Lu Chen looked around, but in the wide hall, except for the dim light, he didn't find anything abnormal, except for the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

It's a feeling that lingers, and it's unsightly, intangible, and distracting. Lu Chen frowned slightly, lowered his head slowly, as if he was in deep thought, and stood in place for a long time without moving.

After a long while, there was a sudden sound of familiar footsteps in the main hall, and after a while, the burly figure appeared on the Kunlun main hall and walked towards Lu Chen.

Before the person arrived, Tianlan Zhenjun's hearty laughter floated over first, with a bit of a joke, and said with a smile: "Is there anything important today? I haven't heard anything about what happened on the mountain this morning." ”

Lu Chen looked at Tianlan Zhenjun's bright bald head and gentle smile, and for some reason, there was a trace of warmth in his heart, so that his eyes became softer than usual.

What kind of character Tianlan Zhenjun is, his Taoism is unfathomable, and his understanding of Lu Chen, his only personal disciple, is even better than most people in the world. Although Lu Chen hadn't spoken yet, and he didn't make any movements, just this change in his eyes, Tianlan Zhenjun had already noticed something, and he was slightly stunned.

The apprentice in front of him hadn't looked at himself like that for many years, right? At that moment, Tianlan Zhenjun even had a moment of trance, and he remembered the first time he held the little boy's hand in that remote alley on the street many years ago, and in the period after that, although there were all kinds of hard tempering and cultivation, every time that child looked at him, the eyes were always the same.

Clear, clear, gentle, with indestructible trust and firmness.

He trusted himself, he believed in his words, and he fought for them, willing to be born and die.

He stepped into the most dangerous place in the world, he took on the most difficult task in the world, he left his life behind, threw himself into the shadows of darkness, and became a shadow.

He made a vow!

When he was a teenager, the promises and vows that the child made to him have been fulfilled today, many years later!

It's just that I don't know when the child grew up, his eyes were no longer clear and gentle, and his eyes became sharp and complex. He never looked at himself with that kind of trust and dependence again, even when he returned to his side and bowed down to himself and called out that master, Tianlan Zhenjun didn't feel the child at the beginning.

Tianlan Zhenjun almost never regretted it, even when he let that kid become a shadow, he never regretted it. It's just that in the bottom of his heart, after all, occasionally, at a certain moment, there are always some faint regrets.

Until today, he suddenly saw Lu Chen's gaze again.

He didn't know what was going on, but from Lu Chen's eyes, even if it was just that short moment, he still felt that kind of gentle and clear gaze back then, this child, even if he had grown up, but in Tianlan Zhenjun's heart, Lu Chen seemed to have suddenly changed back to the boy he was back then.

The two men looked at each other at a distance, and for a moment no one spoke. It's just that the atmosphere in this hall is not tense, let alone depressing, but filled with a faint warm atmosphere. As for the unpleasant and dangerous aura that Lu Chen had inexplicably felt before, since Tianlan Zhenjun walked here, it seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

"What's wrong?"

After a while, it was Tianlan Zhenjun who opened his mouth first, and his tone sounded calm, but it was also gentle.

Lu Chen hesitated, but did not speak, and there was a trace of struggle and hesitation in his eyes.

To be honest, before he came to the Kunlun Palace, he didn't plan to say anything more to Tianlan Zhenjun, especially those secrets and strange encounters about himself, many of which would involve the secret of the black fire in his body, so Lu Chen's original intention was actually just to ask Tianlan Zhenjun about the next big man's plans.

The vision of the sea of blood has come out, and with all the previous arrangements, with Lu Chen's understanding of Tianlan Zhenjun, this "madman" with a heart as deep as the sea and ambitions greater than the sky must have some conspiracy and tricks being arranged.

Although he didn't know the specific content yet, Lu Chen had a feeling that if he didn't prepare early, he was afraid that he would soon be unlucky.

There are thousands of crazy people in the world, and this one is the most ferocious!

I really can't afford to mess with it!

It's just that Lu Chen once again confirmed at this moment that there must be something wrong on the current Tianlong Mountain, and this inexplicable thing also strongly affects his emotions and mind. Because he felt that when he was facing Tianlan Zhenjun, his emotions suddenly fluctuated violently, and he suddenly recalled the time when he was a teenager, and then hooked up the trust, admiration and worship of this "madman" that he had buried deep in his heart for a long time.

When he was a teenager, he was young, and he followed behind this person every day, sharpening his own cultivation years, which was the happiest and carefree time in his life.

He had never seen or heard of his father, and the young boy had thought in his heart that if he really needed a father, that burly figure would be the perfect choice.

After Tianlan Zhenjun asked him gently, Lu Chen lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then suddenly raised his head, looked at Tianlan Zhenjun, his voice seemed to be a little dry, and said in a low voice: "I, can I believe you?"

※※※

Tianlan Zhenjun was stunned, when faced with this question that should have been easy and even he could answer with his eyes closed, he was speechless all of a sudden.

He had stood at the pinnacle, far from the mundane for too long, and the mundane world he looked down on was like a god, which made his heart lose its softness.

For a long, long time, he never cared about what others thought, he subconsciously wanted to smile and answer "of course", but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He looked at Lu Chen, looked at the eyes of the person in front of him, and then suddenly understood, it turned out that his last and only person who could give emotions was only such an apprentice.

He suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't have lied.

He thought about it carefully, thought about it for a while, and then shook his head at Lu Chen, revealing a bit of caution, and at the end, he smiled bitterly and sighed, this series of complex and continuous expressions came down, he seemed to be a little depressed, and then said lightly: "Can't." ”

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at Tianlan Zhenjun, who didn't seem to react to what he heard, Tianlan Zhenjun said to him again, "I don't think you will fully believe me." ”

Lu Chen stared at him, and after a while, he said, "Are you so straightforward to everyone now?"

"No, that's all I say to you. Tianlan Zhenjun said calmly.

Lu Chen was stunned and fell silent, and after a while, he suddenly nodded, as if he had made up his mind, looked at Tianlan Zhenjun, and said, "Okay, no matter what nonsense I have, I have something very strange now, I must tell you about it." ”
