Lu Chen sat in the yard and looked at the Black Dog lying by his feet. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
Old Ma, who was next to him, felt strange and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything strange about this dog?"
Lu Chen hesitated and seemed to be unsure. He said, "Not really. I just feel that it is a little … listless today."
Old Ma was stunned and said, "I remember that Atsu is like this at this time. Anyway, it is either eating or sleeping. Is it because it wants to sleep because it is getting dark?"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, seemingly disapproving. Just as he was about to speak, the two of them suddenly heard a series of knocks coming from the gate in the distance.
"Clap, clap." The sound of clapping was particularly clear in the quiet surroundings. Old Ma and Lu Chen looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes, as well as a trace of vigilance that seemed to come from instinct.
After a moment, Old Ma said in a low voice, "Only Fuyunji knows about this place. Did they send someone here, or did you come here yourself?"
Lu Chen simply shook his head and said, "It can't be that damn baldy. Trust me, if he came here, he would either appear soundlessly in this courtyard, or the four walls of this place would have been crushed before he could come here."
Old Ma didn't seem to have any objections to Lu Chen's judgment. At the same time, he muttered, "That makes sense. Moreover, it shouldn't be someone from the Floating Clouds Agency. I just went to look for them not too long ago." He paused for a moment before standing up and saying, "Forget it, I'll go take a look."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Be careful."
Old Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry." Then he turned around and walked towards the gate.
Lu Chen lowered his head and touched Atsu's head. Atsu looked up at him and his eyes flickered.
Lu Chen said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Atsu turned its head and seemed to have some reaction. Suddenly, a confused voice came from the gate. After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard. It was Old Ma who came back with a strange look on his face. There was a figure behind him.
Delicate face and elegant temperament. It was White Lotus.
Lu Chen furrowed his brows as he stood up. The usually lazy Ah-Tu also stood up without a word and stared at Bai Lian with a strange look in his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Lu Chen asked.
White Lotus was not angry at Lu Chen's cold question. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about the conflict with Lu Chen in the butcher's shop a few days ago.
At this moment, White Lotus was all smiles. She did not look like a mortal. She nodded to Lu Chen and said, "We meet again."
Lu Chen looked at Old Ma with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Old Ma smiled bitterly and walked to his side. He said, "She said that she will come to help us track down the Evil Cult. This time she came with the approval of True Lord Tianlan. There is also a handwritten letter as proof."
Even Lu Chen, who was usually calm, was stunned at this moment. He asked in astonishment, "What?"
Old Ma sighed, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lu Chen. He said, "Although I don't know how she got this letter, this letter is indeed written by True Lord Tianlan. I can recognize it. It can't be wrong."
Lu Chen's face was gloomy. He took out the letter and read it from beginning to end. Then he snorted and said in a low voice, "What the hell is this damn baldy doing? He has to make trouble for us."
Old Ma coughed and said, "Be careful with your words … She is still here."
At this time, White Lotus smiled and said, "Are you two men done talking? Why are you whispering like a little girl?"
Lu Chen and Old Ma turned to look at her together. After a while, Lu Chen frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with you, and it may be dangerous. You really don't have to get involved."
Bai Lian's face turned solemn as she said, "Now that I've been cultivating with Martial Uncle Tianlan, I've received his teachings and understand that cultivation is for the sake of righteousness and for the sake of the common people. That's why I've come to ask Martial Uncle Tianlan to lend you a hand."
Lu Chen and Old Ma were both stunned and then looked at each other. After a while, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Well, now I believe that you have been cultivating with that damn baldy …"
…
"What's the matter with that damn baldy? How could he throw this little ancestor here?" In the bedroom, Lu Chen complained to Old Ma.
Old Ma was also puzzled and pondered, "Could it be that Senior Zhenjun has some kind of far-reaching plan? Is he playing a big game of chess? "
"Bullshit!" Lu Chen interrupted him rudely and sneered, "The most annoying people are those who have not done anything but say that they are playing a big game of chess to save face. Tell me, what's the benefit of letting White Lotus stay with us? "
Obviously, Old Ma could not figure out the reason, so he had to smooth things over and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's not that urgent. Calm down. After tomorrow morning, I will go to Mount Tianlong and find an opportunity to see Immortal and see what is going on. "
Lu Chen shook his head and said to himself, "I don't think it's useful. That damn baldy will hide his thoughts in his heart and won't tell you."
Old Ma laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a trip. Well, it's getting late. You should rest early."
As he said this, he walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly, he heard a cry of surprise. His body stiffened and then he jumped back reflexively. Lu Chen and Black Dog were also startled. They stood up and turned their heads to look.
They saw a figure standing at the door. In the dark night, that white face looked a little scary, although it was still very beautiful. It was White Lotus.
Old Ma seemed to be quite frightened. He patted his chest and said in surprise, "Little lady! What are you doing standing here in the middle of the night? "
White Lotus smiled and said, "I'm here to bring you something."
"Huh?" The two people in the room were both surprised. Old Ma said in surprise, "Something for me? What is it?"
White Lotus reached out and pulled a big package from the side. Without saying a word, she pushed it into Old Ma's arms.
Old Ma hesitated for a moment and opened it. Suddenly, his face changed. He jumped up and shouted, "Isn't, isn't this my bedding and luggage?"
"Yes." White Lotus smiled and said, "I packed it for you and brought it here for you. Not bad, right? You don't have to thank me."
"Thank you …" Old Ma was angry and shouted, "What do you mean? It's all my …"
"What I mean is, that bedroom belongs to me. You can't be delusional enough to cohabit with a girl like me, right?"
"You …" Old Ma was so angry that he was speechless. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. When he turned around, he saw that Lu Chen was smiling gloatingly at his misfortune. He immediately became even angrier. Turning around, he yelled at Bai Lian, "There are two rooms here. Why did you only take mine and not Lu Chen's?"
White Lotus glanced at Lu Chen and then said, "Martial Uncle Tianlan asked me to pick up this person. In addition, he often said" damn baldy "from time to time, but he is still alive and well today. It shows that he must have a backer. Why would I provoke him?"
Old Ma was so angry that he shouted, "So you think I'm a small fry, so you provoke me?"
White Lotus glanced at him and then nodded and said, "Yes, if I provoke you, what will you do?"
After saying that, she turned and left.
There was silence in the bedroom, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Lu Chen and Old Ma looked at each other. After a while, Old Ma suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that I really can't do anything …"
