That day, when Lu Chen, Old Ma, and White Lotus walked out of the Horse Washing Bridge Alley, the Black Dog did not follow them. The reason was actually very simple. It could even be said to be the same old story. The Immortal City had issued a ban on dogs. It would be too eye-catching to have such a big dog following them.
As for White Lotus's suggestion to find a spacious carriage, Lu Chen and Old Ma rejected it. This was because the place they were going to this time was no longer a secluded alley or a deserted house, but a lively street.
Of course, in addition to this, Atsu itself was also a reason. After hearing White Lotus's suggestion to take it out for a stroll, Atsu did not seem to be interested at all. As usual, it held the demon beast meat that Lu Chen threw to it and gnawed on it with relish. It seemed to be very satisfied with its current life and had no intention of changing.
So in the end, White Lotus had to give up on this idea. However, when she followed Lu Chen and Old Ma to the lively street and saw the tavern where the suspected chef was, Lu Chen and Old Ma looked at each other but did not walk in. Instead, they entered a teahouse across the street and found a seat by the window. They ordered some tea and snacks and actually drank tea and chatted leisurely, glancing at the tavern from time to time.
White Lotus had always been a very smart girl, but she wasn't born with knowledge. She didn't understand what Lu Chen and Old Ma were doing, so she sat in the teahouse for two hours and saw that the two men still had no intention of leaving. Finally, she couldn't help but ask the question in her mind. White Lotus had been drinking tea for two hours in the teahouse, but the two men still had no intention of leaving.
"What are you two doing?"
Old Ma pointed at the tavern opposite and said, "We went there yesterday, so we have to avoid arousing suspicion today, so we waited here."
"Wait for what?" White Lotus asked in confusion.
Old Ma said, "Let's wait for the chef to make a mistake. Let's see if he has any abnormal behavior or actions. If he has, we will naturally follow the clues and investigate. If not …"
He paused and glanced at Lu Chen.
White Lotus quickly noticed Old Ma's action. She also looked at Lu Chen and asked, "What if nothing happens?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Continue to wait."
White Lotus frowned and said, "How long do we have to wait? If there is no problem with that person, you can't possibly wait for a lifetime, right? "
Old Ma coughed and interrupted, "That won't happen. Generally speaking, we will guard this kind of thing for half a month at most. If nothing else happens after half a month, we will usually give up on this person."
White Lotus's eyes lit up slightly and said, "That means, you usually only need half a month at most to investigate these people?"
Lu Chen, who was next to her, shook his head and said, "No."
"Huh?"
Lu Chen didn't say anything more. Old Ma continued, "Generally, when people do this kind of disguise, they will often reveal all kinds of flaws within ten days to half a month. This is inevitable. That is why we said that at most half a month, we can see if there is anything strange about this person. However, there are exceptions to everything. In the shadow business, there are also some top figures. They have strong nerves and are very good at hiding. They do everything the way they do. You can't find anything strange about them at all. "
As he said this, Old Ma glanced at Lu Chen intentionally or unintentionally, but he saw that Lu Chen's face was indifferent and didn't change at all. So, Old Ma smiled and said to White Lotus, "In short, since we can't find the flaws of that person now, we will wait for a period of time to secretly monitor him. If there is really something strange, Lu Chen will naturally see it."
White Lotus's eyes flickered and she looked at Lu Chen meaningfully. Then she said, "Sure enough, there is something wrong with your identity. When we were on Kunlun Mountain, I felt that there was something wrong with you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's all your Martial Uncle's fault."
…
The waiting time was obviously very unbearable, at least for White Lotus who was experiencing this kind of thing for the first time. After enduring for half a day with great difficulty, she finally couldn't help but say to the two men beside her,
"For such a person who may not necessarily be a spy of the Evil Sect, is it not worth it to waste so much time here?"
"This kind of thing can never be rushed, patience is more important than anything." Lu Chen replied, "And although this person is on the list, he is definitely not a big shot."
White Lotus was stunned for a moment and said, "How can you be so sure?"
Lu Chen smiled and didn't speak. Old Ma at the side said, "Location."
He pointed to the tavern and said, "Such an ordinary tavern, being an inconspicuous cook, he can't get any secret information about Zhenxianmeng and also can't be of great help to the Evil Sect. A spy with real identity and ability can't possibly have this kind of identity."
White Lotus pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "So there are quite a lot of tricks here. But since that's the case, why do we still …"
"Small characters also have their uses. In the situation where we can't find the Evil Sect, we can follow these small characters and maybe we can slowly follow the vines to find some bigger people." As Lu Chen spoke, he stood up and said calmly, "Let's go, looks like that cook is going home early today."
…
The leader of the younger generation of the Kunlun Party, one of the most talented and strongest Kunlun disciples, Su Qingjun, walked into this vast and majestic immortal city without city walls at dusk.
When she entered the city, she was alone, but this time there were many people from the Kunlun Party who came with her to the immortal city, and they were extremely powerful. Under the leadership of several powerful Yuanying realm Zhenren, the most outstanding elites of the Kunlun Party almost all came from Kunlun Mountain to the immortal city. But in order not to attract attention, they separated halfway.
This was also the first time Su Qingjun came to the immortal city.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, from the direction she came from, when Su Qingjun walked into the immortal city and walked on the bustling streets, she looked into the distance and saw the majestic and huge statue. It felt exactly the same as Lu Chen that day.
That huge statue of the white tiger divine beast, although it had weathered wind and rain and was old and mottled, but that pair of eyes seemed to have life in the silence. No matter where Su Qingjun went, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
That white tiger divine beast.
That inexplicable aura.
This was the first time Su Qingjun came to the immortal city. Like Lu Chen, she was shocked by this city. Then, she strolled on the long street and soon found that although night was about to fall and the sky was dark, the bustling scene on the streets of the immortal city did not show any signs of subsiding. It seemed that here, even in the dark, they could still have a party.
She suddenly thought of her hometown. She thought of her mother who had not spoken to her for several years. She thought of her father who had become taciturn after that incident. She also thought of the man she had not seen for a long time.
She felt a little tired. She looked up and looked around. On the streets of this foreign land, she suddenly wanted to find a tavern to have a good drink and rest.
