TY Chapter 21: Disciple of a Reputable Sect
Hong Chuan was slightly astonished as well. Only after a brief moment did he continue, Looks like this is the only plausible explanation. That being said, Brother Lu, you have been living in this village for quite awhile. Have you heard of any legend about the mysterious fish in the Dragon Lake?
Lu Chen shook his head. I have never heard of it. Dragon Lake and Dragon Pool, other than those awe-inspiring name, there has never been anything that happened in these lakes all these years. They are just like a puddle of dead water, no one has ever saw mysterious fishes.
Somehow, just before the last two words, he stopped abruptly for a brief moment.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Hong Chuan sighed, not noticing this anomaly. Then, with a relieved tone, he said, No matter what, I really have to thank you, Brother Lu. Otherwise, I really might have died in grievance just like that.
Lu Chen chuckled, It is just a small matter, you dont have to think too much of it. Right, what plans do you have? Do you still intend to go to the Dragon Lake to investigate the matter?
Hong Chuan contemplated for a moment and shook his head, There is something weird about that giant fish in the Dragon Lake. With my current level of cultivation, I doubt that I am capable of subduing it. So for the time being, I dont intend on seeking it. If there is a chance in the future, I will invite some of my powerful seniors over to look into the matter.
Lu Chen nodded his head and replied, Thats good.
Hong Chuan climbed down the bed and tried walking around the house. Looking at his movements, Lu Chen asked, How are your injuries?
Hong Chuan replied, It shouldnt be a big problem. Its just that I suffered a little bit of trauma, causing my blood flow to become erratic. I should be able to recover with a days rest.
Lu Chen smiled, Thats for the best. How about this, since you have already rested here for the night, you might as well stay here for the day. Tomorrow, when the sun rises, I will accompany you to the chasm so that you can accomplish your task. This way, you wont have to worry about getting lost.
Hong Chuan leaped with joy immediately. His face even turned slightly red from embarrassment as he exclaimed, Brother Lu, are you serious? I, I
Then, Lu Chen laughed dryly and said, You might have lost it in the water yesterday night. Are there any important items inside that went missing?
In this instant, Hong Chuans face turned so red that it was on the verge of becoming purple. From the look of his face, he seemed to feel so ashamed that he almost wanted to draw his sword to kill himself.
Looking at the sight, Lu Chen began to worry for him. Fortunately, Hong Chuan didnt seem that inflexible. After a short moment, with a tearful face, he said, There isnt any important items inside. However That I Sigh, Im really sorry to Brother Lu!
Lu Chen looked at his depressed face. It was a little hilarious, but somehow, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Then, he shook his head and replied warmly, Brother Hong, do I look like a greedy person?
Hong Chuan was surprised and immediately raised his head to interject, No no no, I dont mean that!
Lu Chen smiled, If thats so, there is no need for you to be so depressed. For us to meet in such a big world, it could be called a type of fate. So, why should you get upset over mere monetary fortune. Come, let me bring you to the village to have some good wine. To get drunk with an acquaintance, it is a type of joy in life.
On those words, he stood up with a smile and guided Hong Chuan out of the straw cottage, all the way straight to Old Mas tavern.
Hong Chuan looked at Lu Chen from the back. For a moment, he didnt know what to say. Complex emotions could be seen in his eyes. Lu Chen looked like a mere mortal and in comparison, he was a disciple of a reputable sect. Their social positions were so extremely distant from one another. But somehow, in that instant, Lu Chens back seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.
Walking past the clear stream, a thought flashed through his mind suddenly: Could he be one of the talented people in this world whom father once talked about? For such a person to be buried in a rural village, it is such a pity.
Naturally, Lu Chen wouldnt know the thoughts of the embarrassed Hong Chuan who was following behind him. Actually, Lu Chen and Hong Chuan had unintentionally forgotten a fact. That was, as long as it was a mortal, there wasnt anyone would face a cultivator so calmly. That was because of the wide gap between their strength as well as their social position.
However, to Lu Chen, everything cant be more natural. He acted so naturally that even Hong Chuan didnt notice. In fact, he did not even find anything amiss with the situation.
