What should he say? Should he say that he stabbed a knife into the heart of White Lotus and almost took her life?
Should he say that he didn't mean it and was forced to do it? Or should he say that all of this seemed to be just a dream, a joke that could be laughed off?
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and did not answer Su Qingjun's question. Instead, he asked softly, "Can I go in and see her?"
Su Qingjun hesitated for a moment and nodded. The two of them stood up. Immediately, Lu Chen followed Su Qingjun into the house.
This was the first time that Lu Chen entered Su Qingjun's room. Even when he was on the Kunlun Mountain, although he had been Su Qingjun's nominal disciple and built a thatched hut outside her cave residence, strictly speaking, he had never entered it.
The furnishings in the room were clean and tidy. It seemed that they were all commonly used furniture. It could be seen that Su Qingjun was also a woman who loved cleanliness. However, the bed in the room looked a little messy. It was probably because White Lotus was lying on the bed. It should have been messed up when Su Qingjun was busy saving her.
Lu Chen walked to the bed and saw White Lotus lying there with a pale face. The soft quilt covered her body up to her neck. Her eyes were tightly closed and her delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. It seemed that she still felt a trace of pain in her coma.
Her beautiful hair was a little messy. A few strands of black hair fell from the corner of her forehead and gently fell on her cheek. She looked a little fragile.
Su Qingjun silently walked forward and gently lifted a corner of the quilt. She whispered, "Just now her clothes were stained with a lot of blood and her whole body was wet. It was really impossible to wear it, so I took my own clothes and put it on her first."
Lu Chen glanced over and saw that White Lotus had indeed changed into a set of plain clothes. It looked loose and soft. It was probably the clothes that Su Qingjun usually wore when she slept. At the same time, from his angle, he could also see that at the edge of the clothes on her chest, White Lotus's body was already wrapped with white gauze. Naturally, it was what Su Qingjun had done to treat her.
Lu Chen let out a long breath and turned to Su Qingjun and nodded, "It's really troublesome for you."
Su Qingjun faintly said, "After all, Younger Sister Bai and I are from the same sect. Moreover, in terms of seniority, she is probably my teacher. So it is reasonable for me to save her. Moreover … "She looked down at the wounds on White Lotus's body and then gently covered her with the quilt. She said," White Lotus is after all still a girl. It is indeed inappropriate for a man like you to treat her. "
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's good that you understand me."
But Su Qingjun suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Chen. The emotions in her eyes seemed a little strange.
Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but thump when she looked at him like that. Thinking about it, he didn't seem to have done anything shameful. He was a little stunned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Qingjun stared at him for a moment. For some reason, her cheeks first blushed slightly. Then it returned to normal. She looked at Lu Chen and said, "I thought of something and I don't understand."
Lu Chen said, "What's the matter?"
Su Qingjun glanced at the unconscious White Lotus on the bed and said, "She was injured and unconscious. You adhered to the boundaries between men and women and sent her all the way to me. But that year on the Kunlun mountain, that time when I returned injured late at night, why didn't you do this, but … "
Speaking till the end, her cheeks slightly blushed again and she didn't continue. But Lu Chen already understood what she meant. This time he was a little speechless and didn't know what to say.
But looking at Su Qingjun's unblinking eyes looking at him, it was obvious that she wanted to know the answer. Lu Chen felt a little helpless in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he still sighed and said, "That year's matter, this … actually at that time, when you went out, you more or less violated the curfew of the Kunlun Party. This matter can't be publicized and I also didn't dare to alarm others. And … "
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Su Qingjun nodded slightly. Indeed, when she left the mountain that time, she violated the Kunlun's ban for her family, so it was not suitable to be publicized. But when she heard the last two words "and" and saw that Lu Chen wanted to say something, she couldn't help but ask again, "And what?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and finally said honestly, "And when I was on the Kunlun mountain, I didn't know any other women I was familiar with. The only one I was close to was Yi Tuan. But she lived too far away, distant water could not quench present thirst. Now it's different. You live close, and you are a woman I know … familiar with. Plus, White Lotus is a girl, so I hurried to send her over. It's all thanks to you. "
Looking at Lu Chen's solemn last words, Su Qingjun's heart warmed for no reason. Then, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss. She sighed softly and said faintly, "Anyway, I'm not as good as her. You were worried about her reputation, but you didn't have to worry about mine. When she was injured, you ran to her in the rain and fed her rare elixirs … Oh, that's right, when I was injured, you gave me the elixirs that you wanted from me. They were my own, right? "
Lu Chen was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment. How could something so long ago be brought up again? But these words sounded a little awkward. But when he looked at Su Qingjun's cold and calm face, he felt suffocated again. He could only say softly, "How can she be compared to you, don't think too much."
Su Qingjun glanced at him and said, "She can't be compared to me?"
Lu Chen nodded and sighed, "You're such a smart woman, how can you not understand what I mean?"
The light in Su Qingjun's eyes seemed to flash for a moment, but then she restrained herself. The corners of her mouth slightly pursed, as if she wanted to scold him, but she quickly restrained herself. In the end, she just rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're full of empty words. Who knows which is true and which is false?"
Lu Chen smiled and didn't argue. For so many years as a shadow, he had indeed lived the kind of life that Su Qingjun had just described. Sometimes, even he couldn't tell the difference between true and false, let alone others.
However, Su Qingjun didn't continue on this topic. Instead, after a moment of silence, her expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Lu Chen and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me first, on this Celestial Dragon Mountain, how did White Lotus suffer such a serious injury?"
Lu Chen became silent. Su Qingjun waited for a moment and asked again, "Also, when you brought her here just now, you really didn't turn over her clothes and wound. Then I'm curious, how did you know that her wound was poisoned and caused her to bleed non-stop? You have to know, when I was treating her just now, I couldn't recognize what kind of poison it was. Instead, you even took out an antidote that could detoxify it. "
She stared at Lu Chen with a trace of coldness on her face and said, "Why is that? What is your relationship with the person who injured her?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you're right, the person who injured her, is me."
"Rumble!"
In the dark sky outside the house, there was a sudden clap of thunder. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew open the unlatched door and rushed into the house. The lit candle shook violently a few times and actually went out in an instant.
The room was immediately plunged into darkness, and there were gusts of cold wind. It was also at this time, suddenly, Lu Chen and Su Qingjun almost at the same time, turned their heads to look outside the room.
Outside the open and shaking door, there seemed to be only a vast and boundless darkness in the cold wind and rain.
