Chapter 2037

When Zhou Tai saw Gu Chen and Zhang Hao go upstairs together, his expression was very interesting.

In the morning, he had heard that Chen Yunfei and Zhang Hao had returned to the Leaping Carp Tower together. At the time, he had been skeptical and thought it impossible.

After all, whether it was the other's identity, age, or talent, there shouldn't be anything that would catch the eye of a true disciple of the Supreme Qi Palace.

But now the truth was right in front of him. The other had actually had lunch with Zhang Hao and seemed to be chatting happily. Their relationship was clearly not shallow!

Zhou Tai didn't know how the other had done this, but he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't provoked the other. Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets.

Since there was no grudge and they had exchanged a few words before, Zhou Tai's skin was extremely thick as he hurried forward.

"Fellow Chen, what a coincidence, we meet again."

He pretended to run into Gu Chen by chance and changed the "young friend" from "fellow" to "fellow" in a very friendly manner.

Gu Chen saw the urgency in Zhou Tai's eyes and immediately knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Tai's mockery yesterday was still fresh in his mind. His current attitude was nothing more than flattery, but Gu Chen didn't look down on him, nor did he intend to treat him coldly.

"Elder Zhou is also eating here," he said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, are you familiar with this person?"

Zhang Hao and Sheng Kuafu looked over when they saw someone talking to Gu Chen. Zhang Hao asked casually.

Zhou Tai's heart immediately tightened. If Gu Chen said he wasn't familiar with him, it would not only be embarrassing but also embarrassing.

"Yes, we are friends."

Gu Chen responded with a smile and didn't refute Zhou Tai's words.

In his view, Zhou Tai was already very old, but he was still willing to lower himself and try to make friends with a disciple of the Supreme Qi Palace for the future of the Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone had their own position and responsibilities, just like how he had tried to get to know Zhang Hao for his own purposes. Now that Zhou Tai had summoned up the courage to talk, there was no need for him to be angry. After all, one more friend meant one more future.

Zhou Tai felt relieved when he heard Gu Chen's words. He even felt grateful for him.

"Since you know each other, let's eat together."

Zhang Hao nodded. He was pleasantly surprised that he had invited Zhou Tai to lunch with him.

He never thought that Chen Yunfei would actually have such a big face. According to the information he had previously obtained, this Successor Disciple of the Supreme Qi Palace did not want to have any dealings with the major powers.

Gu Chen naturally had no objection. He could also see that Zhang Hao had begun to fulfill his promise and treated him differently in front of outsiders.

Zhou Tai entered the only private room on the fifth floor with Gu Chen's group of three as he wished, causing many of the guests to reveal looks of envy.

They all knew what the retired emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was thinking. Like them, he had run into a wall, but now, he had become Zhang Hao's guest.

It was obvious that this was because of the young man with the umbrella. For a moment, many people's eyes flickered as they turned their attention to Gu Chen.

He seemed to be approachable. Compared to trying to get close to Zhang Hao directly, this seemed to be a good breakthrough point …

Inside the private room, the four of them sat down and chatted while eating lunch.

"I heard that Sir Zhou's bloodline has some connection to the Zhou Clan from the Third Mountain and Sea. Is that true?"

Zhang Hao casually asked, now that he had learned Zhou Tai's identity.

When Gu Chen heard this, he was a bit surprised, and couldn't help but look over at Zhou Tai.

After coming to the Dao World and gaining a general understanding of the world, Gu Chen had come to understand some things.

The Zhou Clan from the Third Mountain and Sea was none other than the White-Haired Devil Prince, Zhou Fengling, who had once been a disciple of the Tyrant Clan. He had abandoned his bloodline and married into one of the major powers of the Dao World.

Uncle Ling had never been willing to talk about the Zhou Clan, most likely because he felt it was dishonorable. However, Gu Chen had relied on his own intelligence network to learn a bit more, including about Uncle Ling and his wife.

Many years had passed since they had parted ways at the Realm Sea. Gu Chen hadn't gone looking for Uncle Ling because he didn't think the time was right.

He had never imagined that he would hear about the Zhou Clan here.

Zhou Tai's surname was Zhou, but there were many people in the world with the same surname. Furthermore, the Zhou Dynasty was located in the Second Mountain and Sea, and the Vanished God Army didn't have any information about it. Therefore, Gu Chen hadn't connected the two powers together.

"Oh? There's such a thing? "

Sheng Kuafu also looked interested. Although the Zhou Dynasty's imperial family was present at the Heavenly Pure Heaven Dao Court, they didn't have a Dao Ancestor. At most, they were a second-rate power.

However, the Zhou Clan of the Third Mountain and Sea was different. In terms of power, they were above the Dawn God Clan, and the Great Void Technique that they mastered was enviable.

Feeling the curious gazes of the crowd, Zhou Tai didn't feel proud because he was related to the Zhou Clan. Instead, he answered awkwardly, "My clan's ancestor was indeed from the Zhou Clan, but he severed his ties with the Zhou Clan a long time ago. He also ordered his descendants to never use the Zhou Clan's name, and that they had to rely on themselves."

Severed ties?

The three people present looked at each other. It seemed that there was a story behind this, but Zhou Tai clearly didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't ask any further.

Gu Chen suspected that Zhang Hao might know some inside information, but seeing that he was also pretending not to know, he didn't ask for a rebuff. He was secretly on guard.

The secret of the alternate space under the sea, and the origin of the Zhou Dynasty, the breadth and depth of the information that the Grand Qi Palace had was obviously extraordinary, far above his Hidden God Army.

He didn't know how they did it, but the Divine Wander World of the Grand Qi Palace couldn't be found, so it might not even exist.

"Tonight, the Elders of the Nether Parade will be holding a banquet. I've received an invitation. I wonder if everyone is interested in going?"

As they chatted, Zhang Hao changed the topic.

"A banquet held by the Nether Parade will probably be attended by many shady rats, right?" Sheng Kuafu said sarcastically when he heard that.

The rats he was referring to were the big shots in the Dark World. As a first-rate power with a Dao Ancestor, the Dawn God Clan didn't care about the Dark World at all.

"There might be some big cats hiding among the rats. The shady business of the various powers in the Dark World isn't a secret. You might be able to meet some interesting people there."

Zhang Hao paused, then continued, "Also, I heard that the current owner of the Nether Parade, Madam Du, is as beautiful as a fairy. Who knows, you might have a chance to get close to her?"

"Brother Zhang, you're of high status. Isn't it inappropriate for you to attend the banquet?"

Sheng Kuafu wondered if Zhang Hao was lustful. Last night, he had treated the beautiful female disciples of the Sword Pavilion differently. If that was the case, he could cater to his preferences.

"It's not appropriate to show your face directly, but can't you just disguise yourself? Anyway, there are many people in this banquet who don't want to reveal their true identities, "Zhang Hao thought.

"Since Brother Zhang is in the mood, it's not a bad idea to join in the fun."

Sheng Kuafu wasn't actually very interested, but he was willing to get to know Zhang Hao better.

"I wonder what treasures will appear in the auction tomorrow. We should be able to get some information in advance if we go to this banquet."

Zhou Tai naturally couldn't ask for more and agreed readily.

"What about Brother Chen?" Zhang Hao looked at Gu Chen, who hadn't spoken yet.
