Chapter 2022

Gu Chen glanced at Zhou Tai, who was sitting very close to the staircase. He said indifferently, "It's fine. I'm just here to look for someone."

Hearing this, Zhou Tai smiled and ignored Gu Chen.

Which guest here wasn't here to look for someone?

But even if you were looking for someone, they had to be willing to accept you.

Gu Chen scanned the fifth floor and quickly found the person he was looking for near the window. He walked over.

Zhou Tai couldn't be bothered to talk to Gu Chen, but he was surprised when he noticed where he was going.

"Isn't that the young master of the Dawn Gods, Sheng Kuafu? Does Chen Yunfei have some sort of relationship with him? "

Zhou Tai guessed, but quickly shook his head.

He had never heard of the Dawn Gods having any sort of relationship with the Chen Clan. The difference in status between the two was even greater.

Not to mention the fact that the Dawn Gods were much stronger than the Chen Clan, Chen Yunfei was far inferior to Sheng Kuafu in terms of status.

Sheng Kuafu was the next leader of the Dawn Gods. He was extremely talented, while Chen Yunfei had long been pushed out of the core circle of the Chen Clan.

While Zhou Tai was thinking, Gu Chen had already reached Sheng Kuafu's table and was stopped by his guards.

Members of the Dawn Gods were born with golden patterns on their fair skin. They even had a pair of wings on their backs that were also covered in golden patterns.

It was the same for Sheng Kuafu. At the center of his brows, layers of golden patterns gathered like a vortex.

Sheng Kuafu was currently enjoying a lobster from the deep sea. He chewed slowly and didn't look up at Gu Chen at all.

Gu Chen wasn't annoyed by the guards. He smiled at Sheng Kuafu and said, "Young master Sheng, I am Chen Yunfei from Pei Chao. Would you mind sitting down for a chat?"

Gu Chen didn't mention the Chen Clan, but Pei Chao. He guessed that if he said he was from the Chen Clan, the other party probably wouldn't remember who he was.

"Pei Chao? Shouldn't it be Cheng Chao? "

Sheng Kuafu paused in his eating and looked up. He was finally a little interested in Gu Chen.

"The Cheng dynasty is a thing of the past. Now, the Liu family is in charge," Gu Chen explained.

Sheng Kuafu narrowed his eyes and pointed at the empty seat opposite him. "Sit down."

Seeing that the first step was successful, Gu Chen handed the ancient umbrella to the Clay Bodhisattva and sat down calmly.

The Clay Bodhisattva stood together with Sheng Kuafu's guards with the ancient umbrella in his arms. He looked calm as well.

"Although the Blazing Sun Clan is not recognized by the Daybreak God Clan, their hearts have always been sincere, and they have never stopped worshipping us. You destroyed the Cheng Dynasty, and you still dare to come to me? Are you tired of living? "Sheng Kuafu said expressionlessly.

As the Young Clan Leader, he had long been involved in the decision-making of the clan's affairs. Hence, he was aware of how the Cheng Dynasty had fallen.

Back then, someone in the clan had suggested sending troops for the Blazing Sun Clan. After all, the Blazing Sun Clan had been born thanks to the Patriarch, and they had worshipped the Patriarch's statue for generations. They had even paid tribute to some of the clan members.

However, because the Cheng Dynasty was too far away from the Daybreak God Clan's territory, intervening would trigger the sensitivities of the other factions. Moreover, the benefits of supporting the Blazing Sun Clan were extremely limited, so the suggestion was ultimately rejected.

Although the suggestion was rejected, the Great Prophet of the Luo Sect and Chen Yi of the Chen Clan who had caused the Blazing Sun Clan to lose their empire had left an impression on him.

This Chen Yunfei was Chen Yi. The Daybreak God Clan hadn't gone to find trouble with him, but he had instead come to them. Sheng Kuafu was curious about what he wanted.

"Back then, the Pei Chao had no choice but to mobilize their troops. It was an act of self-preservation. Please forgive us, Young Clan Leader. After the incident, the Pei Chao preserved the bloodline of the Blazing Sun Clan, so the two sides could be considered to have reconciled. "

Gu Chen's attitude was rather humble. It was as if he had come to explain this matter and didn't want to offend the Daybreak God Clan.

