Chapter 2036

When Gu Chen returned to the Leaping Carp Building, the Clay Bodhisattva had been waiting for him at the entrance for a long time.

He left for an entire night. Furthermore, the commotion from last night's battle had already spread throughout Binhai City. It was hard for the Clay Bodhisattva not to think too much, worried that something had happened to Gu Chen.

Fortunately, Gu Chen was back. The Clay Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at Zhang Hao and Sheng Kuafu beside him, he quietly followed behind Gu Chen.

After the trip to the Bubble Sea, the three of them had become more familiar with each other. They entered the Leaping Carp Tower together and chatted cheerfully along the way.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of many customers of the Leaping Carp Tower. Some saw that Zhang Hao was eager to make a move and wanted to go up to talk to him, but they were worried, while others focused their eyes on Gu Chen and Sheng Kuafu.

As undercurrents surged from all sides, the three of them had already exchanged a few polite words before returning to their respective rooms.

As soon as Gu Chen returned to the room, he casually set up a restriction and then started to communicate with the Clay Bodhisattva.

"Boss is really amazing. In such a short period of time, he managed to form a relationship with the True Disciples of the Grand Qi Palace."

The Clay Bodhisattva flattered.

"It's just good luck."

Gu Chen shook his head. What happened last night was a complete coincidence, but it also had a lot to do with the entry point he chose at the beginning.

If he hadn't found Sheng Kuafu, he wouldn't have helped Hai Hong, and naturally wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to enter the Sea Heaven Palace, making Zhang Hao owe him a favor.

Come to think of it, Zhang Hao was really patient. He obviously valued the stone statue very much, but he resisted the urge to ask for it along the way. When they returned to the Leaping Carp Tower, he went straight to his residence as if nothing had happened.

He didn't know when he would come looking for him. If he chose to do it tonight, it would be troublesome.

"What's the situation with Ji Yang?"

Gu Chen asked about tonight's official business.

"The elders of the Ghost Parade have all arrived, but Madam Du's whereabouts are still unknown. Because it's being held in the coastal waters, and there was quite a commotion there last night, the Sword Pavilion has put in more manpower today, and the security is especially tight. "

The Clay Bodhisattva knew what Gu Chen wanted to hear and picked out the key points.

Gu Chen knitted his brows when he heard that the Sword Firmament Pavilion's defenses had tightened. He couldn't help thinking of a beautiful figure.

"Among the female disciples in charge of maintaining order in Binhai City, there's a person called Chu Meixin. I wonder if you have any impression of her?"

"Chu Meixin? What's so special about this female disciple? "

The Clay Bodhisattva was stunned. He did not understand why Gu Chen suddenly mentioned an unrelated person. He had always been interested in his own goals.

"This Chu Mei Xin is an old friend of mine in Chaos Sea, she came to Chaos Sea with Fang Yuan a hundred years ago."

Gu Chen sighed. He had nothing to hide from the Clay Bodhisattva.

He was very surprised when he reunited with Chu Meixin. He didn't expect to meet her in Binhai City, nor did he expect her to become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion.

This little princess of the Sword Commandery was once his friend. The Humble Sword Lord even wanted to marry her to him, but he refused.

Gu Chen had always known about Chu Meixin's feelings for him. After rejecting the marriage proposal back then, their relationship became subtle and there was a knot in their hearts.

Later, when the Realm Sea opened, Fang Yuan crazily slaughtered the Dao Lords of the Hundred Counties. Chu Meixin's grandfather, the Humble Sword Lord, was among them.

Back then, Fang Yuan had used his identity to do this. Chu Meixin probably did not know the truth, so how much did she hate him after that?

Gu Chen had thought about Chu Meixin's situation, but he had too many more important things to do, be it during the hundred years of suppressing the darkness chaos or after entering the Dao World. Thus, Chu Meixin's whereabouts were naturally not in his consideration.

This time, they had met by chance. He realized that the once graceful Chu Meixin had become ice-cold. Apart from her appearance, she was like a completely different person. He could not help but feel touched.

What had happened to her in the past hundred years?

"Boss, you actually met an old friend. There was a deviation in our intelligence!"

Clay Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He knew the seriousness of this matter.

Although Gu Chen's disguise technique was extremely powerful and could be said to be a completely different person, there could still be accidents if he met someone he was familiar with.

Furthermore, the purpose of this trip was not simple. The appearance of any old friend could increase the risk of this matter!

"I don't mean to blame you. I just want you to investigate Chu Meixin's encounter after entering the Dao World."

"This matter reminds me that I should have known the whereabouts of some old friends and partners long ago."

Gu Chen pondered. He had not developed and utilized such a powerful intelligence network in the Divine Ascension Realm enough.

"Okay, I understand. I will pass down the order to send the information about Chu Meixin as soon as possible."

Clay Bodhisattva nodded seriously. He noticed that Gu Chen's emotions were fluctuating, so he asked out of curiosity.

"Boss, is Chu Meixin beautiful?"

"Even Zhang Hao treats her differently. What do you think?" Gu Chen replied casually. He recalled that Zhang Hao had attacked because of Chu Meixin last night.

To be honest, he did not think that a man like Zhang Hao would attack because of a beauty. Thinking about the Sea Heaven Palace incident, he must have wanted to intervene long ago. Chu Meixin just happened to be there.

"Oh? Boss, do you have a special relationship with this Miss Chu? "

Clay Bodhisattva suddenly felt that he had seen through the truth when he heard that Chu Meixin was very beautiful. He chuckled.

Gu Chen was speechless.

At noon, Zhang Hao personally visited and invited Gu Chen to have lunch together.

This made Gu Chen heave a sigh of relief. He was worried that Zhang Hao would choose to look for him at night, which would make it inconvenient for tonight's operation.

On the surface, it was lunch, but Gu Chen was very clear about Zhang Hao's real purpose. He closed the door and then handed him the stone statue that Zhang Hao wanted.

Gu Chen had examined the mystery of this stone statue. Under very careful investigation, he found that the stone statue contained a special power. The aura it emitted was quite similar to the aura that Zhang Hao gave when he cast spells. It probably had something to do with the Tao inheritance of the Tai Qi Palace.

After further investigation, Gu Chen vaguely felt that it was like a bloodline power, very ancient and vast.

As for whether it was true or not, and what this power was used for, perhaps he could only find out by destroying the stone statue. Of course, Gu Chen would not do that.

No matter how precious this stone statue was, Gu Chen was sure that it would not benefit him. It would be much more valuable in Zhang Hao's hands.

After receiving the stone statue from Gu Chen, Zhang Hao could not help but smile. It was as if he had finally obtained what he had been dreaming of.

"I will never forget Brother Chen's kindness."

Zhang Hao cupped his hands and said with emotion.

"There's no need to forget it. You can just repay me."

Gu Chen teased. Zhang Hao was stunned when he heard this, but then he burst into laughter.

Then, the two of them left the room together. Gu Chen specially went to call Sheng Kuafu, and then the three of them went to the fifth floor of the Leaping Carp Tower.

The fifth floor was still full, just like the day before. The Zhou Dynasty's retired emperor, Zhou Tai, was still sitting near the staircase, waiting for his prey.
