Before entering the house, Lu Chen turned around and glanced at Old Ma, who was standing behind him. Atsu was also standing beside Old Ma. However, this black dog was no longer as lazy and sleepy as before. Instead, its eyes were sharp and fierce. It stared at the house with a murderous look, as if it wanted to eat someone alive.
He didn't know if it was stimulated by the strong smell of blood that drifted in the wind.
Old Ma also looked at Lu Chen. His expression was solemn, but there was a hint of worry and anxiety in the depths of his eyes.
Lu Chen shook his head slightly. Old Ma was startled for a moment, but then nodded in acknowledgment. After this short silent exchange, Lu Chen turned around and said to Xue Ying, "Let's go."
Xue Ying did not say anything and walked into the house first. Lu Chen followed half a step behind her. However, just as they were about to enter the door, Lu Chen suddenly heard a few low roars from Atsu behind him.
Lu Chen's body paused. He turned around to look, and his expression changed slightly.
He saw that Old Ma and Atsu were still standing in the same place. However, there were now four or five people around them. There was originally no one around them, but now there were four or five people around them. They seemed to be very loose, and there was no obvious hostility. However, it was true that they had surrounded them in the middle.
Old Ma's expression did not change, as if he did not feel anything. However, Atsu did not hold back. They growled fiercely at the few Fuyunji people who were still a distance away from them.
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. His expression was already somewhat gloomy. He turned around to look at Xue Ying and said, "Hall Master Xue, what is the meaning of this?"
Xue Ying's expression was calm, as if she did not see anything out of the ordinary. She only said softly, "They do not have any ill intentions. It is just that this is an emergency. There must be some suspicious people. Let's just watch for now. There will be no problems." As she said this, she smiled slightly and her expression softened. In this disgusting and bloody night, she was like a beautiful flower that was pleasing to the eye, pleasing to the eye.
She stretched out her hand and gestured for them to enter. She calmly smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look. It is fine outside."
Lu Chen looked at this beautiful and famous woman. He stood motionless with an indifferent expression. It was as if he had suddenly become deaf and did not hear what Xue Ying had just said.
Of course, the two of them were not the only ones present. Other than Old Ma, Atsu and a few people near them, Fuyunji's elite troops had already tightly surrounded this house. There were even more people at the main entrance.
Although no one was too close to the two leaders, Xue Ying and Lu Chen, their every move and word was observed by the surrounding people.
Therefore, at that moment, when Lu Chen suddenly disregarded Xue Ying's words rudely and rudely, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly seemed to become cold. The originally somewhat tense surroundings immediately looked over.
On the stone steps, Lu Chen indifferently looked at Xue Ying. He did not take a step, did not move, and did not have any intention of speaking.
Sometimes, not speaking actually had another meaning. Perhaps it was to express dissatisfaction.
Xue Ying's expression also changed slightly. It seemed that she did not expect Lu Chen to disregard her words in front of so many people at this critical moment. Moreover, he was clearly looking at her with some provocation.
This situation was clearly a little awkward. Xue Ying felt that she was in a difficult position.
She waited for a while, then slowly retracted her extended hand. She then said indifferently, "What is it? Junior Lu, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I dare not. Hallmaster Xue's reputation is illustrious and her words carry enormous weight. She can do whatever she wants. She can say that whoever she wants is a suspect. She can detain and surround whoever she wants. How could I dare to be dissatisfied with such power? "
He said these words very clearly and loudly. In front of the main entrance of the house, who knew how many people in the open and in the dark heard these words clearly at the same time. For a moment, there was silence all around.
This was probably the first time that the two great figures under Supreme Tian Lan, who had always lived in harmony, suddenly erupted into a conflict.
… …
In the past many years, Xue Ying had been the leader of Fuyunji. She was loyal and devoted to Supreme Tian Lan, and she was able to lead Fuyunji. She led this powerful and vicious force to fight against the Devil Cult for many years. Until now, she had almost completely defeated the Devil Cult and made great achievements.
Before Lu Chen appeared, or more accurately, before Supreme Tian Lan suddenly held a disciple acceptance ceremony and accepted Lu Chen as his only disciple, Xue Ying was fully deserving of being Supreme Tian Lan's number one confidant.
After that disciple acceptance ceremony, who knew how many people on Mount Celestial Dragon and in Zhenxianmeng were watching Fuyunji and Xue Ying. They were full of interest to see how this woman would react. After all, in terms of status, the person who was most likely to inherit Supreme Tian Lan's great legacy had suddenly changed from her to the man called Lu Chen.
This was a bitter fruit, and it was almost impossible to swallow!
Perhaps a conflict was inevitable, but to everyone's surprise, Xue Ying seemed to have no objections, or rather, she accepted everything without any change in expression.
During the disciple acceptance ceremony, she followed behind Supreme Tian Lan with a smile, doing everything she was supposed to do. On normal days, she and Lu Chen coordinated and adapted to each other, and finally destroyed the last of the Devil Cult's forces in the Immortal City.
No one could not help but praise her, and they could not help but sigh at how unfathomable this woman's thoughts were.
Until today, she seemed to have finally begun to lose her patience. Facing Lu Chen's somewhat unexpected provocation, she seemed to no longer have the good attitude she had in the past.
"Junior Brother Lu." Xue Ying's voice also carried a bit of coldness. She said indifferently, "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just doing things according to the rules. Now that something has happened in this house, the investigation naturally has to first investigate the suspect and motive. What's wrong with that? Is it worth it for you to humiliate me like this? "
She looked at Lu Chen, and straightened her back and waist. Just like how she had walked through this dangerous and dangerous world of men for so many years, she was proud and fearless. She said in a clear voice, "Looks like, it's not that I've done anything wrong, but that you already don't like me, and are somewhat dissatisfied with me, right?"
The surrounding Fuyunji people mostly stood expressionlessly, their heads lowered, or looking into some unknown dark place … If it was possible, there probably weren't many among them who were willing to stand here and listen to these two people start to show off their abilities.
And that woman, at this moment, looked like a sword that was slowly being unsheathed. Cold light flashed, and the sharpness gradually revealed, causing people's hearts to palpitate.
However, when Lu Chen looked over, he didn't seem to feel anything. In front of Xue Ying's imposing manner, he also didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. He stared fixedly at Xue Ying. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said something that didn't make sense. He said, "Have you acknowledged him as your master?"
Xue Ying was startled, and then subconsciously shook her head. Before she could speak, she saw Lu Chen standing there, his gaze suddenly sharp, like a knife that wanted to cut people's hearts, to prick the hidden wounds, to flip over the bloody places and show them to the public.
He opened his mouth coldly, and each word was like a flying dagger as he said, "Then what gives you the right to call me Junior Brother Lu?"
"Do you have the right?"
He said calmly and coldly.
In the night, everyone, including Old Ma, was stunned at that moment. Then, they subconsciously held their breath, leaving only a deathly silence.
