"Why is she angry?" The one who asked this question was Su Qingjun, who had been standing silently at the side. She was from the Kunlun Party and had met White Lotus before. Although she had just arrived in Immortal City and did not know much about the entanglement between White Lotus, Lu Chen, and Old Ma in the past, she heard that Lu Chen and Old Ma's words were a little strange. She was also a smart and sensitive woman, so she asked directly.
Lu Chen was stunned and did not know what to say for a moment. He looked at Old Ma.
Old Ma also shrugged and turned his head, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
Lu Chen was a little helpless. After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Su Qingjun, "Old Ma and I guessed it privately. She probably thought that she would become the bald head's disciple."
Old Ma stood at the side and listened. Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and he glanced at Lu Chen. In the words just now, it seemed inconspicuous, but Old Ma and Lu Chen had been together for many years, so he still heard something strange in it. For many years, Lu Chen had called Perfected Lord Tianlan "damn bald head" behind his back, but now, the word "die" was quietly missing.
Su Qingjun naturally did not notice this, but she was still surprised by Lu Chen's words. She said in astonishment, "Wasn't White Lotus the disciple of Hakushin Jinkun? Why would she think of …"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Not everyone thinks the same as you." With that, he roughly told Su Qingjun about what had happened to White Lotus these days.
After listening, Su Qingjun was silent at first, and then she shook her head gently with some pity on her face. She said, "It seems that White Lotus is a little pitiful. At a young age, her master unfortunately passed away before she succeeded in her cultivation. Now she has been taken to stay with Martial Granduncle Tianlan. Maybe she just wants to find someone to rely on. "
"Pitiful?" Lu Chen seemed to disagree with Su Qingjun's comment. He said, "That little girl is much more powerful than you think. Don't underestimate her, and don't sympathize with her. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss in the future."
Su Qingjun glanced at Lu Chen with slight surprise and said, "What's wrong with you? You're actually so harsh to a little girl?"
Lu Chen was speechless for a moment. It was no wonder that Su Qingjun would behave like this. Indeed, when White Lotus was on Kunlun Mountain in the past, except in front of him, she would show a fierce side. In front of others, she was quiet and peaceful. It seemed that she had really deceived a lot of people.
At this time, the door of the prison in front of them opened. Lu Chen did not want to continue on this topic, so he greeted them and walked inside.
Su Qingjun seemed to be a little concerned about the relationship between Lu Chen and White Lotus. It seemed that she wanted to say something more. When she took a few steps forward, she suddenly saw Lu Chen turn back and suddenly smile at her. His smile was a little strange.
Su Qingjun was a little surprised and said, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I thought of a very funny thing. The seniority between us is like a mess. When we were on Kunlun Mountain, didn't you accept me as a registered disciple? Now here, your master, Masato Kihara, has to call Tianlan Martial Uncle. Then you will become a junior to me, won't you? "
Su Qingjun thought it was true. She snorted and walked forward grumpily, saying, "Don't expect me to call you Martial Uncle."
Interrupted by him, Su Qingjun forgot what she wanted to ask White Lotus. As for Lu Chen, he smiled and walked into the dark cell with her.
…
Most of the cells in the world were dark and depressing because they were a place to imprison people and make them lose their freedom. It was a place where countless pains were created. Almost no one liked to stay here.
No matter the prisoners or the people who were themselves free.
Su Qingjun didn't like this kind of place either, so she was surprised and puzzled that Lu Chen specifically asked her to come here. But she was not a rebellious person. In fact, for so many years, although she carried the name of a genius, she basically didn't do anything too rebellious, whether in her family or in her sect. So she still came here.
She was a good daughter in the eyes of everyone in her family. She was a genius disciple in the eyes of her master. Her cultivation was brave and vigorous. It seemed that her life would be smooth sailing according to people's expectations, and she might not even encounter a few big storms.
At least so far, Su Qingjun's life was almost like this.
The reason why it was more or less the same was because a few years ago, she had also encountered a huge accident and witnessed the death of her younger brother.
The past became a knife, hidden in everyone's hearts. From time to time, when they thought of it, they would be cut, which made people feel a little sad.
Lu Chen led Su Qingjun forward and from time to time introduced the situation in a low voice to her. As for Old Ma, he had been following behind them, his eyes vigilantly looking at the cells around them.
This prison was specially set up by the Fuyun Office to imprison the evildoers of the Devil Cult. After so many years of blood feud, of course the Fuyun Office would not be courteous to these mortal enemies. Therefore, this prison was very dirty, very messy, very dark, and very smelly. It was very much like the dark place in those stories where all the evildoers gathered, it was very disgusting.
The prison cells on both sides of the road, other than the hard and wide stone walls, were almost all surrounded by iron bars as thick as a wrist. Most of the prisoners locked up here, which were the Evil Cult's evil people and captives, all looked lifeless. They hid in the dark corners of the cells, as if they were afraid of the light. Occasionally they would look with hatred, or with completely numb eyes at the figures who had just passed by, sitting motionless in the dark.
The surroundings were quiet but this dark prison looked unusually scary, there was even a faint feeling of deprivation of humanity, making people tremble with fear and especially disgusted.
Both Lu Chen and Old Ma were indifferent to the uncomfortable situation in this prison. They indifferently walked forward, as if they did not feel anything around them. Only Su Qingjun's expression turned uglier as she walked, especially when she gradually went deeper into the prison, slowly she saw more and more terrible mirror images, her face started to turn pale.
In the cells in the depths of the prison, the prisoners locked up were obviously of a higher status, and their cultivation was also stronger. However, more countermeasures had also appeared. Some were chained up, some wore heavy shackles, and some were covered in blood. There were obvious signs of torture, and they looked very miserable.
Most of the prisoners here looked very weak, they were groaning in pain, gasping for breath, as if they were the weak and tiny souls in this demonic prison.
As they continued to walk forward, when they were about to reach the deepest part of the prison, Su Qingjun suddenly stopped, her face turned abnormally pale, even bloodless. Because here, in the cell that she had just passed, she inadvertently saw a prisoner in an even more miserable state.
It was a man with missing limbs, this man's right arm and left arm were cut off by sharp blades, his left leg seemed to be a little limp, his face covered with weeds like a beard. When Lu Chen and the others walked over, this man seemed to be unaware of what was happening outside, he was just trying to drink water.
There was a broken bowl on the ground, there was some dirty water in it, he knelt on the ground and stretched his neck, like a dog trying to put his face into the broken bowl to drink.
Su Qingjun seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, she suddenly grabbed Lu Chen, her face pale, pointing at the man in the cell, even her voice was slightly trembling as she asked, "He, this man, what did he do wrong, to be treated like this?"
