There were no more accidents along the way. After daybreak, the group arrived at Immortal City and returned to Mount Tianlong.
Mount Tianlong was where the headquarters of Zhenxianmeng was located. It was a place that had been in operation for hundreds and thousands of years. Naturally, it was the safest place in the world. There was no need to worry about people from the Devil Cult jumping out to kill them.
They walked all the way to the main hall of Kunlun. Fuyunji's people dispersed. The few leaders still had to report to Xue Ying. Su Qingjun and the other three people from Kunlun Party had also completed their task. After a few words of discussion with Lu Chen, they also left.
Before leaving, Lu Chen also deliberately glanced at Su Qingjun. He saw that this woman's expression was gentle. She should be in a good mood.
When they entered the main hall, they brought the remaining relatives and friends of the Chen family to meet Chen He. Naturally, it was a scene of sorrow and joy. This time, they did not save all of the Chen family. In fact, before they arrived, many people had died. However, the silver lining in the misfortune was that Madame Chen and their two children were saved. Then, they were escorted here "safe and sound".
Chen He and his wife and children hugged each other and cried. The scene was touching. Then, he looked at his relatives and friends. He found that a few of his closest relatives had passed away. Among them were his parents. At this time, he was angry and sad. He cried and bowed to the ground.
Lu Chen watched from the side for a while. Then, he quietly left and walked to the main hall of Kunlun. There was already a jar of good wine in his hand. He leaned on the high doorsill and looked at the distant sky, drinking in big mouthfuls.
Old Ma appeared outside the main hall. He walked all the way to the front. When he came near, he first glanced at the wine jar in Lu Chen's hand. Seeing that it was already half empty, he could not help but frown. He said to Lu Chen, "I say, you have been drinking more and more recently. Too much wine is bad for your body."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "What kind of body do we cultivators have? Why would we be afraid of wine harming our body? Only ordinary mortals would be bothered by this. It's not a big deal. "
Old Ma thought about it and found it to be true. Over the years, he had rarely heard of a cultivator's body being damaged because of alcohol addiction. However, he still said, "Even so, getting drunk can indeed confuse one's mind, and it is somewhat detrimental to cultivation. You shouldn't indulge in it."
Lu Chen laughed and patted Old Ma's shoulder. "We've been drinking for more than ten years since we were in Qingshuitang Village. When did anything happen? Don't worry. "
"Yes." Old Ma nodded and stopped talking about it. Then, he turned to look at the depths of the hall and said, "How's it going inside?"
Lu Chen hugged the wine jar and sat down on the threshold. After a while, he said, "They're probably still comforting those who just escaped from the gates of hell."
Old Ma sighed and also sat down beside Lu Chen. He looked up at the sky in the distance and suddenly said after a while, "For people in our line of work, it's probably better not to have family."
Lu Chen took a sip of wine and didn't respond.
Old Ma didn't care and just said lightly, "Without family and friends, there's nothing to worry about. They won't give others a handle on them, and they won't be overcautious when doing things. Otherwise, even the toughest man will be played by others."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're right. But is the kind of life you're talking about still a human life?"
Old Ma was silent for a while and said, "Whether it's a human life or not, haven't you lived it for decades?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a while and then laughed. He stood up and stretched, and suddenly stretched his foot to kick Old Ma.
Old Ma smiled and stepped aside. Lu Chen shook his head. His face was calm, but his eyes were deep and no one could see any emotion in them.
Old Ma stood with him for a while and then said, "I'll go back and have a look. Now that I've brought his family here, it's time to start doing something big."
Lu Chen nodded, but when Old Ma took a few steps, he suddenly called out to him, "Old Ma."
"Yes?" Old Ma looked back at him.
Lu Chen looked at him and said in a very calm tone, "When you were talking about living alone, you only said 'you' to me, and not 'we' as you often said when you were suffering in the village a few years ago." He looked at Old Ma with a faint smile and said, "Do you mean that you're different from me? Do you have any relatives or family?"
Old Ma's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and scolded, "Bullsh * t! I've been a bachelor all my life, and it's all because of you. "After saying that, he even spat and then walked away.
Lu Chen smiled as he watched Old Ma's receding figure. After Old Ma's figure gradually disappeared, the smile on Lu Chen's face slowly disappeared. It became a little cold, with a hint of bitterness.
He turned around and looked at the sky outside the main hall. The bright sky sprinkled on his body, and it seemed to make Lu Chen feel a little uncomfortable, and he slightly narrowed his eyes. He took a step back and stood behind the thick door of the main hall. There was a shadow on the other side, blocking the light, and his expression seemed to be a little relaxed.
Then, he thought for a while, picked up the wine jar, and took a big gulp of wine. Then, he muttered to himself, "The person who is hated by gods and devils, I'm talking about you …"
…
If one stayed in the dark for too long, he would not be used to the light in the day.
Or perhaps, he had long been used to the loneliness in the shadow, if he had never seen the warmth in the light.
Like a lonely child who craved that warmth too much, he would subconsciously ask for it, to pursue it, and then forget the shadow behind him. He would unknowingly devour others.
When dusk fell again, Chen He, who looked a little tired, followed Old Ma out. They walked all the way to the front of the Kunlun main hall and found that Lu Chen did not seem to have the elegance of a Perfected Lord's successor at the moment. Instead, he sat directly on the ground behind the door, in the somewhat dim shadow, quietly sitting.
Beside him, there were two empty wine jars.
Chen He was stunned for a moment, and Old Ma frowned, a little worried. However, the next moment, when Lu Chen looked up at them, his unusually bright and sharp eyes still made their hearts tremble.
After a moment, Chen He was the first to react. He took a step forward, bowed to Lu Chen, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for saving my family, allowing them to escape from disaster. I dare not express my gratitude, but if there is any need in the future, I, Chen He, will definitely serve you with my life."
Lu Chen stood up, held him up, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed again. "Speaking of which, I also feel a little guilty. There are still a few relatives and friends in your residence that I did not manage to save. I am sorry."
Chen He's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head. "Young Master, don't worry. This is God's will. I am already satisfied to be able to save my wife and my two children. As for the rest, "he gritted his teeth and said hatefully," I will repay you in the future. "
Life was like turning the pages of a book, and the changes were too fast.
Lu Chen lightly muttered in his heart, then asked, "How are your wife and the two young masters now?"
Chen He said, "They have been on the road for a whole night, and they are too frightened, so they are now asleep. However, my wife has mentioned Young Master to me several times before, only praising Young Master's righteousness. You saved my family from a life and death crisis, and you are the Chen family's great benefactor. She also urged me to serve Young Master and avenge my family. "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your wife is really a reasonable person."
