This clamorous and lively disciple acceptance ceremony that shook the entire Immortal City finally came to an end before dusk arrived. Everyone left with a satisfied and joyful smile, walking out of the majestic Kunlun Hall and dispersing in all directions.
When night fell, the Kunlun Hall finally regained its silence. Looking out from the hall and through the door, one could see a bright moon slowly rising, radiating a bright and gentle light that shone on the mortal world.
At this moment, there were only two people left in the huge hall.
When there was no one around, Perfected Lord Tianlan casually sat on the ground, gazing at the bright moon in the distant night sky with a deep gaze. Beside him, Lu Chen also sat quietly, but he did not look at the moonlight outside. Instead, he was staring at an unknown dark corner in the hall, lost in thought.
Not far behind the two of them, under the White Lotus Throne, on the tall and wide wooden table, all kinds of rare treasures were piled up like a mountain, to the point that the table could no longer hold them all. They slid down like worthless sand and piled up around the table, forming a treasure mountain that could make most cultivators in the world go crazy with envy.
However, the two of them did not seem to be among the majority of the cultivators, because from the beginning to the end, Perfected Lord Tianlan and Lu Chen did not look back at the treasure mountain.
This silence lasted for a long time. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Lu Chen broke the silence and said, "Hey, let me ask you something."
Perfected Lord Tianlan replied with a "hmm".
Lu Chen said, "Did you want to take me in as your disciple when you took me in and nurtured me when I was young?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan retracted his gaze from the moonlight and turned to look at Lu Chen, saying, "No."
Lu Chen asked, "Why?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan said calmly, "What you wanted to do back then was too dangerous. Even I couldn't guarantee your safety. Moreover, it seemed that after you sneaked into the Devil Cult, you would most likely die. So, you see, I can't possibly place all my hopes on a person who can die at any time, right? "
Lu Chen sighed and said, "In any case, today is the first day I formally acknowledged you as my master. You don't have to be so straightforward with your words."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled warmly and said, "Apart from being with you all these years, it's rare for me to be able to speak freely. I'll take this opportunity to say a few more words. I'm delighted to see you suffer."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said grumpily, "You are a famous Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivator. Why are you acting like a resentful woman? Do you have to do this?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan burst into laughter and looked delighted.
When Supreme Tianlan's laughter stopped, Lu Chen looked at him and said, "Well, no matter what, I've taken you as my master. What do you need me to do next? "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan's eyes flickered as if he was curious. He looked at his disciple with a smile and said, "That's strange. If other people were to become a disciple of a Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivator, needless to say, the first thing they would do would be to obtain various cultivation resources from their master and cultivate to their heart's content. It would take at least a few years, and at most a dozen years. If they don't improve their cultivation to the Jin Dan Yuanying realm, they would be too embarrassed to tell others that they are the disciple of a Divine Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivator. Why is it that when it comes to you, you don't even think about cultivation and the first thing you want to do is to help me? "
Lu Chen's expression was indifferent and did not seem to be affected. He said, "That's for others. The situation is different. You are not those other Perfected Cultivators, and I am not those people."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan stared at him for a moment and then nodded. He seemed to be a little emotional, but he did not dwell on this matter. Then, he asked calmly, "Then can I trust you completely, Tian Ying?"
Lu Chen sat where he was and didn't answer immediately. His expression was a little strange. He didn't know if it was because of the sudden call, or if it was because of the high and mighty person in front of him saying the word "believe".
After a long time, Lu Chen raised his head and met Perfected Lord Tianlan's gaze. He nodded and said calmly, "Sure." He said calmly, "You can trust me!"
…
"The Kunlun Party has dispatched many people recently. Almost all of them have arrived at Immortal City." In the quiet hall of Kunlun, Perfected Lord Tian Lan and Lu Chen sat side by side. Their voices were so soft that only the two of them could hear them. "This group of people includes the other experts of the Kunlun Party. Together with Fuyunji, they are the two strongest forces under me. If I want to do something big, I must integrate these two forces."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at Lu Chen and said, "But it is not that easy. Although both sides listen to me, it will be troublesome to integrate them. Xue Ying is very capable, but the Kunlun Party is very biased and may not be willing to submit to her. So I need someone to mediate between them, and this person is none other than you. "
Lu Chen nodded silently. He had no objections to this.
Regardless of anything else, he was the only disciple and successor of Perfected Lord Tian Lan. This was enough for the experts of the Kunlun Party to acknowledge him. Moreover, he had been in the shadow of Fuyunji for at least 20 years. He was very familiar with Fuyunji.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not reject this. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best."
When Perfected Lord Tianlan saw that he promised so readily, a hint of gratification flashed across his face. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, when it's time to support you, I'll definitely do so. Also, I won't treat you badly. At the very least, I'll let you have the strength to fight against a Nascent Soul Perfected Master."
Lu Chen smiled and suddenly asked, "Can I trust you?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan was stunned. "Of course. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Lu Chen looked into his eyes and said, "Then you said you wanted to do something big. What is it?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan said without hesitation, "You know me. For so many years, my top priority has been to completely annihilate the Devil Cult. Therefore, your next task is to mediate between the two parties. You will command and pursue the remaining members of the Devil Cult and try to completely destroy this tumor. "
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I understand. What else?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled. "What else? What are you referring to? "
Lu Chen did not smile. He only looked at him quietly.
The bright moon outside the hall finally rose into the night sky. The shadows on the ground gradually became shorter and blurred. The mountain of treasures behind them also quietly disappeared into the darkness.
The surrounding was silent. The smile on Perfected Lord Tian Lan's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Lu Chen indifferently. His gaze gradually turned from gentle to deep and boundless, like the ocean with faint waves rising and falling.
"Why do you ask me this?" When Perfected Lord Tian Lan spoke again, his voice was still deep and thick. However, there seemed to be a hint of thunder in it.
