Lu Chen saw a red door floating in the boundless night sky. The sky was decorated with stars, shining brightly.
He felt that the red door of light looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. After a while, he suddenly thought of the tree hole in the mysterious seed and the two doors that appeared in the depths of the tree wall.
It seemed a little similar, but after looking at it carefully for a long time, he felt that something was wrong. Lu Chen felt that his mind was a little nervous and slow, as if he could vaguely see the truth but could not grasp it.
Then, he suddenly saw the red door of light in the night sky shining with extraordinary splendor, radiating a blood-red light.
In the dazzling light, the door, opened!
In an instant, the red light illuminated the world, and a blood-red moon rose from the door, rising directly to the center of the night sky, shining brightly. Therefore, every inch and every place between heaven and earth was covered with red, looking like a sea of blood.
"Phew!" Lu Chen let out a muffled groan, feeling a splitting headache, and suddenly woke up from the nightmare. When he opened his eyes, he saw a white wall and a familiar bed.
Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, and his breathing was rapid. But at this moment, suddenly, a broad and gentle big hand stretched out from behind him, and gently patted his shoulder. Then, he heard that familiar deep and deep voice behind him, saying, "Are you dreaming?"
Lu Chen composed himself, then turned around and saw Perfected Lord Tianlan sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at him with some concern. His hand was still on his shoulder, and it was as warm as a mountain.
For some reason, Lu Chen inexplicably felt a prickling pain on his back, as if a knife was stabbing into his back.
He looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan, took a deep breath, as if he had calmed down from the nightmare, and then regained his composure, saying, "Where am I? What happened? "
"You were in the house at Horse Washing Bridge. Because you were injured in the battle with the demons of the Devil Cult, you were unconscious for a day and just woke up." Perfected Lord Tianlan explained the situation to him briefly and straightforwardly. Then, he asked, "How do you feel now?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then felt pain coming from some parts of his body, but it was almost nothing to him. Other than that, there didn't seem to be any other serious internal injuries, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I should be fine. Logically speaking, my injury shouldn't have healed so quickly. Could it be that you … "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan nodded. "I helped out a little."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment before looking up at Perfected Lord Tian Lan. "You're a Perfected Lord of the Immortal Alliance whose name is known throughout the world and is highly respected. No matter what, you shouldn't be taking action for a nobody. Aren't you announcing to the world that there's an unknown relationship between us by doing this?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan shrugged, looking as if he didn't care at all. "More or less."
But Lu Chen didn't want him to muddle through like this. He frowned and said, "Don't fool around. This matter is very troublesome. After what you've done, Zhenxianmeng and the Devil Cult will probably know that I have a close relationship with you. How can I help you with those secret matters in the future …"
"No." Perfected Lord Tian Lan said, "You don't have to do those things in the future."
Lu Chen was startled and said with some surprise, "What?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan stood up and walked two steps in the house with his hands behind his back. He said lightly, "You should recuperate first. After two days, when you're better, I'll find a chance to hold a ceremony and officially announce to the world that I've accepted you as my disciple."
Even if Lu Chen had long since tempered his calm disposition to remain unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him, he was astounded at this moment, and he was shocked to the point of being unable to speak for a long time. After a short while, he said with slight disbelief, "You, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly doing this?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled and said, "Because you've worked hard and made great contributions. More than ten years ago, you sneaked into the Devil Cult when you were still a teenager. You were accompanied by danger day and night and only a thin line between life and death. After that, you've made great contributions time and time again. Especially in the battle of the desolate valley, you reversed the situation and defeated the Devil Cult's hundred-year plan, benefiting the people in the world. I've never been able to repay you for such contributions. Now, it can be considered … "
"I don't believe you!" Lu Chen shook his head and said.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan was obviously stunned. Then, he sighed and said, "Alright, I've raised you since you were young. No matter what happens in the future, I've only treated you like this all these years. Don't tell me that you still doubt my sincerity in raising you? "
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen said slowly, "You've raised me. Naturally, I trust and respect you. I've even risked my life for you. But to be honest, given your identity and status, and … "He paused for a moment and said in a low voice," Anyway, you didn't accept me as your disciple 10 years ago. I can't understand why you're doing this all of a sudden. "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan turned around and stared at Lu Chen with a pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea. The light in his eyes was like surging waves that could drown a person at any time.
Lu Chen also calmed down and looked at him calmly. However, no one knew that under the blanket, his palms were secretly clenched into fists and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
…
The room was silent. After an unknown period of time, Perfected Lord Tianlan finally looked away and walked to the window. With his back facing Lu Chen, he looked out of the window and gazed at the sky in the distance.
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It felt like he was being stared at by an incomparably ferocious beast. It was hair-raising.
After a while, he suddenly heard Perfected Lord Tian Lan, who was standing in front of the window, say something that confused him. "Do you know what 'luck' means?"
"Luck?" Lu Chen was stunned. He then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Does it mean luck?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan turned around and glanced at him. Lu Chen immediately waved his hand and said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him for a moment and suddenly sighed. "Over the past few decades, you're the only one who dared to talk to me like that. Yet, I've always tolerated you. Now that I think about it, it's probably what master meant when he said luck. "
"Master?" Lu Chen hesitated. A sliver of sternness appeared on his face as he said, "Perhaps it's your master, the Tian Hong ancestor?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan nodded silently. After a moment of silence, he said, "My master has only taken in two disciples in his life. One is me, and the other is my senior brother, Bai Chen. Senior brother Bai Chen joined the sect decades before me. Be it his realm, Dharmic Dao, reputation, or ability, he was above me in all aspects. Everyone in the world, including the Kunlun Party, thought that he would definitely inherit master's mantle and inherit the 'Tian' Dao title. But in the end, master passed it on to me. Do you know why? "
For some reason, Lu Chen suddenly felt nervous. In order to ease his nervousness, he forced a smile and said, "I don't know."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan suddenly burst into laughter. He looked like he was smiling. After a sigh, he said, "Actually, I don't know either. It's just that before master died, when I hugged his body and was at a loss of what to do, the last thing he said to me was, 'You have the luck to inherit the Dao title.' "
After a pause, Perfected Lord Tian Lan seemed to be in a daze as if he was recalling the past. He then said leisurely, "I remember that Senior Brother Bai Chen almost went mad from anger …"
