When he opened the door, he saw a beautiful woman.
She had put on exquisite makeup today and was wearing a smoky silk dress. At first glance, she was so stunning that Gu Chen almost didn't recognize her.
"Miss Ye seems to be in a good mood today," Gu Chen teased with a strange expression.
The visitor was none other than Ye Mi. Only she would sneak into the Luo Water Palace in the middle of the night, and the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex had even let her in.
This was none other than Ye Mi. Only she would sneak into the Luo Water Palace in the middle of the night, and the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex had even let her in.
However, Ye Mi usually wore a bamboo hat, a veil, and a black cloak — the standard attire of an assassin from Honesty Pavilion. Today, however, she had obviously dressed up deliberately, showing off her beauty to the fullest. It really didn't seem like her usual style.
Ye Mi heard Gu Chen's teasing and blushed, glaring at him fiercely. "What? Can't I? "
She walked straight into Gu Chen's room and slammed her right hand on the table.
A token suddenly appeared on the table. It was a dark blue Divine Travel Pearl.
Gu Chen smiled slightly. "It seems that Honesty Pavilion's reward has arrived. That's fast."
Ye Mi turned to look at Gu Chen's calm expression, feeling a little complicated.
She had introduced Gu Chen to him and had indeed had high hopes for him. The two of them had even talked things over in Ze Country Villa and established a true cooperative relationship.
However, she hadn't expected that Gu Chen's performance would be far more outstanding than she had imagined. Not only had he completed his mission in Ze Country, but he had also made a great contribution!
Her foster father had expressed great praise for him and told her clearly that she had to make him fall in love with her no matter what!
This was a strict order. Ye Mi understood her foster father's temperament, which meant that he would monitor her actions and ensure that she was attentive to Gu Chen.
What was the best proof of her attentiveness?
Thinking of this, Ye Mi's heart was filled with bitterness, and he slightly regretted his hasty actions from before.
She had been working hard to climb to a high enough position so that her fate wouldn't be controlled by others.
She didn't want to be like her other sisters, completely tying her fate to a man, because she knew what would happen if she lost that man.
However, she was too clever for her own good. She wanted to make use of Gu Chen, but she didn't expect him to be too outstanding. In the end, he became her curse!
"The pavilion has already officially issued your orders. You are now receiving the treatment of a Kingdom War. This Divine Ascension Bead is different from the one I gave you before; it has an unlimited number of uses. "
"From now on, when you enter the Divine Ascension Realm, you'll enjoy all three levels of authority. In addition, if you need anything, you can use this token to mobilize the assassins of Honest Pavilion within the borders of the Pei State."
"Godfather also told me that if you have any other requests, you can tell me and I will pass them on to him."
Ye Mi tried hard to get rid of the complicated and contradictory thoughts in his mind. He began to read out the reward that the Pavilion of Innocence had for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen walked forward and picked up the token and Divine Travel Pearl from the table, examining them carefully without saying a word.
The Pavilion of Innocence's reward was not surprising; Ye Wunian had promised him the treatment of a Kingdom War.
Being able to mobilize assassins within the borders of the Pei State and have access to the third level of the Divine Ascension Realm's small pavilion to browse through important information was Gu Chen's original goal.
As for why Ye Wunian had specifically told Ye Mi that he could raise any other requests, it was a little thought-provoking.
If Gu Chen still didn't know the real background behind Ye Wunian's identity as the Pavilion Master of Unwarranted Pavilion, he might not be able to guess what Ye Wunian was thinking. However, now that he knew that Ye Wunian was related to the rebel army, some things were very easy to figure out.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Gu Chen accepted the Divine Ascension Bead and token and smiled at Ye Mi. "Since the Pavilion Master has said so, I really do have a presumptuous request. I hope he will agree."
"Speak. I will pass on your message to Godfather and do my best to help you convince him," Ye Mi said without hesitation.
Ye Mi said without hesitation. She had said this not because her foster father wanted her to please Gu Chen, but because Gu Chen had fulfilled his promise to her.
No matter what changes had occurred to the plan, Gu Chen had indeed helped her rise in the ranks of Innocence Pavilion. Now, she had surpassed her sisters and gained her godfather's attention.
The other party had given her what she wanted. If she blamed him for doing too much, that would be too much.
What she wanted to do now was to repay Gu Chen as much as possible. Only when she didn't feel like she owed him anything could she live with integrity. Only by cooperating with him would she have the confidence to do so!
"I want detailed information on all the assassins and spies of Innocence Pavilion within the seven countries of Great Cheng."
Gu Chen stated his request bluntly. His words made Ye Mi, who had just made a solemn vow, feel like she had swallowed a sword.
"That's impossible! Not to mention giving you all the information on all the assassins and spies, even if you only want some of them, it would still be very difficult. Many assassins and spies have sensitive identities and are related to many of Innocence Pavilion's secrets. Even if you're a war-level killer, unless there's a reasonable mission requirement, you have no right to retrieve their information! "
"What's more, why do you want the information on all the assassins and spies? If you give this information to the enemy, they can destroy the foundation of Innocence Pavilion in one fell swoop. Do you think my godfather will agree to your request? "
Ye Mi couldn't help but say. Gu Chen's request was so unreasonable that she didn't even dare to mention it to her godfather.
"If you can't give me all the information, then just give me the information on the members of Innocence Pavilion hidden in the Sheng Yang realm and in the court of the seven countries."
Of course, Gu Chen knew that Ye Wunian wouldn't give him everything. What he said just now was just to pave the way for this request.
There was a saying that if you wanted to open a window in a room, you would be rejected if you asked directly. But if you said you wanted to demolish the house first, most people would be willing to let you open the window.
"Why do you want the information on so many people?"
Seeing that Gu Chen had given in so easily, Ye Mi's expression became much better. She began to seriously consider the feasibility of his request.
To be honest, as a huge killer organization, Innocence Pavilion naturally had many of its own people planted in the Sheng Yang realm and the seven countries.
Most of these people had been carefully trained from a young age and were absolutely loyal to Innocence Pavilion. After a long period of infiltration in various countries, some of these people even held high positions in their countries.
They were extremely important connections and resources of Innocence Pavilion. Because of the sensitive nature of being undercover, only a few people in the pavilion could get in touch with them. Others knew nothing about them.
Gu Chen's request undoubtedly involved the core secrets of Innocence Pavilion. Ye Mi couldn't imagine her godfather agreeing!
"Your request is very difficult. I can't promise you anything," Ye Mi replied after a moment of hesitation. Finally, she decided to give it a try.
"It's okay. Just mention it to the Pavilion Master. It's okay if it doesn't work out."
Gu Chen said casually, but in his heart, he was thinking that if Ye Wunian's intentions toward him were as he guessed, then he definitely wouldn't reject his request.
