"Old friend?"
"Help him?"
Lu Chen almost instantly grasped the few key and subtle words in Gu Yue's words. It was as if a huge wave had been set off in his heart, but it was soon followed by a sudden sense of danger.
Putting aside whether Perfected Monarch Gu Yue's words about being Perfected Monarch Tian Lan's old friend or not, the last sentence about helping Perfected Monarch Tian Lan was rather cold. It was as if she wanted Perfected Monarch Tian Lan to return to his usual decisive and domineering self, and wanted to help him sever his ties.
Lu Chen secretly swept the surroundings with the corner of his eye. Without any surprise, this place was quiet and desolate. Apart from the two of them, there was probably only the faint smell of blood in the courtyard.
In such a huge underground cavern, was it a place where no one could call for help?
At this moment, Lu Chen even subconsciously thought of an even more malicious thought. Was there some unspeakable deeper meaning behind Perfected Lord Tianlan's insistence that he accompany Perfected Lord Gu Yue down on his behalf?
At this time, Gu Yue had already turned around and faced Lu Chen. Her expression was very calm, and her tone did not change. She said to Lu Chen, "What do you think of what I said just now?"
Lu Chen slightly closed his eyes and suppressed the trace of irritation in his heart. He calmed his heart and smiled at Gu Yue, saying, "Master Gu Yue, you flatter me. Master's kindness towards me is as heavy as a mountain. Everything that I have today is given to me by my benefactor. My love and respect for him are even more so. However, although Master does care for me, I don't think it's to the extent that you're saying. "
He smiled and said, "My master is a man of great talent and strategy. He has single-handedly built up such a huge foundation. If you say that he will become weak and muddle-headed because of someone, please forgive me. I really do not dare to agree with you."
Gu Yue Truelord made a sound of acknowledgement. She didn't seem to be angered by Lu Chen's sarcastic rebuttal. Instead, she nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense."
Lu Chen felt slightly relieved in his heart, and then he said, "Besides that, forgive me for speaking bluntly. With the current status and prestige of my Master and you, even if there are some hidden worries and mistakes, it might be possible for others to tactfully persuade you. But if someone were to overstep their authority and act arbitrarily without informing you, then I'm afraid it would instead truly infuriate you."
Gu Yue pondered for a moment and actually nodded, saying, "That is indeed the case. If I were to put myself in someone else's shoes, I'd be displeased as well if someone treated me like this. "He smiled at Lu Chen and said," I didn't expect you to be so meticulous at such a young age. "
Lu Chen took a step back and said with a respectful expression, "I don't dare. Disciple spoke nonsense and was disrespectful. Please forgive me, Master Gu Yue."
Gu Yue looked at him quietly. After a while, he turned around and walked towards the backyard. At the same time, he said, "Let's go in and take a look."
… …
Seeing that he was no longer bothering his "old friend" and meddling in other people's business, Lu Chen could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, before he could completely relax, he saw Gu Yue walk into the yard. His heart instantly jumped again.
These days were really not for a person to live. Frightening, difficult, wave after wave. Even someone with a strong heart like Lu Chen felt a little overwhelmed at this time.
However, he still had to face it. Lu Chen gritted his teeth and followed with large strides. At the same time, he secretly thought of a countermeasure. He was prepared to first say that he did not know anything and when there was no other way, he would push all the blame onto that damn baldy. In any case, that guy was the main culprit of everything. Saying anything about him was probably not wrong.
Outside the tunnel entrance, True Lord Tian Lan, who was looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, suddenly trembled slightly. He felt that something was wrong.
Once he walked into the yard, the smell of blood in the air became much thicker. What entered his eyes, Lu Chen saw that the ground, walls, and many corners were stained with blood. Even now, there were still a lot of blood stains left, very clearly left there. Even on the ground that had already dried up, there were many black lumps that looked disgusting and terrifying.
Looking around, without much guessing, one could imagine that a lot of blood had flowed here, staining the ground and the surrounding corners red. Then, how many people had died here? Or perhaps there had been some kind of tragic and abnormal massacre here?
Lu Chen asked himself. He realized that if he had not personally experienced the strange scene of White Lotus and that bloody man, he would probably have involuntarily imagined a bloody and tragic massacre. After all, there was too much blood here.
But True Lord Gu Yue did not have such an experience. He came here and saw such a tragic scene. Then, what would he be thinking in his heart?
If he wanted to get to the bottom of this, things would be troublesome.
For a moment, Lu Chen did not know what to do. At the same time, there were some doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, with that damn baldy's intelligence, it was impossible for him to not think of this danger. But why did he let True Lord Gu Yue come down? Of course, True Lord Gu Yue was also a Demigod True Lord. If he really had doubts about this underground cave and wanted to come down no matter what, there was indeed no one who could really stop him.
But now, what exactly would happen?
Lu Chen sneaked a glance at True Lord Gu Yue. He realized that ever since he walked into this bloody courtyard, True Lord Gu Yue had been silent. His gaze slowly swept across everything here. He looked at the ground, the walls, the corners, including the dry well in the courtyard, but he did not say a word.
He just stood there quietly. After a while, he turned and said to Lu Chen, "Let's go."
Left? Just like that?
After True Lord Gu Yue said that, he walked straight out of the courtyard. Lu Chen looked at his back dumbfounded. But he quickly reacted and hurriedly followed. At the same time, his heart once again stirred up waves. He thought of what this True Lord had said about "old friends" before … …
Recently, the entire Sky Dragon Mountain was filled with rumors that Gu Yue and Tian Lan, these two big shots, had a very unpleasant quarrel. But now, it seemed that they really were so-called "old friends"?
If these two Deity Transformation Stage Perfected Lords were secretly colluding with one another, then just how big of a deal were they plotting?
Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart as he followed the Gu Yue True Lord out of the house, and then saw him walking the long way back.
Lu Chen's heart was filled with many questions. But at this moment, he did not dare to ask. Just like that, he followed True Lord Gu Yue out of the cave and returned to the surface from the entrance of the tunnel.
When they came out, countless gazes landed on Gu Yue Perfected Monarch, both in the open and in the dark.
True Lord Gu Yue's expression was indifferent. He looked somewhat disdainful and cold. After a cold snort, he indifferently said, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
With that, he waved his sleeve and his entire body rose into the air. He actually flew directly into the air and then turned into a white rainbow, flying towards the direction of Sky Dragon Mountain at lightning speed.
The surroundings were silent. After a while, a hearty laughter rang out. It was True Lord Tian Lan. He chuckled and said, "Lu Chen, what did I say? There's nothing in the world that can't be said to others. It's just that some people think too much and come to find trouble. Now it's ugly, isn't it?"
With that, he laughed loudly. The surrounding people also laughed along with him.
Only Lu Chen lowered his head. There wasn't much of a smile on his face, but a trace of palpitation flashed across his eyes.