"Hmph, if you had driven the Blazing Sun Clan to the last man and embarrassed the Daybreak God Clan, we would have been in deep trouble a long time ago." Sheng Kuafu sneered.

"The Pei Chao would never dare to make an enemy of the Daybreak God Clan, and I don't dare to offend the Young Clan Leader either. I happened to find out that the Young Clan Leader was here, so I specially came to apologize."

As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a brocade box from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"What is this?"

Sheng Kuafu asked indifferently. It seemed like the other party had come to give him a gift.

However, he had never lacked anything, so he didn't think that a gift from the other party would be able to pique his interest.

"Blazing Pearl."

"Oh?"

The originally indifferent Sheng Kuafu raised his eyebrows and immediately opened the brocade box.

Inside the brocade box was a dazzling, spotless bead. Without the restriction of the brocade box, the bead gave off a warm energy, making people feel inexplicably comfortable.

"Excellent quality. This Blazing Pearl isn't cheap."

Sheng Kuafu closed the brocade box. His eyes flickered as he sized up Gu Chen again.

Everyone knew that the Daybreak God Clan cultivated the Dao of Light, especially their Elder Ancestor, who had become an Elder Ancestor with the Great Light Technique.

The Blazing Pearl was a light-attribute treasure born from heaven and earth, and had always been beneficial to the cultivation of his clan.

The Blazing Pearl in front of him was one in a thousand. To him, who was currently stuck at a bottleneck, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it came at the right time. It could save him at least a few hundred years of hard work.

This was a great gift!

"In order to find this gift, I've gone through a lot of trouble all these years. If the Young Clan Leader likes it, then my efforts won't be in vain," Gu Chen said emotionally.

"Oh? You've been preparing this gift for a long time? "Sheng Kuafu was skeptical.

"That's not important."

Gu Chen smiled, as if he didn't want to explain further. However, the more he acted like this, the more people felt that he had indeed put in a lot of effort for this gift.

Sheng Kuafu's expression instantly became much friendlier. As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person, not to mention that the other party had given him such a great gift.

"It's normal for dynasties to change. The Blazing Sun Clan's decline can only be blamed for their failure."

Sheng Kuafu relaxed, meaning that he wouldn't pursue the matter of the Blazing Sun Clan.

Then, he put away the Blazing Pearl.

Seeing this, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Sheng Kuafu wasn't that difficult to get along with.

After obtaining the complete guest list yesterday, he thought about it for an entire night. After filtering and elimination, he finally locked onto this Sheng Kuafu.

First of all, even among the distinguished guests of the Leaping Carp Tower, Sheng Kuafu's background was still among the top. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to stay in the Sky Courtyard.

If he could befriend him, it would be more likely for him to get to know Zhang Hao of the Grand Qi Palace.

Secondly, and most importantly, it was the karma between him and the Dawn God Clan.

Whether it was Zhang Hao of the Grand Qi Palace or Jiang Beidou of the Star Sea Sect, he had never met them before. If he took the initiative to approach them, he would only be rejected.

However, Sheng Kuafu was different. He used the matter of the Blazing Sun Clan as an excuse to approach them and then gave them a gift of apology. This way, it wouldn't be too abrupt.

After Sheng Kuafu accepted the gift, their relationship became closer, and he had a chance to squeeze into their circle.

As for the Blazing Pearl, it was indeed rare, but because it was only useful to a special clan like the Daybreak God Clan, its value wasn't as high as expected.

This Blazing Pearl had been in his possession for almost a year. It had been brought back to him by someone from the Hidden Dragon Clan during a black market transaction.

Possessing a lot of information on the Divine Ascension Realm was equivalent to possessing a huge amount of wealth. A mere Blazing Pearl was nothing to Gu Chen. If Sheng Kuafu liked it, then it was worth it.

With the gift as a bridge, Sheng Kuafu didn't mind Gu Chen eating at the same table as him. The two of them chatted casually and seemed to be having a good time.
