Lei Luo's silence conveyed his attitude silently. Orochimaru was too sensible to ask further questions, and the two parties fell into a strange state of silence.
Unconsciously, Lei Luo bent down slightly, interlaced the fingers of his hands, rested the tips of his elbows on his knees, and pressed the back of his hands against his chin from bottom to top.
He kept frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
But if you look carefully, you will find that his pupils are slightly dilated, making him look slightly absent-minded.
Since Orochimaru was sitting opposite Lei Luo, he keenly noticed the other person's eyes.
A long time passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe...
In short, the sunlight shining in from the outside has disappeared, and the inside of the tent has gradually become dark, with only the faint moonlight providing a little light.
Night falls quietly, and the cicadas chirp in the distance from time to time, reminding me that the afterglow of summer has not completely faded away.
Although, it is already August.
When he noticed the moonlight passing through the corners of his eyes, Lei Luo's eyes narrowed and he stood up abruptly.
'We have to wait a little longer... now is not the time.' He said silently to himself, finally bringing an end to this lengthy period of thinking.
With the improvement of abilities and the influence of the environment, everyone's thoughts and ambitions will change. The same is true for Lei Luo, but he usually doesn't realize it.
But a conversation with Uchiha Fugaku made Lei Luo pay attention to his own voice and clarify the desire that was gradually emerging subtly.
At this moment, Lei Luo faced his inner desires, and his ambitions further expanded. Therefore, all that was left was how to realize it.
Although now, neither our own strength nor the external opportunities are mature enough.
But Lei Luo believes that one day, he will get everything he wants.
This is the meaning of his life.
After patting the dust on his body, Lei Luo looked to the side, and then walked towards the sealing scrolls scattered on the ground.
With the help of the moonlight coming from the door curtain, Lei Luo was not completely unable to see the surrounding environment clearly.
But just as Lei Luo's footsteps moved, Orochimaru's voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "I thought you would sit here until tomorrow."
This guy hasn't left yet?
Lei Luo glanced behind him in surprise, but at some point, Orochimaru had left the chair in front of him and was leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
Those vertical pupils that were still shining in the dark night were pointed at Lei Luo with a playful expression, while the latter looked at Orochimaru inexplicably, forgetting to speak for a moment.
As if he felt that it was a bit boring to remain silent like this, Orochimaru chuckled and slowly said: "Do you know what I saw in you? Lei Luo."
Lei Luo didn't answer, and Orochimaru didn't seem to care at all, and continued: "It's a change..."
"Change..." Orochimaru repeated again, the smile on his lips widening unconsciously.
"I suddenly have a premonition that you will be like a gear in the future, turning the world around and eventually heading towards an unknown future, a future that no one can imagine."
"It's inexplicable." Lei Luo glanced at Orochimaru, gave a direct comment, and then said: "By the way, I have to go back to the village in a few days, so..."
"So?" was interrupted by Lei Luo. Orochimaru was not dissatisfied. There was still a smile on his lips, as if he was still in some kind of "self-narcissism".
Lei Luo ignored Orochimaru's "irregularity" and ordered in a serious tone:
"Didn't you tell me last time that you had a friend who knew the art of spiritual transformation?"
"Arrange for him to meet with me as soon as possible."
…
Time passed by in a hurry, and it was less than one day before the one-month deadline agreed between Lei Luo and Danzo. In other words, he would have to leave tonight.
Lei Luo originally thought that he would miss this opportunity to "purchase" the spiritual art at a low price, and could only wait until he returned to the village and ask Danzo to "pay" for him.
Unexpectedly, at noon today, Orochimaru led a young man with long white shawl hair into Lei Luo's tent.
Seeing this, Lei Luo quickly put away the half-turned scroll in his hand, jumped off the bed, and hurried forward to meet him.
"Haha, you are finally here."
"Come, sit, sit, drink tea."
With a smile on his lips, Lei Luo greeted the two of them to sit down, while he picked up the teapot from the table next to him and poured tea for Orochimaru and the white-haired young man.
Although he appeared to be full of enthusiasm for both of them, Lei Luo's peripheral vision was mostly focused on the white-haired young man.
Orochimaru obviously knew Lei Luo quite well, and he did not say anything when he saw this. He just smiled at the corner of his mouth and introduced them to both parties.
"This is the Lei Luo I told you about, also known as Jue Ying. He can be said to be the most outstanding figure of the younger generation."
"This is Kato Dan, a powerful jounin in Konoha. He is famous for his spiritual transformation skills."
When the white-haired young man heard Orochimaru praising him so much, he immediately smiled helplessly and said modestly: "What kind of fame? It's just a little trick."
After saying that, Kato Dan picked up the tea cup, brought it to his mouth and dipped it lightly, then raised his head and said to Lei Luo: "Compared to Master Jueying, my strength is far behind."
Kato Dan's modesty and shyness made Lei Luo feel good in his heart. Coupled with the fact that the other party could provide "scarce resources", Lei Luo's good feeling couldn't help but become even greater.
"Master Jueying, you are so much older than me, just call me Lei Luo."
While Lei Luo smiled amiably and tried to build rapport, he walked around to the other side of the round table, pulled up a chair and sat across from the two of them.
It is worth mentioning that the tent was neat and clean at this time. Not only were there no traces of any battle, but all the scrolls littering the floor had also disappeared. It had obviously been cleaned up on purpose.
Naturally, it cannot be Lei Luo who does this job, but his two loyal subordinates: Bingmao and Ding Yin, who are becoming more and more skilled in their "housekeeping" work.
Kato Dan originally thought that Lei Luo would be difficult to get along with, but he did not expect that the other party would be so approachable, even a little beyond his expectation, and this seemed to be different from the rumors he had heard in the past.
From this, Kato had to lament that the gossip was unreliable.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Kato Suan maintained a calm smile and said to Lei Luo in a warm voice: "Then I won't be seen outside, Lei Luo."
"Yes." Lei Luo also nodded with a smile. For a while, the atmosphere in the venue was joyful, and it felt like the guest and the host were enjoying themselves.
On the other hand, Orochimaru was on the side, and he knew very well what kind of character Lei Luo was.
Seeing the hypocritical expression on the latter's face, Orochimaru felt like nauseating, which was reflected in the stiffness of his face and the slight twitching of the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, a guess also emerged in Orochimaru's mind: Lei Luo's pretentious gesture proves that the art of spiritual transformation is very important to him. Is this related to his ability?
Kato Dan didn't notice Orochimaru's little moves, he just focused all his energy on Lei Luo. It can be seen that he is very interested in Lei Luo.
While chatting with Lei Luo in order to deepen the understanding between the two parties, he would raise a glass and sip tea from time to time.
During this process, Kato Dan behaved gracefully and gracefully without making people feel pretentious.
He speaks elegantly and has rich experience. He vaguely gives Lei Luo a feeling of spring breeze during the communication, which shows that he has a lot of cultivation.
