Chapter 164: Enemies on a Narrow Path
Lao Ma fell silent as well. After a moment, he poured himself a cup of wine from the jar.
“Here, have a drink.” He gently raised the cup to his chest. Lu Chen nodded and took his cup, clinking it with Lao Ma’s.
“I think neither of us can be considered good people,” Lao Ma said with a smile. “Your hands are stained with blood, and I’ve killed people too. But what can we do? We’re on this path; there’s no turning back, is there?”
Lu Chen murmured, “Hmm,” and remained silent.
Lao Ma took another sip of wine and continued lightly, “As for whether you’re ruthless or not, it’s actually meaningless. Does being less ruthless mean others won’t kill you? The remnants of the demon cult who have been wishing to crush your bones into dust for years will let you off?”
Lu Chen laughed and said, “You’re too good at comforting people.”
Lao Ma chuckled and then looked at Lu Chen with a hint of deep meaning. “I find you a bit strange. You used to never ask such questions. Killing was just killing, without a blink. That was the real you. But since you came to Kunlun Mountain, you’ve seemed a bit off.”
He leaned his plump body forward, lowered his voice, and looked at Lu Chen with a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if half-smiling. “So, have you had a change of heart? Wanting to be a good person now?”
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly swore, “To hell with being a good person; I’m someone who specifically kills good people.” He then flipped his hand and slammed the wine cup onto Lao Ma’s head.
