1683. Chapter one thousand six hundred eighty third
Although he was the elder of Zhenwu Sect, Pei Huajun's posture was very low in front of Lin Chong.
Ning Zheng, who was standing behind Pei Huajun, looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a vague loss in his eyes. He silently looked away so that others would not notice the fluctuations in his heart.
"No malice? For the overall situation?"
Di Yuncheng wrapped his arms around his chest, his tone was cold, and he even felt a little sarcastic: "Elder Pei, don't say anything high-sounding, no one will believe it."
When Pei Huajun heard this, he was silent for a moment and slowly stood up straight.
His eyes crossed Di Yuncheng's shoulders, fell on Lin Chong's face, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I am only responsible for sending messages. If you are dissatisfied, you can explain it to the sect leader in person. Why bother me?"
Seeing that Pei Huajun ignored him, Di Yuncheng raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but immediately held it back.
Compared to being quick to speak, it is undoubtedly more important to understand the intentions of the Zhenwu Sect.
What's more, as Lin Chong's subordinate, even if he wants to show his loyalty, he should stop at the right time. If he continues to interfere in his affairs, he will be suspected of losing the main person.
About three or four seconds later, Lin Chong finally spoke: "Lead the way."
Lin Chong's attitude was quite cold, but Pei Huajun breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried that Lin Chong would reject him, but fortunately that thing did not happen.
"please."
Pei Huajun stood sideways and reached out to lead him.
Lin Chong walked out, Di Yuncheng, Ouyang Chun and others were about to get on, and Pei Huajun stopped him with his arms and smiled and said, "The master of the sect only invites Mr. Lin Chong, please wait here."
Ouyang Chun's two steel-like eyebrows suddenly stood up, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, as if he was about to dig two holes into Pei Huajun's body.
Di Yuncheng also looked unhappy and asked with a stern face: "What does Elder Pei mean? If we don't let us follow us, what if you plan to be unfavorable to Your Excellency Lin Chong?"
"President Di is too worried."
Pei Huajun's smile remained unchanged, and his feet were nailed to the spot as if they had a root: "The Zhenwu Sect and Lord Lin Chong have no personal grudges. I just obey the orders of the sect leader."
"Although the status of the Lord Lu Sect is respectful, he still cannot order us."
Di Yuncheng narrowed his eyes, clasped his fists at Lin Chong's back, and said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, I doubt that there is any conspiracy hidden in Zhenwu Sect. Please don't take risks."
“It’s okay.”
Lin Chong paused for a moment and said lightly: "You go to the lounge downstairs to wait for me, and I will go back."
After saying that, Lin Chong walked straight out of the hall.
There was no need for Pei Huajun to lead the way. Lu Guichen's breath was as bright as a torch in the darkness in Lin Chong's perception, guiding him.
Pei Huajun and Ning Zheng, Long Zhu, Xu Guo and others behind him also stayed there, watching Lin Chong gradually drift away and disappear at the end of the corridor.
Lin Chong walked along the way. Wherever he went, the warriors who had just left the hall avoided both sides, and at the same time bowed their heads and eyebrows to show respect.
After passing through the corridor that was more than a hundred meters long, Lin Chong stopped outside a wooden door. His keen perception told him that Lu Guichen was inside, and seemed to be alone.
Without hesitation, Lin Chong pushed open the door open simply and neatly.
Lu Guichen's tall figure came into Lin Chong's eyes. He was still wearing the indigo-green long gown, carrying his hands on his back, standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the distance intently.
Lin Chong entered the room, closed the door casually, then walked to the left of Lu Guichen, keeping a three-meter distance from the latter, and did not speak for a long time.
"I heard that you have had a separate conversation with Du Huaizhen?" Lu Guichen looked ahead and asked leisurely.
Lin Chong felt that there was no need to answer this question, so he remained silent.
"I know more than anyone else what kind of person Du Huaizhen is, so I'm very curious now why he looked up to you." Lu Guichen said to himself.
A light flashed in Lin Chong's eyes, and he suddenly turned around and left.
He is about to face extremely difficult challenges and may even endanger his life, so he does not want to waste his time on such meaningless chat.
"I'll give you a chance."
Lu Guichen seemed to have expected Lin Chong's reaction and said without looking back: "As long as you can convince me, Zhenwu Sect can choose to stay out of the matter and not help each other."
Lin Chong paused, thought about it carefully, returned to his original position and stood still, turning his head to look at Lu Guichen's side face: "How can I convince you?"
"Satisfied my curiosity."
Lu Guichen wrapped his arms around his chest, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, if it weren't for the martial arts world, it wouldn't matter to me who would choose to be the leader of the Wu League. Anyway, no matter who comes to power, the Zhenwu Sect is as stable as Mount Tai."
"What do you want to know?"
"the truth."
Lu Guichen withdrew his gaze from afar, and his eyes gradually became deeper: "I have investigated you, but the more I investigated, the more mysteries there are, the more I have covered you. I want to hear your personal answer, what is your relationship with Du Huaizhen?"
Lin Chong thought for a moment and gave Lu Guichen an answer that surprised him: "I have never met before, and I am a fellow disciple."
"You, are you really a fellow disciple of Du Huai?"
Even though Lu Guichen was so envious, he couldn't help but look strange at this moment: "How much do you know about him? Do you really know what kind of person he is?"
"In Du Huaizhen's eyes, practice is above everything else, and all kinds of the world are like passing clouds and smoke."
Lin Chong seemed not to hear the irony contained in Lu Guichen's words: "He pursues great transcendence and great freedom. If he can reach the other side of martial arts, everything can be abandoned, including the emotions of his masters, brothers, friends and even his own, right?"
Lu Guichen's expression gradually became serious.
"What can you explain to the fellows?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and strange light flowed in his eyes, and his whole body emitted an inexplicable sense of danger.
“Is it difficult to understand?”
For some reason, Lin Chong suddenly smiled, his smile was very light, but it added a little charm to him: "I have seen many strong people, including Yu Miaoce and Chen Hanzhou before, and now Du Huaizhen and You. Aren't anyone who pursues the peak of martial arts all fellow men on the long road?"
After listening to Lin Chong's words, Lu Guichen stared at him for a long time.
Lin Chong's expression was calm and calm, allowing Lu Guichen to look at it casually, and his eyebrows did not even tremble.
After a while, Lu Guichen looked away. The dangerous aura in his body disappeared, but the strange light in his eyes became even more intense, and his pupils were faintly golden: "I admit that you have a strong heart, but this reason is not enough to convince me."
"The so-called heart of a strong person is just an obsession with desire to become stronger. There are thousands of reasons for retreating, but there is only one reason for moving forward."
Lin Chong remembered the words Du Huaizhen had asked him, which was most appropriate to use here, so he whispered: "Is it worth it to be born in the morning and die in the evening, and the plants and trees flourish in spring and wither in autumn?"
