Black Dog Ah-Tu rolled over on the ground and grunted a few times. Perhaps it was dreaming about something, but it soon fell back into a deep sleep.
The bedroom was still dark and quiet. For a while, Lu Chen and Old Ma did not speak. After a long time, Old Ma sat on the edge of the bed and said in a low voice, "It's the middle of the night. Why are you suddenly telling me this instead of sleeping?"
Lu Chen was silent for a while and said, "I have no one to tell except you."
"All right." Old Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Although what I said before is a little exaggerated, but if you really want to think about it carefully, it is not completely impossible, although I think …"
"You think there is only a small possibility of this kind of thing?" Lu Chen interrupted him and asked.
After being questioned by Lu Chen, Old Ma thought for a while and then suddenly cursed in the dark. Then he said, "Damn it, it seems very possible."
Lu Chen snorted and said, "Both of us have been working with that damned baldy for more than a decade now. Even though his heart is as deep as the ocean and unfathomable, we can still more or less sense some of the clues. I only ask you one thing now, if in the future … Do you think the Devil Cult is easier to deal with, or those people in Zhenxianmeng are easier? "
Old Ma had always been cautious, but after chatting with Lu Chen for so long tonight, his mind was a little agitated and unconsciously became bolder. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Before the battle of the Barren Valley more than ten years ago, I might have chosen the Devil Cult, but now, it must be our allies."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I think so too." After a pause, he continued, "This matter is really too big, and the strength of the people over there is almost impossible to estimate. If they really fight, it will be an earth-shattering battle. No matter who wins or loses, Tianlong Mountain will certainly be covered with blood. "
Old Ma nodded slowly and said, "Most likely."
Old Ma's body trembled slightly as he thought of the terrifying scene that might happen in the future. He felt his hair stand on end.
Lu Chen patted his shoulder and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Old Ma snorted coldly and said, "I haven't lived long enough. I don't want to die yet."
"I don't want to die either," Lu Chen said.
"Then what do you mean?" Old Ma asked. "You suddenly talked to me so much tonight. You're not just complaining, are you? Or could it be that you already have an idea in your heart? "
In the beginning, Old Ma's tone was still very calm, but towards the end, he suddenly became a little excited. He moved closer to Lu Chen and looked at his face in the darkness. He lowered his voice and said softly, "I say, could it be that you really have an idea?"
Lu Chen looked at him and suddenly laughed. "I remember that you often advised me to wholeheartedly work for that damn baldy. Why did you suddenly change your mind this time?"
Old Ma was silent for a moment and said, "Lord Perfected has always been good to me, and I have always been loyal to him. However, if there really is an earth-shattering change in the future, it will be very difficult for me to survive because of my low ability. Besides, to put it bluntly, I am different from you. You may be a talent that Lord Perfected values, but I am actually just a dispensable person. Even if the sun and moon are renewed in the future, and the universe is reversed, and you are rewarded according to your contributions, you can achieve meteoric success, but what can I earn? Besides, I actually don't really want to die. Therefore, I was thinking that if I can have a way out … "
"You think I can achieve meteoric success?" Lu Chen interrupted him and asked.
Old Ma hesitated but finally nodded and said, "Yes, we have been brothers and friends for so many years, this is what I really mean. I think Lord Perfected still thinks highly of you. As long as you can help him achieve great things and make great contributions, as long as you don't die, he will definitely … "
Lu Chen lightly said, "Although I have been risking my life in the Evil Sect for so many years and seem to be indifferent to life and death, but actually I really don't want to die."
"Whether it is for that damn baldy or some illusory righteousness and justice, I still don't want to die. As for meteoric success, don't mention it. "
Old Ma took a deep breath and said, "Well, since we have already said it like this, do you have any idea?"
"Yes." Lu Chen leaned close to Old Ma's ear and whispered. That voice was unusually low, only Old Ma could hear it.
Old Ma frowned in the darkness and listened carefully. After a while, Lu Chen finished. Old Ma thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, your idea is too risky and it will be easily detected by others."
Lu Chen was slightly surprised and said, "Well, then do you have a better idea?"
Old Ma was silent for a moment and said, "Don't be anxious, let's think about this carefully. Anyway there should still be time. No matter what, this concerns both of our lives, we must strive for perfection. "
Lu Chen grunted and said, "Then what should we do about pursuing the Demonic Cult now?"
Old Ma asked back, "What do you think?"
Lu Chen said lightly, "Deal with it first. It's best if we can find out, but if not, then drag it on. Anyway, the Evil Sect is very mysterious, it's normal that we can't find them. Maybe we can find an excuse to search for the Evil Sect and leave Immortal City first."
Old Ma's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, this is a good idea, but it's too difficult to hide it from Lord True Lord."
Lu Chen seemed to have similar concerns. After nodding, he said, "Let's see first."
Both of them said nothing and then went to sleep. But in the deep night, no one knew that in this darkness, some people's hearts were already slightly disturbed.
…
The next morning, Bai Lian woke up early as usual. After changing her clothes, she took a stroll in the courtyard. After a while, she saw the door opposite her open. It was Ah-Tu, the black dog, running out with its tail wagging. It then laid on the grass and stretched its back. After a yawn, it became energetic again and started playing around the courtyard.
White Lotus walked over. Atsu glanced at her and took a few steps back vigilantly.
White Lotus was a little unhappy. She glared at Atsu and said, "You mutt, you have no conscience. How long have I known you, and we've interacted a lot. I haven't harmed you much … uh, not counting that year, at least after we met this time, I haven't done anything to you, right? How can you be so stingy! "
Atsu stared at her and wagged its tail, but it still didn't have any intention of coming closer.
White Lotus became more and more annoyed. But at this time, there was a sound from the other side of the door. It was Lu Chen and Old Ma walking out.
Lu Chen saw White Lotus and greeted her, then said directly to her, "Last time when we entered the city, didn't you get a big carriage that could fit Atsu and a few of us?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" asked White Lotus.
Lu Chen said, "Can you get another one? I want to use that carriage again today."
White Lotus was startled and said, "Of course, that's not a problem. But where are you going?"
"You'll know when the time comes," said Lu Chen.
…
About an hour later, White Lotus sat in the spacious carriage, looking at the familiar house outside through the curtain with a complicated expression.
Behind the high wall, did the peach blossoms wither?
