Lu Chen looked at Old Ma, and Old Ma stared at Lu Chen.
After a long time, the morning light outside the window brightened, and the pitter-patter of the wind and rain sounded incessantly. Lu Chen finally turned his gaze away.
When did you change?
People always change, right?
But, is the you after the change good or bad?
Lu Chen didn't know. He was a bit confused. For many years, he thought that his will was unwavering. He thought about many things, but he never thought that today's scene would happen. After a while, he whispered to Old Ma, "You're right, it's my problem. If it was me ten years ago, White Lotus would have been a dead person by now. "
Old Ma looked at him and thought of what this man had experienced all these years. Suddenly, his heart softened. He sighed and patted Lu Chen's shoulder, saying, "Actually, it's not a big deal. You don't have to worry."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Damn baldy, he doesn't believe me? So he deliberately used this kind of method to test me? "
Old Ma rolled his eyes, saying, "What are you talking about? Do you have a deep friendship with White Lotus? No, I don't think so. If you ask me, even if Lord Zhenjun is worried about you and wants to test you, it's more reliable to find that sleepy and gluttonous Black Dog than to use White Lotus, right? Or, is there a secret between you and her that I don't know? "
Seeing Old Ma looking at him with a strange expression, Lu Chen immediately shook his head and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. My relationship with White Lotus can't be cleaner. You know it from the beginning to the end. There's no secret!"
Old Ma nodded and said thoughtfully, "What you said is somewhat reasonable."
Lu Chen glared at him, stood up, and walked to the window. He opened the window and stretched his body a few times, and his expression gradually calmed down. Although he looked calm on the outside, his heart was in turmoil. There was almost no one in this world who understood Perfected Lord Tianlan better than him. In fact, even he himself did not dare to say that he completely understood his master.
Most of the time, this high and mighty Soul Formation Perfected Cultivator was like a god, mysterious and unapproachable.
"Now that I think about it, there seems to be something strange last night." Lu Chen turned to Old Ma and said, "From the beginning to the end, White Lotus didn't fight back at all. She just stood there the whole time."
Old Ma frowned and said, "What are you trying to say? Are you saying that White Lotus was secretly threatened by someone?"
"I don't know, at least not now." Lu Chen looked at the rain outside the window again. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Probably for a person like him, it is still too difficult to completely trust someone. Over the years, the damn baldy has seen a lot of deception and intrigue. What's more, he is actually the biggest shadow leader in the world. "
Old Ma walked over and looked at Lu Chen's face from the side. He saw that there was a somewhat complicated expression on his face, and at the same time, his voice became a little low.
"What is a shadow? Shadows are born to do things that betray. They can betray all the people and things that can be betrayed for their original goal, and they will do anything to achieve their goal. After seeing this kind of thing too many times, they probably can't easily trust others anymore. "
Old Ma raised a hand and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder. It seemed that he wanted to comfort him, but when the words came to his mouth, no sound came out. In the end, it only turned into a sigh.
"The more outstanding the shadow, the more intense their betrayal, just like me …"
"You are different!" Old Ma immediately interrupted Lu Chen's words and said in a low voice, "Even if outsiders don't know about your achievements, Lord Immortal will definitely remember it. He has always treated you differently from others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted you as his disciple with such great fanfare and announced it to the world. "
Lu Chen nodded, smiled, and said, "You're probably right. But if it were you, even if you view me in a different light, every time you see me, wouldn't you think that this disciple of yours once killed the master who doted on him the most and betrayed the sect that nurtured him with everything it had?"
"Could he be thinking that this disciple of his might be a fickle person?"
Old Ma said with a bitter smile, "Don't say that. Otherwise, no matter what, you won't be standing here. Anyway, believe me, Lord Immortal is still willing to trust you. At most, he just wants to arrange things carefully and test you more. You have to know that the old man has such a huge foundation in this life. If he can't find a completely trustworthy disciple, how can he pass on everything to you? "
Old Ma's palm pressed on his shoulder tightened and he whispered, "Listen to me, Lu Chen. Don't be too anxious. Lord Immortal really doesn't have any bad intentions towards you."
Lu Chen glanced at him, and Old Ma looked at him calmly. After a while, the expression on Lu Chen's face also relaxed. He nodded slowly and then said, "I know."
Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed a lot. However, with his chubby face, he turned around and muttered at the same time, "It's so early in the morning. Only you have so many things to do. By the way, yesterday I also asked about some clues about that matter. In fact … "
"But I still feel a little strange." Lu Chen suddenly said, "Forget about the damn baldy. After hearing what you said just now, I also let it go. But if last night was a test for me, why was it White Lotus?"
Old Ma's expression slightly changed, and he said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "You just said that if he really wanted to see whether I was completely obedient to him, it would be more useful to use Atsu to threaten me than White Lotus. But he just wanted to use White Lotus." Speaking of this, Lu Chen paused and then whispered, "It seems to me that the damn baldy thinks that if I make up my mind to kill White Lotus, I can prove all my innocence, and he will completely trust me in the future."
"But I have nothing to do with White Lotus."
"What secret does this woman, White Lotus, have on earth? Why does the damn baldy think that she is so important to me, even more than all the people around me?"
He slowly raised his head and looked at Old Ma, his eyes full of doubts.
Old Ma also had some doubts on his face, but then he shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like that. I am not a person who knows everything. About White Lotus, in fact, when we were in Kunlun Mountain, I have already helped you investigate once. I have told you everything I know. She is a person from a distant branch of the Bai family. Because of her natural talent, she was accepted as a disciple of Hakushin Jinkun. She has nothing to do with you at all … "
Lu Chen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed. He could not think of a reason. After shaking his head, he temporarily gave up on this confusing mystery. Then, as if he thought of something, he frowned at Old Ma and said, "By the way, you just said that you have found something to tell me?"
