Chapter 1777

No wonder Ye Mi said that the Tang Family would be in big trouble soon and told him to leave as soon as possible.

Honesty Pavilion had accepted the mission to assassinate an official of Pei State, and the Tang Family was an important official of Pei State. They were probably also among their targets.

Gu Chen had learned a lot of useful information from the information desk, and he felt a little enlightened.

After a long time, when he had more or less understood, his consciousness left the information desk.

Ye Mi had been standing beside him the whole time. He didn't know what information he had read, because the information was sent directly to Gu Chen's mind, so it was hard for outsiders to pry into it.

"Honesty Pavilion accepted the mission to assassinate an official of Pei State, and I'm the Minister of Offerings of the Tang Family. It shouldn't be easy for me to pass the background check to join Honesty Pavilion, right?" Gu Chen looked at Ye Mi and asked a question he had while reading the information.

It would have been fine if he didn't know about this, but his identity conflicted with the mission of the Pavilion of Honesty. Under such circumstances, he was actually allowed to join the Pavilion of Honesty without making any guarantees. Was it because Ye Mi, the daughter of the Pavilion of Honesty, was too powerful, or was the Pavilion of Honesty too ambitious?

"Mission aside, what does it have to do with our selection of assassins? Unless it's something big that affects the entire Honesty Pavilion, we won't interfere even if there's a conflict between the assassins' missions. We'll just have to rely on our own abilities. "

"The reward for assassinating an official of Pei State is quite high, but it won't affect me recommending you to join."

Ye Mi explained disapprovingly. Gu Chen understood. To put it simply, it was profit-seeking!

Honesty Pavilion was a very pure assassin organization. As long as they were paid, they would work for the employer. But if someone offered a higher price to kill the employer, they would accept it.

They had no standpoint and only cared about profit. Naturally, they didn't care if Gu Chen's identity conflicted with their employer's!

"Although the pavilion doesn't care about your public identity, the identities of the assassins in the pavilion are mostly confidential. To ensure that you won't be killed by your own people, you'd better leave the Tang Family as soon as possible." Ye Mi repeated the old words purely out of kindness. She didn't want the person she had just recommended to die as soon as he joined Honesty Pavilion. That would be very embarrassing for her.

"Isn't Wang Pavilion afraid of incurring the wrath of the royal family of Dacheng by intervening in the fight for the throne of Dacheng?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

If the Second Prince really made use of the Pavilion of Honesty to gain control of Pei Kingdom, it would be fine if he ascended to the throne and became the Emperor of Dacheng in the future. But if he failed to seize power, wouldn't the Flaming Sun Crown Prince take revenge on the Pavilion of Honesty which was his accomplice?

Gu Chen was suspicious of the Pavilion of Honesty's stance. If he could get a clear answer, perhaps he could make use of it.

"As long as we are paid, we will do whatever we want. We have never taken a stand. Everyone in the Dacheng Dynasty knows this. If the Flaming Sun Crown Prince feels that what we are doing is disadvantageous to him, he can always ask us for help with a large sum of money. As long as he offers a higher price than the others, he will naturally gain the upper hand. "

"As for settling scores after the fall, if someone really comes looking for trouble, our Pavilion of Innocence is not to be trifled with. Even the ruler of the Great Cheng Dynasty will have to think twice."

Ye Mi laughed coldly, her tone concealing her pride. She intentionally wanted to show Gu Chen how powerful the Pavilion of Honesty was.

After hearing what she said, Gu Chen indeed had a better understanding of the Pavilion of Honesty's power. He also realized that this organization had no stand at all. They didn't even have moral integrity, let alone a stand. One could order them around as long as they had money!

"Must the Pavilion of Honesty exterminate the Tang Family?" Gu Chen asked after some thought.

"Why? According to my investigation, your relationship with the Tang Family is actually not that deep, and your relationship with them is very short-lived. There is no need for you to take the risk for them, right? "Ye Mi frowned, feeling puzzled.

Although Gu Chen's identity wouldn't affect her recommendation, how could he be exempted from background checks?

She had already investigated. Gu Chen's relationship with the Tang Family began when the Tang siblings were on their way to the Luo Men. It was very short.

And the Tang Family had a lot of complaints about the increased financial pressure of the Tang Family because of the additional Tang Family High Priest. This person probably didn't have a good life in the Tang Family.

Therefore, she thought that since she had reminded him to this extent, and he had joined the Pavilion of Honesty as he wished, he would abandon the Tang Family without hesitation.

"You've taken advantage of me. If possible, I'll still protect the Tang family." Gu Chen didn't say anything definite.

"You definitely can't protect the Tang Family."

Ye Mi shook her head and decided to be straightforward. "Tang Xuance controls the military power of the Pei Nation's Water Dance Army, and the Water Dance Army is responsible for the defense of Pei Du. Thus, whoever controls this military power can influence the life and death of all the officials in Pei Du, and can even threaten the safety of Prince Pei."

"The second prince, Wu Lie, didn't hesitate to carry out large-scale assassinations in order to control the Pei Nation. Do you think he will let the Tang Family go? Therefore, when he hired us, he made it clear that Tang Xuance must die no matter what! "

"In fact, the killers of the Pavilion of Honesty have already tried many ways to assassinate Tang Xuance, but they have all failed. However, since they have accepted the mission, and the second prince's reward is not low, the Pavilion of Honesty won't give up so easily. A famous killer has already accepted the mission. "

When speaking of that killer, Ye Mi's eyes lit up. She was full of confidence in him, as if as long as he accepted the mission, it was impossible for him to fail.

"With that killer around, even if you follow Tang Xuance closely, you won't be able to protect him. Instead, you'll easily lose your life."

"I know you have some skills, but you're definitely not on the same level as that person. It's better for you to give up on the Tang Family. Otherwise, that person won't know you're also from the Pavilion of Honesty, and if he kills you, no one will stand up for you!"

Ye Mi spoke with conviction, but Gu Chen just smiled and didn't argue.

"Alright, I've learned everything I need to know. You can leave the Divine Ascension World now."

Ye Mi reminded Gu Chen. He had finished explaining everything that needed to be explained, and he had already visited everything he could in this tiny Divine Ascension World.

The longer one stayed in the Divine Ascension World, the more the Divine Ascension Orb would wear out.

Gu Chen's Divine Ascension Orb could only be used two or three times, and the longer he stayed, the less effective it would be. Ye Mi didn't want him to waste it.

Gu Chen had no objections. Following Ye Mi's instructions, he meditated for a while and his consciousness quickly left the Divine Ascension World.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any Divine Ascension World. He was in his own courtyard, holding the Divine Ascension Orb in his hand.

The Divine Ascension Orb's light was now slightly dimmer than before. Gu Chen slid his finger across the surface of the orb and used his Divine Sense to probe its interior.

The Divine Ascension Orb now had an additional Spiritual Brand. With this Spiritual Brand, it would be easier for him to enter and exit the Divine Ascension World of Honesty Pavilion in the future.

At the same time, because of this Spiritual Brand, the Divine Ascension Orb had an exclusionary nature. Even if others obtained this Divine Ascension Orb, they wouldn't be able to enter the Divine Ascension World, effectively preventing others from taking advantage of this loophole.

Gu Chen secretly marveled at the magic of this thing, and then kept it close to his body.
