[Boom!]
Another clap of thunder exploded in the sky. There was no one in front of or behind the great hall. There was only the seemingly endless wind and rain beating against their faces, and further away, there seemed to be a boundless sea of darkness.
Lu Chen followed the mountain path down the mountain, but just as he passed the Fuyunji great hall ahead, he suddenly stopped, looked down at White Lotus in his arms, under the lightning that flashed across the sky, the ice cold raindrops slapped against White Lotus's face, making her face pale like paper, without the slightest trace of blood.
However, amidst this miserable wind and bitter rain, the young girl seemed to have suddenly lost all pretense. She didn't have that elegant and otherworldly temperament, nor did she have that vicious and ruthless appearance. She was like a weak little beast that only had pain and fear left, curling up and nestling in Lu Chen's embrace.
White Lotus's clothes on her chest, there was still blood gushing out incessantly, as if it could not be stopped.
Lu Chen frowned as he swept the surroundings with his gaze, and then he suddenly turned around and flashed towards another direction.
Not long after, that familiar row of houses appeared in his field of vision, silently standing in the raging storm.
Lu Chen carried Bai Lian and sprinted away, sweeping across the long street in the heavy rain. When he arrived in front of one of the houses, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stopped his body. The remaining force of his footsteps suddenly splashed water on the flagstone road like a waterfall, splashing into the air. And Lu Chen did not have the slightest hesitation, exerting force with his feet, his entire body soared into the air, carrying White Lotus over that high wall, flying into that house, landing in front of the bedroom door.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, water splashed everywhere, but his surroundings suddenly became quiet. Perhaps it was because the four towering walls blocked the outside world, or perhaps it was because a chilling aura suddenly filled the air.
Lu Chen did not have the slightest hesitation, directly pushed the door, just that at this moment, in that already dark bedroom, suddenly a light low shout, that door abruptly opened, the miserable wind and rain outside the house instantly rushed into the darkness, but the next moment, together with that darkness, all of the rain and wind, in an instant, were all swept back.
A blazing, bright, and dazzling sword light emerged from the darkness like a bolt of lightning. It was peerlessly swift and fierce, and it carried the momentum of a storm as it pierced towards Lu Chen from the darkness.
Lu Chen took a step back, did not retaliate, did not evade, only whispered urgently, "It's me!"
The sword light shone brightly, breaking through the air, as if to cut through everything, as if to kill all enemies.
Lu Chen's pupils shrank, but he still stood where he was, in a flash, that sword light had already arrived.
And then, abruptly stopped!
The light slowly dispersed, a long sword stretched out from that house, the body of the sword as bright as autumn water, the incomparably sharp sword tip, pointing right at the space between Lu Chen's eyebrows.
Inside and outside the house, the sound of the wind and rain, the cold wind blew past, it was as silent as before.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, lightning flashed, illuminating the dark night for a moment, saw the girl standing behind the door, holding the sword, cold and beautiful, just like the day they first met, in a trance, it seemed that many years had passed.
So imprinted in his heart, he had not forgotten.
… …
The two of them looked at each other, they could clearly see Su Qingjun standing behind the door, her surprised eyes and the complicated emotions that followed, after a while, she still slowly put down the sword in her hand, a little surprised said, "Why is it you?"
Lu Chen did not have time to reminisce with her at this moment, suddenly took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "It's urgent, help me, save someone!"
Only then did Su Qingjun notice that he was carrying White Lotus in his arms, and that his breathing was obviously not right, as well as the wound on his chest that was dyed red with blood, immediately her expression changed, and she cried out involuntarily, "White Lotus? How did she suffer such a serious injury? "
Lu Chen took a deep breath, pushed White Lotus into her arms, and said, "She is an unmarried girl, and the wound is in a private place, it is really not good for me to treat her, otherwise it would be sullying her innocence. The matter is urgent, the only girl I know on this mountain top is you, can you help me? "
Su Qingjun's eyes lit up for no reason, looked at Lu Chen, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "White Lotus, she is also a disciple of our Kunlun, of course I should save her, you leave it to me."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to take the white lotus.
Who knew that when she was holding White Lotus, there was a pause in the middle, both of them were startled, looked down, and found that the already unconscious White Lotus, at some point, had one hand tightly grasped the collar of Lu Chen's chest, tightly not letting go, like a drowning person grasping the last life-saving straw, putting all her hope on it.
Su Qingjun slightly frowned, Lu Chen immediately stretched out his hand, carefully pried off White Lotus's fingers one by one, and then sent her over.
Su Qingjun nodded to him, turned around, and was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Lu Chen.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingjun asked with some puzzlement.
Lu Chen took out a small bag from his bosom, stuffed it into Su Qingjun's hand, and said, "There is a kind of poison on her wound, it will make the blood flow non-stop, and it will not heal. You can apply the powder in this to her wound, it will stop the bleeding."
Su Qingjun was a little surprised, but still took the small bag, then turned around and walked into the house.
…
Lu Chen stood in the same place for a moment, then reached out to close the door, stood at the door, turned around, looked up at the dark sky, and looked at the wind and rain, then let out a long breath.
There was a trace of fatigue on his face, then he casually sat down by the door, leaned against the wall, and bent his legs.
The wind and rain were still very strong, and there was a three-foot eave above his head, but it still could not stop the flying rain from falling on him. But Lu Chen did not seem to care, he just sat quietly outside the house in the wind and rain, quietly staring at the dark world.
The house was lit up, as if a candle had been lit, a dim but warm light shone through the window, a touch of warmth in this dark and austere night.
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced in that direction. He found that the window was not far from him. The light just happened to sweep past his head and fell into this narrow gap. It could not enter the wind and rain, nor could it block the chill, but it was still so fascinating.
There was some movement in the house, it seemed that someone was busy. Lu Chen listened quietly, not saying a word. He sat in this dark corner and waited.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a burst of footsteps behind the door, a moment later, a creak sounded, the door was opened, and Su Qingjun's figure appeared behind the door, then walked out.
Lu Chen looked at her, and her gaze swept across the surroundings before finally landing on Lu Chen, who was sitting on the ground, looking a little disheveled and exhausted.
A halo enveloped Su Qingjun's body, it was the candlelight in the room behind her, looking like she was glowing.
Su Qingjun looked at Lu Chen's appearance, but after a while, she walked over, squatted down beside him, and said: "The bleeding has stopped, although the injury is not light, you should have given her some kind of panacea, the medicinal effect is very strong, so there should be no danger to her life, you can rest assured."
"Okay," Lu Chen was silent for a moment, nodded, and then said to Su Qingjun: "Thank you."
Su Qingjun stared at this man, after a while, said in a low voice: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
