I had high hopes for you. You did exceptionally well in the matter of the Devil Cult back then. Even I couldn't find any fault with you. But now, what good does it do for you to criticize me to my face? You can't even think through such a simple matter. Have you become stupid after living in seclusion for the past ten years? "
When he said the last few words, Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression even became a little stern.
Lu Chen smiled. It seemed that in front of this powerful and powerful Perfected Lord of the Divine Transformation Realm, he really didn't have much fear. He looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan and said lazily, "Why? I just said a few words and you're already anxious?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan shook his head helplessly again. "I'm not anxious. I'm just a little disappointed with the way you handled this matter."
Lu Chen suddenly said, "If you don't like me, then just send me away."
A hint of anger flashed across Perfected Lord Tianlan's face. After a moment of silence, he stood up abruptly. However, just as he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly paused and looked back at Lu Chen with a frown. Then, the anger on his face suddenly dissipated and he slowly said with a smile, "Why do I suddenly feel that you've been trying to provoke me intentionally or unintentionally?"
Lu Chen's hands hung by his side. He slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves, but his palms were already covered in cold sweat. However, this did not affect his expression. He lowered his head slightly and put on a submissive expression again. "There is no such thing."
Looking at Lu Chen, Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression gradually turned gentle again. There seemed to be a few more emotions in his eyes. There was a hint of mockery, but also a hint of gratification and happiness.
…
"Where's Little Ma?" Perfected Lord Tianlan suddenly changed the topic, as if he did not want to continue talking about this with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression did not change much. He said, "He went to Fuyunji to look for Hall Master Xue Ying for money."
"For money?" Perfected Lord Tianlan thought for a moment and then nodded. "Oh, it's that matter. Xue Ying did mention it to me. I say, aren't the two of you a little too greedy? Although that matter might cost a lot of money, isn't it a little too much to ask for so much all at once? No wonder Xue Ying came to complain to me indignantly. "
Lu Chen's expression did not change. He quickly continued, "It's easier to do things with money. Only then can things be done quickly and well."
Perfected Lord Tianlan sneered and said, "Nonsense. You can't fool anyone with this. Who came up with the idea of this price? You or Little Ma? "
Lu Chen did not hesitate to shift the blame to Perfected Lord Tianlan. "Ma Xiaoyun said it."
"Him?" Perfected Lord Tianlan looked a little doubtful. He took another look at Lu Chen and said, "Why do I feel that it's more like your idea?"
Lu Chen said seriously, "I've been living a poor life for so many years. I've long gotten used to it. Money is also a worldly possession to me. I don't care about it."
Perfected Lord Tianlan seemed a little stunned. He said, "You're that nice?"
Lu Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Yes."
Perfected Lord Tianlan stared at him for a moment and suddenly laughed. He then sighed and said, "I understand. I'll talk to Xue Ying later. I'll give you ten thousand."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Ma asked for thirty thousand …"
"That's more like it." Perfected Lord Tianlan snorted and said, "Fuyunji's money doesn't come from the wind. What's more, there are so many eyes in Zhenxianmeng staring at us. They can't wait to take back every spirit stone we spend and check it carefully. We're already giving you face by giving you ten thousand, okay? "
"Okay, thank you!" Lu Chen immediately changed his stance and nodded to express his thanks.
Perfected Lord Tianlan was stunned for a moment and then shook his head with a smile. He then pondered for a moment and took out a piece of white paper from his bosom and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took it and roughly glanced at it. He saw that there were many words written on the white paper. The contents recorded the names of many people and their respective identities, residences, personalities, and even the level of their cultivation.
"What's this?" Lu Chen looked up and asked Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Perfected Lord Tianlan said, "In the past few years, we've specially investigated a group of people. We've gotten rid of those who have solid evidence of colluding with the Devil Cult. But there are still some people we're not sure about. We have some suspicions but we don't have any evidence, so it's really hard to deal with them. Since you're here to do that, you might be able to investigate from among these people as well. "
Lu Chen glanced at the name list on the white paper and then nodded and said, "I'll go find them."
"Okay." Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at him one last time and then turned to leave.
From the beginning to the end, they never mentioned the barrier that they once argued about, as if the problem had never existed.
…
Old Ma only came back in the afternoon when it was almost dusk. He looked very happy. When he entered the door, he had a calm expression on his face as if nothing had happened. At least in the eyes of outsiders, there was nothing unusual. However, when he walked into the house and closed the door, the serious expression on his face immediately disappeared. Not only was he full of joy, he even strode to the backyard while laughing and shouting, "Lu Chen, Lu Chen! Come out quickly! I have great news to tell you. "
Lu Chen, who was sitting in the courtyard, turned around and looked very calm. He said with a smile, "So happy? It seems to be good news. "
Old Ma nodded repeatedly. When he was about to say something, he suddenly looked around and said with a little surprise, "Hey, where's Atsu?"
"He just ate a big piece of meat and went back to sleep."
"Hmm … alright, he really is a dog that sleeps better than a pig." Old Ma walked over with a smile and sat opposite Lu Chen. He said, "Quick, guess, what did I get from looking for Xue Ying?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said thoughtfully, "She agreed to give you money?"
Old Ma snorted and said with a smug look on his face, "Isn't that obvious? The question is, how many exactly? Why don't you guess? Quick, quick! "
Lu Chen also laughed and said, "About five thousand. After all, if we ask for a sky-high price, Xue Ying will have to pay us back fiercely."
Old Ma slapped his thigh and said proudly, "Wrong! More than that. "
Lu Chen smiled with a hint of surprise and said, "More than that? Amazing, Old Ma, you can even deal with Xue Ying. Quick, tell me, how much did you give? "
"Ten thousand!" Old Ma said proudly.
"Amazing, amazing!" Lu Chen laughed and said, "We're rich!"
