"As for the others … they have nothing to do with you, right?" This time, Old Ma seemed to be a little more afraid. Not only did he not say their names, but he did not even dare to mention the words "Soul Formation Perfected Cultivator".
Lu Chen said, "Of course not. I was just asking."
Old Ma snorted and said, "What a coincidence. I've been with you for more than ten years. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You must have something. Tell me, why do you want to meet those people? "
Lu Chen did not answer. Instead, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to know me so well."
"Shouldn't I?" Old Ma asked back.
Lu Chen said, "Of course. After all, we've lived together in that broken village of Qingshuitang for ten years. But I really didn't expect you to be so meticulous. If we have a falling out in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape as long as you're here. "
Old Ma's expression changed slightly. Then, he laughed and said, "Then you have to be careful. Don't walk right into the trap."
Lu Chen smiled and looked at Old Ma. "Yes, so when it really comes to that, I'll have to find a way to kill you and then run for my life."
The smile on Old Ma's face froze. He looked at Lu Chen and could not smile for a moment.
The atmosphere between the two of them froze for a moment. After a while, Lu Chen suddenly laughed out loud. He reached out and patted Old Ma's shoulder. He said with a smile, "Just a casual sentence and you're scared silly?"
Old Ma swallowed his saliva. After a while, he laughed dryly and said, "Nonsense. Brother, don't talk nonsense. I don't know about others, but you, the shadow … I'm really scared. "
Lu Chen looked at Old Ma, and the frivolous look on his face gradually disappeared. As if he had thought of something, he straightened his expression and nodded to Old Ma. He said seriously, "Don't worry. I've always treated you as my best brother for so many years."
Old Ma stared at him for a moment, then his expression relaxed and he smiled.
Sunlight shone down from the sky, shining on the huge white tiger statue. The strange tiger eyes seemed to be staring in this direction.
…
"Let's cut the crap. We were supposed to get down to business, but we got sidetracked," Old Ma said to Lu Chen. "Let's get down to business first. Who are you going to see today?"
"A gardener," Lu Chen replied.
What did a gardener do? As the name suggested, they were people who took care of flowers and plants. The Immortal City was huge, had a large population, and was known as the most prosperous place in the world. Naturally, there were all kinds of needs, and flowers and plants were one of them.
Of course, compared with the nightclub, which was an ancient business that humans instinctively did since ancient times, the gardener's business was still much smaller. Most of the time, there might only be one or two gardeners in an ordinary city. However, there were still many gardeners in the Immortal City. After all, in addition to helping people plant flowers and plants, there were also many gardeners who directly opened their own shops and sold precious flowers to the public.
The flower shop that Lu Chen and Old Ma found was in the White Tiger District. In fact, it wasn't too far from the place where they rested before. It was probably near the territory of the white tiger statue's tail.
Soon, they went around two streets and saw the front of the flower shop.
"Thousand Flowers Hall?"
Looking at the flower shop across the street from a distance, Old Ma frowned slightly and suddenly said to Lu Chen, "If this shop was opened in Kunwu City, it would have been torn down thirty or fifty times, right?"
"Huh? What do you mean? "Lu Chen asked with some surprise.
Old Ma said, "This name is obviously disrespectful to the Kunlun Party."
Lu Chen was a little puzzled. He looked at the Thousand Flowers Hall a few more times, but he still didn't see any clues. He said, "I don't think so? I don't think this name offends the Kunlun Party. "
Old Ma smiled and didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said proudly, "You go back and think about it carefully. If you really can't think of anything, you can ask me again at night."
"You're actually keeping me in suspense …" Lu Chen glared at Old Ma with some dissatisfaction. Old Ma didn't care and walked towards the flower shop with a smile. He also beckoned to Lu Chen to follow him.
Lu Chen curled his lips. It was unknown whether he was cursing or not. He then walked to Old Ma's side. He heard Old Ma say in a low voice, "The person you're looking for is in here?"
Lu Chen looked ahead and said, "Yes, but I'll say it again. All the people on that list haven't been proved whether they're good or evil. You should be careful later and don't act recklessly. It'll be bad if you wrongly accuse an innocent person."
Old Ma casually replied, "It doesn't matter. In any case, we're doing great things, so we don't care about the lives of ordinary people …"
Lu Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped, but he stood still on the spot.
Old Ma immediately stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen looked at him silently. After a long silence, he said, "What you said just now was not good. Don't say it like that in the future." He seemed to sigh and said in a low voice, "Ordinary people are still people."
Old Ma was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and smiled, "You're right. In fact, I just said it casually. Speaking of which, compared with those real big shots, we are also ordinary people. "
Hearing his self-mocking tone, Lu Chen also smiled and walked past him. At the same time, he laughed in a low voice and said, "Come on, do you think I don't know you? As long as you safely retire in the future, you will definitely have enough backup plans to live the rest of your life comfortably."
Old Ma was shocked and stared at Lu Chen, "Damn it! You actually know me so well. It seems that before I retire, I have to think of a way to kill you first. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future. "
Lu Chen laughed.
…
When the two of them walked into the Thousand Flower Hall, they were greeted by clusters of delicate and alluring flowers, and pots of gorgeous flowers were placed in the shop. The red flowers and green leaves were extremely charming, causing one to be unable to take it all in. The air was filled with a dense fragrance of flowers, causing one to be intoxicated by the smell.
Lu Chen and Old Ma were actually people with rich experience. However, it was the first time that they suddenly saw so many flowers in one place. This feeling was different from the feeling of planting one or two precious flowers in those courtyards.
Vaguely, there was a feeling of a forest of flowers in front of them. It seemed to set off the extraordinariness of the shop owner.
However, unlike other shops, this extraordinary boss didn't rush to greet customers as soon as he saw them. Lu Chen and Old Ma waited at the door for a while and admired many pots of beautiful flowers, but no one came to greet them.
At this time, both Lu Chen and Old Ma felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other and Old Ma muttered, "Something seems wrong. I've never seen a person who does business like this."
Lu Chen's gaze swept across the Thousand Flowers Hall and looked ahead, but he said, "No, I've seen it before."
Old Ma was startled and said in surprise, "What? You've seen it before?"
"Yes, I have." Lu Chen seemed to have sensed something and began to walk into the flower shop. At the same time, he continued to say to Old Ma, "For example, there was a shop in Kunwu City called 'Black Hill Pavilion'. The boss there was almost the same as this one. Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and one day of sleeping."
Old Ma said, "… You … Don't make venomous accusations …"
Just as he was about to argue, Lu Chen suddenly grabbed Old Ma's arm and his expression darkened. Old Ma was startled and his expression also slightly changed.
In the depths of this flower shop, the smell of blood began to come from the fragrance of flowers. After turning around a pot of flowers, they saw the owner of the flower shop they were looking for.
It was a dead man, nailed to the wall by a long sword. Blood stained the white wall under his body.
