There was the sound of even breathing in the darkness. Being immersed in a dream in the quiet night was also a kind of unremarkable but in fact very beautiful happiness. However, some people were destined not to want this kind of dream. Even in the dead of night, she was like a vigilant kitten, carefully on guard. Once there was the slightest movement, she would immediately wake up.
White Lotus was this kind of girl.
She quietly sat up in the darkness and turned her head to look out the window. The night was quiet and deep like the sea. There seemed to be nothing but darkness, but it also seemed that behind the dark deep sea, there were countless shadows and ghosts, staring at this place in the middle of the night.
White Lotus gently frowned and then turned her head. She heard the steady and quiet breathing of Su Qingjun in the same room.
She was still in a dream, quietly and gently sleeping. Although she had encountered those heart-wrenching and painful things, perhaps in the depths of her heart, there was still light.
She did not carry too many secrets. Her heart did not have that kind of pressure that could make people go crazy. She lived in her own time, tasting the joys and sorrows of her own life.
She slept very quietly and very peacefully.
White Lotus quietly looked at her, a trace of envy flashing in her eyes. Then she gently got off the bed, quietly opened the door and walked out.
…
White Lotus walked to the road outside the door. In the quiet night, there was no light in the surrounding houses. Only a few stars in the night sky shone a little light on the world.
Bai Lian looked around, then looked in the direction of the Kunlun Hall. In the deep darkness of the night, a tall figure could be vaguely seen standing in the depths of the shadows, like a huge tree that could support the heavens and the earth in the darkness.
White Lotus's body trembled and a trace of fear appeared in her eyes. In that instant, she seemed to have an impulse to turn around and run. But in the end, she still gathered her courage and slowly walked towards the darkness.
The mysterious shadow seemed to be guiding this young girl in front. Her elegant and refined but slightly pale face was particularly eye-catching in the night. The darkness clustered around her, like evil spirits cheering and grinning, entangled, dancing and lingering.
The young girl walked further and further away, gradually leaving the house and walked to an unknown hidden place. There was a forest around her, but through the gaps, she could still see the majestic Kunlun Temple. It was probably somewhere next to the Kunlun Temple.
When the shadow suddenly stopped moving, the forest in the dark night suddenly quietened down.
The insects and small animals that should have been under the grass and trees suddenly seemed to be suppressed by some power and no longer made any sound.
White Lotus trembled even more violently. Perhaps she had never been so afraid of a person in her entire life, including her master, True Lord Bai Chen, who was once renowned throughout the world and had an unfathomable cultivation. In front of her, the shadow seemed to have covered her entire world. She had completely lost control of her life. Life and death, sorrow and joy, were all in the hands of this shadow.
She looked at the shadow, then clenched her teeth and slowly knelt down, bowing her body to express her submission. She did not dare to reveal a trace of hostility and displeasure. With a trembling voice, she said in a low voice, "Martial Uncle …"
…
"Are your injuries healed?" A deep man's voice came from the dark shadow, asking White Lotus.
White Lotus bowed her head and said, "More or less healed."
"I was the one who asked Lu Chen to do this. Do you hate me or him?"
White Lotus's body stiffened on the ground, then she said in a low voice with a trace of determination, "No, I don't hate anyone. I did these things willingly."
The shadow moved, then slowly turned around. Under the faint light, the tall and burly figure of Perfected Lord Tianlan was revealed. Even in such a dark corner, his big bald head seemed to stand out.
This man, who stood at the peak of the entire Human Race, looked at the girl who knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise her head. There was a trace of contempt on his face, but it was unknown whether he was looking down on White Lotus's insincere words or indifferently looking down on all the people in the world.
Perhaps he did not even bother to expose White Lotus's insincere words. He just gently waved his hand and said, "You did well last time. You would rather die than resist. It seems that your heart is still honest."
Bai Lian's head touched the ground of the forest. Feeling the slightly moist and cold soil, she closed her eyes. After a while, she said softly, "Martial Uncle, please do not worry. Bai Lian does not have any other intentions. I only want to be at Martial Uncle's side, to charge and break through the enemy lines for you, and to do my best for your great ambitions. Even if my bones are crushed, I will not regret it."
Perfected Lord Tianlan did not comment. His expression was also calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. It was also impossible to tell whether he believed White Lotus's words. He just silently pondered for a moment, then said, "Not long ago, I asked Lu Chen to secretly leave the Immortal City and sneak back to Kunlun Mountain to do something for me. If you are willing, you can go with him. "
White Lotus's body trembled. She raised her head in astonishment, clearly not understanding the intention of Perfected Lord Tianlan's sudden request.
However, Perfected Lord Tianlan did not intend to explain to her at all. He only said indifferently, "If Lu Chen asks, just say that it's my idea. Follow him along the way and chat with him more, provoke his dissatisfaction towards me. If possible, you can also instigate him to secretly harm me. In short, I don't care how sinister and malicious he is. Just go ahead and do it. "
Bam! White Lotus kowtowed heavily and said resolutely without hesitation, "I don't dare!"
Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced at her and sneered. "Do what I ask you to do."
White Lotus felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She was extremely nervous. She stole a glance at the giant who was as terrifying as a mountain. Then, with a slight tremble, she slowly nodded.
"After you return to the mountain, report to me no matter what happens along the way and any reaction from Lu Chen," Perfected Lord Tianlan said.
White Lotus was silent for a moment before agreeing in a low voice.
Perfected Lord Tianlan did not look at her anymore and turned to leave. However, he stopped very quickly and said, "There's one more thing. You can follow Lu Chen along the way, but you are not allowed to enter the Kunlun Mountain Forbidden Area."
"Kunlun Forbidden Area?" White Lotus was shocked, but she quickly reacted and lowered her head in agreement.
Perfected Lord Tianlan went straight away and did not look back again. Perhaps in his eyes, White Lotus was just a frivolous and insignificant person like a falling leaf.
Bai Lian, on the other hand, maintained her position on the ground and did not move for a long time. After a long while, a sliver of strange joy suddenly flashed across her face in the darkness.
She was an exceptionally smart girl. Even though there was a world of difference between her and that person, she could still clearly feel that this person who was so powerful and almost unparalleled in the world still had a weakness.
He was too powerful, too smart, and could see through the feelings of the world too thoroughly. His treacherous methods were too thorough. Everyone in the world respected and worshipped him. Who didn't?
However, he could no longer easily trust another person.
Even though he was willing, liked, cultivated and chose such a successor, and he wanted to hand over all his properties to him, but …
He could not control his suspicions!
The endless suspicions that he could not completely trust a person.
It was a shadow that he could never get rid of in the darkness. It always entangled and followed behind that tall and burly figure like a venomous snake. From time to time, it revealed its sharp poisonous fangs and dripped transparent but fatal venom.
