Chapter 1765

"Was this the reason why the two of them were hostile to me earlier?"

Asked Gu Chen as he glanced at Second Uncle Tang and High Official Gu who were walking in front of him.

He had to figure out the reason for this strange hostility.

"Not really."

Tang Gaolan, who had been speaking freely just a moment ago, started stuttering again. It was not that she did not want to tell Gu Chen about this, but it was too difficult for her to talk about it.

"Brother Chen, if you trust me, please don't ask too many questions for now. I promise to do my best to give you a satisfactory answer."

Tang Gaolan pondered for a moment before she spoke sincerely. Her words made Gu Chen even more confused. Even Tang Jianqing was confused.

"Sister, what's going on? Brother Chen is my savior. "

Tang Jianqing emphasized as if he was on the same side as Gu Chen.

Tang Gaolan rolled her eyes at him. Tang Jianqing wanted to ask more, but the procession in front of them suddenly stopped. A large group of people suddenly appeared from the fork and stopped the Tang family's people.

"What's going on?"

The three of them stopped talking and pulled on their dragon ropes to get closer. Second Uncle Tang was negotiating with the newcomers.

"Shao Jianwu, what's the meaning of this? Do you think the Tang family is a pushover?"

Second Uncle Tang's expression was cold as he questioned a burly middle-aged man who was riding a Flaming Horse.

"Brother Tang, you're being too serious. I just have something to ask Young Master Tang. I'll leave once I'm done." Shao Jianwu put on a fake smile.

"What do you want to ask Jianqing? How can you ask something like that? The Shao family is getting more and more prestigious! "Second Uncle Tang snorted coldly, but he had no intention of falling out with the Shao family.

When Gu Chen heard the words' Shao family ', he turned to look at Tang Jianqing's reaction. He saw that Tang Jianqing's expression was a little unnatural. He immediately understood that the Shao family was referring to Shao Heyang's Shao family.

Shao Heyang was killed by Gu Chen in the wilderness, and Tang Jianqing had participated in it. Therefore, he could not help but feel guilty and uneasy when the Shao family came looking for him.

However, Gu Chen was unperturbed as if it had nothing to do with him. Tang Jianqing secretly admired his calmness.

"Brother Tang, to tell you the truth, my nephew, He Yang, joined the Luo Sect together with Young Master Tang. Now that Young Master Tang has safely returned to Peidu, there's no news of He Yang at all. My big brother is inevitably worried, so he asked me to ask about it."

Shao Jianwu said with a gloomy face. As soon as the incident at Luo Gate happened, Shao Heyang sent someone to send a letter back to the clan in advance. The letter also mentioned that he would be returning to Peidu soon after.

However, after that, there was suddenly no news of Shao Heyang. Not only him, but Elder Wei and the other guards also lost contact.

This situation was far too abnormal, and it did not match Shao Heyang's character. Therefore, the Shao Family had been extremely worried during this period of time. Therefore, when they heard that Tang Jianqing had returned, they immediately came to investigate.

"I said, I, I, you, I, Master Tang, I, you, you, I, I, you, I was too. worried. too, I, I, I, I, I Master.. I.

"I was too impatient. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Please forgive me, Brother Tang. I just want to ask Young Master Tang a few questions. Is that okay? "

Shao Jianwu forced a smile on his face and motioned for Tang Jianwu to make way.

"Sure. I'll give the Shao family face."

Tang Jianwu's expression was uncertain. Finally, he made way for Shao Jianwu to reach Tang Jianqing.

Peidu had been turbulent lately, and the situation was confusing. He didn't want to fall out with the Shao family over such a small matter.

Moreover, many people in Peidu knew that Tang Jianqing had joined the Luo family. There were many eyes watching him in the dark. If Tang Jianwu tried to stop Tang Jianqing from interacting with others, it would seem like the Tang family was up to no good. People would suspect that the Tang family knew some secrets about the incident in the Luo family.

At such a sensitive time, the consequences would be unthinkable if people were to think about it.

Shao Jianwu went to Tang Jianqing and asked about Shao Heyang. He mainly asked if he had seen Shao Heyang on his way back.

Tang Jianqing's mental fortitude was better than Gu Chen had imagined. He looked calm on the surface and said that he had never seen Shao Heyang and didn't know what had happened to him.

After a while, Shao Jianwu realized that he couldn't get anything out of Tang Jianqing. He frowned and turned to look at Gu Chen.

"This is …"

Gu Chen's attire was obviously different from the Tang family. He looked travel-worn, so Tang Jianwu couldn't help but notice him.

"He's Jianqing's friend. He helped him a lot on his way back."

Tang Gaolan quickly answered for Gu Chen. There was a deeper meaning in her words. She was telling the truth, but she ignored the fact that Gu Chen was also a disciple of the Luo family.

Gu Chen didn't deny it. He could tell that Tang Gaolan meant well.

The incident at the Luo family had caused a commotion in the Pei Nation. Now, all the forces in the Pei Nation wanted to find out about the Luo family. If people knew that he was once a disciple of the Luo family, trouble would inevitably come knocking on his door.

Tang Jianqing had a strong background. Most people didn't dare to touch him, but Gu Chen was different.

"Oh? Is that so? "

Shao Jianwu's eyes flickered as he stared at the young black-haired man in front of him. He took a few more glances at the strange cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead.

He felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"I've asked everything I need to ask. Can you make way now?" Second Uncle Tang reminded him coldly.

Shao Jianwu came back to his senses and turned his horse around. "Sorry for the interruption. Let's go! "

He led the Shao family's men and left. The tense situation finally disappeared.

"Let's go back to the Tang Mansion!"

Second Uncle Tang shouted. The group continued forward.

Not long after, they arrived at the Tang Mansion. As soon as they arrived, Tang Jianqing was asked to leave, while Gu Chen was received by Tang Gaolan. They stayed in a courtyard of the Tang Mansion that was used to entertain guests.

Although he was a guest, Gu Chen soon noticed that there were many soldiers of the Water Dance Army acting as guards around his courtyard. Not only were they protecting his safety, but they were also secretly monitoring him.

The arrangement made Gu Chen realize that the Tang family's attitude toward him was a little ambiguous.

"Interesting. What is the Tang family trying to do?"

Gu Chen shook his head. He didn't care much about the Tang family's thoughts. He came here mainly to find a place to stay.

No matter what, living in the Tang mansion was more comfortable than living in the inn in Peidu. Moreover, Tang Jianqing was now obedient to everything he said. A lot of chores could be handed over to him to do, and information could be gathered by him. It was very convenient and beneficial to his own plan.

As for safety, he didn't think that anyone in the Tang family could threaten him.

After settling in the courtyard, Gu Chen didn't go to see the bustling Peidu for the time being. Instead, he spent a few days cultivating.

After mastering the Eleventh Heaven Secret Technique, Rising Tides, he began to comprehend the Twelfth Heaven Secret Technique. He didn't stop cultivating because he had many things to do.

On the way to Peidu, he had some epiphanies. At present, the cultivation of the Twelfth Heaven Secret Technique had reached a critical juncture. He planned to use a few days to consolidate it.
