"Yes."
After an unknown period of time, Perfected Lord Tianlan opened his mouth. His tone sounded extremely calm and gentle, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. "You're the first orphan that I've taken in and nurtured. Over the years, I've nurtured a few more people. My method of nurturing them is similar to yours."
Lu Chen took a deep breath and looked at Perfected Lord Tianlan. "I've never heard you mention these things before, including the people in Fuyunji, Old Ma and Xue Ying. You didn't mention them either."
"They don't know either," Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently.
Lu Chen was rather surprised. "Why?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan raised his head and looked at the distant sky outside the hall. "They're all dead. What's there to mention? Other than me, no one else knows about this. You're the second person to know about this. "
"They're all dead?" Lu Chen was stunned.
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded. His expression was rather indifferent as he said, "Life and death are just a thin line for those who work as shadows. There's only one in ten thousand people who can be as outstanding as you. Be it in terms of cultivation talent or temperament, you have to be the best and most unyielding. Otherwise, you'll either not be able to overcome the difficulties that you have to endure in cultivation, or you'll die a violent death due to carelessness in hiding. There are too many such cases. "
At the end of his sentence, his expression finally revealed a hint of regret as he shook his head slightly.
The corners of Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly. He seemed to still be in disbelief. "Other than me, everyone else is dead?"
"They're all dead."
Lu Chen fell silent. After a while, he said, "Do you still remember their names?"
"I don't remember. Dead people don't need names." Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at this disciple of his calmly. "You're not a newbie. After being a shadow for so long, you should understand these things. Even if it was you, if you had unfortunately exposed yourself and died in the Evil Sect, today, no one would mention you again. "
Lu Chen was silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I understand. It's just that when I occasionally think about these things, I still feel that it's a little unfair."
Perfected Lord Tianlan turned around and walked into the depths of the hall. At the same time, his voice rang out. "How can there be so much true fairness in this world? You've seen those who were born with good lives, but you've also seen those who had worse luck than you. They were all orphans, but how many of them died on the streets back then?"
"So don't think too much. Now that you've made a name for yourself, just enjoy your life. Don't think about those unhappy things in the past."
As the voice gradually weakened, Perfected Lord Tianlan's tall figure walked into the shadows in the depths of the hall, seemingly about to become one with the darkness. Lu Chen looked at his back and suddenly shouted, "What about that matter? What should we do next?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan's figure disappeared. Only his voice floated over. "Just do as you think."
"Oh." Lu Chen responded indifferently.
…
Lu Chen's act of forcibly taking away a wanted criminal from Fuyunji's prison had attracted a lot of criticism, and it had also caused undercurrents to surge in Zhenxianmeng. However, these disturbances and dissatisfactions, both overt and covert, ceased after people found out that Lu Chen had actually thrown the criminal into the Kunlun palace hall.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Perfected Lord Tianlan was the most famous Perfected Lord of the Divine Transformation Realm in Zhenxianmeng. Why would people offend such a great god? In short, if there was any dissatisfaction in their hearts, they would hide it secretly. This matter would wait and see. Who told him to have a good master?
Correspondingly, Lu Chen soon decided not to live in the house at the foot of the mountain at Xi Ma Bridge, and directly moved into the Kunlun palace hall. His decisiveness was simply a case of sailing with the wind. He did not care about the issue of face at all. Even Old Ma was amazed by his decisiveness.
As for the Black Dog at the foot of the mountain, Old Ma might have found a large cart to transport it over. Anyway, in the Kunlun palace hall, Perfected Lord Tianlan and his disciple were the most powerful. Even if Perfected Tiehu personally issued the no-dog order, it could not control this place.
The Kunlun palace hall was naturally much larger than the house at the foot of the mountain. Atsu seemed very satisfied with this place. It was very excited to come here and strolled around. After Lu Chen warned it not to leave the scope of the Kunlun palace hall, he took Old Ma to the place where Chen He was imprisoned.
"Where is White Lotus?" Old Ma, who was walking on the road, asked Lu Chen, "Is she still living with Su Qingjun?"
"Yes, she is staying there and not leaving. She probably found that although Su Qingjun is cold, she is actually more reliable than the two of us."
"What are you talking about? I am different from you!" Old Ma complained, then said, "Now there is a lot of talk outside, guessing what Chen He said to you. What are you going to do next?"
"Wait to catch him." They arrived at the quiet room in front. Lu Chen walked over with Old Ma, pushed the door open, and walked in. At first glance, Old Ma saw Chen He, who was lying on the ground, tied up like a dumpling and unable to move at all. He was staring at Lu Chen with an angry and vicious gaze. But even his mouth was stuffed with something, so he could not make a sound.
Lu Chen walked over, and Old Ma hurriedly closed the door of the quiet room behind him. Then he frowned and looked at Chen He, and said with some doubt, "Didn't he agree to cooperate with you? Why do you still look like you have a blood feud?"
Lu Chen squatted down in front of Chen He, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Probably, except for you, everyone in the world knows that you have turned to me and my master, Lord Tianlan." After a pause, he deliberately added, "Of course, this also includes your Devil Cult companions."
Chen He's body twisted and wriggled, looking like he was about to go mad with anger. Old Ma saw this and was suddenly shocked, and said, "I say, could it be you …"
"I was talking nonsense to the outside." Lu Chen admitted what he had done in an unusually straightforward manner, and said, "Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to move him from the prison to here? But Chen He, don't blame me, I am actually saving your life. Otherwise, now that the outside world is talking about you betraying your master for glory, who knows when you will suddenly die in that prison. "
Old Ma looked at him with some disbelief. Fuyunji prison had been famous for many years, but such a thing had never happened before.
Lu Chen pretended not to see, and seemed to have no intention of interrogating Chen He. He only said indifferently, "How is it, have you thought it through? You are also a smart person, the current situation is that I have splashed dirty water on you, and I will continue to do so in the future, more and more, until your whole body is dirty and wet, and no one in the Devil Cult will believe you anymore. "
"You can't go back." Lu Chen said to him, "We have all stayed in the Devil Cult for more than ten years, and know how those people treat traitors, and with this matter, even if you have a whole body full of mouths, you can't clear your name. No matter what, the people in the Devil Cult will not open their hearts to a suspected traitor, right?"
"You see, you have no way out."
Chen He made a weak but shrill hissing sound, his eyes were red, as if he was about to go crazy. Lu Chen did not care about this, and said calmly, "You see, compared to other people who only know how to use brute force to interrogate, I am the one who truly knows what is the most important in the heart of a believer of the Saint Cult."
"Those people that you are not afraid of death to protect, actually hate you to the core, and want to grind your bones and scatter your ashes, if you still have a family … En, do you?" Lu Chen looked down at him, and said calmly, "If you do, what will happen to them, we all know in our hearts, right?"
He reached over and gently removed the cloth from Chen He's mouth. Chen He stared at Lu Chen, and after a while, he hissed in a low voice,
"Shameless!"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, looked at him for a while, and said, "So, you really do have a family …"
