Lu Chen glanced at Yi Xin and said, "Why do you ask?"
Yi Xin lowered her head silently. After a long while, she whispered, "Nothing. I just feel that Brother Lu, you are thinking so far ahead. You are so powerful."
"Do you regret letting me help you?"
Yi Xin's body trembled slightly. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no. I didn't mean that. You helped me for my own good. I know that. I … I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. I am especially … "
"Do you remember that you promised to do something for me?" Lu Chen suddenly interrupted her.
Yi Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."
Lu Chen said lightly, "That's good. After this matter, no matter what, Hundred Herb Hall will value you even more. Plus, you're someone that Dongfang Tao has taken a liking to and your talent isn't bad, so your position in Hundred Herb Hall in the future will be much better than it is now. This is good for both of us. "
Yi Xin was speechless. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Lu Chen stood up and said, "It's late. You should rest early. I'm leaving."
Yi Xin thought of something and said, "Brother Lu, I remember that there are guards outside. How did you get in …"
Lu Chen stood in the darkness and smiled slightly. He didn't answer her question. He stepped back and quickly merged into the darkness. Yi Xin widened her eyes and looked towards the darkness, only to see a few faint ripples suddenly appearing on the quiet surface of the water in the deep darkness. When she looked again carefully, there was no sign of anyone.
…
Silently shuttling through the darkness, like the shadow of the moon, he came down from the top of the Rock Mountain without anyone noticing. Lu Chen looked up at the night sky and saw that it was already late at night. It was already past midnight. It was already the curfew time in the Kunlun Party.
Speaking of this curfew, it was a special rule in the Kunlun Party. Other cultivation sects rarely had such restrictions. After all, the cultivators who practiced immortality and refinement were all strong and energetic. It was not a big deal even if they didn't sleep for a day and night. But in the Kunlun Party, this rule of forbidding the disciples to go out after midnight had been around for a long time. It was said that it could even be traced back to the early days of the Kunlun Party, which had a history of thousands of years.
In short, the Kunlun Sect was a famous sect with a lot of rules. Coupled with the name of restraining its disciples to concentrate on cultivation, it was actually not particularly strange. Just like that, they persisted year after year.
But of course, the so-called curfew could not be completely empty. Such a large mountain, such a large territory, if there were no guards patrolling, wouldn't it have been looted by countless thieves? Therefore, in the darkness of the night, although the nearby mountain path was quiet, there would occasionally be a group of patrolling guards passing by.
Lu Chen walked quietly on the mountain road. When there were guards, he would often hide in advance. The guards, who were usually at least in the Foundation Realm, seemed to have never noticed a low-level handyman disciple like him wandering outside late at night.
Rock Mountain was where the official disciples of the Baicao Tang lived. The handyman disciples lived some distance away. Lu Chen walked and soon passed a fork in the road. A stone staircase extended up from the side of the mountain road. Lu Chen paused and remembered that this was the pavilion where he and Yi Xin met late at night a few days ago.
Thinking about what he said that night and Yi Xin's appearance at that time, then thinking about how things seemed to have turned upside down in just a few days, Lu Chen felt a little emotional, but he did not intend to stop and continued to walk forward.
The footsteps gradually faded away and Lu Chen's figure also disappeared into the darkness. But after a while, in this quiet mountain forest, as the cold night wind blew, a blurry figure suddenly walked out from the gloomy pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The figure was that of a slender woman. Because it was too dark, it was impossible to see her appearance clearly. One could only faintly see that she was standing on the edge of the pavilion, gazing in the direction that Lu Chen had left. The night wind blew, causing her clothes and hair to float. A flash of light flitted through the night. It was a scarlet feather shawl draped over her shoulder.
She silently stood in the darkness. After a while, she turned around and walked toward the summit.
… …
The days in Kunlun Mountain once again calmed down. The He brothers went into seclusion, and Mount Li went into seclusion. Afterwards, this matter was quickly forgotten. Everyone once again began to live the same leisurely days as before, cultivating, refining, and competing to become immortals.
In the spiritual fields at the base of Rockpan Mountain, the various kinds of spiritual plants had also reached the point of maturity. Baicao Tang sent people down to take the harvest with great familiarity. Then, according to the rules, the surplus harvested spiritual plants were given to the odd job disciples. Afterwards, they exchanged them on the spot. Basically everyone exchanged them for spirit stones.
The number of spirit stones varied, but this was the first time that most of the odd job disciples had extra money on hand. Thus, before they began planting the next batch of spiritual fields, they had half a month of comfortable days to pass. Many people were already calculating what kind of miraculous medicine they should exchange for to assist in their cultivation, or perhaps they should inquire about whether the sect had better cultivation methods they could purchase.
Lu Chen's harvest was also not bad. He had obtained thirty spirit stones, which was considered a lot among the odd job disciples. However, before the spirit stones had warmed up in his bosom, an uninvited guest came to find him.
"Treat, Brother Lu!" When Yi Xin found Lu Chen, she was smiling so happily that even her eyes seemed to be squinting.
Although on the night when she was injured, Yi Xin still seemed to be a little uneasy, but as her injuries improved, she still secretly looked at Lu Chen in a new light. She secretly regarded him as her most trustworthy friend, often sneaking over to talk to him.
On this day, after receiving the spirit stones, Yi Xin came to his door to ask for some money.
Lu Chen unhappily rolled his eyes at this smiling young girl. "Your family is obviously rich, why do you always think of a pauper like me?"
Yi Xin smiled. "That's not the same. It's especially delicious to eat your treat."
"…" Lu Chen said, "You've learned bad things."
Yi Xin pulled him away and said, "That's because I learned bad things from you. Less nonsense, let's go, let's go. Besides, I haven't seen Atsu for a long time. You always said it wasn't good to go up the mountain, so you left it in Kunwu City. It's so pitiful. "
Lu Chen couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to follow her. However, he hadn't gone down the mountain for quite some time, so he also wanted to find some free time to go to Old Ma's place to take a look. The two of them walked all the way to the southern mountain gate of the Kunlun Party. Just as they were about to pass under the majestic memorial archway of the mountain gate and leave the mountain, they suddenly saw a sudden commotion coming from below. The Kunlun disciples walking in front of them suddenly made way for a path. Soon after, a group of people walked over.
Lu Chen and Yi Xin didn't know what was going on. They were a bit puzzled, but they still followed the crowd and stood to the side. Before long, that group of people walked past them. The leader was an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion. He looked like an immortal, and his aura was truly extraordinary. He seemed to be an expert who had achieved the Dao. Walking next to this imposing old man was a little girl. She looked about ten years old, had an ethereal temperament, and was extremely beautiful. Moreover, the most amazing thing about her was that despite her young age, she seemed to have a kind of cold and holy aura. She was like a White Lotus on a snowy peak, making people not dare to approach her.
Lu Chen, who was standing to the side, suddenly frowned. His gaze fell on the girl's face, and he discovered that he had seen this incomparably holy girl before.
