Chapter 1582
When Gu Chen saw Chu Meixin again, his eyes lit up.
When he first saw her in the Three Thousand Lesser Worlds, although Chu Meixin was already a rare beauty, her makeup and clothes actually covered up her beauty in order to keep a low profile.
But today, as the emissary from Sword Commandery, the granddaughter of the famous Humble Sword Lord, she was dressed in a colorful brocade palace dress that accentuated her slender figure. Her exquisite makeup added a bit of dignity and nobility to her original graceful temperament.
In the past, she was a chivalrous woman who carried a sword case around the world. But today, she was the real little princess of Sword Commandery.
Her beauty was so outstanding that even a group of fierce male cultivators in Ba Commandery could not help but treat her with a gentler tone.
"Miss Chu, long time no see."
Gu Chen strode over from the distant starry sky, followed by Feng Yaya and Wu Ming.
Chu Meixin stood beside her Cyan Phoenix carriage and had been waiting for Gu Chen for a while. Seeing him from afar, her beautiful eyes could not help showing a touch of joy.
Gu Chen quickly approached. Chu Meixin bowed slightly and said with a sweet smile, "Greetings, Dao Lord Gu."
When Gu Chen heard this form of address, he immediately burst into laughter and shook his head. "Miss Chu, don't tease me. You and I are friends. Just call me what you used to call me."
"Dao Lord Gu is older than Meixin, so Meixin will call you Brother Gu. Is that okay?" Chu Meixin gently pursed her lips and said after a little thought.
Gu Chen was a little surprised. Chu Meixin had always called him Young Master Gu.
But he did not care how she called him. He nodded with a smile and greeted Granny Shu who was beside Chu Meixin.
Granny Shu was a little reserved when she greeted Gu Chen. She did not expect that when she saw this boy again, he was already at the same level as the Humble Sword Lord.
A scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at in a new light, but the impact of this change was too great …
Feng Yaya, who was following beside Gu Chen, saw Chu Meixin calling Gu Chen 'Big Brother Gu', and her ears turned red. "This is too obvious."
The border of Lin County was empty and desolate, and there was no suitable place to entertain guests. Gu Chen brought Chu Meixin and Granny Shu to Tyrant County's spaceship for a private gathering. The attendants of Sword County were arranged by others.
Sitting down on the flying ship, Gu Chen personally brewed tea for Chu Meixin and Granny Shu.
"The Sword Region is very far from here. Miss Chu and Granny Shu must have something to ask of me, right?" Gu Chen asked after drinking some tea.
"Brother Gu, it's my grandfather's birthday in seven months. Mei Xin came to Ba Jun this time to deliver the invitation."
"Brother Gu has helped Mei Xin a lot in the Longevity Realm. My grandfather has long wanted to meet you. I hope Brother Gu can come."
Chu Meixin expressed the purpose of her visit, and her face was filled with anticipation.
When the cultivators of Ba Jun heard this, they were a little surprised, and some even frowned.
Chu Meixin's grandfather was Dao Lord Clumsy Sword, and the ambush in the Outer World more than a year ago was rumored to be the joint intention of the Dao Lords of the Hundred Counties!
Dao Lord Clumsy Sword was also one of the Dao Lords of the Hundred Counties, and his seniority and strength were relatively high. Would it be another Hongmen Banquet for him to invite the leader for his birthday?
At that moment, the atmosphere in the cabin became a little silent and oppressive, and Gu Chen's face also revealed a pondering expression.
"It's a long journey from Sword County to Lin County. Miss Chu came personally to deliver the invitation, and the time spent on the journey should be at least seven or eight months, right?" Gu Chen did not answer directly, but asked.
"There was some delay on the way, and in fact, it took ten months." Chu Meixin answered truthfully.
When Gu Chen heard this, he pondered for a while.
It took ten months on the journey, which meant that Dao Lord Clumsy Sword sent the invitation not long after Ba Jun annexed three counties.
This time was too sensitive, and it was a long journey from Sword County to him. But Dao Lord Clumsy Sword didn't choose any other way, but asked his granddaughter to deliver the letter in person. His intention was quite profound.
There were only seven months left before Dao Lord Clumsy Sword's birthday, and he sent the invitation in such a hurry, which showed that this birthday banquet invitation was an impromptu idea.
Gu Chen quickly sorted out his thoughts. He was afraid that Dao Lord Clumsy Sword invited him not simply to repay his granddaughter's life-saving grace, nor to befriend him. There was another purpose behind this!
"Miss Chu, let's not beat around the bush. You and I are also friends who have gone through life and death together, so I have some questions to ask directly."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen went straight to the point.
In the Changshou World, he and Chu Meixin went through difficulties together, and there was trust between them. Now that she came to visit in person, he did not want to pretend to be courteous.
"Brother Gu, if you have something to say, just say it. I will tell you everything I know." Chu Meixin said seriously.
"Well, I want to know the real purpose of your grandfather's invitation."
Chu Meixin was not surprised by Gu Chen's question, and immediately answered. "Brother Gu, to tell you the truth, you're not the only one invited to Grandfather's birthday banquet this time. The other Dao Lords of the Chaos Sea were also invited. Grandfather invited you because he hopes to be a peacemaker and eliminate the previous misunderstanding between you and the other Dao Lords. "
"Misunderstanding? Hmph, is it as simple as a misunderstanding? If we're not careful, the leader and we would have died in the outside world! "
The clan leader of the Swallowing Kun Race blurted out in dissatisfaction.
"The ambush against Ba County by the outside world has nothing to do with the Sword County. I hope everyone can understand this."
When Granny Shu heard this, she immediately explained for Chu Meixin, afraid that she would be wronged.
Chu Meixin waved her hand and stopped her from quarreling with the people of Ba County, but her smile did not diminish.
"The previous operation against Ba County was organized and proposed by Crazy Dao Lord. In fact, my grandfather did not participate in it. It was precisely because he considered that Brother Gu might not be able to trust him because of the previous incident that he sent me here. "
"I'm the Humble Sword Lord's most beloved granddaughter. If the people of Ba County can't trust me, you can kill me at any time."
Chu Meixin sat upright and her tone was especially calm. She did not show any stage fright in the face of the ferocious cultivators of Ba County, showing the demeanor of an empress.
Her words made the clan leader of the Swallowing Kun Race speechless for a moment, and also made everyone realize the sincerity of the Humble Sword Lord.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Meixin began to persuade Gu Chen seriously.
"Brother Gu, Meixin knows that the previous incident has caused you to have a conflict with the Dao Lords of the various counties. However, given the current situation, it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive."
"It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. The hostility of the counties towards Ba County is actually not that great. My grandfather hopes to be the middleman and let you reconcile with the Dao Lords. This way, the people in Ba County can live and work in peace."
