Chapter 1772

"Oh? But you didn't manage to remove my veil just now, "the assassin said sarcastically.

The assassin mocked. He was actually a bit angry in his heart. These words were said to regain some face.

Gu Chen had only hit a misty figure just now. His or her bamboo hat and veil were still on, but they had been touched to the back.

Without the veil, only one's true face could be seen, but being touched to the back could be fatal. It was very obvious who was more skilled, but the assassin deliberately played it down, unwilling to admit defeat.

"There's no point in talking. Why don't you just tell me what I have to do to get into the Pavilion?" Gu Chen said lazily, seeing through the assassin's mind at once.

The assassin laughed coldly and was about to say something to stop his delusions, but when he thought of how he had just lost face, he had an idea.

"If you want to join the Pavilion, you naturally have to go through an assessment. But you don't even have the right to take part in the assessment."

"Why?" Gu Chen frowned.

"Most of the assassins in the Pavilion are chosen from a young age to ensure that they have a clear background and are talented as assassins."

"Those who are chosen have to go through all kinds of training. Only when they pass the training can they become assassin apprentices."

"After becoming an assassin apprentice, they have to experience actual combat and complete a series of assessment tasks before they can truly become an assassin of the Pavilion."

"This series of processes is complicated and meticulous. Even a hundred thousand people may not be able to produce a qualified assassin. Your background is unknown, and you suddenly want to join the Pavilion. You can't even pass the background check. You're dreaming! "

The assassin's detailed explanation made sense. Gu Chen thought for a while. "There are always exceptions to everything. You said most, which means there are other shortcuts."

The assassin was secretly surprised at Gu Chen's thoughtfulness. But this was what he was going to say, so he answered, "Yes, there are shortcuts. Some people in the Pavilion have the right to recommend others to join the Pavilion. Those who can get the recommendation can naturally save a lot of trouble. Coincidentally, I'm one of the people who have this right. "

Gu Chen couldn't help but size up the person in front of him. It seemed that this person was not an ordinary assassin in the Pavilion.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Peidu was the capital of a nation, and the people who were assigned to be in charge of the stronghold of Wang Xu Pavilion couldn't be of low status.

"Then I'd like to trouble Your Excellency to introduce me to him," Gu Chen said shamelessly.

"Hehe, it's not impossible, as long as you can pass my test." The assassin's eyes flashed with a mocking light. The other party had taken the bait. Very good, the opportunity for revenge had come.

"Please enlighten me." Gu Chen was much more polite than before.

The assassin had a pensive look on his face as he paced back and forth in the room, seemingly thinking of a suitable assessment method.

After a while, he had an idea.

"As an assassin, the two most important abilities are the art of killing and the art of concealment. Today, I will test your concealment skills. "

"Leave the pawnshop immediately. I'll give you two hours to hide wherever you want. I'll go find you in two hours. If I can't find you before sunset, you'll pass the test and I'll recommend you to the pavilion. "

"But if I find you before sunset, I want your eyes. What do you think?"

The assassin's eyes flashed coldly as he looked provocatively at Gu Chen.

"Sure." Gu Chen agreed without much thought.

"Words alone are no proof. Do you dare to sign a Dao Guarding Spirit Contract with me?" the assassin asked.

"Dao Guarding Spirit Contract?"

Hearing this familiar term, Gu Chen was slightly stunned. The last person he had signed such a contract with was called Fang Yuan, and he had even lost his life.

Fang Yuan had once said that this kind of contract was very popular in the Primordial Chaos Dao World. He hadn't expected to see it again today.

"What? You're afraid of signing a spirit contract? "the assassin said sarcastically when he saw that Gu Chen didn't agree immediately.

Gu Chen came back to his senses and smiled. "Of course."

Back then, he had been tricked by Fang Yuan, which was why he had lost so badly. This assassin in front of him couldn't be compared.

"Alright, come." The assassin was overjoyed. The other party had fallen into his trap step by step, he would probably regret it in the future!

Gu Chen nodded. He had the experience of signing a contract with Fang Yuan before, so he quickly completed it this time.

When the contract was completed, the mysterious contract power merged with heaven and earth. Anyone who violated it would be destroyed by heaven and earth, consigned to eternal damnation.

"Let's go, you have two hours!"

Having achieved his goal, the assassin looked at Gu Chen with a pitiful gaze. This person was really stupid. He didn't even know his background and dared to agree to this condition rashly.

Losing a pair of eyes at sunset was the price he had to pay for overestimating himself!

Gu Chen nodded. Before leaving, he suddenly approached the assassin and revealed a terrifying killing intent, threatening, "If I win, I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

The assassin had never heard of such a strong killing intent. His expression hidden under the veil changed as he felt uneasy.

"With the restriction of the Dao Guarding Spirit Contract, what are you worried about? Cut the crap and scram! "The assassin braced himself and said.

"That's true."

Gu Chen's killing intent suddenly retracted. He smiled and brushed past the assassin, walking down the second floor and out of the pawnshop.

When Gu Chen walked unhurriedly into the crowd on the street far away, the assassin who was watching him leave through the window secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"What is this guy's background? How can a normal cultivator have such a well-tempered killing intent? "

There was no one around. The assassin muttered softly. Her voice had actually changed to a sweet-sounding female voice.

She muttered for a while, but her expression quickly turned into mockery. "So what if he has some strength. The test is on concealment skills, and I specialize in tracking."

She whistled as she spoke. Immediately, on the roofs of the nearby houses, birds the size of bees flew up. Looking at the direction, it was Gu Chen's location …

Two hours passed quickly. On the second floor of the pawnshop, the assassin had no intention of going out to look for Gu Chen. Instead, she was calmly sipping on fragrant tea and eating exquisite pastries.

Through the lifted veil, one could vaguely see her tender red lips.

From the window on the second floor, birds would occasionally fly over and land on the table, chirping as if they were reporting something.

At this time, the assassin would cut the pastries in her hands into small pieces. The birds would happily peck at them a few times before flying out of the window.

Just like that, the entire box of pastries was finished. Seeing that it was not far from sunset, the assassin slowly wiped her hands and stood up.

"I gave him two hours to prepare, but he's only hiding three streets away. His concealment skills are really poor. My hummingbird found him without much effort."

She muttered disdainfully and left the pawnshop.

In a dilapidated and uninhabited house, the assassin found traces of Gu Chen.
