Chapter 1764

"Thank you for taking care of Jianqing along the way, Brother Chen."

Tang Gaolan cupped her hands and said gratefully from the bottom of her heart.

Although Tang Jianqing didn't explain exactly what had happened on the way, her younger brother had been spoiled since he was a child. She could totally imagine how difficult it would have been for him without Gu Chen's help.

"Miss Tang, you're too kind."

Gu Chen replied with a smile. His gaze fell on the two old men beside Tang Gaolan and the army behind her.

He was only receiving Tang Jianqing, but such a large force made him feel a little strange.

"Brother Chen, this is my second uncle. The other one is Consecrator Gu."

Tang Gaolan briefly introduced the two old men beside her. Gu Chen said courteously. "Nice to meet you."

The two old men did not return the greeting. The Second Uncle of the Tang Clan scrutinized Gu Chen's young face without saying a word. As for High Elder Gu, he simply snorted coldly. His attitude was obvious.

Gu Chen noticed their attitude and frowned slightly.

Putting aside the help he had given Tang Jianqing, he didn't know these two. As the saying went, one shouldn't hit a smiling person. Why did they treat him like this?

"You're Chen Yi, right? The Old Man has heard about you. The Old Man has some things to tell you … "

Tang Clan's second uncle suddenly spoke, but he was interrupted by Tang Gaolan before he could finish. "Second uncle, Brother Chen must be tired from the long journey. If there's anything, let's talk after you've settled down. That's the way to treat a guest."

Tang Clan's second uncle showed some displeasure when he heard this, but he didn't oppose it. "Do I need you to say that? That's how it should be. Young Master Chen, please! "

He turned around and left after saying this, not intending to chat with Gu Chen at all.

As for High Official Gu, he didn't even bother to look at Gu Chen.

"Miss Tang, what's going on with these two?" Gu Chen was confused and asked Tang Gaolan calmly.

"This … Brother Chen, please forgive me. I will explain this matter to you later. For now, let's return to the mansion. I believe Brother Chen must be tired from the long journey."

Tang Gaolan's face was full of embarrassment and awkwardness, and her words were unclear.

"That's right, Brother Chen. Don't bother with those two old fellows. It's been a tough journey for you. Now that you've finally returned to Peidu, you must let me treat you well!"

Tang Jianqing didn't seem to have any respect for his Second Uncle. He was afraid that Gu Chen would get angry, so he said with a fawning expression.

These words greatly eased the atmosphere. Gu Chen noticed the apologetic look in Tang Gaolan's eyes, so he didn't say anything more. He nodded and followed behind the two of them.

Stepping into Peidu, Tang Gaolan couldn't help but talk to Gu Chen and Tang Jianqing all the way to the Tang Manor.

After some communication, Tang Gaolan quickly discovered something strange.

She realized that her brother's attitude toward Chen Yi had changed drastically compared to what she remembered.

Previously, Tang Jianqing had been disrespectful to Chen Yi, and it wasn't as if he hadn't been sarcastic to his face before. He always put on the airs of a young master.

However, when they met again this time, she realized that her brother's attitude toward Chen Yi was not only much more polite, but could even be described as respectful …

Yes, she had been observing her brother's behavior along the way and realized that he always treated Chen Yi as his leader. His words and actions were extremely flattering, and he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance like he used to have. This had greatly subverted her expectations.

She could tell that although they had only been apart for a short period of time, her brother seemed to have matured a lot. She didn't know what had happened during this period of time.

She wanted to ask in detail, but considering that they were on the streets and that there were too many people around, she forced herself to hold back.

"Miss Tang, has something happened in Peidu recently?"

Gu Chen asked curiously. He saw that the streets on both sides were wide, but many of the stalls had been closed. There weren't many pedestrians on the road, and instead, he often saw patrolling soldiers.

He could see some clues from the previous scene when he received Tang Jianqing. Now that the situation in Peidu was like this, he had some guesses.

However, he didn't know if the Tang Family's Second Uncle and High Official Gu's strange attitude had anything to do with this.

Tang Gaolan, who was riding on the flood dragon, suddenly looked a little more solemn. She sighed. "Peidu has indeed been unstable recently. Speaking of which, it has something to do with Brother Chen. Who would have thought that the dignified holy land of Peidu, the Luo Sect, would disappear overnight?"

These words made Tang Jianqing, who had finally returned home and was feeling happy, suddenly look solemn. His tone was bitter. "What an unexpected disaster. My ten years of hard work have been completely wasted. I don't know what exactly happened to the Luo Sect!"

Until now, he still couldn't understand why such a situation had happened.

A sect that had been perfectly fine had just disbanded without any warning beforehand.

It would have been fine if it had been a small sect, but it just had to be the Luo Sect.

The Luo Sect was the dignified holy land of Peidu. It had unparalleled influence on the royal family, and it was also a Taoist sect with a long history. Such a thing should not have happened!

"What's the big deal about your hard work going to waste? If this matter isn't resolved properly, the entire Peidu might be destroyed. Get ready. Father has a lot to ask you. He'll probably summon you as soon as you get back. "

Tang Gaolan sighed repeatedly and reminded Tang Jianqing.

"There's no use asking me. I don't know anything." Tang Jianqing's head hurt at the thought of this.

"The change in the Luo Sect happened too suddenly. No one expected it. The only people who might understand the situation now are you, who have personally experienced the change in the Luo Sect."

"There are many forces trying to find out about this matter. Why do you think I brought so many people to pick you up? It's because I'm afraid that you'll be intercepted the moment you return. Father is afraid that you're young and ignorant and will say something you shouldn't and get yourself into trouble. "

Since they had talked about some things, Tang Gaolan might as well make it clear.

"I don't know anything. What nonsense can I say? Father is overthinking things, "Tang Jianqing grumbled pitifully.

"Is this really that big of an impact?" Gu Chen asked. The Great Prophet had told him about the consequences of the Luo Sect's disappearance, but it was a different thing to experience it for himself.

"I'm afraid the impact of this matter is more serious than Brother Chen can imagine. Brother Chen has personally experienced the change in the Luo Sect, so you need to be careful with your words and actions. However, Brother Chen doesn't need to worry too much. You don't know much, just like Jianqing. With the Tang Family's protection, no one will make things difficult for you. "

Tang Gaolan lowered her voice and comforted Gu Chen.

It was clear that Tang Jianqing's previous letter had already told him what he knew about the Luo Sect. In Tang Jianqing's eyes, Gu Chen, who was also a new disciple, couldn't possibly know much about the change in the Luo Sect.

When he sent the letter back home, the Tang Family, who lacked information, naturally believed him. They didn't think that Gu Chen knew anything about the change in the Luo Sect.

This matter was simply unbelievable. Who would have thought that a disciple who had just joined the Luo Sect would have the ability to influence the Great Prophet's decision?
