Chapter 1280

"Frined Gu, I hope you will take care of me in the future."

"Let's get together again some other day and drink till we are drunk."

"Definitely."

After sending off the last group of visitors, it was already late at night. When he was the only one left in the room, the seals around the courtyard were all activated. Only then did Gu Chen feel relieved.

He had just become the General of Xing County's Tian Fa today, and there was already an endless stream of visitors. This made him realize that although the Xing Realm looked like a military camp, it was no different from other places. There were complicated interpersonal relationships.

These relationships needed to be taken care of and maintained. Only then would he be able to gain a foothold in this place.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Gu Chen thought back to everything he had said and done in the Tian Fa Palace during the day. He thought about whether he had revealed any flaws when facing Xing Dao Lord and the others.

At this moment, the window of his room creaked and an ant sneaked in!

Gu Chen stared at this inconspicuous ant and allowed it to slowly climb up his sleeves before finally resting on his shoulder.

"Congratulations on successfully becoming the General of Tian Fa. With this, you finally have a foothold in the Xing Realm. You are no longer in a precarious situation."

Feng Yaya's voice sounded in Gu Chen's mind.

Gu Chen did not move, as if he was cultivating in silence.

"You can speak now. We will use our divine sense to communicate in your mind."

Feng Yaya noticed Gu Chen's cautiousness and said.

Only then did Gu Chen feel relieved and respond to her in his mind. "You always come looking for me sneakily. You will bring me a lot of trouble."

"What? Could it be that you're avoiding me just because you know Kong Sheng's identity?"

Feng Yaya said resentfully.

"The less trouble, the better. I don't want to offend the head of the Ministry of Works for you. So don't contact me anymore."

Gu Chen said indifferently.

Feng Yaya took a deep breath and said unhappily. "Don't you trust me?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Gu Chen was expressionless.

"Stop playing dumb. I don't believe that you really want to submit to Dao Lord Xing. That's just a temporary measure to save your hometown."

Feng Yaya said unhappily.

"Dao Lord Xing has treated me well. If I have a better future in the Xing Realm, there's nothing wrong with me pledging my loyalty to him," Gu Chen replied calmly.

"That's right, I've also heard that Dao Lord Xing treats you differently. But with your personality, I'm afraid that the better he treats you, the more uneasy you will be when you don't know his motives, right? "

Feng Yaya teased.

Gu Chen's expression froze. "Could it be that you know something?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if I know or not. If you don't trust me and don't intend to cooperate with me, why should I tell you?"

Seeing that Gu Chen had taken the bait, Feng Yaya said arrogantly.

This time, it was Gu Chen's turn to be on the defensive. He rubbed his nose and pondered.

He could tell that Feng Yaya wanted to cooperate with him, but he chose to turn a blind eye to it because his future was uncertain.

Now that he had gained a foothold in Xing County, what he needed the most was a reliable partner.

Considering that Feng Yaya had helped him behind Xing County's back in the Ninth Realm, she might be a suitable partner for an alliance.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Gu Chen said in a low voice.

"Finally, you're not avoiding it anymore."

Feng Yaya's tone was filled with joy, and she said straightforwardly. "I want you to kill Kong Sheng for me!"

Gu Chen sighed. As expected!

He had already guessed that Feng Yaya's request had something to do with her fiancé.

"Why? He's second only to one in Xing County, and he seems to treat you well, "Gu Chen said.

"Just like you, I came from a small world in the Sea of Chaos. Seven years ago, my hometown was also attacked by Xing County."

"But my hometown was luckier than yours. Back then, Kong Sheng found me when I was only 65 years old. Because of me, he canceled the plan to destroy my hometown."

Feng Yaya said softly.

"That's because you have the Divine Hands of Creation, right? But I didn't expect that not only do you look like a girl, but you're also so young. "

Gu Chen was a little surprised that Feng Yaya, who was 62 years old, was already at the peak of the Hundred Realms. When he was 62, he was still being hunted everywhere in the Kunlun Continent.

Although he looked very young, his real age was comparable to Feng Yaya's, and he was already considered an uncle.

Of course, both he and Feng Yaya were ridiculously young in the world of cultivators, where tens of thousands of years were easily counted.

"I'm born beautiful, young and cute. Do you think I'm like those old witches who pretend to be young?"

Feng Yaya immediately glared at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was speechless. This young girl was really narcissistic.

"Back then, Kong Sheng took me away from my hometown. At first, I thought he was just raising me as a disciple, so I was grateful to him for a long time."

"But then I slowly realized that there was something wrong with the way he looked at me. Although I was young, I was not stupid."

"Finally, when I was 60, he announced to the world that I was his fiancée. Only then did I understand what he was planning."

Feng Yaya pursed her lips.

"His hobbies were very problematic. So you wanted to kill him to get rid of him and gain freedom?"

Gu Chen guessed.

Back then, Feng Yaya was still ignorant when she was kidnapped by Kong Sheng to the Xing Realm. He silently raised her as his wife, and indeed, he did not consider her feelings.

But she wanted to kill Kong Sheng just because of this. Gu Chen felt that Feng Yaya was probably crazy. She clearly had other options, such as running away.

"No, if he really wanted to marry me, even if I don't like him as a man and a woman, considering our past relationship, it's not a bad idea to give him a chance."

Feng Yaya gritted her teeth, and her eyes showed a strong sense of unwillingness.

"But the reason why he wanted to marry me was just for the Divine Hand of Creation. I'm the same as those slaves in the Ministry of Works who were used as experimental subjects. Sooner or later, I'll die!"

"How do you know what he's thinking?"

Gu Chen had never been stingy when it came to guessing people's intentions. But without any evidence, Feng Yaya might just be delusional.

"I've been by his side for so long, and I know him like the back of my hand. The way he looks at me is definitely not just the way a man looks at a woman. Sometimes, when he looks at me, it's like he's about to develop a new killing weapon. "

Gu Chen no longer doubted. With Feng Yaya's intelligence, she would not speak without thinking. That Kong Sheng most likely did not have good intentions towards her!

"I don't know what Kong Sheng wants to do to me, but he has always been very concerned about the progress of my cultivation, and hopes that I can break through to the Dao Querying Realm as soon as possible."
