"Do you know, sometimes I'm very suspicious of your identity and background?"
On the hillside outside the valley, two people and a dog sat together. Lu Chen grabbed a drumstick that Old Ma handed to him and ate it. At the same time, he mumbled something.
Somehow, Old Horse had brought a lot of food with him. At this time, he took them all out and even grabbed a meat bone and threw it to Ah-Tu. This made the black puppy so happy that it lay on the side and gnawed happily. The sound of chewing could be heard continuously.
"This puppy is not bad, but it's lame," Old Ma sighed and then turned to Lu Chen and said, "What did you say just now?"
Lu Chen didn't even look at him and murmured again.
Old Ma sneered and said, "I have a clean background, and I'm loyal and courageous. What are you doubting?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and sneered, "I've seen through you in the past ten years. You're fat, ugly, and stupid. You can't even do business or cultivate …"
"Hey!" Old Ma said angrily, "Bastard, it's fine if you say I'm fat, but how can you say I'm stupid? If I didn't protect you for the past ten years, you would have died many times! "
Lu Chen ignored Old Ma's protest and continued to say, "You're stupid, fat, and have low cultivation. But for more than ten years, the famous Lord Tianlan didn't trust anyone and only let you hang out with me. If that damn baldy didn't lie and really values me as much as he does, then there must be something wrong with your identity. "
He looked at Old Ma with interest and clicked his tongue. "Why does he trust a useless person like you so much? Are you the bastard son of that damn baldy?" Old Ma was a little surprised.
"Get out!" Old Ma glared at him and said, "How dare you slander me when you're eating my food? Spit out the chicken!"
Lu Chen threw the chicken drumstick at him. Old Ma twisted his body and dodged it.
"Hey, you're good at martial arts."
Old Ma smiled proudly and said, "Of course, these days I …"
"Oh!" Before Old Ma finished his words, he was interrupted by Lu Chen. He seemed to suddenly think of something and stared at Old Ma with a strange expression. He said, "That damn baldy is a super fat man, but you're just an ordinary fat man. Are you really a dissolute man left by that damn baldy when he was young?"
"Bah!" Old Ma said angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, I'm going to fall out with you!"
Lu Chen laughed and clapped his hands. He reached out to Old Ma and said, "Do you have wine?"
Old Ma threw a wine gourd over. Lu Chen caught it, opened the cork and took a big gulp. Then he let out a long breath and said, "Good wine."
Old Ma looked at him. Gradually, his eyes softened. After a while, he sighed and said, "Have you really thought it through? It's hard to say whether this trip to Kunlun will be a blessing or a curse. "
Lu Chen smiled and looked at Old Ma. He said, "Shouldn't you help him and try to persuade me to go?"
Old Ma shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter to me. Besides, I've stayed with you in that village for ten years. To be honest, I don't want you to take the risk."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. Then he said indifferently, "I've thought about it. I want to go."
Old Ma nodded and didn't say anything else. When he stood up and was about to pack his things, he lightly patted Lu Chen's shoulder.
Lu Chen smiled at him gently.
…
When they were packing their things and preparing to leave, Lu Chen asked Old Ma, "After leaving Qingshuitang Village, where have you been? What have you been doing?"
Old Ma didn't care about his image. He pulled up his waistband and patted his chubby belly. Then, he walked along the mountain path with Lu Chen and said, "I've been recuperating. After I've recuperated, I went to Kunwu City and opened a small shop."
Lu Chen paused and looked at him with a strange expression. He said, "You … You've been preparing for this for a long time?"
Old Ma said indifferently, "I can't say that I've been preparing for a long time. But since I had nothing to do anyway, I thought you'd definitely have a bad relationship with the Kunlun Party in the future, so I just ran to Kunwu City. "
"It'd be weird if I believed you." Lu Chen sneered and walked forward. However, a complicated light seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes.
Ah-Tu ran past the two of them, shaking his head and wagging his tail excitedly. It was just that he was limping due to his leg injury, which made him look very awkward.
Old Ma looked at it for a while and said to Lu Chen, "What's the matter with this puppy?"
Lu Chen said, "I picked it up on the road a few days ago."
Old Ma was a bit surprised. He said, "Huh? Has your temperament changed? Has your heart softened? "
Lu Chen said, "No, I just thought that if I'm hungry and can't find anything to eat, I'll eat dog meat to stave off my hunger."
Old Ma said, "… Just pretend I didn't say that."
Lu Chen said, "Right, since you've settled down in Kunwu City, I presume that with your means, you must've investigated a lot about the Kunlun Party. Let me ask you something. Have there been any particularly outstanding young disciples in the Kunlun Party recently? "
Old Ma smiled complacently. Soon after, he pondered with rapt attention for a while and said, "The Kunlun Party is a famous and large sect. It has many disciples and outstanding talents. Now that you've asked me this question, I don't know what to say. There are many candidates."
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, somewhere in this chaotic land, I met someone in the middle of the night." As he said this, he told Old Ma about the situation that happened that night. Then he said, "The 'Moonlight Slash' is a Taoist technique that is extremely difficult to cultivate in Kunlun. It's difficult for people who aren't talented to cultivate it. Plus, the person was a young woman. Perhaps you know about it?"
Old Ma frowned. After thinking carefully for a while, he shook his head and said, "I know about the Moonlight Slash, but I really can't think of any young female Kunlun Party disciple who could cultivate this technique in the past few years. Let's go back to Kunwu City first. I'll help you secretly inquire about it. It shouldn't be a big problem to find that person. "
As he said this, he paused and said, "What's wrong? You haven't even seen that woman's face yet. Why are you suddenly so interested in her?"
Lu Chen smiled and put a finger in front of his eyebrows. Then he slowly moved forward and lightly touched his forehead a few times. He said calmly, "That night, the tip of her sword was right here. If it was just a little bit further forward, it would probably have pierced through my head."
The smile on Old Ma's face suddenly faded a bit. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Chen with a faintly worried expression.
However, Lu Chen continued to talk without any change in his expression. He only said indifferently, "It's been many years since someone pointed a sword at my head like this."
"Woof woof woof woof …" The Atsu dog in front of them had already run far away. It turned its head and barked at the two of them, seemingly urging them to hurry up.
Lu Chen quickened his pace. At the same time, he calmly said, "Find her."
Old Ma nodded. He sighed and said, "Alright, I understand."
