Chapter 1810

Householder Peach Blossom's body stiffened. He turned his head around and smiled awkwardly.

"It's a small world. I didn't expect you to be a member of Honesty Pavilion. If I had known, I would have gone to Peidu to drink with you and get to know you better."

He should have said this a few days ago when he reunited with Gu Chen, but Taoist Layman Peach Blossom had been hiding from him, pretending not to know Gu Chen. It was not until he took the initiative to talk to him today that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

There was only one reason for this: it was too embarrassing last time.

At the banquet in Peidu Palace, Master Peach Blossom had appeared with great momentum, intending to intimidate everyone in Peidu.

However, in the end, not only did he fail to kill Tang Xuance, but he also fled after exchanging a few blows with Gu Chen. He became the biggest joke in the world.

This matter quickly spread within Honesty Pavilion, but because it was deliberately blocked, most people didn't know who had caused him trouble and caused him to be disgraced.

For this high-level mission, Honesty Pavilion once again let Master Peach Blossom lead the team, and the person who had caused him trouble last time was in the team. If other team members knew about this, where would the dignity of a battle-level killer from another country go?

Thus, he pretended not to know anything along the way and tried not to talk to Gu Chen, afraid that he would reveal his embarrassing deed.

Fortunately, Gu Chen gave him face and was very cooperative along the way, pretending not to know him. Master Peach Blossom gradually calmed down.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen didn't intend to keep pretending. He still came looking for him.

He glanced at the four elite killers in the distance and confirmed that they couldn't hear their conversation. Master Peach Blossom didn't hide anything anymore.

"I didn't expect you to lead the team for this mission. It's really fate. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened in Peidu. I want to talk to you alone. Now that the mission is imminent, I don't want our previous conflict to cause any misunderstandings and affect the mission. "

Gu Chen smiled and explained the reason for his visit. His assurance made Master Peach Blossom let down his guard.

"I see. You worry too much, Fellow Daoist Chen. We were on a mission in Peidu before, and there was no conflict between us! This time, you and I are working together to carry out the same mission. I believe that we are both professionals! "Householder Peach Blossom emphasized.

"If Fellow Daoist says so, then I'm relieved. However, in accordance with the principle of openness and sincerity, I have a question I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist." Gu Chen changed the subject.

"Do you have any questions?"

"I was chosen by the Pavilion Master to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime mission. Was it your idea?"

Gu Chen welcomed him with a smile, but Master Peach Blossom, who was listening, could not help but raise his eyebrows. "Why would you think that?"

"I just joined the Pavilion of Innocence not long ago. I haven't made any contributions, but I can participate in such a high-level mission. Isn't it strange?"

"When I saw you, I wondered if you had recommended me to the Pavilion Master. Otherwise, how could I have such an honor?"

"Considering that I made Fellow Daoist lose face last time, Fellow Daoist still disregarded our past enmity and recommended me to carry out the dream level mission. It really makes one's imagination run wild …"

As Gu Chen spoke, his expression suddenly turned cold, and a faint murderous intent lingered around him.

Only Master Peach Blossom could sense this murderous intent. His expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly explained, "Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't misunderstand. I definitely didn't recommend you to the Pavilion Master. At first, I didn't even know that you were one of us!"

The meaning of Gu Chen's words was clear. He suspected that Master Peach Blossom was up to no good on purpose and wanted him to join this mission so that he could scheme against him.

If he admitted to such a thing, it would be strange if Master Peach Blossom didn't attack him immediately!

Although their last fight was short, Master Peach Blossom knew very well that he was definitely no match for this person in front of him. He did not want to be pressed to the ground by him!

Once he was beaten to the ground, it would be a small matter if he was physically injured, but losing face was a big matter!

If he could deal with Master Peach Blossom peacefully, he would not provoke him, even if he appeared to be a little cowardly!

"Oh? If that's the case, why did the Pavilion Master choose me? "Gu Chen looked unconvinced and even clenched his fists in protest.

"Aren't you Miss Ye's partner? Miss Ye is the Pavilion Master's adopted daughter, so it's normal that he thinks highly of you! "Master Peach Blossom blurted out and stepped back, for fear that Gu Chen would really attack him.

"Is that so?" Gu Chen's eyes flickered.

Ye Mi had explained the reason to him, but he still didn't believe it. He always felt that Ye Wunian might have an ulterior motive.

Originally, he wanted to figure out Ye Wunian's thoughts from their conversation. However, their conversation was too short, so he could only start from Master Peach Blossom.

Now that Master Peach Blossom said the same thing as Ye Mi, Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking.

Seeing that Master Peach Blossom was afraid and was ready to escape at any time, Gu Chen knew that he wouldn't get any more information from him, so he smiled. "Sorry to disturb you, fellow Daoist. Take the time to rest."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Master Peach Blossom was relieved. Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Did I see it wrong? Master Peach Blossom took a few steps back? "Tu Xiong, who was resting far away, raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

Although they couldn't hear what Gu Chen and Master Peach Blossom were talking about, they could see their actions and expressions from afar.

Gu Chen's back was facing them, so they couldn't see anything. However, Master Peach Blossom's expression was thought-provoking. His sudden defensive retreat was even more confusing.

"Looking at Master Peach Blossom's body movements, he seems … seems to be afraid of Chen Yi." Lady Storm's expression turned solemn. This was something they didn't expect at all.

"Interesting." The Whisperer let out a strange, deep laugh.

"Are you saying that Master Peach Blossom is afraid of Chen Yi? Don't you think this is ridiculous? "The Craftsman raised his eyebrows and felt very displeased.

He had seen the conversation between the two of them. Master Peach Blossom's actions were indeed strange, but he wouldn't believe that he was afraid of Chen Yi.

After all, Master Peach Blossom was a Nation War level assassin. He was their current target. Why would he be afraid of someone who wasn't even an elite assassin?

"It is ridiculous, but how do you explain what happened just now?"

"Maybe it was just a coincidence. Look, that guy is coming."

While the four of them were talking, Gu Chen had already walked over. Storm asked with a smile. Lady Storm smiled and asked, "What was Daoist Chen talking about with Master Peach Blossom?"

Gu Chen was surprised. No one had taken the initiative to talk to him along the way.

He took a closer look and realized that everyone was staring at him curiously. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Nothing much. We should be arriving at our destination soon. I couldn't help but ask about the details of the mission." Gu Chen casually made up a story.

"Oh? Then did Master Peach Blossom answer? "Lady Storm looked doubtful. If it was just asking about the mission, why would Master Peach Blossom have such a reaction?

Besides, along the way, they had made indirect inquiries about Householder Peach Blossom, but he had always kept his mouth shut. He was extremely secretive. Wasn't Gu Chen wasting his efforts?
