'There are truly too many smart people in this world.' Lu Chen thought to himself as he watched True Monarch Golden Dragon's departing figure. This was especially true in this immortal city, which was known as the largest city in the world, where the best talents in the world gathered. Those who could climb up from Zhenxianmeng were all elites. Those who were not as experienced in the ways of the world would have long been swept away, buried, silent, or died a silent death somewhere.
Mount Heavenly Dragon was vast and majestic, but the highest peak was still extremely narrow, small to the point that only a few people could stand. Moreover, the path from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain was already packed with people. There were many precipitous cliffs along the way, and every time one stuck one's head out to look into the deep valley, one would see piles of white bones below, and they were all traces left behind by those who had failed.
In terms of the intensity of the struggle for power and profit, Zhenxianmeng was even worse than the Devil Cult.
However, it was in such a fierce and cruel vanity fair that True Immortal Golden Dragon, who had stood at the top for many years, suddenly retreated. Although Lu Chen could feel from the negotiation just now that this veteran Perfected God of Transformation seemed to have some other intentions at the beginning, if True Immortal Tianlan did not respond well, or if True Immortal Golden Dragon sensed some clues that he could take advantage of, perhaps True Immortal Golden Dragon would change his face and join the battle ferociously.
But now it seemed that all this was just wishful thinking. After a seemingly indifferent chat with True Immortal Golden Dragon, True Immortal Golden Dragon suddenly made such a big decision and retreated without any hesitation. He even asked for a promise from True Immortal Tianlan.
Lu Chen didn't know whether True Immortal Golden Dragon had sensed some kind of danger, or if he had suddenly been seized by a sudden impulse to look at the surging sea of blood. In short, this big shot had suddenly appeared and left overnight, taking with him a powerful force and leaving behind an empty space that was enough to make people drool with greed.
"What should we do?" Lu Chen asked True Immortal Tianlan beside him.
True Immortal Tianlan asked in return, "What should we do?"
Lu Chen said, "After True Immortal Golden Dragon left, he left behind so many properties and profits. Should we rob them?"
"Snatch!" Without any hesitation, Perfected Lord Tian Lan said in a righteous manner, "There's no reason for us not to rob. The reason why the old man came to inform us was to show him some respect and let him leave unscathed. As for the meat he left behind, it's just our intention. If I don't snatch it, that old man will laugh at me. "
"Oh." Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's right." Then he paused and said, "How about this? You've been very busy recently, so let me help you with this kind of hard work. How about it?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan was stunned for a moment and suddenly sized up Lu Chen. After a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, "You're enlightened, lad!"
"It's all because of your guidance. I'm a slow learner and I've disappointed you," Lu Chen said calmly.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan laughed out loud and clapped. "Approved. Let me see what you're capable of. Don't lose to those trash from the other halls."
Lu Chen said, "Of course not. However, even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice. Since you've asked me to do this, shouldn't you at least transfer some of the men from the Floating Clouds Agency to me?"
Perfected Lord Tian Lan squinted his eyes slightly but the smile was still on his face. He even clicked his tongue and nodded. "I thought you were going to show me some unparalleled divine power or some uncanny scheme to complete this great undertaking on your own. Why are you still asking me for men in the end? "
Lu Chen said, "I'm not an immortal. Anyway, as long as you give me men and those old Soul Formation cultivators don't show up, I'll definitely settle this matter for you."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan nodded and pondered for a moment. It seemed that he didn't care much about Lu Chen's request. He said, "With me sitting here, if I don't show up, I don't think Tie Hu, Guang Bo, and those other trash will dare to come out and fight for you. So, it's probably up to you juniors to rely on your own abilities. Later, I'll give you an order to get a batch of elites from Fuyunji to follow you … "
Lu Chen said straightforwardly, "Don't go back after you follow me."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan looked at him with a faint smile. After a moment of silence, he said, "Isn't your table manners too ugly?"
Lu Chen snorted and said, "In the past, I was too concerned about table manners and was polite in everything. I always thought that there was still a long way to go, so I had to leave some face for now. Unfortunately, they didn't appreciate it. Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid. From the beginning, when you took me in as your disciple, you probably didn't want someone who was tactful and timid, right? "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan first shook his head, then nodded and said, "Tactful and worldly-wise isn't a bad thing. In life, if you blindly advance bravely, you'll only hurt yourself and others. But you're someone who's going to do great things in the future, so you still need to have the courage and the nature of a tiger and wolf. " He patted Lu Chen's shoulder with a somewhat gratified look in his eyes. "Fortunately, you've finally thought it through."
…
When Perfected Lord Tian Lan turned around and walked into the depths of the hall, Lu Chen suddenly said to his back, "Xue Ying should still be loyal to you."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan's footsteps paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around. He only asked calmly, "Why do you suddenly say that?"
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I remember that recently, you and Xue Ying seemed to be at odds with each other. Why are you speaking up for her today?"
Lu Chen said, "These are two separate matters. I just want to say that I'll naturally do what I have to do. But doing this is equivalent to dividing Xue Ying's authority. Will she have any reaction? It's fine if she hates me, but if she's dissatisfied with you, have you thought it through? "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan fell silent. After a while, he finally turned around again and looked at Lu Chen with a deep gaze. He said, "Why does it sound like you're trying to sow discord?"
"A little." Lu Chen actually admitted it in an unusually frank manner. From his expression, he didn't seem to mind at all. He said, "But you can't deny that what I said is the truth. Xue Ying has been with you for more than 20 years and is your closest confidant. I didn't think that I would become a fool in the end. "
Perfected Lord Tian Lan frowned and looked at Lu Chen. "What are you trying to say?"
Lu Chen met his gaze and walked up to him. "Are you suspicious of her and are purposely trying to reduce her authority?"
His voice wasn't too loud, but his words were still very clear.
The hall was silent for a while. Then, Perfected Lord Tian Lan smiled with a somewhat emotional expression. "Even Xue Ying doesn't dare to speak to me like that …"
Lu Chen said, "So, you took me in as your disciple."
Perfected Lord Tian Lan couldn't help but laugh. The atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed. He looked at Lu Chen and turned to leave with a smile. He didn't reply to Lu Chen's question.
It was just that after a while, a low voice came from the direction of Perfected Lord Tian Lan's figure. "I heard that in the past ten years, there have been many new people in Fuyunji who only know Hallmaster Xue but not Perfected Lord Tian Lan."
Lu Chen stood in the empty hall and silently lowered his head. After a long time, his lonely body trembled slightly.
