Lu Chen and Xue Ying actually did not make a move until the very end. At the end of the day, the two of them were just using their mouths and not their fists. They could still leave some leeway if they argued and ridiculed each other too much, but if they really fought without caring about anything else, the situation would be completely out of control.
The two of them would no longer have a way out. It could even be said that if they fought, they would not leave any leeway for Supreme Lord Tian Lan, who had yet to show himself.
If it really came to that, Supreme Lord Tian Lan could only choose between the two of them and completely give up on the other.
The word 'give up' here basically meant that one would never be able to make a comeback. To put it simply, it was probably the word 'death'.
Lu Chen was a smart person. He could acutely sense that Xue Ying seemed to be intentionally using this sudden incident to attack the prestige and influence of his side. Although it was obscure, there was a hint of sharpness in it. Therefore, he made a judgment in an instant and directly exposed the conflict between the two of them in an attempt to provoke Xue Ying.
Xue Ying was also a smart person. She had been arrogant for so many years in power. Apart from the few Divine Transformation True Lords in Zhenxianmeng, when had she ever lowered her head to anyone? But this time, she actually managed to forcefully endure it until the very end.
In the end, the two of them did not cross that line.
The footsteps gradually faded away. It seemed like Lu Chen had already brought Old Ma and Atsu into the house. However, Xue Ying was still standing at the main entrance. It had been many years since anyone had dared to reprimand and ridicule her like this. This was quite a loss of face.
She looked around and swept her gaze across those people. At this time, even more people had gathered. Most of them were from Fuyunji, while some were from Supreme Lord Tian Lan's faction. For example, there were also quite a few from the Kunlun Party. They could all be considered as her own people.
However, the more people there were, the more intense the burning sensation on his face seemed to be. Other than that, so many people had seen this scene. Although no one dared to look her in the eye at this moment, and most people looked away or lowered their eyes when her eyes swept across, Xue Ying knew clearly that as long as the sun rose, the entire Celestial Dragon Mountain, the entire Zhenxianmeng, would probably know what had happened here tonight.
It was impossible to keep this information a secret. Someone would definitely leak it out, and it was very likely that more than one person would.
There were no secrets in Zhenxianmeng.
She suddenly felt a little tired, and also a little lost. When she swept her gaze across the crowd just now, she clearly saw that in the eyes of these Fuyunji subordinates who were usually loyal to her, there were shock, doubt, anger, sympathy, and all sorts of other emotions. However, there was only one thing that she had secretly hoped for in the depths of her heart.
Yes, these elite troops who would normally risk their lives because of a word or order from her, in tonight's conflict, almost all of them had unanimously chosen to stay out of it. Not a single person stood up for her, shouted for her, or attacked her in anger because of her humiliation.
Perhaps if something like that really happened, she would berate and stop them, but she did not.
From that moment on, Xue Ying understood one thing. Even though she had worked hard for so many years, even though she had given everything she had to Fuyunji, Fuyunji did not belong to her.
Fuyunji would forever belong to the high and mighty True Lord Tian Lan.
Because of this, when she and Lu Chen had a fierce conflict, although she was still the leader of Fuyunji, no one in Fuyunji stood up to support her. Everyone watched from the sidelines because they knew that what Lu Chen had said was not wrong.
Lu Chen had the status of Master and Disciple, but Xue Ying did not.
Indeed, Xue Ying did not have the right to call him that. In other words, everyone present was a smart person. No one would have guessed that after True Lord Tian Lan passed away, there would only be one person who would inherit this magnificent foundation.
No one stood up to support her. In that instant, Xue Ying felt as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She silently looked up at the sky. The night was dark, and a trace of pain flashed through her eyes.
Why was this? Decades of kindness and loyalty still could not be exchanged for that person's pity?
In what way could she not compare to Lu Chen?
People said that True Lord Tian Lan was omnipotent and omniscient. If this was true, then why hadn't he shown up until now?
Was he trying to make something clear or hint at something?
Xue Ying slowly turned around and walked into the house with some difficulty.
