Chapter 1730

The elder in charge of the assessment was in a good mood. He had made a contribution this time with the appearance of a genius who was being fought over.

He was also curious about what was so special about the black-robed young man. He gave a few simple instructions to his disciples and hurried back to the inner sanctum to gather information.

The examinees who passed the assessment were brought to the courtyard where the Luo Sect disciples lived for the time being.

To put it bluntly, they just changed their residence and were still in the outer sanctum, which made it even more inconvenient for them to move around.

However, it was much better than the others. The examinees who failed the assessment were asked to leave the same day by the Luo Sect. Even the people who accompanied them had to pack up and leave.

As a result, the outer sanctum became much more spacious.

Tang Gaolan and Gu Chen's companions stayed behind. They could leave after watching the inner sanctum assessment. This was a kind of preferential treatment that the Luo Sect gave to those who passed the assessment.

Because they heard that Yuan Jie, who was taken away by the nine prophets, came together with Gu Chen and the others, Feng Yaya and the others were treated with unexpected courtesy. Their accommodation was upgraded to a better and bigger courtyard.

Although Gu Chen and Tang Jianqing had to live in the small courtyard, the Luo Sect disciples treated them much better.

Tang Gaolan never thought that she would benefit from Gu Chen and the others. She was secretly excited and glad that she made the right decision back then.

When the Shao Family's consecrator mocked Gu Chen for only having 355 Tao power, she actually regretted it. She wondered if her decision back then was too hasty.

However, with someone like Yuan Jie, even if Chen Yi was not worth the consecrator's price, it was worth it just based on the relationship between the two.

Moreover, Chen Yi was not bad himself. If Yuan Jie had not shocked the world, Chen Yi would have been the first place!

Tang Gaolan realized that she had underestimated this group of people. She did not know if the others who did not participate in the assessment were also hiding their abilities.

She began to curry favor with them. If she could bring this group of people into her Tang Family, it would definitely be of great benefit to her Tang Family!

Fang Shijie successfully entered the inner sanctum and approached the power center of the Luo Sect. Gu Chen also kept a low profile and stayed in the outer sanctum as he wished. The current situation was not much different from his original plan.

However, Gu Chen did not relax. Instead, he was in a state of vigilance because of the spying in the dark.

Although the spying completely disappeared after he left the Eight Trigram, it did not mean that it did not exist. He was worried that something would happen soon.

Therefore, he reminded his companions, especially the dragonfly monster, to be vigilant of every movement in the outer sanctum and report to him immediately if there were any abnormalities.

After giving instructions, Gu Chen went to the small courtyard where the group resided. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he found that Tang Jianqing and Shao Heyang were arguing.

"The bet we agreed on? What, are you going back on your word now? Shao Heyang, do you have any shame? "

Tang Jianqing was in high spirits and had an overbearing aura. Many disciples who had just passed the test had gathered around him, and they all started to make things difficult for Shao Heyang.

"Shao with me," Shaer, he "weak", he said.

"Shao Shao" Shao said. "Shao". Shao of Shao "Shao" was "I" Shao "Mo.

Shao Heyang lost because of him. After all, he was the first to walk out of the Eight Trigram.

If he was not the first to walk out, Shao Heyang would not be affected no matter how amazing Fang Shijie's later performance was according to the bet.

Gu Chen was not interested in the conflict between the two aristocratic families. He did not intend to intervene. However, Tang Jianqing was a newcomer, but he was surprised to see a group of supporters around him.

Everyone present was a candidate who had passed the test. They were not related to Tang Jianqing, so why were they surrounding him and making things difficult for Shao Heyang?

Was Shao Heyang so hateful?

Gu Chen stopped to observe for a while and soon understood what was going on.

This group of candidates knew that Fang Shijie came with them. They thought that Tang Jianqing had a strong relationship with him, so they were trying to please him!

Everyone present was a disciple of the Luo Sect. If they wanted to do well in the sect in the future, it was best to climb up a big tree.

Fang Shijie was the biggest tree they could see and the easiest to reach, so they took action.

Since they could not find Fang Shijie at the last minute, they started to flatter Tang Jianqing. Gu Chen looked at Tang Jianqing's smug face and wondered if he was purposely exaggerating his relationship with Fang Shijie.

This person was really shameless.

Gu Chen recalled how Tang Jianqing looked down on them. It was a stark contrast to how he was taking advantage of the situation. Gu Chen had a better understanding of Tang Jianqing's character.

Gu Chen shook his head. He had no intention of undermining Tang Jianqing. He had been through countless storms, so he saw all of this as fleeting clouds.

He deliberately avoided the group and headed to the room that was arranged for him. As for whether Shao Heyang would be forced to kneel in the end, he was not interested at all.

After entering the room and closing the door, Gu Chen isolated himself from all the hustle and bustle of the outside world. He practiced quietly until the curtain of the night rose and the lanterns were lit.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door. It was Tang Jianqing. He frowned slightly when he knew who it was.

He wanted to ignore it, but he thought of using the identity of the Tang family as a cover, so he opened the door and let Tang Jianqing in.

"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry to disturb you."

Tang Jianqing was extremely polite the moment he entered. Since when had he ever addressed Gu Chen in such a manner?

Gu Chen found it funny, but he gave him face and let him sit down to have a chat.

Seeing that Gu Chen did not treat him coldly, Tang Jianqing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed. Soon, he began to chat with him.

In the eyes of Gu Chen, who had experienced many ups and downs in the world, Tang Jianqing was not shrewd at all. He was simple and easy to understand. The two of them chatted for a while, and Gu Chen understood the purpose of his visit.

Gu Chen's previous suspicions were not wrong. After Fang Shijie shocked the world, Tang Jianqing pretended to be on good terms with them and took the opportunity to win over a large number of disciples.

Although outsiders did not know the truth, he was clear about it. He more or less had a guilty conscience. Now that he came to find Gu Chen, he wanted to ease the relationship between them and make his lie become the truth.

From his words, Gu Chen also learned that Shao Heyang was really an unlucky child. Under the coercion of a group of people, he really knelt and kowtowed to Tang Jianqing in front of everyone, fulfilling the bet they had agreed on.

Tang Jianqing could be said to be proud of himself. After so many years, he had finally defeated his arch-enemy. His mood was soaring.

However, this pride was fake and not real. Whether it could become real and last depended on Fang Shijie's attitude towards him in the future.

And how Fang Shijie treated him depended on Gu Chen's mood.

The Tang family's young master's weakness was now tightly grasped by Gu Chen, so he had to shamelessly curry favor with him.
