Chapter 1918

After ten days, he finally appeared in front of everyone, and the first thing he did was completely unexpected!

He ordered the Clay Bodhisattva to take down Liu Yan and Tang Xuance, who had come to discuss business. Then, he sent Ye Mi to invite Ye Wunian to the Luoshui Palace for a chat!

When Ye Wunian arrived, he saw Liu Yan and Tang Xuance kneeling on the ground and couldn't move. He couldn't help but smile.

"Why don't you just kill them?" he asked.

Liu Yan had only become Prince Pei because of Gu Chen's support, and Tang Xuance held great authority over the army, so he also obeyed Gu Chen's orders.

These two were almost symbols of Gu Chen's influence in Pei State. Now that he had tied them up for him to see, it meant that he was ready to agree to the conditions, give up his influence in Pei State, and become the deputy pavilion master of Honesty Pavilion.

"Liu Yan is my disciple, after all. Killing him without any reason would make me lose face."

"As for Tang Xuance, he's the marshal of Pei State's military and has great influence in the military, especially in the Shuiwu Military. Killing him could easily shake the military's morale and cause unnecessary accidents. You don't want to see that, do you?"

"Don't kill these two first. Put them in prison for now. After I become the deputy pavilion master of Honesty Pavilion and leave Pei City, you can do whatever you want with them."

"By then, you can help Liu Che get the position, or you can become Prince Pei yourself. Up to you!"

Gu Chen said coldly, obviously in a bad mood.

Ye Wunian sensed the resentment in his words and smiled carelessly. "Okay, we'll do as you say."

He didn't care about Liu Yan and Tang Xuance's lives at all. Without Gu Chen as their backer, their influence in the imperial court would easily collapse.

On the contrary, he was indeed too ruthless. If he didn't give Gu Chen any face and forced him to fight to the death, things would become much more troublesome.

Therefore, he agreed to the simple request of letting them live for two more days without hesitation.

"To prevent you from going back on your word, I must accept the position of deputy pavilion master in front of enough senior members of Honesty Pavilion to witness it."

Gu Chen made another request, showing his deep distrust of Ye Wunian.

"Don't worry, I've already considered that. On the day of your and Xun 'er's wedding, many high-level cultivators of Honesty Pavilion will come. At that time, I will publicly announce that you have become the Deputy Pavilion Leader. Are you satisfied with this arrangement? "

Ye Wunian said with a smile. Even if Gu Chen didn't say anything, everyone would be present at the wedding banquet.

Gu Chen's face seemed to ease a lot when he heard this, and he glanced at Ye Mi. "When are we holding the wedding?"

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. How about we hold it three days later?" Ye Wunian said.

"We're in such a hurry. Will the higher-ups of the pavilion make it in time?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"To tell you the truth, in order to ensure that the situation in Great Cheng can be stabilized as soon as possible, I've already sent many people from the Pavilion to Pei State. They'll be able to catch up."

Ye Wunian replied indifferently.

Seeing that there were no problems, Gu Chen nodded. "Alright, let's get married in three days!"

Tang Xuance, who was kneeling on the ground, heard their conversation. His face was full of anger, and his eyes widened as he cursed loudly.

"Chen Yi, you heartless thing! His Majesty treated you as a teacher and even a father. I didn't expect you to abandon us without hesitation for your own benefit!"

"I've really misjudged you. I shouldn't have invited you, you ungrateful wretch!"

Gu Chen was indifferent when he heard this. He only instructed the Clay Bodhisattva, "Throw them into prison!"

The Clay Bodhisattva nodded and immediately dragged the two away. Before Liu Yan left, he glared at Gu Chen with bloodshot eyes, as if he had a deep hatred for him.

Seeing this, Ye Wunian shook her head. "These two really don't know how to be grateful. If it weren't for you, how could they be in the limelight now?"

"This is how the world is. Although it's a pity to give up Pei State, don't take it to heart. You'll only get more in the future. I'm already old, and Honesty Pavilion will be handed over to you two sooner or later. "

Ye Wunian took Ye Mi's hand and placed it on Gu Chen's.

"Don't worry, Godfather. I won't let you down."

Ye Mi's face revealed a girl's joy, as well as some shyness.

Gu Chen nodded as well, seeming to have understood.

"After Mi 'er marries you, we'll be father and son. I hope I can hear you call me' Father 'then."

Ye Wunian looked kind. After saying what needed to be said, she asked Ye Mi to spend more time with Gu Chen. Then, she left, saying that she would personally supervise the wedding banquet and make sure it went well.

The wedding venue was Luoshui Palace. On the day the wedding was decided, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs entered Luoshui Palace to prepare for the wedding banquet.

Liu Yan and Tang Xuance's imprisonment didn't cause much of a stir, because this matter was strictly sealed off from the outside world.

Originally, Honesty Pavilion's surveillance of the royal palace, especially Luoshui Palace, was carried out in secret. But after the wedding was decided, it became aboveboard in the name of this matter.

Luoshui Palace had always been quiet, but it became lively in just a few days. Among the people coming and going, there were spies from Honesty Pavilion, strengthening their control over the place.

Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex had special people to serve it, and Clay Bodhisattva, the chief steward of Luoshui Palace, always had people following him when he went out.

Everyone around Gu Chen was under surveillance, and Ye Mi was no exception. Wherever he went, there were two maids following him.

Gu Chen was fine, but even Ye Wunian didn't dare to arrange maids around him. That would be too obvious.

However, from outside Luoshui Palace, or even inside Luoshui Palace, there would often be gazes directed at Gu Chen, paying attention to his every movement.

Those spying on him weren't ordinary killers either. They were all Nation War-level killers of Honesty Pavilion. To ensure that nothing would go wrong at the wedding, Ye Wunian had obviously put in a lot of effort.

On the night before the wedding, when Gu Chen passed through the brightly lit corridors and entered his room, which was plastered with the Chinese character "Happy", he could feel several gazes sizing him up in the dark.

These people were Honesty Pavilion's top experts in stealth and spying. They thought that Gu Chen wouldn't be able to see through them.

Gu Chen entered his room and closed the door behind him. He murmured softly, as if talking to himself.

"Are you confident? Right now, the Luoshui Palace has gathered a group of top killers from the Great Sheng Dynasty. If you fail, things will become very troublesome. "

"Don't worry. I can see the positions of those so-called top killers clearly. Even if I'm right in front of them, they might not be able to see through my disguise."

"They are only Great Sheng's top killers, but my clan is born to be the top killers in the entire Primordial Dao World!"

A low and confident voice sounded in Gu Chen's ears. However, the entire room was clearly empty.

Gu Chen smiled and didn't say anything else. He got onto his bed and meditated for an entire night.

The next day, the wedding day arrived.

This was destined to be a bloody wedding!
