Chapter 2046
"Is what they said true?"
Qu Fengxian looked at Gu Chen with a frown.
Gu Chen exchanged glances with Hai Hong and Hai Xuan. Sensing that they had no ill intentions, he nodded calmly.
"That's right. Last night, Bao Yu was handed over to Brother Hai Hong. Elder Qu, you've found the wrong person."
Qu Fengxian's heart sank. He said angrily, "Reckless fool! What right do you have to hand my disciple over to others? "
Gu Chen's gaze turned cold. He had already said that Bao Yu was with Hai Hong, but Qu Fengxian was still pointing at him and scolding him. He was clearly a bully.
"Hey, Elder Qu, I said he's with me. Why are you making things difficult for Brother Chen?"
Hai Hong strode forward, obviously defending Gu Chen.
Qu Fengxian glanced at the old man beside the Hai siblings and suppressed his anger. "This is a grudge between the Dragon Taming Sect and the Chen Clan. What is the meaning of the Ocean Clan getting involved? What reason does the Ocean Clan have to detain my disciple? "
"Bao Yu teamed up with Jiang Beidou from the Star Sea Sect to bully my brother in the Ocean Clan's territory. Naturally, we have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, won't everyone think that the Ocean Clan is weak and easy to bully?"
Hai Xuan answered for Hai Hong. There was some helplessness in her eyes.
This was a grudge between the Dragon Taming Sect and Chen Yunfei. It indeed had nothing to do with them. According to her personality, she would not care.
However, her brother had always been loyal. Chen Yunfei had helped him before. Although the clan had already rewarded him, he still felt indebted to him. Hence, he took the initiative to stir up trouble.
She would not stop her brother from being grateful. However, the Dragon Taming Sect was not to be trifled with. Hence, she could not allow him to speak carelessly. She answered for him first.
"Didn't Bao Yu learn his lesson from what happened previously? Why, is the Ocean Clan still not satisfied? "
Qu Fengxian had heard about what had happened previously. Bao Yu had indeed offended the Ocean Clan, but they had also taught him a lesson. Logically speaking, the matter should have been over!
"Whether we are satisfied or not, the Ocean Clan has the final say. We have to appease my brother's anger."
Hai Xuan said calmly. Seeing the veins on Qu Fengxian's forehead bulge, she added.
"Of course, I can assure Elder Qu that Bao Yu's life will not be in any danger. He will be released in a few days. It's not a bad thing for young people to suffer a little, am I right, Elder Qu? "
Qu Fengxian's expression softened. If it was only a few days of imprisonment, although it was shameful, it was not unacceptable.
As a genius of the sect, Bao Yu had always thought highly of himself. This time, it was indeed not a bad thing for him to suffer a little and recognize his own worth.
Most importantly, this place was close to the Bubble Sea. The forces of the Sea Clan far surpassed his Dragon Taming Sect. Even if he said no, it would only be more embarrassing!
"Alright! For the next few days, the Old Man stayed in the Leaping Carp Building, waiting for the Eon Sea race to release the man! If he's not back by the end of the auction, he'll bear the consequences! "
Qu Feng first threw down some harsh words, then flicked his sleeves and left. His speed was extremely fast, as if he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he continued to chat.
When Qu Feng could no longer be seen, Gu Chen looked at the siblings and asked calmly, "Why did you help me?"
"We didn't know each other before, but you helped me, so I'll help you today," Hai Hong said with a grin.
In fact, he had long wanted to find Gu Chen to express his gratitude, but he had been placed in confinement previously.
"Your Clan has already expressed their gratitude."
Gu Chen shook his head. He had passed the stone statue he had obtained from the Sea Heaven Palace to Zhang Hao in exchange for a great favor. Compared to the previous favor of saving him, he had already profited greatly.
"My clan belongs to my clan, and mine belongs to me! It's mainly because I feel that Brother Chen is a good person and want to be friends with you. So, Brother Chen, you don't have to be so polite with me over such a small matter! "
Hai Hong looked fierce, but he was not a scheming person. His words were sincere and pleasing to the ear.
"In that case, we're already friends."
Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. People like Hai Hong, who would fight with Jiang Beidou over the killing of fish, looked strange, but they actually had a pure heart, and a pure heart was the most precious.
Gu Chen and Hai Hong were chatting happily when Hai Xuan reminded him. "Young Master Chen, Bao Yu is highly valued in the Dragon Taming Sect. Although you have a grudge against him, it's enough."
After the news was released just now, the Dragon Taming Sect had already determined that Bao Yu was in the hands of the Sea Clan. If anything happened to Bao Yu, the Sea Clan would be in a lot of trouble.
Therefore, she had to remind Gu Chen not to let him be fearless because of the Sea Clan's protection and even misjudge the situation.
"Miss Hai Xuan, don't worry. I'll find a suitable time to release Bao Yu."
Gu Chen understood what she meant and smiled. Hai Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
"May I know who this is …"
Gu Chen asked curiously as he looked at the elder from the Eon Sea Race who was following the siblings.
When the three of them appeared, Gu Chen first noticed the elder. There was no other reason. His cultivation level was higher than the siblings'. He was probably very close to the Great Sage realm.
"This is my clan's Elder, Hai Dongxin. We all call him Uncle Dong," Hai Hong introduced.
"Greetings, Senior."
Gu Chen smiled and bowed. Since he was of the same generation as Hai Hong, it was only right for him to address him as such.
Hai Dongxin nodded simply. It wasn't because he was arrogant, but because he was a man of few words.
"Brother Hai Hong, you didn't come to Binhai City just to look for me, right?"
Gu Chen asked curiously. If they were just looking for him to repay a favor, there was no need for Hai Dongxin to follow them.
"We want to see the Ghost Street Parade auction, but we've never been familiar with land. Therefore, we specially came to look for Brother Chen and wanted you to lead the way," Hai Hong said straightforwardly.
Hai Hong said bluntly. Gu Chen was suddenly enlightened.
No wonder Hai Xuan had said that they would meet again soon when they left the bottom of the sea. It turned out that the Eon Sea race had long wanted to participate in the auction.
Thinking about it, it was normal. Even though there were countless treasures in the Sea Heaven Palace, the Ghost Street Parade auction gathered all the treasures in the Nine Mountains and Seas. There would always be things that the Eon Sea race needed but didn't have.
As for asking him to lead the way, it was more to make friends.
Gu Chen was instantly put in a difficult position. He was indeed going to participate in the auction, but he had a hidden agenda. If he were to be with the Hai Hong siblings, it was inevitable that he would be exposed.
However, refusing would be even more suspicious. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. I'm also planning to participate in the auction. Brother Hai Hong, wait a moment. I'll call Brother Sheng too. "
Sheng Kuafu had also helped that day. Hai Hong had the intention to befriend him, so there was naturally no reason for him to disagree.
Therefore, Gu Chen went to look for Sheng Kuafu. During this time, Clay Bodhisattva left the Leaping Carp Building alone.
Although there were some variables, Clay Bodhisattva knew that his boss would definitely have a way to deal with it. He just needed to be responsible for him and Ninja's mission.
Gu Chen and Sheng Kuafu didn't make Hai Hong and the other two wait for long. Everyone headed for the auction together.
