The room immediately became quiet. Lu Chen, Old Ma, and Xue Ying all had strange expressions on their faces. Everyone looked towards White Lotus at the same time.
White Lotus, after losing her composure for a moment, quickly noticed the expressions of the others. She was startled for a moment and the expression on her face also stiffened. After a while, she quickly regained her composure. After forcing a smile, she said to everyone, "This is a great joyous occasion. How come I've never heard of it? You, Lu Chen, actually keeping your mouth shut. I've never heard you mention it before … "
Although this beautiful girl was trying her best to smooth things over, the reluctance in her expression still fell into everyone's eyes. However, they naturally could not say anything. Not long after, White Lotus found an excuse to leave.
Xue Ying seemed indifferent to this. Although White Lotus was beautiful and moving, it could not possibly affect a girl like her. Instead, when she saw that Lu Chen and Old Ma's expressions were somewhat strange, she even smiled and asked in a seemingly profound manner, "What, do you feel sorry for them?"
"Of course not." Old Ma was the first to bluntly deny it. He said, "I just find it strange that she suddenly became like this. We didn't offend her just now."
Xue Ying snorted and turned to look at Lu Chen. She said, "Don't tell me that you don't know in your heart?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment. He frowned slightly and said, "Is she … also interested in that position? It can't be to this extent, right?"
Sitting to the side, Old Ma's expression changed. Xue Ying, on the other hand, said indifferently, "Why not? That is the title of a True Sovereign's direct disciple. It is like a protective talisman. It is a guarantee that one can rampage through the world and have a bright future. Who doesn't want it?"
Old Ma seemed to understand the meaning behind these two's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "But doesn't she already have that identity?"
Xue Ying retorted, "Can the dead compare to the living?"
Of course, they could not compare. Everyone knew the answer to this, and the three people present were all clear-minded people, so they could naturally think of this point. However, there was a deeper meaning. Old Ma did not ask, and Xue Ying did not say.
In the end, it was Lu Chen who sighed with a helpless look on his face. He shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that she really wants Tianlan to be her teacher."
Since this topic was brought up by Lu Chen, Xue Ying no longer had any misgivings. She coldly said, "Originally, we didn't think that at such a young age, she could actually be so …" She was probably too embarrassed to say something like 'shameless'.
Xue Ying snorted and changed the topic. "Lord True Monarch took her in back then and announced it to the world. Naturally, she had some use for it. However, I didn't think that she could actually forget her teacher's kindness so quickly and want to climb higher. "
At this point, the meaning was already very clear. Xue Ying obviously thought that after her teacher, Hakushin Jinkun, died, White Lotus had instantly forgotten her teacher's kindness in raising her. She even disregarded the unclear relationship between True Monarch Tianlan and Hakushin Jinkun's death and tried in vain to become True Monarch Tianlan's disciple again. As for True Monarch Tianlan taking her in and not killing her, of course, it was to show the world that he had nothing to do with Hakushin Jinkun's death. I've already taken in that senior brother's little disciple, am I not afraid of raising a tiger in my bosom? Besides, isn't it too much for me to plot and kill Senior Brother Bai Chen?
That was the gist of it. Before this, both Lu Chen and Old Ma felt that White Lotus was a precocious and abnormally intelligent girl. They had imagined many of her reactions and even felt that she might endure humiliation and cultivate to great success in the future. Then, she would find an opportunity to kill True Monarch Tianlan. They wouldn't be surprised. However, they really didn't expect that White Lotus actually didn't seem to take Hakushin Jinkun's kindness as a master seriously. It was as if she was really looking forward to becoming True Monarch Tianlan's disciple.
Old Ma glanced at Lu Chen and asked, "When you were on Mount Kunlun, did you see White Lotus and Hakushin Jinkun not get along?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No. At that time, she was very arrogant and only spoke of her identity as the True Monarch's disciple with pride."
Old Ma was speechless.
Beside him, Xue Ying stood up with a frown and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense. Lu Chen, the True Monarch has indeed decided to accept you as a disciple and has decided to make a grand event. In addition to announcing it to the world, he will also invite five other True Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance to witness it in the main hall of Mount Tianlong's Fuyunji. At the same time, he will announce your past achievements. "
Old Ma and Lu Chen were shocked at the same time. Old Ma was anxious and asked in surprise, "Hall Master, do you mean that Lu Chen's past deeds in the Devil Cult will also be mentioned …"
Xue Ying nodded and said, "Yes."
Old Ma was speechless while Lu Chen sat in the distance without moving. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Are you all afraid that I won't die quickly enough?"
What he did in the Devil Cult was certainly a great achievement for the Righteous Path and Zhenxianmeng, but for the Devil Cult, it was a blood feud. So much so that he had to hide his name for more than ten years after the battle of the Desolate Valley. He was afraid that the Devil Cult would madly pursue and kill him for revenge.
Now, in the disciple acceptance ceremony, once this matter was made public, needless to say, the Devil Cult would immediately know that the only successor of True Monarch Tian Lan was the traitor who destroyed the God Subduing Mantra. One must know that Elder Ghost was not dead yet. No one knew how many remaining evildoers there were in the Devil Cult, how many hidden masters there were, and how many madmen there were!
Xue Ying of course also understood the crux of this. So at this time, the gaze she looked at Lu Chen gradually softened. No matter what, although she was very envious of such a hot position, she really did not dare to sit on it so openly.
"This is True Monarch's intention." Xue Ying slowed down her tone and said to Lu Chen with a hint of comfort, "Before I went down the mountain, True Monarch specially asked me to come over and explain this to you. His original words were: as his disciple and the successor of the Tian character Taoist name in Kunlun, these are all small difficulties, nothing to him. "
Lu Chen snorted and said, "He is a Deity Realm True Monarch, naturally it is nothing to him."
Xue Ying ignored the resentment in Lu Chen's words. She just coughed lightly and said, "He also said, either you are afraid, don't go up the mountain to be his disciple, leave the Immortal City, and never appear in front of him again, or you deal with everything yourself. If you die in the hands of the Devil Cult's evildoers in the future, it is because you are useless."
Lu Chen's expression was indifferent. After a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain."
Old Ma wanted to say something but stopped. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to stop him, but in the end, his hand fell down powerlessly. A trace of a smile appeared on Xue Ying's face.
But when Lu Chen walked past Xue Ying, his footsteps suddenly paused, then he turned to look at Xue Ying. After a while, he suddenly said, "In those words just now, you probably added some oil to the fire, right?" He said indifferently, "Although I always scold that baldie for being shameless and a bastard, that person would never say such heartless words to me."
As he said this, he ignored Xue Ying's suddenly somewhat stiff expression and walked past her.
