In the dark and humid night, the cold wind blew, and I don't know when, it began to rain again, hitting the eaves, flowing down, and gradually forming a hazy transparent wall of water hanging on the eaves.

Droplets of water fluttered and fell in the darkness, dripping onto the ground with a low, pleasant sound.

"Sister Su?"

In the room, which had been dark and quiet, a call suddenly sounded, and with some caution, floated over from the side of the bed.

It's the voice of the White Lotus!

On another bed not far from the other side of the room, Su Qingjun turned over, answered, and then seemed a little surprised, and said, "It's the first time you call me like this, right?"

"Really?" Bai Lian thought for a while, seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "We didn't know each other before, but now that you saved my life and are older than me, I still have to call you sister." ”

Su Qingjun smiled in the dark, and then said: "Although I have a hand to help you heal and bandage, but if you really talk about it, in fact, the person who saved you is still Lu Chen, and I can't take this credit." ”

Bai Lian snorted and said, "He stabbed me first, and if I want to be grateful to him, then I can't do it." ”

Su Qingjun smiled: "What you said also makes sense. After a pause, Su Qingjun looked at the place where Bai Lian was over there, and said, "Bai Lian, when I listened to you and Lu Chen talk a few days ago, I was puzzled by one question: It sounds like you weren't controlled by him at that time, why didn't you dodge it at that critical juncture? If the injury was more serious, it would really be fatal." ”

Bai Lian suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she whispered: "I am not subject to him, but I am still subject to others after all......"

Her words were already very vague and light when she said this, Su Qingjun didn't hear it too clearly, and asked in amazement, "What?"

Bai Lian didn't seem to want to say more on this topic, turned her head to look at the window not far away, looked at the phantom that was swaying in the dimness, and heard the melodious sound of rain ticking outside. She seemed stunned for a moment, and then said quietly, "It's raining again." ”

Su Qingjun glanced at her, only to hear Bai Lian's voice drifting over like a flickering wind outside, and said, "I don't know if it will rain in Kunlun Mountain now?"

Su Qingjun was stunned for a moment, then sat up slowly, and said softly, "What's wrong, are you homesick?"

Bai Lian shook her head in the dark, and said a little sadly: "I'm not homesick, I just miss those things on Kunlun Mountain." Sister Su, you've been out for so long, do you feel homesick?"

Su Qingjun was silent, and only said after a while: "Of course I will still think about it, after all, my parents are both ......"

"But I heard that they seem to have some resentment towards you?" Bai Lian said, "I heard such rumors when I was still in Kunlun Mountain. ”

Su Qingjun was stunned, then smiled bitterly, and said: "They are my parents after all, I didn't fully meet their expectations, but that place is still my home after all." ”

"You're so good, no matter what, you still have a home that you miss, unlike me, ......" Bai Lian sneered suddenly, paused and said, "My dead master probably cultivated that kind of ice and snow exercises, and cultivated too deeply, and as a result, his temperament was as cold as ice, so I don't think he has any enthusiasm for me, but as you said, it's finally a master-apprentice, although he died inexplicably, he also choked me enough." ”

Su Qingjun was taken aback and said, "You mean Bai Chen Zhenjun is ...... Did it hurt you?"

"I was hiding under a big tree, and I was going to take advantage of the shade, but suddenly the tree fell down, and of course I was embarrassed. Bai Lian said angrily, "On the contrary, look at Lu Chen, what a scenery he is now, not to mention me, even you, compared to us on Kunlun Mountain before, it is really a world of difference." ”

Although it was not pleasant to know that this kind of thing was not a pleasant thing, Su Qingjun couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart when he heard Bai Lian's words for the first time. After a while, she stood up and walked to the side of Bai Lian's bed and sat down.

Bai Lian turned her head in the darkness and looked at her, even in the dark night, Su Qingjun seemed to be able to see the bright and abnormal eyes of this girl.

"Don't hold too much grudge against Lu Chen in your heart. Su Qingjun said softly.

"Why?" Bai Lian asked rhetorically.

Su Qingjun sighed and said, "In the past so many years, what he has done is a dangerous shadow of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and I don't know how many lives he has in his hands. In other words, I don't know if he is high or not, but the means of killing people must not be bad. ”

She turned her head to stare into Bai Lian's eyes and whispered, "Do you think, if he really wanted to kill you that night, would that knife be possible?"

Bai Lian was silent, and after a while, she suddenly turned over, but she was facing the wall, looking like she was about to sleep.

※※※

In front of the Kunlun Palace, Tianlan Zhenjun had already dismissed the guards who were guarding the Kunlun Palace, and then he and Lu Chen's master and apprentice were very imageless, sitting on the ground at the entrance of the hall at unusually random, with their backs against the tall threshold behind them, facing the next rain that kept dripping from the eaves.

There was no sound except for the sound of wind and rain, and it seemed that only the two of them were left in such a huge temple.

Tianlan Zhenjun stared at the boundless dark sky in the distance, and didn't speak for a long time, until Lu Chen's voice sounded in his ears, as if to confirm with him, and said, "Then, we're decided?"

Tianlan Zhenjun nodded and said, "That's it." ”

"Good. Lu Chen also looked at the dark night outside, and after a while, he suddenly said, "You know, I used to scold you for being a madman in front of Lao Ma before. ”

Tianlan Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Chen to suddenly say such a thing, so he just smiled and didn't speak, obviously not taking Lu Chen's words to heart.

It's just that Lu Chen's face didn't smile, it didn't look like he was arguing with Tianlan Zhenjun, he just heard him say in a low voice: "When I scolded at the beginning, I was venting my anger, but in fact, I didn't really mean it, it's just what you want to do now, is it really good?"

Tianlan Zhenjun's expression was calm, and he said: "It's okay, if you believe me, help me, if you don't believe me, you can also leave the fairy city, no one will stop you." ”

Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm also a madman, so I would choose to believe you." ”

Tianlan Zhenjun laughed, and then threw a wine gourd over, Lu Chen caught it, raised his head and took a big sip, then let out a long breath and sighed: "Happy!"

As he spoke, he turned back to Tianlan Zhenjun and asked in a deep voice, "How much time is left?"

Tianlan Zhenjun hesitated for a rare moment, and said, "I can't say for sure, it depends on the situation of the blood moon below." ”

"Hmm. Lu Chen nodded, as if to express understanding, and then he turned his head and looked at the water droplets dripping from the top of the main hall like a waterfall, and after a while, he suddenly said to Tianlan Zhenjun: "Anyway, I seem to have been a little puzzled about one thing recently." ”

"What?"

Lu Chen said: "That's you, Master, for many years, you have always taken dealing with the Demon Sect as your number one goal, and how many fights and battles you have fought and killed, you will want to get rid of them as soon as possible." But the strange thing is that this time I brought the news that I might be able to catch the ghost elder, but you don't seem to care about it, huh?"

"Isn't that a very strange thing?" Lu Chen turned his head, stared at Tianlan Zhenjun, and said softly, "Isn't it, Master?"
