Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at Lu Chen for a while before saying calmly, "I didn't give such an order and I didn't mean to do so recently."
His words were a little strange and there seemed to be some repetition in their meaning. However, Lu Chen understood and nodded silently.
Given Perfected Lord Tianlan's current power and status, he could naturally end someone's life with a single word. However, if it was inconvenient for him to kill someone, there were many ways to do it for him. As long as the people around him knew what he meant, countless people would do it for him.
Perfected Lord Tianlan clearly said that he didn't want to kill White Lotus, at least not recently. This was very important and crucial. However, although Lu Chen was a little less worried because of this, he frowned again. If it wasn't done by Perfected Lord Tianlan, where could White Lotus have gone?
Lu Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he felt Perfected Lord Tianlan's gaze on him. After a moment of hesitation, he calmly told him the entire process of him looking for White Lotus. In the end, he said softly, "I feel that this matter is a little strange, so I came to tell you."
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at him and suddenly smiled, as if he didn't care about White Lotus's fate at all. He merely sized up Lu Chen and said with a smile, "Are you suspecting me? Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry because of this? "
Lu Chen shook his head. "I'm not suspecting you. I'm just here to confirm with you." He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you really had feelings for her, she would definitely die. At the same time, she wouldn't have left so many loose ends."
Perfected Lord Tianlan laughed. "You're quite confident in me."
Lu Chen said, "After all, you're the one who nurtured me. There's probably no one in the world who knows how powerful you are more than me."
Perfected Lord Tianlan said, "Seems like you've improved your other skills while you weren't by my side all these years. You're really good at flattery. You're not embarrassed at all. You're better than me when I was young."
Lu Chen lowered his head slightly and said, "You flatter me. When I was in the Evil Cult, I learned it myself in order to survive."
Perfected Lord Tianlan's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Wait a moment."
In front of Lu Chen, True Lord Tianlan stood up and called his subordinate who was on duty outside the hall, ordering him to call Xue Ying from Fuyunji over.
Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the main hall, only to see waves of blood surging in the night sky, dark red light blotting out the sky. Although it was late at night, it didn't seem much different from daytime.
…
Of course, this was not a good time to meet and chat. If an ordinary person were to disturb a friend at this time, the other person would probably turn hostile and scold them for having a hole in their brain. However, when Perfected Lord Tianlan gave this order, his expression was indifferent, as if everything was natural. Perhaps in his eyes, this world, the entire world should revolve around him.
He had never cared about, or rather, considered the feelings and thoughts of most of the people around him. He only did what he wanted to do. However, the most terrifying thing was that after so many years, the achievements he had, the strength he possessed, his prestige, and his power had made all of this a matter of course.
Lu Chen lowered his eyes slightly, his face expressionless. However, he was secretly thinking about how Xue Ying would feel if she, who was lying in a warm bed, was suddenly woken up and forced to rush here.
Would she secretly scold this damned baldy for having a hole in his brain?
Lu Chen was suddenly very curious about this.
Nowadays, Zhenxianmeng was becoming more and more bloated, and the efficiency of many halls was deteriorating. They were dragging their feet, which was depressing. However, this did not include Fuyunji.
For many years, they had been fighting bloody battles with the Devil Cult, and under the strong management of True Lord Tian Lan, who was different from ordinary people, the Fuyun Bureau still had a capable atmosphere. As the hall master of the most powerful hall in Zhenxianmeng, Xue Ying really set an example. Not long after Perfected Lord Tianlan's order was passed down, she had already rushed to the main hall of Kunlun in no more than a quarter of an hour.
Someone had already instructed that if Xue Ying came, there was no need to inform her and that she could come in directly. Therefore, Xue Ying hurried all the way, looking a little anxious. It seemed that she was a little worried that there might be something urgent here with Perfected Lord Tianlan.
However, when she walked into the main hall of Kunlun and saw that Lu Chen was also sitting there, a strange expression appeared on her face.
For a very long time in the past, she was often the only one who could accompany Perfected Lord Tianlan to do things and preach in the middle of the night.
Xue Ying took a deep breath, but a smile appeared on her face. It was as if she had suddenly completely forgotten the unpleasantness from a few days ago. She first nodded at Lu Chen in greeting, then faced Perfected Lord Tianlan and bowed solemnly. She said softly, "Milord, are you looking for me?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan nodded, but did not say anything. He only pointed at Lu Chen.
Seeing Xue Ying's somewhat surprised gaze turn towards him, Lu Chen had no choice but to tell her about White Lotus again. At the same time, he was also secretly observing Xue Ying's expression. After all, Xue Ying's position on Celestial Dragon Mountain was special. She had been in a delicate situation recently, but she still had such a powerful force in her hands. If she really wanted to do something, even Lu Chen was not confident that he could completely stop this woman.
Perhaps only Perfected Lord Tianlan could completely suppress her.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Ying was first surprised, then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. At the same time, Perfected Lord Tianlan slowly opened his mouth and called out to Xue Ying.
"Xue Ying."
"Your subordinate is here." Xue Ying bowed respectfully to Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Perfected Lord Tianlan said, "I asked you to secretly watch over White Lotus, right?"
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Xue Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I have already arranged for people to watch over her. When she did something unusual a few days ago, we stopped her. However, ever since you agreed to let her go to the Western Continent's Kunlun Mountain, she seemed to be much more well-behaved when she returned to the Immortal City. Furthermore, you only told me not to let her leave the Immortal City casually. You did not forbid her from leaving the Immortal City on normal days, so I have probably slacked off a little. They will only appear near the borders of the Immortal City. At other times, they are probably careless. "
Her expression was solemn as she said to Perfected Lord Tianlan, "This matter is my dereliction of duty. Please give me a few days' time. I will make the arrangements now and definitely find out the whereabouts of White Lotus and report it to you."
Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "We can talk about other things later. First, go and ask where White Lotus was last seen and who she has been in contact with recently. Investigate properly."
Xue Ying nodded and said, "Yes." She then stood up and quickly left the hall.
Sitting at the side, Lu Chen, who had not said a word throughout the entire process, frowned and said, "From what you said just now, could it be that you suspect someone?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan harrumphed and said coldly with a murderous expression, "In this immortal city, the only ones who dare to go against me and play tricks in the dark are those four to five old Soul Formation cultivators. It's good that this matter has come. I was planning to have a 'good chat' with them anyway. "
Lu Chen looked at his expression and did not say anything. However, he only felt a slight chill around him.
The night outside the hall seemed to be getting colder and colder. The wind was also getting stronger.
