Lu Chen looked around, but other than the dim lighting in the spacious hall, he did not find anything out of the ordinary, except for the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
This feeling lingered, and it could not be seen or felt. It was very disturbing. Lu Chen frowned slightly and slowly lowered his head, as if he was deep in thought. He stood still for a long time.
After a while, familiar footsteps suddenly sounded in the hall. A moment later, a burly figure appeared in the hall of Kunlun and walked toward Lu Chen.
Before the person reached him, Perfected Lord Tianlan's hearty laughter drifted over. With a hint of a joke, he said, "Is there anything important today? I haven't heard of anything happening on the mountain since early in the morning. "
Looking at Perfected Lord Tianlan's shiny bald head and gentle smile, Lu Chen did not know why, but a trace of warmth rose in his heart, causing his gaze to become gentler than usual.
Perfected Lord Tianlan was a great figure. Not only was his cultivation unfathomable, his understanding of his only personal disciple, Lu Chen, was also better than most people in the world. Although Lu Chen did not say anything or do anything, Perfected Lord Tianlan had already sensed something from the change in his gaze and was slightly startled.
This disciple in front of him had not looked at him like that for many years, right? At that moment, Perfected Lord Tianlan was even in a trance for a moment. He remembered that many years ago in that remote alley, when he held the little boy's hand for the first time, as well as that period of time after that. Although there were all kinds of difficult training, the child's gaze was always the same every time he looked at him.
Clear, bright, gentle, with indestructible trust and determination.
He trusted him, believed in his words, and was willing to risk his life for it.
He stepped into the most dangerous place in the world, he took on the most difficult task in the world, he abandoned his own life, threw himself into the darkness, and turned into a shadow.
He had once made a vow!
When he was young, the promise that the child made to him, the oath he made, had come true today after so many years!
However, at some point in time, the child grew up. His eyes were no longer clear and gentle. His gaze became sharp and complicated. He never looked at him with that kind of trust and dependence again. Even when he returned to his side and knelt down and called him Master, Perfected Lord Tian Lan didn't feel the child from back then.
Perfected Lord Tian Lan almost never regretted it, including when he made that child turn into a shadow back then. It was just that in the bottom of his heart, in the end, occasionally, in a certain instant, there would always be some faint regret.
Until today, he suddenly saw Lu Chen's gaze again.
He didn't know what had happened, but from Lu Chen's eyes, even if it was only for a short moment, he could still feel the warmth and clarity of the past. This child, even though he had grown up, in Perfected Lord Tianlan's heart, Lu Chen seemed to have suddenly returned to that youth.
There was a distance between them, and they just looked at each other like this. For a while, neither of them spoke. However, the atmosphere in the hall was neither tense nor oppressive. Instead, it was filled with a faint sense of warmth. As for the aura that Lu Chen had inexplicably felt earlier that made him unhappy and dangerous, it seemed to have suddenly disappeared into thin air after Perfected Lord Tian Lan walked here.
…
"What's wrong?"
After a while, Perfected Lord Tian Lan was the first to speak. His tone sounded calm and gentle.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but he didn't speak. There was a hint of struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
To be honest, before he came to the main hall of Kunlun, he didn't plan to say much to Perfected Lord Tian Lan, especially about his secrets and strange encounters. Many of them would involve the secret of the black fire in his body. Therefore, Lu Chen's original intention of coming here was actually to ask Perfected Lord Tian Lan about this big shot's plans.
Given Lu Chen's understanding of Perfected Lord Tian Lan's understanding of the Blood Sea phenomenon and the previous arrangements, this' lunatic 'whose heart was as deep as the ocean and whose ambitions were greater than the heavens would definitely be plotting something.
Although he didn't know the specific content, Lu Chen had a feeling that if he didn't prepare in advance, he would probably be out of luck very soon.
There were thousands of madmen in the world, but this one in front of him was the most ferocious!
He really couldn't be provoked!
However, at this moment, Lu Chen was once again sure that there must be something wrong on Sky Dragon Mountain. Furthermore, this strange thing was strongly affecting his emotions and will. This was because he felt that when he was facing Perfected Lord Tian Lan, his emotions suddenly fluctuated violently. He actually recalled his youth, and then the trust, admiration, and worship he had for this "madman" that he had buried deep in his heart a long time ago were evoked one by one.
When he was young, he followed behind this person every day, honing himself and cultivating himself. That was the happiest and most worry-free time of his life.
He had never seen or heard of his father. When he was young, he had once thought that if he really needed a father, that burly figure would be the perfect choice.
His emotions were fluctuating like waves, and he couldn't control himself for a moment. After Perfected Lord Tian Lan asked him gently, Lu Chen lowered his head in silence for a long time. Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan. His voice seemed to be a little hoarse as he said in a low voice, "Can I believe you?"
…
Perfected Lord Tian Lan was stunned. In the face of this question, which should have been easy for him to answer even with his eyes closed, he actually couldn't say a word.
He had stood at the peak, far away from the mortal world for too long. He looked down on the mortal world like a god, which made his heart lose its softness.
It had been a long time since he had ever cared about other people's thoughts. He subconsciously wanted to smile and answer with "of course", but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He looked at Lu Chen and the eyes of this person in front of him. Then, he suddenly realized that the last and only person he could give his feelings to was this disciple of his.
He suddenly felt that perhaps he shouldn't lie.
He thought about it carefully and pondered for a while. Then, he shook his head at Lu Chen with a serious expression. In the end, he smiled bitterly and sighed. After a series of complicated and continuous expressions, he seemed to be a little depressed. Then, he said lightly, "I don't think so."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan as if he couldn't react to what he had heard. Perfected Lord Tian Lan said to him again, "I think you probably won't believe me completely."
Lu Chen stared at him for a while and said, "Are you so straightforward with everyone now?"
"No, I only say that to you," Perfected Lord Tian Lan said calmly.
Lu Chen was stunned and fell silent. After a while, he suddenly nodded as if he had made up his mind. He looked at Perfected Lord Tian Lan and said, "Alright, let's not talk nonsense. I have something very strange that I must tell you."
