Chapter 23
"Xiao Chen, come back with me tonight. Lao Lu wants us to go back for dinner."
Su Chen looked at the text message from Lu Xiaoye on his phone and replied, "OK."
After finishing all this, Su Chen immediately opened the game Cultivation of Immortality.
[Name: Su Chen (Taichu Divine Sect's servant disciple)]
[Qualifications: High-grade mixed spiritual roots (gold, wood, water, fire, earth)]
[Cultivation: Qi gathering stage, third level (3200/20000)]
[Current experience value: 2151]
"I can gain 50 experience points in one game day. After reaching the high-grade spiritual root, my cultivation efficiency has indeed improved a lot."
"This way, game characters no longer have to waste time completing sect missions and can just stick to their daily routines."
Thinking of this, he modified the game character's idle mode and adjusted its daily idle task to "meditation and cultivation.".
After doing all this, he stood up and walked outside the training room.
Jiangnan City, Xingfu Community.
"Lao Lu, I'm back!"
"Wow, Lao Lu, did you win the lottery? You made so many delicious dishes today!"
As soon as Lu Xiaoye entered the house, she smelled the rich aroma of rice and shouted excitedly. Then she kicked off her shoes without even putting on her slippers and ran to the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to eat.
But before her chopsticks fell, a figure appeared silently behind her and hit her on the back of the head with a knife.
"Well..."
Lu Xiaoye covered her head in pain and said dissatisfiedly, "Old Lu, why did you hit me?"
Uncle Lu, who was wrapped in an apron, stood behind her and said unhappily, "The guests haven't even touched their chopsticks; why are you doing that?"
"Also, you can't call me Lao Lu? You have no respect for elders."
"Xiao Chen is not an outsider; why should you be so particular...?"
Although she said that, Lu Xiaoye still put down her chopsticks obediently. Unlike his strict attitude towards Lu Xiaoye, unclean Lu was much kinder towards Su Chen.
"Xiao Chen is here? Please wait a moment; we can have dinner after a few more dishes."
Su Chen said politely, "Sorry to bother you, Uncle Lu."
"Of course not. If you weren't here, with her hot-tempered temper, I don't know how much trouble she would have gotten into at school."
"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? I am a genius in No. 1 High School. I am the one who protects Xiao Chen in school, okay?"
Hearing this, Uncle Lu said with a look of disdain: "You are just lucky; you awakened your innate magical power without knowing why. Otherwise, what can you use to compete with Xiao Chen? Your brain that can get lost in your neighborhood?"
"ah!"
Seeing that her father was talking about her poor direction again, Lu Xiaoye became anxious.
"Old Lu, let me warn you, I was not directionally lost that time. I just didn't want to go home so early."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I don't know who is sitting on the ground, crying and saying she can't find her home."
"Humph, I won't talk to an old stubborn person like you anymore; it's boring."
Lu Xiaoye turned around and ran to the living room to watch a TV series.
Seeing her impetuous look, Su Chen and Uncle Lu couldn't help but laugh.
Then Su Chen rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
"Uncle Lu, let me help you."
"Okay, then you take care of the two-spirit fish I just bought, and I'll make you a bowl of pickled fish to replenish your body."
Su Chen nodded and skillfully processed the two-spirit fish on the chopping board.
Uncle Lu was stewing the meat in the pot while chatting with him.
"How have you been at school recently? Did Xiao Ye give you any trouble?"
"It's fine, Uncle Lu; you don't have to worry."
"Ah, it's not that I like to talk too much, Uncle Lu, but look at what a jerk that girl has done. She even fought with her classmates in her first year of high school. Who does she think she is? A devil?"
"I don't know whose personality this girl inherited. How can a girl like to fight so much?"
Su Chen comforted him, "But we can't blame her for all those things, right?"
"You're right. The person that girl hit deserved to be beaten. Besides, as a father, I can't criticize my daughter in front of outsiders."
"But you need to change your impetuous temper; otherwise, you will suffer in the future after you leave school."
