Tianlan Zhenjun watched Lu Chen walk in, without saying anything, nor did he speak, he just sat quietly on the lotus throne. It's not the kind of sitting that is upright and solemn, but the kind that sits on the ground very casually and makes you very comfortable.

He even put a hand on his knee, his palm propped up on his chin, and he looked at Lu Chen with a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if there were some complicated emotions hidden in it. Lu Chen couldn't understand what this person was thinking, he just felt that today's dead bald head seemed to be a little different from usual.

Is it because of what happened in the underground caverns?

He walked to the lotus throne and stopped, and was thinking about how to ask better, when he heard Tianlan Zhenjun's voice coming from the high lotus throne, and said, "You came to me, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Chen looked up at the throne a little unaccustomedly, usually, most of the times when the two of them met or were alone, Tianlan Zhenjun was very close and kind to him, and almost never sat on the high lotus throne to talk to him, either standing with him, or sitting on the ground very casually.

And this time, separated by the high lotus throne, it was as if there was a chasm between the two, and they became a little estranged.

Lu Chen didn't know if Tianlan Zhenjun was doing this on purpose, or if he was sitting casually and didn't think so much, he was just too lazy to move, but this way of speaking still made him feel a little depressed and unhappy.

It's just that when this thought passed through his heart, Lu Chen was suddenly shocked, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a little introspective.

With Tianlan Zhenjun's powerful position and supreme prestige at this moment, he can actually sit firmly on the lotus throne in front of the vast majority of people in the world, and all of them will take it for granted. But why, why do you feel unjust?

It is because for a long time that he has unconsciously become accustomed to Tianlan Zhenjun's different eyes and differential treatment of him, and he has unconsciously taken Tianlan Zhenjun's special treatment of him as a matter of course.

However, if some things are seen and explained thoroughly, then a naked and cold fact will still be revealed from his dazzling appearance: until now, everything Lu Chen has owned, status, power, wealth, etc., is actually relying on this man he called a dead bald head.

Without Tianlan Zhenjun, who would recognize him as a shadow?

Blood Warbler? Or the proud soldiers of the Floating Cloud Division?

He has always prided himself on being calm, but he unknowingly let himself step on the edge of the cliff without realizing it.

Lu Chen stood there quietly, and a cold sweat broke out under his clothes.

※※※

Tianlan Zhenjun was still sitting on the throne of the high platform, staring at Lu Chen with his chin in his hand, there was no anger or anger on his face, but it seemed to be quite playful in that gaze.

For this apprentice of his, Tianlan Zhenjun always seemed to have a unique patience that was different from others.

But in the depths of that gaze, who knows what he's thinking?

Will there be a thunderbolt from the sky all of a sudden?

In his gaze, Lu Chen seemed to be standing under the lotus throne for a moment after walking into the main hall, but he quickly returned to normal, first raised his head and glanced at Tianlan Zhenjun, and then said, "Are you okay?"

"Me?" Tianlan Zhenjun didn't seem to expect Lu Chen to ask such a question, so that he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "What can I do?"

Lu Chen said: "Anyway, you went there with me." Later, you asked me to call someone, and after I left, I didn't know what was going on in the dungeon, but I only saw the scene where you rose at the end. So I thought, whether you want to tell me what's going on or not, I'm going to have to come over and ask if you're okay. ”

Tianlan Zhenjun raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was a little surprised, so that he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly his body moved slightly, and his unusually tall and burly body suddenly disappeared from the lotus throne, and the next moment it appeared on the ground like a ghost, standing not far in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen raised his eyes to look at him, his face was calm, but his hands in the sleeve robe were slowly clenched subconsciously.

Tianlan Zhenjun stared at Lu Chen for a moment, then said with a smile: "I almost thought I heard it wrong just now, it seems that you actually cared about me?

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I have bowed to you and worshiped my teacher, and you raised me since I was a child. So, after thinking about it these days, I feel that maybe I should have more respect for you. ”

"Ha!" Tianlan Zhenjun seemed to be very surprised, and couldn't help laughing, the gaze in the depths of his eyes flickered, and he smiled at Lu Chen, "You actually think like this, it's really surprising to me, I thought you would only scold me for being bald in your heart, and you still have a little resentment towards me." ”

Lu Chen fell silent and did not speak.

Tianlan Zhenjun laughed twice, and found that he didn't get a response from Lu Chen, his face changed slightly, and he also quieted down, and the atmosphere around him suddenly changed from relaxed to a little dignified. He frowned, looked at Lu Chen, and his expression changed a little, as if he was a little happy and a little jealous.

After a while, I only heard Lu Chen speak slowly: "After the Battle of the Barren Valley back then, I stayed in Qingshuitang Village for ten years, and I suffered a lot during this time, how are you doing, you probably know it in your heart, right?"

Tianlan Zhenjun let out an "um", put his hands behind his back, looked at Lu Chen, and waited for his next step.

Lu Chen didn't let him wait too long, and said very calmly and calmly: "I was very tormented in those years, I died and came back to life every day, and I didn't see you coming, so I naturally had some resentment towards you. It's just that after all these years, I gradually understand a little bit of what you had to do back then......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, but he stopped talking, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

Tianlan Zhenjun was listening carefully, and suddenly saw that he stopped talking, and his face changed, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "What's more, why don't you say it?"

Lu Chen looked as if he was suddenly a little annoyed, turned his face instantly, no, he rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said angrily: "Say a fart, don't say it! Lao Tzu is this kind of person, you can do whatever you want, anyway, just come and ask, anything else." Are you okay? I'm leaving. ”

Tianlan Zhenjun was bumped by him, and for some reason, looking at Lu Chen's expression, the depths of his gaze softened a little, as if he also remembered the feeling of the little hand that he had just taken away from him for many years.

He smiled, as if the heavens and the earth had become gentler at this moment, he nodded, not at all embarrassed by Lu Chen's somewhat annoyed and angry expression, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

He walked over, patted Lu Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "In fact, I did a small thing at the bottom, killing a person, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Lu Chen's body was shocked, and he was stunned: "Murder? There are other people in the city below?"

Tianlan Zhenjun said nonchalantly: "That Demon Sect remnant called Ghost Elder." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, as if he had shaken off a nasty speck of dust, and he didn't seem to care at all, and then he gently put his hand on Lu Chen's shoulder, hugged him and walked out, and said at the same time: "Why, why does it sound like you're a little surprised by this?"
