Chapter 97: Tangxia Town (II)
A "green feather" made Lu Qingming's body tremble, and he slowly turned his head, and saw the familiar face at a glance, and the other party was also looking at him blankly.
Lu Qingming couldn't help but mutter, "Elder Chu." ”
Lu Qingming didn't move, but the old man Elder Chu walked towards Lu Qingming step by step, and then stood in front of Lu Qingming, looked at him carefully for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's you, you really came." ”
"Elder Chu, it's been a long time. Lu Qingming responded. Then he glanced at Elder Chu at the same time, and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, you have aged a lot." ”
Elder Chu's appearance at this time was like that of an old man in a sixtieth century, which was exactly the same as his age, but he was a martial artist of the Ning Yuan Realm, so he shouldn't be like this. All martial artists who have reached the Ning Yuan Realm or above, their appearance ages slower than ordinary people, and even if they are past the age of sixties, they should only have the appearance of the year of the Mandate of Heaven.
Elder Chu sat down without responding to anything, and instead said, "You kid, why did you come back again? You shouldn't come back, this battle contract is just a postponement of their killing of you, no matter whether you defeat Xiao Zheng or not, they will not let you go." ”
"I won't run away from it, even if they bury a net, I will still come to the appointment. Lu Qingming said firmly, his eyes constantly flashing with coldness.
Elder Chu felt the cold breath in the air, and said in surprise, "You...... You've finally gotten the hang of it?"
"Huh?" Lu Qingming was stunned for a moment, then understood, and smiled slightly, "Yes, Elder Chu, I have opened my mind, so I am stronger." ”
"Indeed, now your breath is only murderous, not cold from the bones, I feel very relieved, although I don't know what you have experienced, but it is really good that you can open your mind. Elder Chu finally showed a smile and smiled very happily.
"Brother Lu, who is this old man?"
Lu Qingming suddenly cried and laughed when he faced his question, raised his hand and knocked him again, and said, "How can there be such a question? ”
"Oh. Got it. The dragon demon replied aggrievedly.
Elder Chu suddenly became interested in this child, his eyes flashed and he looked at the little demon dragon, thinking about Lu Qingming and said, "You are not going to introduce it." ”
"Forehead......" Lu Qingming scratched his head before he said, "This is called the Dragon Demon, and I received it...... Apprentice. ”
"Apprentice?" Elder Chu looked at Lu Qingming in surprise and asked, "You will accept apprentices now, won't it affect your own cultivation?"
"My cultivation has never been affected by external things. Lu Qingming said categorically, "So, I left him, and with his talent, not only will it not affect me, but maybe it may even help me." ”
"Forget it, you think it's okay. "Elder Chu didn't want to stop him, he would never use his will to interfere with the choice of his juniors.
"Kid, introduce yourself. Elder Chu turned to smile and said to the dragon demon.
"You don't introduce yourself first. The little demon raised his head and lowered it again.
Elder Chu was stunned, and Lu Qingming was about to knock him again, but was stopped by Elder Chu. Elder Chu said with a smile on his face: "My name is Chu Feihong, and I am the Great Elder of the Outer Gate of the Golden Feather Pavilion, so I can be regarded as your grandfather's generation." ”
"Cut, what grandfather, I call him Brother Lu, so naturally I can only call you grandpa. Also, my name is Dragon Demon. After saying this, the little demon dragon continued to bow his head and eat, without the slightest virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
"Uh...... Hehehehe...... Elder Chu suddenly laughed, and turned to Lu Qingming and said, "Your apprentice is good, very good. ”
After the two of them smiled, they didn't speak, just quietly ate the noodles in their bowls.
After a long time, Lu Qingming suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "By the way, Elder Chu, what about Senior Brother Chu, why didn't he come out with you?"
When Elder Chu heard this question, his face immediately changed, and his noodle eating action also stopped, and he was silent for a long time. In the silence, two lines of tears slowly slid down, and Lu Qingming immediately knew that something was wrong, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"He, already gone, gone, died not long after that, died. Elder Chu said with difficulty, his eyes became blank, and he suddenly aged a few years older.
Lu Qingming was also stunned, and then, when he reacted, his anger rose again, his face twitched continuously, and he asked in a low voice: "Because of what, because of what?"
"Because, an Assassin, and an Assassin, has been killed by me. There was no trace of emotion in Lu Qingming's voice, but Lu Qingming could feel the infinite despair in it.
"Isn't there anyone to instruct?" Lu Qingming continued to ask.
