Perfected Lord Tianlan shook his head and said, "You're just like a drunkard. Everyone can see how you're drinking when you're free. Why do you need him to tell me?"
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, it's just that I've been fond of drinking recently. It won't cause any trouble, and it won't harm my body. Of course, I won't become addicted to alcohol. In all these years, there haven't been any cultivators who ruined their cultivation because of alcohol, right?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan stared at him for a moment and said, "That's true. However, things like alcohol and women are ultimately not beneficial to cultivation. Excessive drinking is also harmful. Even if others see it and talk about it behind your back, it's not appropriate for you. You should drink less."
Lu Chen snorted and said, "Just now, you were acting like you didn't care about anything in the world. Why is it that when it comes to me, you suddenly have to care about how other people look at you?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "You're not a Soul Formation Perfected Lord, so you don't have to think about these things."
Lu Chen was speechless. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine, fine. You're good."
…
"I think there's a saying that's very suitable for the current situation. Do you know what it is?" Old Ma asked Lu Chen with a smile. It seemed like another day had passed. It was dusk. They were walking on the mountainside of Sky Dragon Mountain. The sun was setting and the sky was filled with the afterglow. It looked very beautiful.
"Catch a turtle in a jar?" Lu Chen said without turning his head.
Old Ma was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean. You're smart."
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "But we still haven't caught that old turtle."
Old Ma smiled optimistically and said, "That's fine. I didn't have much hope for it at first. However, ever since I heard that Elder Ghost refused to leave Immortal City, it's only a matter of time."
Lu Chen nodded and did not object. In the past, they couldn't do anything to these Evil Sect spies and Ghost Elders who were hiding in the Immortal City. That was because they were hiding too deep and their whereabouts were unpredictable. Even the experienced Fuyunji couldn't catch them. But now, firstly, there was Chen He, the traitor who almost knew countless of the Evil Sect's secrets, and secondly, they knew that Elder Ghost could not leave the immortal city for some unknown reason, so the situation was completely different.
He did not even urge Chen He, because the current situation was that Fuyunji was gradually tightening the encirclement, pulling out the Evil Faction's hidden nails one by one, and Elder Ghost this old tortoise's hiding place and leeway would eventually become smaller and smaller, until there was no way to escape.
For thousands of years, this was probably the most embarrassing and most critical moment for the Evil Cult.
Life and death, there was only a thin line.
Old Ma glanced at Lu Chen from the side, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not long ago, this man seemed to have secretly discussed with him whether to secretly leave this Immortal City, and then wander the world to live a carefree life … Alright, that was a nice way to put it, it was more likely to be to drag out an ignoble existence.
But now, the situation was completely different. He'd ascended to the heavens in a single step, and shockingly, he'd become a powerful and influential figure in the True Immortal Alliance. Everyone raised their eyebrows, and his name shook the world in a single day. His future was bright, and the changes in his circumstances were so great that it truly caused others to feel as if they were dreaming.
Looking at his current high-spirited look, who could still think of the loneliness when he was frustrated in the past?
"Feeling good right?" Old Ma couldn't help but still asked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, didn't understand and said, "What?"
Old Ma asked, "Becoming the True Monarch's successor, now holding great power, is this life comfortable, is your mood good?"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "It's okay, a little better than a few days ago."
"Nonsense." Old Ma scolded with a smile, but in his heart, he was also happy for him, it was just that in addition to the joy, there was also a faint sense of loss in the depths of his heart. For so many years, Lu Chen had practically always been together with him. They had gone through tough times, seen blades and swords, and walked through the gates of hell. But in the end, the fate of the two of them was as different as heaven and earth.
Why was this?
Were people always different from each other?
But where was the source of this unfairness?
He thought indifferently, then said goodbye to Lu Chen, turned around and left.
…
Lu Chen's identity and status were now different from before, that incomparably noble Kunlun Palace, except for the supreme True Monarch Tianlan, he now had the qualifications to live in that incomparably noble Kunlun Palace. But Old Ma didn't have that qualification, he was just a person who had lurked in the Jianghu for many years, accompanying by Lu Chen's side as a messenger.
So in the end, he could only live outside.
For so many years, if Lu Chen was the shadow, then what was Old Ma?
Old Ma thought, I'm probably the shadow of the shadow?
More indifferent than the shadow, and less sense of existence than the shadow. The shadow might have the opportunity to leave a black shadow on a sunny day, but from beginning to end, he was only silent, silent.
For a person like him, even if he was killed in a legend, it would only be a few strokes of the brush, like a ripple on the surface of the water. There would be almost no movement, not to mention the stormy waves that would be set off by those big shots.
Silent in life and silent in death?
Is this the life you want, is this the destiny you are destined to live?
Old Ma stopped in his tracks and glanced back.
The tall mountain peak was like a giant, silently looking down at him, perhaps with a bit of contempt. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the majestic shadow shrouded everything, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Old Ma thought silently for a long time, finally sighed softly, turned around and walked into the gradually falling night.
… …
"Is there anyone in this world, at this time, who will still be dead set on following the Devil Sect, or even join the Devil Sect?" Almost at the same time, in that room on Tianlong Mountain, White Lotus sat on the bed and asked Su Qingjun this question.
Su Qingjun laughed in spite of herself and said, "Of course there won't be, even if there is, it would be a madman, or a fool."
White Lotus shrugged her shoulders and did not say anything, but Su Qingjun suddenly made a sound of surprise and looked up and down at this young girl.
White Lotus felt a little strange being looked at by her, said, "Everything is fine, why are you suddenly looking at me like this?"
Su Qingjun smiled and said, "Probably because you have been with Lu Chen for a long time, I feel that some of your actions are very similar to him."
White Lotus was startled for a moment, then sneered and said, "Nonsense, how can I be like him?"
Su Qingjun also felt that it was not possible, laughed, walked to White Lotus and sat down, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her soft hair.
This action was intimate and gentle, White Lotus did not have any intention to resist or avoid, it seemed that during this period of time, the relationship between these two girls had become very close.
After a while, Su Qingjun softly asked, "Your injury is considered to be almost healed, why are you still not willing to let me tell Lu Chen?"
White Lotus suddenly felt nervous, looked at her and said, "Don't tell me you have already told him?"
Su Qingjun shook her head and said, "Not yet, you little girl, two days ago you even threatened me, saying that if I say that your injury is healed, you will immediately stab yourself a few more times and make your injury worse. You have already said such words, how can I dare to say it? "
White Lotus forced a smile, looking a little embarrassed, then sighed and said, "I really have something difficult to say, can you help me hide it for a few more days?"
Su Qingjun nodded, then immediately frowned and said, "What are you afraid of, don't tell me Lu Chen is really behind my back, threatening you in any way, or …"
White Lotus immediately shook her head and said, "Oh, that is not … uh …" Suddenly, White Lotus's words were abruptly cut off, the pair of eyes that had been calm and clean for a long time, lit up a bit. She looked at Su Qingjun's beautiful face, suddenly revealing a trace of a strange smile.
Su Qingjun was surprised and said, "What's wrong?"
White Lotus was silent for a moment, then slightly smiled and said softly, "If I say, Lu Chen really has bad intentions towards me, and even has the guts to do it, would you believe me?"
"What!" Su Qingjun lost her voice, her complexion changed, and suddenly stood up.
