Chapter 1 Brother and Sister

  "Kill..."

  In a daze, Lu Chen seemed to feel himself trapped in an illusion, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything, and his mind could only hear someone shouting loudly...

  Others may not be clear, but just one word has been lingering in his mind...

  "Kill...... kill......"

  "What the heck is this place?"

  Lu Chen tried to move his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge an inch. He couldn't even manage to wiggle a finger.

  That "kill" word grew louder and louder, Lu Chen's blood vessels began to throb, the killing intent surged endlessly...

  "Wake me up..."

  Just then, a stern shout entered his ears, and Lu Chen's heart moved, instantly opening his eyes...

  The terrifying screams disappeared, and in the field of vision, there was a wooden beam-made roof, surrounded by white curtains and bed sheets, and even the faint scent of women's bodies wafted into the nostrils, so comfortable.

  He slightly turned his head, and with this movement, all the bones in his body seemed to have fallen apart, causing him unbearable pain. He gritted his teeth, and only then did he see that he was surrounded by the female disciples of Qian Yu Men: You Lan Qing Zhen Ren, Mu Rong Yu Xi, Hui Lin, Hui Yue Ren, and so on. And sitting beside him was naturally Xiao Liao Tou Zuo Qing Hua...

  "Yātóu?" Lù Chén struggled to get up, bearing the pain, but was pressed back down by Zuǒ Qīng Huā.

  "Brother, you've finally woken up......" The little girl had obviously just cried her nose red, and her eyes were still puffy. Her small face was streaked with tears that hadn't quite dried yet, and she kept wiping them away in a sloppy manner...

  "Yatou, are you alright?" Lu Chen's rare gentle gaze only appeared on Zuo Qinghua's face, this was no longer a secret, several little maids saw sincerity and concern in Lu Chen's eyes, some of them couldn't help but feel envious.

  Her face flushed, Zuo Qing shook her head and said: "Master has already given me the Sheng Qi Dan, it's nothing, but brother, next time don't be so impulsive, otherwise you'll lose Hua'er, how can Hua'er live on..."

  Zuo Qinghuan hastily got up and bowed down in front of Lan Qingzhen, saying: "Hui Huan thanks Master Uncle again for saving her life."

  "What's going on? What's all this about?" Lu Chen was slightly stunned, his eyes turned to Lian Qing Zhenren, seeing that his face was somewhat uncertain, seemingly a bit embarrassed and puzzled.

  Lan Qing's eyes sparkled with thought for a moment, and he lightly coughed before saying: "This time we were able to capture the demon, Lu Chen naturally made a contribution. If it wasn't for him sacrificing himself to block the demon and giving me time, I wouldn't have been able to capture the demon either. Lu Chen is my disciple from Qian Yu Men, although he's just an honorary one, I still have the responsibility of protecting him. Let's not mention these words of gratitude again in the future."

  Zuo Qinghe heard this and carefully accepted the teachings, hastily standing up.

  Ling Qing thought for a moment and said: "Alright, Lu Chen is fine now, but he still needs to rest. You all go out first, I have some words to say to Lu Chen."

  The disciples heard this and retreated one after another. Xiaoyao once again reminded Lu Chen to rest well, then she also withdrew.

  The door was closed, and Lian Qing sat on the edge of the bed, frowning as she looked at Lu Chen, not saying a word for half a day.

  Lu Chen looked stunned and asked in a puzzled tone: "Shifu, what's wrong?"

  Ling Qing looked at Lu Chen and handed him a spiritual symbol, saying: "Here, this is from Nan Xingchen for you."

  "Thunderbolt Curse?" Lu Chen looked at it with joy in his heart, muttering to himself: "This Nan Xingchen is quite interesting, heh heh, this Thunderbolt Curse is a good thing. Hmm? Why did he drag Master Uncle over to give it to me?"

  Lu Chen looked at Lan Qing.

  "He's already gone."

  "Oh, he's leaving pretty quickly. Hey, this friend wasn't saved in vain, I suppose he has a conscience."

  Ling Qing looked at Lu Chen and sighed, "The Jiulian Holy Sect is one of the seven sects of the Daoist school, and its disciples are all extraordinary talents. You can make friends with Nan Xingchen, which is a good opportunity. If you have the chance in the future, be sure to maintain it well, as it will be beneficial for your future cultivation."

  It was a kind reminder and also a teaching. Anyway, it was good words. Lu Chen listened to it and nodded his head in agreement.