"Command?hehe, I forced the question out, but-hehe-but, it was a great god, the biggest god of the Luoxia Empire. Elder Chu's voice was bitter.
This Senior Brother Chu is actually the only surviving grandson of all Elder Chu's relatives. His only reliance, however, was hurt because of the first small misunderstanding that year, although the initiator had been killed by Lu Qingming, but he didn't expect that behind the initiator would send a killer to assassinate the old man's only remaining reliance.
"Really?" Lu Qingming was cold together.
Elder Chu was about to say something, but suddenly looked up at the door, and his voice was cold: "Who?"
Lu Qingming followed Elder Chu's gaze, there was no one at the door, but Lu Qingming knew that there was indeed someone there just now - an extremely clever killer, a killer who wanted to kill himself.
"It's my friend, he can't see people for special reasons. Lu Qingming opened his mouth to explain.
Elder Chu was stunned for a moment, looked at it for a while, and then withdrew his gaze and muttered, "Oh, I see. Even though he said this, anyone could see that he did not believe it. It's just that, in view of his trust in Lu Qingming, he still thinks that there should be a reason why Lu Qingming doesn't want to say it-maybe he doesn't want to worry about him.
Elder Chu sighed slightly in his heart: "The child has grown up and has been able to be independent, so I don't need to worry about him anymore." ”
The three of them ate a bowl of noodles in the restaurant and then said goodbye.
Before leaving, Elder Chu only said to Lu Qingming: "Take care of yourself in the future." Then he didn't say anything else, and dragged his long figure away.
After watching Elder Chu leave, Lu Qingming turned around and came to the dark place behind the restaurant, where a young girl was waiting, as if she knew that he would come.
"Why are you still following me?" Lu Qingming asked coldly.
Lin Qin glanced at Lu Qingming, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say I'm your friend?"
Lu Qingming frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Qin's change of topic, but she didn't realize it. It's just that Lu Qingming finally replied, "Friend, do you think it's possible?" I just don't want Elder Chu to meet with you, and I don't want Elder Chu to be listed as a target for harm by you because of this incident." ”
"You...... As I said, my decision to assassinate you is just my own, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Lin Qin looked at Lu Qingming angrily and said.
It's just that Lu Qingming didn't prepare to refute or anything, but continued to ask the first question: "Why don't you leave yet, and follow me? ”
Lin Qin shook his head, did not face Lu Qingming, and said, "If I don't follow you, it won't be easy for me to track you after you run away." Therefore I will follow at all times, lest thou flee. ”
"Unreasonable. Nonsense. Mess around. Lu Qingming only used six words to evaluate.
"Hmph......" Lin Qin snorted coldly and ignored Lu Qingming, but, after a moment of silence, a sword suddenly fell on her neck, and she couldn't react.
"You made a mistake. Lu Qingming's cold voice appeared in her ears, "You didn't even look at me directly, you actually exposed your back in front of me, and you actually relaxed your vigilance." ”
Lin Qin immediately calmed down after a moment of panic, and said with a smile: "You can't kill me here, why should I be wary of you?"
Lu Qingming's eyes were cold, he looked directly into Lin Qin's eyes, and said, "This is not a reason for a killer to relax his vigilance, you really shouldn't make this kind of mistake." ”
Lin Qin raised her head proudly, showing a woman's unique unreasonableness: "I am willing, what does it matter to you?"
After a stalemate for a long time, Lu Qingming suddenly waved the love sword, slashed through Lin Qin's hair, a few green silks fell, and the long sword returned to its sheath. Lu Qingming slowly stretched out his hand, took his hair in his hand, and said lightly: "You'd better leave immediately, don't follow me anymore." ”
"I know you don't know much about my four-year war contract with your senior brother, so I didn't kill you. However, you're better off not getting involved. I didn't kill you before, for the sake of you being my former senior sister, but if there is a next time, even in front of the Golden Feather Pavilion, I will not let you go. ”
After Lu Qingming finished speaking, he turned around and left with the dragon demon, and the target was Tangshan Golden Feather Pavilion. Lu Qingming didn't tell Elder Chu about this before, because he also didn't want him to be contacted by the Golden Feather Pavilion or the royal family, which would be dangerous, and he didn't want Elder Chu to be in danger because of himself.
"Hmph...... If you don't follow, you won't follow, then I won't be very faceless. Lin Qin stood in place and muttered to himself, and was about to secretly follow again, but suddenly turned back as if he found something, however, there was nothing behind him, and it was quiet. She only thought it was her own delusion, and after a little confusion, she left.
It's just that, after she left, a blood-robed man appeared around the corner.