While Su Chen was dealing with the spirit fish, he smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, you don't have to worry so much. With Xiao Ye's talent, there won't be many people who can beat her in the future. She won't suffer any loss."
Hearing this, Uncle Lu changed his disdainful expression towards Lu Xiaoye and said proudly, "Of course not. Don't you see whose daughter this is?"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Lu gradually fell silent, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing this, Su Chen seemed to have guessed something.
"Uncle Lu, you asked me to come here today. It shouldn't be just for dinner, right?"
Uncle Lu looked at Lu Xiaoye, who was still happily watching TV in the living room, and then whispered, "You and Xiaoye should not run around during this period; just stay in school."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Uncle Lu hesitated for a moment but decided to tell Su Chen some information.
"I can't tell you the specifics. I can only say that there has been some movement in Jiangnan City recently, and it's related to what happened ten years ago."
"The Black Lotus Cult appears again?"
Su Chen's pupils shrank, and then his eyes became deep.
"Uncle Lu, tell me honestly, are those beasts from the Black Lotus Sect showing up again?"
Uncle Lu did not respond directly but remained silent.
But sometimes, silence is also an answer.
Seeing this, Su Chen's thoughts gradually returned to that night ten years ago.
On that day, the entire Jiangnan City was filled with fire and screams. Countless demons broke through the boundary markers outside Jiangnan City, turning the place into a hell on earth.
Su Chen still can't forget the scene of that day, nor can he forget that group of crazy Black Lotus followers.
"Uncle Lu, if this matter is related to the Black Lotus Sect, I hope you can tell me something when the time comes."
"It's been ten years... these rats in the gutter have finally come out again."
"Xiao Chen..."
Uncle Lu looked at Su Chen, but there were some things he couldn't say in the end.
"Uncle Lu, don't worry. I won't do anything stupid. I am not qualified to ask them for the debt from ten years ago."
After saying this, Su Chen focused on cleaning the spirit fish after scraping its scales.
But he looked absent-minded, obviously thinking about something.
The Black Lotus Sect is one of the three major evil sects in the Kyushu Immortal Alliance.
There are good and bad people in the sect, including monks who defected from the Immortal Alliance as well as some unknown alien races and demons.
The leader, Holy Mother Black Lotus, is not only the most wanted criminal in the Kyushu Immortal Alliance.
She is also one of the rare cultivators in the Divine Soul Transformation Stage in the entire Kyushu.
If it weren't for this, the Black Lotus Sect would have been conquered by the great monks of the Kyushu Immortal Alliance long ago.
Ten years ago, some Black Lotus followers came to Jiangnan City and created the brutal battle that destroyed the city.
If the Kyushu Immortal Alliance had not responded in time, Jiangnan City might have ceased to exist by now.
After investigation, it was found out that the Black Lotus Cult wanted to stir up such turmoil in Jiannan City.
Its purpose seems to be to find something in Jiangnan City.
After so many years, Su Chen thought that the Black Lotus Cult might continue to hide.
But now it seems that they are still unwilling to give up on something in Jiangnan City.
Su Chen didn't care what that thing was. The only thing he cared about was whether he would have the chance to meet these beasts again.
Especially the guardian of the Black Lotus Sect who is in the golden elixir stage... the White Bone Taoist.
Bang!
In the kitchen, Su Chen placed the cleaned spirit fish on the chopping board and grabbed the kitchen knife next to it.
In the past, he and the Black Lotus Cult were at the mercy of others.
But after he got the help of "cultivation of immortality,".
Even if he still cannot shake the foundation of the Black Lotus Sect in a short period of time, as long as he is given some more time.
The roles of the knife and the fish may have to be reversed.
As he was thinking, Su Chen chopped off the spirit fish's head with his knife...
Some things will always come to an end one day.
And before that day comes, he will do everything possible to become stronger.
Try to get back what you suffered back then, with interest.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge... ten years later.
"Okay, go call the girl to come for dinner."
"good."