It was hard to imagine that not long ago, she was still in high spirits and full of ambition, ready to show off her skills. But now, she seemed to have suddenly fallen into a predicament.
Had she underestimated Lu Chen, or had she misjudged Tianlan?
…
Behind the crowd, He Yi stared at the beautiful woman in front of the gate and frowned slightly. A trace of sympathy seemed to flash through his eyes. He then shook his head gently, sighed, and looked away.
This night seemed to be especially long. Even now, it was still dark, and there was no sign of dawn.
…
The smell of blood kept drifting from the front, nauseating and disgusting. Lu Chen and Old Ma both frowned. The two of them were not good people, and they had seen some very tragic things. But no matter what, this kind of thing was never pleasant.
It was very peaceful along the way. The people of Fuyunji had already completely controlled this place, but almost no one spoke. Only the faint cries of pain in the distance seemed to emit a desolate atmosphere.
The road, the walls, and even the flower corridors and other places were very clean. The Asura hell, the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, had not appeared yet. But this did not make Lu Chen and Old Ma feel any more relaxed.
There was no one on the road, but the atmosphere was still so strong. Then, the situation in the place where something really happened could be imagined.
Seeing that there was no one nearby, Old Ma suddenly walked two steps faster and came to Lu Chen's side, walking side by side.
Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at him with a gloomy face. Old Ma stared at him. After a while, he finally could not help but grab his hand. The two of them stopped and stood still.
Old Ma lowered his voice and said bitterly, "This has nothing to do with you, right?"
Lu Chen looked at him silently and said after a moment, "Do you think it is possible for me to do such a thing?"
Old Ma gritted his teeth and said, "I believe you did not do it, but we both know in our hearts that as long as you harden your heart, maybe you will do it."
Lu Chen snorted and said, "I just did it to save you. Don't you know that?"
"I know." Old Ma said flatly, "I am very grateful and gratified, but I want you to tell me that you did not do it for revenge."
Lu Chen looked at him quietly. After a while, he nodded and said calmly, "I did not do it."
Old Ma suddenly felt relieved and let out a long sigh. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "That's good, that's good. It's not far ahead, let's go and have a look … "As he said, his face looked a bit bitter and sympathetic. He whispered," Listening to that voice, Chen He seems to be going crazy. I don't know … what happened? "
Lu Chen glanced at him and said nothing. He just walked forward.
In the smell of blood, they walked to the bedroom in the backyard. Then they saw Chen He, who had just greeted them with a smile outside the Tingyu Building not long ago. That man, fell to the ground in the courtyard and looked in the direction of a bedroom. His whole body was twitching and trembling, crying and wailing, as if he had suddenly broken down.
Standing around the courtyard were a dozen or so members of the Floating Clouds Agency. Every single one of them had an ugly expression on their faces.
Lu Chen and Old Ma's eyes immediately fell on the bedroom door that was half-closed. At the same time, footsteps sounded again. It was Xue Ying, with a cold face, who had also come here.
They looked at the bedroom together. Then, they could sense a strong smell of blood surging out from it.
Lu Chen stood where he was for a moment and then walked over. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked to the door of the bedroom alone.
Then, he gently pushed open the half-closed door and glanced into the room.
Old Ma looked at him from behind and could vaguely feel that at that moment, Lu Chen's body seemed to stiffen. After a while, Lu Chen slowly took two steps back and turned around. This time, his gaze fell on Chen He, who was lying on the ground.
Everyone in the courtyard, including Xue Ying, looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression. But Lu Chen turned a blind eye to these gazes from the outside. He walked to Chen He's side. Chen He seemed to have no feelings for him at all and was only wailing with a hoarse voice.
Lu Chen stretched out his palm and patted his shoulder. After a while, he said first, "Restrain your grief and accept your fate."
After a while, he opened his mouth again and said, "This matter will not end like this. We will definitely give you an explanation."
When he said this last sentence, his voice was a little louder. Almost everyone in the courtyard heard it.
