Chapter 156: A Mutual Understanding
Lying in the small grass hut, Lu Chen rested his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, seemingly at peace. It was as if the events outside had nothing to do with him anymore. As noon passed, everything quieted down, and the Feiyan Platform seemed to return to its usual state.
At this moment, a sudden knocking sounded at the hut’s door. Lu Chen got up and opened it, finding Su Qingjun standing outside. He smiled and asked, “All done?”
Su Qingjun smiled back, “Yes, my master has left.”
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, nodding. He glanced around his modest hut and said, “This place is so small and shabby; it’s cramped with two people standing inside. I won’t invite you in.”
Su Qingjun peeked inside the hut and was slightly taken aback. “Oh, it’s not very nice, is it?”
Lu Chen rolled his eyes. “This hut is on your Feiyan Platform. Didn’t you know?”
Su Qingjun replied, “I really didn’t. The people from the Hundred Herbs Hall built it. You don’t expect me to have specially built a house for you, right? Besides, I don’t know how to do that.”
Lu Chen nodded, thinking that if Su Qingjun had built it, the hut might have been spacious and comfortable. But the people from the Hundred Herbs Hall didn’t respect the menial disciples, so they only cared about maintaining the hawk fruit tree and didn’t put any effort into his hut. He was lucky to have a place to lie down.
Feeling awkward speaking through the door, Lu Chen stepped outside, and the two stood on the ridge by the spirit field. A gentle breeze blew, and the sight of floating white clouds in the distance made them feel refreshed.
