Chapter 63 Casual Chat "What happened just now?" Yu Jitang lowered his voice...
"What happened just now?" Yu Jitang asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Just now, there were clearly two pairs of eyes, a deep green!" Yu Jitang was still in shock.
Wu Chen looked back at Lu Qing and Luo Sen, but didn't notice anything unusual. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yu Jitang rubbed his eyes, and seeing that there was no longer any abnormality, he wondered, "Could it be that I stayed up all night and my eyes are blurry?"
Wu Chen interrupted him, "What's going on outside?"
Yu Jitang's thoughts were diverted. "I knew those two guys were holding back. Turns out they planned to use these people as scapegoats. These rogue cultivators and members of small families patiently waited to get there first, sneaking in under the cover of night. I wonder what they encountered. Many of them just let out a scream and then fell silent." Yu Jitang couldn't help but think of a conspiracy. "Could it be that those two guys hid people here, killing anyone who comes in? Otherwise, we've been here for days, how come we haven't encountered anything?"
Wu Chen shook his head. “No. I saw people fighting with powerful demons here. There are indeed many demons here. Perhaps it's because of where we're hiding that we haven't encountered any. Zou Buming arrived first but refused to come in, probably because he knows how dangerous this place is. Could it be that he's been here before? Otherwise, how would he know so much about it? Or perhaps the priest told him?”
Yu Jitang lowered his head and thought for a moment, “Although we took some detours on our way here, it was actually quite fast. Even so, it would probably take more than a year to travel back and forth between the Divine Palace and Xiyuan. As far as I know, Zou Buming has never been away from the Divine Palace for this long. You know the Zou family; they always act in a high-profile manner, treating him like a precious dragon egg, afraid of him getting hurt, and he's always surrounded by a large group of people wherever he goes. I don't think he's ever been here. But then again, with so many experts and elders in the Zou family, it wouldn't be surprising at all if someone had scouted ahead for him here.”
Wu Chen nodded, finding his analysis quite reasonable.
"However, he initially held back, letting these people go in and die on their own. What exactly is he trying to do?" Yu Jitang carefully observed the outside. Some of those who had sneaked in under the cover of night no longer cared about concealing their presence; they activated their magical artifacts and desperately fled outwards.
"Just wait and see." Wu Chen dragged Lu Qing back to the depths of the cave to rest, not forgetting to instruct, "You keep watch well tonight."
Yu Jitang gritted his teeth. Seeing everyone yawning and walking inside, he grabbed Wu Yan and pulled her over. "Besides turning into a human, can you turn into a bird or beast, a demon or monster?"
I'm so ashamed I could cry: What do you all take me for?
"Can you?" Yu Jitang urged it.
Wu Yan nodded, "Yes, I can transform into anything. It's just that those with higher cultivation levels than me are easier for them to see through."
"Hey, as long as you can transform, that's fine." Yu Jitang's interest was piqued. "You transform into an ant and go to Zou Buming's tent to listen to what they're discussing."
Wu Chen, inside, whispered to stop him, "Stop making a fuss. Since Zou Buming let them in, he'll naturally put on a good show. Now that it's pitch black, who's he going to perform for? Don't alert them... Go to sleep." The first part of his speech sounded quite helpless, but the last two were spoken gently and in a low voice, clearly not directed at Yu Jitang.
Yu Jitang found it extremely cheesy and couldn't help but shudder.
Unable to bear seeing him like this, she lowered her voice and said, "You also think those two are not a good match, right?"
Yu Jitang rolled his eyes at it. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as a lecherous devil, sticking to his principles and remaining unyielding. However, night watch was really boring, and he was happy to find some amusement. "Is that what you're thinking?"
Wu Yan sat down cross-legged next to Yu Jitang, a look on his face that said, "I've seen it all." "Who doesn't love beauty? Every instance of love at first sight is driven by lust. Men, regardless of their looks, will like beautiful women, that..."
Without fear, he glanced back and saw no response from inside. He guessed that the four people inside were probably resting, so he became a little bolder, but lowered his voice even further.
"That Wu Chen is the most beautiful human cultivator I've ever seen. Even demon cultivators and monsters who transform into men have human form, but lack spirit. Most of them can't hide their bestial nature. Even those great demons look fierce and menacing. It's rare to find someone so majestic without being ferocious, handsome without being effeminate, like the spring sun, warm and bright, like the sea, vast and deep..."
Wu Yan spoke with shining eyes, talking non-stop.
Yu Jitang looked around, then asked in a low voice, "What about me? How do I look?"
Yu Jitang was tall and slender with a beautiful face, but compared to Wu Chen, he lacked some masculine vigor.
Wu Yan disliked this woman's appearance, and his eyes betrayed his disgust. However, being under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to submit. He could only reluctantly say, "You're beautiful too."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jitang immediately thought of the phrase "You are the most beautiful," which made him so angry that he picked up Wu Yan and shoved her into a small hole to the side.
Wu Yan whimpered in fright, and Yu Jitang pulled it out again, threatening, "Shut up."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Wu Yan curled up into a ball, feeling wronged. "They're talking about serious business!"
Yu Jitang was amused by it, "Get back to business, tell me!"
Wu Yan wiped away her tears and said, "Look at Lu Qing. By your human standards, even you can't honestly say that she's incredibly beautiful."
Yu Jitang said frankly, "I think she's like a chilled lotus root starch dumpling. Wu Shen probably likes that kind of thing."
"I don't believe it." Wu Yan secretly wiped her snot on the corner of his clothes as revenge for his "abuse" of her earlier. "By your human standards, Lu Qing's looks are at most just that people think she's not bad. As for making someone fall deeply in love, you'd have to dig a deep pit for that love and it would take time. Tell me, how long have they known each other?"
Yu Jitang was taken aback. Three years ago, Wu Chen certainly wouldn't have known Lu Qing. Given his attitude towards Lu Qing, it was hard to imagine that Wu Chen, who sat unmoved atop Nukun Peak, would have such a person in his heart. Since they hadn't spent that much time together, when, where, and why did Wu Chen develop such deep feelings for Lu Qing?
"Look, when a man falls in love with a woman, it's either because of love at first sight or because of love that grows over time. If it's neither of those, then he must be after one of them. What do you think is there to gain from Lu Qing?" The Faceless Clan has always regarded appearance as the highest standard for everything, and they treat anything that violates this principle with utmost suspicion.
Yu Jitang pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, slapped Wuyan twice, almost sending him flying back into the cave. "What you said makes a lot of sense. But your suspicions are wrong."
"Why?" Wu Yan asked, unconvinced.
“Because Wu Chen isn’t that kind of person. If I didn’t trust him, I wouldn’t be friends with him.”
Deep inside the cave, Lu Qing, who was eavesdropping, curled her lip and said to Wu Chen, "He misjudged him."
Wu Chen chuckled and patted her head. "I already told you not to bring up the past."
"Hmph." Lu Qing turned her head, which was resting on his lap, and said, "I will never renege on my debts, even if it takes ten thousand years."
Wu Chen sighed, "Tolerance is a virtue; you can learn from it."
"What if I can't learn it?" Lu Qing pinched his waist with her fingers.
Wu Chen immediately said, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. Self-reflection is also a virtue, and I can learn from it."
Lu Qing laughed.
Taking the opportunity, Wu Chen said, "Go to sleep quickly. Knowing Zou Buming's usual style, he will definitely put on a show when the sun rises tomorrow. You should get some rest; there will be a good show to watch tomorrow."
