In the dark and humid night, a cold wind blew past. Unbeknownst to him, it started to rain again. The rain hit the eaves and flowed down, gradually forming a transparent wall of water hanging on the eaves.
The water droplets floated down in the dark and dripped on the ground, making a low and sweet sound.
"Sister Su?"
In the originally dark and quiet room, there was suddenly a call. With some caution, it floated over from the bed.
It was White Lotus's voice!
On another bed not far from the other side of the room, Su Qingjun turned over and responded. Then, she seemed a little surprised and said, "This is the first time you called me that, right?"
"Is it?" White Lotus thought for a moment and seemed a little embarrassed. "We weren't familiar before, but now that you saved my life and are older than me, I still have to call you sister."
Su Qingjun smiled in the dark and said, "Although I helped to treat your wounds, the person who really saved you was actually Lu Chen. I can't take this credit."
White Lotus snorted and said, "He stabbed me first. If I still have to be grateful to him, then I can't do it."
Su Qingjun smiled and said, "That makes sense." After a pause, Su Qingjun looked at where White Lotus was and said, "White Lotus, when I heard you talking to Lu Chen a few days ago, I had a question that had been puzzling me. You didn't seem to be controlled by him at that time. Why didn't you dodge at that critical moment? If the injury had been more serious, you would have lost your life. "
White Lotus suddenly became silent. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I wasn't controlled by him, but I was still controlled by others …"
Her words were very vague and soft towards the end. Su Qingjun didn't hear it clearly and asked in surprise, "What?"
White Lotus didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She turned to look at the window not far away and looked at the shadow swaying in the darkness. She heard the pleasant sound of rain outside. She seemed to be startled and then said faintly, "It's raining again."
Su Qingjun looked at her and heard White Lotus's voice floating over like the wind outside. She said, "I wonder if it's raining on Kunlun Mountain now?"
Su Qingjun was startled and then slowly sat up. She said softly, "What's wrong? Do you miss home?"
White Lotus shook her head in the darkness and said sadly, "I don't miss home. I just miss the things on Kunlun Mountain. Sister Su, you've been out for so long. Do you miss home? "
Su Qingjun was silent. After a while, she said, "Of course I still miss home. After all, my parents are still there …"
"But I heard that they seem to have some resentment towards you?" White Lotus said, "When I was still on Kunlun Mountain, I had already heard such rumors."
Su Qingjun was lost in thought. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "They are my parents. I didn't completely live up to their expectations. But that place is still my home."
"You're so good. No matter what, you still have a home that you miss, unlike me …" White Lotus suddenly sneered. After a pause, she said, "My master who died probably practiced that kind of ice and snow martial technique. He practiced it too deeply, and as a result, his temperament became as cold as ice. So I don't feel that he was passionate towards me. But like what you said, we were still master and disciple. Although he died inexplicably, he also caused me a lot of trouble."
Su Qingjun was shocked and said, "Are you saying that Hakushin Jinkun, he … harmed you?"
"I was a person who hid under a big tree. I planned to enjoy the shade, but suddenly the tree fell. Of course I was embarrassed." White Lotus said snappily, "On the contrary, look at Lu Chen. He's so glorious now. Not to mention me, even you, compared to when we were in Kunlun Mountain, it's like heaven and earth."
Although she knew that this kind of thing wasn't a happy thing, but when Su Qingjun heard White Lotus's words for the first time, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. After a while, she stood up and walked to White Lotus's bedside and sat down.
White Lotus turned her head to look at her in the darkness. Even in the darkness, Su Qingjun seemed to be able to see the girl's unusually bright eyes.
"Don't hate Lu Chen too much in your heart." Su Qingjun said softly.
"Why?" White Lotus asked.
Su Qingjun sighed and said, "In the past so many years, he has been a dangerous shadow who licks blood from the tip of a knife. I don't know how many lives he has taken. In other words, I don't know how high his cultivation is now, but his means of killing are definitely not bad. "
She turned her head and stared into White Lotus's eyes, saying in a low voice, "Think about it. If he really wanted to kill you that night, would that knife have missed?"
White Lotus was silent. After a while, she suddenly turned over and faced the wall, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
…
In front of the main hall of Kunlun, Perfected Lord Tianlan had already dismissed the guards who guarded the Kunlun Hall. Then, he and Lu Chen, master and disciple, sat on the ground at the entrance of the main hall casually, with their backs against the tall doorsill behind them. Facing the rain that kept dripping from the eaves, they chatted and drank casually, as if this was a casual and carefree life.
Except for the sound of the wind and rain, there was no other sound. It seemed that only the two of them were left in such a huge hall.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan stared at the boundless dark sky in the distance and did not speak for a long time. That was until Lu Chen's voice rang in his ears as though he wanted to confirm it with him. "So, it's decided then?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded and said, "Let's do it."
"Okay." Lu Chen also looked at the dark night outside. After a while, he suddenly said, "You know, I once called you a lunatic in front of Old Ma."
Perfected Lord Tianlan was stunned, as if he did not expect Lu Chen to suddenly say such a thing. At that moment, he only smiled and did not say anything, obviously not taking Lu Chen's words to heart.
However, there was no smile on Lu Chen's face. It seemed that he was not just bickering with Perfected Lord Tianlan. He said in a low voice, "Back then, I scolded you to vent my anger. In fact, I didn't really mean that. However, is what you want to do now really okay?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan said calmly, "It's okay. If you believe me, help me. If you don't believe me, you can also leave the Immortal City. No one will stop you."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen said, "Actually, I'm also a lunatic. To think that I chose to believe you."
Perfected Lord Tianlan laughed out loud and threw a wine gourd over. Lu Chen caught it and raised his head to take a big gulp. Then, he let out a long breath and sighed. "Awesome!"
As he said that, he turned to Perfected Lord Tianlan and asked in a deep voice, "How much time do we have?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't be sure. It depends on the situation of the Blood Moon."
"Mmm." Lu Chen nodded as if expressing his understanding. Then, he turned around and looked at the water droplets that were dripping down from the top of the hall like a waterfall. After a while, he suddenly said to Perfected Lord Tianlan, "Speaking of which, I've been feeling a little puzzled about something recently."
"What is it?"
Lu Chen said, "It's about you, Master. For so many years, you've always treated the Fiend Cult as your number one target. You've been involved in so many battles and killings, wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, the strange thing is that you don't seem to care about it even though I've brought news that we might be able to capture Elder Gui this time. "
"Isn't that a very strange thing?" Lu Chen turned around and stared at Perfected Lord Tianlan, saying softly, "Isn't that so, Master?"
