Lu Chen stood silently under the peach tree for a while, and his eyes became clear. He looked at the peach tree from head to toe, circled around it, and then patted the trunk with his hand. Listening to the low and solid sound coming from under his hand, Lu Chen could not help but frown slightly.
Of course, the peach tree was real. From the pink peach blossoms on the branches to the roots of the tree, it was a real peach tree that was growing well. However, there was indeed a secret passage hidden under the peach tree, which Lu Chen had discovered when he came over yesterday. The woman named Song Wenji had been standing there, intentionally or unintentionally, blocking the young butcher's escape route. In the end, Rui Xiaotian was forced to detonate the final mechanism and escape in the chaos.
Since the peach tree was real, the mechanism that could control the underground secret passage should not be on the tree. Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then squatted down and began to search the ground carefully, ignoring the dirt on the ground and the various junk left by the explosion yesterday.
He searched the ground very carefully and skillfully, as if he had done this kind of thing more than once before.
On this quiet morning, in this abandoned house, a man was lying on the ground, carefully searching for something under the peach tree. This scene looked funny, funny, and a little strange.
However, this situation did not last for long. Lu Chen's body suddenly trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the other end of the courtyard of the house. There was a trace of surprise and vigilance on his face.
A figure gently flipped over from the wall over there and landed on the ground. In the next moment, she also saw Lu Chen who was still lying on the ground in the courtyard, and she was stunned for a moment.
A gentle breeze blew past, sweeping past the blooming peach blossoms, bringing with it a few pink petals that floated and fell with the wind, floating on the ground between them. They looked at each other for a moment, and then Lu Chen sighed and said, "Why are you here?"
Standing under the wall was an exceptionally beautiful girl who even looked a little ethereal. It was White Lotus.
At this moment, after the initial surprise, White Lotus quickly regained her composure. After smiling slightly, she walked over and stopped not far from Lu Chen. She smiled and said, "I'm here to look for you."
Lu Chen clapped his hands and simply sat on the ground, too lazy to stand up. He said, "Why didn't you enjoy yourself in Zhenxianmeng on Sky Dragon Mountain and come down the mountain to look for me? There's nothing here that's worth your time. If you really have so much time, I think you might as well hang out with that Perfected Lord Tian Lan. As long as he's in a good mood one day and teaches you a few moves, it should be enough for you to enjoy. "
However, White Lotus looked like she didn't care. She giggled and threw away her usual cold fairy-like appearance. Instead, she had a bit of a temper that a girl of her age should have. After curling her lips, she said, "I'm too lazy to stay on that mountain. It's so boring all day. Not to mention other things, just in the main hall of Zhenxianmeng on the mountain, you have to be careful of anyone. No one knows when the big shots behind them will suddenly be pulled out. It's so annoying! "
"Is that so?" Lu Chen smiled. Unconsciously, he felt that the girl in front of him, whom he hadn't seen for years, was much more pleasing to the eye than he remembered. He nodded and said, "You don't know how lucky you are. Maybe the lifelong dream of others is to be favored by a Perfected Lord of the Divine Transformation Realm like you."
White Lotus snorted and said disapprovingly, "What's there to dream about? I don't think there's anything strange about it. What about you? If it were you, would you feel flattered by such favor? "
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn't expect White Lotus to ask such an abrupt question, which caught him off guard.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen suddenly smiled and shook his head. "Well, I'll probably have the same reaction as you."
"I really didn't misjudge you." White Lotus looked very happy. She even clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Well, don't talk nonsense. What are you doing here now?"
Lu Chen didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "How did you know I was here, and why did you come here?"
White Lotus laughed and said, "I already expected you to ask this question." She said, "I met Old Ma this morning and found out from him."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Impossible. What kind of friendship does Old Ma have with you? It would be strange if he told you so clearly. If he told you to go to Kunlun Mountain thousands of miles away to find me, I might believe it more."
White Lotus's face darkened. She said, "What? Is Old Ma such a bad person?"
Lu Chen sternly said, "Yeah, rotten to the core, rotten to the core."
White Lotus chuckled, looking like the beautiful peach blossoms beside her. Then she said with a smile, "Well, in fact, Martial Uncle Tianlan told me that I had nothing to do. If I wanted to, I could come to work with you. Old Ma also heard this, so he told me your whereabouts. "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and then nodded. It seemed that he accepted White Lotus's words.
Then, White Lotus glanced at the messy courtyard and rooms around and asked him what happened here.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but he still gave White Lotus a brief explanation of what had happened here. When he was done, he said to her, "According to my previous experience, I can see that there should be a secret passage hidden under this place, and the switch should be nearby. I was looking for it here just now."
White Lotus said "hmm" and took two steps forward. She looked a little curious and said, "Do you want me to help you?"
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "No need." After that, he stood up and continued to search nearby.
White Lotus was not angry. She stood quietly behind him and found a stone to sit down. Looking at Lu Chen's back, a faint light flashed in her bright eyes.
Lu Chen did not look back. After a moment, he suddenly said, "How are you doing now?"
White Lotus shrugged and said, "Pretty good. At least no one on Sky Dragon Mountain dares to disrespect me. Maybe they all think that I will be the successor of Martial Uncle Tianlan in the future."
Lu Chen looked back at her and said, "Isn't it?"
"No."
"Hmm..." Lu Chen responded and turned back to continue searching. But after a while, he suddenly said, "If it were me, I probably wouldn't treat you so well."
White Lotus put her hands on her knees and looked at the man's back. She said, "Why? If it were you, what would you do to me? "
Lu Chen did not look back. He was still carefully searching the ground in front of him. At the same time, he said lightly, "After all, you are the last disciple of Hakushin Jinkun. If it were me, I probably would have found a way to let you die without knowing why. "
White Lotus's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a low muffled sound, and then the ground under her feet trembled. After a moment, the ground under the peach tree suddenly sank, and then a narrow stone staircase extended downwards.
"Found it." Lu Chen stood up from the ground and said to White Lotus.
