Lu Chen was choked by White Lotus's blunt words. After shaking his head, he asked White Lotus, "Why didn't you dodge last night? I didn't really use my full strength. You could've …"
White Lotus interrupted him and asked, "Then why did you want to kill me?"
Lu Chen wanted to say something but hesitated. He couldn't really tell the two women in this room that it was Supreme Tianlan's order. It was up to him whether he believed it or not. Once he said it, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. White Lotus had already fallen into it, but Su Qingjun obviously had nothing to do with these things. Lu Chen didn't want to add this kind of trouble to Su Qingjun at all.
At this moment, he even regretted bringing White Lotus to Su Qingjun last night.
However, it was useless to say this now. Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then stared at White Lotus's weak and pale face lying on the bed, saying, "I know it's a little strange to say this now, but I really don't want to kill you."
"Let's talk about it later," White Lotus turned her head away and said, "Anyway, you can't answer my question, so I don't need to say anything more to you."
Lu Chen sighed. At this point, there was basically no way to continue the conversation.
Speaking of which, no matter how good-tempered one was, it was unlikely that one would be amiable to a person who had just stabbed him not long ago, right?
Lu Chen softened his voice and said, "Last night, I brought you here with the intention of keeping a distance between men and women. I couldn't treat your injuries, and I was afraid that it would ruin your reputation, so I came to find Qingjun for help. Now that your injuries have almost stabilized, why don't I take you to another place to stay? "
Su Qingjun, who had been silent since entering the door, had a trace of surprise on her face at this moment. She glanced at Lu Chen.
White Lotus, who was in front, said without hesitation, "I'm not going. I'm staying here and not going anywhere."
Lu Chen frowned and said, "This is Qing Jun's house. If we continue to stay here, it will be bad if we bring trouble to her."
White Lotus snorted and said, "I don't trust you now."
Lu Chen wanted to persuade her again, but at this moment, Su Qingjun, who was standing at the side, walked over and said to him softly, "Forget it. If she wants to stay here, then let her stay. It's not a big deal."
Lu Chen raised his head and was about to speak when White Lotus smiled at Su Qingjun and said, "That's great. Thank you, Sister Su."
Su Qingjun smiled and shook her head, saying, "We are all from the same sect, such a small matter is not worth mentioning. Also, you are Hakushin Jinkun's last disciple. In terms of seniority, you are a generation older than me. I don't deserve to be called 'sister' by you. "
Bai Lian chuckled and said, "My master passed away a long time ago. What use do I have for this useless seniority? Sister Su, you are my great benefactor last night. It is only right for me to call you sister. "
Su Qingjun's heart shook for no reason. She subconsciously looked to the side and saw that Lu Chen's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
… …
Walking out of the house and all the way to the door, Lu Chen stopped and turned to face Su Qingjun. Su Qingjun also stopped beside him and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes.
Lu Chen's face showed a bit of apology and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry. I didn't think that she would actually stay here today and not leave. If I had known, I wouldn't have troubled you last night. Now that things have become like this …"
Su Qingjun shook her head and said, "I just said, it's nothing. You don't need to take it to heart." After a pause, she said again, "Besides, she is staying here with me. I don't see any big trouble. Is there something you haven't told me?"
Lu Chen was speechless. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's not big trouble. Don't worry."
"En." Su Qingjun responded indifferently. She then said goodbye to him and turned to go back.
"Hey, Qingjun." Lu Chen called out from behind her.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingjun turned back to look.
She only heard Lu Chen say with a sincere expression, "Recently, when are you free to stay at home? I want to come over every day to see White Lotus. When her injuries are slightly better, I will immediately take her away and not let her bother you anymore. Is that okay?"
Su Qingjun was slightly surprised and looked at Lu Chen. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can come. I don't have anything important to do right now. Most of the time, I stay at home. You can come whenever you want. "
"Okay." Lu Chen agreed with a smile and then turned to leave.
Su Qingjun stared at his back for a while until Lu Chen was far away. Only then did she close the door and return to the bedroom.
Just two or three steps into the room, Su Qingjun heard White Lotus complaining, "This guy is too hypocritical. He likes to pretend all day long. He even said he would take me away every day to see my injuries. My injuries are nothing. He has never insisted on accompanying me. If I were to say that he might have come to see you, some people would believe it! "
Su Qingjun was startled for a moment. Then, she shook her head. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. There seemed to be a flash of light in the depths of her eyes.
…
Although he encountered this inexplicable and depressing strange thing last night, Lu Chen did not directly rush to Kunlun Temple to settle the score with the damn baldy. After leaving Su Qingjun's residence, he acted as if nothing had happened. He did things as usual and went directly to the prison in Fuyunji, ready to continue tracking the whereabouts of the remnants of the Devil Cult.
Except for Old Ma, he never told anyone about what happened in front of Kunlun Temple that night, so no one suspected him.
He began to live the same life day after day. Early in the morning, he would go to Su Qingjun's place to visit White Lotus and chat with Su Qingjun. Then, he would go to Kunlun Temple or Fuyunji prison, all to deal with the Devil Cult. It could be said that now, many people could see that Perfected Lord Tianlan had gradually placed the heavy responsibility of dealing with the Devil Cult on Lu Chen's shoulders.
At the same time, a strange rumor began to spread in the Fuyun Department's prison. It was said that the esteemed Supreme's disciple was only interested in hunting down the Ghost Elder. In order to achieve this goal, only one person could speak up, and that person was Chen He.
After Lu Chen brought Chen He to the quiet room and locked him up alone, no one was allowed to go in to see him. And Lu Chen himself would go to Chen He alone for two to four hours every day. As for what they did and what they said in between, no one knew.
Many prison guards who had interrogated Chen He sneered at Lu Chen's actions. Of course, this was said behind his back. No matter what he did on the surface, he still had to give Perfected Lord Tianlan face, right?
Even they could not pry open Chen He's mouth. What right did Lu Chen, a newcomer, have to open his mouth?
If he really got the information out so easily, wouldn't it seem that the prison guards were all idiots?
But about five days later, another rumor suddenly spread from the prison, shocking everyone.
It seemed that Chen He had opened his mouth and told Lu Chen all the secrets and information he knew.
For a moment, undercurrents were surging inside and outside of Fuyunji. Everyone in the prison was even more shocked.
