He Yi didn't seem to notice Lu Chen and Old Ma coming from afar. He turned into the back of the row of houses expressionlessly and soon disappeared.
Lu Chen glanced at Old Ma. Old Ma thought for a moment and said, "He should also be living here. Among the group of people that the Kunlun Party transferred here last time, Fuyunji has basically gathered and settled down. But I can't remember which room he lives in exactly now. "
Lu Chen nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
In Kunlun Sect, He Yi was a proud son of heaven with boundless glory, an outstanding talent among the young generation of disciples, but after coming to the Immortal City, because the True Immortal Alliance had gathered the most outstanding talents in the world, not to mention others, there were five to six Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Cultivators who stood at the peak of the human cultivation world, and there were even more Nascent Soul Stage Perfected Cultivators. Who would pay special attention to one of the countless Jindan Stage cultivators?
In a place like the Immortal City where all the power and precious resources in the world were gathered, to a certain extent, the importance of the cultivation of an ordinary cultivator was much less than in other places. The people here were more used to looking at a person's background and identity to judge his strength.
This was a kind of alienation, but also a kind of reality.
For example, Lu Chen's cultivation and realm were obscure and hard to understand. On the surface, he might not be stronger than He Yi, but in the Immortal City, his reputation was undoubtedly a hundred times better than He Yi's.
Whether it was Lu Chen or Old Ma, they both had a lot of troubles at the moment, and He Yi had never done anything out of line or eye-catching since he came to the Immortal City, so they didn't care about him.
Because of the incident with He Gang, Lu Chen naturally had a kind of vigilance and alienation towards He Yi, but now he didn't have any thoughts of targeting this person.
The past was over, and the secrets were covered in dust. No one would ever mention the past again.
Lu Chen shook his head slightly, tossing those memories aside. He then said to Old Ma in a low voice, "Just now in Fuyunji, you didn't show any dissatisfaction in front of Blood Warbler, did you?"
Old Ma was startled. His expression turned solemn, and he recalled for a while with some seriousness. Then, he shook his head and said, "No, from the beginning to the end, I had a smile on my face. There was absolutely no anger or annoyance on my face."
Lu Chen glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said, "So you are unhappy in your heart?"
Old Ma rolled his eyes and said, "If it were you, would you still be happy?"
"Of course not!" Lu Chen admitted to this point very straightforwardly. Then, his expression darkened slightly as he said, "Blood Warbler called Chen He over in front of us and purposely brought up this matter. Could it be that she's trying to show off to us? Recently, she has been getting more and more out of hand. "
Old Ma frowned. His first reaction was not to reply, but to look around first. Seeing that there was no one around them, only the two of them, he let out a sigh of relief. Then, he said in a low voice, "Even if you want to complain, let's find a safe place with no one to curse, okay?"
"There is no one around here," Lu Chen said calmly. "Otherwise, Atsu will find out."
"Atsu?" Old Ma was shocked, and said, "Didn't it just run to …"
Before he finished speaking, Old Ma saw a dog's head poking out from the corner of a house in front of them. It glanced at them, and then yawned lazily. It was Atsu.
Old Ma swallowed the words that he didn't want to say. He looked at Ah-Tu and clicked his tongue. "I've watched this dog grow up. He has changed so much. I don't know what he ate, but he seems to have become a demon." Old Ma was speechless.
Lu Chen ignored Old Ma's praise for Atsu and just waved at Atsu. Old Ma saw this from the side, and subconsciously thought that Atsu would probably be like those legendary assassins who appeared and disappeared without a trace with a "whoosh", and then suddenly jump out at a critical moment to deal a fatal blow.
In the end, the black dog lay on the ground and buried its head between its two front paws. It looked like it was sunbathing and getting ready to sleep.
Lu Chen's movement froze, and he cursed. It sounded like he was exasperated at Old Ma's failure to meet his expectations, but other than that, he did not express anything else. He pulled Old Ma and continued to walk forward, but he still lowered his voice.
"What are you thinking about?"
Old Ma was quite straightforward and said, "Right now, the entire Floating Clouds Agency knows that I'm one of your people. However, True Monarch has prevented me from leaving, yet you've agreed to Blood Warbler's request. Isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "The damn baldy has always been strange, and his actions are always unexpected. It is hard to say."
After a pause, Lu Chen said, "However, I have been in the limelight recently, and Xue Ying has been in charge of Fuyunji for many years. She has always been known as the number one person under Tianlan. The damn baldy probably did this because he weighed the pros and cons. "
Old Ma sighed and said, "Is he sacrificing a small fry like me to comfort the other side?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense about sacrifice. I didn't ask you to die."
Old Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, those big shots outside don't know about our little business. Otherwise, if they send someone to kill him, how are you going to defend yourself in front of Perfected Immortal?"
Lu Chen also laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I will just say that you did it." He patted Old Ma's shoulder and said with a smile, "Anyway, you are already dissatisfied. You have the motive, and we don't want to talk about the means. The murderer is you."
"Bah!" Old Ma spat angrily, "You are the most useless boss I have ever worked for."
Lu Chen laughed.
…
He Yi sat in his room. The door was closed, the window was closed, and even the curtains were drawn, so the room was very dark and quiet.
It was probably because of this that the hearty laughter from outside could be heard from afar, causing him to raise his head and look in the direction of the door.
His face was still young and handsome. He was still high-spirited and had achievements that many people envied and yearned for. He dreamed that one day he could become the second Lu Chen, and then he would have no regrets in his life.
But in He Yi's heart, there was a lot of regret and hatred.
In fact, sometimes he also had some doubts. His achievements were obviously good enough, but he was always not satisfied.
He lowered his head. The dim light fell on his face, only illuminating half of his cheeks. He seemed to be sitting in the boundary between light and darkness.
He seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be hesitating. He was like a child standing on the edge of a cliff. In front of him was the most beautiful flower in the world, but below his feet was a bottomless abyss. Should he take this step?
He slowly pulled out his long sword. The sword light reflected in his eyes, like a ghost in the dark.
He didn't know how long he sat like this. It was quiet around him until the sky outside the room darkened and his room was completely plunged into darkness.
Late at night.
He Yi slowly raised his head, stood up with his sword, and then opened the door and walked out.
