Then, Zhou Xiao asked tentatively: "Brother, if I do choose to help that old man, my starting point is not because I see injustice, but because of other reasons."
"So for someone like me, is it still for justice?"
"You've helped others? How could it not be for justice?" Lu Chen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he answered seriously:
"Of course, forget it. Didn't Master say something? A gentleman is judged by deeds rather than intentions. No matter what, you have really helped others."
"That alone is enough."
"A gentleman is judged by deeds rather than the heart..." Zhou Xiao pondered, and seemed to start thinking about the reason.
Seeing Zhou Xiao in a daze, Lu Chen quickly changed the subject and said:
"Oh, let's not think about this for now. Senior brother, let me ask you, what do you think of my behavior just now?"
Seeing Zhou Xiao shook his head, Lu Chen smiled knowingly and said:
"That's not unexpected to me, but Junior Brother, you have to remember that people like that must be severely punished. If you don't..."
...
...
"No, Senior Brother, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that you shouldn't let that guy go, but should kill him directly."
Zhou Xiao spoke so confidently that Lu Chen was stunned. After a long while, he smiled awkwardly and said:
"Well, it seems that your level of thinking is still higher than that of me, your senior brother."
…
The two of them then wandered around the city for a while, and only decided to return to the sect when the sun was about to set.
Lu Chen and the other man were walking on the forest trail. Suddenly, Zhou Xiao remembered something and asked curiously to Lu Chen, who was standing aside with a calm expression:
"Brother, the guy whose tendons we cut just now said he wanted to go back and find someone to take revenge on us."
Lu Chen snorted disdainfully, and then said:
"Come on, are you going to listen to that guy's bragging? Even if he really dares to retaliate against us, with his limited strength, do you think he can do it?"
And just as Lu Chen finished speaking, a voice sounded from the darkness:
"I'm really not very good, so I'm calling for help."
In an instant, several cultivators rushed out and surrounded Lu Chen and Zhou Xiao.
Then, the cultivator whose tendons were cut by Lu Chen just now stood up and looked at the two of them proudly:
"What? I'm here now, do you believe it?"
Looking at the people who surrounded them, Lu Chen and Zhou Xiao's expressions became solemn.
Zhou Xiao checked the cultivation of several people, his heart sank, and he whispered to Lu Chen beside him:
"Brother, there are quite a few Jindan-stage cultivators here."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yeah, I saw that."
A man with a crew cut touched his head, then looked at the young monk with an unhappy expression and said:
"Hey, Old Chen, why did you invite these two little brats to us? I thought they were some genius from the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect."
The young monk smiled awkwardly and then explained:
"Brother, don't underestimate these two little brats because they are so young. Their cultivation is really extraordinary. They cut my tendons with just one sword strike."
Seeing this, the monk with a crew cut also showed some curiosity on his face.
"No way? You are a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, how can you be embarrassed by these two kids?"
Lu Chen felt a little unhappy. He cursed inwardly and then asked:
"Hey? Do you want to fight or not? If you want to fight, then do it. If you don't want to fight, then get out of my way."
Zhou Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to Lu Chen:
"Brother, I think at this moment, instead of bragging, we should just beg for mercy."
The monk with the crew cut showed a hint of surprise on his face, then grinned and said:
"Okay, you're not very old, but you're quite arrogant."
"Okay, today I will really teach you two little brats what it means that there are always people who are better than you!"
After saying that, the cultivators who surrounded the two of them instantly rushed towards Lu Chen and Zhou Xiao.
Lu Chen looked at the enemy charging at him, he drew out his wooden sword, and then said to Zhou Xiao with a serious expression:
"Junior brother, when you find a chance, you run first, and I will block it here."
Zhou Xiao looked hesitant. He really wanted to agree right away, but at this moment, if he left Lu Chen behind and ran away alone, he wouldn't know how to explain it when he returned.
Helplessly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't run! I don't believe these guys dare to kill us!"
Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled:
"You have a conscience, come on!"
After saying that, the two sides immediately engaged in battle, and the sound of countless swords clashing could be heard in the dense forest.
…
At the same time, Lin Hongye, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
She immediately ended her practice, rubbed her brows, and frowned:
"That's not right. Why would I feel uneasy for no reason?"
Lin Hongye has always believed in her intuition. After all, she has lived two lives as a human being, and her soul is much stronger than that of other cultivators.
Now that Lin Hongye had raised his brows, this bad omen naturally made him worried.
Feeling anxious, she no longer wanted to practice and left the cave.
Lin Hongye came to the outside of Lu Chen's cave and shouted, "Xiao Lu! Xiao Lu! Are you back?!"
There was no response from Lu Chen's cave, so Lin Hongye had no choice but to go to Zhou Xiao's cave.
She also shouted outside Zhou Xiao's cave, but still heard no response.
Lin Hongye couldn't help but frown and muttered, "What's going on? These two guys haven't come back yet."
Helplessly, she came to Lin Yang's cave and shouted, and after a while she called Lin Yang out.
"Hongye, why are you yelling so late at night? Your master is still recuperating."
Lin Yang limped out. Zhang Xianfeng had beaten him up a few days ago, and Lin Yang has not recovered yet.
Lin Hongye ignored Lin Yang's complaints and said anxiously:
"Master, Xiao Lu and Xiao Xiao haven't returned yet. Did something happen?"
Lin Yang was not too worried about this, he just shrugged and explained:
"What's the big deal? Maybe these two guys are playing in the sect and don't want to come back."
"Impossible, Master. They don't have any playmates in the sect, and they will definitely know to return to the peak at this late hour."
Lin Yang thought about it. Although Zhou Xiao and Lu Chen both had the bodies of children, they both had the souls of adults. If nothing happened, it would be impossible for them not to return to the sect so late at night and cause people to worry.
His eyes narrowed, and his tone became serious: "Alright, let's look inside the sect first. If we can't find it, we can look outside the sect."
Lin Hongye nodded, and then the two of them left Chiyang Peak and began to search all over the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect.
…
At the same time, the battle in the dense forest was coming to an end.
