There was no way to reason with a lunatic.
There was a sense of powerlessness in Lu Chen's heart, and he had a deeper understanding of this truth. But very quickly, he discovered that he actually had a little bit of confidence in this madman's crazy plan, and he was even curious about what this crazy baldy would do next.
"One is marked by the company one keeps. Will a person who gets close to a baldy also go crazy?"
Lu Chen composed himself and scolded himself in his heart. Sitting next to him, Supreme Tianlan seemed to have thought of something and said to Lu Chen, "By the way, when you went to the Heavenly Law Hall to find the old man Tiehu and told him about the leaf, what was his reaction?"
Lu Chen's originally drifting thoughts were pulled back by these words. He thought for a moment and recalled the situation at that time. He opened his mouth and said, "After True Lord Tiehu heard what I said, his expression was obviously shocked at that time. However, he quickly regained his composure and revealed a disdainful expression. He didn't say much to me and finally nodded his head and said that he understood."
Supreme Tianlan thought for a while and nodded. "That's enough."
Lu Chen didn't understand him and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"
Supreme Tianlan waved his broad palm in front of him, and several of his fingers seemed to be unconsciously flexing and stretching. He glanced at Lu Chen with some complicated emotions in his eyes. It was neither anger nor joy, but a little... perplexity.
Yes, emotions such as confusion and hesitation were very rare for a person like Perfected Lord Tianlan, but he still revealed them at this moment. Lu Chen also noticed this, and he was a little puzzled for a moment because this didn't seem like the person he knew. Or rather, Lu Chen himself had rarely seen such emotions from this damn baldy in his past interactions with him.
However, Supreme Tianlan didn't hesitate for long. He seemed to have made a decision very quickly. He looked at Lu Chen with a smile and began to explain to him.
The moment Supreme Tianlan opened his mouth, Lu Chen suddenly understood something. This person could have ignored everyone in the world, but now he was willing to patiently explain his feelings to him.
It seemed that he was really willing to treat himself as one of his own. There was no more estrangement or suspicion between them. To outsiders, they were master and disciple who were as close as father and son, but in fact, they could feel that there was still a distance between them, just like a river or a ditch between them.
That ditch and the river were actually not wide and could be easily crossed. However, the two men always stood on his side and did not take the initiative to take the step. It was a very subtle and complicated emotion that involved so many years of ups and downs, and also related to the most basic bit of trust between them.
Until this moment, Lu Chen suddenly felt that Supreme Tianlan seemed to have suddenly decided not to wait and was willing to take the initiative to accept him.
What made him suddenly decide to give up all his worries and really trust him?
Lu Chen thought of the blow he struck his head in Su Qingjun's room...
...
"What Tie Hu said, at least he didn't deny that Ye is now in his hands," Supreme Tianlan said lightly. Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "It's enough to know this. In the future, we'll think of a way to snatch that thing from him."
Snatch something from the hands of a Divine Transformation Realm Perfected Cultivator!
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and tried to get used to this way of speaking. Then, he frowned and asked, "From what you said, it seems that the fragments of the divine tree of the Devil Cult are very important to you?"
Supreme Tianlan seemed to have suddenly established a firm trust in Lu Chen. He nodded and said, "That's right. Although these items are evil, they are the only treasures in the world that possess the legendary power of the gods. They are of great use to me."
Lu Chen looked a little solemn. It seemed that he felt complicated and uneasy about these few Devil Cult items. He raised his hand as if he wanted to touch something, but he quickly put it down when it was halfway to his chest. He frowned and said to Supreme Tianlan in a low voice, "I don't know what you want to do, but these items belong to the Devil Cult after all. It may be okay to keep them secretly, but if you take them out and use them, I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism."
Supreme Tianlan looked calm and said, "It's okay."
Seeing his determined expression, Lu Chen didn't try to persuade him anymore. However, his expression was still solemn as if he was under a lot of pressure. After a while, he asked Perfected Lord Tianlan, "One branch, two leaves, and one seed. Do you need to get all four pieces of the divine tree?"
Supreme Tianlan hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's not it. Of course, it's best to have all four for the greatest effect. However, if you have at least two leaves, it should be barely enough." He paused for a moment before adding, "Out of these four fragments, the seed has the strongest spiritual energy and is much stronger than the other three, so if I only have one seed, I will be able to use it. Otherwise, I will need at least two leaves."
Lu Chen fell silent. After a while, he let out a breath of turbid air and said softly, "But you only know that there's a leaf in the iron kettle now, right?"
"No!" Supreme Tianlan suddenly sneered and said with a solemn expression, "I have a second one!"
Lu Chen's body shuddered and his expression changed starkly as he raised his head and looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan.
…
Atsu, who was in the courtyard, suddenly raised its head and looked in the direction of the top of Sky Dragon Mountain. It seemed to have sensed something at that moment and looked over with a hint of worry.
But perhaps it was because the feeling was still fleeting, or perhaps it was because the distance was too far that even Ah-Tu wasn't too sure. So after a while, Ah-Tu quietly laid back on the ground again.
This was the old house at the Horse Washing Bridge in the White Tiger District of the Immortal City. The house on the mountain collapsed and Old Ma was entrusted by Lu Chen to look for White Lotus. He found the girl in the rubble and realized that she was still alive.
The atmosphere on the mountain was a bit weird, and the identity of White Lotus became more and more awkward. It was obvious that Supreme Tianlan carried Lu Chen out of that house and then the house collapsed, but he did not care about White Lotus at all.
This bald Supreme's attitude was very clear. If Lu Chen, who was on the back of Supreme Tianlan, had not told Old Ma in public, Old Ma suspected that he might not have been able to carry White Lotus down the mountain safely.
But even so, Old Ma felt that there might be many eyes staring at them outside the house at this moment.
"Women are really troublesome..." Old Ma looked at the beautiful girl lying on the bed in the house and sighed with emotion. Although he did not know whether this White Lotus had made a mistake or touched the bottom line of Supreme Tianlan, it should not be a secret that Supreme Tianlan did not like this person, or perhaps he would prefer her to be dead.
Why couldn't Lu Chen understand this?
Old Ma shook his head and was ready to leave. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly glanced at White Lotus out of the corner of his eye and saw a faint green light suddenly flashing.
Old Ma was stunned for a moment. He took a step forward and found a strange green twig shaped chain around White Lotus' neck. He did not know when it had slipped out, but it seemed to be stimulated by something. The small twig was shining brightly, as if something was coming back to life.
