Lu Ziqi casually waved her hand and took out a table, a small stool, and some fruits and snacks from her spatial ring.
She actually planned to eat while listening to the story.
Lu Chen almost laughed out of anger when he saw this scene.
However, the plan cannot go wrong.
At this moment, I must remain calm, because if this gets out, my life may be in danger.
It has to be convincing.
Lu Chen suppressed the urge to laugh and looked at the beautiful master in front of him with a serious expression, saying, "Because of you."
"What what?"
Lu Ziqi, who had just taken a bite of pastry, was stunned when she heard this. She quickly swallowed what was in her mouth, stared at Lu Chen, and felt extremely strange.
"I said, it's all because of you, Master."
Lu Chen repeated it directly, this time without any hesitation, appearing extremely determined.
Lu Ziqi glared at him fiercely and said, "What does this have to do with me? You unfilial disciple, are you trying to rebel?"
"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."
Lu Chen looked disappointed and turned his head away, seemingly not wanting to talk to her anymore.
The more she said this, the more puzzled Lu Ziqi became.
"You must tell me, or I'll get angry."
Lu Ziqi adopted her status as a master and issued a forceful order.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Let's make this clear first: no matter what I say, Master, you can't get angry. Otherwise, I'd rather not say anything."
"Okay, okay! I'm not angry."
Lu Ziqi's curiosity was piqued instead.
Lu Chen let out a long sigh, glanced at Lu Ziqi, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke a sentence that made Lu Ziqi crack on the spot.
"Do you know why I was unwilling to become your disciple before? Because... I saw you a long, long time ago."
"ah?"
Lu Ziqi looked completely bewildered. She thought and thought, staring at Lu Chen again and again, but she couldn't remember when she had ever seen him before. But looking at Lu Chen's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
"You've seen me? When? Where? Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Ziqi thought back carefully and realized that she hadn't really left the Xuanwu Academy much. Since she started cultivating, she had always stayed here and rarely went out.
Unless the Xuanwu Academy is undertaking some major operation, it will not dispatch a highly capable elder to handle the situation.
However, the sect leader always entrusted such matters to other elders, and did not trust himself.
Lu Ziqi was well aware of this; although she really wanted to go out and have fun, she had been constantly warned not to leave.
When did this kid ever see me? I have absolutely no recollection of it.
Lu Chen knew he was in trouble when he saw her expression.
There's a vulnerability.
This story needs to be made more believable.
