Chapter 107

Huang Pingzhang looked at Gu Chen with a complicated expression. This young man had refreshed his understanding of the word genius time and time again.

He was only sixteen years old, yet his cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine realm.

His character and intelligence were almost flawless.

In comparison, although his granddaughter was somewhat beautiful, she was still some distance away from the Divine realm. The difference between the two was too great.

"Looks like it's getting more and more impossible to recruit him as my son-in-law."

Huang Pingzhang sighed inwardly.

"Daoist Huang, are you not happy that I broke through?"

Noticing Huang Pingzhang's expression, Gu Chen retracted his powerful aura into his body, instantly looking like an ordinary young man.

"Of course not. Congratulations." Huang Pingzhang shook his head.

"Then why do you look so worried? Did something happen recently? "Gu Chen asked.

Huang Pingzhang didn't have the nerve to say that he was unhappy that he had no hope of getting a grandson-in-law, so he changed the topic.

"There is indeed something troubling. Tomorrow, the Cloud Sect is calling for a meeting in the three cities. They want all the leaders of the forces in this region to attend."

"Oh? What does the Cloud Sect want? "Gu Chen was slightly surprised.

"I'm not sure. The situation has been unstable recently. Some forces have begun to disobey their leadership. Perhaps they want to appease the people and rebuild their reputation."

Huang Pingzhang looked at Gu Chen, his heart skipping a beat. "The Old Man had originally planned to only bring Xiao Fei to Misty Mountain. But since you've broken through, why don't you go together?"

"The situation has been chaotic recently. With you around, the Old Man will be much more at ease."

Gu Chen didn't refuse.

The next day.

A group of three sat in a carriage, heading unhurriedly to the Misty Mountain where the Cloud Sect was located.

Gu Chen was dressed in a black martial artist robe. His thick, ink-like hair casually draped over his shoulders. His eyes were closed as he silently cultivated.

Huang Fei sat across from him, stealing glances at him from time to time.

Although Gu Chen lived in her home, she hadn't seen him often lately.

He and Grandpa often went out mysteriously. When she asked Grandpa, he wouldn't tell her where they were going. She missed him very much, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Today, with great difficulty, she was able to go out with Gu Chen. Under her strong request, her grandfather finally agreed to ride in the carriage, giving them more time to spend together.

After not seeing him for a while, she realized that Gu Chen seemed to have grown taller again. A youth of his age was at the stage of growth.

His skin was a healthy tan, and he was neither thin nor fat. He was her favorite type.

As for his face, his delicate facial features still exuded a cold aura.

Every time she felt Gu Chen's unapproachable temperament, she wanted to know what kind of past this young man had that caused him to have such a personality.

She really wanted to use her passion to melt his ice-cold heart. This was also strongly supported by her grandfather.

Even her uncles, who had always disliked her, had been hinting to her to spend more time with Gu Chen recently.

It was obvious that the Huang Family was becoming more and more dependent on Master Chen's powerful protection.

Huang Fei knew that as the head of the family and a woman, it was very likely that her marriage would be a political one in the future.

But if this person was Master Chen, then she would be married to the man she loved. There was no better ending than this.

Thinking of all these, Huang Fei gathered her courage and kept talking to Gu Chen on the way.

She even woke up early and prepared a lot of different flavors of pastries. From time to time, she would give them to Gu Chen, hoping to capture his appetite and then his heart.

Unfortunately, although Gu Chen had responded to her, he was still lukewarm. He only tasted the pastries she made herself and stopped after tasting them.

Huang Pingzhang sighed inwardly at this scene. Although he admired Gu Chen, he didn't want his granddaughter to have a one-sided love.

From the looks of it, it was unlikely that the two of them would be together. When he returned this time, he might as well persuade Huang Fei to give up so that she wouldn't fall deeper.

The carriage stopped. They had arrived at Yunwu Mountain.

The Yunwu Sect's territory mainly consisted of Tanlang, Pojun, and Qisha Cities. Yunwu Mountain happened to be in the center of this area.

It was a beautiful mountain peak. Spiritual springs and waterfalls could be seen everywhere on the mountain. The top was covered in clouds and it was said that it never melted.

When Gu Chen's group was led to the mountain by the Yunwu Sect's disciples, the leaders of many forces had already arrived.

Seeing Huang Pingzhang, many people immediately came up to chat with him. Their eyes were filled with flattery.

There were hundreds of forces under the Yunwu Sect. Among them, the Huang family of Tanlang City, the Zhou and Peng family of Pojun City, and the Yuchi family of Pojun City were the most powerful.

Recently, the three cities had been in chaos. The Yunwu Sect's leader and many elders had died. The Peng family of Tanlang City was also inexplicably destroyed.

Thus, the two big families of Tanlang City and Pojun City stood out.

Not long after the Huang family unified Tanlang City, it was said that the Huang family's Master Huang had broken through the shackles of longevity and improved his cultivation.

As for the Huang family's guest, Chen Gu, there were many legends about him. It was said that he was extremely powerful and the Huang family's revival was thanks to him.

The Yuchi family of Pojun City had the same seniority as Huang Pingzhang. However, Yuchi Zhong had stepped into the peak of Immortal realm a few years ago and had complete control over Pojun City.

The Huang family and the Yuchi family were two rising forces that could very well replace the Yunwu Sect in the future. Therefore, Master Huang was warmly welcomed as soon as he arrived.

Huang Pingzhang chatted happily with the leaders of the other forces as they walked to the top of the Yunwu Mountain.

Gu Chen followed behind them and did not say a word.

Occasionally, some people tried to talk to him, but they were choked by his cold expression.

He didn't like to socialize with people. He knew very well that the people around Huang Pingzhang were fence-sitters.

Halfway up the mountain, a group of people escorted an old man up the mountain from the other side.

The old man's temples were graying and he looked about the same age as Huang Pingzhang. However, his body was tall and straight like a pine tree, and he exuded a strong aura.

Gu Chen didn't need to guess his identity to know that many people were greeting him with "Master Yuchi".

Yuchi Zhong!

He was one of the two heroes that stood side by side with Huang Pingzhang. Unlike the kind-looking Huang Pingzhang, Yuchi Zhong gave people the feeling that he was a fierce warrior.

When the two met, Huang Pingzhang nodded with a smile as a greeting.

Yuchi Zhong, on the other hand, strode forward, his eyes shining brightly.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, after so many years, you've finally stepped into the peak of Immortal realm. Congratulations."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Chen behind him. "This is the legendary Master Chen? So young indeed! "

Even though Gu Chen had used the Breath Concealment Technique, he could still tell that Gu Chen wasn't an ordinary person. However, he couldn't determine his exact level of cultivation.

"I've heard a lot about you," Gu Chen said calmly.
