Chapter 18 (1/2)
“Shoo shoo shoo, you are not a wo to smile at me for a day?” Lu Chen snorts He casually sits on one of the chairs facing the counter and leans forward
Old Ma stares at hihtly and asks solemnly, “What happened?”
Lu Chen suppresses his voice and speaks The voice is so hushed such that it couldn’t even be heard clearly even in the quiet tavern Perhaps, only Old Ma who is at close proximity to him can hear those words clearly
As Old Ma listens, his face suddenly darkens He sits up straight and ponders for a lances at Lu Chen and says, “Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”
Lu Chen replies plainly, “That incident that happened in there back then, what else would I have not seen before?”
Old Ma nods his head and continues asking with a hushed voice, “Of what tier is that secret e?”
Lu Chen frowns After thinking for a short moment, he replies, “That is quite a weird location There is a tree with two leaves on the secret zhu‘ in the demonic cult”
Old Ma’s expressions lightens as he says, “Fro for you? Could it be the re into this location to recruit new members?”
Lu Chen humphs and says, “Isn’t this too coincidental?”
Old Ma nods his head and says, “I got it I will investigate it thoroughly, so rest easy However, didn’t the Thousand Autumn Doors kill a hidden reo, perhaps the members of the demonic cult are here for it?”
Lu Chen shrugs and replies, “I hope so Anyway, be careful about this matter”
Old Ma replies, “Rest easy”
Lu Chen stands up and prepares to leave However, just when he is about to step away, he stops yet again He turns around to look at Old Ma, “There’s still another matter Help me look into it while you’re at it”
Old Ma says, “What is it?”
Lu Chen says, “There see scholar who just arrived at the opposite bank of the strea I have never round of that man”
“Oh” Old Ma replies, “Got it, it’s just a small matter”
The sky darkens and there is nothing but silence
Yet another night has arrived and the se descends into its slumber It seems exceptionally cold and lonely under the embrace of the darkness
Lu Chen lies on his bed in the straw cottage The interior of the cottage is pitch black
He closes his eyes, but he couldn’t fall asleep
In silence, huhts isn’t so humans are able to control Thus, even if it is ed up uncontrollably
Despite not being a dream, the htmare that is hard to awake froony, sometimes shrieks of pain, sometimes the cold flash of a sword and so pain Of course, the one that conquers most of all is the furious dance of the black flames
He opens his eyes in the darkness and shakes his head in an atte around, a wind starts to pick up outside the straw cottage That is the mountainous breeze which blon froht Lu Chen concentrates for a moment and there seems to be some some distortions in the sound