  "What I want to say is not these." Ling Qing's words took a turn, as if there was something important.

  "I didn't tell anyone about you killing Li Can, the demon child. Do you know why?"

  Lu Chen was slightly stunned, but in fact he had already seen from Left Qing's performance just now that Lan Qing had hidden something from the female disciples, and he didn't understand what it meant, so he didn't ask.

  Lan Qing didn't give Lu Chen a chance to speak, and solemnly asked: "How did you learn to use Taoist magic? Where did so many Taoist symbols come from? A nominal disciple without a master, this is very abnormal."

  "Got it. I understand, guessing again that I stole something." Lu Chen's eyes rolled wildly, unsure of how to respond.

  To be honest, it's impossible, the old man knows he has to rely on himself. What can't be said? How to explain? There's no way to explain, it's simply inexplicable.

  Lu Chen fell silent, and Lian Qing threatened, "Although this matter has not been told to Hui Han and the others, when we return, I still need to report it to the headmaster and the elders. So even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it forever. If you have any secrets, tell me, and I'll spare your talent and help you think of a solution. But if you want to keep hiding, you should know the consequences."

  "I knew it. How could I not know?" Lu Chen sighed and thought to himself: "It seems like I have no choice but to say it."

  He sat up with a flip of his body, staring straight at Lan Qing. After a long while, he finally took out the dusty waist card given to him and handed it over.

  Lan Qing was slightly stunned, took over the token, and took a closer look...

  "Jade... Jade Lake..."

  Jade character generation, that is only the same generation as Zhuang Jiao Zhenren. This…, in an instant, Lan Qing was like being struck by lightning, petrified on the spot.

  "Yu Hu..." Lan Qing murmured to herself, repeating the two words "Yu Hu" over and over again. She would look at Lu Chen for a moment, then glance at her waist badge, thinking that it was probably better this way.

  "Hmph... You're stunned, aren't you?" Lu Chen was secretly pleased, he knew that as long as he took this thing out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

  "I didn't want it to be like this, sigh... A big tree attracts wind...". Obviously being sly, Lu Chen is still secretly pretending to be innocent, indeed not sincere.

  "Cough...". He slowly stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and with a pretentious air of an old man gazing out the window, he said in a very mature tone: "This is a long story, can't be told in detail, but you guessed it right, I am indeed the junior brother of Yu Yang Zhen Ren, and I was taught by Dust Master."

  "Junior brother of the sect leader?" Although he didn't want to believe it, but hearing Lu Chen's high and mighty tone, plus directly calling out the sect leader's name, Lan Qing had no choice but to believe it.

  So...

  Lan Qing hastily stood up and bowed down to the ground with great respect, saying: "Lan Qing has seen Master Shu..."

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren is the master of Qing Yue, Qing Ming, Qing Chuan, Lan Qing and Lan Yu. His junior apprentice brother is naturally their uncle. Although this uncle looks like he hasn't even grown all his hair yet...

  "En." Lu Chen looked very pleased, raised his hand and took back the token, saying: "No need to be polite. Get up."

  "Yes." Up to now, Ling Qingchen finally knew why Lu Chen could achieve such achievements in just a few months. And it was only natural that he possessed countless Taoist symbols and various mysterious skills.

  "My god, he's actually a disciple of Master Dust, how can he be so incompetent?" Lan Qing is now 100% convinced of Lu Chen's abilities.

  Lu Chen is now relieved, he wanted to laugh out loud, but thinking about it again felt inappropriate, so he suppressed his smile and said: "My identity cannot be exposed for the time being, so you did the right thing. When you go back, just say that the demon was eliminated by you, as for me, well, let's just stick with what we said earlier, a small contribution is enough. Don't mention this to Qingyue and Lanyu, or it would go against Master's intentions, you know the consequences."

  Lan Qing's face turned pale and her body trembled with fear. How could she not listen? She hastily bowed her head and obeyed: "Yes, Master..."

  "Cough, alright then, you go out first, I need some rest..." Lu Chen ordered.

  "Yes, Master Uncle, if there's anything else, feel free to instruct..."

  "Alright, alright, I know... you're being considerate..."

  Then, Lian Qingzhen left the room, and it wasn't until that annoying lotus step faded away that Lu Chen finally let out a breath of relief, holding the token and bursting into laughter as he fell onto the bed.

  "Haha, too addicted, Master Uncle, hehe..."

  Vote for me, thank you!
