Chapter 1807

Tu Xiong stopped talking, and his expression turned cold. Storm and the Whisperer laughed coldly.

Since the craftsman had pointed out some things, there was no need to continue pretending.

A mission close to the Dream Level was extremely precious, and they had waited many years for this opportunity.

Countless assassins in the pavilion dreamed of such an opportunity, and the competition was extremely fierce. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a battle of life and death.

The four people present knew each other very well. Perhaps they were dissatisfied with their rankings in the pavilion, but they all recognized them in their hearts.

However, the youth in front of them was different. He had just joined the Pavilion of Innocence, and there was no news of him accepting any missions. There were also no rumors of his strength, yet he had made an exception and joined their competition. Naturally, they were dissatisfied.

They did not know that Gu Chen had defeated Master Peach Blossom in Peidu, so they were already prejudiced against him even before they met.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they were all experienced people, and would not fall out with him without knowing his background.

However, the craftsman had gone crazy for some reason, and had even expressed his dissatisfaction with the Pavilion Master. There was no need for them to continue pretending.

"Since no one has any objections, I won't hold back."

The craftsman strode towards Gu Chen and grinned. "Little Mi, stand aside. Let me see what your man is capable of."

"You have no right to call me that!" The disgust on Ye Mi's face deepened. The fact that the craftsman had called Gu Chen her man made her blush even more.

"Fatty, don't overdo it! If you hurt someone, how are you going to explain it to my godfather when he comes? "Ye Mi shouted, her pretty face clouded over.

"I'm helping the Pavilion Master test his strength in advance. If he's a good-for-nothing, it will save the Pavilion Master's time, won't it?"

The craftsman smiled, obviously not intending to stop. He crooked his finger at Gu Chen. "Brat, I'll give you a chance to make the first move."

"Why should I make the first move?" Gu Chen only looked at the craftsman calmly.

Storm was surprised to hear this, and looked at Gu Chen again.

There was not the slightest hint of emotion in the other party's voice, and it did not seem like he was pretending to be calm. Instead, it gave off the feeling of calmness and composure of a person who had seen through thousands of ships.

It was clearly the Blacksmith who was showing off, but for some reason, she was worried about the Blacksmith's safety at this moment.

This was just intuition, the pure intuition of an assassin!

The craftsman was taken aback by Gu Chen's nonchalant attitude, and he asked in a dark voice, "Brat, I've already said this. Don't you want to prove that you're qualified to sit with us?"

"Prove myself? Prove my strength to you? "Gu Chen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth in disdain.

This kind of disdain came from the inside out, and it was not a bluff at all. It made everyone present instinctively feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort spread, making the craftsman even angrier. Just as he was about to make a move, a tightly shut door in the depths of the villa opened.

Creak —

As the door opened, two figures walked out one after the other.

Everyone's expressions turned cold, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Greetings, Pavilion Leader."

The middle-aged man in the lead wore a mask on half of his face, and the other half was his real face. Judging from this half of his face, he must have been quite handsome when he was young.

He wore a yellow robe, and his left sleeve was empty. He had actually lost an arm.

This person was obviously the Pavilion Leader of Wang Shi Pavilion, Ye Wunian, because Gu Chen knew the person behind him. She was dressed in red and pink, and her appearance was more gentle and beautiful than most beauties. It was the Peach Blossom Householder whom he had fought for a short time.

The Peach Blossom Householder followed behind Ye Wunian. When he saw Gu Chen, his expression became somewhat unnatural.

He recalled the scene of him fleeing in panic last time. If he hadn't run fast enough, he might have been pinned to the ground by this guy.

"No need to stand on ceremony."

Ye Wunian said to the crowd expressionlessly. Then, he looked around and his eyes fell on Gu Chen.

"This must be my young friend Chen Yi, right?" A rare smile appeared on his face.

"Greetings, Pavilion Leader, I'm Chen Yi," Gu Chen said, neither servile nor overbearing.

"Very good. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, and now I finally get to meet you." Ye Wunian ignored everyone else, and only talked to Gu Chen in a rather friendly manner.

As Ye Wunian's adopted daughter, Ye Jin and the others knew that he was indifferent and rarely got close to others. Seeing him like this, they were all very surprised.

Especially when he said "I've been wanting to meet you for a long time," they were even more confused. Could it be that this Chen Yi had a powerful background?

The Craftsman and the other three elite killers were ignored, and their expressions were also somewhat unnatural.

With the Pavilion Leader's insight, it was impossible that he didn't know anything about what had happened in the courtyard. However, after he arrived, he didn't mention it at all. Instead, he showed that he was close to Chen Yi. What did this mean?

Everyone felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that the Pavilion Leader was biased toward the candidates who participated in this important mission?

"Alright, time is precious. You already know why I called you here, so I won't say more."

After chatting with Gu Chen for a while, Ye Wunian went to the main topic, and his expression turned serious.

"The difficulty of this mission is extremely high. As you can see, Householder Peach Blossom will be fully responsible for it."

At this moment, Householder Peach Blossom, a Kingdom War-level killer, appeared in the villa. Everyone wasn't a fool, and they naturally guessed that he had something to do with this mission.

"I called you here with the intention of selecting one of you to assist Householder Peach Blossom in completing the mission. However, I just received news that the difficulty of this mission is going to be increased again. Therefore, I changed my mind. All five of you will be selected! "

All of you will be selected?

Everyone present was shocked as they didn't expect such a change to occur.

The Kingdom War-level mission was already close to the Fantasy Grade. Now that it was increased again, didn't it mean that this mission was already a genuine Fantasy Grade mission?!

After guessing that the difficulty of this mission had increased by several folds, they didn't have any joy of being selected. Instead, their expressions turned grave.

Gu Chen squinted his eyes and sized up Ye Wunian carefully.

"Pavilion Leader, if all five of us participate in this mission, how are we going to be rewarded? It can't be that all five of us will be promoted to the Kingdom War-level, right? "Tu Xiong asked.

The Kingdom War-level killers were the trump cards of Innocent Pavilion, and they had always been few in number. Even if this mission had reached the Fantasy Grade, it was unlikely that all the participants would be promoted to the Kingdom War-level.

Everyone was here for the sake of promotion. Of course, they had to ask the crucial questions to decide if they should risk their lives.

"With Householder Peach Blossom around, he will evaluate you based on your performance after this mission is completed. I can guarantee that the person with the greatest contribution will be promoted to the Kingdom War-level."

"In addition, since this mission has reached the Fantasy Grade, more than one person can be promoted. As for how many people will be promoted in the end, it will all depend on your performance," Ye Wunian explained.

Ye Wunian explained. His words undoubtedly set everyone's mind at ease, and their eyes lit up.
